Te Oro Workshop
On a cold Tuesday Room 7, Room 10 and Room 9 went to
workshop at Te Oro.
The first thing we did is we put all our lunches into one bag.
Three lunches in one bag.
Next we lined up and walked our way to the bus. The teachers
counted us while we get on the bus. The bus was filled with kids
chit-chattering so loud.
After a short ride, we finally arrived at Te Oro. The building
was made beautifully. All of us lined up and walked inside the building.
There, we took our shoes off and the wahine (girls) quietly
walked inside the
studio followed by the tama (boys). We were greeted with a
powhiri. We
sat on the mats and listen to the group of people singing
a lovely Maori song.
The group of people who led us put us into three groups,
one group was doing basic Maori painting, another one was with doing basic
clay and the last group was doing basic Maori weaving.
I was in the weaving group. We group talked about what to do
before weaving or harvesting the harakeke. After we had the discussion,
whaea said a karakia. Next she split our group into two, the wahine’s
are on group and the other are tama’s.
They gave us four strips of harakeke and a scissor. While
Whaea is teaching us, we follow. After, we to cut the excess
off and we made a whetu. We made two more whetu. Whaea
said we give one the first one to someone and I gave my to
my friend.
Lastly, we had to tell everyone what we made and what we
learnt.
Te Oro was very fun because we learnt and we made. I hope
to go there again.

Matariki Art
This is my Matariki art. I made this with crayons. I first did draw the first layer with any color, you can make it multi color or just one color. Next I added the black color, after that I got a nail and drew.
The contribuition Mr and Mrs Gock to New Zealand
WALT - write paragraphs using
the PEEL acronym
P - Make your point
E - Back it up: support you point
with evidence and examples
E - Explain how the evidence
supports your points
L - Link this to the main point
Topic - Mr and Mrs Gock
contributed a lot to New Zealand
Contribution
They contributed their service
to New Zealand by saving the
kumara and their many inventions.
They won many awards for
contributing. Joe earned the Queen’s
medal. In 2013 they won the
Bledisloe cup for their service
to horticulture. Joe referred to
himself as an experimenter not a
scientist. People could call them
“citizen scientists”.
When the Black Rot disease spread,
Mr and Mrs Gock gifted their
disease resistance to New Zealand.
They refused to take the money
that the Government gave them.
People also made documentaries
about how they saved the kumara
from the Black Rot disease.
Joe and Fay went through
many problems together but solved it
together. They invented stickers on fruit
and the broccoli box. They investigated
and they collected evidence. They had many
ups and downs but they kept trying until they
figured out the solution to the problem.
Mr and Mrs Gock were married in
1956 and had three daughters Jayne, Raewyn and
Virginia. Fay suddenly died from an illness back
on 21 December 2018. We will remember your
service Fay Gock.

What to do when you're scared, worried or nervous
What to do when you're scared, worried or nervous
Today I read an article about “What to do when you’re scared, worried or nervous”.
What to do:
Nervous or scared
If you’re nervous take a deep breath and count to five. This will help you calm down. Think of something that will distract you from being nervous or such as: thinking about the forest or you looking up at the sky, the clouds. Close your eyes and imagine your in a forest, you hear birds tweeting, leaves rustling. Focus on what’s happening now. Not what will happen tomorrow.
Worried
Talk to someone you trust and talk about how you feel. If you can and want to, try do meditation. Close your eyes, inhale and exhale, hear and imagine.
Relax
You need to relax. Relax you muscles, relax your whole body.
If you don’t know:
Breath and count to five. Breathing is one of the best exercise to do.
Write down your thoughts in a book. If you can, buy a diary write about how you feel.
Connect to nature. Go for a nature walk, look and hear.
Write down what you’re grateful for.
I hope this will help you when you are scared, worried or nervous. Do mindfulness.

Tahi, my maths group. We watched a
maths video of how to solve fractions.
Then Mrs Tofa gave us a problem to solve.
Next she put us in small group or pairs. I was
with Lesieli. Together we used our minds to
solve the maths problem.
