Title	How to be a Good Son/Daughter
Introduction	Are you a good son or daughter? Some kids aren’t sure. In order to be a good son or daughter you need to be sure to listen, help out and be thankful.
Information 1st idea	Listen.  One thing parents hate is when their kid doesn’t listen to them, and that doesn’t just mean hearing. Listening is when you look at your parents when they talk and actually process what they’re saying. Then once you’ve processed what they’ve said, actually go and do it.
Information 2nd idea	Help Out  Parents love it when they’re kids are helpful around the house. Especially when you do it without being asked. Try little things, like washing the dishes or even just bringing in the groceries and it’ll make things a lot easier for your parents. Helping around truly has its advantages.
Information 3rd idea	Be Thankful  Your parents do a lot for you. They feed you, clothe you, put a roof over your heads. That’s just a tiny portion of how much love your parents put into you. So say thank you and show it through your actions. Maybe even give your parents a massage when they come home from work, or give them breakfast in bed in the morning. Your parents want to feel loved and appreciated too.
Conclusion	So now that you’ve read my story about “Role Models” are you strong, powerful and motivational enough to be a good role model? Everyone has the strength to be a role model. So use your strength and become a better role model then you already are!

Everyday Theatre

Today We got a very special visitor named soy sauce . We got to play a game and figure out the characters problems , we asked questions but they had to be appropriate . The Characters were
        T - Bag        Jack - Hat      Maraea - Scarf         Becca - Book         Brian - Tag
We had to figure out why Maraea treats Becca so special , even though that's not her real daughter . She also gave us a card for whenever we need help or are stuck in a situation we could call a number .

The legend Of Kava Tonga

Today in literacy we watched a video about how KAVA got its name , it was very interesting to watch. It all started when only fefafa , Fefanga and there daughter were on the island until one day the king and some other men came . They were tired and needed food . The men saw fefafa and Fefanga , the couple agreed to bring the king some food . There was only 1 thing they could eat on the island but the king was sitting on it , they were left with only one option which was very heartbreaking . They were going to sacrifice there daughter for the king . One of the soilder/ men that came saw the daughter , but soon after that she was nowhere to be found . They decided to search for her but it was too late , Fefafa / her father had already killed the daughter . Once the king found out he explained how thankful he was but he refused to eat her . The king also said to leave her body alone and dont touch it . The next day they came back and two plants grew from it , one kava and the other a sugar cane . They also saw a rat that had eaten the kava it looked like it was drunk but when it went to eat the sugar cane he became sober .

- this story was very sad because they had to kill their daughter in order for the king to eat . It also showed how loyal the couple was to the king and his men . They didn't break there promise but they found another way . In the story they didn't say that the daughter was already sick so now i kinda understand why they had to kill her .

WRiting aBoUt YeAr 7 sTeP uP

Last Week i didnt go to camp so i stayed back and did the the year 7 step up programme . We got split into three groups and the year 8s were split into the three groups too. I got put into group 2 . Our teacher was Mrs Ilaoa .

First we went to our teachers class (home class for the week) . We had to figure out a chant and team name . I went to go record the other team . Mrs Moalas group was call THUNDER . Wheae Kelly's group was called DUCK LIFE quack quack.  Mrs Ilaoas group was STRIKERS ( the group i was in ) .

After 1 hour we finally got our chant and name finished. We performed infront of the other groups our team won and got 150 points . In middle block we did our first rotation , we did activites with cups, marshmallows and pasta and biscuts .

The secound day we did murder mysteries , it was very hard because i forgot the asnwers from last year. We moved on and did the second mystery . WE finshed and got all of them correct . WE went to wheae kelly afterwards . We made quotes inside of a shape or object.  We had sports everyday after lunch .

On the last day we had assembly and we earned points there. Afterwards we had a riff off and we stacked cups . We got trouble so we had to clean the classes . We watched a movie then ate the yummmmmmy shared lunch . We stayed in and offered to clean , whaea kelly gave us some hot chips . We cleaned some more during last block and we finally got to go to class. We hanged out then went to class.
