The Big Jump

In class, we had to rewrite the story in our own words. My group's story was "The Big Jump". I found this kind of hard because I did want to change the story a bit but I couldn't. This story is about a boy named Big Daddy (Funny right?) and he is afraid of the flying fox. 

Have you ever been on a flying fox before? If you have, let me know

The chills that ran down my spine as I attempted to go down the flying fox. I was sick to my stomach. I couldn't DARE go down this flying fox. "I don't have a death wish" I said to myself. But then Tim came up to the platform and tried to talk me into it but I couldn't. What if I fell? What if I get stuck? I didn't l know what to do because I was so scared. But then he told Sandra, the instructor, to do a tandem. He put a harness on and rode down with me. I nearly wet myself because we were going SO FAST. Once we got to the bottom, We hit a few tyres. It really hurt but I think it hurt more for Tim. Tim was barely breathing and crying. "What happened" Everyone was asking. " I had to help Tim, he was to scared, he nearly wet himself. I didn't want to make myself seem less tough. I'm glad Tim helped me from that horrific trip to the ground.


Stay Awesome, Possums!

I Love Me!

This term, we are learning about Taonga. Taonga means treasure or something that is very important to you. This task is all about culture.  I am Cook Island and Tongan. we had to talk about family tradition, traditional food and old stories etc. As I made this presentation, I realised how much my culture means to me and how I love my family. I think I did pretty good.

What I found hard: finding information to add in to it.

What I found easy: using colours that attract the eye

What I could improve on: adding more pictures.

Goodbye!

Willow Weavers!

In class, we had to make an information web again. Our Story was called 'Willow Weavers'.
This was a very interesting story. It was about weaving using long, strong and thin sticks.

So how about you? Have you weaved before? If you have, let me know!

Being A Zookeeper

In class, we had to make a Information Web about the topic of our book. My group (Matilda) was reading 'Zookeeper For A Day'.

An Information Web is information that is built up to be the shape of a web. You have the name of the book in the middle and then the categories, and then the info. 

I hope you learnt something from this.

Enjoy!

My Taonga!

In class, we had to make a poster showing our Taonga. A Taonga is something you love more than anything. This is my one. I have my Culture, Blankets and my Family. I chose my family because they are very special to me. My culture is very special to me as well.

I had a blanket that I had every since I was born. I loved it. I loved the way it felt and it made me feel happy. Sometimes when I was at school, I wished I had it with me but I couldn't. I never put it down and when it was in the wash I would ask "When is it done?". Recently, I grew out of it and it is now in the dump.

So how about you? Did you have a toy or thing that is your Taonga?
If you did, let me know!

Enjoy!
