Verse 1	The main idea in verse 1 is our lives and to be wise.	“Sometimes in our lives”	“But if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow”	I agree because what I think of this verse is that in our lives we struggle and go through hard and tough times but if we think positively we will know that we have tomorrow to look forward to. We may not have everything we want, but we have what we need.
Chorus	The main idea in the chorus is that it’s ok to ask for help.	“You just call on me brother, when you need a helpin hand”	“We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'd understand We all need somebody to lean on”	I agree with the lyrics of the song because it should be ok to ask for help, or help those in need.
Verse 2	The main idea in verse 2 is Share.	“Swallow your pride If I have things You need to borrow”.	For no one can fill those of your need That you won’t let show	I agree because I think it is about your pride and for people who are in needs.
Verse 3	The main idea in verse 3 is Caring.	“Call me (when you need a friend)”	“We all need somebody to lean on I just might have a problem that you'd understand We all need somebody to lean on”	I agree because I think this is about friendship like when we need somebody and to understand if they have problems.

Kamaka-Egg shell by Michele

Eggshell by Michele Powles

Looking at the first image, where do you think the story is set?I think the story is set in a classroom of students with a Maori teacher named Mr Clark and a new girl named Tania that just came to the school and her Mum told her not to worry. Why do you think this?This picture is with a girl who just came and she is really nervous and her teacher wants her to be happy.

Looking at the title what do you think the story is about?I think that the eggshells are for the kites to catch and for other things.

What does “Morena, tamariki ma” mean?I think good morning,Kids.

Why was this person nervous?It was her first day at school and she was shy around others. Would you person be nervous if you were also in the same situation?Maybe because it depends if your friends are good to you or no one would like you.

Why couldn’t the character do their work?I think she was about to cry and her whole body was tense with the effort of making sure she didn’t.

What were the flax kites used for in the olden days?Signals for help or messages from the gods or to even to lift people,although they were bigger than his one.

What did they use the “ki” for?I think for eggs to catch it because Ki’s can be for games and other things you can do.

What do they have to do with the egg and the ki?You have to put it in a Manu Kopua and once it releases it’s bombs away and they have to catch it.

What does the terms “bragging” mean? Have you ever bragged before? If so when/why?I think Braggings means talking with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities and I haven’t bragged before.

What had Mr Clark said the young girl had learnt today?I think he said she understood the game perfectly.

How did the group of students work as a team in the story?They were saying that Tania had a dumb idea but she had a good plan and they had to stick to their positions and to communicate and work as a team.

Why did the characters mum “jump on her as soon as she got home”?She was glad and she said school was ok.

Think about starting your first day at school, and the teacher is speaking another language, how would you feel? Would it make the situation much scarier?

I wouldn’t understand him or her and I would feel uncomfortable and the situation wouldn’t be scary and I would be kind of shy.

Finders keepers

Touch tournament

Today I was ref for the tournament and I wasn't the only one too.I was with simon,Fili,Kylie and Mei and some of us were in groups of 2 I was by myself and I learnt how to ref and I ref lots of teams,it was pretty cool being ref and being a ref is hard and I like participating in inter school sport and it was quite hard focusing on the teams.

The most hardest thing to ref is running and calling out for the team and also to focus on what you are doing.

I had a great time there reffing teams and meeting new friends.
