Under the Wires

 Hey bloggers it is me Paige again.

On Wednesday the 14th of April the whole of Te Waka Ako had to be under the wires for the day so what I mean by that is that well there was string or twine around the legs of the tables and chairs and well you guested it we had to be under the trenches for the WHOLE DAY! And so what the rules were was you had to stay under the strings and if you pocked your head above the strings well you got shot by a Nerf gun oh and the people with the Nerf guns were well the TEACHERS! all of my friends and me asked them if they wanted a cookie so that they would not shoot us but they said no I also asked them if I could have there gun but well they said no again.When we had got in the trenches we had to do a basic facts graph but... There were gun noises and that to distract us from our work! Why they do that I don't know any way here are some of the things we did in that day! 

We did a Picture Dictation here is mine

We also had to write a letter to our family from the trenches 

Dear Family 

It has been a really ruff day today. How are you? I am missing you here in the trenches.Also I am starting to get sick of this food! Well our food is bread crumbs and dust. I hope your OK because right now I have cuts and grazes all over me.

It is very frustrating here not being able to see you. You know your really lucky that you aren't in a pile of dirt. Also Lincoln is in the opposite trench but we can't fight each other. I have to go now! Hope to hear back from you soon

Jonty And Choc

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

In class we have been reading a story called: Jonty And Choc by Vince Ford for teacher read. It is about two boys that are friends, one is Maori and the other is English. This story talks about how they are friends and why it is important to not judge people by there culture. In chapter 1 it also talks about how they met. In chapter 2 it talks about them moving to intermediate and how there friendship might change. In chapter 3 it talks about them finding a lump of sandy stuff and they try to find out what it is. I am not going to tell you about all the chapters though because there is 28 chapters, but at the end it talks about them having a fight because Jonty broke in to Chocs house. Any way we then did 3 activity's 1 of them was well this blog and the other two I will show you .

So first we did a personal response

and we then did a close exercise 

here are the links for both of them 

1. Personal Response

2. Close Exercise
