Conservation Poem

                                                     I Am Te Awa 

I hear the whispers of the mountains and the waters, 

After all I am te maunga’s daughter,

I can’t bare life without no sound,

I’d feel as if I want to bound

I am the wā kāinga (home) of many living creatures,

They are definitely my main features

Simple Machines

This week we have been learning about simple machines. We learnt that there are six different simple machines called a pulley, inclined plane, wheel and axle, screw, lever and a wedge.

We did a poster all around it and we also coloured it in. We also had to design our own playground with the simple machines in it..

Graphic Novel For SSR

I read a graphic novel called The Three Little Pigs that was retold by Lisa Trumbauer and illustrated by Aaron Blecha. My favourite part was when the third little pig was meant to meet up with the big bad wolf at an orchard, but instead he went earlier and picked apples from an apple tree. It was my favourite part because the wolf thought that the pig would meet up at five o’clock in the morning at the orchard. Instead the pig went at four o’clock in the morning. The wolf thought the pig went earlier on accident but the pig did it on purpose. 

Song For SSR

My favourite song lyrics that I read were Believer by Imagine Dragons and when I was reading the song lyrics I could imagine the sound/beat of the song playing. I really enjoyed reading the lyrics because I think that it’s a song that people would like or have heard before. I also liked it because it says you break me down, you build me up believer. It reminds me of someone making a mistake and then trying again/giving it another go.

Poem For SSR

My favourite poem that I read was On The Road written by Lola Fisher. I also liked the picture that was of someone crossing the road. It talks about someone facing their fear of crossing busy roads in Vietnam and I think it’s cool since I was once scared of crossing roads. In this poem there is someone who is being a role model to someone else as well.
