Ancestors

My Beautiful Ancestors...

I am a Cook Island Maori Princess not a Queen,

But a daughter who is loving `

Who is desperate to share.

Yes Indeed! Who has a fear of heights and in front of a large audience

I feel the Courage, Hope, Faith, and Strength of my ancestors taking away my troubles and doubts.

My Cook Island ancestors are the mighty shield protecting me from the outside world,

Protecting me from criminals.

They are the ruler that will never snap,

The cookies that will always be in the jar,

Ukuleles that will always be tuned for the young generation.

My Maori ancestors are the wind whispering directions to make the right path come my way.

They are the ink of a whanau pen never running out,

The artwork that will be straight and solid to look at with comfort.

The stars that will never stop shining bright like a diamond.

The waiata that will give me courage to stand strong.

I hope with what I achieve in life will impress my ancestors to the point where they are singing my praises,

fighting for me in battle,

                            cheering for me and crying tears of joy instead of sorrow.

Work

Today is Tuakana Teina day with room 4.This means coming together and working with a student from another class the buddy that I’m working with is Fine she thinks that netbooks are cool because we don't have to write on books and when we write on a book it hurts our hands.It's cool having a netbook because its easier to write then writing on a book.our teacher won't have to check our books all the time.All we have to do is share our work to our teacher so she can mark our work

easier.

Persuasive Argument

Persuasive Argument

Should children be out allowed out on their own after 7pm ?

No they shouldn’t because...

One they might get kidnapped and the parents might get worried

Two It will be too dark and cold for the kids to play

Three they might get into a fight or ambush to death

fourth The police might bring the kids home for stealing

This is why I think children should not go out after 7pm

should children be allowed to have television in their bedrooms ?

No they shouldn't because...

One they might stay up too late and go school tired

two they would sit down and won't clean up

three they might believe in shooting like dragon ball ze

and think its cool but really people die from shooting

fourth they might play fight and smash the screen

This is why they shouldn’t be allowed to have a television in their room

My Hero

In the Pacific ocean not far from Rarotonga is the beautiful island of Aitutaki. When you see thestunning, clear water you feel like swimming in it. One day after I arrived in Aitutaki, I was starting school  for the day and there was a bully. Usually I was scared of bullies, but this day I had enough! I decided that today was the day to stand up for myself. Jonive came up to me and pushed me. I fell and banged my head on a metal rubbish bin. My head started spinning and I started to feel weird. I opened my eyes and I could see a bright green ball form around me like the room was filled with a toxic green cloud.

When I got up I pushed Jonive. He flew way back like I had chucked a baseball to the back of the room instead of a boy. I started thinking, “But...but how?” So I picked up a half eaten orange that was on the floor and hurled it. It smashed through the wall like a bullet!

“Ohh My Gosh it can be that I have powers?” I thought. I picked up the rubbish bin. Everyone was looking at me. I could tell that they were wondering, “What is she doing?” They formed a huge circle around me and and once I touched the bin I only had to look at it and a blue laser just shot from my eyes.“What’s happened to me?” I said to myself. I was starting to freak myself out so I sprinted out of the room and found a quiet place to think.

“Man I just shot a blue laser at a rubbish bin.” I felt like a superhero!Ever since I hurt Jonive, no one,absolutely no onetried to hurt me or even touch me because they knew what would happen.

Some time later, some other bullies came from another country. They had heard that I had superpowers and decided to take me on. They came to me with gigantic rock. Their leader came up to me and threw it at me and then I ducked. Luckily it just missed my head. I saw a rotten feijoa on the ground. I used my power, called solidify, to make it rock hard and I aimed it at his face. He did something really fast and so strange that I didn’t know what he had done. It went flying towards his face, but then it rebounded off a force field type thing. “MAN!I thought I thought I was the only one with powers!”  I wondered “How am I gonna defeat him?”

So used mytelekinesis to control his brain. I made him slap his own head over and over again. He looked so stupid jumping around yelling, “Ouch! Hey! Stop it!” because everyone thought he was doing it to himself.

When he was jumping around slapping himself I discovered that when I control his mind I get to use his powers. I heard voices behind me so I turned around to see who was coming next. I used my new powers to put a shield around myself. Before I could look, the next guy tried to hit me with the hammer. He swung it at the back of my head. It rebounded off my shield back into his face. He started bleeding but he grabbed a wood and whacked it across my face. I fell flat on my back. He picked me up by my throat with one hand, lifted me off the ground and started strangling me. While we were struggling I reached into my pocket, grabbed a handful of  jelly beans and shoved it in his mouth. He started choking. His face turned red and his eyes went big with shock and fear. He wasn't expecting me to do that.

The last bully ran towards me. I saw a bottle with cordial in it on the curb. I grabbed it and hid it behind my back. When he came closer, I had had enough of fighting these idiots so I squirted the whole bottle in his face. It was dripping all over him then I used my polar blast and froze him into a giant, orange ice block.“It’s time to get rid of the trash.” I said. So I picked them up and squashed them in the nearest bin. Then Aitutaki was nice and peaceful again. No bullies, no bad people just friendly Cook Islanders and happy tourists.

Taekwondo

Blogging About Taekwon Do

1. We broke 2 different boards  
2. The 1st was easy
3. The 2nd
4. Then we wanted to break 2 boards together.

When we had to break a board I didn't want to do

it because I was shy.All of my friends said come on do it please.I thought to myself i'm gonna do it and I did. I did it for all my friends who encouraged me. It took me like one go and it broke it half.

Minette said ‘’If you guys want to break 2 boards then make a line.’’It was a long line because everyone wanted to break 2 boards. When it was my turn it took me 3 kicks and then it broke in half. It was cool because we all had a turn kicking the board.I never gave up because I was kicking the board and it was fun.

At the end Minette ‘’asked’’ us if  we had any  questions. It took five minutes for us to ask her questions and discuss things about Taekwon Do. In 8 weeks in Tae kwon Do we learned a whole lot of kicks and punches to defend ourselves.

Narrative practice

Later that day my sister came to visit me.We were giggling, watching t.v and playing catch with my dog.My sister notes my carpet, she said lets go some where.As we were in the car listening to the beauty of the music and singing along was great.When we got to this place the first thing I saw was,the carpets store.

I said “I don't need a new carpet”

she said “oh yes you do and i'm taking you inside right now!”

“I answered politely okay then lets just go for a look”

we walked inside this beautiful store

she said “you can get any carpet but just one”

I replied okay

I was looking around the room.At that moment I saw this very beautiful carpet hiding behind the other carpets when I saw the colours they looked stunning. She brought it for 60 dollars. When we got home I said thanks sis I like it .that afternoon I was cleaning, and putting the old carpet in it bin then placed the new carpet on the ground in my room.by the time I putted the carpet down she said bye Ngatokurua i'm going home now.I replied bye.

I sat on my carpet.laying on it with happiness.Later that night I went to cook some food.

I sat on my carpet.After a while I finished eating. to eat, to me it was a special carpet because it sparkled like magic.That night I went to bed I had a dream that the carpet could fly in the sky and near the moon.

As I woke up..Then I had another dream about winter,summer,autumn and spring.The funny part about the winter,summer,autumn and spring was winter when there was snow falling down from the sky.I jumped on the carpet but it did not fly I tried every thing.But it did not work.

I looked behind the carpet it said this little quote that said magic magic carpet fly into the sky

When I said that quote the magic carpet flew, Near the moon.I could feel the cold breeze smashed on my face,the trees swishing back and forth, Great looking houses, schools and much much more.Meanwhile I was quite scared because I'm scared of heights.When I got home I rang my sister as fast as I could and told her to come.When she got to my house I told her that the carpet could fly.She never believe me that the only thing i hate about her.

when we were on the carpet I said the magic and we flew and flew.
