The rats of nimh -Abby


THE RATS OF NIMH

It was a usual Sunday,  a usual market day. The families of rats poured out to get a feast when the people left. Jenner and I stopped when we heard a jeep come along the market path, “QUICK RUN!” I yelled. “Jump into the bush”.  We were too late.

 “Got ya,” said the weird crazy capturing guy.  

 It was too late we were captured by big black men in black coats and beanies. We heard the other rats squeaking their heads off. It was so sad. We thought about Timothy, is he going to be alright?

Today was an OK day

Going to bed

‘’Time to go to bed Donna’’

‘’But a want to play p.s.p mum’’

‘’You can finish tomorrow’’

‘’Wait mum I’m saying goodnight to all the pets!”

“You can say goodnight in the morning!”

‘’Mum I hurt my leg”

 “Can I sleep on the couch tonight’’

“But you were just walking around”

‘’I just tripped over the carpet’’

‘’Oh no shall I call the ambulance and get it chopped off’’

‘’But mum’’

‘’I can’t find my pj’s’’

‘’Put a sock in your mouth and get into bed all ready’’

‘’They’re right here on the couch’’

‘’Mummy’’

‘’Yes I’m listening’’

‘’I don’t really want to go to bed because’’

‘’Spit it out’’

‘’There’s a weta in my bed and mummy I’m scared of wetas’’

‘’I’m sure I can get that out there darling’’

‘’Thank you mum;

I love you goodnight’’.

How can we protect and promote our culture


Thursday 9th may

How can we protect and promote our unique Maori culture in our classroom?  Look at some of the ideas we brain dumped.

 

Sign language

v We could go onto a website that is to do with sign language.

v Learn sign language form an expert.

 

Classroom treaty

v We could take a tick off the persons table if they sit on a table, touch the top of somebody’s head or talk over top of somebody when they’re talking.

v Don’t bully or gang up on kids.

v Help kids if hurt on playground or anywhere.

 

 

Greetings – Hongi

v Maybe if someone special comes to our school like a guest we could do a Hongi or a greeting maybe we could do both.

v Have a first session of greetings in the morning at school like a class.

How tigers got stripes myth By Abby


How tigers got stripes

Long ago Lula, the tiger began to feel itchy because she lived in a bug infested jungle. The bugs were biting her while she was sleeping. She woke up and there were all these little holes on her back. They were swollen, itchy bites.


The itchiness made her start rubbing her back against everything. She began to wonder what was happening to her, because she was getting all these black dots on her back. Very slowly, they started to turn into little lines! She got worried. She went to see Dr. Mongoose and he looked very bewildered. “Some of the black lines are smaller than others” Dr. Mongoose told Lula.

She was getting increasingly worried as the black lines grew faster and faster, bigger and bigger, while Dr. Mongoose was explaining about it.


Dr. Mongoose gave Lula some magic potion to stop the stripes before they covered her whole, entire body. After a couple of minutes the stripes stopped. Lula was pleased that they had stopped. It started to happen to all the other tigers. Dr. Mongoose was busy making blue magic potion bottles.  If Dr. Mongoose wasn’t there, every single Tiger would have turned into a black pouncing Panther.

That’s how Tigers got stripes.

Spotlight - written by Abby - put on the blog by Mrs McA!


Spotlight
“Are we going the right way” I ask, “saying isn’t this the wasp way?” 

"No, it’s not,” says Rusty for the 15,000th time “it’s the same way as we came
up”. 

We saw the spotlight people shining their lights trying to find the
kids. Gregor starts pretending to be a gorilla. Everybody including me are
making more noises.

 “Ahh”!! I said in a frightened way. "Don’t do that," I
said to Rusty. I was at the back of the line and so was rusty. He frightened
me. We finally got to the bottom. 

“Wait at the stairs please” saying Miss Keenan in her Irish accent. We looked at each other.
 “Ehh” we said. We kept running. Let's start.

 We went the wrong way instead of going over the
gate. Isla, Shikain, Isaac, Evette and I climbed up a little hill and over
an electric fence (but don’t worry it wasn’t on). We carried on. 

Bridget
(Jacob fletcher’s mum) said to another adult “I don’t think they were
allowed to go that way” I heard them but I didn’t say anything. I started
to play the game. I was crawling along the ground like a lion spying on an
elephant and about to pounce on it.

 “Down!!” I say to myself as Mrs McA shined the light on me. I finally caught up with someone… hunter and
patch. They were going to stay there but they decided not to.

 “Eww,” Hunter said. “I just put my arm on sheep poo”. 

“Down” we say to each other,

 “oh poo” Evette said. “I’ve been spotted”. 

I hear Mrs McA say to Evette “is that EVETTE”. Ouches! I put my hand on a bunch of prickles.

 “We’re nearly at the top” patch said. I repeated. We got up to the steep, steep bit of
the hill. Is this the top have we made it or do we walk to Mrs McA? She
shouted out just come to me now since you’ve made it to the top. Just come
to me now and wait here quietly. We meet Kieran, Billie k and someone
else. I can’t remember who it was but we made it to the top without being
spotted. We sit down. It was about quarter to ten by then. Some other kids
came up after we finished. I ran down the hill like a cheetah chasing its
predator. This time I went out the right way. That was fun I was saying to
myself. We get back. 

There was a movie on for the people who didn’t play
spotlight. The movie was ratatouille there was drink and bikkies for
supper as usual. We watched it for a few minutes. 

“Bed time” says Mrs McA, we paused the movie and then she stopped it after we left. We all went to
bed. Oh mummy’s not here to give me my goodnight hug so I say goodnight to
mum and dad in my head and then I say goodnight to my roommates and say to
them “that was a fun night!”
