On Tuesday Room 6 had to register to the summer learning journey and then we had to do the first activity. We had to make our own superhero with google drawing, kleki or Crayon but I chose kleki. I had to search up of what superhero I wanted to trace and colour it in.
here is my superhero whose name is called hero boy
Today we were learning to observe pictures to decide whether they are real or a photo shot like this one up here.
This photo was interesting because this turtle had long legs at the back. and also turtles can not jump that high.
and the really interesting thing that got my attention was the turtle that was catching a Frisbee like a dog
I would recommend
the happiness infection @ glen innes school because they are so hilarious and they made me laugh at their video.
Yesterday, room 6 children went to visit the cottage opposite St Patrick’s School at 10.00 sharp. When we got to the cottage there were two people there, Terry and Patrick who were going to show us around the cottage.
The first room in the cottage was the living room or the parlour which is what it was called a long time ago. Terry said that visitors would come to that room. The men liked to drink their tea in that room and we saw old pictures of the old streets of Panmure on the walls.
After that we went to the bedroom where the parents used to sleep, and then Terry said that there was a potty that the people used as a toilet. Then Terry showed us some clothes that the women used to wear which were pantaloons or undies! We also saw old dolls which were about 100yrs old.
Later we went to the kitchen where the mum used to cook the food. They also planted sweet potatoes or kumara in the backyard. We also saw a frame with a lot of men in the photo with mustaches surrounded by lots of fragile plates and cups.
Then Patrick showed us what the kids used to play with. They were called stilts. Stilts where what kids try to stand on in the olden days and they looked like they were really fun. Then after that Patrick led us upstairs to two more rooms, one with artifacts in it and the other a bedroom for the children.
I really enjoyed our outing across the road because there were so many old items to look at that I have never heard on or even seen before. It was great.
Papatuanuku and Ranginui were surrounded in darkness crouched together with their children between them.
They were annoyed and irritated with living this way and they began to wonder what could be done. Tumatauenga, the god of war suggested to beat their parents to death however tane mahuta wanted to separate Ranginui to the sky and Papatuanuku to the earth. Tane prepared himself by lying flat on his back. He stretched his legs above forcing his father up into the sky to stay there forever. When their parents were separated they saw a glimmer of light appear and in no time the world was visible.
Tawhirimatea the god of wind was angry and he pulled out his eyes as a symbol of his love and hurt throwing them into the milky way above. To this day Tawhirimatea the blind and unseeing god, moves around New Zealand blowing his anger wherever he moves.
This is my Matariki star I wove using wool and a circular piece of cardboard.and It was so fun.
Last week Mrs Grant taught us how to send an email to someone.
We had to greet them so they know who you are
keep to the subject so we can stay on track on what we are talking about.
We must be positive and helpful too and proofread so your writing makes sense.

Yesterday on Tuesday Mr Bell set up a ki o’rahi tournament. We had to be in our house teams which are Rimu, Rata, Totara and Kauri. I was in the kauri team. There were 6 rounds and first was kauri vs rata and my old coach, coach Trey was the referee. He told each team the rules of the ki o’rahi game. There has to be two guardians to protect the tupu – tupu means the rock and two teams are called Taniwha and Komai. I was not playing in the first game but at least my other team mates got to go. So after coach Trey said the rules to each team they were getting ready to play ki o’rahi each team were doing so great me and Theo were cheering so loudly. We were doing the Russian dance for the kauri team. After the first game it was time for the second round until all the teams had played one another. After we had finished the game the ref counted the points and the Kauri team won. We all jumped up and shouted ‘hooray.’ Then after that Mr Bell told the house teams to come to the canopy so Coach Trey could give fake money to my brother and his team.out of his pocket.
Today we were learning to create a respectful,responsible and positive digital footprint . we need to stop and think before we share online. If we are not sure we can ask a parent orn a teacher.
