Koru art

In term one the class did koru art they were designed  to represent our school house Kakapo, Kiwi, Tui and Kea. The most preferred symbol on the portraits was the mangapore (hammerhead) because    it represents strength . I did my koru art  by having three hammerheads representing  kahikatea team the house leaders and kawaka team . Then I did  some koru like roots for a plant meaning that our  junior school ensures that we continue to grow as a house.By Aidan

Production

                                           Production  

 

  In Term 3 WK 8 kahikatea team made a production called choices for life. I played  the role of a talking tree who has a grudge against people. I think I played my part well  by throwing my voice so that everyone could hear me . so all and all
I think that production went rather well. By Aidan

Aidan's Learning Conference - Term 1 2017

 My learning conference went along nice and smoothly I thought because I explained quite clearly how my learning was going. I could have picked less distracting pictures for background so that as well as hearing me present my learning, my parents could read it as well.

Integrity games reflection by Aidan

Integrity games
Last term me , mac and max pieced together a game called dragon nest for the day when we along with everyone else in kahikatea team would present our game to a group of ten or so juniors and get them to play it .I thought the game was a success because they had   a jolly time running around stealing the ‘eggs’ and avoiding the ‘dragon’. We had to change the game at the last minute because some things didn’t work as we  planned such as instead of being out the people getting tagged just returned to their ‘nest’

Abseiling

By Aidan       

I take a deep breath and begin my ascent ,I can hear encouraging remarks from below. I act confident but

the worms in my stomach squirm like

never  before.I breath deeply but the abhorrent feeling

settles over me.

My heart pounds it’s prisons walls.

How did I get myself into this mess? I was at the top.

my lungs splutter to a stop, my brain reminds me of all

that could go wrong.

I climbed down like an inexperienced Dog- which is to say  badly.  As soon as my  feet touch the ground my mind functions properly. Phew!

Blue

By Aidan

Blue is the mighty ocean with tales yet untold.

It is the promise of freedom with adventure far and wide.It is sky swirling with wonders to contest.

Blue is the mighty of sapphire a treasure from the depths. It is the joy of running on this very planet. It also is the symbol of infinite strength.

Blue is the colour of the flow of life. It is what we are yet to discover.yet blue to some

Is the colour of sadness. But why?
