Turanga Health Heritage Walk

Turanga Health Heritage Walk

Last week on Friday 9th November, people from Turanga Health took my class on a heritage walk to learn about the back story of Gisborne.

1 thing I learned is that the Marina in Gisborne is called Heipipi park which is named after the kaimoana in the Marina that everyone used to eat like a Maori supermarket.

Next week we are going to Titirangi to find more info about it... stay tuned to hear about it.

Smart Surfing

At Cyber smart we were Smart Surfing and exploring the google voice.

The Little House On The Prairie Prediction

At the end of 'The Little House On The Prairie' the Ingalls family, Mary (Daughter), Laura (Daughter), Caroline (Ma), Charles (Pa), Baby Carrie and Jack (Dog) moved because they did not want to disturb or cause a war against the native Indians. While they were travelling, they came across an abandoned wagon, so they all took a look in the wagon... it was not abandoned. There were 2 adults, a woman and a man. Charles offered to help but the man and the woman refused for his help. So the Ingalls family rode away, looking for a safe place to rebuild their house. I predict that the Ingalls family will move successfully and cause no war against the Indians.

What is your prediction??

My Learning About Owls

This week I learnt that Owls don't have eyeballs, instead they have long, tube- shaped eyes. I know, it's confusing. Since Owls CANNOT turn their eye sockets, they have to turn their head 270 degrees instead. 

I felt challenged when I was trying to understand that Owls DO NOT have EYEBALLS but they have EYES.

I can improve by finding more facts about their eyes.

My Speech

Kia ora, this is my speech for the speech comp

*Sighs* I've always wanted to go to the South Island to surf, lick ice cream or just simply travel around the South island. DAD! Can we go to the South island these holidays?  WHAT!?! That’s not a good enough answer! It's either YES or NO not “We’ll see!”

Its like Parents speak their own language and expect children like me to understand what they're saying, so I translated their language as accurately as I could, *sarcastically* I even searched it up! When they shrug or say “maybe” it's a most likely, definitely a big, fat, NO. Worst one of them all, when they say “We’ll see.” They might as well just say no because nothing gonna happen.

When my Parents say all these things, I always get my hopes up and wait for them to say yes, so I ask again again and again. Then my dad sets a time of when it’s gonna happen and says: next week or next holidays. Then when the time comes, he says next week or next holidays, so whenever I ask anything, it never happens.

HA! I’ve cracked the case!! Parents can’t be bothered! They would rather just sleep in and do nothing! *sigh* not even my brother agrees! Oh, that’s right he’s about to get a new emote and level up in Fortnite, so he can’t come, oh wait we’re not going! Looks like no-one is bothered!

No wonder why parents say all these things, they want nothing to do with your question, so they propose a careless answer and then they say they have ‘plans’. Example: *clears throat* Dad, can we get McDonald’s for dinner? *deeper voice* Hmm… We’ll see! I think I have plans tonight. *sighs* I wish there was no such thing as ‘we’ll see’, I wish we could go to the South Island *sighs* my dad wishes for a million dollars l guess none of our wishes will come true.

The South Island would of been pretty, but there was no point of asking if I can go to the South Island, because it looks like we aren’t going.  Miss Armstrong, can we have ice cream after? * Miss Armstrong* “Well see!” UGH!
