Toku Mahi Nga Jayden


Hi my name is Jayden.
I have one sister.  I live with my Mum and Dad. I have one dog named Xena.
My Grandad on my mum's side owns an orchard.
I often work on my Grandad's orchard. 
I am going to Nelson College for Boys when I finish primary school.


My Strengths


I am good at Art because I am careful and I like drawing and using different colours.
I can use this strength in the future because when I have finished work for the day as an orchardist I will need a hobby and that could be art.
Playing rugby is definitely my strength because I am an excellent prop and lock.
I have been playing for seven years in an actual team.
When I come into a tackle it toughens me up which will help me deal with heavier tackles in the future.
I have a strength in forklift driving. You are allowed to get your license at 12 years old.
I'm very accurate at stacking bins on our farm. I know the controls of by heart.
This skill could help me in the future if I want to become a commercial forklift driver.

Toku Mahi Nga Jenna

Hi I'm Jenna. I'm 11 years old.

Here's a bit about myself:

I love sports. I do competitive swimming, netball and tap dancing.

My favourite food is Thai. YUM YUM!!!

I have two pet dogs, a cat and a chicken called Ester.

My goal this year is to have a positive attitude towards maths.

My Strengths

One of my my strengths is swimming. It came to be my strength by starting swimming early.When I was four months and then I carried on ever since.  I started at home in our own pool. Then I went to the Aquatic Centre for lessons. There you learnt all the basics, like floating and kicking.

I started with the development squad at the Motueka High School pool.  We would do about twenty five lengths every sesson.  I did two forty five minute sessons every week. I did that for two years.

I then started in competitive squad. It was winter then, so I swam at the Aquatic Centre. I did that early in the morning,  before school.   We swam about 2.5km every session. We swam for an hour and a quarter, twice a week.

Then Summer came. I started my first summer with the competitive squad. I swam four nights a week. For an hour and a half. Swimming about 4km every night.

Now it's almost time to start winter training again.

Swimming is a great strength to have so you can have fun and be safe around water.

My favourite food is PIE!!!
I play rugby and do judo.

My goal for this year is to spell bigger words.


My Strengths

One of my strengths is Science.
How this became to be one of my strengths was when I was young  I liked doing experiments with ice,grass,flowers and dye.   
It can help me now with tests and topic. It can help me to get a good job in the future.

My other strength is rugby. I got this strength from training since I was five.
How it can help me now is to win lots of trophies. 
It can help me when I'm old (32 to 38) for fitness, and I can teach young kids.

My next strength is judo. I got this strength by practicing every week at the dojo.
Judo helps me with my strength for rugby.               
It can help me in the future. If I get attacked on the street I can defend myself.

Another strength is climbing. I like high heights, so the best way to experience high heights is to climb.
It can help me to be able to climb up a climbing wall.
Climbing can help me in the future when I go tramping.

My last strength is maths. I got this strength by learning from myself.
It can help me with tests and telling the time.
In the future it can help me with my budget and when I travel by using a map.


And that's all of my strengths.

Toku Mahi Nga Fynn A

My name is Fynn.
I am 11 and I live in Marahau.

My hobbies are fishing, hunting, climbing, rugby, making huts, running and swimming.
I have a cat called Oskar.
I own my own boat but I cannot take it out by myself.
I live quite close to a pool that I can use whenever I want to.
My favourite food is bacon and egg pie




My strengths are swimming, running, bike riding, making huts and climbing.

These are some of my strengths. [Hut making] I spend half of my time in the bush making bases.

[Running] I do this quite often because I help shift the cows into a different paddock, and the cows run that way and I have to run another way to intersect them.

My strengths will help me in the future because if I want to become a architect. All those years of building huts will have paid off.

And if I want to become a Olympic runner,chasing cows would have build up my muscles for the Olympics.

Toku Mahi nga Josh

My name is Josh,


My favourite food is cheese and I am turning 12 ( I'm 11).
I have two dogs. I had two birds and a cat.
Ib can speak some french.
Last year I went with my family to Europe.
We went to England, Ireland, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg and France.

My goal is to stay focused on all my learning.



My strengths

My strengths are building, singing, maths, languages and computers/I.T.  I gained most of my strengths when I was younger.

Building
One of my strengths is building.  I used to help my Dad build things when I was younger and I usually wanted to make things out of wood.This strength can help me in the future with DIY.

Singing
When I was four I sang with my brother and I knew all the lyrics to a song. Most singers get alot of money like Michael Jackson who built a theme park and Miley Cyrus who rented out Disney Land so this would be very helpful in the future.

Languages
I can speak some French (francais) and can count to eight in Spanish. Last year my mum, my sister and I went to Europe. My mum has been teaching us French but Yasmin always forgets it. This will help me travel and I could be a translator.

Computers/I.T.
When I was six I got my first computer. Computers are very useful and people are using computers instead of books so if I got a job in I.T. then my strength would be very useful.
