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.

Cloud in a jar

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.
