Matariki Week by Gemma, Drew, and Cheyanne
During week 9, term 2, room 12 had a Matariki week. We learnt what Matariki meant and we read lots of myths and legends. We made bread in the morning so it would be done by lunch time. In our class we even had challenges to get points. They were challenges you did in each iwi group. The challenges were tukutuku panels, who wants to be a Maoriaire, murals and many more. The iwi who won by Friday got shouted pizza from our teacher.
A Journey to Education to Parliament by Angus Lewry
As the minutes past, Kakapo syndicate waited to catch the nine sixteen train from Linden station.
After fifteen minutes of waiting the train slowly came to a halt. We all clambered in the fourth carriage, all sixty kids in one carriage you could not imagine what it was like on that busy Friday morning.
When we reached our destination we all went to sit in our class lines except room ten which were getting the guided tour first.
Room twelve started to make their way to Parliament grounds to have morning tea and a chance to let out our energy instead of letting it out in Parliament.
At ten thirty we were told to make our way to the back of the beehive to meet our tour guide Mike who reminds me of my Uncle.
He took us to a room to meet the MP for Tawa, (which some of you may have seen him on TV before) his name was Peter Dunne. He told us what he does in Parliament and in the ministry of health. He also answered some questions we asked him even though some were tricky but he still answered them in some shape of form.
Later Mike started the tour starting at the House of Representatives were he showed where some people sat. Then he took us to the library and the 750 000 books in there. Later he took us back to the entrance of the parliament building where we ate our lunch.
Most of us had finished our lunch, so Ryan and I played around the grass. We had about forty five minutes to eat and play around before leaving for the Archives.
We started to make our way to the Archives where the Treaty of Waitangi is kept.
The Archives was only five minutes down the road but we all separated into three groups so we crossed the three crossings separately .
The chamber where they kept the Treaty’s was dark because the lights could affect the Treaty’s importance.
We were at the Archives for about fifteen minutes before Mrs. Brockie said we were to depart from the Archives to Fran Kitts Park for a run around.
When we arrived at the park Ryan and me were on the slide and making the slide block up.
At the end of the day, I felt really tired and felt like sleeping and I do not like sleeping at all.

MY FOOT SURGERY by Gabi Hale
On the 22nd of April at seven in the morning, I went to Wellington Hospital with my Mum.
When we got there we went up to Ward 18 in the children’s ward. In Ward 18 a nurse called Ainye came in and gave me one of those funny dress things and got my Mum to sign some forms.
Forty minutes later Dr. Rob Rowan and his team arrived and told me what they were going to do, screw metal plates into my feet. Then they put me on a trolley and pushed me to a really small room.
For another twenty minutes I talked to my mum until finally the nurses came in and wheeled me into theatre.
After they had gotten a needle into me (a lot of screaming happened) my mum told me they were giving me some milk through the needle. I knew she had been lying so I started screaming again.
When I woke up I was in a different room. I tried sitting up but I fell back down because I was so dizzy.
A few minutes later my mum and dad came in and gave me a hug.
The next day I was allowed to go home.
It had been a hard day and night, I was glad to be home.
