Koro Description

Introducing Koro,

He is a nice wise man who has lived a joyful life.  He even has a nice decorated shed with a great van. He’s like a grandfather and a father to us. He looks like a young man who is currently at the age of twenty one years of age.

I can remember when he always used to say to me “Pick up the rubbish!” I listened to him because it felt like my dad talking to me. I love him so much. Every time I say “Hello” he smiles as if he were my real Koro.

He likes our Kapa Haka singing and will always visit the seniors in the hall while we have Kapa Haka practice. It was at the time when I was singing “Tui-tui-tui-tua---.”

He has done a lot for the school. He mows the lawn for us and does the breakfast club incase the Ngapera family isn’t at school in the morning. He looks after young students and teachers (teacher aides too).

Sometimes he doesn’t like the rubbish some people throw onto the ground. Koro also doesn’t like people talking but to him (those are only the bad kids).

He’s special to us because, we love the Maori culture and because we are a Maori school. He has done so much for and we can’t ask for any more as he has done everything perfectly.

Love from Richmond and Loni

Observation Report

I am investigating about leaf functions and will study about which plant dies first with my science group.

On the 10th of August, I gathered a large cup, soil and a tiny plastic bag and also a lamp. The teacher and I carefully poured the soil into my cup and planted the seed inside, so I WOULDN’T let anything fall on the carpet. It felt amazing. I then poured water in the cup.
I then carefully plugged the wire into the power point. Wiremu and I wrapped a piece of plastic onto a leaf. My science investigation group then observed.

The first day of observing the plant I noticed that it had not had any change so I waited the next day for any changes.
I then waited and looked at the plant and saw a leaf with no plastic bag on and it was wilting. One day later one of the plants died because it had been getting burnt. I think the plant with a bag on it had been blocked from the lamp’s light.

I have learnt that it is better to put a plastic bag on your plants because it won’t get burnt but will still have some sunlight

It is maybe NOT a good idea to use a lamp to grow your plants.I have learnt that it is better to put a plastic cover on your plants because it helps to keep them moist and warm. Maybe that is what a greenhouse is for.

Future Questions

I think the leaf in the plastic bag is better because it is always away from the burning of the lamp.

The leaf with no plastic bag is NOT getting better because it has the wrong kind of light and it has been being burnt over the past few days.

I also noticed that the leafs on my plant is starting to wilt but some are already wilted.

Here are some Images of my science groups plants.
