Amazing Smart Relationships!

 This week in Te Ngahere we have been learning about Smart Relationships. We had to watch a Youtube video on how to stay safe online. Then we had to make 2 google presentations on how to stay safe ourselves. We were learning to do this because it is super important to know how to stay safe, just in case anything bad happens like you get kidnapped. In the future to stay safe from now on I will change my profile on all the apps I have because on one of the apps I have, it has a picture of me in front of my car with the number plate showing. This is bad because you never know someone could be tracking your car. I find this scary because it makes me feel like I am being tracked down because of my number plate (but now it has been changed).

Have you ever taken a picture of you in front of your car?

My Incredible Narrative!

 This week in Te Ngahere we made a Narrative about a story called WIng. It is a video on youtube and we had to rewrite a scene of it and add lots of detail. Here is my Narrative:

The sky was murky and unable to see. A petrified creature ran into the forest with only one wing to spare. When he was home he dashed upstairs to make a new wing. The petrified creature made his new wing and shot out of a large grey catapult. He was spinning round and round in the murky sky where the stars were glistening brightly. Until bang, he dropped on the barky forest floor; his wooden wing shattered as he was flying in the sky. He was unconscious but when his dark brown eyes opened, there were four awful-looking creatures. They had a beak as sharp as a shark's tooth, wings as sharp as a machete. Then a moment later there was a young fearless girl who was playing a mournful sound on a flute as her fingers moved mildly across the flute, she was trying to save the petrified creature's life. The machete-winged creatures didn't like the sound of the mournful flute playing so they rushed into the deep dark wood following the girl and then grabbed her and tugged on her wing until the wing hacked off of the fearless girl. The fearless girl was hurt and was dirty and covered in mud and bark, the petrified creature walked over to the girl and covered up her wound from the wing. They could hear the machete-winged creatures in the deep dark forest ahead, the gorgeous girl and the boy held hands, and with one wing each, they flew into the murky sky. The machete-winged creatures walked to where the girl and the boy flew off and they snapped the girl’s wooden flute into smithereens. Have you ever written anything with this much detail?

My Amazing Ngahere Report!

 This week in Te Ngahere we finally finished our Ngahere report. How we made our Ngahere report was we made a google doc and wrote facts about silver ferns then we put a source going to where we found the information. We did this because we were basically making a script to help people know what a silver fern is. We are going to put a sign on a tree like one of those covid traser things and they would scan it and it would go to a video about silver ferns. What I did well was reading the teachers feedback and trying to fix it. Next time I could fix the feedback a little faster. 

Have you ever written a report? 



My Holiday in Tutukaka!

On the holidays I went on holiday with my 2 brothers, mum and dad. We went to a place called Tutukaka and we stayed in a motel called The Pacific Rendezvous. It had a Spa a hot tub and a pool it even had a tennis court and a gaming room and two private beaches. Most of the time we spent was in the hot tub and the pool but the pool was freezing cold. One of the times we went to one of the private beaches and snorkeled all day it was super clear. We saw lots of piper, kina and mullet. Have you ever been snorkeling before?
