Museum Trip

Room ten was at the museum. One of the places we visited was the volcano room. In the volcano room there were some kind of different rocks that come out of a volcano. I tried to lift one rock up out of 3. I was trying really hard but it was really heavy. When I lifted the rock up I was sweating. Next, I wrote down facts about a volcano. This is one of the facts: Volcanologists might also use breathing equipment.
Before we started doing those things we went into the volcano house. It showed the news and it showed the ash pouring out of the volcano. Next room ten went out of the volcano house and went to Maori Natural History gallery.

Fraction Flags

Hi everyone This is my creation on Fraction flags. It was amazing when I finished it. The colors I used were green and yellow. I was trying to divide my flag in half using a symmetrical pattern.Before I did it it was quite hard but I figured  out you need 12 pieces then I have 1 half then the other half is the same. I was very proud of myself when I finished it. Here is the link for

My family treasure

This is my family treasure- an oblong drum It says the name in Niuean. The name of the drum is  Mata Ki Luga.
This is my dad's dad's drum and my other grandad gave it to my dad before he died and my dad gave it to me when I was eight years old so I've kept it for one year. When I have the drum sticks in my hand I like to hit the drum loudly. It sounds like loud and its an instrument that we play at church when it is a special day. The time we always play it is when it's the church's birthday.

Koro's gift

Koro’s Gift

When Moko arrived at Koro’s house, she ran out of the car and went up to Koro’s glass door and peeped through. Then Moko rang the doorbell. Koro woke up with a fright and grabbed hold of the bone carving.

“Have you come to stay with Koro”                                                  “ Yes I have I’m staying for two weeks”. After dad left to go back home, Moko went to sleep. She had a dream that the bone carving was stolen.

She screamed “Arrrrrrrrrgh” and Koro came rushing in the room.

Moko said, “The bone carving is gone!” Koro said, “No, no I don’t wear it at night. Have a good rest.”

In the morning Koro and Moko had breakfast. After breakfast, they went to the basement. Moko looked at all the Maori carvings. There were ones made out of greenstone. Koro gave her a smaller bone carving. She thought, “That’s the one he’ll give to my family.” but she didn’t say it.
