What is the one thing I need to change.

Kia ora. In Te Ngahere we have been doing writing. For our writing this week we were writing about why the Paiha School pump track is special to our community. Our focus is passive voice and present tense. If you do not know what passive voice and present tense are I can explain it to you. Passive voice is not using I, me we. Here is an example. Rocks are like the bones of the earth,and water represents life. As you can see I am not using I me we. present tense is something that is present now. Here is a example for present tense Some of the descents of the early Moriori still live on rekohu. That sentence is present because of the word live. If you want to give me feedback about my writing comment down below. Here is my writing .

The best work I've ever done

Kia ora. In Te ngahere we have been doing this activity called the Steam challenge. For this Steam challenge we were making a two sheet newspaper tower. We were learning how to make a free standing paper tower with limited equipment. We were doing this Steam challenge because we wanted to see who could make the tallest tower with two sheet of newspaper and 30 cm of tape. What we had to do first was get into groups of two or three. I was with Zhynaliyah. Once we finished getting into our group and we had 20 minutes to build our paper tower. What we did first was figure out how we were going to have our tower. Next It was time to put our tower together we only had one minute and 30 seconds left but we finished just on time. Me and Zhynaliyah had the tallest tower it 118cm. What we learnt about this paper tower challenge was how to make a paper tower out of two sheets of newspaper and 30 cm of tape. What work well for my group was listening to all of our ideas, not one person's idea.What was hard for our group was Trying to make the paper because it wouldn't stand. What we did well was Working as a team and listening to all of our ideas.What could we do differently next time is make the tower stand properly.

How to keep safe when you swim

Kia ora, this week in Te Ngahere we had a swim safe lesson with Whaea Tracy. We were learning about the five rules to prepare yourself, in case you find yourself in danger. The five rules are; wear a lifejacket, YOUR safety first, tell somebody what time you’re going to be back, always have a waterproof phone or something for an emergency, check the weather before you go out and always make sure you have flares with you. Whaea Tracy said that you might not go on a boat now but there is a day you most likely will so always make sure you do this before you go out on a boat,.It could save your life or someone else’s.
