Kia Ora Bloggers.
Welcome to…“Katipa’s awesome adventures in the land of wellington”
Once every two years, our Principle Jane Lindsey would show a very special piece of action to the year 7 and 8s by taking us to Wellington to see outstanding sights, like the REAL treaty of Waitangi.
Sadly I cannot list all the places we went to on the post, so check out this DLO for more information (still working on it).
Anyway, I personally loved the trip because it helped some of us socialise with people we don’t talk to that much. The other reason was it just helped us to refresh ourselves from all the hardworking we do at school. What I’ve learnt from this is to be grateful for what people do for you whether it’s something small like making your lunch for school or something big like taking you to the museum. NOW I am ready to take on school work once again. BYE.

DUFFY'S LEGENDARY ADVENTURE THAT MADE HIM A "LEGEND"
Last week, more people from the duffy book community came to Paihia School.
So far I think it was our third visit…
The storie’s topic was about someone called Duffy being trapped in a game called magic bricks, then going on an adventure to try figure a way out. Here’s the DLO to tell you more about Duffy’s adventure along with the game.
This was so far the coolest story the duffy community has introduced to our school, because it was very creative and imaginative.
Their planning on the background was very well executed.
What I’ve learnt from this is, to always be creative and to always follow your imagination because it can help you get a lot of unique/interesting ideas to help entertain your audience.

KATIPA'S LEGENDARY ATHLETIC SKILLS
Every Wensday afternoon and Friday after lunch, our school does athletic training.
We do this once a year to train for the real athletics.
What? You don’t know what athletics are?
Well, athletics is basically a series of sporty activites (NOT SOCCER OR RUGBY), the activities we perform are high jump, long jump, sprints/relays, shot put and discuss.
And we do it in groups. I’m in group four.
HERE’S THE DLO ABOUT THE ACTIVITIES.
My challenges were discuss and high jump.
Sadly, I didn’t get to do Shot put or Long jump last week because we had some interferences, with the weather.
My specialties being sprints/relays.
What I’ve learnt from this is that even ANYONE have their own weaknesses, but it’s always good to try, so next time I do Athletics training I’ll try more harder.

kapa haka
Kia Ora everyone, my name’s Katipa and welcome to my blog post.
What I was learning : I’m going to share with you my day about teaching the rest of the senior school the proper actions of Aha Ngapuhi E.
Here’s my DLO (actions are on it).
I enjoyed it because there weren’t that much important interruptions. One of them were my three mates getting in trouble for giggling. Even if I felt bad for them I felt a little bit of disappointment because it made us waste a bit of time and also because they’re some of my big inspirations in the kapa haka roopu.
Reflection: what I’ve learnt from this is even sometimes… the students have to become the teachers. And that we can’t teach students something we don’t fully understand ourselves.

writing write and some more writing
Kia Ora everyone, my name’s Katipa and welcome to my blog post.
What I was learning: today I’m going to share with you my explanation writing.
Here’s my DLO.
What I didn’t do well: I didn’t do very good in using passive voice and present tense because I didn’t really understand it.
What I did do well: what I did do well though was making my writing very persuasive.
What I did to fix my writing: I fixed my writing by participating in a group conference, my teacher explained to me what I needed to do.
Reflection: What I’ve learnt from this is even if the writing you’re supposed isn’t your type of liking, you must always use the correct sentence structure for the correct topic.

THE LEGENDARY T SHAPED
In Te Ngahere we’ve been learning how to explain our writing with the correct sentence structures by using T shaped. The purpose of this was to learn new sentence structures to help us improve our writings that explains subjects.
here's a DLO
My personal favourite article was Kopinga, a place of peace, because it tells me about the Moriori people, and I actually thought the writers of the story just wrote Maori wrong, but I found out that they’re different from us.
Reflection: what I learnt from this is that even if you work by yourself, you must always find help if you really need it.
But try first. Has my DLO helped you with your writing?
If so, I’m happy I could help.
WHO WILL WIN THE RUGBY WORLD CUP?
In Te Ngahere we’ve been doing an activity because we were learning to list ALL the teams that made it into the rugby world cup.
Here’s the DLO
MY learning for this was to learn about rugby groups from other countries like the Wallabies (Australian rugby team) along with learning which country the world cup was being held at, with that being Japan.
Reflection:
Thanks to this, I can now memorise the rugby world cup groups.
Have you ever had trouble knowing what group was playing?
