Jake Bailey

Today Jake bealy came to are school and talked to as. Jake Bailey is a survivor 

of bichette non hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. He is a very inspirational person he talked about his
struggles with cancer and how he wasn’t expected to live.  He did how once he had to stay in the
hospital room for 52 days straight. 

One thing he talked a lot about is happiness and resilience. How you need to be resilient in life be
resilient in life and when you get pushed down just get back up again. He also talked a lot about
happiness and how happiness is a skill that you learn and that you need to practice it to master
and keep it going so that you can stay in a happy state of mind.      

Another thing that was so incredible about his journey is how brave he was he hat to go through
a lot of very panfil presiges. The fiar that you are going to die is a  very scary thing that got really close
to Jake in his talk he said about even though everyone said he was brave he was confused because
he felt scared inside. He said that bravery is not a thing you feel it’s a thing that you do and is a thing that
is easy to fake. Real bravery is that evan when you are scared you keep going fired and doing stuff.

The last thing he said was to go away and do what you want in life.
Follow your dreams but not only for yourself do it for everyone with cancer who didn’t get the chance.

Māui And Tamanuiterā

In the first part of this story the villages are upset because
Tamanuiterā moved across the sky too fast and no one had enough time to do all the things
they needed to do. Then Māui said to his four brothers,”I shall slow Tamanuiterā,”
but his brothers just laughed at him.

In the second part of the story Māui and his brothers are making ropes then
Māui tells them to go to bed and Māui joins all the ropes together into  a big net.
He chants a karakia to make the net as strong as a thousand men.

In the third part of this story Māui and his brothers are walking to Tamanuiterā.
They get there just as Tamanuiterā is rising. So they throw the net over Tamanuiterā
and then Māui starts to hit Tamanuiterā. He hits the sun  until Tamanuiterā agrees to slow down.

The end

When our group worked on the play Māui and the sun I played the sun.
One thing I really enjoyed was working together and making props.
I think one thing we did really well was learning our lines.
As a team we got our play to performance level and participated and contributed because
we all did our bit. Our performance did well because we practiced.
Next time we could listen to everyone and  be a bit easier on people.

Robot Rampage

In are class we has been learning about narrative writing. We used a story starter the link is below. I hope you enjoy my writing about a mad robot.

http://success-for-boys.tki.org.nz/Teaching-learning-resources/Story-Starters/Runaway-Robot-Rampage

Here is my story

In the weekend there was one thing Brighid absolutely hated. Her brother Fionn bossing her around. She wished she could just lock herself up in the shed working on her latest robot invention. That was it! What if Brighid could build a robot to stop Fionn from bossing her around!

Fionn and Brighid’s parents were teachers and spent their whole weekends  marking work and attending meetings.  Fionn loved taking advantage of this so he called it ‘Fionn incharge time’ and he bossed Brighid around for hours on end.  If Brighid could build a robot to stop Fionn from bossing her around, then she could finally get some time to play without having to do Fionn's laundry.

Brighid was building in the shed all night then suddenly

“presenting the no boss robot din din di din,” she exclaimed with delight she was finally done. My brother was as bossy as a horse, but finally she was a free women!

Brighid wheeled the robot upstairs and stopped outside Fionn’s room she was about to knock on the door when a voice said “Brighid is that you” Brighid went back in shock “Fionn” she said nervously. “Now”,Fionn said,“scrub the dishes I want to see my reflection in them, you also need to mow the lawns, do the laundry,clean the house and make the beds. “Okay is that everything”?  She said as she left  the room. “O Brighid”he said  I want chicken for dinner. Brighid was about to walk out of the room when she remembered something “no”she said  “wwhhaatt” said Fionn “may I remind you that while mum and dad are at work I am incharge so you do what I say, so go and do you chores”. Beeb beeb beeb eek eek  beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb      eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek  I am the NO BOSS ROBOT and you shall not boss around your favorite sister or you shall die! He said holding up a chainsaw and smiling an evil mimingo ngā pāpāringa(smile).Fionn quivered back in fear “oookkaayyyyy” he quivered. “Got to stop people from bossing people”,said the keretao (robot) disappearing at the speed of light. So Brighid and Fionn decided to watch some tv. The news channel flashed on  “people all over the world are dying just because they are telling people what to do,god help me”said the news man running off stage. “In other news the world's population of anzac poppies are dropping like flies”said the news woman enthusiastically. “Okay”,said Brighid, “there's only one thing to do now” “yes” said Fionn “hide”they said together running to the supply closet.

From inside they heard the keretao(robot)trudging up the stairs “now my task is to destroy Fionn”,said the keretao(robot)“need more anzac poppiezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz”  “nows our chance”,said Fionn  “lets do it”, said Brighid,  smash, bang, clatter and then they were done. The robot was destroyed and Brighid and Fionn just carried on arguing.
