How sports has made me a better person

WALT: write an explanation.

I have always enjoyed watching and playing sport but I believe it has also made me a better person. It has encouraged me to get fit and it has taught me about many  important qualities and values.

Respect

Playing sport has taught me about respect. I’ve learnt to play fairly and respect the rules in the game. I need to be disciplined and not show anger and bad behaviour on the field. It’s important to show respect to my team mates. I need to learn how to be polite to my opponents and their team. If they win I should congratulate them.

Excellence

Sports has made me value excellence. I have to train physically and mentally and take care of my body.  I need to gain confidence with my skills and  develop a positive  attitude. The team must co operate, plan their moves and work together so they could win the game.  I need to do my best. I have  also learnt to admire excellence in other people.

Friendship

Sport has  helped me learn more about friendship. I have learnt that my friends have good qualities such as honesty, trust and helpfulness. If we hadn’t played together I might not have seen these qualities. Having fun with my friends and being part of a team is a great experience. I have also made new friends when we joined a  team together. If we hadn’t been in a team together we might not have known each other. Friendship doesn’t just last on the field it carries on afterwards in our lives.

I really believe that sport has made me a better person. I have learnt to respect other people and myself and I have learnt to admire excellence, I have created bonds with my old friends and made new ones.  The  thing I value the most is friendship.

Path of Maize to New Zealand

WALT: Write a information report

Did you know corn is  in New zealand and they use to call it in the early day maize. Today I am going to teach you about history of corn. In 1769 According to this  Captain James Cook and his European explorers were the first people to  discovered and brought corn to New Zealand in that time . But in New Zealand the Maoris had only potatoes and squash but no corn.

So according to yen James Cook had the corn and gave the corn to the maoris and they  first plant the corn around 1772- 1774.Then we can believe that Captain James Cook was the first explorer to brought corn to New Zealand.

In the corn history the corn can only grow summer and spring and did you know corn can grow in these month like  january, february,september, november,october and december because they are the warmer months for corn to grow. But in the winter season in the other  months  the corn seed can not grow.

In the early days the maoris keep the corn in raw form and share the raw corn with the people or tribe for a trade.

In New Zealand from today we use corn for food like popcorn , Roasted corn, Breakfast cereal  and  boil corn. Corn can be used in many way.

According to yen this how corn get to New Zealand.

A day at the beach

Yesterday my family and I decided to do something in our life. We decided to go to the beach.

While we are at home getting ready to go to the beach, there was some family problem which was  my brother and my mum started to argue about him staying home. So I told my mum it’s his choice If he wanna stay or come. Then I got frustrated with both of them arguing so I decided to take my Staff and walk away. Just after my brother decided to come with us.

First we walked through the park then we walk left side. It was 12:35 and we were almost there .

It was cool to spend time with my family talk to them and sharing things. So we cross the road

So it was only my dad and I who crossed while the others went and got something to eat for us.

When we finished walking while the others were gone I ask him “ Have you ever wonder you have feeling there is going to be an argument”. So he replied to me “ Yes”. When I saw others walking I was thinking that they walk very slow. I was laughing to myself because I was making jokes about them.

When they arrived at Point England Beach ,we have to find a spot for us to do some fishing and to relax. Then we found a spot for us to enjoy ourselves. We found a big rock to relax there. Luckily we brought our mat to lay on. When we got there we put our mat down and we had fish and chips. So we had to wait for the tide to come in. My mum brought some squid from the fish shop in Glen innes. We used the squid for our bait. I almost caught a fish. It was biting my bait. But the fish got away.

Thereafter we shifted to the rock beside us. I was really mad because we had the spot first. When we climbed up the hill. We relax there and waited for my brother and my dad to get  some fish. But no luck.

Finally we went home empty handed.

It was a very good day

Being a good student in class is amazing because once you are a great student you will receive good luck.

Serena

From the lamp a genie appeared and wished me honesty. Being honest about giving money to other people is just silly. I cannot buy friends. I realised I carried a lot of wait and I am going to do something about it. I am a good girl and respect the teacher whenever she’s stressing. I’m also worried about my mother's health. I also do cooking and cleaning and get really tried. This work makes me lack honesty. I will need to improve being honest at school and at home because sometimes I can be dishonest about everything at school and at home.

Megan  

Genie wanted the students in room 11 to behave and to be a loving person. The genie is confident whenever he does his job to solve people’s problems and he uses his brains to think about everything in his working place. When a genie appeared the meanest boys in class. The genie gives a student bad luck because the students was being very rude to him.

Many years ago up on the mountain there was a boy named Aroha. Aroha was a very brave person. Aroha had really black curly hair and brown eyes like the bark of a tree. Sometimes Aroha liked to play with with his younger brother Aote. On that day his brother Aote was sent to go fishing for his family. Aote went on his boat and went to sea. In the afternoon Aroha was waiting for his brother Aote. Aroha was really worried about his brother. Later that afternoon it started to get darker. It was getting late so Aroha went back home to go to sleep.

The next day Aroha went back to the spot where he was the night before. He saw   his brother’s boat floating across to him with nobody on board. Aroha was staring   at his brother’s boat. He got very anxious.  

In the  afternoon  he heard big loud stomping coming up the hill. There was a smell of smoke drifting through the air. When Aroha looked outside  he started to get angry.  He went outside looking furious. Then a chief from another tribe came in front of his warriors. The chief looked vicious. His hair was black as darkness and his eyes were red with rage. The chief had his sharp pointed spear.

His warriors brought  forward his brother Aote with lot of cuts and bruises. Aroha was very angry so he said to the chief “Why have you got my brother Aote? ”. The chief said “ We  are going to kill your brother because he stole our fish from our tribe’s ocean”.   

Aroha and the chief went to war but before that Aroha said to him “ E kore au e korero he toa toku tipuna.” And he added “ That means I would never say that my ancestors were courageous in battle”.

Aroha  and  the chief went to war! “Keritanga!” Aroha was by himself fighting with the chief for the last man standing. There would be no other way. So the war was almost beginning to become a tie. But there was only one hero to live for.

The battle had a shocking ending. The chief was killed by the hand of Aroha. So Aroha won the battle and his brother was free. The warriors went back to their tribe for good.
