My Mothers Cloak

As an infant

I felt guarded

Cloaked

in my mothers cloak

It must have looked funny

Big black eyes

Emerging from its folds

As if that was all there was

to me

I remember

Its rare threads

Amazing and booish

Their lightness

repudiate their clout

Its tivaevae-like Switchs

of slim fabric

An active shield

against sour winters

The colours loud

Yelling for mind

and space

My mother always wore

that Cloak with delight

Undaunted

by its Brightness effect

outlining her out

in a Papaa circle

But combining  beautifully

at every Market

I remember too

With childlike disdain

Discarding my mothers Cloak

Not for me

The no cool designs

extravagant colouring

and awkward fit

She wears it still

Her brooch of pride

sparkling and bright

And not long ago

I tried it on

after many years

Although its not really me

Its because of her

I can sew

on my own

Family Picnic

Family Picnic

WALT:We are learning to write a recount.

Success Criteria:I know I am Successful when my writing has Nouns, Past Ten Verbs, Time and Sequence words.

On A Sunny day in December my Family organised a picnic. We set it up near a river surrounded by the mountains. This was my school holidays.

We were all very excited. We travelled to that place by bicycles. This was a long and fun ride. As soon as we reached the place we set up our picnic table with all our things and parked our bicycles.

We saw a lady engrossed in fishing. We had lots of food for BBQ. We all helped each other in cooking and had a very yummy lunch.

Afterwards we swam in the river for sometime and later we decided to go for mountain biking. After we came back from the mountain, we had some desert.

Finally  it was time to go home. We packed all our things and cleaned the place by picking up our rubbish.

I will not forget this beautiful family picnic. I look forward to having many more fun days with my family.

The Asthma Show

Thursday 28 May 2015

The Asthma Show

Today, on a sunny morning, we had a show on Asthma in the Glenbrae School Hall. This show was hosted by a man named Chris who was dressed in a blue suit and he looked handsome.

Chris talked to us about Asthma. Chris said that Asthma was really bad and it affected our lungs and breathing. People feel as if they are  breathing in a small straw.

We learnt from Chris that asthma was triggered by flower pollen, smoke, virus, animal fur, dust mites and cold air. He told us that we could use an Asthma inhaler to help us breath if we suffered from asthma.

Later on in the show, Chris introduced Sailor, the fish. Sailor the fish was big, orangey and greeny. Sailor was funny because  he flipped is tail when he sang a song about asthma.

I learnt so many things about Asthma in the show. Now I can talk to people about asthma and how it can be treated.
