These are my not so amazing results for math.

Each term at Tautoro School we sit a basic facts test. We have 2 ½ minutes to answer 50 questions in addition, 50 in subtraction, 50 in multiplication and 50 in division.

Last term I scored a total of 149

My goal for this term was to score 149

I achieved a score of 0

Was I successful yes or no? No

Why? (What helped me, what will I do differently) I will try harder to achieve my goals. And taking more maths homework home will be better.

This link is to my goals.

This is the best best best video and slide show in the world. dont forget to comment.

Kapa haka.

It was an exciting and a spectacular day for me and my class, we were finally performing at Northland College, “YAY” we all chanted, but some of the school were going to Dargaville to represent our school because they came in the top twenty in Ohaeawai.

“Breath in breath out I said to myself” nervous nervous nervous I was, my knees felt like jelly, my stomach was full of butterflies when the curtain pulled open. “Homai te paki paki for Tautoro school” said Whaea Chicky, everyone clapped, yelled,whistled and screamed. After a while I was in the zone, I wasn’t shy and everyone around me were singing loud and it sounded amazing.

“Kia Rere Tika ai” said Harmony and Gerry in a brave and strong voice, we all sang in a courageous way and followed Harmony’s and Gerry’s commands. We even had to lean forward and backwards well singing, swinging and hitting our poi. The hardest part was hitting our poi and catching it. It was tiring but fun at the same time. At the end everyone got a bit emotional because our amazing Kuia Nana Winnie gave us an amazing 'karanga' from the crowd that blew us all away and the humongous crowd as well.

I will always remember that day because it was awesome and it was like the fifth time I’ve performed on that stage since I have been here at Tautoro School.

Our mauri and our mana were definitely on stage with us and our waka was filled with lots of pride.

WALT use simple words in Maori. Haere Mai Inaianei ai koe ma tutei ngaku haraki akoranga.

This term me and my classroom are learning to say simple words in Maori like Me (ahau) you (koe) he/she (ia) E aha(what) and dance (Kanikani)

This is my persuasive writing about having a footpath and changing the speed limit by Tehanah.

Persuasive writing.

It is not fair that we do not have a footpath for the Tautoro School children well I think that we should have a footpath for children's safety. Wouldn’t that be tremendous especially if it is for the kids safety? I think we should put a footpath from Mrs Paraha’s to the Tautoro Dairy. And change the speed limit, Who's with me? That will be kind and respecting our Rangatira and their moko’s.

My first main reason why I think we should have a footpath is because what if there is a kid in the middle of the road just standing there, you know that there is no time to stop for them. Kids walk to school every morning on the side of the road even when it is foggy. Car crashes or hit and runs are waiting to come. Put this footpath here before someone’s waiting for the bus and cars can't see them and run them over.

My second reason why we should change the speed limit is because we're here we're not invisible.Come on the Council of Kaikohe let us have our victory at least put a pedestrian at the Tautoro dairy for people and children to cross in safety. Can we please have one or two on our road it would be helpful for our safety and it would be changing people’s lives. please say yes. If you prevent this from happening you will feel the madness of Tautoro school.

In summary I think that we should put a foot path from Mrs Paraha’s to the Tautoro dairy are you with me? Anyone who knows how to run a community will agree.
