She is a very kind and lovely teacher and very bubbly and full of surprises.

She trained to be a scientist but ended that job became a teacher.
she has been a teacher here at Kaitao middle school for 3 years so far, and this is
my second year at kaitao with her and Ive really enjoyed being in her class. Every day Miss is full of surprises. Miss D is in Solomon house and every house competition like once i remembered when we had the wacky hair day she came to school with alot of orange things in her hair it was very wacky, and it looked like it was on fire it was very hot. She is so thought full of us room 3 children, one time i remember when she had to leave us and was going over to Australia and was on the we Easter weekend, all of room 3 came in and found a special surprise on our desk it was little chocolate marshmallow egg and this cool book we were all so happy.

Stage Challenge...

This year I participated in the 2009 Stage Challenge. We performed at the Convention Center it was a blast and I had so much fun. There were 3 Primary Schools 1 Middle School, which was us, and 1 High School. I met lots of new people and made lots of new friends.

Our performance was about different people coming together as one.We had a girls Hip Hop group, Boys Hip Hop group a jazz and poi group it was great. The performance first started off with the boys doing there dance and thinking this is how its supposed to be but then,the jazz group came on stage and kicked the boys of then the jazz girls started doing there dance, then all of a sudden, the hip hop girls came on and said well actually this is how we prefer it, But no said the poi girls as they came on stage why don't we all just be one, and so that's how it ended. We all had a dance for each group and then at the end we all got together and did one big dance. I had so much fun. I was a bit nervous at first but got over it, and just thought to my self just have fun, which i did. We stayed till prize giving we were awarded with 6 awards, i was so proud of everyone.

Marae Trip

This some photos that the Accelerate Academy went on for our Marae trip.

When we arrived we were welcomed on to the Marae by a lady doing a Karanga it was very fascinating and she had a very neat voice. We were invited inside were it was warm and cosy. The was a man called the Kaumatua who done a little speech in Maori. Inside was very amazing because there were very neat carvings that some people had done inside the Marae. While we were inside the Kaumatua was talking about the Ancestors of the Marae and how the Marae was built.Inside the Marae it was cool because he told us one side of the Marae represented the past and the other side represented the future.After that all had finished we all went out side for a quick nibble and a snack the we were off to Te Puia...

I was so excited to be going to Te Puia because i had never been there before. We were all split up into our class room groups and we given a guide to tour us around Te Puia, our guides name was Weronika she was very kind. I had so much fun at Te Puia and i learnt lots of cool things. It was so cool we got to see the bubbling hot Mud Pools and steamy Geysers.Another we got to see was this man that was carving on a big large piece of wood it was amazing to see all the patterns that he was doing. I had such a blast at the Marae and Te Puia and learnt lots of interesting things, it was a great experience.

Heres an poem that i made up for our ANZAC poems

There once was an old lady who once was mum
to a son who left to hold a gun
bombs and shrapnel killed many more
the soldiers got shot and hit the floor
as the soldier knocks at the mothers door
sorry miss your son died at war.
