WALT-we are learning to describe ourselves to others

All About Me…….

hello my name is Karanui, but you can just call me Kara. I am a year five at Paparore School. My favourite food would have to be Spanish omelette,  it's delicious. I love  my pet dog and his name is Bolt. he does heaps of tricks like roll over, play dead and the best thing about it is I am his  owner. my favourite game would be gacha life because you get to meet new animals and exotic plants and people. My friends are Hazel because she is a real jaguar, she is faster than me. Kassidie because she helps me snap out of stuff i don't need to know or do. Bobby because she makes me smile. Rynelle because she makes me laugh. And Liv because she Is helpful. When I am older I want to be just like my mum because she is nice, helpful and best of all, rich. I wish i had a tree house two bean bags and a small coffee table so we could have heaps of tea with Tim Tams. my hobby would be baking chocolate cakes and Spanish omelette, delicious! thank you very much for reading all about me!!!

It was easy because it was about me.

 What do you like about me?

Waitangi day

WALT-We Are Learning about Waitangi day

My Holiday

On the holidays I had a playdate with my bestest friend ever Hazel. First we had to go and pick her up. Straight away we went to Posties.Then we had to go and grab lunch at Indian Spice we ordered butter chicken with naan bread it was going to be delicious. We took it to the park and ate it Me and Hazel were playing lava boots. When we had a little play we went to Te Ahu and we were watching The Amazing Spider-Verse me and Hazel got the front seats to see all the action  We also bought a paddle pop ice cream, a bag of skittles m&ms and pineapple lumps. When the movie was done I wanted to watch it all day long because it was so cool. Mum said, “Do you want to go the lake?” I said “ok.” Then we spent three whole hours it felt fun. We went home early though because I wanted to show Hazel around our house . When we had to drop her off me and Hazel snuck into her room and started playing around while our mums were talking and drinking tea.  When my mum said time to go I ran under the bed. I did not want to go home but I had to so I said bye and went home. That day went fast.

Koro and the TANIWHA

WALT- Retell the story of Koro and the taniwha.

I liked when Koro kept tricking the taniwha.

Koro finally knocked all the pigeons out of their tree and quickly paddled home. Half way across the huge lake there was a line of bubbles following up behind him. ROAR!!! said the taniwha. Now I shall eat you. Koro was so scared he had no weapon to use only a paddle so bravely he put the paddle in the taniwha’s mouth.

Wooden arms

WALT- Use information to describe a setting in the story wooden arms.

I LOVED it when the settings kept changing.

The whare stood broken down in the street ,surrounded by huge buildings 3 times its size.Squished in the of a gigantic city heaps of people went to wooden arms they were all shadows.wooden arms was the tinest building out of them all.
