My first day at school

Today we had 40 minutes to write about our first day of school. From looking at our writing we are going to set some writing goals for the term.

While I was sleeping my mum woke me up to get ready for my first day at school. I was so excited to go to school so I went in the car and went off to school. When I got to school I was nervous to go my class so my mum left and I went in room 3 and I said hi to the teacher her name was Mrs George. I hook my school bag on a hanger and sat down with the class waiting until playtime so I can make some new friends.

When the bell rang I didn't know what was happening so I went to the teacher and said what are we doing and she said it's playtime so I walk to my bag and got out my lunch and sat down outside next to the door. While I was eating my lunch I heard a bell that rang and everyone got up and ran. I got up and walk to the playground and play with all the kids but then these 4 boys came up to me and ask if I wanted to play with them and I said yes so we play tiggy on the playground.

When we got tired playing the bell rang and we all ran to the classroom. I wasn't feeling shy because I had knew some of the people at school.         

Where I'm from

Where I’m from I can see the birds flying and gliding beach when I walk outside

I can smell saltwater from the beach from far away

I also can hear kids playing and bombing in the seawater

When I walk down to the beach the heat from the sun burns my skin like a oven

The sand is like a smooth blanket when I lie down on the sand

Where I’m from I heard the whistling wind blowing the trees

I see people playing rugby and having races up the street

I like my home because I play touch outside with my friends

My hands feel like they were wrinkles after While washing the dishes

    

Movie reflection

Last week on Monday B2 rotated to the creative stand in the street. I like the creative stand because i like filming people and doing animations but I kind of don’t like planning that much. I made a short movie about the first man on the moon and it is 1 min and 14sec long. James worked hard on the animation and i was doing the planning and the voice over. The planning was hard for me because I got mixed up so Logan helped me with the planning and the voice over too.

Kane prize giving

“Yay its Saturday I said to myself” I woke up and got ready for my prize giving. I hopped in the car and put on my seatbelt and waited for my Dad to come so we can go early to get and parking spot. While waiting in the car I was so excited to go and get a trophy and met all my friends there. My Dad hopped in the car and put the key in and drove to potaua house to pick him up.

When we got there potaua came outside and jump in the car with us to go to the prize giving. After that we park up next to the marist club and hopped out and went inside the club room. We walk up the step and went through the door and sat down with my rugby team on the floor. A man called hamisan walk up on the stage and called all the team players up to get there trophy.

He called out everyone but then it was our turn to go up and get our trophy and medal. When he called out the named he called the people who got the trophy but I only got and medal but i didn't really care. When he called out the named we went to go and set down on the ground. After that we all went outside and went home and had a rest.

Kane springbok tour protest

Walking down the street marching and saying 1,2,3,4 we don’t want no racist tour as we were walking I was holding on to my sign tight. In 1981 people were protesting the people that were playing rugby games and some people were swearing at the players. The protesters march down to the game and broke the fence and throw smoke bomb on the field. People were holding signs and walking on the street but the police were wearing black helmet, holding a shield and holding a bat too.

The protesters were protesting the players and they were walking in a big massive group. They were yelling remember soweto remember.

In 1963 Martin Luther King had a speech it was called I have a dream. He had a dream to

help people go to the same school. Also that they can go on the same bus but they had to sit in the back of the bus and if the bus was full one of the black people have to give up their spot. There were more black people that were poor and lived in poverty, but lots of the white people lived in prosperity.   

P2

Martin Luther Kings first job was being a lawyer, Next his other job was being a minister. But he was most famous for fighting for equality for the blacks. Did you know that when he was signing books he was stabbed on the back? He went to jail for a short time. He went to jail because tax and traffic offences, they tried to find something what he did wrong so he can go jail. Did you also know that his house was filled with C4 and got destroyed. He got assassinated

In a america there were less black people and more white people back then. Martin Luther King was fighting for equality between white people and black people. The black people could vote but they made it really difficult for them. Martin Luther King would be happy if he was here right now, because of Barack Obama being the president of the U.S.A.

P4

Martin Luther King made the most wonderful speech in America. His speech inspired many many people around the country. His speech was about bringing peace between Black and White people, also making everything equil. He wanted the black people and white to set together in the bus and go together in the same school.
