Here are the first ideas from some groups below. What other differences can you think of?

DIGI AWARDS
Congratulations to our finalists and place-getters in the Digi awards which were held last night at the Hawkes Bay Opera House.
Hine was highly commended for her graphic design.
Alex, Michelle and Hine were awarded third place for the short film they made called "Rangi and Papatuanuku."
The audience was able to see the work on an enormous screen on the stage. It was a night full of Porritt Pride. Well done guys!
Unfortunately the whole movie file of Rangi and Papa is too big to upload to the blog, but we will think of a way! In the meantime, here are some shots from the film:

Brayden's Big Two Weeks
Tomorrow I'm going to America with Koru-Care.
Canteen people have raised heaps of money to help child cancer kids.
A long time ago in July I got mail from Koru-Care. It said I have been accepted to go with them to Disney land. I was really excited.
One kid from Camp Quality that I know will be going to America with me.
I will stay in a fancy hotel, and when I have breakfast it will a big buffet.
I don't have to pay for anything. The companions will buy our lunch, and we are allowed to take $250 spending money to spend on what you want.
We will also go to Police Academy and Knoxbury farm while we are there. There are heaps of other surprises to be revealed.

Pukemokimoki Marae visit by Cairo.
Last Wednesday room 13 and room12 went for a visit to the Marae.
We saw all sorts of things. When we arrived we hopped in rows, elders in the front, girls behind them and the boys out the back of the girls and last of all the men.
Whaea Piri told us that the nanny of the marae was going to call us on the marae. Whaea Piri said the Karanga.
We slowly walked on the Marae. As we walked on to the Marae we all saw some awesome carvings at the front of the marae.
When we got to the front of the Marae we took off our shoes and walked into the wharenui. The wharenui is called Omio, which means "vibrations", because of the earthquake.
As we walked in everyone gasped. Everyone was amazed by the wonderful art work. It felt like it was a really special place.
When we went in we sat down on left side of the tangatawhenua who are the boss of the Marae.
Before we started talking the kaumatua said a karakia.
When we finished the Karakia we all sat down and the kaumatua did a whaikorero.
After that Mr Hemi did a whaikorero as well. After Mr Hemi spoke to us we stood up and sang a waiata.
We sat down and Ben gave the Tangatawhenua a kaka beak plant.
After that we were allowed to look around. We saw korus, tukutuku panels, carvings of the ancestors. They all looked magnificent and very professional.
After we finished looking around we went to the dining room to have some morning tea. We had crackers, biscuits and mandarins.
