TREASURE ISLAND
This story starts in the Admiral Benbow , an inn. Jim Hawkins (played by Quin) works there. Billy bones (played by Shanti) comes to stay. He has a treasure map . He was once a pirate , a member of Captain Flintys crew. He is visited by Black Dog (played by Stevie )who fights him. Then the evil Blind Pew (played by sasha ) comes and scares him to death.
Jim gets the map . He gets the Goodies, Dr Livesey (played by Charlie ) Squire Trelawney (played by Sarah ), Mr Dance (played by Shannen ) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola. The captain is Captain Smollet(played by Makayla ) who gets Long John Silver (played by Maddison ) to collect a crew. Long John silver is evil and one of Captain Flints pirates. He collects all the other pirates and away they sail.
On the trip Jim hears of a plot to kill the goodies . When they get to the island the Goodies go to the stockade . The baddies go in search of the treasure . An old pirate called Ben gunn (played by Zion ) who has been marooned , arrives and joins the goodies.
Jim takes off and sails the s around the island. The pirates have nowhere to go. There's a big . The pirates are winning until they hear Ben Gunn who they think is a ghost of Captain Flint. Ben gunn screams horribly..
They all run away and the goodies find the treasure and sail back to England.
My favourite part was When Billy almost got shot.

On Monday the 7th of September it was oral health week. Each person wrote something about teeth and some people did other stuff about teeth like posters and other activities. On Friday all of the school had a shared lunch. There was chicken egg sandwiches carrots and celery and other food. My favourite thing about oral health week was the shared lunch. I liked the egg sandwiches.  |

ANIWANIWA
On Monday the 29th of October the new multi purpose room opened. Lots of people came to see it open like the Mayor Richard Kempthorne. Every class got their chairs and sat down around the room. Whaea Tania did a karanga and Whaea Gladys said some prayers. After that everyone went in and had a look. Then Whaea Marion Edwin said the thank you to all the people that helped. They unveiled the tukutuku which is a weaving. At the end everyone got a biscuit and a chocolate and went to morning tea.
KAPA HAKA
Room 3 and 4 are going to do a performance at the Kapa haka festival. We have three songs they are Poutini the boys haka also Pa mai and E Rona. We have been practicing for about a term. At the start we weren't very good but we have improved heaps. We have leaders for each song. We were practicing every Wednesday but now we practice at least three times a week. Our teacher is Whaea Brooke. My favourite song is poutini because we get to shout really loud.
THE GREAT DAY

The show was amazing. We did great but I reckon we went too fast. The other shows were pretty good, in particular The whanau class because they had some good lead singers. On both days the hall was packed.
