Cafe Day

 CAFE DAY

On Thursday 1st of November our combined class held a Cafe day for last term's focus which was ‘Actions Speak  Louder than Words'. Actions Speak Louder than words means don't just think about doing it, just do it. We decided to have a cafe day so elderly could come in and enjoy a cup of tea and some baking for free. Any ways into my writing...

Finally, the day is here, as I walked up the ramp the morning air swayed in my face. I entered the hall, table cloths hung from tables, an awesome display of photos stood out on the wall, food glanced into the people's eyes, while coffee smoked up in the kitchen.

Guest started arriving, butterflies went off in my stomach. I started thinking about the down things like cracking my voice when I sing or dropping coffee, when I should of been thinking about the good things. Performers show up. As the elderly enjoyed their food, kids from MLH ( Moana Learning Hub) showed their talents in the performances. A few moments later it turned up to be me and my friend Kohine's turn. We went up to the stage and quickly grabbed our ukuleles. Our song is called ‘Tiaho Maira’. First strum, my head went spinning crazy imagine everyone in the room staring into your soul. We sang nervously but at the same time with confidence.

Chaos died down as there were less dishes to wash and gather. We began to tidy up and take all the tables back to the class in the rain and the take the baking back to the staffroom. It was such a fun day getting to know the elderly and doing something for the community. Now it was over and back to the class we went.

Alliteration poem

A couple of weeks ago we made these Alliteration poem in a writing WS. Koka Ngaire wrote every letter in the ABC's and we had to pick out of a container. I got the letter G so I had to come up with names and animal that start with G, I tried to get as many words starting with G. We created these poems for little kids in in room 9.

Quick write

Hello welcome back to my blog  I will be sharing with you one of my new quick writes...
There was a lot of noise coming from the kitchen... cautiously I creeped to the fridge, I quickly slammed the fridge door shut and...

''I'm telling on you!'' I screamed from the top of my lungs. I swear I probably woke up the whole town. 
"Nothing!" she nervously shot back. Chocolate covered her mouth... My chocolate. 
''Mum! Waelyn's eating my chocolate!''

I had a smug look on my face. The look that will get her in trouble.

Quick write

Hello again,
It has been a while since I have posted another blog post so today I will be sharing with you one of my favourite quick writes I have done... we are given the sentence starter and we have to carry it on.

The light filtered through the trees as... Birds sung away. Trenching down on to the sand, waves crashed up on to the beach, as the afternoon air blew in my face. Step by step it felt like paradise. The sun glistened on the waves bouncing back into my eyes. Palm trees covered over me like skyscrapers. The sand felt like little sprinkles invading over my feet. The water slowly washed up on my feet, washing the sand off.
