My letter to Santa

Dear Santa Claus.

My name is Paisha and I am 9 and a ½ years old.
Thank you for all the presents you gave me last year.
This year I have been good, I helped my nana bake her
Pies and cakes too. I also did the dishes for my mum when she was gone.

This year I would like a piano and a kitten but I would really like a kitten with no fleas! Can you please say hi to Ruldoph the rednosed reindeer and the  other reindeers as well. Also Mrs. Claus. Have a safe travel around the world.

Thank you!
Paisha Pau

What I use electricity for

When I wake up, first thing I do is turn on my light. I am going to  tell you about what uses electricity.

We all use electricity right? Now I’m going to tell you about: What uses electricity.

Sense we use electricity we would already know. This is my writing of what uses electricity. When it’s dark we turn on the lights right? Well lights have electricity in it. When you want a coffee you boil the kettle. Kettles also have electricity.   

At school we use chromebook’s and when it dies we charge it. When the teacher wants to show us something we use the projector.

I hope you learned something today.

   Thank you for reading.

What uses electricity?

I used google draw to create a poster about what uses electricity.

Energy

We are learning about energy this term for inquiry. Here are some energy forms I know.

Catch it

One day I woke up with a big yawn and stretch, and then I fell back to sleep. I popped my head out of my underground house and saw the sun shining on my face, my friends did the same. I looked at a large tree and saw a pink fruit, my friends and I climbed the tree and stroked the fruit. Suddenly a Vulture came and frightened my friends and I, we hid in our underground houses and with a blink of an eye he flew off with our fruit. My friends and I were furious and eventually we chased after him, we ran and ran until one of my friends jumped and hung on his legs! We made a ladder and when he flew higher and higher we fell, the fruit fell with us. We worked together to get the fruit away from the Vulture and we succeeded! The Vulture smacked into the wall we played and played with the fruit, then I kicked the fruit and it went between 2 trees then….
SPLAT on the ground went the fruit. We looked disappointed as if someone got a bad report.
THE END.     

My Spring writing.

As I am walking, I can smell the fresh spring air, and the sweet flowers attract the beautiful butterflies and bees. The smell and the scent takes me away in peacefulness. I can smell each different and unique smell of flowers. It takes me away and then I forget all my bad moments. The smell fills my lungs as I rest. The sounds and the smell heals my headaches. I feel relaxed and my anger has gone. I feel like my peacefulness is dragging me into a calming world.   

Spring Poem

Spring starts on the first of September.

Petals on the flowers are colourful and bright.

Rainbows appear but not often.

It rains so the flowers can grow.

New leaves start to grow on the trees.

Grass start to grow green and long.

The Sons of Ma'afu

Once there lived a chief named Ma’afu who had two naughty sons their names are Ma’afutoka and Ma’afulele. They always get in trouble. They would practice throwing their spears but never be careful where they throw them, once a spear ended up  in a man’s leg and 

from now on he could never walk properly.

The villagers had enough so they sent them away to Atavahea to get water the chief didn’t want to send them away because he knew there was a scary and big duck there  but a good leader listens to his people, so the brothers got their coconut shells  and they went to Atavahea to get water. The boys started getting water when the big scary duck appeared, the two boys fought with all their might and they won, they gathered their water and travelled back to the village with the duck.

 The villagers were still unhappy so they sent them to Muihatafa to get water but from the bottom of the sea, the chief looked at the two boys, he knew that there was a triggerfish and the boys wouldn’t stand it and saw that they were not even sorry so he agreed, Ma’afutoka and Ma’afulele got their coconut shells and travelled to Muihatafa. Once they got there they dived into the ocean and the triggerfish came swimming towards the boys, the boys fought with all their might and when they thought that they were going to drown one of them punched the fish through the gills and it stopped moving, since the fish stopped moving they both got water and headed back to the village.

 The village was still unhappy so they wanted to send them away. Ma’afu the chief  wanted to change their minds but the people have spoken so the sons went to live in the sky so they can always look down and see their village.

Information Report

Bzzzzzzzzzzz. What is that sound? It’s a buzzing bee. A bee is an insect because it has 6 legs and 3 body parts head, thorax and an abdomen. Honey bees help pollinate the plants. They fly from plant to plant. Honey bees also collect nectar. They use their proboscis to suck up the nectar. The queen bee lays all the eggs and if the queen bee dies the other bees will get confused and they will just kill themselves. The bees are black and yellow. Bees have pollen baskets but only female bees have them. Bumble bees keep the nectar and put them into cells, and when the nectar dries it turns into honey and they save it for food.

Thank you for reading I hope you learnt something!

Butterfly life-cycle

Here is the life-cycle of a butterfly. I created it on a 

google draw.

I am a Butterfly

I am colourful and pretty what am I ? A butterfly! I just came out of my cocoon and now I’m drying my wings. I go from flower to flower collecting pollen and spreading the pollen. Also my antennae helps me to feel, smell and taste the nectar. It also tells me which flower is safe to lay my eggs on.

I am really good because I help the flowers grow and I help the bees to collect pollen from flowers. I attach my eggs to a leaf with a special glue. My scientific name is Rhoplocera but I prefer to be called a butterfly.   

My sisters birthday

On Tuesday in the holiday, my brother and I were at our Nana’s and it was my sister’s  birthday! She is turning four! Meanwhile, while I was waiting, I was watching TV in the front. Until they finally arrived I immediately rushed to the door, just to say “HAPPY BIRTHDAY !” My sister jumped up and hugged me until I tumbled over! I played with her until it was time to eat. We ate KFC and my cousin told me that KFC stands for “Kids Fat Club!”. We had cake and it was so yummy I wanted more but I didn't.

It was so fun I can’t wait until my birthday.
