In Te Maunga we had an Easter auction. We had to save money and to get that money we had to do hard work. If you didn’t finish your work you will get it taken off of you. We learnt how to do an auction and the cost of what you bought is how much money you had taken off you. We all had to work hard. My favourite part was when I bought the buttons when I got home I told my mum and ate then we all liked the auction. The highest were ten thousand and the lowest was two hundred but I had five thousand dollars. I had bought one thing and it was yum. I am in the photo here. It was cool. I learned if I did more work than talking I could have lots like those other people. I was halfway there.
Kia ora! I am a year 4-5 student in Te Maunga at Paihia School, New Zealand. My teachers are Mrs Pou and Mr Ngata.

what I did in russel
In Te Maunga we went for a swim in Russell. We learnt how to do backstroke and we did some exercise. It was cool. My favourite part about swimming was when I got in the pool. If you don’t know how to swim you should learn.

My art
Mid term this term we made art about our pepeha with our waka, maunga and awa. We colour in with pastel and then we had to write a whakatauki in our art. My favourite thing was the coloring. I still need more practice on it.
The Killer Wave
On Friday I went up to Waitangi Treaty Grounds because there was a tsunami and we all had to all go up to high ground so we could keep safe. The best part was that I got home safe and I didn’t have to do any work for the day. I should always be prepared.

The fireball
In Te Maunga we have been doing cricket with Neal and he taught us how to stand and move after you hit it. I learnt how to hold a bat. We played a game called speed cricket and if the other people catch the ball you have to take out one of the three bats. Then we did if you got caught and your team was out. Someone hit high and I caught it. We had lots of fun and if you went there in time and he threw it at the wickets you will be out but no one caught me out. I can’t wait to do it again.

In Te Maunga we have been learning about probability and I learnt that not everything is fifty fifty. I flipped a cap twenty times and it was seventeen to three.
