Dear Whaea Saf,

Thank you so much for your amazing teaching at our really cool school camp. Your Maori arts and crafts activities I found were really enjoyable. Making different string designs, and trying the high note challenge is especially fun. I really love your silly jokes because they are so funny and they just make everything better. I had so much fun learning different types of Maori arts and I hope you enjoyed doing it with us. Thank you for giving your time to make camp more enjoyable and I really appreciate it and it was probably my favourite activity.

Yours sincerely, 

Khai Yi (Room 7)

Muainaina

A long creaky bridge leading to a cliff and mysterious dusty old church. Wooden brown sail boats approaching the church. Fences leading to the bridge. There is a sign that was shoved into the grass. The grass has the perfect soil to grow healthy vegetables. The river was flowing very slowly so not like waves but it’s moving.

The sky is gloomy like it was about to shatter in tears. Blurry white clouds filled in the sky just like fluffy ginormous marshmallows that there were only little places to see the sky. The river was pitch black. Dark trees surrounding the nearby church. People on their sail boats paddling to the bridge.

Te Tiriti

Task Decription: This if my create task of my rules for pt england to follow for it to be a good year. I tried to think of the most best words they came up into my mind. I know it’s not that many words but also know that these are the main words that are best that I could think of. I felt calm and foucsed while doing this because it was calming because didn’t really had much to do and I was foucsed because I needed to think about the best words.
