Toi Toi reading with P.W.C

Today people from the P.W.C Toi Toi company came to Glenbrae School to inspire us to write or draw something that can be published in the Toi Toi books.

I was in a group of four and my volunteer, Emily a wonderful lady that had an amazing accent.

We read together some interesting, amazing stories and poems that were published by 9 - 14 year old students from all over the New Zealand. There were also some amazing and mind blowing art that students younger than me published. It inspired me to make my own story, poem or even drawing a picture. I learnt some new vocabulary words that I could use in my writing and the meanings. My favourite text was The Warrior's Last Man (46 - 51 pages). The fun thing that I liked about today was reading the stories and poems and gazing at the art pictures.

Reading Work (Group Blake)

Today with my group, we learnt about human hearing and animal hearing. I our ears we have something called the Cochlea. In between the lines of the Cochlea he have what's called Cilia (Hair Cells).

 Cilia's are are very delicate and fragile. they can be damaged by having headphones on full volume or from other loud sounds. As you grow older you start to loose your Hair Cells. To prevent this from happening, you should have your headphones to the volume of medium, or anything lower and if you are doing anything that involves loud sound, than you can wear ear muffs or use something else that will help!

Maui and the giant fish

Three facts about maui from the legend maui and the giant fish.

1. Maui's brothers thought that he was useless and weak

2. Maui proved his brothers wrong when he caught the most giant fish.

3. Maui's fish turned into the north island

I didn't know that Maui wasn't always a God and that he was seen as weak. 

My Holiday's

Going to the farm, Beach and going on the boat!

Last wednesday (during the holidays) I was in Kaitaia with my FAMILY.

I went  Up North with my two brothers. We went to one of my family member’s farm. While we were there, we played around the treehouse, on their land, had a tour around the farm, talked to the animals and captured a tiny lizard that wasn’t even half the size of my hand! We were there because it was my cousin’s 16th  birthday! Then we got ready to leave.

When we got to the beach my family members brought the boat into the water and got the biscuit ready (something that gets dragged by a boat) for the three people to jumped on. While 4 people and I got on to the boat. We were watching them have fun, going up and down and watching them fall off. My cousin’s and I wanted to get on the biscuit but it had deflated while the other three were on it. When we got off the boat and started swimming, my 6 year old cousin went on with his mum along with all the adults. After everyone was finished having fun, we all had something to eat then went home.

My highlight of that day was going on the boat and having a lot of fun with my family and my low light was that my dad couldn’t come because he had to work and that we weren’t able to go on the biscuit which was a big disappointment. But at least i had FUN!

I recommend this story for people 8 and over because they might even want to go on a biscuit one day!
