Racism 

In our world there is black and white

Why are angels white and devils are black

I am afraid to go outside, afraid of dying

early because of the color of my skin

More of my people are dying for no reason 

it is torture 

I hate feeling like this, we are just slaves

among the whites

Black lives don't matter until they are dead

right?

We are all the same so why are we being

treated like we don’t matter

The world will not be equal until they

learn that we have rights

I will not be silent anymore i will stand up

for my people

We don't deserve to go down and I won't

go down without a fight

we are not useless 

Being black is an honor and we all come

from greatness

I am not just another black man/woman who

came from the hood

I am a black man/woman who has rights and

I won’t stop fighting 

Until we have won the war

I Can't breathe, Black lives matter!

Coronavirus poem

Coronavirus poem

There was a virus that ruled the world

we were stuck inside our own house

We were like prisinors

Life just wasn't the same

Kids couldn't go school

Adults couldn't go work

We were stuck and we couldn't get out

We had to follow our country's rule to stay safe

But then our prisoner days didn't last for long

Suddenly we were being freed 

Kids could go to school

Adults could go back to work

We catched up with our school mates

We are happy, we are free

The last few weeks have showed us that tough

Times never last and soon everything will go back

To normal

I think her/his purpose was to teach other students that even
though we are in lockdown we can get through this and that tough
times don’t last forever.

If you were a student in this class, what would you say to the teacher
about the poem?

I would say how amazing this poem is and that it has teached me that
even though the coronavirus has us staying at home, that it wouldn't last
forever and that we can get through this.

If you had to change a line in this poem, what would it be and why?

Coronavirus.

What are 4 ideas you understand about the poem?

That during the lockdown we have learnt to be more resilient, even thought
there might be some tough times that we go through we have learnt that it
doesn't last long, our order was to keep ourselves safe and obey the rules we
have been given and that things have changed once the lockdown has started
we are more cautious about wearing a mask when we go out or staying within 2
meters of everyone.   

What ‘tough stuff’ is the poem talking about?

The tough stuff that the poem was talking about is about how the lockdown
and coronavirus came and ruined our plans of going to a family members house
or celebrating a birthday party or even going out for takeaways.

Te Oro - Reflection

In the morning room 7 and room 9 were going on a trip to

Te Oro, first we did a roll call on who is here and who is

not then we all packed our lunches in different bags, we

all went inside the bus and the bus driver drove us all to

our destination.

Next we all hopped out of the bus and made a line, the

wahine had to go to the front of the boys, next the people

who worked at Te Oro introduced themselves, then we got

splitted up some went to carve some maori patterns, some

went to paint a rock and the others including me were learning

on how to weave a flax.

After that my group went and sat down on the mat where we

were going to weave some flax, first we all introduced ourselves

then we got splitted up, the girls with one teacher and the boys

with the other, what I have learnt from the experience is that

you have to prey before you start to weave the harakeke.

Then we got straight to weaving but since it was almost matariki

night we made starts, we all got 4 flax then we followed the

instructions that our instructor gave use, some struggled like me

but I kinda got it, then once we were done we cut a bit off from

the side and made it spiky so it looked like a star. Then our

instructor gave us some skinny harakeke to attach to our stars.

Lastly we all said thank you to all of the people who worked with

us and helped us in our groups, then we had our morning tea and

headed back to Glenbrae. It was a fun experiment at Te Oro. I

really liked weaving my own necklaces out of harakeke. It was a

fun experience and I wish I can go back to Te Oro again.

Making a winter garden is simple, first you will need

some vegetable seeds or off cuts of vegetables to

re-grow then you will need to prepare to plant the

seeds by forking the beds and removing the weeds,

to get the most out of small spacing try hexagonally

spacing rows.

With some simple rainfall and less pest and diseases

problems through winter your vegie patch will be well

produced. In winter the crops will grow slower in cool

conditions some crops might also require a cover of a

frost cloth overnight to protect young and tender tips.

In winter you can grow vegetables like Broad beans,

Broccoli, Brussels sprout, Cabbage, Celery, Parsley,

Cauliflower and other winter vegetables you can find.

Before making a winter garden you will have to plan

the date of when you are going to start your winter

garden and learn about how to make a winter garden

so you will have some knowledge of what you are doing

instead of being clueless of what is going on.
