The Rubbish Bin Legend...

Everyone. Even me knew that rubbish bin was evil and here is proof...


My name is Percy Fawcett and I tell this from up in the sky, the heavens...
          
It stared at me and I stared back. I could hear my heart pounding as I walked slowly towards the BIG GREEN BIN... I drew in my breath and held and I wrenched open its putrid jaws. This was it the moment of truth to see if the legend is true. The legend about children diapering into this terrorize monster, whenever they go to put rubbish in the bin. Everyone was there watching my CRAZY act. Slime oozed from its sides and made me cower, but I was forced to open it. All I could see was darkness and two frightful eyes staring straight back at me. There was a scream. My scream. I was being dragged down... down... down... to it's murky depths. I was practically being savaged by two frighting arms. Everything goes black. I have no idea what happened except that now my family, friends and everyone else that knew me were crying I didn't know why especially when I was there alive with wings on my back. Oh well I never really understood them and their ways.
 
My name Percy Fawcett is now in the book of History in the 'CRAZY act of bravery' department.

100 word challenge-Evette (100WC)

Little did I know that I would be taken to a concentration camp as I was dragged along the path to the train station by a police dressed in green(well that was what I thought he was). I screamed out loud to my Mum and Dad but they had been taken away.

As the train entered the tunnel I was all alone in some other world I had no idea about. I travelled for hours with people in green suits by me the whole time.

A star was pinned to my frock and it had to stay there. One morning guns shooting everywhere I was taken in behind some iron gates. My long hair was shaved and I never saw the light of day again.

As I flung my head back as I went soaring through the air like a whizzing tournado scooping up everything in its path. Then pooof. I thought it had stopped but no I was wrong as it started swirling around again. My head was dizzy with sudden suprise. My mind was lost as it started to get faster. I was lost MINDLESS.

 

Journal - One hour of my life

Journal— One hour of my life

I raced through the bush, under the electric fence into the horse paddock. Every time I do this I get REALLY dirty. Mum usually gets angry if the clothes are my jeans and a good t-shirt. I could see the horses, munching the fresh, crispy green grass. I could hear the CLIP CLOP of the horse hooves as the horses trot about. I went up to Billy Jo and felt her soft, silky coat and the tangled mane that I love to untangle and plait again and again. I walked around her keeping my hand on her back so she knows where I am.

This could be VERY DANGEROUS if you don’t know how to act around horses. She nuzzles up to me when I get back around, trapping me in her neck. I could smell the warm, grassy breath of her. I went over to Deanna. She is another horse that is with the R.D.A, she is black with a white star on her forehead. She is a beautiful mare calm and gentle I think they are very LUCKY to have her. Billy Jo came up to us, I hugged them both and they wrapped their necks around me so tight I couldn’t breathe. When they finally let go they start to look anxious. I checked my watch it was the time they usually start running about. They do this usually around the same time every day. I walked to the fence and watched them run around for a bit. It makes me feel as if I was drifting away from where I was watching

and feel like I was running free with them.

My experience at Parihaka!

!!!!!! PARIHAKA EXPERIENCE !!!!!!

I had only been awake for about 1-10 minutes when we were packed in the car ready for swimming lessons.  Mum had packed all our things we needed to go to Parihaka. Mum got me out of swimming lessons 5 minutes early so we would not be late for the Powhiri. When we got there we put on our gumboots and went to the crowd of people waiting for sign to go into the Marae.  The women/girls were in a group altogether and the men/boys surrounded them. Then there was two women that did a welcoming song to everyone. When the song finished they lined up in a line ready to the Hongi with the men. Once the men had finished the first lot of women went in they did a Hongi and then lined up next to the peron they had just done the Hongi with. Just before I had to go up mum said to go slowly so you don't bang heads and say Tēnā koe. I went up to the first person very confidently and did my VERY FIRST Hongi!!! we went all the way round the Marae doing Hongi's then stopped and finished and waited for the command E noho. We sat down on the ground and then some men started the Powhiri. It took two whole hours because they kept arguing wether it should have some in english or not. In the end it ended up all Maori. There were some waitas in between. Afterwards there was a MAGNIFICENT kai. None of the food was processed mum called 'Food from the land'. After the kai we went back into the car and went home. That was my Paihaka experience.

Room11s BIG question...

We have been thinking about this question: How can we protect and promote our unique culture in   our class room? This is room11s BIG question.

 

We talked about it in class altogether and went back to our desks and wrote down our ideas. Here are my ideas:

 

 

Classroom treaty: I think the rules on the treaty should have some Maori protocols / customs / rules and also some made up by the rm 11 students. E.G. Maori protocal Cutting flax on a diagonal.

 

Sign language: I think we should  learn sign language  because it is one of our languages. If we sign language and a visitor came to our classroom, they would understand what we are saying if they spoke a different language. To learn sign language we could go on websites, have a visitor to teach us and have sign language alphabet displayed on the wall. As we are learning sign language we could record us doing it and put the videos on the blog, so people could learn with us.

 

 

Maori greetings-Hongi-Powhiri: I think we should learn these two greetings Hongi and Powhiri and other Maori greetings so we can greet people in Maori. To learn we could go onto websites and read books to learn.

 

Visit different schools in groups of about 5-7 that are learning about 'Our Place': I think we should defintely go to different schools and see what they are doing and us some of their ideas. 

Learning about Maori language: I think each class could get a few Maori dictionaries.

Te Wera secret buddy mission...

At Frankley School the year fives and sixes have a school camp. They go to Te Wera campsite or Konini lodge. Recently room eleven went to Te Wera camp. Te Wera is past Stratford. There were lots of different activities. These are some of the activities: making eeling lines, bivouac, stretcher challenge, night line, spotlight and kayaking.

When we go there, Mrs McAllister called us into the lounge. She gave us each a piece of paper with our name on and another persons name on. The other persons name was the person you had to watch out for, think of the good things, achievements and their behavior on camp.

My secret buddy tried really hard in archery and everything else. He also was a little afraid to do the seal entry but then toughened up and did it; that was one of his achievements. He was nice he was funny and a little annoying to some people. Overall out of ten I think he got and eight out of ten.
