2011

Myspace Code GeneratorIts a new year and you want to get out there make some new friends and join new clubs that seem cool, go for it because if you wait to long you realize that you have not joined any new teams. Starting at a new school was a big change for me, leaving my classmates, habits, and Teachers, but after the first day I had made new friends. I really had to push myself to introduce myself to new people and put a lot of effort into trying to find my way around the school. So put yourself out there and who knows you might make a new friend.

The Library

In Class we have been working on descriptive writing this just one of the many story's that I have wrote it is about a book that is lonely and unwanted he then moves home and is noticed.

I peer around the blank room the fresh smell of the new and loved book lingers round .I see piles and piles of stacked books on tables and wonder wether were moving home. I have sat next to the new and loved books for years wondering wether someone will pick me up read me and love me but sadly my dreams have been smashed squashed and thumped. Some of my pages are torn and musty well other books still hold the fresh smell of ink. I’ve only been issued once but I was forgotten about and left with their water bottle. Today was my chance to get noticed today was my chance to stand out today was my chance t get issued wether they liked it or not.

Maori Language week

This is my Maori language week poster for the competition.

Tena Kotu Kato. Maori language week was full swing at Pukekohe Intermediate this week with a huge variety of activates, competitions and learning of the Maori language. This year Maori language week will focus on Te Mahi Kai the language of food the key message of this is to spread the word of Maori food and the language of food as it is very important in the Maori nation. Some of the great competitions that Pukekohe intermediate have to offer are design a poster witch Jade and Ana took out they both won a hells pizza. The fishing competition witch room 43 took out and the Tero Tuesday broadcast competition.

Maori language week focuses on teaching students, families and people of all nations the importance of the Maori cutler this celebration goes on from the 26^th of July- the 1^st of august. Many classes have got right into it around pukekohe intermediate some doing special performances others writing story’s about it Maori language week has got a great feel about it this year, not only does it bring community’s together but families classes and friends. I think everyone should have a little bit of Te Mahi Kai. Wether you make a traditional Maori dish or learn how to say a Maori greeting.

This is celebrating the new term and all the things that it will offer the website is Wordle.com it is a great website and it is really cool to use. You will notice that all the words are relevant to the topic the new term,some of the things are Maori language week everyone should use this website as you can have any words any colour and any deign give it a go.
