In Whangarei

Last week me and my mum and aunty and dad went to Whangarei. First we dropped my dad off to  the rugby field with his mates and my uncle Sam. Then me and my mum and aunty went to go book our hotel. Our door had a number 5 on it.  Next we went back to the rugby game. It started. Then all of us said, “Dad and Uncle Sam Go!” But they lost. Then we went to the pools and I was the only one that went for a  cold swim in the pool.  I said to my mum, “Look at this big as bomb.” It was louder than a drum. I saw Penaia at the pools too. He was sitting on the seat. Then I got out of the pool and we left the pools. We went back to the hotel and  then my dad and uncle came to the hotel and Uncle Sam said, “Can I stay at your hotel please?” We all said, “Yes.” Next I had a bath  and it was a spa bath. It had heaps of bubbles and it was super fun. I had a great time. Not long after that we went to sleep.

We had a good time at the hotel. The next morning we all had breakfast. Our breakfast was hotcakes and the hotcakes were super yummy.  

I had an awesome time in Whangarei.

Persuasive Writing: We should drink water every day.

WALT to use the correct structure for Persuasive Writing.

We should drink water every day

I think we should drink water every day

Firstly I think we should drink water every day so our body and mouth doesn't get dry.

Secondly I think we should drink water every day because it sends all the healthy nutrients that are in the food you eat, all around your body.

Another reason why I think we should drink water every day is because when we wee, cry and sweat and spit, we lose water, so we have to fill it back up again.

Lastly I think we should drink water every day because we can stay at the right temperature especially when it is  hot.

So that’s why I think we should drink water every day.

WALT use the correct structure for Persuasive Writing

Kapahaka is important to learn.

I think that kapahaka is important to learn.

First I think kapahaka is important because you learn to sing in time and in tune.

Secondly I think kapahaka is important because it connects you with your tupana so we can keep learning the songs and actions and we will never forget them.

Another reason why I think kapahaka is important is because we learn to keep in beat when we are doing the actions and waewae takahia.

Lastly I think kapahaka is important because we learn lots different songs and actions.

So that’s why I think kapahaka is important.

Look at the Taonga I made for my Dad.

Happy Father's Day, Dad.

Then we kept driving. It was very bumpy and we stopped on the side of the road to have lunch. I had a sandwich and a yoghurt. It was yummy. We kept on driving.

We went to the snow.The mountain was big, big, big. When we got to the big mountain we went to the elevator. It took us down to the lower part of the mountain where all the learners go. Then we went to put our boots on so we don't fall on the ground. Next we went on the skis. It was fun. I spun around and skied on the fast track. I didn't get hurt and I didn't cry too. I went up on this machine. It carried me and my skis up and it went on it for heaps.

I built a snowman.

I had a fantastic holiday.
