Cyclone Lusi.

Writing

Do you know what a Cyclone is? Well a cyclone is like a mini tornado that can be formed by wind spinning round and round. A Cyclone can cause a lot of serious damage to property. Strong gale force winds caused trees to collapse. Sometimes there can be storms unexpected and people get hurt.

During a Cyclone heaps of things happen. For example homes will be wrecked, things will be blowing everywhere, flooding, huge waves, landslides, mudslides, falling trees, damage to buildings, boat evacuations and flying debris.

In the weekend the weather was very bad. There were dark clouds, gale force wind, it was really windy and it was raining but on the bright side it wasn’t as bad as we expected. But there was some annoying sounds.

To prepare secure objects outside in case they fly around and someone gets hurt. Stay inside and keep safe. Store food and water incase you get stuck in a room.Have handy a First Aid Kit for someone that gets hurt and has nothing to keep them alright.  

The Possibilities that can happen during a Cyclone are…… power outages/cuts. Sometimes maybe even deaths/accidents. Maybe people might get food shortage & water shortages. Expensive damage on homes and gardens. And instead of going to school we have to stay home.   

Fia Fia.

This year the whole school have been practising for Fia Fia that is coming up. I am in ‘Precisely That’ and my tutors and Mr Somerville and Mr Barks. I am also in Kapa Haka. My tutor in this group is Mr G and Miss Tito. They are both Maori and they speak it a lot, as well as English.

In Precisely That we have learnt some cool actions to do. We have been moving like dominos and standing like soldiers. Our moves are really modern. Our group leaders are, well nobody. We haven't chosen any people yet, so we have none.

In my group I feel like I have some confidence to go on the stage and face the audience. Last year I was shy but this year I feel like looking up and facing the crowd. I hope we do our best and work hard. I feel happy that I joined Precisely That because I just want to try something new and creative.

My favourite memory from last year was when I got to go around and look at all the stalls. One thing I bought was this block of soap. I bought ice cream (that was melted), BBQ to eat and the last thing was a custard pie.

I really just want to hop in a car and drive up North with my family. I want to go see my papa and aunties and uncles. My papa died a couple of years ago so I want to go see him. One of my aunties own a marae and sometimes we stay there. Thats why I am proud of being in the Kapa Haka group.  

Skills for Adolescence

For 3 weeks in the afternoon our class will be moving around and going to other classes. My class is in class 3 Room 22. We are learning about Adolescence. This word means growing up and becoming what you want to be. 

Empathy Storyboard.

This is my storyboard for my empathy that I created with my friends. For our movie we were doing a breaking news channel and interviewing some people. We worked really hard and we gave it our all. 

Statistics.

Room 21 had to create bar, pie and line charts about students favourite food, sport, colour, animal and T.V show. First we had to gather information to put on our survey. Then using that information we had to create tally charts. After making tally charts we made bar graphs, pie graphs and line graphs.

The most popular sport was touch. The least popular sport was rugby. The most popular animal was dog/puppy. The least popular animal was chicken.  

My Sketchup Design

This here is my sketchup design. I created it by using shapes and lines by the help of Iisa. I decieded to create a Ipad because Eden (person I am making it for) wanted one. If you don't know what it is, it is a ipad.  

Thank You Letter

Dear Parents,

I just wanted to thank you for coming on the school picnic with Class 2. Your help meant a lot. It was so important that you came if you didn't we wouldn’t have gone, so thanks. Another thing you were good at was looking after students, safety, sports, keeping an eye out and keeping us company.

If you didn’t know what we do in assembly. We just make sure all the classes are there so we can walk down altogether as a big group. We make sure that everyone has a hat, and hand out the lists/rolls.  

My favourite memory at the picnic was playing in the sand with my friend Nikita. We built a cake made out of sand but of course it was not eatable. I also liked playing volleyball with my friends. What was your favourite memory?

Thank You For You Help!

Kind Regards!

Rave from Class 2 in Room 21!
