Christmas day was on the horizon, Ali’s favorite time of year, all the presents, food and decorations and most importantly Santa.  How could you not love it?  His family prepared for the day, setting up the Christmas tree and the food, and Ali also put out some warm milk and cookies for santa.  He couldn’t wait any longer.

Being a little naive child, Ali makes the decision to stay awake to catch a glimpse of Father Christmas himself, as each hour passes he becomes more nervous each time thinking if Santa even really exists, he can hear the clock ticking. “TICK TOCK TICK TOCK”. 3am strikes, he begins to lose hope, then suddenly he hears a noise coming from the living room, he grabs the flashlight and creeps down the creaky steps but stays alert.  As he peeks around the corner quietly a figure speeds past him, faster than the speed of light, Ali was left in a state of confusion as to what had just occurred, thinking that it was just his imagination he continues to investigate as to what the noise was.

He made his way to the kitchen, but he notices the milk that he left out was no longer milk, it was blood, out of instinct he screams, screaming, “MUMMY!! MUMMY!!”, but with no response, Ali began to tremble, tears flowing down his cheeks, he felt alone having nowhere to go, then suddenly, a low gruff commanding voice whispers in his ear. “Don’t worry Ali, you’ll never feel alone again.”  Ali turned around to see his fathers face, he was holding a sack that was dripping with blood. “Dad, are you okay?” He asked, the man replied saying yes, at the same time his face fell off revealing a huge white beard hiding a cunning smile.

Tena ra koutou katoa.

In Maori, my class and I decided to watch: Nga whakataetae kapahaka kura tuarua o te motu 2024. We wanted it to be a kapa mai i Te Tai Tokerau, so we watched the most recent kapa haka performance, Te pu o te wheke mai I a Kaikohe.  There performacne was great, implementing many techniques and actions of their own, a really unique group.   Te pu o te wheke showed us why they deserve to win the competition, performing with ihi and wehi and really precise and stornch actions.  But what really impacted me was there haka, it was somehthing I had never seen before, there haka was based around being a “cowboy” which really caught my attention.  Overall their performance was astonishing and in my opinion the best so far.

For the past eight lessons my class and I have been tasked with learning about trigonometry and also pythagoras theorem.  People say that learning things like this are “useless” and “what does this have to do with the real world”.  Well I say some people have different dreams and aspirations and if the job that they’re aiming for is like building, or any science and mathematics related job, then this type of stuff is very important.

I have learned many things about these phythagoras and trigonometry, trigonometry is only needed when you are trying to find lengths and angles in right angled triangles, whereas phythagoras theorem is used when you are finding the hypotenuse, adjacent and opposite sides of a triangle.  A hypotenuse is always the longest side of a triangle, the adjacent side is next to the angle and the opposite side is opposite from the angle.

I think I did quite well for myself during these lessons, staying on task and listening to the comments and aid from my teachers, and also classmates.  I am happy I have learned something new and can’t wait for our next task.

This is a video that demonstrates how to convert units if measurement using units of ten. This particular slide show will demonstrate how to convert units within Length. We have been suing units such as mm, cm, m, km, ha. Length is often what builders use to complete buildings. I hope you enjoy it!

Fashion experts are convinced that Ron DeSantis, the American presidential candidate, has started wearing stacked heels to make himself look taller.

What makes these claims so intriguing is the DeSantis isn’t short.  In fact, at 5’11 he’s two inches taller than the average American.

No doubt women will find this rather odd.  Men, however, will understand because secretly we men are all insecure about our height, no matter what height we are. If we’re short, we get looked down on both literally and figuratively.  If we’re tall, we have to endure endless jokes about what the weather’s like up there. 

This article makes me realize that height is a very important factor in dating, but also life in general, being short is a negative, but at the same time being too tall isn’t wanted. The purpose of this article is to spread awareness about the feelings of men, but to also inform others that height should not be such a necessity.

Should any additional information be added to this article? Well personally I think it should include the direct feedback from “Short” and also the men that are classified as above average, this article should include their opinions.  It will add more realism to the article and also interest more people when they see real proof about this statement.  This is newsworthy because in this day and age height matters, and men every single day we are being pounded and looked down upon by fellow men, and women.

Kua whakaaro koe mena i ahae koe ki te haere mo tetahi haerenga ki tawahi mo te kroe tara, ka haere koe ki hea? Ahau ano kua whakaaro au e pa ana ki tenei kupapa, engari kahore kua hohonu nga whakaaro. Noreira, mo tenei wa ka korero ahau kei hea ka haere ahau, ka aha ahau ki tenei wahi, me nga tangata ka tari ahau. Tuatahi, me whakaaro matou he wahi hei haere, mo te nuinga o toku oranga kua hiahia au ki te torotoro haere ki te whenua o Peina(Spain) Ka whai au nui te aroha mo ta ratou ahurea, me nga tangata hoki. Tuarua, me whakaaro matou ka mahi matou i te aha, e hiahia ana au te wati he kiriata Flamenco, etahi atu mea e taea matou te mahi ki reira ko te toro haere ki te Whare Kingi O Madrid, kua rongo au he korero e pa ana ki tera wahi noreira me haere matou te kite. I te wa ki reira matou he tika me ako matou i nga tikanga o to ratou whenua, mai i te reo ka korero ratou, nga kai ka tunu ratou, tai noa ki o ratou hahi. Ko wenei nga mea ka mahi ahau ki reira, engari kahore ka pai te haerenga mema kahore au ka tari toku whanau katoa, me etahi o aku hoa hoki. Noreira, kia whakaoti au i aku korero, ka waiho au he rerenga korero kua ako ao ki roto i te reo Peina.

Nga hararei ki te taha o Roman. Aku hararei, i aha au? Mo te nuinga o aku hararei i te whakata ahua ki toku kainga, i moe ahau, i kai ahau, i kanikani, i takaro ahau, a, i wati kiriata hoki, ko te kiriata i wati ahau ko te: Home Alone. Ko te kaupapa o te kiriata e whakatu ana he tama kahore i te whakarongo ki tana mama, nareira i tarapu te mama i a ia i roto i ta ratou ruma o runga mo te po katoa, engari ko tenei te po i mua i ta ratou haeranga ki Parihi. I te ata i tae mai i wehe te toinga o te whanau ki te papa rererangi, engari kua wareware ratou i te tama. Ka ara te tama ki te whare kahore he tangata e taea te kite, i whakaro ia kua mate haere tona whanau kua tutuki, i harikoa ia, engari, tona ohoreretanga ka puta te kuaha i te wa ka tae mai rua nga kai tahae ki tona whare, noreira ka whakarite ia tana whare kia haere atu enei tangata. Ko tenei tetahi korero iti e pa ana ki te kiriata.

Ko tetahi mea marikarika i mahi ahau me toku whanau ko te haere ki Whangarei me te takaro i te tekau pini paoro. Tuatahi i kai matou ki Makitanara, amuri tera i wehe matou ki te tekau pini paoro ki te takaro. I te timatanga o te kemu i whiwhina ahau e rua nga panga ataahua rawa atu, i te tae mai tuatahi ahau, engari, te menemene i runga taku mata ka timata te ngaro na te mea i panga ahau e rua nga paoro i puta ki te taha nareira he kuaha i puare mo taku papa kia whai ia he aheitanga ki te wikitoria. I mutu te kemu i ruihi au mai te rua tekau, ki tenei ra tonu ka korero taku papa mo tenei wa i pa mai ki ahau.

Noreira……Ko enei nga hararei ki te taha o Roman, noreira tena koutou, tena koutou, tena ra koutou katoa.
