Starting School

IALA recounts.

I have been working hard to support my ideas with detail.

Starting School in 2017.

When I hopped off the bus I was so excited to start a new year at Paparoa Range School in 2017.  I was really glad to see my friends again and to see my teacher as well. I heard chatter everywhere.

As soon as I walked in the school gates I saw buildings trapping the playground as well as the field. there were lots of rooms and a big slab of concrete. Included in the buildings was an office and six classrooms.

When I saw the swimming pool it made me want to go swimming again. I had not been swimming for ages because I had not been for all my holidays. 

As soon as I stepped into Rum Whā I saw little desks and a massive activeboard. 

When I put my foot on the playground I saw a big flat platform that was soft and blue with all sorts of equipment to play on like slides, bridges, climbing walls, monkey bars, flying fox and a firemans pole.

Korowai Cloak

This is me and my cloak. I chose these words (values) to make this classroom a room where people are valued. They are honest, respectful and positive.

The Hungry Squirrel

The Hungry Squirrel

Early one morning near the edge of the forest there was a small squirrel gathering nuts while a hawk was gliding high in the sky.

The squirrel sensed something, he heard whooshing noises and the screams of a hawk. He glanced up and he knew that he was in danger! His tail went straight up with fear.  Panicking his paws planted firmly on the ground. His body was rigid.

The hawk was circling with a glint in his eye. He had a sharp beak that is yellow. he   had grey wings with white stripes it’s body is grey. The squirrel was ready to run but he quickly thought to grab the last of his nuts, then run. The hawk was scooping down.

The squirrel was stuck in the hawk's claws he was wiggling and jiggling. Once he was free he hid in his cozy willow tree the hawk was scared of him when he had gone.He decided to gather the last of his nuts.
