Gisborne herald interview & strike action

On wednesday, the teachers all around New Zealand took action and had a huge mega strike all around the country. Me,  my mum and my sister Amelia went to support the teachers at the Gray St roundabout. It was my first protest and it was really fun. I even got interviewed by the Gisborne herald while I was there. I lead the improvised molenberg chant with koka Sue. About 70% of the cars beeped at us for support. I had a sign and a star shaped rattle to hold and shake. We were only there for about half an hour but it was really fun. I think that the teachers deserve more pay and better conditions. Here is a picture of me:

ESCAPE FROM KRAZNIR!!!!

Since last term, early level 4 writing group have been doing this writing task called escape from Kraznir. It's really cool because it is set around about the middle ages. It's really fun because it is just like being a dungeon master in Dungeons and Dragons ( that's a really fun game you should totally  check it out). It's about a band of spies from the land of Slinsil (a peaceful, rich, and beautiful country) in the country of Kraznir (an evil, warlike country) to steal their secret battle plans. It's so fun to write about fantasy and fantasy is really awesome. You have to escape from the evil clutches of king Krill and get back to Slinsil no matter the danger.

Wheels day friday!!!!!!!

Last friday the whole class went up to the four new pou opposite Heath Johnson park. I had to bike all the way from Grant rd to wainui. (and that is quite a long way but I have done it before). I was at the back and the teachers called me tailing Charlie (or something like that) and I was that both figuratively and literally because I was literally tailing my friend Charlie. It was really interesting to learn about the four pou because It was closely related to my teacher koka Terri because her family had owned land up on the hill so when the road up there was created their family designed and made the pou and a carving on the walkway. Buried under on of the pou are some rocks from the country Israel because Israel is a very religious country and the pou it was buried under meant to follow your beliefs. it was fun riding there and there wasn't much wind so it was good. please leave a comment.
This is the route from home to school:                                                 and this is from Wainui to the pou:

SHINE cards

So sorry, last post I forgot to tell you what shine cards are.  So this post will be about telling you what shine cards actually are. So here we go. SHINE cards are cards that you get if you are showing the school values of respect, responsibility, and resilience by sitting up in assembly and singing, singing well at singing, not being distracted by the person next to you and lots more. And part of my job as house captain is to look for people who are doing those things. Its really cool to be able to hand out SHINE cards to the people who are standing out from the rest. Thanks to koka Ngaire for suggesting this post. Please leave a comment.
