Science

Today the Otago University that specializes in science came to our school. We were making indigo diy from scratch .After we made it we tie-dye little pieces of fabric with the dye which were made. I had my finger in it and then my finger went blue because I had to move around the fabric. Unfortunately I didn’t my group push the little Beacon over and it’s built all over the table.

Tupou Neiufi

Today on the 20/10/2025 we had a paralympian come to our school. Tupou Neiufi competes in swimming. Her specialtee is backstroke. She is a gold medalist in the Tokyo Paralympics 2020. Today we did planting with her and some people from New Zealand Landcare trust.play bought 12 native trees with them planted at our bike track.reason that all of this happened was because a kid called Eko in my class one and a photo award so the paralympian came to plant with us.

My special place.

Where do you come from I ask

 

I come from a place where the cliffs stretch high towards the dazzling sky. Where the waves crash and churn against the side of the small keeler. The small enclosed bays with deeply gouged out caves.I can hear the strong gales rattling the rigging by night. And I know that Dawn approaches because I can hear the wicker screeching from the shore. I feel the gentle rocking of the waves slapping the side of the boat while I lie peacefully in bed with the stars twinkle in above.

 

 I come from a place where the wind is warm and the water is refreshing. The sound of the sails and winches being wound in is comin. The VHS announced the tide forecast for Terry. The grand Mention House standing proud in the bay now used by tourists. I can see the blue ferry using its amazing powerful side thrusters to manoeuvre it carefully.

Kawau Island

At the start of this week we made pet rooks for the junior school. We had them around the school for the junior school to find. We had a picture of all the rocks and we took them off as we found them.

We painted the rocks using paint pens and a little design with vivid.

Mine is the small yellow rock with a :-).

Pet day

On Wednesday the 15th of September 2025 Oruaiti school had a pet day.

We had to do art for pet day as well. This is some of my art.

There were also lots of pets in the hall such as cats, guineapigs ,rabbits chickens and Roosters.

Decorative snail art

At the start of this week we were making snails with different features instead of a shell on there back. I chose to do a sailing boat on the back of my snail. We had to paint the big areas of our snail and feature and we could use paint pens for the outline and small details.

Our snails were judged on pit day for pet day art and I came first place.
