Tautoro School

Why I love Tautoro School.
I love Tautoro School because you can do lots of things like dancing with Whaea Dorothy and playing sports with Master Matt. The sports we play is rippa rugby, touch rugby, soccer, basketball and hockey. We grow our seeds with Whaea Hera. Our seeds grow and grow and grow. Our plants grow from seed to feed. This school is the best school in the world. It’s like we are the winners out of the whole wide world because we get to learn on our chromebooks. It is fun learning on our chromebook. When I write with a pencil I get too tired but when I write using my chromebook I don’t get tired at all.            
So that's why I think Tautoro School is the best school.

Recount Writing: At the Market day

I am learning to use the correct structure for recount writing.

At the Market day

On Friday me and my family went to the Market day at school. It was so so cool. Firstly when we got there we went to get our tickets from Whaea Stacey. Then I went to play on the park. When I got to the park I saw Zion. I asked if he wanted to play tag. He said, “Yes.” Then I said, “You're in.” When I ran, I ran as fast as a race car but Zion tagged me. Then some other kids wanted to play. I said yes but when we played Zion was just too fast. The kids that played were Tarihe Whetu, Zion and Armani.

When we finished playing we stopped and then we went to have a drink of L&P. It was so tasty. After that we had a kai. We had a fried bread with chocolate on top and candy floss and a toffee apple. Then me and my family went home.

Seed to feed

When we first started growing our plants we grew them from seeds. The rain started to pour. That’s what made our plants grow and when the sun came out it took the water down to the soil.

We are growing tomatoes. We are growing corn and squash. We are growing courgettes and silverbeet and sunflowers and Bok choy and kale and purple tansy. That is all of the plants that we have grown this term.

I feel super proud of our class because we grew our plants from seeds.  Our class didn’t think that we could grow plants from seeds. Whaea Hera showed us how to grow plants from seeds. It has taken us about 9 weeks to grow our plants to sell.
Here is a picture of some of our plants.   

Bullying Blue Birds

8.11.17

Dear Bluebirds,

Bullying is not ok.

Firstly, I think being a bully is not the right thing to do because I know you won’t like it if Big Bird did that to you. Feelings get hurt. So you should not be mean.

Secondly I think you should not be a bully because he might do something for you like might want to be you friend.

Another reason  why I think you should not be a bully is because you would be a bucket dipper.  That means you are taking good things out of Big Bird’s bucket instead of putting them in.

Lastly why I think you should not be a bully is because you would have no friends.  No one will want to play with you.

So that's why I think you should not be a bully. Be a good friend instead.

Yours sincerely

Jahvis

Catching tuna.

On a beautiful night I went to catch tuna with my family

at the creek by the Tarzan swing. When we got there we set some lines and had a kai. I felt excited.

Then we heard a noise coming from the creek. I blazed with the torch to see if it was a tuna. It was a tuna. It was as long as a giraffe's neck. I smacked it with a stick two times on the head. Then we put it in the bag. I felt amazed at myself for catching a big tuna. We caught 4 tuna.

Then we went home to eat them. We put them straight on the fire. They tasted good.

It was an amazing night. I love going to catch tuna.
