Disgusting mud walk

What is better than going for a walk on the farm? Nothing! On a hot sunny afternoon Amaru,Ringakaha,Hikurangi, Amira and I went for a afternoon walk on the farm. At first we were looking for Tuna but that got boring so we went for a walk to the big disgusting swamp. It was very disgusting because it smelt rotten and it was like mud and poo put in water.

 The first thing I heard was Amira shouting”Help!, Help!” I tried and tried to pull her out but she got stuck in the quicksand. In a split second I looked at her and she began to sink.The next thing I knew, Hikurangi started to sink as well.When they finally set free we tried to find a easier way to the big swamp. So we had to walk anxiously right around.

 When we finally reached the fence we saw Maui just staring at us. Amira called out” What are you doing Maui you creep”? He was just standing there like a headless chicken.We walked over to him and asked him if he wanted to come for a swim, He happily replied “YUP!” so one by one we all jumped the fence. By then My shoes and socks were saturated. So I tried to hurry them all up. But they were taking their time so Amira and I began to walk home quickly because it was getting dark.

Matariki

Yesterday Matua Hemara was our teacher and he asked us to make a presentation about matariki.

Lazahris's 4th Birthday at Gravity

W.A.L.T structure a recount.
Raatu 1 o haratua, 2018

In the holidays, I travelled to Auckland with my family

to celebrate my nephew’s 4th birthday.

The night before his birthday my sister prepared his cake,

the birthday cake was Spider Man themed.

When the morning sunshine hit at 6.00 clock sharp, Lazahris,

his parents and I awoke and we got ready to set off to the dawn
Parade. It was freezing outside! When we got home,

Well by that time everyone finally Arose. Lazahris set off

on a little treasure hunt to find his presents. His first present

was a pack of beyblades and a beyblade arena.After he found

all of his presents he ran off for a shower and started to play

with his new toys.Minutes later Delynah said “Collect up all the
food and your stuff and hop in the car” So Lazahris hoped in the
car and I buckled up Elijah. Later Delynah and I plus Elijah

hoped in the car and zoomed off to Gravity.

When we arrived at Gravity Lazahris and I quickly hopped

out of the car and raced to the doors. We finally made it and

most of Lazahris’s friends were already there so Delynah hurried to the counter and paid for Lazahris and I. When Lazahris and I got to the tramps he was so pumped that he rushed onto the tramps

and tumbled straight away because of how bouncey they were.

After awhile of jumping I could start to feel the adrenaline
pumping through my blood.

Next me and Kaya went with a bunch of girls to play dodgeball.
There was a big as area just for dodgeball and it was surrounded with
blue netting.Gravity was Extreme. Then the game finally started and
we started shooting the other girls. But lucky for us we had soft balls
to shoot with.Later on that day we went to the park for lunch.
We had Pizza,Hot chips,Cocktails,sausage rolls,Brownie and loads
of finger food.The food was devine.Next Karlin and I went to feed
the ducks.Out popped an ugly Catfish and a big bunch of eels,
So we bolted off to grab some bread.Bloop,Bloop,Bloop was all
we could hear because the eels and the catfish were gobbling up
the bread.After Karlin and I were finished feeding the ducks we
headed back up by the picnic.

What is the difference between a Whakatauki and a whakatauaki? DO you know?

We have been learning about the difference between a Whakatauki and a Whakatauaki.

Ki O Rahi

W.A.L.T structure a recount
We recently had a tournament for Ki o Rahi and when
we got back to school we had to write a recount about
Ki O Rahi.

On a muggy Friday morning, as we set up the Tautoro
gazebo I gazed at the the Ki o Rahi fields and said to
myself “ I can’t wait to play.” Finally all the schools showed up.
Minutes later we went to the main gazebo to find out what field
we were playing on. On our first game we versed Omania.
We won and the score was 36 - 6 to us. I was so nervous
because that was our first game.

The next team we versed was the Christian School.
The score was 56 - 14 to us.But we were doing quick
points and one of the Christian school’s teachers must
have got jealous that we were winning so she went and
told Whaea Leila. When she returned Whaea Leila
confirmed that we were no longer aloud to do quick points.
Anyways by the time we versed the christian school we were
all warmed up and ready to win, But most of all to have Fun.

After a few more games of Ki O Rahi we had a break.
So we all walked to the gazebo to have a snack.
About five minutes later we went back to the field to have
another game against Te Kura Kaupapa O Kaikohe.
When the Mc Blew the horn we started. Everyone was
guarded by one of the students from the Kura.
The kura Didn’t take their eyes off our team and our
team was letting it get to them. So when it was half
time matt taught us a strategy, The strategy was to
just let them stand by you and when the ball went to my
middle you ran away because if you were running while the
ball was out of the middle you would have gotten tired.
What do you know, the strategy worked and they slowly
began to leave us alone.But in the end we lost, but we all
still had fun, They won by four points.
The score was 29 - 25.

The Next game we played we versed the Intermediate school.
They were totally cheating by defending.
They were smacking our hands away when they were
scoring tries.But we still smoked them in the end.

In Conclusion I think we all had fun and we were
all competitive which was our main goal.
I can’t wait for our next tournament.
I was so proud of our team even though
we didn’t compete in the finals.
I was also proud of our team because we all
participated and we weren’t looking like a bunch
of stun mullets.
