Bay Bush Action

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about Te Ngahere. (The Bush) Two people named Stella & Brad
came into our class and talked to us about Bay Bush Action. They brought in some stuffed animals and
rats. Stella & Brad let our class place rat traps around the school. After all that Saffyre said thank you on
behalf of Te Ngahere then they left.

It was fun having them in Te Ngahere and I hope they come back soon.

Our goal this year is to be the first rat free school in New Zealand!!

Here are some photos

Room Writing

In Te Ngahere we had to write a story about a room. I wrote 2 of them and My First one is called Abandoned War Here it is
(My Mum said I might be the next Stephen King)

Abandoned War

Dusty dirty boards.

Covering the windows.

The scream of a little girl.

Like someone getting shredded

Flickering chandelier.

Giving out creepy shadows

The smell of rat dung.

Super stinky

Stuck in an abandoned apartment

The creaky elevator creepily putting on music.

Every 5 minutes

Hoping that someone will save me.

Look out the window and there it is

A war going on through the darkness

Tnt blowing up houses.

Townspeople being taken as hostages

Tanks rolling over cars.

Destroying hundreds of buildings

This one next.

Falling down to the ground from the window.

Dead

The crying of people.

Just seeing the dark lid on the coffin

My funeral.

Floating away from earth

Seeing heaven.

Landing on the cloud

Seeing long lost ancestors.

The smile on my face

Looking out for the children of earth.

Loving every single one of them

By Jack Andrews

This is my second one

Abandoned Lab

Dusty dirty boards.

Covering the windows.

The scream of a little girl.

Like someone getting shredded

Flickering chandelier.

Giving out creepy shadows

The smell of rat dung.

Super stinky

The creaky elevator creepily putting on music.

Every 5 minutes

The cackle of a mad scientist

Falling through a hole in the floor

Landing in a transparent tube

Broken glasses

Different coloured liquid

Lab coats

Marble floor

Very dusty computer

Protective goggles

Door opening

Sound of a phone hanging up

Old man walking into the room

Wrinkled eyes

Revolting lab coat

Cracked safety goggles

Sand

Suffocating

Dead

Moment in Time

In Te Ngahere we have been doing descriptive writing. We had to paint a picture in the reader's mind
while explaining Te Ngahere. If the link doesn’t work then you can just read it down below.

Lush green leaves shine like emeralds peeking out of the ground, Pure blue sky like a sea full of giant
White whales, Beautiful birds singing soft lullabies!!

The forest is one great and spectacular place for everyone to share! In some forests like the Botanical
Gardens in Taupo people hide painted rocks for other people to find but some say that you’re only
allowed to take 2 rocks per person. In lots of forests people also gather around and plant new trees
and bushes.

If the world didn’t have forests people couldn’t live because people need air and trees produce a
lot of it. The forest is an Important gem and people can easily smash that gem so people have to
be very careful when they go into our beloved forests!!

I think that I could have done well by making it better and that’s what i’ll do next time.

Hope you liked it!!

P.S if the link doesn’t work please leave a comment to let me know.

Metaphor poem

Link

On Monday March the 26th Te Ngahere started writing poem drafts about ourselves. We weren’t allowed to use because and like because it was a poem not a piece of random writing. We were using metaphors to explain our poems. I think on my new published poem I could make it better and add more detail. If you have anything to ask me about my poem just put a comment down below and i’ll be sure to get back to you as soon as I can.

Here's my poem

Jack is…

Jack is a Minecraft character creating his spectacular world in any way he can

Jack is a Chest opening up to store new Info

Jack is a tiny little pohutukawa shrub seeking knowledge from the other elegant trees

Jack is a special pasta, delicious and strange

Jack is a charming shapeshifter always ready to take a new form

Food chains

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about food chains. We had to create an animation about the
food chain we picked. I chose a marine food chain starting with a fish swimming around then with
a shark eating the fish, then a whale came along and ate the shark! The last part of it is when the
whale dies and it’s body gets eaten by bacteria and the bacteria swims away. In my animation a
penguin named Pengu is narrating the story and he tells what’s happening in the food chain. I think
I did well and I hope you like my animation!!
