My good letter to Santa

 Dear Santa, 


I have been EXTREMELY good this year at home and school. I have been doing my homework at home, especially Maths work. At school I think I have been doing well in my studies. 


I’ve been kind to my parents and when they give me a command I follow and that’s what makes them happy. Also so that their parenting is not so hard.


This year for Christmas what I want is something different. It's not an item but what I want is to have a great Christmas! Santa when you do your presents deliveries and leave presents for my family, I will leave sanitizer out for you. Or you can put the presents inside the mailbox!


Have a great Christmas!

Yours Sincerely,

Jia

Answers: In Mexico, Christmas is celebrated from December 12th to January 6th. On December 16th children often perform “Posada” Posada is a spanish Lodging. There are nice Posadas. These are celebrated some parts of the Christmas story where Joseph and Mary looked somewhere to stay.

What are the known foods in Mexico?

This is a traditional special cake called 'Rosca de Reyes' (Three Kings Cake) on Epiphany. A figure of Baby Jesus is hidden inside the cake. Whoever has the baby Jesus in their piece of cake is the 'Godparent' of Jesus for that year.




How do they do gift givings?

Gift giving is not usually a requirement in Mexican culture. If you do want to give a gift, be aware that asking about what the person would like to receive as presents can be offensive.

If you are invited to a home, there is no obligation to bring a gift.

My letter to santa

 Dear Santa,


I have been EXTREMELY BAD. I have been talking too much at school, talking back, being unkind, not focusing on my work distracting others, starting a scene, being a troublemaker and sneaking out. 


Oh Santa please come to my house I know I didn’t mean it, give me a second chance! I promise to make things right by… being kind, focused on schoolwork, distracting others, not starting a scene, not being a troublemaker and doing my homework!


In 2021 I will try to have high grades and be a good senior when I become a year 5. Santa I just realized that I have been honest making this letter! Isn’t that a good sign santa?


Santa for christmas I want a pen! To write, to draw art like the professionals! I would also like billions of paper to display all over the world!!


Love by Jia.

Lost in the forest

 Name of the movie: Lost in the Forest

Set: Forest and house.

Story By: Jia, Helina and Sierra


Once upon a time there were two girls called Jenni and Angela, a mother called Maria, a grandma called Grandma Sadie, and a dog called Rudolf. They were having a picnic on a wonderful sunny and windy day. 


“Do we have to go out walking today?” said Angela. “ Yes, it’s good exercise for you, plus it’s sunny outside.” growled Mum. “It will be fun”, said Jenni. The family packed their things and went into the car and headed to the forest.


They walked to a little muddy path. “ Haaa what a lovely breeze” said Grandma Sadie. “Oh! Let’s place the mat here! “ said Jenni. The family placed the mat and food at the side of the path where there is grass. “ Goo goo gaga “ said baby Annie. They talked and laughed. After a while they decided to put their picnic basket away and when they realized… “ Oh no… I forgot the way back to the car,” said Mum. “ Oh no!! WE’RE LOST!” cried Jenni. Angela pointed at their footsteps. “ Look! Footsteps maybe it’s Rudolf’s footsteps!”. The whole family was surprised. “Do you think that’s a good idea? Maybe it will lead us to a different and dangerous place” said Grandma Sadie. “Yes, I think it will be safe, Let’s see where it leads to” Mum replied,''okay“ said Grandma Sadie. They followed their footsteps and…


“Look! The car!!” said Jenni. “Goo gaga!” said Annie happily. “Yay!! We're going back home!” said Angela. The family was glad they found their way back and went home happily!


THE END! :D

Retelling Cinderella

 Once upon a time there was a very happy couple that had a Daughter named Ella who lived in a big manor. One day her mother got sick, Ella and her father worried she couldn’t recover and the mother passed away a few days later.


Her Dad remarried another woman. The woman was cruel and selfish. The woman had two daughters called Anastasia and Drizella. Anastasia and Drizella secretly picked their noses.


Ella's stepsisters made her their maid and mocked her and called her Cinderella. Cinderella was cleaning until an invitation came from the royal palace. So her sister’s called her to make them beautiful. After Cinderella finished making the stepsisters pretty Cinderella had the courage to ask her step mother to go to the ball. She said “Mother can I go to the ball too?”. 

Her stepmother’s eye sparked and looked at her and said “only if you clean the kitchen and the bedroom”. 

Cinderella cried “How am I going to clean all this mess?”. Later the pigeons and the birds came and helped clean up the mess. Then she said “Can I go to the ball now?” her Step mother looked at her clothes “you look filthy and dirty in that dress. The prince will not have dirt in his ball room”. Cinderella’s stepsister and stepmother left the house for the ball. 


Cinderella ran outside the garden and cried. Later there was a sound coming from the bushes. Then a fairy appeared. “Why are you crying sweet little girl?” The fairy said. Cinderella said “Wh- who are you?” “I am your fairy Godmother. So what happened dear?” Said the Fairy Godmother “My stepmother did not allow me to go to the ball because I have no clothes to wear to the ball….” Replied Cinderella. The Fairy Godmother waved her wand and turned Cinderella to a beautiful princess, she turned the pumpkin to a golden carriage and turned the mice to a horses. Then turned the bird to a Couchman. Cinderella thanked the Godmother. After the magic the Fairy Godmother warned her “ Remember the last stroke of midnight all my spells will be gone.” Cinderella nodded and went to the ball. 


Later Cinderella arrived at the ball, she went inside and the people were very shocked. The prince couldn't take his eyes off her. Then they danced and Cinderella was having fun. Then the last midnight strock was struck. Cinderella ran and said “I have to go!” The prince ran after her and said “ Cinderella don’t leave!” but Cinderella was too fast and  her glass slipper fell off on the steps outside. The prince ran inside and announced “Whoever fits this glass slipper will be my bride” the people tried it on but not one person fit it. Finally the prince arrived at Cinderella’s house. The prince entered the house and the stepsister and stepmother tried it on but it did not fit. Then the prince asked “ Is there anyone else inside your house?” “We have a maid in our kitchen.” the prince went to the kitchen. Cinderella tried the slipper and it fit! Then the prince and Cinderella married.

Tivaevae Patterns Description

This is my Tivaevae Mat. 

I used two different coloured papers, scissors and glue and I used a pencil to draw my designs.

I am pleased with my Tivaevae Mat because it shows off the Pasifika patterns and it shows rotation.

I found this task a little hard because it’s really hard to cut out the patterns.

I made my Tivaevae mat by making a square using A4 paper, drawing the patterns and cutting the design out and gluing the coloured paper as a background.

Water Care Recount

Hook
“ WHOA ” I can’t believe that in class we talked about wastewater and stormwater. I always wanted to know about how to care for water! It was so satisfying. 


In class there was a lady called Sarah that came to our classroom. She was from Watercare and I was so thrilled to learn about how water is treated. First she introduced herself. She was a worker whose job was to educate children about water care. She cast her own presentation to us. 



Then Miss Paton asked us all, “Why is water important? “ Then all of my friends put their hands up and they had some really good answers. I answered too. Some of my friends said that “Water is important because if we didn’t have water we wouldn’t survive”.


After all the answers we moved on. After a while Sarah talked about the olden days. In the olden days, when people went to the bathroom, they had a chamber pot underneath their bed and they put a cloth above the chamberpot. Then I laughed SO hard that my tummy became sore. Sarah said that there were chambermaids that cleaned the pots. The way that the maid’s cleaned the pots was throwing the pees and poops in the nearby river.


After that we went outside to do an experiment. I was so excited. Sarah said “In this experiment you have to make a hill, mountain or a volcano from these lightweight powdery rocks”. 
After this we covered our mountains with a see through cover. We poured water over the cover and you had to guess how many streams you could see.


Conclusion
It was so much fun! I learnt lots of new information. I would hate to be a chambermaid back in the olden days, throwing pees and poops in rivers. I am glad that I am living in the present. I am glad that I am in a country that has safe drinking water. I hope that the water treatment plant continues to operate and that people can save twenty litres of water a day.

Heart Map writing

Hook


I love Celebrities and I am interested in knowing them. Especially the ones that I like.
All Celebrities have something in common.


My favourite celebrity is Billie Eilish because I like Billie Eilish style and the logo! And I like the accessories that Billie Eilish wear’s. I remember the other day that I watched a video of Billie Eilish and I saw that Billie Eilish loves kids! She even makes me laugh at the video that people say Billie Eilish looks like a llama. Another reason is i love Billie Eilish songs especially the song Billie Eilish - Ocean Eyes (Official Music Video) and the song Billie Eilish - lovely (Lyrics) ft. Khalid

Dam writing

A dam blocks the flow of water in rivers and it must pass over through the barrier.


Dams are built across the streams and rivers to retain the water. Dams asist generating
Hydroelectric power and they can support navigation. Flood control, power supplies and
dams are built to water crops.


The primary purpose of dams is to retain water. Prevent flooding, maintain power and
assist with irrigation.


Water care operates fourteen supply reservoirs. Five of the reservoirs are located in the
Waitakere ranges. Two reservoirs are located in helensville and one reservoir is located
in papakura.


The dams supply 80% of Auckland's water dams are located high. After world war 2
dams were made of earth and rocks.

The Waitakere ranges are 5 dams, 3 concrete and two earth. The waitakere dam supplies
20% of Auckland’s water.

Persuasive writing about George Bollinger

George improved so much and it was very brave and loyal of him to go back to war after
all the things that happened to him and his family during World War 1


People said mean things and racist comments to them and I know George was affected by
the people. The Bollinger’s home was always being thrown by rocks. Eventually, George
and his family moved to Wellington because of the terrible thing that was going on. 

George was always faithful and courageous to fight for World War 1.

Expressing my opinion's

Dear Editor,


I would like to express my feelings about George Bollinger. George has
been a good and great friend to everyone that has known him. I really
think he is a hard working person and an amazing person. I felt very bad
that George and his family were not treated very well. It makes me sad
with the terrible racist comments and the treatment George and his family
have experienced. I am proud that George and his family were strong
during World War 1 and another reason is because George has a chance to
represent New Zealand during the war. Congratulations George.


Yours faithfully,

Jia
