Ki o rahi

Ki o rahi

Last Thursday we were watching a video about the game called ki o rahi. It is a Maori game but we did not play it because it was raining. Our coach’s name is Chelsea and the only games we played were only tagging games. We played infinity tag, bull rush and they were kinda hard for me but it was all right. The games were so much fun that I really loved it. The games were really creative because I have never played these games before and I learned how to play new games. I really hope we can play it again but especially to learn Ki o rahi.

How to make a tree hut

Last term I made my tree hut and I really liked it. I used cardboard to make my walls and floor and then I cut a wall to make a door and then I glued the polystyrene to make the shape of my human friends. I used plastic Glad Wrap for my windows and I used the toilet rolls to hold my tree hut off the ground. Then I made the roof glued with a glue gun and then I waited a little bit and then it was dry and all stuck. 

After that I used ice block sticks to make my ladder so I can climb up into the tree hut and I also put some toilet rolls in there for furniture. I really enjoyed painting my hut in the end. 

Then after that we tested  our tree huts.  We had to put the huts in front of  the fan to make sure it couldn’t fall over in the wind. 

The second test is kinda the same thing but it was to put 4 scissors inside to see if it was strong enough to take some weight. Then the last test was the water test where you have to make sure the water won’t go in your tree hut  but I failed that one but at least I completed two of the tests. 

I really really enjoyed it and it was fun. I had a great time doing my tree hut and I love my tree hut so so much because I did it by myself. I’m proud of my hut because it was different to the other huts and it looked like a triangle and a tent.

About me

Talofa, my name is Nixcent and I am 8 years old. I am in Year 4 at St Patrick’s School and I am in Room 6. I live with my family in Panmure and I am the youngest. My culture is Samoan and we speak to each other in Samoan sometimes. I really really like eating Samoan food.

I am great at soccer and reading books about animals. My challenge is writing. I really really wish I was good at it. At school my goal is to be able to edit my writing so that is makes sense. 

I am inspired by my mom because she makes the best food and I am grateful to her. When it is sleep time my mom always reminds me to do my prayer and that is why I am inspired by my mom.
