Kia ora koutou whanau!

We made superheroes for New Zealand. I made a natural superhero.

Based on the variety of plants in New Zealand.

Haere ma!

 

Cat simile poetry

Kia ora!

I made a simile poetry piece based on cats.

Here it is:

    Cats

Like a ninja, sneaking stealthily and slinking through the night.

Like an assassin, ready to kill on sight It’s unsuspecting prey.

As ready as a soldier when going to a fight.

As agile as a ninja, to his enemies dismay.

Like a ninja standing firm, nearly purrfect balance.

As fast as a pelican, at 30 mph speed.

Paws as soft as wool, when he walks, there is but silence.

Like an assassin or a ninja, a formidable foe indeed.

I hope you liked my poem.

haere ra!

animal poem (macaw)

こんにちは
(hello in Japanese)
I have made an information report about macaws.
The report is bellow:

Macaws (parrots).

Hello. In the following paragraphs, there will be information about a well known bird: the macaw.

This will include where they live, what they eat, how they can talk, and how they interact with humans.

 

Where they live.

Macaws live in the South American rainforest with a total of 17 different species. They live in holes in trees and on banks and cliffs. They live in groups of 10-30, smaller family groups, or in pairs, unless they are a pet, of course. Big groups help protect from predators such as larger birds and snakes.

 

What they eat.

Macaw groups travel together in the morning and afternoon to forage for food. They eat fruit, seeds, nuts, grains, and insects.

In between foraging, their natural call sounds like a shrill scream. These calls help then check in with each other, alert for danger, or play.

 

How they talk.

Macaws don’t have a larynx that humans use to speak, but they have a syrinx that lets them speak human words and sentences. They copy what they hear, which is how they speak, when they hear something very often.

 

How they interact with humans.

macaws like to cuddle and be spoken to by humans, and will even “purr” when held. They, as said before, will copy many things they see and hear.

 

Overall, macaws are cool. For the ability to copy speech, and the bird itself.


That was my report, thanks for reading!
さようなら

School disco

On 29 June 2023 6:00 – 7:30, we had a school disco. There were lots of lollies to buy that I’m sure many many many many many many kids bought lollies. Here’s a few photos of the disco: Disco.

I liked the disco and had lots of fun.

Haere rā!

Maths, grade raise, fear, and more maths.

I’m a year 6, but I’m in year 8 maths. Feared by many in the class.

This is a true story of me and a general day in maths (2 years up).

First of, I would usually do the black belt challenge, where we have two minutes to do a card of maths, going up and up to black belt (over a period of weeks).

Afterwards, I’d usually do my Prime 4 B maths book, or  5 maths questions then maths book.

Then  sometimes, we play around the world. you go around the classroom answering maths questions trying to answer before the other person until whoever has gone the farthest, or most people beaten, wins. Most people are afraid of me in that class now, and I find that amusing.

Thank you if you read this blog. It was fun to write and brings back memories, that are going to happen again today.

Tena koutou katoa friends! Bye!

Me te ra ataahua!”

I hope you like the Maori language! Its a good language to learn, and native.
