Kia ora my name is Maranga, I am a year eight and I go to Matawai School. My favourite thing to do at school is to play with my friends and play sports. I love dogs and riding motorbikes, I enjoy Mustering deer and cattle and working with animals. I have one brother and one sister; I live with my grandparents. We live on a station called Tuhaka and my Grandad is the manager.
I love maths and enjoy doing made up writing, I am good at my times tables, The best thing that I enjoy about maths is adding, taking away and times tables. My challenges are long divisions and fractions. My goals for this year is to learn and understand geometry.
I am looking forward to our senior bike ride, winter rugby and swimming sports. I really want to improve on my breast stroke and get in the rhythm of doing it right and perfect. This year we are doing the William Pike challenge and I really think he is going to inspire me to do things that I've never tried before, and 'Just do it' just like that Nike tee shirt says.
