WhiteBait Connection Part 2ooooooo

Walt: We are learning to be kaitiaki in our community.

Day 2 WhiteBait connection   

30th of July 2019 My class and I visited WhiteBait Connection again. Nina Was the one teaching us. We learnt how to identify fish pests and plant pests. Is a plant called the oxygen plant. It takes all the dissolved air away from the fish so then the fish can't eat and then they will die. We also found out what tools we can use to see how healthy the dune lake is. You can use a Thermometer, A fish trap, (if there are pests) and more. Before we go to have a look at them we got given groups. In my group was Me, (leader) Mia, Reo and Tristan.

Question: What do you think WhiteBait Connection is now?
Reflection: It was fun being a Leader because I like being bossy.

Day 1 WhiteBait Connection / Reflection

29th of July 2019 My class and I went to Whitebait Connection. A laddie named Nina talked to us about WhiteBait Connection. I found it interesting that when we had to learn about the water cycle. It evaporates into the clouds and when the clouds are too heavy they power down showering the hill’s, ocean’s, lakes and dirt. I really liked the part when we got given jars to put in a clean bowl of water. There are different types of water, Like roads, Rain water, Sewers, Toilet paper, Orange peels and more. After we dipped all of these items into the clean water it looked like dirty poo with dog vomit, with disgusting gone off pippies.

Question: What do you think WhiteBait Connection is?
Reflection: It was fun dirtying the clean bowl of water.

  

Under The Bed

Walt:We are learning to use descriptive vocab in our writing.

Under The Bed

Bang!!! Bang!!! Fired a gun. I woke up. I rushed Down stairs hoping that my family was safe but My hopes were to low. “NOOOOOO!!!!!” I shouted. I'm starting to panic. “What do I do What do I do”. I said.  walking in circles. “No Mom no Dad”. I walk back to my bed wishing it was a dream. I get into my bed and close my eyes. All my thoughts fading away. I was just about to fall asleep but then i heard a noise coming from Under My Bed….. I jump of my bed to have a look. “Gotcha!!” I shouted. But nothing was there. What was that noise I said. I turn around to grab my phone to call my friend. I rang Jack. But then Something grabbed my leg and pulled and started to pull me Under The Bed. “Get Off Me Monster Thing!!!”. “Never!!” It said. Continuing to me Under The Bed. “Hello”. Said Jack. “Are you there Michael? I'm coming there to see if your alright”. He hung up had rushed to the hotel where Michael lived when we got to his house He was scared. He opened the door and saw jacks friends parents lying on the ground.”Oh No”. He powered through  the house trying to find Michael's room. “Help Me”. said Michael. “I'm coming” Jack said”. He found his room and dived on his arm starting to pull. “What's pulling you?”Said jack”. I don't know?”.Said. “Almost out”.Said Michael.
