On Wednesday my class and I went down to the Waiomio River. We went to the river to see what kind of environment the fish were living in. We tested to see if it was a safe environment for fish, so we had to test the water and see what kind of animals lived in the River. The animals that lived there indicated what kind of environment they lived in. They were living in an okay environment which means that they weren’t living in a bad environment but not a good one either.

Ra Haka Day
Friday the 21st of May, we had Ra Haka Day and Pink Shirt day. Pink Shirt day is when you wear multiple pink things or just a pink shirt. Pink Shirt day is to stand up against bullying and to support the cancer society. I wore pink shoes, socks, shirt, tutu and a wig with multiple stickers standing up to bullying. The whole school went to the hall and we practised the waiata and the college haka, after practising for awhile we got split into our house colours and did it with our group. The house colours are blue for Matai, red for Rimu, Green for Totara and yellow for Kauri. I’m in Rimu.
Each group practised for 30 minutes, my group practised the haka about 12 times. Once each group finished practising we all went to the big gym (gym one) and did the haka in our groups, then once we finished doing it in our groups. We did it as a whole school. I recon matai was the best. But if those that didn’t know it got more practise, I recon we would have done really good.
After doing it indivually and as a whole school, it was time for break 2. Once break 2 had finished, everyone went back to the hall to do the waiata. After practising the waiata about 10 times, we seperated the hall in half so once side would stand and do the actions, and the other side would do the singing. It was a pretty good day and I enjoyed learning the haka and the waiata.

Hello, I made this post for my research project. I had a couple of varieties of choices, but I chose this one because it attracted my curiosity the most! Hopefully hope you find it entertaining.
Research cards – Dora the explorer
Research cards – Dora the explorer
For reading this week we had to choose a research card to do a project on. I chose to choose the explorer option and I didn’t know any real explorers so I decided to do Dora because I think she is very cool. Have you ever watched Dora before?

Speech Reflection:
To kick off our topic of Leadership for Social Studies. Whaea Muritere made us do speeches. Half of the reason was because she heard about English Speeches so she wanted us to do one for Social Studies. We were given the task to write a 2 minute speech about anything along the lines of Leadership. The one issue I had with this speech was time. The speeches were assigned right on the week of the kapa haka regional so time was not on my side. I had decided to have the speech in 1 week so that I didn’t have to worry about it too much afterwards. So although I had a somewhat decent speech done, I feel it could’ve been more depth and detailed. In the end we had been given a whole extra week to get them done, so rushed for nothing but oh well. I based my speech on the 3 main attributes I thought made a true leader those being Humility, Confidence, and Dedication. Here is my speech for you…
Leadership:
There is a saying that goes ‘actions speak louder than words’ which to me in a nutshell is what a true leader is all about. Leading from the front, putting the needs of others first. When there is a problem a true leader stand us for their team and takes the full grunt of the ridicule and wears it on the chin. All of what I’ve shared is part and parcel of the three main attributes that signify a true leader.
Firstly, be Humble. As a leader the achievements are not defined to the individual. But a true leader gives credit to where credit is due, that being to their group, peers, and those who have helped in getting them to where they are.
Secondly, be Confident. Let your yes be a yes, and your no be a no. A true leader is able to stand up accordingly and be that person that people can always rely on to do what needs to be done, and say what needs to be said.
Lastly, be Dedicated. Sylvester Stallone quotes ‘It ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you take and keep moving forward’. That’s the dedication of a true leader, taking the hits, taking everything and still being able to continue.
In closing this what a true leader would say “Whenever you call me, I’ll be there. Whenever you want me, I’ll be there. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there. I’ll be around.” (Song: The Spinners – I’ll be around)
Thank you.
My reflection on my Leadership Speech.
My reflection on my leadership speech.
My class T10 had to write a 2 minute speech on what we think makes a good leader.
I used my great grandpa in my speech because I thought he was a great example as a true leader.I stood proud. I was presenting my speech. I was a bit nervous because I was one of the first up but I spoke realy well.My time was 2 minutes on the dot which is pretty good it takes hard work and time to write a speech.
Here’s the link to my leadership speech.
