I have dreams 

by Antonia Lee, Sara Fung, Christy Fung, Rachel Lam

I have no dreams in my life

And I do not concede that

I have talents

I am not a person who contributes

And I refuse to believe that

I will be useful

I tell you this:

In the future

I will not be famous

No longer can it be said that

my friends and parents will support me

It will be evident that

I am apathetic

It is foolish to presume that

I have dreams

Life is like a battlefield

Without dreams

Being a lawyer, will not be my aim

Being an accountant, will not be my goal

Being a doctor, will not be my dream

I would never say that

There is hope in my life

The Climb - Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it

That dream I'm dreaming but

There's a voice inside my head saying

You'll never reach it,

Every step I'm taking,

Every move I make feels

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking but I

Gotta keep trying

Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing

The chances I'm taking

Sometimes might knock me down but

No I'm not breaking

I may not know it

But these are the moments that

I'm going to remember most yeah

Just got to keep going

And I

I gotta be strong

Just keep pushing on, 'cause

There's always gonna be another…

Tatai arorangi

What is Tatai Arorangi? - Astronomy, knowledge of celestial bodies.

Dr Pauline Harris

Astronomical knowledge is really important for us and to a lot of our people, because when you talk about astronomical knowledge, that actually infused its way through much of Māori life and traditions – the fact that, when we look at how the universe was formed within our genealogies or our whakapapa, we actually whakapapa back to these stars. So, we fundamentally, within traditional belief, believe that we came from or are related to the stars.

What is Pauline Harris saying here? - I think that Pauline Harris is saying that Astronomical knowledge is important to Maori people because in their beliefs they say that we may be related or come from stars. 

What are the main words in Pauline Harris’ discussion here? 

Traditional belief

Astronomical knowledge

Stars

Genealogies

Whakapapa

Fundamentally

What is astronomical knowledge? - I think that Astronomical knowledge is the study of stars and planets.

Kiwikidsnews - Massive fart in public

Today I read an article in Kiwikidsnews about a man in Vienna Australia who got fined for doing a massive fart in public. The man was fined $500 euros for loudly breaking wind. The police said that he got a large fine because he deliberately lifted his backside from the bench he was sitting on and faced it in their direction. The police also said that he could challenge the fine in the legal system.

Tech - Earthworms

Last week on Friday we had a science class at Tamaki College. Our class was about Earthworms. We started off by watching a video. During the video I learnt that there were about 27 different Earthworm species in the UnitedKingdom and that they could grow up to 30cm long. We also learnt that Hermaphrodite is when an Earthworm has a Male and Female organs in one body, another word I learnt was Clitellum and it is a body part of an Earthworm. The role of a Clitellum is like a womb it carries around egg’s. After we finished that we observed real Earthworms. We numbered each worm, observed what their behaviour was like and estimated how long they were. Worm 1 was very chill and was about 7cm long, Worm 2 was also very chill and was at least 9cm long and the last worm I observed was Worm 3 and it was exactly the same as the rest, very chill and was about 5cm long.
