Speech Writing


Monday 11th june 2012.
Hello and welcome.
Do you know if  people are trying to get you to work for them,yes.

If I was you I will stop working and go to a better place where you can get  money and a good education so listen up if you want to work for someone else because they don’t give you that much money and don’t give you a good education so just give up and go to a
better place that can give you    lots of money and a good education.


So if you want to give up your job,get freedom from tragedy,then just quit your job and leave go to a better place that you can get more money.

If you get a good life,that means that you can be richer,better and you can have anything that you want like a family and a cool car that you can ride in.

so remember if people are trying to get you to do like bad stuff just go and  find  you a good job that makes you happy and that can get you lots of money   that job quit your old job that you hate and  go get a good education for good money.so bye for now.

Manakailani film festival

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

Guy fawkes by Cavhyon and Hine

As the sun went down and the moon came up,the moon lit up the night sky.As I walked outside I saw different fine colours and rainbows. The sky was lit up like a colourful rainbow. I could hear fireworks exploding and people were enjoying their fireworks. My dog was barking because he was locked inside an he was petrified if the noise. I could taste the smoky smoke and the fumes coming from the fireworks.It smelled like gun powder and sausage  sizzling  on the bbq.
I felt so happy, relaxed and goosebumps all over me. The fireworks in the night sky looked dazzling, spectacular and extraordinary.

My first V-log about energy

This is about the topic that we are learning this term -Energy

My Holiday In Whangarei

In the second week of my holiday’s me and my uncle drove up to whangarei in his aqua car that looked like the sky.

On the way up me and my uncle stopped at the gas station and got us something to eat.

when we got there my grandad was just getting home from the supermarket.

I felt very excited to see him because I had never seen him for a long time.

On the next day my grandad took me to the movies to watch the muppets.

I thought the movie was very funny because I like the part when a green furry frog put on fart shoes.

On sunday morning my uncle came and picked me up and took me home it was a long but when we got home my mum was waiting to take us to get a tattoo for my uncle.

I had the best holiday in the world.

The Stairs



One day there was a girl named kraven.she was so pretty that she had lots of friends around the world and on planet mars and jupiter and alain and strangers and creature and insects even bugs and she liked playing hop scotch,handball,tag,baseball and her favourite thing to do is gardening with her mom and hanging with her friends.

When she was going to play on the stairs she did not notice that she had not tied her shoes up and she saw a spider on the stair and screamed spider ahhh get that spider away I don't like poisonous spider i'm allergic to   so she fainted and  slipped down the stairs and broke her leg and she started crying but nobody in her house could hear her until the morning.

So the next morning she was found at the bottom of the stairs with the black spider poisoning her back and her whole body even her mouth and nose and her head.

So her family took her to the hospital and tried to bring her back to life but they couldn't and so she died.

So when they had her funeral her family started crying and then before the uncle left she said “uncle and the uncle said who is that and when he turned around she was sitting up and the uncle said she survived and they all were happy.

So that is why kids, you should never play on the stairs like that.

Cavhyon mangere mountaion trip

WALT write a personal recount of events.
Dear willy.

The other day was the best day ever. Do you know why ?Well I will tell you why. Me and some of the year 5 and 4 students went to Mangere Mountain.
When we got on the bus I felt safer with my friends and It took us 10 to 20 minutes to get there.

When we got there I was amazed because of the good and maori decoration.

Then a man named Mr Farrell came and introduced himself and the other people that were there. He was really tall and loude and sometime he was talking quite but I could here him.

After that he told us how to plant komada faster. He said “Get some lava rocks and when the sun is out the sun will heat them up and when the sun gets blocked the soil will stay warm”and he said that's how you grow komda in the olden days.

When I got there saw carvings that were stingrays ,river stones,pa-village,mountain,Hua kaiwaka,sand, stone,flute,patu,adze,timotimo,ko,plants and a boat that looked like a waka and it was.

I did weeding,raking,planting,searching for medcine trees and making rope-foreplay.

I felt excited because it was my first time going to mangere mountain.

My favourite  part about going to the trip was on the way back to school because me and my brother and his friends thought that a man was going to crash into the bus.

He came out really fast and nearly crashed into the bus and we got scared and then the man beeped the horn. I thought that was not happy.

When we got back to school me and my friends did not know where everyone was we thought that they had gone to another trip but when I had a look outside they were there playing outside and then I saw my teacher and she said how was the trip did you have fun?And I said yes and then she said how was it.??
