The Things I Learnt This Week

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about verbs and adverbs so when you have identified a word or phrase it can create a mood or paint a picture in your head. A verb is a doing word and a adverb is a word that describes how a verb is done I think it was a little tricky in the start but throughout the week I learnt more and more and it became easier. My buddy was Dale and we work good together we also helped each other a lot. 


Do you learn verbs and adverbs at your school?

My Day At College

In Te Ngahere on Wednesday me and the year 8s went to Bay Of Islands College for the orientation day. First we had to catch the Bay bus so it can take us, we also had to meet up at the library when we all got there. When we all met up we had some students from Bay take us around and show us the different classes. The classes we went to were metal work, woodwork, social studies, science, PE, art and maori. I think the favourite class I went to was woodwork. Here is the Bay Colleges Link


When your a year 8 are you going to the orientation day?    

Te Huarere

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about te huarere ( the weather ). We have been learning in maori how to say it’s sunny, it’s cold, it’s windy and it’s rainy. We had to get into groups of one or two so you can go off and try to make a news report in maori but first we had to make a script. My group was Chum, I think we work good together and we help each other. The thing I found hard was trying to say it in maori fast.


Have you ever made a news report?
