Fiafia night

Ladies and Gentlemen put your hands together for 2014 Fiafia night, if you have no idea what Fiafia is well you're in luck, Fiafia night is a celebration we throw out once a year at night and before we come to school we first have rest then fresh up and by having a shower wearing clothes that you can easily take off and on, put on some fresh spray on our body and your ready to perform.

As I stepped in through the coro doors nothing was there, but when I went inside there was food stands everywhere, all lot of family’s had purchased 20 dollars to sell food it was crowded like if it was polyfest,while stepping in forward my mouth was watering, my stomach was growling loud, but I realised I wasn't allowed to eat meat but there was cupcake, so I eat that instead. My friends were there but my best friends weren't there just then I went back and waited for them.

I came with my brother and cousin I knew that they will be bored so I told them that they can buy something to eat if they wanted and they went off playing instead. After while finally my best friends came Mya, Sapphire and Ashlee. So we had and went to food stands and just stuffed our faces with food. Just then a call out was on it was Mr Burt he said this ‘Hello everyone I know you have had a lot of fun, but now it is time for all the performer to get changed in their changing room thank you".

Finishing off wearing my bracelet I felt comfortable inside the classroom but when I went outside I was freezing but just a little bit because I had my jacket on. When I was near the stage I had to take off my jacket and it was cold I shivered a lot. As it was time for my Bollywood group to perform I panicked but I took a huge breath in and went on stage in my position, then it began. During the performance when I looked and the audience it looked as if there was only one because all I saw was a tiny blue light on top of Mr Somerville.

Facts about Wetas ( article )

Wetas are creatures with six legs, but they are not ordinary legs because I thought that insects had no ears but this one does, a wetas ears are on their front knees, to feel the vibration what’s around them. Now that's crazy but that's how they are made .

When dinosaurs were in our world, the wetas were there too, thats amazing 2014 is the year we’re in and they are existing for 100 million year wow just image that your existing for 100 million year thats awesome. The Wetas were called dinosaurs when people were not there but they still existed until now.

Did you know that there are 60 species of cave-weta thats a lot of cave-wetas

they are mostly found in caves which is obvious, but they also usually found in dark places like under a house or logs. they hide in dark places because its safe for them but they need to keep a watch on other predators like rats. they can live up to seven years.

Kakapos

Kakapos are endangered birds, they are low parrots, they are endangered birds because when the first Maori settlers came to new Zealand the had no food and they were hundreds of Kakapos and then the Maori settler thought of eating the Kakapos since their were so many of them and just carried on eating them. Kakapos can live to be 95 years and above average, they are important species to New Zealand like kiwi birds as such. an interesting fact that Kakapos can climb trees, they are the worlds heaviest parrots of all time.

Kakapos are flightless, fight less and nocturnal. when Kakapos are on their diet all they eat is plants or plant berry's but normally they will fruits from Rimu trees and the seeds of the Manukau Kakapos live in forests they don't live in a trees they stay on the ground just like I said before Kakapos a flightless birds, Kakapos make their nest in smalls perfect holes for them. If a predator comes near by they will camouflage themselves because their feather are color in moss green, dark light brown and little white to combined in the forest or hide in their hole with absolute silence. here is a quote I found.


There are many ways to help the kakapo get removed from the critically endangered list. One way to do it could be supporting a worldwide or local conservation foundation that is already in New Zealand trying to increase the numbers of kakapo. 
The Kakapo Recovery Team is a group of conservationists and volunteers that help make sure the remaining kakapo are healthy and ready for breeding. They do many things to improve kakapo including, regulated health checks, controlling the predators, feeding and hand raising. 
This non-profit organization receives many donations and volunteers who are flown in to a conservation island to help the diminishing numbers of kakapo.

Another way you can help is simply by spreading awareness. Many people know that animals are becoming endangered but they aren't aware of the rate at which how fast it is happening. The rate of extinction is 4 species per hour and there is an unprecedented rate of endangered species. As of 2004, there are 15 589 species endangered which was an increase of 3300 since 2003. The kakapo could easily be one of those extinct if we, humans continue our harmful actions against the animals.

My First Term At Room 19

Hello everyone my name is Dhara and today I'm going to be talking about my first term at room 19 it was the best term by far .   .   .  .

At first Day of the term I was really shy, and anxious about the people and classmate I was going to meet and make, When I was in the class I saw my last years classmates, I was not expecting that ? but I was glad, as soon as I entered the classroom I was really wowed , it had alot of posters and pictures and facts that we will be needing in all our subject's.

To be honest I actually thought that my Teacher was going to be Mr Harris but he left, I was really excited who was going to be our new teacher, people kept saying it was going to be miss Tito, but I didn't know who that person was so I asked My friend Anamei "who is this teacher Miss Tito ?" then she replied ' yes Miss Tito is a really cool teacher, she really like to do cool stuff" I was really not expecting that but she turn out the teacher I had last year Mr Somerville she cool and awesome and does fun stuff.

So in the morning I was sitting and waiting in class, but our teacher didn't come so Mrs Nua from room 22 had to come just until Miss Tito comes back. So then Mrs Nua asked us to make a movie for Miss Tito just to make her feel welcomed, so I went in a with Anamei, Jorja, Andrea, Te rina's group so we made the movie and and all we had to do is just fix it, until and had to do final touch up. Just then she arrived with a huge smile on her face and yelled ' HI yes I'm back" then she came in and gave Mrs Nua kiss on the cheek , then they hugged which was really sweet.

The next day she spent most of her time knowing about us, how we can do stuff together, and she told us what her likes and dislikes they were funny and cool, after a while she got out a fake chicken out of her drawer, and asked the class 'who wants to play catch then chicken ?" Then we all said ' yes" and we went outside and played in the hot raise of the sun after playing that game we all came in sweating which was refreshing.

In week 2 on Monday my teacher made a stars then I asked her "what is that for ?" then she said 'it means that if you do something that is helpful that makes her happy, your name can go up on the board next to star, and by the end of the week on Friday you get to do something really cool and awesome" so then on Miss Tito made a checklist and asked us  if we knew how to put in a tick in our checklist so some people knew but some didn't so she taught us all just in case if they get it wrong.

Week 3 so last week no one got on the stars but this week alot of people went on stars even I did, so then on Friday Miss Tito brought in clay and equipment the we will be needing, and we asked  Miss Tito what are we making and she said Koau koau. Koau koau is made out of clay and it is shaped like an emu egg  but it has got a main hole to blow in, and three to make music it's quite similar to a whistle once we made it, it was very difficult to make music with.

so then on we got have sleep-overs and got to eat pizza and did all those awesome things until term 2 thing started to get out of hand . . . .

The New Freaky Kid

One beautiful day at school the sun was shining through the class window it was overwhelming. During class time the our teacher was marking the role I was patiently sit up up with my arms and legs folded. After a while it was time to get on with our work our class were doing silent reading.

Just then a new weird kid was looking through the window he was coming towards our class,

he came in and our teacher asked him to introduced himself his name was James Brown. He was wearing a red jersey brown pants and black shoes, and sat on the right hand side behind me. I looked behind me and he looked at me with his head down and his blackish brownish eyes and just started and me like a I was his enemy. After morning tea and lunch it was time to go home.

At 5:00 pm I heard a whisper and then another I looked out my window and saw James he was on the other side of the street he just stood there like a zombie and then I rubbed my eyes and he wasn't there, then I looked carefully through my window and there he was standing by my door knocking and then he stopped. I went down stairs and opened the door and heard a whisper until every now and then I kept hearing whispers that I wasn't sure about.

A few minutes later I heard james whispering saying I will bite you and then suddenly he was right me behind me and his teeth were all covered in blood and he tried to bite me I ran up stairs and shut my door tight and then I hid in my closet and closed it tight then I heard foot stepped slowly entering through the door my heart was beating non stop sweat dripping down my cheeks and neck the he found me and bit me on the arm I screamed

Suddenly my I turned blurry and I woke up and realized it was a dream

My Days At Tech

Hello everyone today I'm going to talk about my day at tech. Tech is a place in college where you can have fun, we do things like cooking creating pieces of work with wood and drawing. Mr Pinada teaches graphics. Mrs Heka teaches us on how to create delicious dishes we can make at home with our family and last but not east Mr. Grundy teaches Hard materials where we design our own pieces of work we can make out of wood.

On the first day of tech I was in graphics in that class our teacher was Mr Pinda we made picture and coloured things. I learnt how to made abstract pictures with lot of scribbles the next class at tech was hard materiel. In that class was cool but a lot of people talked a lot. What I made there was a necklace my friend Anamei her necklace was a kiwi but mine was a good luck charm clover. It was hard to make but I got help anyway.

Now I am in Mrs Heka's class she does a lot of cooking she love to cook, So on the first day we were making mince cup-cakes. the ingredients was mince, cheese, onions, garlic, oil, meat gravy and boiled potatoes. The equipment measuring spoons, pan ,wooden spoon,bowl, knife,chopping board. So first thing you do is peel off the skin from the onion and dice it up grab your pan and measure to table spoons of oil.

After that you put in your onion and garlic and stir it until it turns brown. On to our mince before putting you mince in the pan , make sure you squish it and make little mince balls out of it. Once that your onion and garlic is brown add your mince balls and leave it on for a while until it turns brown
after that you add meat gravy and your cheese and mix it altogether.

next is your meat gravy and your boiled potatoes. you firs cut your potatoes side ways and with a spoon scoop a little bit and put it in your bowl. Next after that you add in your meat gravy in beat it up, after that get your mixture that in your pan take it and mix it with your potatoes mixture once that's done,
put the mixture in your scooped up potatoes and put them in the oven.

After that you can dig in I hope you liked my post
