Hi my name is Tauwhare. I am 10 years old. I was born in New Zealand Aotearoa. Aotearoa is the Moari name for New Zealand. I go to Pt England School. Did you know that I have the best Principal ever. His name is Mr Burt. I am in Room Sixteen, and I have a teacher named Mr Somerville he is a awesome teacher to learn with. Having a awesome teacher like Mr Somerville is really cool. When people is feeling down Mr Somerville would help them out, then the next thing you know , theres a smile on that persons face, because of Mr Somerville made them happy.

Around school I have friends named Te Rina and Lola. At morning tea and lunch time Te Rina, Lola and myself would look for a good spot to relax. So as we are relaxing we will talk about our selfs. As the day goes on we will have a awesome time together and even in class, we will have a even better time with class mates and with Mr Somerville. Having a School like this and a principal who run this school is great. So then it gets to the end of the day. Then as the time hits 3:00pm there goes the bell. Then their I go with my bag on my back and out the door. So that my life about school.

Camp Benzon

2011-11-21T09:53:00.006+13:00

After getting all the bags off the Ferry, Benzon, Mansion, Kawau and Katz sat down to meet Peter and Erin on a hard rocky ground. After Peter and Erin introduce themselfs we had the biggest walk ever. Then we got to this flash beach that had a house on it. When we were going back, we had to walk up the hill and down the hill to go back home. When we got back we had to carry all of our gear up to our cabins. Finding our room was really hard. But then we found our room, we sorted out our beds, Andrea, Dante, Lola, Te Rina and me made our beds and then we had Free Time. Free Time... Te Rina, lola and me went up steers to our cabin and lade on our beds. Then we got board and went down steers and played with our friends.When Mr Jacobson blowed the bugle, Benzon, Mansion, Kawau and Katz sat down on the deck. Miss Garden Told all of us what we were doing. "We are just about to have dinner, so is there anybody who would like to say the grace so we could bless our food". So then someone stood up and showed respect and blessed the food.
Dinner Time. For Dinner we had Potato,peas and chicken. Yummy. Lola, Te Rina and me said Thank You to Mr Coop for dinner. Then we had pudding, for pudding we had Ice-Cream, Apple Crumble, Jelly, Custard and Fruit Salad. After that we brush our teeth, got into our PJs and went to sleep. SWEET-DREAMS EVERYBODY

GOOD NIGHT!!!

Jupiter

2011-11-04T12:55:00.004+13:00

One day I wished if I could fly to space and land on a planet. One night I had a dream of going to Jupiter with my friends, TeRina and Lola. We zoomed up into space in a Rocket and landed on Jupiter. WOW... This is an bizarre planet. I asked Lola and TeRina if Jupiter is the biggest planet in space. "YES," they both replyed back.
Is Jupiter always this colour. Puting one step on Jupiter it felt like I was stepping on hard rock. I was wondering if any one has being on Jupiter before beside Lola, TeRina and me. Hmmmmmm, "What are you doing Tauwhare," asked TeRina. Nothing, just thinking what would it look like if we saw green and purple aliens on this Planet. "I don't know" said TeRina.

Lola said "Look Guys," looking worried. "What," we both said. "There is a big, fat and ugly Monster," We all ran on Jupiter which was hard. Getting use to it was really difficult. Stepping on the craters felt like a comet has just hit Jupiter. "We have lost the ugly beast" TeRina said. "We are so lucking" Lola Replyed.

"Now what are we going to do." TeRina said. "I wont to go home," Lola said. "We don't know our way back to the rocket," I said. We were thinking for a while. Then TeRina came up with a plan. "Lets all go together, Lola will distract the monster, then after that we will all run to the rocket hop in it then, fly back to earth" Sighed Te Rina. "But how would we know our way back," I asked. "Follow our foot-prints," Replied TeRina.

We found the rocket hop in it and flew back to earth. Wake up Tauwhare Get ready for school. I got to school and told everyone about my dream. I wish I could have another dream like that again.

The End

Air Port

2011-10-28T12:41:00.001+13:00

In the holidays I went to the Airport to drop off my niece so she could go with her school, to fly to Singapore. As we got there we saw her teacher and her school mates. When we went inside we went up the stairs and had McDonald's and had a feed. After that we wished them good luck and have a safe trip to Singapore. Then as soon as they went out the door we went up the stairs to watch them go. As we got up there they were leaving. BBBBBYYYYYEEEE we all said. Love you.

Hope they had a great flight!

Welcome back to School

2011-10-28T10:25:00.002+13:00

On Tuesday it was the first day of school. Waiting anxiously inline we were lined up ready to go in to the hall. As I sat down beside Te Rina I saw the teachers dressed-up in funny and crazy costumes. As we were waiting for the exiting moment Mr Burt said give it up for Team 1. Team 1 had a movie about the SUN. It showed how they were cold and how they had an idea of making a sun and had an idea of painting it and decorating it. Then they lade it out on the footparth. and lade beside it. We gave them a round of applause.

My Favorite Team was, Team 4 because they were talking about the stars.. I think that Mr Somerville had the crazy dress-up. But did you know that it looked like Mr Somerville was playing the Guitars for real. I liked it how they had balleriners in it and the video with it too. But I think it had the best proformers ever.

And my most exciting one was Team 5 because it was crazy and funny. There was princess in it and did you know that it was Mr Harris dressed-up as the princess? Well it was an interesting movie.!

I Hope to see more about this term and learn more.

On Friday afternoon Shontal and her mum and I went to the Rugby World Cup opening in Auckland city. When the fireworks went off we were like WOW because there was fireworks coming out of the sky tower. As we were watching the fireworks going off we were having a picnic in the dark. We lade out our blankets and lade down while having some yummy Food. As we watched the fireworks go off I saw Andrea, Brodie-Jack and his parents too. So then they came and sat down by us. So as Shontal was holding her Netbook I asked her if she should take some photos for me. So she did. Then as it was finishing everybody started to clap. After that everybody went home and I went to sleep. That was an awesome and fun night!

Fathers Day

2011-09-05T09:59:00.004+12:00

On Sunday the 4th of September it was Fathers Day. On fathers day we had a big feast. Before we had our lunch, we had to clean up, like clean the dishes, vacuum the house and do other chores. So when we finished, we set the table. Then my mum dished my niece's and my plate and put it on the table. We said grace and then ate the amazing meal. After having the meanest feed ever my sister and that went back Up North. So when they left we just kicked back and watched a movie. We fell a sleep during the movie so we missed most of it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

My NetBooks New Home

2011-08-30T12:31:00.005+12:00

On Wednesday the 24th of August, Room 16, 17, and 18 got to take their netbooks home. Before we could take our netbooks home, our parents had to come to a school meeting. So I rang my mum on the phone in my class and I begged her to come down to the school for the meeting about my netbook. Yeah sure she said. She came down to the school, her and a couple of people came in. When they came in they started the meeting. While they were talking about taking our netbooks home, Te Rina and I went outside to play. After playing outside Te Rina and I went inside to see if the meeting was over. It was. Then when my mum gave me an important piece of paper she had signed, I gave it to Mr Somerville. Then I got my netbook put it in my bag and off we went. My mum and I walked to the truck and drove home. When we got home I hopped straight away onto my netbook and played some games. Then I gave my sister a turn with it. Then she gave it back because it was flat. So I put my netbook on the charger and when I done that I put it in a safe place. After that I went to Sleep.

Being On The News

2011-08-24T09:52:00.005+12:00

On Tuesday the 23rd of August channel One News came to Pt England School. I was really excited that they were here. When they came in we had to act good and cool. When the camera was going around we were working on our Netbooks.

Room 16 was really quiet so the lady who was talking could tell the whole of New Zealand about our awesome Netbooks. I feel sad that there are some schools that don't have Netbooks because they cant afford them.

So we did. We got into the caravan and when we got in there it looked really cool. so she " Do you want to meet Harold"? "YES" we all yelled. Lynn popped Harold. He ducked down he look sad. He said to Lynn "I felt sad because they didn't say HI. Don't we have to say hi. Hi Harold we said. In the life caravan we learnt about lots of body parts. We learnt about our liver. Lynn said everything about our liver, how it works and how it makes food. When we were learning Lynn gave as some cards to put on the side of the wall.

On Thursday Rooms 15,16 and 17 went on a trip to MOTAT. When we got there we meet a man named Frasier. He showed us around the place. We went around the corner and there was this big and black train sitting there. So he told us where to go and what to do. So first we went into the Tactile Dome. Before we could have our turn, a man called Andrew told us what to do. When he told us a lady had chosen a boy then he had to choose 3 other friends. Then Te Rina got picked and she choose 3 people as well. We all went in after the boys . I was the first one out of my group. Then my group followed behind. All I could hear was screaming, so I Said, “Can You all be Quite?"

Tallest Tower

2011-06-16T09:59:00.002+12:00

Last week Lola, and I were in a pair. As we got into our group we started to build our own tower. Our tower was really tall. When we made it, it looked like a Rocket. For our equipment we had scissors, sellotape, paper and a GLUE STICK. So we started to build the tower. As we were building it was looking pretty good. It was getting taller and taller. As it was getting taller Mr Somerville said “Come on guys lets check your tower’s out.”

Partly Cloudy

2011-06-16T09:14:00.003+12:00

The movie we watched was called Partly Cloudy
There where bird's called a stork and a cloud.
The setting was set up in the sky on clouds.
It starts when the storks are delivery the new babies.
When the stork is working for the cloud, the cloud has made dangerous animals like crocodile, baby goat, hedgehog and a eel.
I think I would give the movie a 10/10 rating because I think it was an awesome movie.

Japan Earthquake and tsunami

2011-03-14T10:00:00.003+13:00

O.M.G. On Friday at 2.40 Japan had an Earthquake SCARY. Did you know that they had a tsunami too? Isn’t that SCARY. Tokyo had an after shock as well. It was an 8.9 earthquake. I heard that when the earthquake was happening the tsunami hit. I saw on the news that as the water was going under the high way, the high way fell. As I was watching the news it was scary because I thought that there will be an Earthquake in NZ again. I think how it all happened was from Christchurch because when they had an earthquake they had another one. I am sorry for all of the loved ones that have died in Tokyo and in Japan. Like when the tsunami hit Japan it destroyed lots of thing like house’s cars and many more. Love from Tauwhare.

Takapuna Beach

2010-12-09T14:28:00.003+13:00

Takapuna Beach

On Monday I went to Takapuna beach. Beforehand, my cousin and I had made ourselves some lunch for Dad, Aunty, Brodie, Uncle and ourselves. On the way to the beach we stopped off at the gas station in Glen Innes to fill up. As soon as we arrived at the beach, the first thing I did was to jump in the water. My cousin and I had lots of fun swimming and playing in the sand. What a great day!

Swimming with Chris

2010-12-09T09:39:00.006+13:00

Swimming
“Ooh this is freezing cold!” I said to myself, as I squeezed on my life-jacket. I adjusted my belt and buckled up my life jacket. “Time to get in the pool!” Chris yelled loudly. Chris works for water safety NZ, He’s here to help us learn about water safety until the end of the term. As I hopped into the pool I was shivering and shaking. As I was shivering Room15 were asked to get in to the help position. When we got into that position we all had to get in a huddle and then we broke into song, singing the National Anthem.

Net Book

2010-12-09T09:17:00.006+13:00

Net books
Finally the year 7s got their net books on Tuesday. They are really excited that they have them. I asked my cousin in Room 20, named Shontal, if she was happy with her new net book, and she exclaimed “ Yes I really like my net book!” Its good for the year 7s because they don’t need to wait for school time, they can just do there own work at home or anywhere for that matter. Instead of working at school they can do work at there aunty's and uncle’s house. When they want to chat they can, and you don’t need to have stationery and they can do there own homework on line.

Nana's Buddy's 75th Birthday

2010-12-07T08:56:00.006+13:00

]

On Saturday it was Nana Buddy’s birthday down in Kawakawa bay. As the sun was rising, everybody was putting up decorations, baking the cake and making the food. We were getting ready to surprise Nana Buddy at 2pm. Before her arrival the food was set out nicely under the tarpaulin on the deck. Green streamers and pink and white balloons decorated the corners of the room while we waited for our main guest. When she finally came in, she loved what we had done and she thanked everyone for what we had done for her birthday. This day reminded me of my birthday, especially when Nana Buddy blew out her candles and making a wish. I hope Nana Buddy had a great time. My favourite part of the day was eating the cake! YUM!

An our topic for this term is called Little Critters.First up was team1.Their one was about Little Miss Muffet, Incy Wincy Spider and Spider Man. Miss Wild, as Little Miss Muffet, was so funny when she was sitting down on her tuffet because along came a spider and gave her a fright. She went running off scramming away. Then she did it again. But it was lowder when they did it the second time. Team 5 also was funny because they were slugs. Their item was so short because they were just crawling across the stage with sleeping bags overing them with googly eyes on them is well.

Suddenly my favorite item was called up team 4 a bee colonies. Mr Barks was the queen bee and the other bees were cleaning,feeding and cooling him. Mr Barks had a crown and white curly hair.

I felt like I was in the earthquake too but I wasn’t. When I watch the news I was thinking that I was the person that had died. Well luckily it was not me that had died.

Baby Shelley's Birthday

2010-09-03T10:55:00.007+12:00

Yesterday was baby Shelley’s birthday. She was so exited that it was. As I was leaving school
she said to me that I could come to her birthday and blow out the candles with her. So as we were having her birthday her Nana and Papa came too. Before we ate we sang Happy Birthday to you. Then me and Shelley blew out the candles after we sang.

After that Shelley and her sisters and I played hide and seek. As Chelsea was counting we were all hiding in the same place. So when she said, "Ready or not here I come. “Where is Tauwhare?” we were all laughing and then she said I’m not playing now.

Then we had to go and eat. As we were eating we were laughing because we kept on playing funny games when we were not supposed to. Finally we had the yummy lovely cake with Vanilla ice-cream. At the end I went home.

Cross Country Day

2010-08-27T10:13:00.006+12:00

Waiting for the race to start on the courts in our age lines, we were feeling excited. First up the 10 year old boys and girls went up to the start line. The boys all ran sprinting off to win the race. As soon as they ran off the 10 year old girls were up and they ran like the boys to win the race as well.

Finally it was my turn to run. As Mr Burt clapped the clappers and all of the 9 year old girls ran off. "Race starts," I said to myself. We all ran bunched up together. In front of me was Serena and I was behind her. As I was running I was puffed because of my burst of speed. I was coming up to the finish line sprinting fast trying to come 1st but I came 4th.

on his yacht called the Lionheart. His sailing around was so great and awesome, he said on his movie.

JESSE MARTIN

As Jesse Martin pulled onto the sail his hands were numb. When he pulled the sail it was flapping. His boat had water spraying overboard as it hit the gunnels.

On a raining day there was no wind for Jesse Martin to sail. He was so angry that he couldn't
sail because there was no wind.

Immersion Assembly

2010-07-22T10:52:00.002+12:00

As I walked in the door I saw teachers dressed up in crazy costumes. It was our Immersion Assembly, where we learn about our topic this term. Room15 was sitting and waiting for Mr Burt to talk about his trip about America and we could see what he had been up to. He told us about his trip because we are learning about travellers and explores.

Team 5 was Jessica Watson she had blond hair a black top that had Aussie written in green on the top. She said she that she traveled around the world on her boat by her self. Jessica Watson was so funny that her voice sounded like a young girl singing. And she said that she
had a solo.

The team I liked was team3. They showed a Muppet movie about a pirate battle and they gave chocolate money and I had one.

After team3 item it was time for team4 item it was about people was dressed up in different Mariners.

Dad's Game
On a Sunday me,mum,sister,and dad would always go to my dad's game. But before we go we always have to pack a lunch for us at the game. As we left we stopped at my auntie house to pick up my cousin. We left her house and went to the game In Papakura. We got their and it was very packed with lots of cars. So we got out of the truck and walked across to the fields
and we saw my uncle and my cousin sitting down on the chairs just out by the club.
When their was a team on the field they got off and it was my dad's team on now.
My dad's team started with a big kick off. As they started with a big kick off the other team got the ball and ran but the man who had the ball got tackled and one of dad's team members got the ball and ran as fast as he called and got the TRY. It was dad's ball he ran and did a step then ran and he got the try. Dad's team had 4 points and the other team had 0 points. And my dad's team won I was so proud of my dad. THE END.

My Favorite Movie

2010-06-29T14:53:00.003+12:00

My favourite movie is called Alvin an the Chipmunks 2. Alvin an the Chipmunks is awesome to watch and I like their voices. Their voices sound like a bird singing in the morning on the trees. Hearing them singing they sound really awesome like Alvin an the Chipmunks. But watching the movie of those funny Alvin an the Chipmunks with the girls in it now is lovely and awesome. I love the movie called Alvin an the Chipmunk 2.

Immersion Assembly by Tawhare

2010-05-25T12:37:00.000+12:00

As I walked in the door I was amazed by the teachers because they had spectacular costumes on. It was our Immersion Assembly in our school hall for this terms new Topic looking at ACTIVE EARTH. He called up team one to do their item.

Team ones item was about a volcano exploding. Once the volcano exploded Miss Wild had powder in her hand and she coughed the powder out of her hand and pretended that they didn't know that they were in a volcano area. Miss George said they were just camping in a volcano area, but they were acting like they didn't know that they were in a volcanic explosion.
Team one was showed the audience their safety gear including their torch, tent, camp food and water. They threw out chocolates to the kids who they thought we survivors and good listeners.

Once we were listening to them Mr Burt said lets give them a big round of applause. Once we gave them a round of applause they went off the school stage. It was team two's turn for their item. I was surprised that the item wasn't on the school stage. Instead they had a movie about an Earthquake. The movie was interesting. I liked the way they hid under the tables and outside the staffroom too.

Mrs She came up and thanked us for watching their show. It was then time for team three's item about dancing. It was so funny because Miss Walters had orange curls to pretended that it was her real hair. The next moment it was team four's time to get on the stage too. When they came on to the stage they were wearing funny glasses. They had a table to lean on, some party poppers and party sprays too.

Swimming

2010-03-28T15:02:00.003+13:00

I was standing on the side of the pool waiting patiently for Miss Garden to say we could start. "Go" said Miss Garden in a big voice. Off number ones went, they all pushed them self to the limit to get on to the other side. The next moment I dived into the pool and pushed myself to the limit to get on to the other side too. With great excitement I reached the end. When I was gliding through the water I was blowing bubbles like a swimming dolphin.

Capture the Flag

2010-03-09T21:18:00.001+13:00

On Friday room14/15 played a game called Capture the Flag on the bottom field. Miss King explained the different rules in her classroom so that we knew how to play. Room 14 was the green team and we were the red team.
After that we went outside to play. We lined up to play on opposite sides of the field. When Miss King said "Go," we ran like a herd of animals.
When we played room 15 headed for room 14 and room 14 headed for us. There was lots of running and lots of screaming.
On the first round Login got the flag for the red team so we were the winners for the first round When we won though Miss King changed Oshania and me into the green team.
The green team then got two points but the red team got 5 points.
After that we went to pick up rubbish aaround the field and the playground.
I like playig Capture the Flag. t was so cool because I haven't played it before. If we play again we would be the red team again and Room 14 would be the green team. So if we play again we probably won't win.
