That was Christmas 

 

Have you ever tasted Christmas?

Sure you have

Remember the time you ate roast turkey? That time you went out on a walk into the cold, where all the snowflakes fell into your mouth from the night sky. That was Christmas

 

Have you ever smelt Christmas? 

Sure you have!

Remember the time when you smelt the wet dirt from the rain, the food cooking and the smoke from the chimney. That was Christmas

 

Have you ever felt Christmas?

Sure you have!

Remember the time when you felt the freezing snow, the feeling of happiness with friends and family, the satisfaction when the food was cooked just right. That was Christmas

 

Have you ever heard Christmas?

Sure you have!

Remember the time when the Christmas carols were so loud that you had to cover your ears? The ringing bells to sign that it is almost Christmas and the kids running around so excited for Santa. That was Christmas

Team Tui expo

Today Team tui did an expo of their LCS.   I made a samoan Ula, its a traditional necklace and my friends made some other cool stuff. Later some kids and whanau came in and looked at all our work but then I got hungry so Phyu in and selina got themselves an ice block and phyu sin got me a sausage sizzle. Later I went to zurielle just to see what shes up to and she was just sitting watching the kids playing basketball. I think Today I was proud of myself doing samoan slides looking at everyone else’s work and creating my Ula.

 

 

 

 What makes a good leader

What a good leader should do

 A good leader aims for their goals and makes sure to include passion, confidence and encouragement and also to include their team as well which is everyone not just one.

Bad leaders only care about who’s right but good leaders care about what’s right.In fact the truth of a good leader tells you about what’s not right for you and what’s right for your team and your people.

A good leader leads by example such as leading their team to the right path and making sure everyone catches up. 

Bad leaders usually are selfish and care about himself but a good leader cares about everyone and encourages them but not for themself because they want to help their team first.

Athletics  day

On Friday we had  athletics day we did  lots of things like high jump, long jump, shot put and relays. first we got into our year groups I was in the year 6’s girls group and we first started with shot put which you would have a  heavy ball and you have to throw it as far as you cane I was not that good with, but I was very good with high jump  and long jump. Later we had a break and the teachers were calling up people that ordered food the food that was there was sausage sizzle, ice pops and drinks I  only got a drink and a ice pop.

 

Later the relays happened I wasn’t picked cause I was hiding, but I was cheering for my team and then I  got hungry so I  went to go get my lunch from my bag it was like the races were actually real like they were racing for a trophy.  wasn’t really the winning team but they tried.

New Beginnings

Late at night, mist covering the night sky kids scream as the sky turns more and more purple the sun turns into a flame of dust in a moment of time till the moon comes and gets taken over and becomes a melted ice berk..

Days go by nights, nights go by days and the planet called earth was no longer a part of earth everything that was living grass, plants, animals, water and humans it turned into black and purple ever human was evolving into the grounds

Animals turned into beasts and fierce things that would make you  have nightmares every night and the sun and moon were no longer there it was like they were no longer existence

 But one night at 3 o’clock someone or something will turn everything back together and the planet called earth will be united.

Serval days later and nothing has picked up yet the sun and moon were to late but there was a light on the floor in a house there was a piece of glass it shined and shined till the sun was rising and the moon went down all the monsters and beast turned into animals again poisoned water now turned into healing water and humans came back.

All thanks  just to a piece of glass. That glass was actually really a key; it was a key to make darkness take off and make things the opposite. 

Today’s experiment – 2 different coke and sprite

Today we decided to do some little explosions with diet coke, normal coke and sprite. first we wanted to make sure that its the same shape bottle, the same amount of fizzy and the same mentos flavour.   then we wanted to do some questions about whats in the coke and sprite and how it gets active when you either shake it and put mentos. As you can see in these images there are three bottles of fizzy, it was kinda hard putting 5 mentos in cause we did it with our hands it was cool cause at the end we started drinking the coke and eating the mentos.

 

On Monday after karakia Team Tui stayed back to do some fun maths. Mr Raj told us to get into three groups and there were three activities. playing cards, flipping the bottle and greedy pig. First we get a dice and roll it and what number we get then put it on our papers and when we get 50 and over we wait for the next round to start. Later we were swapping and my group went to playing cards we have to complete tasks on the tv for the playing cards it was hard cause I didnt like this one. I liked flip the bottle better cause it was easy
