Cat Care part 4: Safety needs

Never let your cat our in night. Night time is the worst time for your cat to wonder outside. It is dangerous for your cat likely it can be run over when the streets are less busy as they get surprised all of the sudden they get blinded by the cars head lights and at that split second they rather make it alive or died.

Most cats fight occur at night which can result the costly abscesses. There is not greater risk of your cat being attacked by a dog at  night. In most cases we do not recommend that the people who  live on the main road and adopt a cat or kitten. The chance of your car to being injured  or maybe killed by a car is too High.

If you have a cat and your the owner of it however please keep your cat inside your house as much as possible especially when its dark at night. There will be a lot of risks to handle if you don't follow these instructions.

Cat Care part 3 : Period of adjustment

Our cat and kittens must be kept inside  for a minimum period of one month to allow adjustment to the new environment. If you have adopted a kitten it should not be allowed to go outside at all until it has finished its vaccination schedule in order to minimise the risk of picking up any disease.

Until the kitten has been de-sexed. It should not go outside for long periods of time and these outings must be supervised. This is to ensure that the kitten is big enough to defend its self against  other cats in the neighbourhood. Also doesn't risk having baby kittens and increasing  the number of unwanted cats.

At this age the cat maybe left outside during the day, but always find you cat and it back home before sundown or before night. It can be really risky for your cat to be outside and night, there are a lot more dangers to befallen into. A cat will explore the neighbourhood properties but it shouldn't be too far from home. Because if it is being properly taken care of there would be issue you wouldn't want to deal with.

See that outside trip are being built up  gradually so the it doesn't feel abandoned when you leave it home alone for days. If some reason your cat or kitten doesn't return home and its regular time then you need to go outside for a walk in the neighbour hood, calling your cats name and asking your neighbours if they have seen it any where.

Many cats get locked in sheds and garages so always checked that, before you scoot off to the neighbours asking where they have seen your cat at sight. NEVER ! chase after a disobedient or excited cats as it may run on to the road. Instead of being a brain less cat chaser try to lure your cat by getting cat food in to a bowl calling it names like if it was your child and it will approach to you slowly and walk up to you purring.

Furtrue Apriation

On Wednesday 26th November team 5 had a team assembly but it was different. That day was special we had special visitors to join us, there team name was Future Aspiration. They came to our school to talk about their childhood story why should you try new things.

It all started when Mr Andrew Paterson he came here before and start to talk about a boy named Iavana Seuala, ‘Iavana is an amazing speaker, he was really good at talking in front of crowd and audience” said Mr Andrew. He showed us a little clip of him talking to an audience. It was shocking because never seen a kid my age talk so perfectly to a crowd.

After that Mr Andrew asked us ‘ have you guys know a show What Now ?” we said Yes! with excitement”. Then I want to introduce you to Mr Samuels” everybody was clapping & cheering Mr Samuels said ‘Hey everyone, I would like to tell you something very special that you wouldn't believe”, he said in the 19 something ?. He was character in a T.V show named  What Now” Mr Samuels showed us what he looked like when he was a teenager they looked funny I saw a man wearing a woman's dress. Next he tot us what To Miharo Hoki means in three languages Maori English and sign languages it means you are awesome.

After Mr Samuels`s saying next was Paula Fakalata. He started with how he got to be in that situation. He asked everyone which story he should tell us, and the options was a story of how he almost died and how he gave everything a try. Paula was a swimming gold medal the loved swimming a lot and he would visit it with his friends every day.

He won everyone competition only because he cheats in a way of how he get into the middle of the pool and he would put his feet down onto the ground and just walk all the way to the end. But the only problem was that we couldn't find the ground so he started downing and the lifeguard jumped into the pool but he past out. Later on his friends started laughing at him and is family was so terrified, but he was just happy that he lived.

After he had told us his story up next was Amelia. She has always been a huge fan of fashion, she has her won company for what she does and she sells all the clothing that she creates. The thing that got her into doing fashion is when her school had been doing a task of fashion and they had to make something out of ugly clothing that is pretty hard to sow. So she had know idea what too do so she made a dress out of blue fabric. And after that day she continued doing her creation in her own company and she still continues to do it.

Writing Sample :Friends

What are good friends, good friends are people who are there for you when you're feeling blue. Good friend are those people who stand up for you when you're down. They are the ones who encourage you to never give up in games. They are people who never lie to you. They are the peoples shoulder you lean on. Thats what Good friends are.

Keeping friendship is the most important thing about having friends. You will always have to do the same what they do for you. Respecting them, Caring for them, Cheering for them. Anything to see a smile on their face to tell you thanks for being there for me.

It is really hard and important to make friends with everyone, I’m not saying that you have to be friends with everyone just make as much as you can ,because what if your best friend you normally hang out with is not there with you at school. You will need someone to be there with or you will end up being OTL. Because when you grow up you might remember them and in surprise they might turn out to be your neighbour.

When people who look for a friend they want to see the real you and who you really are. Not someone who wants to be someone else. No that never is going to work if you want to be a friend like that. You will need to just be yourself and that person will think yes this is the kind of person I’m looking for to be my friend. But get too crazy like to over bored of yourself because who know they might change their mind.

The biggest key to have a friend is trust !. Trust goes something like this if your friend has gone through some bad things and they won't tell anyone else but you. Your trust is to never tell anyone. Because if you do tell one person you think that they are trustworthy but they are secretly not. They can cause a mess and sadly you can lose a friend.

My opinion is to never give up trying to look for friend. Because lets be honest you have been gone through those time that your friend has ditched you for another mate. Don’t cry over that they are many people just like you who trying to find their best pal to play with so stay positive and you will find you best friend.

Dhara's Empathy explanation

Think about walking in a poor persons shoes ending up on the street, constantly begging for money to feed themselves. You see someone with a house and a job who walks past you and starts laughing at you, it would be mean and ungrateful to be laughed at. To show empathy  if you saw someone in this condition you would look into your heart and help them out. Empathy is how you understand other peoples feelings. Its important for us to create our world to be empathetic

What sort of ways to show empathy, Empathy is when you are caring for someone that is alone, poor, helpless and is in a terrible condition. If a person that is alone or helpless it is best for you to help them. Because maybe in the feature if you are desperate to ask for help they might remember you and help you out. It can’t be just only this way there is another way too.

When someone is giving a speech to a audience and that person is panicking and  starts talking to themselves that they can’t do it. To be empathetic is walking up to that person and say ‘Don't worry about the audience just look at the exit not at the audience and you will be alright.

Why is it important to show empathy. Empathy is important because without empathy one is complete. It is very supportive to be empathetic so people would collaborate with each other. It wouldn't be that hard to ask people for help, because what if a ladies purse got stolen outside in front of everyone and no one is doing nothing about it that would be terrible.

Immersion assembly

Today I'm going to tell you about our Term 4 Immersion Assembly. If you have no idea what I’m going to talk about let me explain. Every beginning of a bright term we always walk to the hall, and our wonderful teachers show us on stage what are we going to learn for this term.

We have teams 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. My favorite item was from Team 4. Their group was hilarious because my old teacher Mr Somerville was in that group acting as a french artist. Miss Ouno, Mr Goodwin, Miss Lavakula, Mrs Jacobson were famous artists too in that group.

Miss Garden was an interviewer asking the artists who they were, and where they came from.  I can't remember who they all were, but I remember two of them. Miss Lavakula was acting as Fatu’ Feu’u and Mrs Jacobson was acting as Vincent Van Gogh.

Mrs Jacobson was wearing a bandage on her head because she chopped off her ear and was hold a painting of a starry night, after when Miss Garden interviewed Miss Ouno next she interviewed Mrs Jacobson and asked Mrs Jacobson which artist are you and why did you made this painting ?. She said “I’m Vincent Van Gogh and the reason why I made this is because, when I see this Man this picture appears in my head”.

One calm night, the sky was illuminated by the stars. They glistened against the ocean water. The moon in the sky made an ombre effect which reflected in the water like it was a mirror. An old man, a bulky man and an innocent child came along in a boat.

A buff bulky man rowed powerful strokes in the ocean water . While he was rowing the boat the innocent child peered into the water looking at the oars with his googly eyes. He looked like he was daydreaming but in the night.

Cat Care part 2 First Week

Cats are by nature territorial, which means that having a place to call their own is extremely important to their emotional well-being. your cat or kitten will be in a state of stress right now taken away to a new strange place, and at that's time your goal will be is to keep them comfortable ASAP also known as as soon as possible.

When you bring a new cat or kitten home. Make sure you have a single room with food water and a littering place at least for the first few days. It is great kindness for your cat or kitten to allow and claim ownership of a small new territorial, at its own place without any competition.

Some shy cats or kittens may freak out and hide under your bed as long like a week . Or possibly more. Others will be to come out into the house and go exploring just for the day. The important thing is to let your cat emerge when it feel likes it. You should spend as much time in the room with your cat or kitten, but never try to force it out from hiding.

Try to keep children quiet and seated on these visits, so they don't frightened the cat or kitten if its not use to kids. The  cat or kitten will let you know when its ready to come out to explore more of the house. Be sure to leave fresh food and water at all times, and check out that it is being consumed. Even stressed cat like to eat, so no food for 24 hours or more is possibly a sign of illness and warrants to a trip to the vet.

Adding Detail : Girl afraid of height

 Today our teacher Mrs Squires told us to find a paragraph in a story the she wrote and we only had to add detail.

Never in my life had I faced such a difficult challenge. I stood in front of the cargo net I felt hot.. I would never be ready for this. It was Physical Education and there was lots of equipment around. The net was something we all had to do and I needed to at least try to climb it. I was not a good climber, and never had been. I wanted to turn away. But I grabbed the net in my hands  and began to climb. I said words to encourage myself as I went. I was worried that I might get a rope burn or splinters.  I tried not to think about feeling scared of heights. I went more slowly the longer I climbed. I stopped altogether. I felt weak and there was still so far to climb.I called to the teacher that I was finished. I lowered myself down. I was thinking that I had tried my best. I still most likely cannot climb the  cargo net. But I was pleased I had tried.

Never in my life had I faced something challenging. I walked up to the front of the cargo net  and tried not to freak out. As soon as I climbed two steps on the net I kept repeating in my head trying to encourage myself Don't give up, don't give up”I take heavy breathes and carry on climbing.

I tried not to think I was afraid of heights. My heart was pounding with fear.My muscles felt weak and there was still so far to climb. My heart was filled with determination feeling like i'm going to conquer my fear and just at the split second I gave up. While I was climbing down I felt like I was never gonna get over it.

Once I got down I was frustrated and felt terrible at the same time. I had a heart full of determination but my fear got worse, I slowly dragged myself to my teacher I could hear people in class laugh I didn't care because at least I gave it a go.

Ki-O-Rahi

In a Maori legend there was a man called Rahi-Tutaka-Hina, he had had a beautiful wife named Ti ara-kura-pake-wai but for short Ti Ara. Then one day when Ti ara was in the forest, gathering flowers and plants, the Patupaiarehe carried her off dragging her deeper in the forest. None of her tribe could find her through the forest, until they realized that they put a spell on the forest to make the vines thick, so it can be difficult for them to find Ti Ara.

Once Rahi-Tutaka-Hina found out about what happened to his wife. He built a huge Manu Tangata and loaded it with moa egg's packed in his Ki as food for his long journey. Then he set off his Manu Tangata to find his wife Tawhirimatea god of the wind, sent breeze to Rahi-Tutaka-Hina so his Manu Tangata can be sent into the air.

While he was riding his Manu Tangata, the Manu Tangata tipped sideways, dropping the moa eggs in to a nest of Namu, the giant hokioi and the Namu's chick's ate the moa egg's eagerly. Then the Manu Tangata set Rahi-Tutaka-Hina in a clear space where Ti Ara was being dragged through the forest, She had bent back the leave of the sliver fern's. The leave's made a silver trail for Rahi-Tutaka-Hina to follow, and set off after her.

The Patupaiarehe that he was being followed by Rahi. Suddenly their tohunga cast even more spells Just then a fiery sun burned the forest trees ,then a strong wind blew, the land became a desert of hot warm sand. Rahi was very exhausted and thirsty there was nothing in the place where he was but a yellow rock, as soon as he reached the yellow he threw one of his Ki's on to it, the Mauri of the ki turned the bare rock into a cool green.

While he rested in shade the rock Namu the giant hokioi landed beside him, the hokioi cooled Rahi-Tutaka-Hina face with water from her beak. From a blink of an eye a enormous lizard appeared and trapped Rahi-Tutaka-Hina by making a river around them. At that second the enormous lizard turned into a Taniwha and tried to attack them both it the sun started to set and he was trapped it was really cold so the Namu did its best to keep Rahi-Tutaka-Hina. Until finally he managed to untrape himself .

Rahi-Tutaka-Hina found his way back home and gathered his tribe to find his beloved wife. At least they found the volcano where she was hidden. Just then the volcano was about to erupt in any moment Rahi and his people blocked the vents. That volcano was so hot Patupaiarehe were forced to bring Ti ara back out and give what Rahi was seeking. But before any thing Patupaiarehe wanted to settle this by making peace. Rahi thought until he came up with an idea he said instead of fighting he invented a game Ki-O-Rahi. for all this drama they settled it my inventing a game. 

This is how you play Ki-O-Rahi first you need equipment
1 Bin as the Tupu
2 Cones
3 7 poles
4 8 people each group 
5 only 16 people allowed 

One team is called Taniwai and the other Kioma. The Taniwai team aim is to hit the tupu, the bin,with out get their tags ripped off. Kioma aim is three people have to been in the middle and have to block the other team from hitting the tupu and the rest have to pull the tags.

Cat care part 1 : Feeding

Things you should know before owning a cat/kitten one day I was helping my mum the other day and started think about my last years report, I was so behind on my writing because, I kept using then,and all the time. So I thought what can I find in my shop that I can write about. Near a counter I found a book about Cat-care ( I didn't copy out the book I used my own words in another way)  .

Make sure that your cat or kitten can reach or accuses to food and freshwater. Cats are grazers by nature and much prefer snacks than having food or a good meal at right times.

Kittens should be fed kitten food until they are 9-10 months old, it contains extra nutrition needed for healthy growth. Eating adult cat food will not give pain or hurt your kitten, it will probably just eat more to get proper nutrition.

Elderly or very old cats should be given senior food, while these cat have weight problems they should be put on a calorie controlled lite diet. Cat's and kittens should be given fresh water in a solid straight bowl, even if it dose not drink out of it. Empty rinse and refill daily.

Cat's or Kittens don't need milk it will actually make them feel sick and it will actually prevent diarrhea or vomiting in some cats. Chocolate is poisonous to cats so be care full do not leave it in a place where it can go up to for a nibble on ( Make sure its hidden.

Chicken bones and fish bones should always be avoided forever because if your cat or kitten eat's it, it will cause serious damage, It can give splinters in its stomach and after when you will realized that you will have splinters in your heart so beware of that.

Diving post

For a diver to be balanced they need to know what position they are going to be in. Especially their feet it has to be on the edge of the diving-board, when they are going to dive they have to be in a angle position that is pointing straight down.

That's when they have to really concentrate and have a sharp focus. Then they jumped off the diving board when they are almost in between the pool and diving board that's when they put the arms together like a seal and get back up in the water without touching the bottom.

They do a lot of tricks when they are in the water but the difficult part about it is that they are not allowed to touch the bottom of the pool or else they will be disqualified in a competition. A diver should enter the water straight without any angle, their feet balanced against the diving board, and they focused and concentrated very well.

All of their movements were cool before entering the water as they landed in the water with a minimal splash, controlling their bodies while they jumped of the diving board also they were all balancing of the edge of the diving board.

Kahurangi Dance group

All of the sudden the school bell rang it was time to watch the show that our teachers were talking about this morning. Our class lined up to go to the hall. The hall was filled with year seven and eight and six and fives, cheering the Kahurangi Kapahaka Dance Group to do their best performance.

It began with a lady wearing a traditional Maori piupiu with her pois on the side. She came into the middle of the hall and started talking about the Maori gods and how the world was made. Soon she was joined by three men wearing the same thing but shirtless.

Next another lady joined in, and started to sing about the Maori gods and how the Earth mother Papatuanuku and Ranginui the sky father’s children separated them. One by one they sang together. While they were telling us about the Maori gods I could really imagine how that atmosphere must have looked like. I realized something. When we sing after a mihi it's not loud like their singing. Our voice are strong but not loud enough to be perfect. Their singing was amazingly loud and had a lot of accuracy and beautiful harmonising. It was incredible!

It was nothing like what we expected from two ladies and three men. It was amazing how much sound could come from 5 people with great voices. I kept whispering to my friend next to me (Sapphire) that they should have been in Britain's Got Talent because that was some amazing talent. They would win in any competition that’s for sure.

To finish off their show at the end they started to pick people. So they picked three people. Surprise! The three people were Korobeau, Mr Goodwin (teacher) and Auri. Before the performers started to perform they introduced themselves at the beginning of their show. One of the men named Jorden came up in front, so did Korobeau Mr Goodwin (Teacher) and Auri. They all spread out.

Jorden held a stick which everyone guessed it was a rakau but it was just a stick. While they spread out they started to show off. Auri on the right hand side of the stage was acting as if he was an amazingly strong warrior. Then one of the Kahurangi people Aroha was saying that Korobeau on the left hand side was an amazingly strong warrior and it said the same with Mr Goodwin. He was trying to make him look kind, awesome and cool just like Korobeau and Auri.

Once that was over with I felt like that this was going to turn out funny and it did.  Korobeau, Mr Goodwin and Auri had to copy what Jorden was doing in front and copy him, and when they tried to do that it turned out hilarious. My friend Sapphire and I burst out laughing our faces were turning red hot and it ended.

What I did in the holidays

Hey, Today I’m going to talk about my holidays. July the 7th it was my cousins birthday his name is Taran and he was turning 7. For starting off his birthday I woke him up by sprinkling water on his face Quite mean but he got payed back from that day before.

After that horrible morning for my cousin, my cousin and his mum and my brother and I got ready rushed down stairs and the grabbed food and drinks with because we don't want to spend money on food that we already have at home some money for the movie, and hopped in the car.

While sitting in the car wait to reach our destination Sylvia park, I was really tired because we woke up at 6:00am and reach there at 7:00am so I thought I might just take a little rest real quick after a while I woke up and I was sleeping at the back of the car while my brother yelling at me ‘ Dhara wake up!!!.

Previously we went shopping for some thangs we needed until then me and my brother just follow my cousin and his mum around jealous because my brother and I never had a birthday so special than his. Usually our birthday is just wait until 9:00pm to celebrate with our relative and get spoilt with presents and all that jazz but I enjoy them and appreciate, So we just ignored him trying to make us jealous.

Next we went to the movies to watch my cousin’s movie How to train your dragon 2 it was interesting because I watch their episodes with my brother and Cousin a lot “ Its addicting and it’s really funny anyways watching episodes like this does not make me a baby get over it c’mon I used to watch sponge bob and I still do.

Finally at the end of the movie we went to kiwi yo where they make the best mango ice cream If you hate mango’s you need to check your taste buds, and topped it off with rock melon pieces and grapes. like my brother, After that we all went to McDonald and drove home safely  

Drumming at assembly

This Friday was very special because we had two different types of drums set up on the stage, we first started off our Assembly with a karakia and mihi as always. After the awards and quiz were done, it was time for the performance.

There were two sets of drums one normal one and the other cook Island drums, For the cook Island drums there were 4 or 5 men and one woman for that It was shocking for me because whenever I see cook Island people play the cook Island drums its usually only men playing .

To start us off with the performance was a man named Brett Sargent, he came to our school I think for last year, he had his own set it looked cool especially the colors gold and black It was a fancy combination, it look like if it was just brought looking brand new. He then grabbed his sticks and was ready to rock, he went in a smooth beat then to a rock and roll playing it with hard work.

We cheered and clapped but it wasn't over yet it was the cook Island drummers turn I was excited they grabbed their sticks and ready it was smooth in two beats then show time the woman drummer hit the drum twice first because she was the bass, and the two men joined in and then the rest.

the drummers were amazing that everybody were entertained and were bopping to the beat. While they were playing some of the men were already breaking a sweat because it was thats good, playing the beat fast and controlled it can't be that easy, I was think and talking to myself wow it must of taken a lot practise to make it perfect.
