Mr. Yamasaki

Today we did origami with our Japanese teacher Mr. Yamasaki. We were learning to make a crane (the bird). I didn’t make a crane because I had to leave class. Next week we’re going to make sushi. I want to learn the Japanese alphabet.

Four way race

Cook Island Language Week

Today we had three visitors from Auckland Museum that came to our school. I learnt much about their language and history of their ancestors of how they made their rope out of coconuts. The ancestors burnt a tree log and scraped out the charcoal to make it deep. They said that the american team got the inspiration from the ancestors. We were introduced to a special drill. There was a special way to work it they asked boys and girls. I was the only one to show them how it worked. I liked how we got to interact with the equipment and weave the rope through the wood. I hope that they can come back again to teach us more about other things.

Jim Thorpe

This is my athlete profile that I made based in Jim Thorpe. My reading group has been reading about him so we made a athlete's profile.
