I looked out the car window, disappointed as my dad pulled up into my grandpa’s garage.

As I got out of the car with my dad, my dad held my hand gently saying ‘’It’s okay, I will play with you tomorrow’’ I looked down at the floor with teary eyes as I said, ‘’You… You said that yesterday..’’

As my dad was gonna reply his phone vibrated as someone texted him from work.

‘’Sorry! I need to go but.. His food, his bottle, his spare clothes and his hat is inside his bag so everything he needs is inside, also don’t give him any sugar like ice cream!’’ My dad said as he waved his last goodbye and got into the car, he pulled out into his driveway.

I wiped my tears away as my grandpa said ‘’Don’t worry we will have fun, I’m also almost done with the lawn.’’ He said as he left the garage to mow the lawn.

I looked up at the shelf that was stored with heaps of old dusty boxes, there was a box that was on top of the shelf that was high up in the shelf that caught my eye. But.. there was one problem… I couldn’t reach…

I stacked boxes on boxes and tried to reach for the one box that I laid my eyes on but all the boxes came crashing down on me including the box I wanted.

A few seconds later my grandpa comes running in by the noises of the boxes I caused, ‘’Santa maria:Translation:Holy Mary!:’’ My grandpa shouted.

There was a wagon and a picture of grandpa and my dad when he was my age that fell out of one of the boxes.

He looked down at the wagon and grinned, ‘’Shall we take this for a spin?’’

I hopped into the wagon, holding tight onto the sides of the wagon. My grandpa pushed the back of the wagon

‘’Ah… what a lovely day-’’ My grandpa got interrupted by the aliens above us! ‘’Ah!’’ I shouted, me and my grandpa hopped into a plane and flew away! Reality: A girl playing on her phone and two random cats hissing at each other on the sidewalk for no reason.

We finally escaped the aliens but.. We were out of fuel! ‘’We need to jump… now or never!’’

We jumped off but in reality we were filthy. My dad came back and when he saw us he scolded us.

On Wednesday, me and my best friend Nate were starting off with our Tamure and Kaiwhare task because it was part of the choices on the storychat.

If you would like to see our work it is right here down below.

In kea for storychat/reading, we read s tory about Tamure and the Taniwha. Later we did a slide about it and we had to match the words with the story. We also had to move some slides so it could be accurate to the story. Take a look!

In week 4 we learnt about the river by Wesley. This is a slideshow about the story we read.

Last week we did a poster about the things you should always do at school.

First me and my two partner Akesa and Tristan posted a poster about our deck and stairs.

1) Always remember to walk on your left and to be responsible went a teacher is walking up.

2) Make sure to keep your belongings altogether in a cubby and clean it after using.

Lastly keep your hands on your own belonings.

    This is my slide show about how to save the earth. I did it with Ivi, and Elenoa.

In kea last year was Matariki, we did some facts about it so some people could look at it and learn some things. Take a look!

This is a poster from last week.

I used Google drawing to make a poster about our school values.the school values are mannakitanga and Kaitiakitanga.

I made this poster about everywhere. It tell’s about the responsible and respectfull thing’s to do everywhere.

We did this for Cybersmart in week 2.

In Kea, we made some place value posters for each place in our school so new kids or other kids that don’t know the place values could come and see so they could follow along.

On monday we explored our backyard ,we walked around the school and I went with Viggo and Azka . First we walked to the mara hupara. We felt bumpy leaves and trees .We saw a big log that felt smooth and hard .

I saw a descriptive word and on the paper it said cool so I wrote air on the paper we went to the back of the office an we felt harakek that is what people make basket’s I made one be for but was a flower it was really

Last year we did an writing about should kids under 13 use Chromebooks or any kinds of devices.

 I disagree because it actually affects children’s brain and their physical personality.

**Introduction**

Children under 13 years old should not have devices because it affects kids’ brains by watching inappropriate stuff on the internet.

**body paragraphs 1**

Devices could also affect kids’ futures by watching private things on social media.
