Dear Santa

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Latu and I am 8 years old. I just hope you are rested up from delivering presents last year. I just want you to know that I have been good this year. I have been listening to my parents.

This year I would really really like new shoes for school and legos and a doll I want to start a collection.

Thank you Santa Claus for the presents that you gave me last year and say hello to the reindeer for me. 

Love Latu.

about electricity

Energy save’s light buble’s

Light buble’s are very important.

 ELectricity save’s power.

Chemical energy helps you.

Turn off everything when you don’t need it.

Run and find someone with power.

I always turn off the tv every night.

Current static.

I don’t like to keep all of the power on.

Turn off lights so you can use it everyday.

You need to save power in your house.

Power save  electricity and power lines.

Outside everybody uses electricity.

We save power by turning off all the power.

Electricity is the same as power.

Run and find someone with power.

Things I Use Throughout the day

Usually when I wake up in the morning I eat breakfast first. After that I go to the sink and brush my teeth then  I use the microwave warm food. Next I watch TV while waiting until the clock hits 9:00 and then I hop in the car.

My mum drives me to school. When I get to school I use the lights to see properly in class. Next I use my chromebook and my to work on my chromebook and to use my charger every time it is dead. 


In the evening I use the toilet sometimes at school when I need to go to the toilet. Then I go home and go in the car to pick my little sister up from school. Then I played outside and played with Kanesha and sister and brother. After that my mum called me. To go inside and go for a shower when I finished showering I watched tv and then I went to sleep.

Howick Historical Village

Yesterday Room 9 and Room 4 and Room 5 went on a trip to Howick Historical Village. We hopped on the bus. When we got there the first we did was to play with the toys that the kids played with when they were on the boat sailing to  New Zealand from England but the problem was that there were no toys that could fit in the box because they had to take what they needed to make the village beautiful so that they can be warm and comfy. After that we had our lunch we played a little game. So after playing games we went to the old school that the kids learnt at school. We saw lots of toys on the mat. We played with all the toys. After that we played a game.  When we finished they told us how they use electricity in 1850s. They didn’t have electricity or phones in the 1850s. Then after all that, we lined up in 3 lines. 1 line went with Willam’s mum, the 2nd line went with Ezra’s mum and the last line went with miss smith. We were all going to look at the houses and play with toys. My favourite part was looking at the hen’s and the ducks even 1 bunny. It was very fun at Howick Historical Village.

Catch it!

 In the long desert there lived meerkats. One meerkat woke up then fell asleep. He woke all the meerkats up so they can go outside to look at the fruit. After an hour, this hawk came to eat the fruit. So the hawk took the fruit and all the meerkats worked together to get the fruit back. Then they started to fight, so they were hanging onto the hawks feet while it was flying. All of them hung onto each others legs so they could get the fruit. They tried and tried, then they got it back from the hawk! So they. Played rugby with it then one meerkat kicked the fruit then it cracked open then they were very upset they lost their fruit!

I can see these smells runs through the whole place. I feel so so happy to be there and these smells makes me confident because. I feel happy about the whole place.

rata me te rakau rata and the tree

I have been reading the book 'Rata me te rakau - Rata and the tree.' I hope you like my retelling of the story.

"Long ago there lived a man called Rata. He needs to make a big waka for his people so they can be safe because there was a storm coming. So Rata started to look for a long tree that was tall and straight to make a big waka. He was looking and looking for a tree and he finally found the perfect tree. He started chopping and chopping till it fell down.

The next day he came back to the forest and he couldn’t believe his eyes! The tree was straight and tall again. He started chopping again. Then the next day he came back to the forest and he saw the tree straight and tall AGAIN. He he was angry. He pretended to leave but came back to hide in the bushes to see who was putting the tree back. He saw lots of insects and birds came out of the treetops and bushes.  They started to put the tree back together. Rata said “why are you doing this?”. They said its because you never thanked the forest. Rata apologised and said he was thinking with his head, not his heart.

The next day, Rata saw the insects and birds making big waka for Rata. He was thanking the insects and the birds for doing this for him. 

So he went to the village with the waka and he saved the people. The people were happy that they were safe and Rata promised to always thank the forest when he needs something".

Immigration

In class we have been learning about immigration. Here are some positives and negatives of immigration.

Eating The Rainbow

I used google draw to create a poster about different colour veggies and fruits.

Identity

My name is Latu Lisala-Moli and I am 8 years old. I was born in NZ but I am so proud to be a Tongan. My dad and mum are full Tongan. My dad’s name is Mikiloni Lisala-Moli and my mum’s name is Oliveia Lisala-Moli. I have two brothers and two sisters. Malo e lelei means hello and alu’a means goodbye. 

Our tongan traditions are valuable because kids need to respect their parents and obey them. 

I speak tongan and english at home and this is the Tongan flag.

Kitchen Safety

We have been learning about how to be safe in the kitchen. I used google draw to create a poster about kitchen safety tips!

Vodafone Event Centre

On Monday, room nine went for a trip to the Vodafone Event Centre to look at stories from New Zealand authors, illustrators and learn about what we don’t know about reading and writing stories.

My favourite part was when they started to fight on stage like Vikings use too and the What Now people were filming us on television. 

There were others talking about lots of stories and things and they were filming us when we were eating our lunch. 

We went back inside to listen to other stories. There were some really cool stories and I enjoyed them.

 After that we went back in the bus and we went back to school and off home. I had fun at the Vodafone Event Centre. I can’t wait for my next visit.

Te Oro

Today the senior school went to a trip called Te Oro to see The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate and the little kids were there from the kindy too. 

We saw a cow shaking it’s bottom and some people laughed because it was funny. My favourite part was the cow because it was shaking it’s bottom and making funny noises. 

Then this girl came like a pirate and the girl was moving because the water was moving and my other favourite part was that man who looked like a girl. 

We had fun in the end because we got to dance. 

Thank you Te Oro for giving us the gift a seat and thank you  for having us here. I had fun at Te Oro.
