William Pike

Last week Te Ngahere read about William Pike. We then used this information to figure out how he relates to the story ‘Rep’. Our Walt: To learn about William Pike and how it relates to ‘The Rep’. William Pike was related to ‘The Rep’ because the boy in ‘Rep’ Ricky was inspired by his poster. William Pike is an inspirational speaker and teaches in schools. He always thinks on the positive side even though he lost his leg in a volcanic eruption.

Quote Or Saying Narrative

A few weeks ago Te Ngahere were finding out the meanings of quotes and sayings around relationships. For example, sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. We had to choose one of the quotes or sayings and write a narrative about the quote or saying. My quote was that it is better to walk with a friend in the dark than to walk alone in the light. I haven’t finished my story yet, but I will be posting it soon. Our walt was to structure a narrative. I am having fun writing my narrative, with my quote. Here is the link to my writing: Narrative
