River Talk.

Last week some of the Ruapotaka senior students went walking down near Tamaki College. The  presenters  were talking about the river  because people put dirty things in the river and our fish and eels won't survive the pollution.  We learned lots of information  and the audience  loved what they saw. 

Happy New Year.

Preparing The Pola

This story is about a little girl name Amelia and it was her cousin Elisapesi  birthday. Her twenty first birthday. When they were done cooking they put candy and chips on the table. They put the food on the table and it was very heavy. Amelia and her cousin with six men had to put it in the truck carefully and Amelia and her family had to go on another truck. When the guest came over Amelia and the others had to wait. The minister had to do the prayer and the oldest had to eat. Amelia ate when they did the speeches Amelia was happy because there was plenty of food.

Maui Vs The Sun

One day there was a man named Maui and he lived in a village, but one day the sun was racing across the sky and Maui went out to go fishing to get fish for his family. It was already sunset and the fish was gone and he was so upset that he was hotter then the sun. When he was walking home Maui was thinking to himself that he could go and save the day and tell the sun to slow down. That was his plan and at night he said to his family that he could save the day and when he got out of bed he went to find lots and lots of flax to make his own net to catch the sun.

 When he found lots of flax he went to create his own net.When he was finished he walked to his friends house and woke them up and he said "Come with me because I am going to save the day". 

One of his friends woke up and he said "I will come with you" and Maui said "Okay".

Maui and his new friend walked a long way because it was out in the east side and it was still midnight. When they went away far away from the village it was nearly time for the sun to rise. Maui got out his net and the sun rose and Maui threw his net over the sun and his friend caught the other strip of the net and the sun almost got out but there were five people walking pass and Maui told them to help. They did and then the sun went down and Maui jumped and Maui said "You need to stop racing across the sky" and the sun said "Okay, okay, I will" and Maui and the five people lift him him to the sky. 

His friend went back to the village and Maui went back to his village and the people in the village said that he was our hero.

A Sad Time My Best Friend Left

My friend named Dominic left because he was moving to another house and going to a different school. We took some photos and now I have it as my wallpaper.

He was funny, kind, helpful and a very good dancer. He's half Tongan and half Fijian. He showed me some moves because his uncle is a fighter and he showed him how to move. He showed me how to Tongan dance and he knew how to Maori dance and sing as well.

He was a great friend and treated people nicely. He was in my reading group and when I got a word wrong he told me the word and he helped me sound it out.

He was a great reader and he was really quick at reading and he never missed one word. He always tried and kept it up to be better than before. He was a great and smart friend and he always tried to be helpful in school. He believed in himself.

He brought stuff like photo's of his sister and carved wood from Tonga. He loved to bring stuff for show and tell. He gave me one of his carvings and I left it in my room.

Chromebook day.

We are now learning on our own chromebooks. This is room 10 reading and checking their writing.
