The Magicians Nephew is the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia. I’m in love with this book due to the creative imagination that is spread throughout the books pages. Out of 10 I would rate this book a 7 due to the fact that each word of every page is able to produce an image in your head which interests you. I would recommend this book to all who are in love with fantasies.

A Million shades of grey is a thrilling fiction that tells the story of a young boy who experiences having his dreams come true. With a sudden twist, he and his village are caught up in the battle of two countries. Y’tin can only think about the survival of his Elephant and family. He builds up the courage to save their lives and his. Out of 10 I would give this book a rating 8. This is due to the continuous interest that is carried out throughout the book. I also have an interest of how the age of the main character is similar to mine, and yet he has experienced much more than I. I would recommend for older pupils and students to read this book.

Treaty of Waitangi Recount.

Maori:
Tiriti o Waitangi has caused oh so many problems and meetings. Thankfully, the gods have allowed us all to agree to sign the treaty. All the chiefs go into a Tape Nakara and wait for hours until they are called upon to sign it.


I could feel the prickly grass brush against my feet as I walked towards the British missionary. I glanced down at the treaty, preparing myself to sign it. There was another paper next to it with words I didn’t understand on it.


I could feel the adrenaline kick in, I picked up the feather and I wrote. The atmosphere was dead silent, all the sweat alone produced by me, would be able to water the roses planted in a garden.

I placed the feather on the table. My signature was officially permanent on the Tiriti o Waitangi. I turned around and walked back to where my tribe had been standing in suffocation. I saw as they tried to find a scent of fresh air.

The temperature in this Tape Nakara was AUE too hot and the scents of nature filled the air. I’m surrounded by odors that stench and reek so strongly, I am not able to have a straight face. The smell only gets worse as the minute passes by and

The wait felt like forever. I walked out of the Tape Nakara with pride and have never felt much jubilant in my whole life.


British:


The Treaty of Waitangi had commenced. As missionaries, we had fulfilled our quest to our Queen. Just another few weeks in this uncooperative weather, and we’ll be gone. Hoo ray!


 I sat there waiting for the Maori Chiefs to sign the treaty. My bottom was so numb, you could cook it out of boiled water.


Everybody waited as the maori chiefs signed the treaty. My bottom hurt from sitting there for hours until it went numb and couldn’t feel a limb on my body. I watched as the maori chiefs sat there on the ground with sore ankles and aching feet from folding their legs all day. Then I thought, this day was going to be long...


As time elapsed, the elevated facial expressions changed into a nauseous expression due to the horrendous stench of body odour enforcing myself and others to confine the air left to exhale.


Temperatures had ascended expeditiously. Perspiration started to become noticeable on all the witnesses including myself compressed in the white, quill tent. I positioned myself near the entrance of the tent for the cold, outside breeze to decrease the amount of perspiration that was producing from my underarms, scalp and forehead.


Everyone was relieved when the treaty of waitangi came to a conclusion.

This is a recount that was created collaboratively by a group of writers in RM 5. It tells the story of two perspectives: A Maori signing the treaty of waitangi and a British person signing it. Hopefully you are able to feel like you have experienced this.

Letters to the future Fine

Dear Term 4 Fine,

You should’ve had a great year and hopefully prizegiving has passed. If yes, then hopefully you received the Dux award for 2015. I know it will have been a lot of work, but it definitely is worth it. By achieving this, you should’ve paid attention in class, challenge yourself with subjects you are not confident in and studied hard in order for you to do well in our assessments. Are you happy with the outcome of your assessments? Would you have endeavoured harder? Did you not overwork yourself? Hopefully you have done well in your assessments and are the 2015 dux.

From,

Term 1 Fine

This task was set by Room 5's student teacher. We were suppose to write a letter to the future us. My most important goal I want to achieve is the DUX award because it can help me get into a good college.

My Kiwiana Poster


This is my poster that displays information about Kiwiana. It shows the basic knowledge of what Kiwiana is. Enjoy!
