William Pike Challenge Award

On Tuesday the 16th of March we were cooking for the William PIke Challenge Award. I had a good crew of Isaac Tim and me (and my mum). We made sushi with salmon and carrot in it and served it with soy sauce (my favorite) ginger and wasabi. The rest of the class got to make what they wanted to make.

This is what happened: We prepared our sushi for the big night ahead. When that was done we put it in the fridge. 3 hours later I took it out. tim said 'wow that looks good yum'. And it was. When we brought it out to william he thought it was from a shop. And he gave it 11 stars out of 10, which we thought was good.

In the end we went to the wharehui to make a start to the william pike challenge. He showed us an interesting video / slideshow that was telling us about what happened to his leg and encouraged us to do think that we want to do and never give up.

Point of view 'Wonder work'

Wonder First person point of view

Our task for writing  last week was to make a quick essay about what point of view we thought it was. We also has to find examples for quotes that we found in the text. We had to have 3 paragraphs excluding introduction and conclusions.

‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when they see him. This is R.J Palacio’s first novel and it is written in the first person.

The story is in first person view because in the story he says “I know I’m Not An Ordinary 10 Year Old Boy.”

I think it’s in first person view because the story says “I can’t say I didn’t always want to go to school because that wouldn't be exactly true.”

I think it is in first person view because he says “I want to wear my boba fett costume”.

In conclusion R.J palacio Wrote this story in first person and made it very very interesting.

Cayde's Mihi Mihi

In the first two weeks of school, Rimu class learnt how to create and say our mihi in Māori. This is our introduction to our class and community. We also created a ‘visual mihimihi’ to match our mihis. It had three  parts to it:

1. A self  portrait or photo
2. place of significance
3. Symbols or pictures that represent our culture

Those of us who spoke clearly, confidently with excellent pronunciation with  great visuals and layout scored well on our rubric.
