Rescue Mission Ōnawe Pa!

Hello everyone. How are you? This week for maths we had to make a map and find Christchurch City Central, Ōnawe Pa and Kaiapoi Pa. We also had to measure the distance from the Kaiapoi Pa to Christchurch City Central, to the Ōnawe Pa. Here is a screenshot of my map measuring. 

The distance from Kaiapoi Pa to Ōnawe Pa is 70.2km. 

The coordinates for the Kaiapoi Pa is 43.225 south, and 172.392 east. For the Ōnawe Pa it is 43.774 south, and 172.925 east.

The reason the distance is so long is because we had to go through Christchurch City Central. We also had to make it realistic, so we couldn´t be floating through the water the whole time, or climbing up and down mountains and then going through water. 

The next thing we had to do was look at a map around Christchurch and try and figure out the coordinates to places. Miss Henderson gave us a location and we had to find it and then figure out the coordinates. I worked with Tash, make sure you check out her blog too!

Thank you for reading my blog. 

Have you ever visited a Pa before?

moving into Kaupeka (year 7 - 8)

 Moving into Kaupeka

hi guys! This year I moved into year seven. Now I am a real senior. I am in a new hub and I have never been in this hub before so it was rather scary. I am going to tell you how I got ready for school and how kaupeka is going so far. 

So on the first day of school I woke up at 6:09 A.M on the dot. I woke up and realized it was the first day of school. I opened my eyes as soon as I woke up. I sprung out of bed and woke up my twin sister. I then ran out to the kitchen and started to make my peanut butter bread. After I ate my peanut butter bread, I ran to my phone and got Clock set up. I sprinted to the bathroom and started my timer for 2 minutes. I brushed my teeth so hard because I wanted my breath to smell nice. Now the time was 6:14 I think. Then I got some spearmint flavored gum to make my breath smell even better. After that I got changed into my school uniform and I was vibing to Ariana Grande. After I got changed, I ran out to the kitchen to make my lunch. Now the time was 6:30. I made my lunch by about 6:45. Then my dad woke up. I was really anxious about going to school. I really didn't want to go. I could play on my phone until mom woke up. Mom woke up at around 7:30. I took the dog around the block and then I went right back on my phone. We left at around 8:00. I was so nervous.

In kaupeka, there is way more work than i expected. I usually can't finish my work by the end of the week.

pā week! :-)

hello everyone! this week at school it was pā week. you might be wondering what a pā is. a pā is a village type thing that your tribe lives in. it can also be a house. it is kind of like a fighting arena. 

we had to make an advertisement for a pā, like a home. here's my advertisement :). i also had to make a second advertisement with my buddy, Mimi.

i hope you enjoyed my ads.  

i have also completed my own pā. i did it with my friend Mimi. make sure you check out her blog too! we made views from the top and the side for extra detail and so it makes more sense.

we hope you liked our pā.

it was really hard to create the pā from the top. we had to add a lot of detail. i created the pā from the side on my own. i struggled at first, but then i got the hang of it. 

thanks so much for reading my blog.

The Mirror That Takes Us Back...

Hello! This week for writing i had to make a narrative. Our learning goal is: use a range of written features to engage the audience.

We had a selection of stories to write. Here are the links to the stories:

The Mirror In The Attic, Left Behind, Lightning Never Strikes Twice, Creature From The Deep.

Here is my narrative for this week:

The Mirror That Takes Us Back

It was the evening, just after dinner and Kate and Jess were going to their hideout in the attic. They dashed up the stairs and ran to their corner. Their attic was huge! Kate walked over to a corner and found a weird looking mirror. She called Jess over. They investigated it together. The floor had a thick layer of dust and the mirror had not one bit of dust. Not one tiny itty bitty piece of dust had landed on it. Hm, weird Jess thought to herself. 

Kate had an obsession of touching stuff when she was curious. So she touched the mirror. Then she got teleported to a new world. Then Jess touched the mirror and got teleported to the same world that Kate teleported to. 

Kate and Jess watch movies from the eighteen forties, and it looked like they were actually in the eighteen forties. Kate and Jess were stuck in the eighteen forties. They had to find a place to stay for the night. They tried calling their family but did they have phones in the eighteen forties? No. 

The girls walked around the neighborhood and found a shop. They realized, maybe they could go back to where they teleported and see if the mirror was there. There was no mirror It started getting dark and the city didn't have many houses. The girls gathered some wood from underneath a tree and made a tree house. That house broke. They decided to stay in a barn for the night. 

The next morning, the girls went to look around. After 3 hours of searching for a mirror, they found it. In a ditch. They kicked the mirror gently, at the same time and teleported back to their own world. Their parents were worried sick about them.

The End

i hope you liked my narrative. I had a limit of words, and that limit was 250 - 300 words. 

I hope you liked my blog and see you next time!

Did you like my narrative?

If you had to write a narrative out of the selections, what one would it be?

3. The Closing

EG: It’s like, ‘Thank you, have a great day/sleep/night/morning!’
