Koro Description

KORO DESCRIPTION!!!

Introducing the amazing KORO!

Koro has an amazing personality and he is the most helpful person on earth. He is like a human rubbish bin. Koro has been a great KORO to each and every one of us.  He is as kind and always says “Hey mate,” or “Hey! Pick up your rubbish!”  Koro picks up the leftover rubbish that other children throw on the ground or they just can’t be bothered to walk over to the rubbish bin.

Koro likes kids and people that show respect, that don’t litter and use their manners at all times. Koro also likes it when children don’t litter and pick up others rubbish. Another thing Koro enjoys  and likes is having a joyful life and likes it when our school is clean and green. Koro has done a lot of things for us children that we should be doing. Like picking up rubbish that other children just dump on the ground because they’re just too lazy to put it in the rubbish bin. Koro loves it when our Kapa Haka group sings our Maori songs.

Koro is wise and humble,he always cares if we are hurt, he cheers you up if you're not feeling  that well, he's witty and that makes me laugh.
Koro is one of a kind to us children at Tamaki.  He has the biggest heart in the whole world.
He manages to look after us. Koro hates it when he see’s the children drop their rubbish.
He has brown eyes as brown as leather, it’s like Koro has silver in his hair but gold in his heart!

Koro always had to keep our school clean and superb as possible.  He tries to come to school everyday when he should be at home having a holiday.  He gets straight to work and doesn’t muck around.  Koro takes time away from taking care of his family for us and that means a lot to the children at Tamaki.  Koro always finishes his job and doesn’t do those half jobs like we do.

Koro always tries to take time for his family and tries to make time for us.
Koro dislikes people who litter and who don't listen to him. Koro also dislikes people who talk back to him.   Koro floats around in our dreams day and night, because of all that he has done for us kids and we all should be grateful of what he has given us. We were given a gift from the Lord, and that gift was Koro!

Koro is special to us because he is like our own real Koro to each and everyone of us. We all love you very much Koro and we would love for you to stay with us forever! He always loves us and takes good care of our school.

My Observation Report

My Observation Report


Introduction-This term we have been learning about plants.
My group has chosen the experiment stain the veins.
Involving in my experiment I have to use food colouring,scissors,a plastic cup or bowl,a bunch of flowers.


Procedure- On August the 10th on Friday
my group gathered the food colouring,the water,the bunch of flowers,a pair of scissors and the cup to put all of the ingredients in.
Me and my group had to pour about six tablespoons of food colouring into each plastic cup and had to pour water until the cup was half full.   
We had to carefully cut the rear inside bits of the stem with the pair of scissors,then put the two flowers in the plastic cups with the food colouring inside.


Observations-On the next day we had saw that our hypothesis was right and we had also saw that the petals on the flowers had changed colour too.
The day after that me and my group had saw that the food colouring was darker and the inside bits of the stem had  changed colour too.
The last day of observation me and my group had saw that the plants were turning into an orange colour.

Conclusion- I discovered that if you put food colouring and water in a bowl or cup and leave it there, then the petals on the flower will  change colour.
I also found out that if you you don’t water the plants, then they die.
I felt happy about my experiment!

Current Events Term 3

Day One: Observation Term 3

Today we checked our plants. Our hypothesis was right. The stem and the petals changed colour! Now.......

I am wondering if we left the flowers in the food colouring for another 2 weeks, what will happen?

What will happen to the flowers if the food colouring was toxic oil? Would the flowers die? Or will they stay alive?

What will happen if we put the flowers in the sun, but the water was toxic oil?

Will the flowers still change colour if we change the food colouring to water?

My experiment

the man who Skydived for the first time

Paragraph 1
On a hot sunny day in California in America there lived an old man he was named old man jenkins because he was famous for eating gherkins but they called him Jenkins. He had a lot of grey hair, Light blue eyes, Chubby hands and little fingers and he had a wonderful smile.

He lived in the city with his son Sam.  Sam was 16, he had green eyes, Black spiky hair, bony hands and he was in good shape
Old man Jenkins was a businessman.  Old man Jenkins had got interviewed by famous people and they told him that they would pay for him to go on a skydiving experience. Old man Jenkins said “I  will have my decision by tomorrow.” So he did.
Paragraph 2
On the way when old man Jenkins dashed home he saw his son and his friends.
Sam’s friends were making fun of old man Jenkins cause he was all old and grumpy and always saying that he doesn’t have time for things to do.
He yelled at Sam’s friends and told them to get out!
The son was embarrassed and i mean really embarrassed.
Sam was arguing with his dad and said he was a sissy. Old  man Jenkins said “He wasn’t a sissy because he was going on a skydiving experience”
Sam ran out and Sam was really angry, So was old man Jenkins.
Paragraph 3
The next morning Jenkins was getting ready to go for the skydiving experience, Old man Jenkins was really scared but he didn’t care because he was angry at his son Sam.
He thought it would be so bad until he jumped on the helicopter!
He then thought to himself was he smart enough to know what to do or no?
He just got ready to go on the helicopter.
Then the helicopter was ready to leave.
Paragraph 4
Old man Jenkin’s heart was pounding so much and he didn’t know what to do but it was too late.
Once they were up in the high sky the experienced skydivers told him to jump off the helicopter and told him to push out the parachute when you're nearly down on the ground so you can float.
Old man Jenkins then reached the floor and the parachute was off and he screamed “ I did it, I’m a champion!
He loved it how he felt the wind go through him and how he could see the  wonderful baby blue sky just standing there.



Paragraph 5
Sam came to pick up his dad from where he got dropped from the helicopter.
Sam found him and then they were on their way home.
Sam still wasn’t talking to his dad in the car he just turned the music loud so he couldn’t hear his father talk.
They arrived home and Sam’s friends were there.
Old man Jenkins just wanted to go to bed. In the back he could hear Sam’s friends telling sam that his dad looks like a big troll.
Paragraph 6
Sam had gotten angry and told them to get out in a very loud voice and they ran out really fast out of the house.
Old man Jenkins came out of his room to see what the fuss was all about and he saw that Sam had told his friends to get out.
Then Sam gave his dad a shake on the hand a hug and said “You are the greatest dad in the world”
The dad said to Sam ‘I know I am’
They lived happily ever after in California

Term 3 Recount

Craft-Draft
I had the worst weekends ever!
It was terrible and boring on the first week of the holidays .so me and my sister Kristelle wanted to watch a movie with all the pocket money we got on Tuesday for our allowance.  Our mum asked us if we wanted a ride to Highland Park because it was pretty long to walk!

We decided to watch Ice age 4 Continental Drift and we were going to watch it at Highland-Park because the prices were cheap.  I ordered our tickets at 11:30 and our movie would start at 12:00.  We had half an hour to do anything we wanted to.
I started to put my alarm on my phone and I sent it to ring in 20 minutes because then we would have ten minutes to walk back and get ready to buy popcorn and lollies.  

We thought what to do with half an hour so we went to go to Burger King because our stomachs were rattling like crazy, so we went. When we got there, Kristelle had a Whopper Junior and I had a BBQ Rodeo.  We ate our food inside Burger King because it was windy outside.

We stayed at Burger King for 10 minutes because the queue was too long.
Timezone was around the corner and we only had 20 more minutes on the clock until the movie would start so Kristelle asked me if we could have a game of hit the hamster. So we played 1 game and it was 11:50. She won because that's her favourite game.

Then my phone rang and then I said “Hello,” but then it said get ready for movie and then I knew that we had to go and get our junk food.

There was a big queue and we only had 10 minutes to get passed all of those people.  2 minutes past from waiting in that dark red room and we hadn’t even moved in line yet!  It was getting pretty boring and we were only there for two minutes.

Six minutes later we were finally at the front and then we ordered our lollies and popcorn.  We ran as fast as we could to theatre 11, it was the last one on the left.
We got comfortable and got ready to watch the movie. Suddenly...there was a  twitchy noise I could hear on the cinema...

The manager of the Highland Park theatre said that the movie cannot work.  He had to scream.

We got our money back because our mum came down to pick us up.  She asked how was the movie and I said “We didn’t watch.”  Our mum stepped in the movie theatre and said very loudly “GIVE MY DAUGHTERS A REFUND!”

Kristelle and I were angry because we spent a lot of money on food and junk food for our movie.  Kristelle said “Well that was annoying and boring.” I agreed with her.
I said “We’ll go to the movies again tomorrow.” I was tired of running around everywhere and also I wasn’t in the mood for watching a movie.

Movie Magic Process

Movie Magic Evaluation

Insert the screenshot of your diamond below:






I think that good actors is the most important element to movie making because... Some good actors make good movies and funny movies and i like actors like that.

I put a Range of camera shots and Fancy costumes second because... The range of Camera shots make it like the movie is right in-front of you.
And the fancy costumes make the actors look realistic and like really entertaining people.


I think the least important element is lightning because.. You hardly even need lightning in some movies because they are made in the day and you only need light in night.

Other important elements that aren’t included here are... 
Storyboards

My biggest lightbulb moment while learning about movie magic was...
Filming because we learn how to use the camera properly.

The Grand High Witch Description

Her nails are sharper than a tiger’s claws. She has wrinkly skin like my great grandmother Her hair is balder than a round bowling ball. 

She sounds like an angry tiger about to catch its prey. She sounds like a posh rich lady. She sounds like a sleazy woman trying to get what she wants. 

 She moves like a sneaky snake. She moves slow without a step. She moves gracefully. 

 She says things like “ I want all these children in England to be removed!” Also things like “ GET THEM I SAY!” Plus “Dogs droppings.” 

 She hates children.

We are going to start writing speeches. Here is our brainstorm of possible topics. We used Lucidcharts to create this brainstorm. Can you think of anymore ideas?

WALT tell the time

We used lucidcharts.com to compare movies that entertain and movies that influence.

We used

Manaiakalani Film Festival movies.
