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!!

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!!

My Pepeha

My blog post link

In Te Ngahere we have been learning How to explain and introduce our family in our pepeha.
We have been writing down our pepeha and then trying to say them. I have made a slideshow
with my pepeha on it.
A pepeha is where you introduce your family and where your from. Mine went like this. 1. Maunga
(Mountain) 2. Awa (River) 3. Kura (School)4. Kuia & Koro (Nanna & Grandad) 5. Mama & Papa (Mum & Dad)
6. Siblings and then the oldest sibling at the end. It was really hard making it but the hardest bit was

memorising it so I think that i’m gonna have to keep going on that one. hope you like my slideshow!

Coopers beach

Ghost ( unabridged )

In Te Maunga we were listening to this book called "Ghost" Whaea becks told us that we had to write an idea of what would happen in the next book because the book ended with a cliffhanger! ( a cliffhanger is where a story ends with one word like BOOM... ) Here is my writing

Boom!!! I zoomed off like a “LIGHTNING BOLT!!”I was so distracted in winning that I didn’t realize that I was ahead of everyone! I could here my Mum yelling, “Come on ghost & you can do this!!” And I COULD do this!!”
I could see my Aunt Sophey nearly screaming her head off!! “COME ON CASTLE GO GO GO!!!!!!” And my cousin king holding up a sign that said “Castle Cranshaw ain’t no JOKE” But the only person I couldn’t see was Coach. I searched everywhere around me but no luck then everything started to go downhill! I started to fall back behind everyone and slow down and then it hit me, I was running and then I tripped over a rock, A ROCK!!Then the race finished and i came in second, so not bad for someone who lives on Glass Manor, Then something surprised me Brandon the first place winner gave me his GOLD medal!! ( Witch I nearly had a heart attack from )And it was then that it happened, Brandon yelled THIS BOY STOLE MY MEDAL, but everyone knew he was lying because they knew he gave it to me so i just rolled my eyes and threw the medal on the ground, because who needs a silly old medal? After a ruff day I finally found coach in his cab looking at a photo, ( the photo that I found in the boot when I was cleaning his cab ) and he was crying, Ghost, do you ever miss your father? He sobbed. “Sometimes,” I replied. Well I do, he whispered and maybe I could sometimes visit his grave and you could come with me. And that’s when I bolted, I didn’t wanna go to some persons grave I don’t really even know, do you? Well i just ran until my legs couldn’t run no more. I finally got to Mr Charles store and got some seeds and waited...

Waited is the last word for mine and it is a cliffhanger!!
