Junior School Trip to Sheepworld

2011-10-24T15:49:00.002+13:00

We asked our Mums and Dads what Kiwiana things they remembered...

2011-08-21T22:38:00.001+12:00

Making Pavlova

2011-08-21T17:37:00.001+12:00

On Friday we made a pavlova as part of our Kiwiana topic. We all had a turn to mix or add things. The white pavlova got bigger and browner as it cooked.

When it was cooled, we added whipped cream and kiwifruit. Zeph said, having the kiwifruit made it doubly Kiwiana!
Then we ate it. We thought it was absolutely delicious!

Grace told us that the pavlova was invented as a tribute to the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who came to New Zealand in 1926. Do you think a pavlova looks like a ballerina's tutu?

We made these "KIWIANA" plates!

Stories about the Emperor Penguin at Pekapeka Beach, Wellington

2011-06-23T19:37:00.000+12:00

The emperor penguin came to New Zealand on Tuesday. He swam to Wellington. He'd better get used to sand and grass. They'd better let him swim back.
By Loyd
I think the emperor penguin got lost. He came swimming. It hs big. It came on Tuesday. It came to New Zealand. It might have been chasing a fish, a fast one. The penguin is black and white. It might miss its family. It has to get used to the hot. And it came without anyone. I felt sad for it.
By Sid
This penguin came to New Zealand. We don't know why he came here. Maybe he wanted to try some new fish. His family is sad. He is sad. It came on Tuesday.
By Brendon
The penguin was chasing a normal fish and the penguin got lost. Now he is in New Zealand.
Then the penguin looked where he was, in New Zealand! Then he felt sad.
By Brooklyn
This penguin came to NZ on Tuesday because he wanted a holiday. The sun is hot for him. He swam 3000 km. He came to a NZ beach. I felt sad for it.
He went shopping. He got some penguin toys for his penguin friends.
By Cody
This penguin swam all the way to New Zealand. It came on Tuesday. I think it was chasing a fish. It is feeling lonely.
By Scott
The emperor penguin went swimming to New Zealand. Did he come in the day or night? He felt terrible.

Our Pataka Designs

2011-05-27T14:58:00.001+12:00

It is a Courtyard Pataka. We have our own honey hive. You go up the steps to get to the food. It has weapons in case baddies come. It has low walls to keep animals out. It has seats for people to sit in.

Brendon and Fred

It has steps and a gate. There is a door for food we want and a place to put mouldy food we don't want so birds can eat it. At the bottom there is an animal trap!

Scott and Brooklyn

It has storage at the back. It has giant doors at the front to keep animals out. Air can get in so the food doesn't go mouldy.

Loyd, Sid and Zeph

It is very high. It has really thick walls at the back. Food is kept in a hole inside. There are steps so people can get away from animals if they are chasing them. People can sit at the top and have a nice view.

Chevy and Greta (and Sparkle)

There are people on the lookout. Some people are in carts to go and get the food. There are steps. The food inside is covered by a door. Kayla,Ella and Grace

Our pataka was very high to keep animals out. It had a floor and walls. But it got hit by a tornedo so we didn't get to take a photo!

CATCHING THE BUTTERFLIES

2010-11-04T22:36:00.002+13:00

In the holidays I got a new pink net at Te Puke. Then we went home.
The next day I woke up.
“Poppa,” I said, “Can I please get the net out of the boot?”
Poppa said yes and I ran to the car. I got in the car and I pushed the button and I ran to the end of the car and opened up the boot door and took the net out of the boot.
And I caught 6 butterflies and I put the butterflies in a jar.
I watched the butterflies fly and fly and I laughed.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
I like catching white butterflies because I get to watch them fly. I wish that there are more butterflies because I can use my net more often.

Their feet were so, so big. Their legs were so big, the Maori people wanted to hunt them to eat them.
Phoebe

It is big. The Maori people ate them.
Billy

The biggest bird ever. I wish I was alive in the olden days. I wish I had the moa as a pet. You’re dreaming mate!
Jirah

They were 4 metres long. They had no teeth. They couldn’t run fast. They laid big eggs.
They had to hide, and waited and waited until the moa came and they threw spears.
Callum

The moa was four metres tall. It had big feet. The moa is extinct. The Maori people ate the moa long ago. The moa had big eggs. They were used for a can of water.
Jessica

They are extinct. They got eaten by the Maori men. There were no moa left.
Nathan

The people were hiding. And when the moa came they threw sticks at the moa and the sticks are sharp. They ate the moa.
