Butterfly

Perching on a leaf, she whimpers. 
Sorrowfully looking down, sighing. 
Scissor cut wings flutter dullfully midair.
Stars whirl around, like a tornado.
 Her eyes open, she looks around. 
Although just a blur, she figured she fell.
Eventually a puddle crowds her feet.
Drooping,her antennae sulk.
Above her head a cloud huddles.

Koru Art

 Koru Art

At the beginning of this year we used pastels to create koru art. I am in tui so I used green. The hammer head represents strength and the korus represent house captains caring for the little ones.

 I got a lot out of my learning conference. I think I could have been a little more organised, for I had not double checked my spelling mistakes. Click the link below to see my finished learning conference.

   Integrity games By Isla

Adrenaline pumping, the 5 and 6 year olds await their next game. Hungry for fun and some bored. We modeled and gave examples. Now it was time...

I tried to ciece their attention for they were forgetting to run back the skipping ropes. Like an ice-cream toppling over they fell off the stilts. Going around the bending poles and after that jumping into the hula hoops. “change direction”.

Group after group came while the other group we were paired up with had their rotation, me and Reese set up.

Although hard work I enjoyed the challenge and I am hoping we get to make integrity games next year.     

The Bike Trip

The Bike Trip                                    By Isla My legs yawned. They were tired and so was I. But I kept going. I hopped off, there was no way I was staying on. After I turned I hopped back on, I got scared so I biked at my own pace. Slow. Everyone took over me, I hopped off a lot as I was scared going down hill. Oh no. My chain had come off and my eyes started to fog up. Although someone helped me a tear dribbled down my face. In the end I made it back,panting but glad. Lily was waiting ready to greet me. “Do you want to go again?” I smiled. This time round I was much more confident and only hopping off sometimes.
