Netball.

2012-02-13T12:38:00.003+13:00

On the 9th of Febuary room 19 went to the court to play Netball. When we went there we saw dots and crosses on the ground, and a bag with Net Balls init. After that we went on the court to wait for our coach Liz, she is the lady that is teaching us how to play Netball . The first thing we did was to get on a dot or an x and stay there, while 1 boy was handing out the bibs the other was handing out the balls, the people that were standing on the x's they got the bibs and the people that were on the dots ( like me ) got a ball.

Then we were practicing chest pasting with the partner next to you, my partner was Tau. After that we were split into 4 groups one team was on 1 side of the court and the others were on the other side of the court. What we had to do first was that one team had the ball the other team had to jump over the ramp and then the team is going to pass you the ball and then you will land on one foot and then the other. Then we went on the other side of the court and had challenges, our goal was to hit the dots in the blue square. After the game was finished my team won and the other team lost. Then we went back to class and relaxed.

This term, in Maths, we are learning about statistics. As part of our learning we are examining data related to our health. The first part of our examination we collected data ( infomation ) about the food we ate for one week ( 2/2 to 9/2 ). The graph ( or chart ) shows how much I ate from six major food groups.

The treaty of waitangi.

2012-02-08T14:49:00.002+13:00

The Treaty of waitangi is a treaty first sighned on 6 Febuary 1840 by representatives of the british crown and various maori cheifs from the North Island of New zealand. In stead of Queen Victoria sighning the treaty she sent William Hobson to New Zealand to do it for her. The treaty established a British Governor of New Zealand, recognised Maori ownership of their lands and other properties, and gave the Maori the rights of British subjects. The english and Maori versions of the treaty differed significantly, so there is no consensus as to exactly what was agreed to. From the British point of veiw,the treaty gave Britain sovereignty over New Zealand, and gave the Governor the right to govern the country. Maori also believed ceded to the Crown a right of governance in return for protection, without giving up their authority to manage their own affairs.

My favorite part of the holidays.

2012-02-07T10:29:00.003+13:00

In the holidays I went to the pools with my family. We went to the Swimarama pools in panmure because it was a really hot day. When we first went in, my mum had to pay for my sisters and brothers my dad and me. Then we went to the changing room to get changed in to our swimming togs, after that we went to the outside pools with my family and they all went into the pool because the hydroslide was not open yet. Then a few minutes later it opened and all the kids rushed to it. When I went up the stairs and reached the top I was so tied that I went down the hydroslide, but it was so cold. After I went down I saw my aunty there with her camera taking photos of me and my big brother Dominic and my big sister Vaughn. And that was my favorite highlight of the holidays.

Camp Bentzon 2011

2011-12-07T14:17:00.001+13:00

Year 6 Camp at Kawau Island.

2011-11-21T12:15:00.009+13:00

These are 2 photos that Miss Vaa'fusuaga ( Teacher ) and Steve ( a helper ) took of Me and the Katz A ( on the Right ) and my Bivouac Crew ( Andrea, Anarhera and me.

Running to my mums room, I knocked on the door saying “ GET UP MUM GET UP” because today was going to be exciting for me. Then I had to get my day pack ready and set off for today, then I went into the kitchen to make my mum said that she was going to by me some lunch from the shops. After that we brought some breakfast from the bakery, I had 2 Chicken Kebab sticks and a Custard Pie, then she brought me some lunch witch was a Chicken and avocado sandwich and Cookie Bear biscuits with a Le-snack, doesn't that sound delicious to you because it does to me.

My favourite Activity at Camp Bentzon was Sailing. I was the demonstration for Katz A (my team) and the person that was teaching all of us was Peter, he told me to get into the boat and sit straight then he showed me the rudder that controls the boat to where to where you want to go and he also showed us that if you want to turn around back to shore you have to put the tail to the sail and leave it there until you turn around and sit on the other side of the boat, so then on the concert night I got an Eward for being the best sailor.

The best thing about camp was eating the food. Our cook Mr Coop was an amazing cooker because when I had breakfast I had a bread that was made by Mr Coop and when I put it in my mouth I wanted to go for more bread and that is like my 2nd favourite bread that I like because my first is French bread and French sticks.

FIREWORKS!!!

2011-11-07T09:48:00.005+13:00

My mum and my aunty went to the warehouse to get some fireworks. While they were getting them my sisters and I went outside to look at the other fireworks around our street. There were very loud "Booms" but it was only because those people put a Cascade inside a bottle and light it up and then it makes a very very loud "Boom". After that we went inside to watch T.V, and waited for my mum, before she got here we were making a whole lot of mess in the house so we had to clean it all up or els we couldn't do fireworks. Then at around 9:00 we started up the fireworks we had like 9 fireworks in a box that were very huge, the first one we did did a loud boom the next one wasn't that cool the very last one was awesome because of all the beautiful colors. Next we had to go inside and have supper and go to bed, that was a really cool night and there were so many beautiful colors all around our street.

Visiting Mars?

2011-11-04T12:23:00.005+13:00

One day I went outta space to see if Aliens really do exists. When I went outta space I landed on a planet named Mars. It had lots of holes in it and when I was about to say WOW, I got knocked out with a rock. Next minute I was in a Space ship with, I don't believe it I saw aliens I got really scared that I fainted. Then I woke up again in a castle filled with lots and lots of aliens I was about to faint again but then I notest that they lift me up and chucked me on a chair. When I said who are you they started talking a different language that I didn't really know how to speak. It was so bizarre.

After that they offered me some food that looked really yuk, but when I was eating it it tasted like Chicken. Then they showed me a room fulled with lots and lots of food and I started to eat like half the table, then I started getting full so I tried to ask them if they know where a bed is but they didn't understand so I acted it out. Then he showed me to a big room with 5 beds on top of each other. The next morning I woke up and had some breakfast, and after that I found my rocket, ship, he was all fixed thanks to the aliens. I was a bit sad that I had to go but I knew that it was the right thing to do, so I went in my rocket and blasted off back to Earth, it was really cool to be back in my home sweet home. At night time I went outside to look out my telescope to see mars and there it was. The End

Ngaruawahia

2011-10-28T10:21:00.005+13:00

My Favorite Highlight in my holidays.

Who came to Ngaruawahia in my family:

Nana - Lorraine
Mum - Liz
Dominic - Brother
Vaughn - Sister
Dante - Me
Emanuelle - Sister
Antonia - Sister
Bethany - Sister
Marley - Brother
and Ginaya - Sister
These are all my brothers and sisters, Nana and my mum

The first thing I did was that I had to help my mum pack our stuff. Then we put them outside and waited for the Church Van to come and pick us up. So my mum made us some dinner to take with us in case we were hungry. As soon as we got to Church we sat down and ate some food like Hot Chips and Burgers. The doctor family were all ready there eating Hot Chips and Chicken mmmmmm, doesn't that sound delicious to you well it does to me. After that more and more people came there were 2 bus's there. There was a Big bus and a Small bus most of the people went to the Big Bus but I went to the Small bus because it was worm and smelled nice not like the other one it smelled like smoke but it was warm too. Next we went on the bus and I found the perfect space to sit. It was right next to the window were I could see lots of lights. It was so cool to get out of Auckland for the 3rd time. It took 2 hours to get to Ngaruawahia. When we got there the Vaafusuangas were all ready there making sausages sizzles and there were all so apples and drinks there for us. I had about 2 saussage sizzles and 3 drinks that tasted like it had fizzy drink mixed with juice that tasted really nice. Then we took all of our stuff to our Cabin 2B and next to us were these girls after we finished packing our stuff we went to the game room and sat on the ground to see what we were going to do next. The next thing we did was that two people named Marlyse and Matt put us into 4 groups and those groups were named Georgia, Namibia, Russia, and Romania. The group that I was in was Namibia lot's of people were in there. What we had to do was to think of something to do in front of all the other country's. In my team we painted our hands that had letters on for Namibia and I was the first A. Then it was time to show it off our one went something like this ( Give me an N N you got your N you got your N give me an A A you got your A you got your A Give me a M M you got your M you got your M Give me an I I you got your I you got your I Give me a B B you got your B you got your B Give me an I I you got your I you got your I Give me an A A you got your A you got your A) My aunty was the N I was the A my friend Jessica was M and I was J.T B was my sister Antonia the I was Tateana and A was my other aunty. The winning team was everyone. After that we grabbed this Shaving cream because we didn't have any snow then we had Hundred and Thousands, and of course chocolate. We had to choose 2 people to get all dirty. And it was my friend Jessica and my other friend Levi. What we had to do was that we had to cover them up with Shaving cream for a start then add some sprinkles to decorate them. After that they had to go and take a shower in the bath rooms. Then we had to go to bed after every think was packed away and tidy for Saturday the next day. I couldn't go to sleep because this moth was outside by the light and kept on going on the light and off, it didn't end until 2:35am in the morning so I didn't have that much fun that night but it was awesome.

In the morning we got dressed into our other clothes and went inside the dining room to have some nice breakfast. I had Rice Bubbles and 2 toast with Peanut Butter it was delicious I had breakfast with my friend Jessica and my sister Vaughn. After that we had to do Aerobics to keep us fit what we had to do was that we went up to the chapel and did it there (Its like a kind of church.) After that we went to the big field to play three games. The first game was to put your face in the bucket of apples in jelly a boy named Jonty went first. The rules in this game was to not use any hands you could pass it by your mouth or your shoulder so that was a tough challenge we cheated by using our t-shirts. The second game we played was one with toilet paper and water we had to put the toilet paper inside the water and trow it at the other team and that was an awesome game. The third game was duck duck goose yes it is the same as the normal one but we had real eggs the rules for this game was to get an egg and when you reach the person you want then you crack the egg on there head and run round the circle and back to there spot. When it was my tern I cracked the egg on a man named Matt but if he taged me that person got to sauce there head and my sister Emmy did, but I made it. After that we had to eat, what we had eaten was Ice-cream and banana inside with chocolate sauce lots and lots of it. How it started to be a food fight it all started when my mum Elizabeth ate some Ice-cream she flicked it at my cousin Ramona and then she put some on my mums head, and that's how it started to be a food fight. but I didn't want to play I just wanted to eat but then my sister came up be hind me and she had a hand full of Ice-cream and put it on my face so then I joined in, after that we had to clean up. But the kids had to wash them self and they could go any where, what I did first was that I went to the showers to wash out the chocolate and the sprinkles out my hair. After that I went to the swimming pool inside this gate, it was a small pool but it was so warm, my sister vaughn and my new friend Jessica and I went together. Then people called out that it was time to play "PAINT BALL" My brother Dominic gave 5 dollars for me and him, then we went to a field that had targets everywhere. The equipment that we had was a Slingshot, a helmet and 5 little green balls that look like marbles after we were ready we could do the targets. There were three targets in front of us and I tried to do them but I didn't know how to use the Slingshot so I tried one near bye, it was a body and I aimed for the face and when I did it It sounded like this "SPLOSH" the paint went all over it. After that we had to get into 4 groups my group was with my brother and sister (Dominic and Vaughn) and Athena so we went into a spot that we could shot the other people. Suddenly Matt and Marlyce (the people that are taking care of it) said to us that there was going to be a Death Match so we did not go into teams we had to shot each other if you got Slingshot then you had to stay out and watch the other people. The only people that were left was me and a boy named Jonty. Lots of the green balls fell out his pocket and I picked it up and slingshot him. That was my favourite part of the holidays hope you liked my awesome story.

The First Day of Term 4!!

2011-10-26T09:42:00.003+13:00

I really liked our new topic called “ OUTTA THIS WORLD, it was all about Planets and Galaxy's. I saw some teachers with Alien masks on that looked really creepy to me.
My favourite highlight at the Immersion Assembly was the introduction. It was really cool when I saw all these planets, and I didn’t know that Earth was that small. These are the planets that go in order that I saw on the big screen. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars, Cease, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Eris. WOW that is lots.What I have learned was that there are lots of galaxy’s and planets. My favourite planet is Saturn because of the beautiful rings around it. If I went to Saturn I would bring a little bag so that I could bring something that is in space to my country and show them what I have collected, and I might even be famous by the end of the day.

My Favourite Highlight on my brothers Birthday.

2011-10-25T10:53:00.001+13:00

On Saturday I went to my brothers house because it was his birthday. So me and my family had to cook lots of food ( because there were 14 there) After that my mum said to me that I had to look after my brother so me and my little baby brother Marley went to the playground, while my sisters were inside watching T.V. Then I took him back and went with my sister Vaughn to my friends house and we were playing on the trampoline and put loud as music on, it was so loud that I think from a cross the road could hear it. When I was there I noticed that she had eye contacts on, that suited her and she looked so pretty. Next we went back to my brothers house and there were more people there were 6 more people so that is 20 people altogether WOW! So then it was time to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM, then we could eat. I ate egg, Chocolate Crackles and mini pies (I had 2 of them) Then we sat down and had a drink and watched T.V and then we went home. Man that was an awesome day because it was a very hot day.

AUSSIE RULES

2011-09-23T10:55:00.003+12:00

In stead of playing Badminton on Thursday’s we do Aussie Rules. Aussie Rules is a great thing to be taught about. We have been introduced by a lady named Megan, who is going to talk to us about Aussie Rules. When we were there she took us on to the field and told us to either bob down or sit on the grass. We also learn about how to bounce the ball, bouncing the ball was easy but the drop punt was kind of tricky to me. Anyways Megan said to us that we had to bounce the ball every 10 steps or 20 meters. I am use to bouncing a rugby ball because I have 1 at home that I practice with after my homework. That was one of my favourite things.
My favourite game was when we had to get a rugby ball and to pretend that there was a river between the Tigers ( My team) and the lions ( Mr Somerville's team) After that a man named Johnny told us that when you kick the ball it has to come over the other teams head and land on the ground. The first team to win was the Tigers but then we had a second match then the lions won. But then it was time to go to class, and it was an awesome day so maybe one day you should try it. Thank you for listing to my story about Aussie Rules.

Rugby World Cup 2011

2011-09-16T12:49:00.003+12:00

My favourite part of the Rugby World Cup was when a boy was walking through names of rugby players on the ground. The last name was Jonah Lomu he is the best Rugby player I have ever seen and herd about. After that they both walked to a tall trophy that had a girl singing a beautiful song that I would like to learn, when I grow up just like her because she has a beautiful voice and she is pretty. Maybe one day I would be just like her.

My 2nd favourite Highlight was the Fire Works. They looked so cool when Mr Somerville ( My teacher) showed me on his Mac Book, but I really wished that I would of been there but I was at my Church Camp. To bad I couldn’t see the Rugby World Cup 2011, opening ceremony in Auckland. Some people from my school said that some of the Fire works came out the Sky Tower. And I said Wow that sounds awesome. My teacher Mr Somerville said that he was trying to get on a train but all the trains were filled because of the people at Sylvia Park, and I just laughed.

Jonah Lomu.

2011-09-06T10:03:00.010+12:00

Hi my name is Dante Bartlett and today I'm writing about my favourite All Blacks player. Jonah Lomu is one of my favourite All Black players. He does the most hardest and strongest tackles. His full name is Jonah Tali Lomu and his position on field is wing. He was born on the 12 of May 1975. Rugby union is New Zealand's most popular sport school. He attended Wesley College, Pukekohe. He was inducted to the International Rugby Hall of Fame on the 9th of October 2007. After that Jonah Lomu started to be the best All Black Rugby player. Jonah Lomu ROCKS!!!! One day I wish to meet Jonah Lomu because he is awesome and cool.

Broncos vs Sea Eagles.

2011-09-05T10:26:00.005+12:00

Yesterday night I watched the Broncos and the Sea Eagles playing rugby on T.V . And do you
know who I saw? I saw Darren lockyer. Darren Lockyer is one of my favourite rugby players. When I watched them play I knew that Broncos was going to win and you know what, they did. So me and my dad and my sisters started to cheer for them it was 18 to 10 it was a tough game. Lots of them played really well and so good. But if I were there I would cheer so loud saying'' GO BRONCOS GO BIT THAT TEAM DOWN'' Here is a video of them playing. Hope you like it.

New Zealand Infomation.

2011-08-26T12:43:00.005+12:00

You could find my county, New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean. Polynesians settled NZ in 1250 - 1300 and Europeans first made contact in 1642. In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the Maori and British people. Maori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and non - Maori Polynesians. The Maori name of New Zealand is Aotearoa which translates to ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’.
There are three main Islands named, the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island. New Zealand also has Niue, Tokelau and the cook Islands apart of it’s realm. The official languages in New Zealand are English, Te Reo Maori and New Zealand Sign language. In the North Island of New Zealand is the largest populated city called Auckland. The four largest cities are Auckland (with one-third of the country's population), Christchurch, Wellington and Hamilton.

Room 16 on One News

2011-08-24T09:56:00.019+12:00

I was really excited because a lady named Kim came to our class and said that we were going to be on T.V! Suddenly our whole class started to try and look pretty in front of the camera, just like me. We had to be very quiet so that Kim could talk about Pt England School having Netbooks. Here is a video of us on One News and you can see Room 16 working very quietly. I felt really stink about the other schools not having Netbooks, but if I were to be the owner of the Netbooks I would help the poor schools get them so that they would have fun like we are right now. Have a great time watching us on T.V and you can leave a comment if you would like to!!

The Life Education Caravan.

2011-08-11T09:45:00.004+12:00

On Monday the 8th of August we went to the Life Education caravan.We first had to take off our shoes then we had to line up from biggest to smallest so that meant the biggest had to sit at the back and the smallest at the front. Room 16 was waiting for a while so that Harold the Giraffe could come out and say hello. When he came out and told Lynn that he had to do Homework he had to do his homework. When she was reading his Homework Harold stared behind the paper and started to look at Elizabeth and then Lynn said’’ Harold why are looking at that girl’’ and he said ‘’ I want her to be my girlfriend’’ and then everyone was laughing. So Harold went inside his room and we had to do his Homework but we only did three or two tasks for him. The first thing we did was learning about the body parts . Then the body systems. So there were lots to do then. Then we went to go back to class it was very cool and funny when you go there you have to put up your hand when you want to say something.

BACK TO SCHOOL.

2011-08-05T14:25:00.002+12:00

On the first day of school I was so happy to see all my friends and Mr Somerville. Our new topic was called’’ KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL’’ that is an awesome name for our new topic. Lots of the teachers were dressed up as them self's but with rugby t-shirt. They all looked awesome and funny that I thought the people were going to laugh but they didn't. Mr Jacobson was always shouting out ‘’ IRELAND’’ like about 6 times. We watched about a couple of videos and the others were acting. My favourite highlight was when they gave out tickets so you could get some food Lola had gotten one but not me. That’s the sad part but I really had a great time.

MY HOLIDAYS.

2011-08-05T12:52:00.001+12:00

On a Sunday morning I went to church. After that we went to my Nana’s to have lunch my cousin Tamika came with us. The first thing we went to do was that we ate some lunch. We had little pies that are called’’ party pies’’ and toasties with cheese and ham and some spaghetti toasties. Next my brother went to Sylvia Park to change 3 of his PS3 games to a NARUTO game. While he was there me and my sister and cousin went up stairs and played fashion show. My cousin had to give me and my sister some close that we could put on in my sisters room. We tried lots of clothes on but then we had it me and my sister were wearing short shorts and cool as t-shirts. Then we had to take it off and put on our normal clothes and go home. That was a really fun time.

MOTAT.

2011-07-05T09:27:00.003+12:00

On Thursday Rooms 15 ,16 and 17 went to MOTAT. My favorite highlights was the Tactile Dome. A man choose Lola and she had to choose 3 more people to go with her and it was Mary V, Jay’lee, and I. I went in first then Lola, Jay’lee and Mary followed. We had to go down this fluffy long slide and we all stood up trying to find the way out. The boys were caching up to to us. We felt a net so we were going to go over it but it felt like we should go up it. So then we landed on a step and there was this little slide that led us to a dead end. I began to get really scared because I didn't know there was something there. So I jumped and I sat on a cotton flat bean bag. Then we felt there was a tunnel that we went through and another slide. So we went down it and we ended up in a pile of soft toys. We finally made it to the end but then I got out and I tripped and fell on the mat and everyone saw me. I said to my friend that it was scary and fun.

Partley Cloudley.

2011-06-16T09:13:00.004+12:00

The movie that we have seen in room 17 was called" Partley Cloudly".
In the story there are 2 characters it is a cloud that made dangerous things and a stork that delivers.
This story was set up in a sky with clouds around it making things to deliver to mums and dads.
It starts starts off with stokes flying through the air and delivering things to animals, and people.
The main action is the cloud making dangerous baby animals. Then he has a stork that all ways gets hert.
This ends with the cloud being angry because he thinks his stork is working with another cloud. But he is actually getting armer from the other cloud so he can be safe.
I really like it so I'm going for 10/10. I like it because it is interesting and funny and it has lots of clouds making animals and baby's.

My Pet Camel.

2011-06-02T09:49:00.006+12:00

Me and my friend Tui decided to have a holiday at Egypt where we could get lots and lots and lots of gold. But the problem that there was a camel and no one seemed to own it so me and Tui were going to ride on it but it was quit hard to, you know get on it.Tui and I were thinking of bringing it home but what would mum and dad say they might get frightened. So then we went on to the plane but what about the camel so of course I had to bye an enormous suit case and then my camel and some of my clothes to cover him went in the suit case and in to the plane we went. When we went home mum and dad did get angry about the camel but we could still keep it I was so happy. But all dads under pants were missing and I knew who it was it was the camel.

On August the sixteenth it was my birthday. I decided to bring my BFF Jay’lee. We were going on a vacation to Hawaii. Isn't that awesome? The first thing we went to was a beautiful beach that was see through so we could see all the fish and sea horses. Then we went back on to the hot sand and had a rest. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! “What?” said Jay’lee. “There is a Magic carpet on top of me!” Then Jay’lee fainted. I was frightened but the Magic Carpet was so kind that he took us to our parents and Jay’lee was all right. Then mum asked, “What is this Carpet doing here?” I said, “I’m keeping it in my room.”

‘’YEAH,’’ Mum said. We could keep it, I was so happy that I ran around the field 2 times. I called her Jordan Sparkes. She took us every where we wanted to go. It was fun. The last thing that we wanted to go to was the sky tower. So we started going up up up and the carpet banged in to the sky tower, and then me and Jay’lee went down down down and landed on a trampoline. But Jordan Sparkes was injured, she was riped and dirty. So we took her home and asked mum if she could stitch her together, and then me and Jay’lee would vacuum her, so it took about 30min to get her stitched up. And it took us 21min to vacuum her. Then she was all right but she could not fly us to the sky tower but we went every where else.

In the weekend I slept over at my sisters house. On Saturday I had to wake up very early because I had to go to the deaf church with my Nana and sister.

Then We had to eat some lunch and me and my sister had eaten butter chicken - it was yummy and my Nana had a cup of tea. Then a lady was here to drop us off to deaf church to make some cards and Easter eggs. First we made cards while my Nana was melting the chocolate. We made a few cards then it was time to make some Easter eggs. I could of gotten the one with a lot of pictures on it but instead I took the big Easter egg. Then we had to put the melted chocolate into the plastic mould and then shook it and put it into the fridge. Then it was time to go home. It was a fun day!

Embarrassing Moment

2011-05-16T09:29:00.000+12:00

These were the 2 of my embarrassing times on different days.

It all began at the shops when I was embarrassed in front of a few people. I was getting some apples and putted it into the trolley. Then I took about 5 steps and my big brother Dominic put his leg out and I tripped over. So I stood back up again and then there was a 9 year old girl who was laughing. I thought about going to punch her but we had to go and eat some lunch.

It was so embarrassing when I was walking to school in the cold rainy wind I was holding an umbrella. there were other people who were there too but the wind was so hard a girls umbrella flew away and I started to laugh because it was funny. then I was walking with an umbrella and the wind was blowing hard out that the wind broke it. Then the girl was laughing at me. then I went across the road and gave her my umbrella and then ran to school because I didn’t want to get soaked.

Bigger, Better, Stronger, Faster

2011-05-12T14:34:00.000+12:00

On the first week of term 2 Room 16 started to build up towers in our class room. The first thing we had to do was that we had to get into 3 groups our you could do it your self I was in a group of 2 with Turuhira and I. Our equipment was 8 pieces of paper, 1 pear of scissors, 1 glue stick and 1 long strip of sellotape. These were the only things we could use to build a tower. We had to think of some things that could make a tower out of all of these equipment. It was difficult. Then my group came up with an I dear!!!!!!. We thought of the strongest shape that could hold our tower and the strongest shapes were circles and triangles. So out of our paper we made 4 papers shaped as a circle so that we could make a stand with them but then it started to wriggle a bit but it still could balance. But there was some thing wrong we had to make it strong enough to hold the big heavy block. The whole class only had a few minuets left we were finished but other teams had to keep on doing there’s. Then it started to be a challenge our group was second to last and we lost but we tried the winner was Andrea she had the tallest tower that standard.

My Dinosaur :)

2011-04-12T09:46:00.009+12:00

Thousands of years ago there lived a Stegosaurus named Cathrine. She was not like the other dinosaurs because she was the only one with blue eyes and the rest had brown eyes. She was the shortest dinosaur out of there family. She loved to eat veges because she was a vegetarian but her family's were known as the best meat eaters. Cathrine also likes to eat plants her favorite veges are Carrots and Corn and the only meat she eats is Corn Beef its her favorite. They lived in a beautiful enormous white house that was in Washington. There were 24 bed rooms for my brothers and sisters and one huge one for me. My brothers and sisters get lots of money but when I get my money I save it for my family to go on a trip to Hawaii.

Cathrine is short but strong, she has spikes on her tail to protect her self from her enemy, plates on her back to look really cool and her skin color is Tan. What she likes to play is Tiggy. That is her favourite thing to play because she is very fast and is better then her family.

It looked perfect their were alot of crackers around on the tables and chips in the ice-cream containers. Then they said the prayer and it was time for dinner. It was a delicious dinner and it was time for dessert. Then I went to go and get my dessert I had a cake and some strawberry's. It was time for presents and I was only aloud to open it at home. My present was a box that sang Merry Christmas and there was a cup inside the box. THE END.

BYE BYE DENTAL CLINIC.

2010-11-24T09:53:00.003+13:00

On Friday the diggers came to our school. The dental clinic got demolished from its ginormous jaw. When they were prising off the weather boards they found a massive wasps nest that looked like it was (made out of) a papery mound. The digger, a tyrannosaurus Rex gribble the top of the Dental Clinic and pulled it to the ground. As it collapsed the windows chatted, beams and splintered. After the builders were finished destroying the Dental Clinic, all that was left was a pile of rubble and blowing dust.

Swimming

2010-11-19T10:23:00.008+13:00

Eagerly awaiting our swim we all had life Jackets to put on. some of them were a fit tight and some of them fitted snugly. When I put on my life Jackets I was shivering and shuddering. Fidgeting with excitement I couldn’t wait to get inside the pool. ‘’You can hop in now.’’said Chris.’’Yay I cheered.

Chris , a kind and helpful man , had come to talk about water safety. He is staying with us until the end of the term. Amazingly Chris had brought a portable pool with him too it was big. I thought to myself that maybe 30 people can fit inside the pool. I was right but it was a bit of a squash.

When I first went inside the pool my teeth were charting and my body was shivering and shacking. We had to go into our help position. There was alot of screaming and squealing but I didn’t I was relaxing.We learn the help position to conserve your energy that when you lean back cross your arms on your chest and float.

Little Critters.

2010-10-13T09:16:00.007+13:00

Little Critters.
First we went into the hall for Immersion Assembly and that’s where we found out? There were alot of people who had costumes on, such as bees, butterflies, ladybirds, and snails. The best ladybirds I saw was Miss Walters and Miss Lavakula.

Mr Burt was crawling on the floor, he said, ‘’I am a mosquito a nasty one’’. He tried to chase after Mr J saying something about blood. It was disgusting and made me shudder. Luckily it was time for team 1 to come up on stage.They were spiders except for Miss Wild she was Little Miss Muffet. They were singing Incy Wincy spider and Little Miss Muffet, but my favourite song was Little Miss Muffet because when the spider sat on her shoulder she screamed and my ears were shattering. That was the funniest part about it.

My next favourite was team 4. When it was time for team 4, their team was called a Bee Colony. Mr Barks was a beautiful queen, dressed in a wavy blond wig with a crown who had 4 eggs. He had bees who worked for him who were feeding, cleaning, and cooling him down. The 4 workers were Mrs Squires Miss King Miss Garden and Miss Va’afusuaga.

Canterbury Earthquake.

2010-09-14T10:33:00.001+12:00

An Earthquake hit Christ Church and caused a lot of damage. It happened at 4 am, Saturday morning, unfortunately striking a lot of houses which collapsed. The measurement of the Earthquake was 7.1 on the Richer scale. Its epicenter was 10 kilometers down beneath the earth.

There was extensive damage caused by the earthquake over a large area. A lot of houses were split into two. Some houses collapsed, at least 100 000 homes were damaged and about 450 need to be demolished. The whole place was littered with rubble and sea of mud from the unstable grounds.

The earthquake caused many dangers both during and after it unexpectedly happened. People huddled under doorways to avoid getting crushed. Many others evacuated. people had to watch out for bricks failing on cars and falling glass. There were ruptured water and sewage pipes. They always have to watch out because contaminated water could give you diseases.

My story about sailing.

2010-09-02T09:53:00.004+12:00

Sailing today was amazing. The wind was blowing strongly making my boat slice through the sea. Unfortunately the wind was so strong that it blew the boat and started to sail faster.

After that I found land and I saw some coconut trees so I hopped off my boat and I went under the tree. I started to go and eat some coconuts from the tree and they were delicious so I stayed on land much longer , as long as I could.THE END.

Cross Country

2010-08-26T10:47:00.004+12:00

Today the whole school did cross country on the field. When the second bell rang we went on the foot path and waited for the race to begin. I started to feel really scared and nervous when we went to go into our age lines (of our groups.)
Suddenly it was our turn to go on to the field, after the 10 year old boys. As soon as the boys got out the gate our race started with a loud BANG! Every one started to run. We were all running in a bunch. I sprinted as fast as I could and I was coming first until I got to the gate. I jogged all the way to the huge tree but then I sprinted because I know that champions never give up. So I kept on running until I got to the finish line. Heather was catching up to me so I ran fast but then it was a tie between me and Heather. I did not know what I came because I had a dry mouth and I needed some water. Finally I said to myself that that it was over. The End.

Jesse Martin Storm

2010-08-23T10:41:00.002+12:00

The violent wind whipped spray off the sea slapping Jesse Martin’s face like an angry lady. As he was struggling to walk to the bow of the boat the wind nearly blew him overboard. Unfortunately the strong wind pushed him and made him stumble, but luckily he got hold of a grip of the boat and held on tight.

As Jesse Martin was grinning the winch the wind was howling strong in his face. It was like a powerful and strong wizard telling him off. When the wind nearly blew him overboard he yelled out so loud ‘’HELP’’ he yelled and his voice was losing.

My Favourite part at the Maritime Museum

2010-08-18T09:40:00.007+12:00

On Tuesday we went to the Maritime Museum to learn about a lot of stuff about different kind of boats. Many people go there to learn about the sailor's and what they use to travel on. Our first activity was a guided tour with Salty Sam, a gruff, and grumpy, man who bellowed out orders to us. He was dressed up as a captain and even sounded like one.

A minute later Salty Sam showed us us an replica of immigrant ships cabin. It was dark and dingy and I was the one who was sitting next to the dummy of an immigrant who was creepy. Suddenly the cabin started gently rolling and it was a bit scary too. After the immigrant ship Salty Sam took us to the flat bottom scalt to do a steering test with him.

One part of the tour was a replica of an Immigrant ships cabin to find out what it was like for the Immigrants coming to New Zealand. The Immigrant ship’s cabin had 10 beds on each side and it was for the people that came from another place. There was a toilet and a place to wash yourself in. It was creepy when I was next to the dummy, I tried to sit down but his hand was in the way.THE END

One tree hill

2010-06-25T14:57:00.003+12:00

On Tuesday we went to one tree hill but before we went to the trip we had to go to the hall to talk with Mr Burt about our trip. He started to talk about the activities that we would be doing on our trip. After that we went out of the hall and went on the bus.

When we went in the bus we started to get excited about it. After that people started screaming and I tried to sleep but people kept on talking and I just couldn't have a rest. Thanks to the bus drivers we couldn't done it with out them and thanks to the parents for helping. It was fun when Lola and Heather were playing sweet and sour which is a cool game,and as they were playing I was counting, how many people but some people were moving and I had to count again.

Finally we got there and it was so smoggy I nearly went into some and I almost fell over. But I was okay. Then we saw some hearts and some words in a big hole. Do you know that a man called Logan Campbell planted 500 plants? After that we had morning tea, what I had was an apple and my le snack it was so yummy that I tried to have some more.

Finally we walked to the top of One Tree Hill and looked around the place and counted how many volcanoes there were.

For our last activity we we played capture the flag that was the last time we had to look at it but sometimes people can go and see it again and learn about it and that's cool. After that we went to go and eat some lunch.

Lollipop land

After that we went on the play ground and it looks like fun so I hoped on it and it was funny. Then we went to go and eat some lunch, we had yummy food and that was my second time going to lollipop land. Finally we went to the other side of the play ground and it was fun when we went on the slide because It was big and there's even a baby play ground and it was only for baby's but I still went on it. Suddenly we had to go on the bus back to Glenn Innes and head back home. This was the best day ever in my life.

After that Tony started to hand out the bikes, there was orange,green, and there was also big orange ones but there was only one. It wasn't fun when I standed and watched so I asked Miss Squires '' can you tell Tony if I could ride a bike and he said yes you can. It was so fun by myself because I had more turns then the other people. FINALLY WE GOT TO SET ON THE GRASS AND RELAX FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. My favourite part is when we were on the grass and doing a relay and standing up on the bike. My second favourite part is when we played follow the leader because we had to do copy the actions like him.

We were listening attentively to Tony as he was talking about safety precautions. Then they went to go and get the correct safety equipment as we go on the bike. He also said that '' we had to check if our bike was in good working order.
As I was going over the ramps of the obstacle course. I pushed my self to the limit to try to do my best and going in between the cones. Tony was showing us how to go on the ramps and cones.

Suddenly Adrian said to Tony to switch over. Tony's group went to the hand signals. It was so much fun when we had to do the hand signals because some people nearly fell of like Lola nearly fell of the bike. I felt so nervous when I was doing hand signals because it felt like I might fall down.It was tricky manoeuvring around the cones.

Dante Capture The Flag

2010-04-28T10:55:00.002+12:00

On Friday room14 and 15 played a new game called capture the flag after morning tea on the bottom field. It was a tactical game.
First Miss King divided us into 2 teams, Room 15 was red and Room 14 was green. She also explained the rules, she said, ''If you get tugged you have to stand there until someone in your team gets you and takes you to the other side."
I was doing an awesome job of guarding the flag and Mary was rescuing people. Soon we were the winners at playing. When it was finished all of us were cheering and clapping for our team and the other team.
Finally we were exhausted and sweaty. Last of all we had to pick up rubbish and our class won again. That was the end of the game. I am so nervous and excited about playing a new game on Friday. I know it is going to be a fun game for all of us.

We wrote scripts as if we were one of these people and recorded our scripts with our animations of the European ships arriving in NZ playing in the background. Mine is one of the ones that was finished and played on P.E.N.N. ours school news programme
