My "Trip Up North" Poem

This morning we had to do poetry and we got to choose a subject and then write a 40 sentence poem about it!! It was really challenging to find words to rhyme so some bits probably don't make much sense but it doesn't matter. My subject is about when I go Up North around Kaitaia and all my family and friends get together and we have lots of fun. We had to do 20 lines and 2 sentences in each but I got to do 15 lines because I was taking to long. Each sentence has a really big story behind it and each one means heaps to me. I enjoyed bringing back some great memories and I probably could have been better by taking a little bit longer to get better words. We also had to add the word My in front of everything so yeah.

 

My socializing. My sitting and crying.

My drinking smoothies. My watching movies.

My swimming in the Harbour. My skin feeling like lava.

My catching the biggest wave. My diving for kina and being brave.

My driving on the beach. My getting spoiled with treats.

My eating lots of food. My "How very rude!!"

My going to the park. My flounder hunting in the dark.

My biking everywhere. My family lives so near.

My "It's not my fault I'm so beautiful." My jumping off the waterfall.

My Jet-Skiing in the ocean. My doing bike jumps in slow motion.

My family having so much fun. My trying to get the motorbike to run.

My playing king of the mountain. My swimming in the fountain.

My playing with my friends. My driving fast around all the bends.

My great Grandad is really nice. My "I hope I don't get lice."

My fishing off the wharf. My amazing trip Up North

Matariki quiz

For literacy medals today we had to write down three things that we learnt from a Matariki quiz. It was really hard because it's just so confusing for me but yea. I enjoyed taking the quiz cause it was pretty fun. I could have probably been better by adding more writing and information but anyway byyeeee. Peace out *Drop The Mic*

1. Matariki signals the Maori New Year. Its a time for Celebration and renewal in New Zealand and it begins with the rising of stars/ the 7 sisters of Matariki.

2. Matariki is a star cluster, not a constellation. A constellation is stars that form a shape but a cluster is a group of stars that are really close together.

3. In New Zealand people come together to celebrate by eating, singing Waitas, telling stories, playing music and remembering our ancestors.

What I would spend my money on if I won the lotto!!

This week for Literacy medals we had to do a blog contract so basically just anything on this slide show thing. I chose to do If I won the lotto what would I do with the money so I hope you love it. Oh and also I liked the writing bit I was challenged by the writing bit and I could be better by writing more.


This is my verrryyyyyy important opinion about the lotto!! If I won the lotto I would be so so so sooooo happy because I have no money and I'm dying. Jk but I still don't have money. I would firstly spend the money on my Mum and Dad's bills because I'm definitely the favorite child and no one else would do that. Then I would go to the warehouse and get lots of stuff from there and then I would go to Countdown and get a lot of food there, stuff like Whipped cream, beef jerky, watermelon, lollies, chocolate, and heaappppssssss more. After that I would probably remember to put money in my savings for college and then my siblings would start crying cause I wouldn't share so I would give them 100 dollars each and that's it. Then I would go buy stuff from the surf shop like shoes, surfboards, skateboards and stuff. And then I'd go home and sleep. And then in the morning, I'd give my Mum and Dad half the money and me the other half because I would feel like a spoiled brat. The end thank you for reading the amazing Bella The Best's blog post. Peace out *Drop the mic*

Perimeter word problems

For this week's maths, we had to answer questions in our book. Up above is just an example of 3 of the questions but altogether there was 20. We had to answer questions based on kilometres, centimetres, metres and that kinda stuff. It was pretty easy but some things were really hard. I enjoyed marking it and I could be better by making it more visible. K byyeeee.

Puanga Kai Rau

Today for literacy medals we had to read a story about Puanga Kai Rau. It was very interesting and cool and it would be lots of fun. They celebrate Puanga Kai Rau as a Maori New Year because they can't see the Matariki stars in Taranaki. I found it challenging to find out some of the answers to the questions. I enjoyed looking for the fonts. I could be better by adding more words to the answers. K byyyeeeeee.

My possum picture

Today we learnt all about possums and how they are bad for our country and how they are very big pests so we made a perfect habitat for possums!! We know that they love valuable eggs and lots of birds and bugs and berries so I knew that the forest was, of course, the best setting. I really enjoyed drawing the picture even though it's not the best. It was a bit rushed so I think next time I should take my time and slow down a bit. I found it hard to find good colours for my drawing. Byyeee

New Zealand Quiz

Today since it's Friday we have to do something off our blog contract. Our blog contract is basically a big drawing with lots of suggestions on stuff we can do so today I chose a quiz! I made it about Nz because I really like New Zealand and the environment so yea. I found it challenging to think up lots of questions. I enjoyed finding all the pictures. I could be BTB (Better Than Before) by maybe adding a couple more slides.
Stay safe and well.
