Camp 2015

When I’m at school camp I'm always the last to get to sleep and that really annoys me! This year when I was 

in my sleeping bag, kids in my cabin were planning to sneak out once all the teachers were asleep but that never happened. Everyone in my cabin was whispering most of the night and they were making snorting sounds and other silly sounds. Sam kept turning the light on. Others would peep out the window to see if the teachers were asleep yet so we could escape and play on the tractor in the dark. But we never did.

Later on, there was somebody snoring like a chainsaw. It was difficult to get to sleep, and whenever someone started snoring again, Mylo would say "there goes the chainsaw again!".

The next morning we got up early so we could start the activities. The first thing we did was a fun walk with mr Lukes. With Mr Lukes we explored nature and looked at nice flowers. I didn't feel tired when we explored all around the camp, or even at the quiz that night.

But the second morning, I was a little bit tired. But I didn't mind, because it's fun fun staying up extremely late.

 I didn't mind, because it's fun fun staying up extremely late.

sang to me then we had some cake the cake was very good.

also the school is 101 years old!!!.

At waimairi school there are 60 ipads and 60

computers.

The school turned 100 at the beginning of 2014.

When that happened the school was on CTV news.

The school survived the earthquake!.

Naima: Waimairi School is the best school ever. Unlike other schools, it let's you use wonderful creative things for The Arts, even if it is a paint shirt. In Waimairi School they let parents come and help and take the of kids to school trips. We are very lucky to have waimairi school.

overall i think waimairi school is special to me because is 100 years old!

Christchurch earthquake 2011

One day, the week I was starting school, I went to pak'nsave and I went shopping with my mum. once we got all the food we payed and once we payed we stood by the loto counter. A few seconds later the ground started shaking. BANG! CRASH! The shopping trolleys were smashing together and sparks flew. The lights were flickering from the power going out and the worst sound was people screaming!

About 15 people were about to insert their credit cards into the Machine when the earthquake started and they just ran without paying because they were so scared and they ran me over with their shopping trolleys and ran for the exit. I felt so so scared Twittering and very sore.

When we went out of the building running we sat on the car park stop block and waited for about 3 minutes then went into the car and drove home. 

As we drove home all traffic lights were not operating so they were flashing yellow and I was surprised that they still had power running into them.

So once I got home first thing I did was see if there was power so I tried to turn the lights on Click and there was no power because the lights did not turn on and my mum was checking everything like the mess and my bedroom wall was smashed up!

There was no power to the refrigerator so after a while Half of the food in it got all moldy.

Walking through the mess I tripped over specially in the kitchen.

There was no other damage but mark didn't come home to 7 o'clock PM because he was stuck in traffic and but by then the power came back on so we Watch the news about Christchurch.

The next day it was a fine day but there was Thousands of aftershocks.

Sneaking an iPod touch 3

Once when I was bored in my bedroom I thought I want to use my mom's iPod when she had said no you can't use the iPod! 

I was sick of she saying no so I went into her bedroom and looked for it Until I found it! Was very surprised so I took it.

Once I was in my bedroom with the iPod I got my old iPhone charger and i put it in my desk draw and charged it.

Once it was charged still when mum wasn't looking i started to use it but then... There was a passcode! From last time I used it so I tried every Passcode there was and I didn't get it.

Then mum found out that I had the iPod so she took it off me and put it back in her room and I didn't find it again.

Maori reflection 2015

This year we have been learning about Maori ritual. At the start of the year I didn’t know anything. Now I know that we sing waiata to make everyone feel happy. I learnt six different waiata. Tutira mai nga iwi was my favourite one. What changed was the way I feel good singing.

Here is an audio link to our performances and explanations of our learning:
