Hi my name is Ezrae and I´m a year 9 writing from Bay Of Island College and today I will be Talking to you about 3 states of Matter and The Changing of matter.

Kia ora my name is Hinemoana I’m a year 9 at BOIC. I really admire Rongonui.Because she is hard working and a inspiring leader. Even though she is a  tangata rongonui she always stays humble and remembers were she came from.she has shown me that if you keep practicing and never give up on your goals you can achieve great things I look up to her because she uses her success to help other people.and makes our community a better place.

Kiara Brownlee because she is very talkative , she is caring , kind and good . She is honest and she is care-free . Kiara Brownlee is a good friend

What I have enjoyed most about English this term: Doing our speeches and other things  we have done. 

What  I found challenging: Was that  I did not understand some of the things we did and the books we were doing in this class.

How can I improve my English skills: Do more spelling so I can get better at it. 

What steps I will take to achieve this improvement: Ask for help from the teacher or people I the class room.    

My favourite part of this term was the speeches , I enjoyed writing it because my topic was about ¨ What being rich really means ¨  and that gave me understanding of why everyone should cherish quality family time.

The thing that I found challenging about this class was the English basic books , it was boring and took time so it just made it really boring.

A way I can improve my English skills is by not distracting myself and listening to the teacher properly instead of daydreaming.

The way I can achieve this improvement is by taking a nice goodnight rest and come to school with a nice and good attitude ready for learning.

I enjoyed writing my speech. It was challenging finding a topic to write about for my speech. I can improve by actively listening to the teacher. I will listen more to acheive that.

Hi my name is Ezrae Marsh and I am a Year 9, going to Bay Of Islands College (BOIC). I´m telling you about my journey on Year 9 Haerenga. Last week was our year 9 camp, we left school at 9 am and travelled to the Hokianga in three big buses. It took us an hour to get there. Half of our year 9ś went to the beach and the other half went to Manea – The Footsteps of Kupe. Then we had lunch and travelled to our Marae  Mataitaua, where we had our Powhiri and we stayed there.

On the second day we had to climb a mountain called Whakarongorua. It is about a lady standing on top of the hill and if you are quiet you can hear the sea from the east side and west side .That lady represents her standing there and waiting for her husband who never returned as he got murdered by a Moari chief, named Patoune and she still stands there to this day as a tree log. I also forgot to mention that I didn’t walk up the first time. So I had to walk up there with the second group.

On the last day of our year nine Hearenga, we went to the beach in Paihia. That is where we had lunch. Some of the kids got picked up from there and they went home. We hopped back on our buses and headed back to school. I got picked up and got greeted by my niece (Kiaara-Lee). That day was my birthday, so I got an ice cream and a delicious birthday cake. I finished the day with a sleep and woke up the next day, got ready for my cousin, Kowhai’s wedding with Shayyne.

THAT WAS MY 3 DAY YEAR NINE HEARENGA

Last week year nine cohort went to Opononi. There was two groups Araiteuru and Niwa, Niwa went to Manea – The Footsteps Of Kupe and Araiteuru went to the beach. After going to Opononi we went to the marae we were staying at and had a powhiri. Once the powhiri had finished the girls hung out and waited for dinner and the boys went to their marae to unload their stuff and have showers before coming back for dinner. The next day we woke up pretty early and of course my group had to walk up the maunga first. When we got back from walking up Whakarongorua we went to the marae and had a quick snack before heading off to Mangungu Mission House. At Mangungu some boys got in trouble for drawing all over the visitors book. On Friday we packed our marae in the morning, had breakfast, loaded up the busses and got ready to go for our last walk for the haerenga.

The most challenging activity for me was walking back to the busses because it was very hot and I was sick of everyone at that point. The most enjoyable moment for me was after dinner hanging out with everyone, playing cards, tag and getting to know all my teachers. Matua Rob taught some of us how to do a magic trick with the cards and we went and shows people how to do it once we learned how to do it ourselves. It was cool seeing everyone bonding with each other and coming out of their shells. It felt nice making new friends and meeting new people that I had not seen around school.

I stepped out of my comfort zone when I talked to new people because I normally stay in my own circle and don’t talk to others. I learned that if i branch out I will make new friends and learn new faces. The advice I would give to any future year nines  is to go to the haerenga even if you aren’t sure about it or don’t wanna go because it gives you a good chance to step out of your comfort zone, make new friends, meet your teachers, learn some history and get to know your year nine cohort.

In week 3 I was able to attend the trip to Hokianga and it was so fun except the last day. On the first day we had to put our suitcases on the bus. I was in group 6 and our group leader was Whaea Shweta, she is a very awesome lady. I was sitting on the Niwa bus getting ready to go to Opononi. The drive to Opononi was tiring. 

When we arrived at Opononi the first place I got to see was the Manea footprints of Kupe. It was a very exciting movie. The only thing I disliked was getting whipped. After the movie we left to go on the bus and get changed into our togs to go for a swim. The water was very cold and the current was very harsh. The water was very deep but it was very clean. We were supplied with a very delicious, nutritious lunch. I just liked the sandwiches. They were yummy in my tummy. But then it’s raining it’s pouring. We went back to the bus. There’s water on our clothes and it’s very cold. We headed over to the Mataitaua marae for a powhiri and a story about the area. I had to do the mihi. Whaea Janine taught us about the area and it was very cool to learn something new.  All the boys, including me because I’m a boy, left to go to the Te Rangatahi marae to set up our beds.

The second day of the trip we woke up in the morning getting ready to go hike the maunga Whakarongorua. It was a struggle to find a spot to stop to climb the humongous and treacherous maunga. Climbing the maunga I’ve reached an understanding, there was a tree at the top and it was very old and hollow. After the hike up the maunga we went to the Mangungu mission house to see the history of the place. They had the treaty signings and a scary music box. Not much happened after we just had lunch and went to the forest pools. We came back, played then had dinner.

The very last day wasn’t quite a good one. My shoes were wet and we had to clean the maraes. I left my shoes alone for a couple of seconds and they disappeared. We left the marae to go for a walk to a dirty creek. I walked the whole thing without shoes. It was disgusting. We left the creek to go to Paihia. I didn´t have any togs so I wasn’t allowed to swim. Then we were going back to the school to get ready to go home. I had to wait for ages for my shoes and go home. The trip overall was so tough I should remember to bring my towels.

Hi my name is Kieran. My favourite show is Space jam. It’s about a son and a dad. The dad wants his son to be in the NBA just like him so he keeps pushing him but the son actually doesn’t want to do that dream. His dream is to make his own major game.
