My ballet poem
Kia Ora,
Today I am going to be showing you what I have been doing for writing. For writing we had to write a poem about ballet. Today we are going to a ballerina show.
We had to describe what it was like. I wrote: white like my tutu ,white like my gloves, pink like my shoes and gold like my crown. After we were done I had to make a new google drawing I added some ballerina photos in and changed the background into a nice color. I also did three facts about ballet. Did you know that it takes 90 hours to make a tutu which is 4 days. Anyways I hoped you enjoy my writing. Here is a photo of my ballet poem enjoy :)).

The Athlectics
Kia Ora readers,
Today I'm going to be sharing with you people of what we have been doing this term. This term we were doing athletics. In athletics we did distance running, High jump, Long jump, Shot put, Discus, and lastly sprint. My 2 favorite activity's has to be sprint and high jump.
I like high jump cause its very challenging because you have to jump over a pole and its very hard because it goes higher every time. I also like sprint because you can go against other kids. From other classrooms.
On Wednesday we did sprinting the coach for sprints is Mrs T our teacher. So I think there were about 5 lanes yeah so one girl had to go on each lane. And other girls had to go behind us. So you had to but one leg back and one in the front we bent down a bit and once as Mrs T clapped the two bricks we had to start running. When Wednesday came the all of the kids had to come to the field we the year 6 girls had to sit in one line and the year 6 boys had to sit in one line to there were also kids to the little ones had to go first and then big kids once as it was the year 6 girls
I came 2nd place Talisa went first the 1 and 2nd girls went to finals. 1 was one of them same as my friends. The girls that had to race each other. It didn't really go as expected Tori came first . But me and the other year 6 girls came 2nd the teachers were so confused so they told us we had to redo the race. I was surprised cause I came 2nd I didn't really think I would go to zones :).
We will be going next week on Wednesday 11th of Nonmember. I am so excited but nervous at the same time. Thank you for reading my blog post have an amazing weekend.

My Writing
Malo Lelei readers,
Today I am going to be sharing my writing I have been doing this week. We all have been learning about surface features. Surface features are little bits in your writing like punctuation spelling and repeated words. We had to fix our writing if there were words that was repeated the most. Why are we using surface features? Because it makes it easier for people to read and understand. Here is a example: thissentsaChulymakessen Zbuttisrellyhrd to reed this sentence doesn't have surface features. We also had to fix our writing if too many words were the same.
On our Room 9 site we our teacher put on a link to a story we needed to fix. We make our own copy . We had to read it once and find the end of the sentence. I hope this explains what surface features mean if you have any other questions feel free to comment
Here is a photo of my writing I have been working on this week. This is not my story I just had to highlight the words that were repeated and fix mistakes in this writing.

Kia Ora readers,
Today I'm going to be sharing my writing. What we did for writing is that we wrote about a picture. We had to put language features but there also was senses the senses were. Hearing seeing smelling feeling and touch.
The writing was about.A lady that was turning 30 years old. It was an Tongan birthday party. Some people had on a puletaha. There were alot of food like pigs, horse, fish , And octopus.
The cake was beautiful it had amazing orange patterns on them. There were also nice stunning white flowers in the middle. There was a little girl in the left corner of the photo she was looking straight into the cake. She was ready to dig in.
There were about 35 people there. 5 aunties 15 children and 5 uncles and there were other kids but don't have no idea who they are.
But thank you for readying my blog here is my writing of this week :) enjoy.

FIA FIA
Malo Lelei readers,
Today I'm going to be sharing the schools Fia Fia. So we practiced for about a month our teachers were Miss Cliford and Miss Harris. The girls only learned 2 dances and the boys learned 3 dances.
When it was time for fia fia night we had to wear pacific clothes some kids had to get some from the office cause they didn't have anything pacific to wear. We had to wear a puletaha its just a top and a skirt you would say in english.
But here is a photo of what a puletaha is.
So now you know what a puletaha is some puletaha looks like this but some doesn't. We had alot of fun at pacifica we had kids parents and siblings over and also some of the teachers.We had these necklaces on they were like fake flower around our necks.
I wore a white puletaha you would see me in the front of the video on the sixth line. There were also some pacific food they were called keke and sipi.
If you would like to watch the video it is right here.
Anyways thank you for reading my blog. Please leave a comment and have a incredible day :).

Word of the week!!!1
Kia Ora readers,
Today I'm going to be sharing my word of the week. This word of the week is Tempting. If you go to classs blog and click on one childrens blog page you would see they have different words. cause this week our teacher told us that we were allowed to do our own weeks
but what I learned from tempting is Attractive and appealing. Like a strawberry is delicious and yummy.
I don't have any more ideas to share about what tempting means but you will find meanings in dictionary online or dictionary books . And also feel free to search on google.
But here is my Word Of The Week!!!.
