Pepeha

During this term Room 6 has been learning how to write a Pepeha. A Pepeha is a Maori introduction that establishes your identity and heritage. We learned how to say our Pepeha and then we said it in front of the class and then we used screen-castify to video it.This is my Pepeha. 


Tēnā koutou katoa

No Aotearoa ahau
Ko Maungwha te maunga
Ko Pacific te moana
Ko whau te awa
Ko Te Hepara pai te kura
Ko Alexander tōku pāpā 
Ko Clare tōku māmā 
Ko Eva tōku ingoa

The Gone-Wrong Robot

I am learning to: write about what happens before, during and after an event
“I hate my life,” groaned Bob. Ever since his 52nd birthday he has been bored to death because Bob has done everything he has ever wanted to do (like make millions and millions of dollars with his action movies). So one day Bob wanted do something new and improved, so he sat down on his fine glass desk and looked around his study for an idea. Bob went over to the bookshelf and reached for his action figures that were on the top. He then started playing with them. Just as Bob got out his robot action figure he thought of something. “I will make a robot,” he said.

Bob put on his coat and set off for a robot set. He found one that cost thousands of dollars but Bob bought it anyway and went back home to build. When he arrived home Bob started putting it together piece by piece, cord by cord, and then it was finally finished painted fiery red with orange stripes on the side.

Bob pressed the start button and the robot announced, “Hello I am Greg and I am going to eat you.” “NO,” shouted Bob, “I made you.” ”Too bad,” announced Greg. Then Greg stepped closer.

“Don’t you dare,” protested Bob. He had his arms up in the air. Just then Bob got a brainstorm. He has a bag on his back with blowtorch for mechanical reasons so Bob unzips the bag and gets his blowtorch out and put the blowtorch on Bob puts Greg on fire and Greg dies. Yay! Then Bob lived happily ever after making action figures until he was 92. 

Growth Mindset

"Don't stop until your proud!"

To me this mindset means ...
That when I am rushing my work I should go slower to make it more presentable. 


I could use this mindset when ...
I am rushing my work and I am distracted.

Horrible Hot Sauce

I am learning to inform my audience by sharing an entertaining moment
Have you ever tasted hot sauce? I mean by it’s self with no food with it like curry or beef. I have and it's the most disgusting food ever. I have no idea why people have it because if you have tasted it’s too hot. It ruined my taste buds but you need to hear the story about the first time I had hot sauce.

Me and My brother, Xavier were sitting at the dining room table after dinner and in front of us was Dad’s hot sauce. All we were thinking at that moment was that looks yum. Then I asked this question, “Can we try hot sauce please?” I thought that he would scream and it would be hilarious so I agreed to try hot sauce as well.

Dad said, “Okay, but it’s hot, maybe I will film it and put it on Facebook.” “ What will Mum think?” Xavier asked. Dad then trotted to their bedroom with me, Xavier following behind. Dad opened the door gracefully and saw Mum on the computer with her camera beside her. Mum said okay, so all of us went back to the kitchen including my sister Rosalie. Dad got the hot sauce and said 5,4,3,2,1…

“Hi there,” Dad announced, “My name is Alex and we have 2 contestants wanting to try hot sauce! Our first contestant is Xavier, come on out Xavier. I put some on your plate and you can dip your finger in and try it. So Xavier put his finger in the hot sauce and just when I thought he was going to scream he said the one word I didn’t want him to say... “Yum.”

What? Why? How? Now I was nervous. It was my turn now and I did exactly what Xavier did except I said…” AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!” I went running around the house screaming my head off because of that horrible hot sauce. It was as hot as the sun!

I don’t know what it will be like if I tried hot sauce again but don’t ask because all I will say is I am never eating hot sauce again, that horrible hot, hot, hot sauce ever again and I mean it! So stop asking!
