Life Education.

Did you know that class 3 has been going to the life Education and it has been really cool because we learn about everything about Alcohol. Lynn the person that tells us all about Alcohol is that we should chose really carefully about what we are going to do in our life and also drinking drugs and Alcohol when we are young is really bad. The favorite thing I liked about going to the Life Education was that we got to see Harold and also he sang for us which was really cool.

For what reason had put a spell on the forest? So he can burn the forest so Rahi can’t see and so other people that knows Rahi and Tiara can’t go to recuse Tiara so the big bird burnt  the forest so he can’t see anything. - what is this a common case of? The common case of is that Rahi is trying to save his wife from the big Manu Tangata blew Tiara somewhere that they don’t know where she is.

Why had the god of wind sent a breeze that lifted Rahi? So Rahi can find his wife and so the wind can lift Rahi up to the sky so Rahi can easily find his wife because the huge wind took Tiara somewhere so Rahi can’t find him so thats why someone lifted the big breeze up in the sky so Rahi can find his wife.

Who helped Rahi he he was dehydrated and exhausted? For what reason do you think this character helped Rahi? Is because they know each other and the other person wants to help rahi because they are friends and they care for each other and also they help each other together.

Who trapped Rahi, how did Rahi escape? The person that trapped Rahi was the mean big Lizard trapped him because he hates Rahi. Rahi escape because he used his big wings and flapped them so he can try to get out and he did.

Is this story realistic?  Why/ why not? No because in the picture of the book is that someone was drawing the picture and they may be made up the story and thought its real but I think its not realistic.

Select a character from the text, you need to include the following information about this character: their name, description, age, likes, dislikes, personality and why you selected this character. Rahi is the name of my character that I chose in this book and he is 32 years old the reason I like him as a character is because he is strong and he helps other people when they are stuck and the reason I have selected this character is because he is the main person in the book so thats why I have chosen him.

You need to then draw a portrait of this character.

Retell the main events in the text: Is that Rahi is a big massive bird thats is strong and the a big lizard comes and trappe him because he is the best and strong and after when the lizard went Rahi tryed and tryed to get him out and he did because he used his big two wings and tried to get out and he did.

Where had Rahi and his people found Tiara? After Rahi got out of the gate Rahi found his way back home and gathered his tribe to help him search for Tiara. At last they found the volcano where Ti Ara was hidden inside the volcano.

What had they done once they had found her? Is that they blocked the volcano so know one doesn’t go and hide there anymore because someone might go and get trapped in there again like Tiara. For what reason do you think they did this? The reason they did this is because maybe they didn’t want Rahi to marry Tiara and because they maybe wants to kill Tiara because thats what I think.

What does Ki represent in Ki-O-Rahi? It represents something in Maori like something about Rahi it might also represent in Maori.

What does Rahi represent in Ki-O-Rahi? Rahi represents something in Maori and its a name thats in a story. Rahi is also an important name that most Maori’s use like in the story.

Commonwealth Games.

The Commonwealth Games often referred as the friendly Games, are a sporting every held every four years. Also the Games were held in Hamilton in 1930 and also eleven countries sent 400 athletes to take part in the six and 59 events at the commonwealth Games, now this year the commonwealth Games is held in Glasgow in Scotland.

From the first host city of Hamilton in Canada, the Games have been held in many of the major commonwealth countries. Since then, the Games have been conducted every four years except for 1942 and 1946 due to the World War 2, the commonwealth was created by Arthur Mcsdalropington in 1928 As you know Games a known as the British Empire games.

The reason games are not held in the same place every four years is because every country wants to host the Commonwealth Games in there country. If they want the Commonwealth Game to be hosted in there country they have to bid so the commonwealth game can be hosted in there country.

The country that has the most Gold medals is England they have 58 Gold medals. New Zealand

only have won 14 Gold medals 14 slivers and 17 bronze medals and in total they have won 45 medals altogether. At the commonwealth games only 53 members take part of the commonwealth games because only the commonwealth countries take part at the commonwealth games.
