Aloha Jacinda Ardern

My name is Nevaeh Lawton and I am a year seven at Otaki College.

Firstly, I just wanted to tell you what a great leader you have been over the covid-19 period. You have had to make so many tough decisions throughout this time. You have been so positive, confident and that is something I admire. Thank you for being open to all questions and you have kept us all safe.

Next, I would just like to recognise all the time and effort you have put in. Some of the time, you had to be very tough but, you were brave through it all.

Lastly, I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for us. If it wasn't for you, who knows where we would be now. Thank you for thinking of others with what you have done with the sign language when you do your announcements. Over the past 7 weeks, you have been very responsible for the choices you have made. I respect the fact that you have always been one step ahead.

Again, thank you so much.

Nevaeh

Blog Challenge (food trucks)

This weeks blog challenge is to design a food truck. Now I know I was only supposed to so one but I  did two any way because first of all I love macrons and donuts and because I didn't know which one I liked best. 

Harry Potter poem

Hey Guys, so anyone who was in my class last year would remember this poem. I just thought of posting it again since i loved it so much! ENJOY


Hogwarts, Harry Potter


Invisible to the Muggle eye
Moaning Murtle begins to cry
Harry potter with his lightning scar
Fred and Georges experiments are bazaar
Ron Weasley Harry's best friend 
In it together until the end
Hermoine Granger so very smart
Neville learning to fight a bogart
Ginny Weasley with hair so red
Dumbledore who is now sadly dead
Professor Snape with his short black hair
Hagrid with a dog as big as a bear
Voldemort who shall not be named
Of his father he was ashamed
Dobby the free house elf 
Malfoy is selfish to everyone else 
Hedwig so lushes and white
Doxy pixies venom bites
Cho chang was harry's girlfriend
Professor Lupin didn’t make it to the end
Professor Mc gonagall who turns into a cat
Peter Pedigrew who turns into a rat
Gryffindor slytherin hufflepuff ravenclaw
The basilisk has a frightening jaw
Dumbledores pheonix with magical feathers
Gryffindor quidditch have red maroon sweaters 
Hufflepuff is yellow raven claw is blue 
Sirius black road on buck beak with a birds eye view
Gryffindor is red and slytherin is green
On harry’s last year he turns seventeen 
In the deathly hallows trouble lies ahead 
Will Harry survive, is this the end?

Task F Copy out your favourite sentence from this book. Why do you like this sentence? Give detailed reason for this.
We had a lot of laughs. One time, a soldier brought in a German prisoner and some of the Pioneers did a haka. They rolled their eyes, stuck out their tongues ... the full works. We almost felt sorry for poor Fritz.
I like this scentence because it sounds like a true NZ scentence and their is some humor in it and humor always gets me. I like the sound of the haka with the eye rolling.

Task G Make up three questions you could ask someone about this book to test whether they have read it carefully.

• What simile was used when saying something about putting a tarp on ___________
• What were the last two scentences of the story
• How many men got killed or injured
