Te Puawai Camp

Last week we went to camp. On Thursday we went on a hikoi. We climbed over rock and we finally we got to the beach.All of us went through a cave full of water.It was cold but it got warmer as we went through it more.Then Sir said there was going to be a bomb competition.I went and it was a bit scary but I tried. It was fun but scary.  That's what I enjoyed the most.

Prototype

WALT: Design and create a hydroponic system

What was your favorite part why?

I like the part when I was gluing it together because it was just like I was building something.

What I could have done better why? 

I could have done it neater because it was a bit wonky

  

What I found difficult why? 

I found it difficult putting the pipes on the design because the pipes weren’t sticking on

What I could have done better why?

I could have done better by putting the pipes straighter because  it was not standing up properly.

What do you think about my work?

What did you like about my writing?

Hydroponic Prototype

WALT:Make a Hydroponic prototype.

Why did you choose this design?

I chose this design because it was different and interesting. It’s easy to water and the rain can water it too. The rain can water it because it goes through the front. The back is a hard timber back so when it rains it doesn't go through the back. The plants are in a position where the sun can shine on them easily. A plant does a thing called photosynthesis, it make its own food from the sun and water.

Equipment list:

Timber, plants, water, jars.

Spinning chair

Spinning chair





Today Te puawai and Te kauru went to the science roadshow.My favourite part was when I got to sit on the spinning chair.The guy gave me two weights.Then he spun the chair a little.He told me how to pick up speed and how to slow down.To speed up you have to tuck in your legs and to slow down you open your legs and put your arms out.

The Seven Sisters of Matariki

The Seven Sisters of Matariki

There was a young man named Mitai. He had seven older brothers. They all lived in a small village called Mangamuka. Mitai’s brothers were Collin, Kevin, John, DJ Khaled, Timo and Simo. They were all handsome men. One morning the seven brothers went hunting on the Paparore hills. Once they got there they heard beautiful singing. They followed the sound and saw seven pretty women. The seven brothers took them back to Mangamuka to make them their wives. Mitai didn’t like his brothers wives. ”They will do nothing but comb their golden hair’’! One day the seven sisters went out, so Mitai Followed them. Mitai turned into a Kereru and listened to their plan to starve the brothers to death. Mitai went to warn them. He said, “my brothers you used to be big and strong, now look at yourselves. You are nothing but skin and bone!” The oldest brother, Collin said, “what do we do?” “We must go to Te Rawhara!’’ replied Mitai. Te Rawhara gave them a magic net to trap the wahine. So the seven brothers snuck up on their wives and they threw the net over them. They were begging for their husbands to release them. Mitai turned into an Albatross and took them to the God of the stars. He asked her to send them far, far from the Earth. Once a year she lets them shine bright.

Hydroponics

WALT: We are learning to show somebody how to do hydroponics

You need for a sphagnum hydroponic setup is some sphagnum moss a drill plant nutrient rich water plastics bottles a box cuttter

Then get your box cutter and cut a hole in the that’s big enough to fit the yogurt container on top

Then cut 7 holes at the bottom of the yogurt container then put it on top of the bottle if you have to cut the hole bigger

When your done that you add some sphagnum moss then you get your plant and put on the side so the roots can hang out

Once done you pour some nutrient rich water until it reaches the base of the container and that how you make a shanum hydroponic setup By Kaia

WALT:Write a short story


Today we went to a role model assembly. My favourite part was when Riqi blew the Pumoana which is a shell. Way back 200 years ago they used the Pumoana to say that someone special was coming.That was cool!

Man that was cool!

I have eleven people in my family. They live in Tokoroa and Auckland. I love my family so much that I want to live with them. They have a basketball hoop at their house. I was born 2009 on November the 26th in Auckland. My friends are Kalani, Aurora and Cage. My cousins are Mason, Taki, Letong Hamia and Mahlia. All of my cousins are younger than me. The youngest is Mahlia. She is 13 or 12 months old.She is cute too. I love my family. When I go to School I get to play a lot inside and outside. When the bell rings I go into class. I love going to school. On the bus we are not allowed to talk but people still talk and the bus driver always growls us. I like to do horse riding because it's fun and cool. That’s all about me!
