Te oro

Today some people from each class went to Te oro. When we got there we saw lots of papers with lots of strings and flowers, In the first room we went in we saw a project there was a bottle and they stabbed two wooden spoons and they said they were going to put bird seeds on it and leave it outside. They also said that that they wood cheek on it every day so they can fill it up and they can attracted more birds around NZ. When we went in the next room we saw lots of things about Omar creek and lots of plants we saw a vinse  fly trap and it was so small but its teeth looked like knives. After a while we got to go down stairs we saw some girls from Tamaki college they showed us different flags from different country like Samoa Fiji and lots of other flags to. Then we went into the thiter to watch the kapa haka it was really cool. I loved all the songs that they played it was nice then we had to run back to the bus in the rain. My favourite thing about our trip was the kapa haka group.I had the best time at Te oro it was really fun.

Saving Fish

This week we are reading about fish. We learned that if you go fishing and you get a really big fish put it back in the water because it might have babies and if it has babies there will be more fish in the water when you come back.

A Work Of Art

As a part of Te Taiao o Tamaki our two reading groups red a play about an artist that made an instillation out of rubbish. But some people thought it was rubbish and put it in there sacks, and we thought that it would be fun to make a sky tower.

River Talks

Last week on Thursday  room 11 & 12 went to the river talks at Omar creek. At Omar creek I saw lots of my cousins from different  schools. There were 2 people one was trying to make a fire  and the other one was lying down. It was really creepy because  it kind of looked like she was dead.


Just then we all heard someone talking we did not know who it was. Then he came walking up the creek and we realised it was After a while we had to move around the creek so the little people will have Tamti. When
he came out of the yuck smelly creek I realise that he had some paint on his face it was an animal but I forgot what it was.


Before long we had to move again and we saw two ladies they said that they went into the creek  and got some water from the top of the creek and it was clean. But when they got some water from the bottom and it was so dirty. They talked  about how the bushes and trees protect the water from getting dirty. Because the trees and the bushes keep the dirt away.



After some time we went to sit on the itchy grass and there was a man that was  talking to us about fishes and eels. There was a towel around the fishes and eels.At  first  I didn’t know what it was and he took the towel off and we all saw that it was an eels and fish and the man said any question and one person said is that an elettrici eel.The man said no it's not and he put the towel back on it.



Eventually we moved to the cook island drummers . We  sat on mats and we listened to the drums and they said if you want to dance you can come up the front and dance. They picked some people to dance from different schools after they danced we went back to class. I really enjoyed my time at the river talks I hope I get to go next year.
