My haunted story

            Haunted House In Woods 

Introduction: Malo,Talofa lava and greetings
to you all. Today I wrote a story based on
paranormal things that happen and the reason
I decided to write a scary story is because I
like to watch movies and videos that freak
me out.

First: It was a scary, horrifying, spooky day
me and my friends were on our way to the
haunted house that was in the woods. But
As soon as we got there we could see that
the lights covered in cobble webs and mold
was flicking and twitching in the house as if
someone was there.

Next: As me and my friends got  to the
rusty old door I felt something windy and
cold touch my skin as I said “guys something
  just touched me” as we all freaked out
with fear the door opened with the cold
smooth wind.

Then: When we got inside the house the
door slammed with a loud ‘’BOOM’’. We tried
to open the door but it looked like we were
stuck.

We split up into groups of four because
there were only 3 rooms in the abandoned
house and then we heard something saying
‘’Danger you shouldn't be here’’. 

And with fear we all ran to the door and
tried to pull it as hard as we could but it
was no use until the window opened and we
ran as fast as we possibly could to climb out
side of it and when we made it out we ran
far away never to see that house again.

THE END.

Reflection

Kia orana, talofa lava and greeting to all you readers.

Today my class have been reflecting this term! 

As an Rm 8 Student, I have been learning so much
throughout this term. In my class I have been
blogging and sometimes taking a lot to my friends
witch distracts them from doing their  work.

In Room 8
I had lots of great experiences by blogging every
piece of work on some days. I have now realized that
blogging can be really fun if you just be creative in
some way.

Maori language week

Firstly: Last week on Friday the 13th of
September 2019 Tamaki Primary School was
celebrating Maori language week on a bright,
hot, sunny day.

Secondly: When the assembly started the
kapa haka group did a special dance to
welcome the guest to our school. After the
kapa haka group did their amazing dance we
sang the national anthem. 

Thirdly: When we sang the national anthem
it was Room 1,2,3 and Room 4 turn to do
their item. While they were doing their item
I was shocked because they danced to five
songs witch was pretty AWESOME!

In Addition: But then I was nervous,
scared and their was even butterflies
in my stomach because it was my classes
turn. When we finished the dance I was
relived and glad that it was over because
I can sometimes be shy when I am not with
my friend and family.

Tongan language week.

Firstly: Last Week it was a bright, hot sunny
day at Tamaki Primary School the 6th of
September Tamaki Primary School walked in
a line quietly to somerville hall to celebrate
Tongan language week. 

Secondly: At 11:30 we started with the
aotearoa  national anthem then the Tongan
national anthem. After singing the national
anthem’s Maria, Viola, Lily and pauliasi came
out to sing a nice, lovely song called Te u Hiki. 

Thirdly: After they sang the song Lydia
called the kia manumanui syndicate to do
that dance in front of the school and it was
AWESOME!!

Last of all: But then it was the kia toa
syndicated When we got up on the stage
I was nervous and horrified. As soon as we
finished I was relived because I finally got
to go home after a long day of practicing
and getting ready.

PWC-Banqer

Talofa lava, Kia Orana and malo lele today i will be
explaining what baqer is about.

Banqer is a app where you learn how
to make good spending choices and it also helps
kids spend their money on things they

really need NOT things that aren't
Important.

With Banqer you are able to see how
much money you have in your savings
and how much you have.

On Banqer your teachers can write things that you
have to take responsibility of like if you
use Electricity or use a pencil you have to go on
banqer and pay the things you used. (an example)

The best part of banqer is that you get to do charitable giving with means you can donate money to people who need it there are three places you can donate the money to witch are Can Teens, Heart kids and Kids can. (Another Example)

So that's what banqer is about. I hope you enjoyed my story about the website banqer Thank you so much for reading my story. 

Tivaevae

                       Tivaevae

The word tivaevae means patches.
It is pieces of material sewn
together. The Tivaevae are either
made by one woman or can create
in groups. Groups called vainetini.
The women use this time to bond,
sing and to catch up. Tivaevae are
often given on very special occasions
to important visitors, birthdays and
wedding gifs or used to cover the
body of a loved one who has died.
Tivaevae’s are often displayed during
special events like traditional hair
cuttings.

By custom, a tivaevae's value is said
to reflect by the love and patience
that the creator put into making
their stunning work of art. Cook
Island women describe their
tivaevae as being something from
the heart. Each tivaevae is unique
and different. No tivaevae is ever
the same. How you can tell the
difference is in the stitch.
My grandmother has a passion
for making, cutting and stitching
tivaevae's. She is one of the head
lady in her vainetini groups.

In our class, we made our version
of a tivaevae. This reflects us as a
class and the love and respect we
have for my culture and all of the
cook island people. 

Thank you, kia orana, Meitaki Ma’ata.

Water Pollution

Water Pollution is about water being
polluted with rubbish, oil spills and more
. Pollution causes water to become dirty and
cannot be used for drinking.  All living
things and organisms need food, water,
shelter and oxygen. Suspended matter of
pollutants that do not dissolve in water such
as substance,particles and chemicals sink to
the bottom and kills living organisms. Oil
spills may cause problems in the spill area
and can spread for many miles. Many fish
die and seabirds lose their ability to fly.

Trip To Rarotonga

Trip of the life time

 Phoebe, I can’t wait to go to Rarotonga! Turoto I
wonder what it looks like there? Eve, I wonder what

t snacks to eat on the plane.” After a while, the air
hostess announced: “can I please have all the people
going to Rarotonga at gate 22.”  My adorable grandmother
said, “quick let's grab our bags and get on the plane!.”
Phew, we made it, let's have a nap on our way because
it’s three long boring hours and hopes we would get there
safely! 

A few hours later the air hostess again said on the
loudspeaker “ladies and gentlemen, the plane landed
safely and while you are here I wish you all a fantastic
time. Besides being tired I was so desperate to meet
everyone and my grandmother was over the moon to
reunite with her relatives too. We hurried so that we
could go to papa Tu and mama Berney. 

The next day early morning my Nana woke and knocked
on my door “Eve wake up so we can go explore the
fabulous sandy beach because the sun is shining brightly
on us.” I replied with excitement Ok, I’ll come out in a
minute.” I got up to grab my bag then rushed out the door
“I’m ready to go to and survey the beaches that everyone
has been boasting about. “I just can’t wait to view it now.”
Unlike here we drove to the beach, in Rarotonga we walked
and it didn’t take long we were there already, “wow the
beach looks stunning with the gleaming glow of the tiny
white sand. I wished we have a glistening beach like that
in New Zealand. It’s was so clear like a blue sky that you
can see the tiny fish chasing each other freely. Anyway,
I’m getting a little bit hungry now and my nan and the
others said they were starving too!

So we all decided to go to the shop to get something to eat.

My nan was ready and called out “are you guys ready?”
“Yes said auntie, and at the top of my voice I yelled “yup”
because I was so dying of hunger since I have been
swimming and floating at the beach all day.“Hmm,
what should we do?.” I know we can go to the market,
“I wonder what it looks like?” From far away it looks

small compared to the market here.

We bought so much food and we all sat down at a table
eating the yummy food then went back home. I slept like a
baby until the next morning. I was very tired and fell
asleep straight away. In

addition, It is interesting that the Cook Islands has a
night

market too but they’re slightly different. The Cook
Island night market is different from the Auckland night
market because in Auckland we have the same stores but
on Cook Island, they don’t. In Auckland, we have Chinese
stores but Cook Island doesn't.

My Goals for 2019

making panikeke

Making Keke

Last week On a bright, steaming hot day Room 8 successfully made
some yummy small round panikeke with sugar, flour,
yeast, warm water, baking powder and milk powder. First went down
to the hall to make panikeke. First we grabbed a small cup
and poured two cups of warm water and two cups of milk. Then we
added one cup of brown sugar and three teaspoons of yeast.
After that Mrs. Tafea stirred it all together and left it there until the
yeast was ready. Next we got a big bowl and measured 12
cups of flour and then we added 12 teaspoons of baking powder.  Then
we mixed the wet and dry ingredients together Then we
covered the bowl with a white cloth and left it there until the mixture
started rising. Finally we got to cook the panikeke and
janine put one big pot on the steaming hot oven and poured one bottle
of canola oil on it. When it the oil started bubbling
Mrs. Tafea
took a handful of the mixture and put it onto the hot steaming oil so
it can cook. She repeated the same thing until all the dough
was gone. At last we got to enjoy the round brown sweet panikeke.
It was hot,moist and delicious.

The hare and the tortoise

Once upon a time in aForest was a blue, fluffy hare who always gossiped about being the fastest than the other animals. One day there was a kind, intelligent, brave, tortoise walking by with a strong brown shell on its back. The haer saw the tortoise and started to mock it because of its slowness, after a while the tortoise looked at the haer and said “I’ll challenge you to a race” and the hare said ok deal” so they both walked to the race track and the race began. 3.2.1 GO!! So off they ran. Taking first place was the fluffy, blue hare. A few moments later the haer saw a big, enormous, tall tree and decided to have a little nap while the tortoise was still making its way. 10 minutes later the tortoise went passed the haer and carried on walking to the finish line. Then he ofishally finally reached the end of the race and then other animals saw him and started to cheer loudly and accidentally woke the hare up. So the haer woke up and ran as fast as it could but it was too late because the tortoise had already won because.SLOW AND STEADY WINS!!
