Carter Thompson@ Paparore School

 

I am a Year 3 student at Paparore School School in Northland, New Zealand. Mrs Davan is my teacher. My blog is a collection of my work at various stages, across different curriculum areas. Throughout my time at Paparore School I may share draft copies of my work for feedback and feed forward. Other times I will share my final published pieces. I would appreciate any feedback through leaving me a positive, thoughtful, helpful comment. Thank you.

 On the weekend i am go to have a playdate with Isla at my house. We are go to have fun. We are going to play with my toys. It is not my 99th playdate it is my 100th playdate.

National Anthem

National Anthem 

E Ihoa Atua o nga iwi matou ra

Ata whakarongona

Me aroha noa

Kia hua ko te pai

Kia tau to atawhai

Manaakitia mai

Aotearoa

God of Nations at thy feet

In the bonds of love we meet

Hear our voices we entreat

God defend our free land.

Guard Pacific’s triple star

From the shafts of strife and war

Make her praises heard afar

God defend New Zealand.

Bang!

 Bang!

I get up, I get down and I'm jumping around 

And the rumpus and ruckus are comfortable now

Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinking it's time to grow. Bang! Bang! Bang!

So I got an apartment across from the park

Put quinoa in my fridge, still I'm not feeling grown

Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinking it's time to go

Bang! Bang! Bang!

(Here we go)

So put your best face on everybody

Pretend you know this song

Everybody come hang 

Let's go out with a bang!  Bang! Bang! Bang!

I'm way too young to lie here forever

I'm way too old to try so whatever come hang (come hang)

Let's go out with a bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Feel like I'm gonna puke 'cause my taxes are due

Do my password begin with a one or a two?

Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinking it's time to grow. Bang! Bang! Bang!

(Metronome)

Man, I'm up to something 

Ooh de la de do, thank you all for coming 

I hope you like the show

'Cause it's on a budget 

So ooh de la de do

Yeah, come on, here we go

Yeah, come on

Repeat Chorus 

Been a hell of a ride but I'm thinking it's time to go. Bang! Bang! Bang!

So put your best face on everybody

Pretend you know this song

Everybody come hang

Let's go out with a bang

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Repeat Chorus

Bang! Bang!

Cover Me In Sunshine

Cover Me In Sunshine 

I've been dreaming of friendly faces, 

I-I've got so much time to kill

Just imagine people laughing, 

I-I know someday we will

And even if it's far away, 

Get me through another day.

Cover me in sunshine

Shower me with good times

Tell me that the world's been spinning since the beginning

And everything will be alright

Cover me in sunshine

From a distance all these mountains, 

A-are just some tiny hills

Wildflowers, they keep living, 

Whi-ile they're just standing still

I've been missing yesterday, 

But what if there's a better place?

Repeat Chorus 3x

CT Ngati Kuri

 Ngati Kuri

Ngati Kuri, Te Aupouri

Kia Kotahi mai tatou katoa

Te Rarawa, Ngai Takoto,

Ngati Kahu kia kaha mai ra

Awhinatia mai e tatou

Nga uri o Muriwhenua

Kia whiwhi ai nga taonga nei o nga tupuna

The five tribes of the Far North come together as one (Ngatikuri, Te Aupouri, Te Rarawa, Ngaitakoto, Ngatikahu). 

Help us in the Far North (Muriwhenua) to hold on to the treasures of our ancestors.
