My Time on Planet Venus

Dear, Mum, and Dad I am having a great time on Venus. You're probably wondering why I went to Venus, I went to Venus is because I am crazy and I want to explore a new world, The Solar System. I love it because it is Winter in your world but on Venus, it is warm but hot at the same time.

 Maybe on the day, you should come along with me because on Earth there's Climate Change and I don’t want New Zealand or other Pacific countries to be flooded underwater.

Venus is kind of boring there's no electricity and Mcdonalds or fast food places But most importantly is that there is no real food Sometimes I get angry because we always have to eat plain space food. On Venus, my favorite space food is space candy. In space, I love jumping high in the glowing galaxy.

I want to stay but at the same time, I want to come home and swim.

Did you know that the planet is named for Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty and Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system except for the sun.

Venus is the only planet in the Solar System to be named after a female figure.

I Miss you and the whole family

Yours sincerely, Elina xoxo

Martin Luther King Jr movie

This is our Movie about Martin Luther King Jr. We created a movie about him is because he is an Unsung hero.

Whetu and Nick Show

When I went to school I was full of excitement and I was waiting for my friends. I was jumping around while full of excitement. When my friends came it was finally time to go on the bus. As I was walking into the bus I saw my buddy Tiare. When we sat down we started singing with the years 7 and 8 's. While I was singing I forgot that we were going to the Manukau Vodafone Event Centre. When we got there I didn’t expect that there were going to be collages there. When I was looking outside I was amazed at the view. The story was about a British boy named Nick and a Maori girl called Whetu. In the first part, they met and Whetu thought Nick was a threat to her country. Then they became friends. Nick was kind of afraid of her. When they first met they bonded together. Nick spoke English, and Whetu spoke Maori. I didn’t understand Maori. The main part was when Whetu and Nick were looking for the map and Whetu’s kite called the Manu tukutuku. The best part was when Nick’s shin was bleeding from the tuatara attack. It was funny because he was scared and screaming. The whole audience was laughing. I felt sad when the ship went away because Nick couldn’t go back home to Britain to see his family and friends. My favorite part was when Whetu was singing and Nick was sleeping. I didn’t know if Whetu just spoke Maori or English at the beginning. I loved the special effects used. The stage and the lighting were impressive. My favorite effect was the colorful lighting. When the show finished, we met the actors and took photographs with them. Then we headed to the bus. I then sat down with my buddy Tiare and sang songs together. While I was on the bus I was thinking about the show. When I was watching I felt happy and excited. I loved the show, and it made me wonder how they made the backdrop. Did they make it all together or did the staging department make the backdrop.

My Holiday

Heart Map 

Writing Holiday

As I was watching TV my Mum told me to get up and get dressed.
When I finished getting dressed we went to the car, drove to Puhoi
to pick up my Dad. While I was  in the car I was wondering where
we were going, so I asked my mother. She said “We are going to
town to ugly hotdogs”. 

After that Karla said “We are going to Ugly Hotdogs”. They sell
Mozzarella sticks. As we arrived in town we saw the ice skating
stage and I didn’t know that there was going to be a little mini night
market in front of the ice skating stage. Then we saw in the middle
Ugly Hotdogs. While I was looking at the menu, I wanted to buy
two Hotdogs and two scoops of Hot Chips. Karla had the Nacho
Cheese  Mozzarella stick, and I had a normal Mozzarella Cheese
Stick.

When we ate our Mozzarella sticks. I was amazed with the taste,
I loved them. They were like a dream.

As we finished our Ugly Hotdogs we went to Time Out and that's
where the arcade games were. My favourite arcade game was the
Basketball game and my least favourite was the shooting game,
where you had to shoot at scary animals like snakes, spiders and
dragons. 

After going to TimeOut, we went to Aqua (the ice cream shop).
My Mum asked me to go and check if it was open. I went to check
and I was so happy. It was open. Aqua is popular because they
have delicious ice cream and they put cotton candy around them.
I had two half scoop ice cream. My first flavour was strawberry
tart and my second flavour was blue taro. The flavours were very
exotic. My ice cream had a rich flavour, it tasted like vanilla with
a little bit of sour.

While we were eating our ice cream we were playing at the park.

 When we finished our ice cream, we went Puhoi passed the Harbour
Bridge to Puhoi to drop off my Dad, then we went home.

My Enlargement Super Hero Art

Enlargement Super Hero Art

          What did you accomplish?

I accomplished making accurate measurements,  following
the grid lines and creating an enlarged picture

Are you satisfied with your Super Hero enlargement?
Why / Why not?

Yes, I'm satisfied with my painting/drawing because  I
liked how I blended three colours together.

What did you find easy when you created your SuperHero
enlargement?

I found outlining the drawing easy because I didn’t need
to use the gridlines. I also found painting and blending the
colours easy.

What did you find challenging when you were creating your
SuperHero enlargement?

I found drawing the lines on the Spiderman costume  
challenging.

What do you need to work on?

I think I need to work on the leg on the right side and
make it bigger.

   What would you change with your Super Hero enlargement?

I would change the lines on the face and make them look
more real.

What would you do next time to improve superhero
enlargement?

I would try to make all the body parts the same size next
time and to follow the gridlines more accurately. I realise
this became a Maths task rather than an art task.

Auckland, New Zealand and is full Samoan. She has two older
brothers and one younger sister and her parents are Mika and

watch Netflix, read and watch the news.

Bruno. She loved and cared for the dog. Fifteen years later,
sadly the dog passed away. In 2005 my sister Karla was born.
My Mum had her first child. Five years later in 2010, I was born.

MOTAT Recount

Our time at MOTAT By Elina

As the teacher came and called our group we went to the fire
station and we saw some fire cars with the village. We took
part in a scavenger hunt. It was easy. We were the first ones
to find the egg, and the fire place. The group leader said we
should have ditched the scavenger hunt and go to the
trampoline.

We went to the School and we had to look for for some
objects such as pencils and books. The funniest thing was
that every single kid was standing next to the tables. Everyone
was singing the national anthem in Maori and English.

Then we went in the church. We saw chairs. There was this
lectern that had an eagle carved at the front of it. It was cool.

We looked behind us and we saw a sign that talked about the
church and the priest.

When we went into the inventors room we saw some
trampolines but it was locked. Then we found out after a while
that it was unlocked. We were jealous because we didn’t have
a turn. Then we went to where the old telephones were.
Lots of children were pretending to call strangers.

When I was on the telephone I was pretending to call the
police, and random old phone numbers. Every time I called a
random number it would beep. It was boring to hear a beep.
If we called strangers then we would have pranked called them.

Then we went passed the selfie machine. We saw children
taking selfies on the machine. It was projected on the board.

Then we had lunch it was delicious. Now for the fun part.
We had a tram ride. I was confused by the name of it. I
thought it was a train but people called it back in the days a
tram. I didn’t know tram rides even existed. I now know that
tram rides at MOTAT exist.

When we went on the tram we saw a bunch of ducks and
birds. I saw a woman feeding the ducks and birds. The person
that was driving the tram was called Rob. He said to the lady
that she was not allowed to feed to the birds and ducks.
Everyone was looking. As we continued on we stopped at
MOTAT 2. We got out of the tram. Rob taught us how to start
the tram.

Then we went back inside the tram. Rob said again “Ladies
first”. All the girls went in and picked their spots on board the
tram. Nearly all of the girls filled up their spots because there
were too many girls including me.

As we were going back we saw two pukekos running around.
They looked liked baby pukekos.

Then we went to the Pump house. It was boring because
there wasn’t anything interesting. There was only old stuff that
had smoke coming out of it.

As we went with Kent to the classroom we had to learn about
airplanes, and experiments. The first experiment I did was the
one where you had to pour water put into a cup and put a
piece of paper on top. I put my hand on

it and flipped it upside down. The paper wasn’t dropping.

The next experiment was to make the plastic ball float. The
first thing I did was to put the plastic ball into the cup and put
a blow dryer on top.

The other experiment I had to do was twist a stick sideways
and aim for the  target.

The best experiment was the one where you had to make a
tiny plane and put it in a wind machine. I was hoping my
plane flew high, but unfortunately it didn’t fly at all because
it was too heavy.

Then we went back to the bus and went back to school.
After school I had a chat to my Mum. I said to her that there
were different things. There used to be a mirror maze and a
sound room. Sadly they are not there anymore. Apart from
this I had a fun action packed day at MOTAT.
