Our New Song

The past few weeks we have been learning new waiata for our Kapa Haka.We have recently learnt a new song,It's called Toku Mauri....
Here is our new song.

Toku Mauri,No tu a whakarere,
Toku Ngakau,Hei tuku Whakairo,
Toku Wairua,No nga tupuna tuturu,
He tu whakairo nei,He paepae mo te rangi,
Tenei ahau (x2)

Ru ana te whenua whatiwhati te uira,
Mo ana ki te ha,ki toku tu,
Kia kohikohi kai mo toku oranga,
Kia kohikohi kai mo toku wairua,
aue Te aroha, karere,Aue Te aroha Karere,
Tenei ahau he uri o nga tupuna,
Arataki e ahau kia puawai,
Tenei aha te Kura o Tautoro,
Arataki e ahau kia whakatau
ooooo

Daily goal

We have started to do our daily goals.Today I done My daily goal based around Maths.We have started doing our daily goals so we can achieve a goal everydya.Here is my daily goal.

About my first week back at school.

Today was a bit Challenging in Te reo because we have a set task to do. We have to write a script in Te reo Maori.1 to start off with, our whole entire script has to be in Te reo and 2 We have to figure out whos doing what and how everything is going to work. The good thing about that is I love to make and edit videos so that wont be a problem.Today Miss Simeon like usual came in to teach us maths.Miss Simeon also tought us a new factions strategy. Our Walt was W.A.L.T: add fractions with like the denominator.Our success criteria was to, Firstly find the equivalent fraction,2 the denominator had to be the same as the other one in your equation,3 simplify your fraction into an improper fraction.At first I didn't really get it until Miss Simeon gave an example.Today we have Cross country training I am excited to run the track but hopefully there isn't any massive puddles.

Goal setting

Today we had to write ourselves a writing goal for the week.We also had to say our writing goal in front of the class.Here is my writing goal.

Walk the talk!

Last week Thursday we had our speech competitions, so we were working very hard to complete our speeches.Quite a few of us didn't get to complete their speech so there was only a few competitors.Lucky for us we were able to choose if we wanted to compete in the classroom speech competitions.To make it into the school speech competition all the class contestants had to Utilise their stage space and we had to use hand gestures. I just made it into the school speech competitions and I came third.Sadly only the first place contestant was allowed to go to the rotary.

Speech draft

This week was very nervracking because this week was speech week.
Here is my speech draft.

Hi Everyone My name is Tehanah and I have chosen to speak about having a
community footpath.

I Strongly suggest that Tautoro should Have a footpath from the Falls to Honey
tree farms, so the people of Tautoro can safely walk to the Falls and we are separated
from General traffic.

My main reason why I think there should be a footpath from the falls to Honey tree
farms is because it could save lives. It is sad to think that innocent people have been
run over by vehicles and those driving have carried on without a thought.

If we don’t fix that problem instantly,that could happen to one of us! I think we need
a footpath urgently to prevent this from happening to anyone.

.Another reason why I think our community should have a footpath is because it
provides a safe place for us to walk. As you know that there are alot of children in
Tautoro that walk on our road. I think if our community worked together we would
be able to install a safe footpath for not just families in Tautoro but for all who visit.

In addition to this I think there should be a footpath from Honey tree farms to the
Falls because it would be somewhere people could exercise, and just somewhere
positive to be.

Have you ever walked to the falls? I have and it is really dangerous because all
there is on the road is the drains and gravel. There isn’t even much space provided
to walk on the sidelines.We are sick of walking to the falls in the ditch! Thats why
we need a footpath!

Having a safe footpath would also be a big help for my papa as well, you know why?
Because my papa walks on our main road every morning and sometimes in the
evenings and a footpath would be tremendous for my papa and our whanau

.I guess your thinking, Why do you even bother? Well I am writing about this so
my family and our community can be safe whilst hopefully walking on a brand
new footpath.

In summary I think our Community should have a footpath from Honey tree farms
to the Falls! The reason we need a footpath is because footpaths play a vital role
within communities and we are one of the many communities that need a footpath!
We need a footpath urgently! Anyone who knows how to run a community would
agree.Thank you for listening to my speech.
