My act of kindness I would aim for is...

This year I am going to aim for working with anyone in the class.

The big ceremony

On Monday 11th of March a big ceremony happened for the ss Otaki .We all sat down on chairs outside and waited  soon after music started to play and we saw some very important people walk through. Soon Whaea Maharata  started to sing a waiata.

Then we sang some songs and played the New Zealand national anthem,after we sat down and waited soon after Matua Andy stood up on the stand and said some words.And then most of the visitors said some words.

After some kids came to the front with the special visitors and gave them a reef then they would put the reef on a stand or by the statue of the ss Otaki .Then bowed there heads down and waited for like 3 secondes and then it was the next persons turn.

Now its was right about the end and we all stood up and waited all quietly and let someone play music and watched the flag get pulled half way then stood in complete silence.Then when the flag we all the way up to the top the music played again.And all the visitors walked into the staff room to have a cup of tea and the was the end of the big ceremony.

my favourite part of the day was listening to the music,one thing I learnt about the ceramony was learning all about the ss Otaki.

Learning with Mrs Larnder.

Today my class and I learn't were to put full stops capital letters and pronunciation in the right spots.We also played a game with words,the are main goal was we had to make as meany sentences as we could make we only had five minutes.After we had a game we started to write sentences like what goes in the right place then we all packed up and it was pretty fun.
