My Treasures

By Anonymous -
Over the past 3 or 4 weeks we have been sharing treasures and this time it was my turn. For my treasure I had a picture of my Great Grandad He was born in Waimate and died when he was 93. I was just 9 years old. Great Grandad went to the 2nd World War and his dad went to the 1st World War.  He fought in the Pacific Island war alongside his friends and his brother. He went to war when he was only 16 but he was supposed to be 18. He was away for about 18 months. When he came back his mum was so happy to see him and I was so lucky to get to spend time with him and listen to his stories. My second treasure was my green stone fish hook. This is special to me because this was handed down to my dad as a wedding present. From his WHANGAI WHANAU ( this means adopted parents ). Now Dad has passed it down to me. The fish hook symbolises Maori determination, peace, and good health. My last treasure is my very first rugby trophy. I got player of the day on our last game of the season and then got to keep it. I wanted shared it with you as my treasure because rugby plays a big part in my family and because it is my favourite sport.

Thank you reading, I hope you liked it. If you had to share your treasures, what would they be?

Teacher Conference

By Anonymous -
On the second week of term 2 some year 7 to 8 students got to go out to a teacher's conference this was called voice and choice. That is when some students go to a teacher's conference and speak about what goes on your school but the students say what goes on not the teachers. So me and Trent had to come up with a speech to say to the other teachers that were there. We all got a topic to speak about and a buddy to come up with what we presented ( mine was Trent ). There was a number of topics and our topic was science. This term we get to come up with our own science project and we get to go with a buddy. Mine is Logan and our project is "how does the shape of a paper plane's wings affect its travel distance?" This is mine and Trent's speech. Hi my name is Reuben and this is Trent and we will be sharing with you what it is like in science for the Kaupeka hub for kids. Last term we started to do some science we got to chose out of chemistry, Biology and ph...

My Recount

Do you now what the wahine disaster is about ? Well that's what I am going to share with you now it has been my recount and I know term 1 is over but but I still have't showed what I did so sit back and read away PS: I hope you like it and had a great holiday. The Wahine Story “Robertson Gordon”!!! I repeat “Robertson Gordon”!!! ‘The seas are getting really rough out there’, said the harbour master, you should  either turn back or risk it and  push on to Wellington”.  It was the 10th of April 1968 and the ferry was travelling from Christchurch to Wellington their were two storms raging and they were going to meet.  One storm was coming  from the North and one from the South Island. Robertson Gordon ( Captain/me  ) said “thanks but we will risk it.” I knew I should had pulled the boat around but I chose not to. Getting to Wellington that was my plan and the ferry engine started and the people were so excited that's why I didn’t want to turn around...
