What have I been doing at school

 When I came to school after a long lock down I did my pepeha art I used some paint and it was kinda fun because I don't  like art. After when me and my class mates were done and we were going to do cooking but it got cancelled and everyone was sad but we had swimming today. So I was not that sad but I do love to eat  then after a couple of specs we had swimming  as soon as I got in the pool it freezing cooled so started to move because people say if you move a lot in a cooled water it makes you warm. All of the boys in the pool was starting to do booms play fight with the pool noodles it was really annoying but I had deal with it so I used some of the pool noodles and laid down on it until the end of the day and that made me sleepy but I did not sleep on the pool then after that we all went home. Thank you for reading this have a good day   

My first day of playing Riper

On Thursday when I was done playing basketball I did not know my coach was training for Riper so I decided to join. On the first day was great when we were doing the warm up I saw one of my teachers her name was Ms Lavinia, she was there because her kids went to train there. It was pretty fun to do riper we started our game at around five something.The under elevens had to vs the older kids I was in the older kids team. After the game the under elevens won but it was still cool to play riper.

Dear Sante

 Dear Santa, 

I have talked back to my Aunt because I did not want to do my hair and I have not paid attention to my priest. I just wander around the whole church. This older man tells me to get in the church. I just go to the other room because we are allowed phones in that room. All I want for Christmas is a hoverboard.

I promise to listen to my priest and I will allow my aunt to do my hair. Also, I will listen to my mum and not punch the walls because of my anger issues.

The Evil Old Lay

 By Melody and Koloa

Characters : Grandma-Jo,grandpa-earl, pig ,boys baby-Caleb  Ken: girls Addison and Dixie farmer:Gerald:mouse

Once upon a time there was a family. The mother said “Can you guys take your little brothers out for a walk?”. 

Addison said “Ok Mum”.
So they went at night time. While they were walking on the path, they saw a pig. Then the pig looked back at them then the pig said to them “Booga booga”, then the girls were confused and the pig said “Booga, booga,” louder this time. Then something dropped on the girls and boys heads. There were bags on their heads. The pig did karate moves then kicked them to the ground. Then the pig took them to his house. It wasn't actually an animal, it was an old lady. Every night she transformed into a pig and stole kids, to make them into animals. Then the old lady transferred Addison to a pig. After Addison, she turned Dixie into a mouse. The old lady felt sorry for the two little boys so she did not turn them to animals. Then in the morning the Grandpa said “Where are the girls?”. 

The mother said “I don't know, I just told them to take a walk”.

Then Grandpa said “I will go and look for them tonight”

Five Hours later

It was night now so the Grandpa went outside secretly. Then he saw a lady so he decided to follow her, so he followed her to her house. Then he saw his granddaughter's through the window. After the lady left the house the Grandpa picked the lock to unlock it then he got inside the house. The granddaughters were tied up to each other,and the little brothers were just biting their feet, they weren't  doing anything so the Grandpa untied the kids but they were still animals. The Grandpa saw this farmer through the window dancing, and the granddaughter that was a pig saw the farmer too  then she turned back to a kid. The Grandpa copied the farmer and started to dance then the Granddaughter that was a mouse  turned back to a kid .Then the little girls were so happy that they were back to normal and they lived happily ever after. When the evil lady came back to her house she saw them escape, she clapped her hands and said “You are not going anywhere hehe”The Grandpa said “I'm still old but I know how to lock pick” then he unlocked the door and said “Go out kids I shall take care of this”. When the kids got out the Grandpa whistled and his friend the farmer came then the famer whispered something in the Grandpa's ear. When the Grandpa heard the word that the farmer told him. So the Grandpa said to the ”old lady Hocus Pocus make it go”the lady said ”how did u know that word”the Grandpa said ”because you were singing it when you were walking so we knew” then the Grandpa said the word again, Then suddenly the old lady was melting and melting  then she went to the  Underworld and stayed there forever and everyone lived happily ever after THE END :D

very sick her daughter was hoping that her mother would recover then the mother passed away.Then after many years the dad remarried again to a woman named

Lady Tremain that lady was very wicked. She had daughters named Drizella and Anastasia and they secretly

picked their noses.One day they got an Invitation to go to the royal ball. The step sister commanded Cinderella to make them beautiful dresses for the ball after

Cinderella was done.Cinderella gathered up confidence and ask her mum

¨StepMother can I go to the ball to.The Step Mother said ¨After when you have finish your chores¨.Cinderella said to herself ¨one person can finish this in a

week¨.So she started weeping. Her animal friends helped her to clean the whole entire house after when it was done.She ask her mum again ¨StepMother I'm done

cleaning the house can I go now¨.The StepMother looked down at Cinderella ¨You can not go looking Filthy and you're gonna get ashes all over the ball and the

prince won't like that.So the mother left Cinderella and took her daughter's to the ball.Cinderella went outside and started weeping.Then a mysterious lady was right in front of her the lady said ¨she was her fairy godmother¨Cinderella told her fairy

godmother Cinderella said ¨I want to go to the ball but my Stepmother said no¨.So the Fairy godmother got out her wand and made the pumpkin to a ride for her to

ride in and she made the two mices to horses so they can move the carriage then the fairy godmother turn the other mouse to a person that controls the horses and

she made Cinderella a beautiful dress. As soon as Cinderella arrived to the ball

everyone was looking at her saying ¨who is this princess¨

the time the big clock hit  12 she ran then she accidentally left one of her the glass Slipper the prince picked it up and said i'm going around the village and letting all

the girls try the slipper. So he did go around the village but there was no girl

that could fit init so the last house was Cinderella's house the step

sisters tried it but it did not work the prince asked do you have another girl the

StepMother said¨yes¨ then the prince went to Cinderella than Cinderella tried the glass slipper and it fitted.Then the prince and Cinderella got married.

The end

Cinderella was very sad that she couldn’t go to the ball and she had to clean the whole entire house and her step mother and sisters were very mean to her. 

The Fairy Godmother waved her magic wand and waved the magic wand at the

pumpkin to turn it into a cart Then she waved at the two mice to make them look

like horses. Next the other mouse was turned into a human who controlled the

horses

Lava Lamp Experiment

 

This is my groups work. This week we did an experiment on Lava Lamps. They have to glow. We picked this experiment because it looked cool in the dark. It started to make bubbles and the bubbles went to the surface. I found out that the oil is lighter than the water and  the water would float to the surface.

My Favourite Toy

This my favourite toy because it's big and fluffy. I can hug him. I don't take him everywhere with me
and I don't want him to get dirty. Every time I want to watch YouTube I just lay on him because he
feels like a blanket to me. His name is Henok. My uncle gave him to me for my sister's birthday,
so I didn't feel left out. My teddy bear's age is ten.  He's going to have the same birthday as me on
February 26th. Henok sits on my bed.
