Matariki Reflection - Week 10

Matariki Reflection !!!

On Monday we had Matariki, it was really really awesome. I did Poi making and Rakau. I thought that the Poi making would be easy but when I did it, it was sort of hard. At the start I had help but at the end I didn’t because the plastic bag bit was easy but the plaiting and doing the Fishtail was hard. Everybody kept calling the stuffing Daisy the Lamb.

After I did poi making I did Rakau, it was fun because we did lots of different moves. First we used rolled up newspaper and did some difficult moves but then I got the hang of it.  We used the big Rakau for the games, I got out straight away!

Mum and Dad

Chapter 1 : The day we were creeped out!

One night when I was fast asleep, something woke me up. Was it the creepy noises? The light in my door or my open window? 
“What, where am I?” my friend Henrietta said.

“Ahhh, you scared me,” I said back.

I started walking to Sophia's room, then I saw Sophia, she had her legs crossed and her hand was holding a torch. I went in and said “ What is the matter?”

Sophia said back, “Something woke me up and I hear creepy noises."

I replied back, “Same with us.”

So we looked in my Mum and Dad’s bedroom to say what happened to us BUT their room was EMPTY. 
“How scary,” Henrietta said.

Chapter 2 : The search for Mum and Dad!

As quick as I could, I called Sienna, Kalae and Emma and said “My Mum and Dad are missing, can you help me find them?”

My friends replied back, “Of course we would.”

Once my friends got back, me and my friends and Sophia looked all around the house. Once everyone looked around the house we sat on the couch and all we could find was a little teddy bear (with one eye) ( It was creepy). So we threw it out the window and my dog ate it up...IT WAS GONE! 
Once everybody was sitting down on the couch I got  a phone call from Cowman (Cowman is the mean guy in the story) and he said, “Come to my place at midnight, and if you don’t come your Mum and Dad will be staying with me.” 
“Dirty Cowman, so will we go at midnight?” said Henrietta.

“Yes, we will go at midnight,” I said back.

Chapter 3: Mum and Dad!

So I set my alarm for 11.00 (I did it an hour before, because the girls have to get their makeup on). So when it was 11.00, the girls woke up and put their makeup on. At 11.30, we were in the car, Sophia drove us to a place and up on the top of the building it said Kidnappers Place! 
“How FREAKY,” said Henrietta.

“You are right,” I said. 
So we went in the backdoor and we tiptoed up the stairs. A few minutes later Cowman appeared in front of the door. 
“Do you want your mum and dad, and who are these people?” said Cowman.

“Yes please, and also they are my backup people,” I said.

“Paper, scissors, rock to see who wins,” said Cowman.

“Of course,” I replied back.

Guess what I did? Rock and he did Scissors! 
“Ha ha, Cowman,” I said.
That was the best day of my life.                  
What a Nightmare!

Area - Week 6

On May 25th we did some maths about Area with our seats. You are probably thinking - What? Area With Our Seats!
We learnt about Rows and Columns. Rows are across and Column are Parallels.  But Mrs Miller said it could go like this Row - Right Across and Column - Come on down.   
We did it like this: we would get our class and Mrs Miller would say make 5 rows and 6 columns. 
So my class would do 5 rows and 6 columns and then we would do the maths which would be 5 x 6 = 30 and we kept doing that for about 30 minutes (It was fun) Mrs Miller made it fun but we were still learning.  It was sort of tricky but once you got the hang of it, you got the hang of it, it was sort of easy.  Area helps builders with building  houses making a pool and all sorts of things.
