LEXIA READING CORE 5

A few students from Room 9 do lexia core5.

Lexia is a reading activity it helps with spelling & reading.

Lexia is an excellent way to improve your spelling & reading strategies and it is a great way to learn.

I enjoy having to do lexia because it isn't that hard + it's fun.

NZ Flag Design

Name of design Te kaponga o Aotearoa - Whero

Designed by: Nathaniel Alcorn from Auckland

From : Auckland

To me this flag is different to lots of other flags.

This flag design inspires me because the flag is basically half maori flag ,half silver fern flag ,and half existing  NZ flag.

Skating On Thin Ice

Skating On Thin Ice

Skating on thin ice has two meanings. 1 meaning is actually skating on thin ice.

Another meaning is ...

2.  When you do something awesome but turns out to be a disaster.   

For an a example if you slid your foot on a deck and you got a piece of wood stuck in your foot. At the start it would of been fun but when you get the wood in your foot it wouldn't.

Well that is what happened to me.
Would you do this I don't think so

Sky, Stars and Nature

Watching the twinkly night sky,

Watching the glowing stars.

Caring for animals,

Caring for nature,

Helping nature, 
Do things right. 
I like being kind and doing things right.

The Wishing Star

The Wishing Star

Wishing on a star so beautiful

and shiny. Wishing for spaghetti to keep me company. I like spaghetti it is yummy isn’t it       Until…

it started raining spaghetti “ YAY” goes the town.   “Crystal, Hymani, Hazel dinner time. We are going to have sausages, ice cream and bananas this week and next week we are going to have lollipops, whip cream and chicken,” I said.  “OH NO THERE'S A FLOOD! A SPAGHETTI FLOOD!!!” the town cried. I quickly wished for all of this to go back to normal but it wouldn’t. “What are you doing”? cried Mum and Dad. “I’m tring to wish on a star for all of this to go away”. “But darling you can’t,” Mum sadly answered. “Yes you can, I’ll show you”. I wished again and it worked.

Two days later   

everything was under my hands because I am magical.

Anzac Poppy

Fragile red

like blooms of rubies ,

petals dripping with blood, clear air,

blowing on a delicate jewel,

like the last glowing star.

Longest Place Name In New Zealand

Room 9 has been talking about the longest place name in NZ. We found out the place is in Hawkes Bay. I would like to show you the info I found.

1. 'Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu' is the longest place name in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records and a famous photo destination for visitors to Hawke's Bay.

2. Tamatea was a famous chief and warrior. One day, while travelling through the back of Porangahau, he encountered another tribe and had to fight them to get past. During the fight his brother was killed. Tamatea was so grieved over the loss of his brother that he stayed at the battle site for some days. Each morning he would sit on the hill and play a lament on what is called the koauau or Maori flute.

Look at the picture theres 85 letters in the name

I'ts sooooo long

New Zealand Vs Bangladesh

Sitting, sweating and burning in Seddon Park, waiting for the magic to reach me. Tick, tock, tick, tock……….uhhhh!!

Until my teeth started shivering, my feet started tapping, on the ground,  my body started shaking. I think the magic's coming.

My face is red. This is it he whacks the magic, it's coming my way.

 I did it, I really did it, I just won thousands of $dollars$. I’m so proud of myself, it's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I feel like a millionaire AWESOME.
