Jaxs fish ‘n’ Chips

Purpose:  Thank you note

Dear Jax

Thank you for coming to Rangikura School to share your opera show with us.

My most favorite part was when Nemo and Salesman did the handshake and smacked his but.  I really liked it when the Salesman was doing funny/funky moves, I would like to see some more funny/funky moves like that and I liked how he lied to Nemo with the elixir of love and gave him  L and P

I would really like you to do another show like that or come up with another handshake.

The singers were awesome at singing opera it sounded amazing and I would like to hear more opera.

Your sincerely

Havana.

Rangikura school.

My Duffy Books

These are my Duffy books that I received today.  The book on the left is The Pet War written by Allan Woodrow.  The book on the right is called Gizmo written by Ellen Miles.  I got 2 books because in term 1 you order 4 books and get 2 you only get to because when you order 4 books, if one of them has ran out you get the other book you ordered.  Most schools don’t get Duffy books because their parents pay for books but my school is one of the lucky schools because we dont pay for the books the school does.

Harakeke

Purpose: Inform (share our knowledge and facts)

Here is some inform about harakeke.  Harakeke is also known as flax.  Flax is often found in a garden.  Before you do anything to the harakeke you must say a karakia, you must say a karakia because it's respectful.  Also, you must not cut harakeke when it's raining you can only cut it on a sunny day once it's finish flowering and don’t cut the middle ones or the ones surrounding the middle ones, because the middle ones are the baby flax and the ones surrounding it are the parents and if you cut the babies or parents the plant will die.

Some facts about harkaka

Sometimes you might find some snails or slugs on the harakeke.

Flax was the most fibre to the maori in nz.

Flax bushes will often support a large community of animals, providing shelter and an abundant food resource.
