My Calf Porsha

Last year (2016) I did Calf Club with a Friesian calf called Porsha. She had a nice coat but she would never lead for me. I go to Julie Pirie's farm to work on Porsha. I worked on my calf for 12 weeks until it was Calf Club. My first show was the Matamata Spring Canaveral Show. It was a horrible day for showing your calf! When we arrived there it was raining! About 30 minutes later the show had started. I felt nervous leading my calf over to the rings. First up was leading (worst for first). I was second in line. It was time for my lead and I felt like I could not do it. When I walked out of the leading ring I took a big breath. Next was Ella's lead and as soon as she finished leading it started to rain!






When everyone was finished leading the Judges were gathering up all of the points for the places. There were six places and all of the leads were really good! They started calling out the numbers until I heard my number get called out! I went into the ring with Porsha all soaked with my raincoat on. The Judge made us go in a long line and he mixed us up so we were where we needed to be. I noticed that I got 3rd! Then it started pouring down with rain! It came to Rearing time and we were all standing in the rain with our calves. The Judges judged us and put us in our places. I got 6th place! Then Dairy type came and we were standing in our rings waiting for the Judges to judge us. They lined us up and I got 3rd again!

My Finger

Monday at lunch time I hurt my finger on the Foosball table. I got it court up in where you hold the pole. Then on Tuesday night I got taken to the doctors and the doctor said go and get an xray at the hospital. We went to the hospital straight after that and waited in the waiting room for about half an hour. 

Then he finally called me in for xrays. He took 3 pictures and it was really uncomfortable. After that we went back into the waiting room for a couple of minutes. Then the nurse called me into a room and she checked my xrays. There was nothing wrong with my finger it was just bent and I could not keep it straight. So the nurse put a splint on it to keep is straight. I'm only allowed take it off when I'm in the shower. I'm not allowed to swim for 6 weeks! 

What Would Happen On My Best Weekend Ever!

On my best weekend ever I would be with my two best friends Anna-Louise & Ella. I am in Australia at the theme parks and zoo's. We are wondering around going on rides and looking at animals. I'm eating a HUGE lollipop, Anna-Louise is eating a taco and Ella is eating a double scoop ice cream (chocolate flavour). We're seeing rides everywhere and animals lock up in cages ready for people to see! The three of us are hearing people screaming and animals roaring. We are feeling exited and seem to have lots and lots of energy!   

Around The World

• Africa (I would like to visit a zoo) (money, camera)
• North America (I would like to visit some shoe shoppes) (money)
• Europe (I would like to visit festivals) (money, camera)

What Charity I Support

The Charity I support is the Rescue Helicopter because they do a lot to save or country. They need a lot of money to get around to places and for equipment and medicine. I always see the Rescue Helicopter driving around and I always think to myself what hospital they are going to. I have never been in the helicopter before and it looks so fun!    

My First Few Weeks

My first few weeks at school are pretty awesome! We get to do blogging challenges and learning power activities. This has been my favourite class out of my school life so far. It fells different not being the older year. I recon it's better being in a class with older people because they can help you more than your age group. About two weeks ago we did a task about our Learning Powers. We had to do all of these activities to get the most points. Then we had to come up with a victory dance so if we won we had to do the dance. We did not win but we had to show the dance anyway.

My Tagul

This is my Tagul. I took a photo of myself and put words that are special to me into it. I chose different colours for different words and I changed the words to a different font as well.

How to grow a strong brain

If you want your brain to be healthy this is what you need.

• You need to have a good night sleep.
• Don't stress, it doesn't help your learning.
• Eat healthy food for morning tea and lunch.
• Drink heaps of water.
• Always give your brain a challenge.
• Always have breaks when your studying.
• Change your seat every couple of hours

These are all of the steps to keep your brain healthy.

Tuakana Teina

I put myself on Tupu because I normally make the right choices and normally finish m work in time. I put myself on Tupu because I can't do some things yet and I can do some things. I am going to try to get to Tuakana by the middle of the year. I'm always going to make the right choices and try to complete my learning in time!

Resilience

RESILIENCE

I chose this word because I don't want to give up in anything I do even if it's hard and I get stuck. I will keep trying until I get the answer. Like this one time when I was doing juggling and I said to my friend I CAN'T DO THIS! I forgot to say YET! But I kept trying and then finally I could juggle two balls! It took me a while to move into juggling two balls.

I normally practise trying to juggle three balls. Sometimes I start off well but I can’t seem to get the hang of it yet! I use Resilience in everything I do especially my learning.   

My Pepeha

This is my Pepeha! It's about who I am and what I represent. For example I like soccer so I put a soccer ball on my Pepeha. I also drew the Piako River because it represents Ngatea.

Insta Message

My Learning Driver

My Learning Driver is People That Help Me With My Learning. This Driver helps me with my learning. When I need help I ask someone older than me or more intelligent than me. That way they might have learn't that thing when they were a year 7. Normally I would ask someone my age but since I'm in a class with older people I can them instead. This Driver makes me a better person and when I need help I get help. Sometimes I try find the answer myself but sometimes it can be hard.

Waitangi Day

The Treaty for Waitangi Day was signed on the 6th of February, 1840 (a long time ago). It's about giving the Maori and the British piece and being together. Ever since 1840 Waitangi Day has been a public holiday for most people. 500 warriors signed the Treaty and most of the Maori's and British people. Waitangi Day represents New Zealand and the Maori's and other country's that came to sign it. The Treaty was signed in the Bay Of Islands.
