Dear Mr Gifkins,                                                                                              

I am writing to you to tell you how much I appreciated kapa haka. It was a lovely experience and I liked going to the kapa haka festival to see how other kapa haka people do it there way and to learn new songs and hakas. If I was here at Parkvale School next year than I would love to do kapa haka again because of the amazing experience I had lasted year. So I do hope that you keep having kapa haka festivals so other people can have the experience that I had.

Yours Sincerely

Kayla Anderson

Come on people step right up and buy a piece of art it is for sale for little of time. Who wouldn't like to walk in the door and see a wonderful piece of art? Remember to buy one before they are sold out.

This is my calendar art. My meaning for my kiwi in my calendar art is that I am a kiwi and my family are like kiwis and the meaning for my background is sort of like the kiwi is getting a drink.

Retelling Maui

Retelling Maui

TeIka A Maui

Maui is a strong brave warrior he has 4 mean brothers that would not let Maui do anything.  

Once upon a time Maui and he’s brothers loved fishing but Maui’s brothers would not let Maui join. But Maui new that aren't a lot of animals around so he new that he had to go fishing for food. So Maui sneaked up to his brothers Waka and jumped in as he was waiting for his brothers he started to fall asleep...

When he woke up he was in the middle of the sea. Suddenly Maui popped out of no where and he surprised his brothers as he surprised his brothers he said “hello my brothers I've come to go fishing to catch me a mighty fish” his brothers said “ we're not giving you any of our bait” so Maui punched his nose and red flashing blood came out so he wiped it on his hock and he tossed his hock in the water and then Maui pulled up his hock and a big mighty fish came up so Maui pried to the god of the sea thank you.

This story is how the north of NZ Teika A Maui came to live.

That Smell...

That Smell...

On tuesday I Kayla went to Crystals house. Me and Crystal walked into the lounge.We could smell a scent of dog poo. We thought it was one of Crystals dogs.

As me and Crystal walked in the lounge we could smell a horrible smell, that smells like poo. So me and Crystal blocked our noses as we were moaning and groaning.  Crystals nana got angry at us for moaning and groaning so we ran away as the smell got stronger and stronger, (the strong smell smells like poo.)

Me and Crystal went back to the lounge and we can smell that smell again, but this time we looked for the smell. I was determined to find the smell but sadly we can not find the smell.

When I was going home I felt bad that we did not find that smell. I felt bad because leaving the smell in the in there lounge.

In the end it was cat poo, Crystal told me it was her cat Skye so I thought that the

cat was startled because Skye gets chased by Crystals other cat who died.

Which was so sad.

~Commonwealth Games 2014~

Today in room 6 we all got lucky because we got to talk to Cams uncle who is preparing for the Commonwealth games. Cams uncle Craig Palmer he is one of the trainers how trains nz cyclists for the Commonwealth games. Room 6 & 8 asked Craig some good questions and Craig answer them nicely, no one ask yes or no questions. I even got to ask Craig Palmer a question I ask him {how long do you train for ?} and Craig said that he does not train he said that he trains the cyclist. At the end we all said “BYE”, “THANK YOU”, “GOOD NIGHT” and Craig said “bye”

I like this experience because it was new to me and it was nice to see some answers to some good questions.

Reflection for Mid Year Reflection 2014

Something I was pleased with was going on the Waka because I was scared at the start.

I really enjoyed learning maths because I liked learning new maths strategies.  

Something I found hard was poetry because it was hard to get rhymes.

Something that made me think was writing because you need to think about what you are going to write.

Something I want to get better at is talking(What can I do about it?) is talk more often to the teacher and people around me.
