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.

Howick Historical Village

On Tuesday the 22nd of October my class and the juniors went to Howick Historical Village.

My class and I went to Howick Historical Village to learn about how people in the olden days used electricity. Howick was a big Village I felt like I was walking around the basin. A lady took us to a place where we can play games and learn how to be graceful. When the lady told us that girls in the olden days got married at 12 and 13 I was shocked! I learned that in the 1850’s people used fire to heat up their food and iron their clothing.

I learnt a lot and my favourite bit was playing the games.

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. 

The End

Immigration

In class we have been learning about immigration. Here are some positives and negatives of immigration.

My culture.

My culture is Samoan but I was born in New Zealand. My dad was born in Samoa and my stepmom was born in New Zealand. Some days when I go over to my nana’s like on christmas evening we all kneel down and thank God. 

I remember that when I was young My Nana would put candles around in a big circle and my cousins and also Jamal would have to sit down inside the circle of candles and if we didn’t listen we would get a slap on the bottom. 

I respect my culture because as well as I respect my elders and my extended family. I love my culture because there are women that do graceful dancing and some even tell stories of what they have been through or what they heard, but that’s not all because Samoan is part of my family and I should be proud. 

The one thing I hate is that I’m still learning how to speak Samoa and also to understand Samoa. 

Here is a picture of the Samoan flag. 

Thank you for reading I hope you enjoyed my story.
