Show Not Tell Upset

Slowly her smile turned upside down which then became a frown. From there, water coming from her eyes travelled down from her face to her hands. She wiped her face again.

Cyber Smart

2012-02-16T14:43:00.002+13:00

Part 1

She Snow White has just made the biggest mistake of her life, posting a photo of herself on her facebook page on in a whim. Her settings were on private and the only people that could see it was her friends... she thought but she was mistaken.

Her friends must have put the photo on another website, which was public. “ Oh no” She flippantly said to herself. Snow White saw that everyone had seen her photo online, she felt mortified at herself. She tried to in vain it off every website she could find it on, but it was everywhere and now everyone could see it. “I give up” she sulked. Eventually it would go to her parents. “ How Embarrassing”

Part 2
Too often these days people post on pictures, information and many more things that aren't cybersmart. The consequences for this is hurting people, never finding a job and dodgy people might know everything about you. I urge you to think before you post, here are some information for the consequences.

If you want a job in the future you would need a positive footprint. Future employers will google search your name and see all the things you have done in the past. If you have a negative footprint, like bad photos, bad comments they will defiantly not except you.

You never know that a dodgy person can connect you, show your post to anyone and to share your photo to other people and then everyone in the world will see it. Some people put there settings on private, but are they really?

Many people have been hurt by what people say and do online. Some of the things that people say can start an argument. So if you can’t say it directly to there face then why would you say it online?

The Internet is a cool tool to use for learning, and finding out things. But if you do the wrong things on it, things can go wrong. So once again I encourage you to THINK BEFORE YOU POST!!!

It was a cold day at the Beach

2012-02-08T10:13:00.000+13:00

It was a cloudy day at the beach. The sky grey as can be, was turning more dim by the minute. As soon as I put my foot in the water, shivers ran up my spine and my body was covered with goosebumps. “This is not the best day to be at the beach” I muttered to myself.

My life with out a netbook

2011-12-14T09:39:00.000+13:00

This year is so much cooler and better with our little device; our Netbook. Last year I used to write on scrunched up paper and no one could see my writing. But now everyone in the world can see what I am learning. It is the new way of learning!

Our netbooks are helping us to learn by our self and not relaying on our teacher too much. We also have access to a lot of things that will help us learn a whole lot more like videos, rubrics and information.

There are some problems however, that are quite annoying. One of them is the slow Internet connection. Also the drawing tool is really babyish. But I'm sure that those problems can be fixed.

It the pilot failed it would be terrible - a nightmare even! I would really miss my netbook and again we would have to go back to scrunched up paper and that would be very boring.

I feel that we are learning a lot more and it is much easier. I can hardly ima gne coming to school without my netbook.

Im going to Capsize

2011-11-22T14:50:00.001+13:00

Im going to capsize!!

Have you ever been sailing? I have never been sailing until now.I think that I might be all right at this activity. We had to choose if we wanted to go in doubles of by our self. My group all chose to go by our self.

Im not as good is I thought I was.When I tried going in a straight line I ended up turning.But after a while I got use to it and started to get a little bit better.I didn’t capsize which was good but my sail was like a swimming pool.

Guess what I saw when I was sailing?I saw a black little penguin swimming.I wanted to get close to it and have a good look at it but, again I ended up going the wrong way.

A Great Camp Expirance

2011-11-21T12:23:00.001+13:00

As I put one foot into the water, it all most changed my mind about jumping off the pontoon. So I quickly dived in to get warm but it made me feel even colder .I was relived when I touched the slippery steps on the pontoon.

Finally I got onto the pontoon. I was much warmer now.But instead of me being cold I was now scared that I would hurt myself if I jumped off.

But when I jumped off my fear had gone away, and I wanted to jump off again and a whole lot more times. I also did a couple of bombs, which hurt my back. One of my favourite jumps that I did was when you spin around and splashed into the water.

Camp Benzon

2011-11-08T10:53:00.003+13:00

In one more week we are going to go to Kawau Island for a camp.I can’t wait to get there.

It is called camp Benzon on Kawau Island.You can’t get there by bus you have to get there by a ferry.

On camp there are alot of intresting activties that you can do like Absailing,jumping of the walf,orentering and a whole lot of activties. Absailing is when you ride on a yaht and you ride on it.There is also a Burma trail where you hold onto a rope that goes through the forest.In the day time you have to be blindfolded but at night you don’t have to be blindfolded.

I am looking forward to making a raft because it will be a great experience and it wikll be funny.After we make the raft we will have to try it out which will be the funny part.

I think that my challange would be trying to go to sleep with my friends because we would want to talk about our day.I hope we don’t get in trouble.

I can’t wait to go to camp and start doing activties.

Going to the Zoo

2011-11-03T10:51:00.003+13:00

"Cool the Zoo I haven't been to the zoo in a long time", when I found out that we were going to go to the zoo.The last time I went to the zoo was seven years ago.I can hardly rember anthing about the zoo.We went to the zoo because it was my cousins birthday, and she was turning 8.

I was kind of bored in the beggining because, the animals didn't really do much and there wasn't anything to see.I wished I could stay at home and watch Tv!BUt after a while I started to get intresting.Espically all the new things they had.

We saw a man playing with the elephant and told as a but it.One of the intresting facts that I heard, was that elephant can't eat throught their trunk also, Its trunk is very soft inside even though it looks like it is strong outside.But it can still move very heavy thing with their trunk.

My favourite animal was the massive tourtise.Its was bigger then a lot of the animals in the zoo.It weighed 1 ton.I was suprised when I heard.Even thought it just lay they I was suprised how big it was.

After all I enjoyed going to the zoo and I would time to go again another time.It made my weekend a fun weekend.

Going To Camp At Willow Park

2011-10-27T09:42:00.000+13:00

Cool I can’t wait until I go to camp, I said to my self as I was packing my bags. I remember when we had a camp at our school, but I have never been on a camp where they had activities. It was called Willow park.

One of my favourite activity that we played was called Get Your Own Back. It was where you could throw different type of things that were inside the container. Their were things like porridge from breakfast, mixed with grass and water yuck. Their was a lot of other things as well.

On the game Get Your Own Back I didn’t really get anyone. I was mostly running away from the people that were trying to get me. That revolting food wasn't going to get on me! But after a while some people got me.

After the game we were all wet and had food on us. So we all had a shower and got ready for chapel time, and after chapel time we were going to perform the item, that we were practicing and have a disco. It was fun.

I wish I could go to camp again. It was fun and it was a great experience.

Polar Bear

2011-09-19T10:03:00.000+12:00

The Polar Bear is the largest bear in the world. Polar Bears live on the ice, Arctic ocean and the North Pole.

The polar bear has a thick coat of hair to keep it warm.They walk on their strong legs. It has sharp teeth and sharp claws, on their paws. On their paws they have little bumps on their to give them grip on the ice.

Normally polar bears live by them self.But the cub lives with is mother for two and a half years.The mother polar bear protects it and teacher it how to hunt for food, so that when the cub grows up it will know how to hunt for food.

The polar bear hunts seals as its main food.When the seals come up to breath air, the polar bear uses it paws and its sharp claws to flip the seal over onto the surface of the ice.

A polar bear in the wild can live for about twenty years.But one polar bear in zoo had lived up to forty one years.

Badminton

2011-08-24T12:39:00.004+12:00

Our class went into the hall to have a lesson on playing with a lady called Donna that plays badminton.Badminton is just like tennis but instead of hitting a tennis ball you hit a shuttle.

There are different tenancies that you can use like the forehand the back hand and the overhand.You also have to have quick body movement and a careful aim.It felt a bit awkward hitting the shuttle.

One of the activities that we did was get a partner and practice the way we hit the shuttle.We also had to count how many times we could rally the ball to our each other.

At the end of the lesson we had a little game where you had to try hit the ball, but if you missed the shuttle, the next person in the line takes you place.We played in doubles.If you hit the shuttle right in the middle of your racket you can hear a pinging noise.

It was cool playing Badminton.I wish we could play it everyday.

I believe that the rugby world cup will be help benefit New Zealand economically and socially. The good things about hosting the rugby world cup in New Zealand is that it will get us more money to help people that need it. It will also attract tourists. The bad things about hosting the rugby world cup here is that there will be a lot of littering and also a lot of crashes from people drinking and driving.But I still think that we should host the rugby world cup in New Zealand.

In our group we have been looking at some of the things to redesign our courtyard.
In my group we decided to put in a basketball hop.We are putting in a basketball hoop so that more people will play in our courtyard.Instead of getting a blackboard with the basketball hoop on it we could just paint a blackboard on the wall and,get a hop that is really strong and it will not break.

We also wanted to add about 3-4 picnic tables to sit on and eat our lunch on and also because some times when we sit on the deck it has prickles.

We also thought of having sun shades as a shady area.We wanted sun shades because it will look good and when it is hot it will keep us nice and cool.

Movie Review

2011-05-30T14:38:00.004+12:00

The name of the movie we were watching was called Oktopodi which,was set in a Greek village. The main characters in the movie were two male and female octopus and a chief. It is about a female octopus, that got taken by a chief to be,cut up and eaten in a restaurant.So the male octopus was trying to get the female octopus back. Most of the time the chief was trying to catch both of them.I think that the main message is to never give up an to help the people you love.

Here is the link to the movie on you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=badHUNl2HXU

Swimming

2011-05-25T09:39:00.001+12:00

I smiled to myself when Miss Garden said that we were going to go swimming during lunchtime.I felt cheerful because we were going to start swimming again but,I also felt a little bit nervous.Probably because I haven’t been swimming in a while.

I slipped into the pool trying not to put my head into the water because,it felt like someone put ice in the water.I wonder if the other pool was nice and warm?But after a while the coldness didn’t bother me anymore

Straight arms,legs straight kicking with ankles,head down how am I so post to remember how to do all those things.I mean The only thing was that it was so confusing.

Why do we have to get out of the pool now.I love swimming,even thought I think I'm not good at it but I still don’t want to get out now.

Technogoly Challange Part 1

2011-05-25T09:02:00.002+12:00

“Cool were going to do a technology challenge”I said to my friend

Miss Ouano told us to construct something that would take a marble from the desk to the ground but it had to have one turn or bend in 10 minutes. But we were limited to only 1 meter of cello tape and 6 pieces of news paper.

Our group quickly discussed about what stragtie we were going use to make our tower. We had though of different type of good strategies but we couldn't chose with was the best idea. So we deiced to go with all our idea and but them toghter.We rolled up papers stuck them toghter and even scrunched up papers to.At sometimes we were arguing about what to do but we did it any way.

I feel that we did a good job and that we all tried our best.It was standing and the marble did go through.Other groups could’t make it stand so I am happy that ours was standing.Even thought our was simple I was still fun to do.

If we had a chance to do it again I would at lest do something that would make it different and give it a good structure.Also we would work toghter more because that's why we had a couple of arguments.Also that we would think of things that will help the tower and different ideas from other groups.

Why Do Babies Need More Sleep Then Grown Ups?

2011-03-30T09:33:00.004+13:00

Babies require more sleep then adults.The smaller the baby,more sleep they need.

All babies do,is really sleep and eat.Babies grow quickly when they sleep.Young children grow to but,not as fast.Even though children don’t grow as fast they still need more sleep then adults.

Grown up need sleep to rest their body's.Every time they sleep cells in their body that are worn are being replaced.As long as they have enough sleep they will have enough energy to work the next day.

The bodies for grown up mainly need food for energy.But babies and children need food, to help make their bones and muscle's strong.It also gives chides energy because they start,running and playing around the age of 2 years and up.

Heiroglyphics

2011-03-29T10:23:00.005+13:00

The word Hieroglyphics is a hard word to say,but it is even harder to spell.The word are made up with 2 Greek words meaning sacred carving.They usually show pictures of trees,animals or a weapon that represent words syllables and sounds.

The name of the marks was mostly found in temples and palaces in Egypt.All the building that were built thousands of years ago,still stand tall today.

In 1799 a Hieroglyphics stone called the Rosetta stone was discovered.They used it to find out how to work out sounds.It was a decree carved by the priest to remember the crowning of a King and copied it underneth. It had 3 types of translations so they could easily find out the secret launage and read more.

Spartans

2011-03-28T10:10:00.005+13:00

The Spartans lived in a town in the Ancient Greece.They were well known because of their honesty,courage and,their loving freedom.

Boys at the age 7 were taken away from their parents,because they were going to be trained for war.They left their hair to go long but when they grew up they ended up being policemen and soldiers.

The Spartans fought all the time,for them self or for the other city that would pay them.The field and city’s were done by some men and women that got captured by people called Helots.

Women in Sparta were very tough. As they liked to fest and celebrate when their son have died, in a brave and courage's way.But when their son came home and they have been defeated in their battle they ended up killing them.

Year 5 and 6 School Camp

2011-03-24T10:21:00.004+13:00

Yes the time finally arrived. It’s camp week! I was packed and ready waiting for us to start our activities.

The first place we went to was Swimarama.As we entered the pools I was excited because,we could go on the hydro-slide when it was our turn on and we could also have a swim.I got to go on the hydro slide I was excited but I had goose bumps.We all waited patiently in a line.Like the water going down the water slide I went really fast slipping and sliding with the water splashing into my face.

Now we got to see our tents.We saw all the tents.It was a little tent city.We started to move our bags and squeeze them into our temporary camp homes.But the wall's of my temporary house seemed to be flimsy.I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to sleep in the tent because when it rained I properly would get wet.

I was am a little tired but I was ready for the day.We had 3 activities that we were going to do.The activities were Kayaking,Cooking and Orienteering.

My favorite activate was Kayaking.It was fun except a little hard paddling it.Their were 2 types of Kayaks one was a single and the other was a double so two people can go on at the same time. At first I went in a single.I found it quite easy.But when I went in a double it was kind of difficult.I fell over once though.

One of my other favorite activate was Orienteering.I was a cool experience with using the Compass.Although I found out that you had to do it accurately and don’t rush at doing it.The aim of the game was that we had to us the compass and we turn it to what it tell us to turn it on and once it showed us where to go we and to follow it.

I felt a bit tired after doing Kayaking and Orienting properly because,I didn’t have a really good sleep.But we did have one more actives on our agenda.The actives was cooking with Miss Flavel and Miss Mitchel.

Yum for cooking we were going to make afghans.We followed the recipe though.It was fun mixing all of the ingredients toghter. Just like other biscuits we put them in the oven and waited, for them to cook.It took about 15-20 minutes.

Camp was a cool experience.Being able to sleep in tents,kayaking,Swimerama,Cooking and playing a game called Squash.I had a lot of fun.

The Sad Japan Earthquake

2011-03-15T10:54:00.007+13:00

http://tvnz.co.nz/world-news/japan-quake-another-chernobyl-unlikely-4061904

Playing Cricket

2011-03-09T13:00:00.003+13:00

Yes I always wanted to learn how to play cricket with a pro cricket player. The people we will be training with are Hammit,Robert and Chris from the Auckland Cricket team.The one thing I wondered though was if I would be good at it.

We were all siting down listening attentively to Hammit as he was telling us how to do the front foot shot. The first instruction was that we had to get into groups of four, and go to the where the wickets.After we did that we had to hit the tennis ball in the middle of the 2 cones. I manged to hit the ball a little a meter a away from where I hit it,but I didn’t manage to hit it between the cones.

After we learn the front foot drive we manged to play a little game of cricket when you had to hit the ball and touch as much wickets as you can.As we got on the last player of the team it started to become a close score but they just passed out score. It a fun game.The score was very close.I had a lot of fun.

My Dad's Birthday

2011-03-04T09:37:00.003+13:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!! I said to him.” Thank you” he replied.It was an ordinary day because I still had to go to school,but I knew we were going to have a surprise for him after school.One out anyway he could relax.

After school we ended up having a special dinner. After a little while we were ready to have desert.For desert we were lucky because we got to have some chocolate mud cake.

The dinner was nice but I think one of the best thing was seeing my Dads smile.

The Christchurch Earthquake

2011-02-24T14:21:00.006+13:00

http://www.3news.co.nz/Home/tabid/1125/articleID/199311/Default.aspx#41

The 22nd of February was a devastating day,for the people in Christchurch.As an earthquake had struck once again destroying everything in it’s path.It was was one of New Zealand’s Darkest Day’s.

As it was a devastating sight for almost every one, as building’s collapsed with people trapped under falling rubble and derbies.It was a sense of devastation and chaos.Some building’s collapsed right to the ground and some got destroyed in places.

People were traumatic,frighted and also worried about people in there family's if they were still alive.Some people that got rescued were badly injured. It was heart breaking to see all of the people badly injured.

The Seed

2011-02-22T10:24:00.003+13:00

We read a story called the Seed.It was about 2 cockroach groups called the Chafes and the scarabs.One day a seed dropped right in the middle of there territory. They both tried pulling it to there side at the same time but none of them manged to pull it over there side. So the captions of each team dicied to have a war just of the seed. It took years just to get ready making armor and prepping our weapons.But as they got in there places for battle they found out that they seed wasn't a seed any more it is now a tree growing plums.The branches were going on each sides so they could share the plums.
The End

Our New Netbooks

2011-02-16T10:27:00.002+13:00

With our new netbooks, we can use them at any time and at any place, as long as we are in G.I other wise, we won’t be able to connect to the Internet.It is also good to have a netbook so in the future when we need it we can use it.

First I carefully unboxed my brand spanking new netbook,as well as the charger.We also had to sign an agreement,to say that we will look after our netbook.Before we could do anything on our new netbooks,we had to set up our new login.

It was frustrating when the the Internet disconnected, because we had to go back to writing on paper with pencil.Some of the things on our netbook were confusing.It was also overwhelming that we can do anything on our netbook.

My Holiday HIghlight(Going To The Pacfic Island Study)

2011-02-09T14:38:00.003+13:00

“Mum when are we going to go to the fun day for the Pacific Island Study” I yelled.”We are going to go now so you can go in the car”replied my mum.

Finally we were all in the car and ready to go.As soon as we arrived I could see bouncy castles,people shooting hoops and also people relaxing under the tree.There was alot of things that we could do.

First we got greeted by a lady who gave me a t-shirt that said Pacific Island Study, and asked me if, i wanted to write my name on a piece of paper and i will be in a draw.The draw was free family passes to Butterfly Creek,the movies and Rainbows End.They were going to do the draw at the end.

We were lucky because everything was free.I also got a big stick of candy floss.

While eating the big stick of candy floss a man was signing on the stage. After he sang a couple of songs, a person said that they will be playing games soon.The games were shooting in the basket ball hop, and doing some relays and having sack races.I decided to go and shoot some hoops.The rules were if we get one in we get a rubber band but if we get it in 3 or more times in we get a prize like a water bottle,jandles or a t-shirt.I ended up getting a water bottle.

Later one one man introduced us the man from laughing Samoans. He told us some jokes and he also handed out some prizes as well as having a lollie scramble.Then they handed out the
draw but unfortunately i didn’t get any thing.Now we were ready to go home.

My 2010 Refelection

2010-12-08T12:46:00.003+13:00

This year I have enjoying being a senior. I have enjoyed being a senior because we got the opportunity to do more things and to set a good example for the juniors. The thing that I have enjoyed learning about the most was Mighty Mariners, because we got to learn about sailors,boats,ships and pirates. I would have liked to do more of art on Little Critters because I like drawing and we hardly had time to draw. I also think I could have worked harder at doing my work and trying not to get distracted.One of my best memories from the year was camp because we did things like making damper,kayaking and also playing a game called orienteering. My goal for next year is to learn more and consecrate more on my school work.

Going on a Bug Hunt

2010-11-19T10:35:00.001+13:00

Going on a Bug Hunt
“ We are going to the trees, by the school gate to look if we can find any Little Critters(Bugs)"said Miss Squires.So we were getting ready to go and see if we could find any Little Critters.

On our way Rita found a beetle with a black but hard shinny coat. I held it for a while. It felt ticklish. Then we started to carry on looking.

Clambering over rocks we were ripping off the bark when we saw a colony of ants. We started to notice that we were destroying its habit. They all started to all scurry away with its egg sac trying to protect their baby's that were inside of the egg sac. “ Look theirs a spider as well trying to run away with the egg sac"cried out some other people from our class.

After we saw the ants we were searching for more bugs. Beside us we found logs that we were left over from when someone cut down a tree. We wanted to push it over so we got some people and with and with all our might we manged to push it over. We found a black spider with long legs in a tight hole. We also found alot of other things as well all over the place.

Now we had finished looking it was time for us to go back to class.

Scientist Classification

2010-11-17T14:33:00.002+13:00

Scientists Classify the animal kingdom. That means that they sort out alot of animals just like Vertebrates.

Vertebrates have a back bone same with birds,reptiles,amphibian's,fish and mammals. Since we are mammals we are warm blooded.
But invertebrates don’t have a back bone. They take over 97% of the animal kingdom as they are compiled into 7 groups. Arthropods 10 of the groups have an exoskeleton and a segmented body

My Nana's Birthday

2010-10-16T15:13:00.007+13:00

On a normal day when we went to school. I just remembered that it was my Nana's birthday. So my brother and I said “Happy Birthday” and Manu ia Louasofanau which mean Happy Birthday in Samoan.During school I made a card for her and I was going to give it to her after school. Suddenly school was over.

When my Mum picked us up she dropped my Nana of at home. After she dropped her of she said that we are going to put on a surprise dinner for her. First we went to Pack-in save to buy some stuff for the dinner and we also got the ingredient's to make the cake as well. After that we had to cook and prepare the dinner. We had some pork,potato salad and a whole lot more to eat. We were going to have apple pie for desert and a slice of cake. So that meant that we were going to eat allot. Time was going fast. The fun bit of making dinner and desert was making the cake.

Finally it was time my mum was going to pick up my Nana. We were going to hide and when she walked in we were going to pop out of our place and say surprise and then sing Happy Birthday because the cake was already lit. After that we were going to eat dinner. After a lovely meal we had desert and then I gave Nana the card I made. I would say that the best bit about That day was seeing my Nana's smile and eating the food.

The New Topic For The Term

2010-10-12T09:08:00.019+13:00

t the start of each term At the start of each term we have an Immersion We have Immersion Assembly because, it tells us what we are learning about this term, by the teachers dressing up and doing a little act on the stage or either showing a movie. I could start to see that our topic this term was going to be about bugs but I was still puzzled about what the topic was really called.

Mr Burt who was a mosquito called out in a mosquito's voice “Give it up for Team 1” The teacher that were in team 1 were, Mrs Wild, Mrs George, Mrs Lau ,Mrs Langiupu and the teacher in room 24. They song along to some poems and danced to some songs. One of the songs they did was the Little Mrs Muffet. Mrs Wild was Little Ms Muffet and the rest of the teachers were being the spider.

My favourite team out of all the teams were team 4 because of Mr Barks, who was pretending to be a queen bee. The funny bit about Mr Barks was that he pulled out some toy babies to show what the Queens do, because the Queens lay all of the eggs. The rest of the teachers (Mrs Squires, Mrs Garden, Mrs King and Miss she was hot and also dancing to keep her entertained. Mr Squires was feeding Mr Barks, the bee honey, Jelly. Every time he was going to pull a baby he said “Wait for it” then he pulled out the baby. He pulled out 4 babies.

This term I think is going to be an interesting learning topic about little Critters. I hope that the other people enjoy the term at our school.

2 paragraphs about BlackBeard

2010-09-15T12:57:00.001+12:00

BlackBeard was a notorious pirate who terrorised the Caribbean seas on his boat the Queen Anne’s Revenge. Some people think that he was born in 1680 and that his real name is Edward Teach. His pirating career began in 1716 when he started to strike terror in the hearts of the Americas colonies by staling drugs,sugar and gold.

He had shaggy black hair and had a crazy appearance. He called himself a ruthless person. He was strapped with knifes and pistols . As he was a pirate he liked to wear scruffy cloths.

Canterbury Earthquake

2010-09-15T12:39:00.000+12:00

Canterbury Earthquake
On Saturday morning at 4am there was a earthquake that happened in Christchurch. People say that the measurement of the earthquake was 7.1 on the Richer Scale. The earthquake was 10km below the ground. The people in Christchurch were shocked that an earthquake had hit them.

The earthquake caused lots of damage. It destroyed 100 000 houses, so that meant that there was no power because the power cables were broken down from all of the destruction. There was also no clean water to drink. From all of the house that collapsed the place was littered with bricks and rubble.There were massive cracks in the ground.

The earthquake caused many dangers for the people of Canterbury. Some people came to put the power back on but the power went of again. The sewage pipes were broken as well so people had to boil their water before they drank it all around the place.

Making Chocolate Chip Cookies

2010-09-08T12:36:00.004+12:00

In the weekend on Saturday night we made chocolate chip cookies. My brother and I were going to do most of the work. First we got all of the ingredients and the things we needed to put the ingredients in. My brother was excited about making the cookies but I was excited about eating them after we made them.
First we got the the mix and put it in with 1/2 a cup of water and then put in 1/4 of oil. My brother and I were mixing and we wondered why it wasn’t sticky. It wasn’t sticky because we forgot to put in the egg. We were laughing. So we put in the egg and it went normal how it was supposed to be.
After we mixed it we were now going to put some of the mixture on a spoon and make it into a ball and then we could put it into a baking tray. Finally we were ready to put our cookies in the oven. So my Mum preheated the oven and put them in.
In about 15 minutes our chocolate chip cookies were ready. We all got to have two each to eat. I like making cookies but the BEST bit was eating them.

Cross Country Day Is Finally Here

2010-08-26T09:48:00.007+12:00

The whole school went to the court waiting for Cross Country. My legs were shaking starting to make me cold and my fingers were starting to get a bit numb. We were in our house colours. The house colours are TAKITIMU(yellow),TE ARAWA, (Red)TANUI (Blue) and MATATUA (green). My house colour was TAKITIMU (yellow)!!!

“10 year old come up onto the start line ready for your race” announced Mr Burt. Some of us were nervous. The clappers went bang and we went. We were all clumped together as some people were sprinting fast to get ahead of the bunch. When we were starting to spread out we left a couple people behind.
During the run I was trying not to stop like how champions never give up. It was really muddy, so muddy that I almost got stuck in it. It was squishing through my toes. As I went past Mrs Squires she was taking videos of people. I was hoping that she wouldn’t take a video of me.

Before I knew it I was getting closer to the finish line. With a burst of speed I was starting to sprint a little bit faster. As I was close to the finish line I could hear lots of people clapping and cheering for me. I was happy that my run was over. I had to quickly go and wash my feet and watch the other people run. I had fun doing that run. I tried my hardest so I was happy with my self.

Our Groups Movie

2010-08-24T10:02:00.009+12:00

For a week or 2 our class has been working on a movie. The movie was about our mariner that we were learning about. We had to get into groups of three. My groups mariner was Zheng He(Cheng Ho). Here is my groups movie I hope you enjoy watching it.Thanks for watching

Our Trip To The Maritime Museum

2010-08-04T11:50:00.007+12:00

Have you ever been to the Maritime Museum?Well I have been there.Our whole class went to there with room 14 and 18. We went to the Maritime Museum because our topic that we were learning about this term is about ships and Mariners. We got to the museum by bus.

As soon as we got to there we were going to have a tour with Salty Sam. He was going to give us a guided tour around the Museum . While he was taking us around I saw lots of miniature ships that were in glass cages and I could also saw some ships that people used to sail on. There were also ships that people just made and put in the museum Lots of the ship were stitched together. One part of the tour was when we went in the immigrant ship cabin. Their there were bunks and things that they used for there food and water. While we were on the ship we were gently rolling.

After we went in he ships cabin we went to another ship Salty Sam told us steer the wheel but he kept on saying “No that's Wrong”. we were all puzzled and confessed because we didn’t know what we did wrong. We failed abysmally because we were looking the wrong way. We
were looking backwoods.

After we went on the tour with Salty Sam we were going to watch a movie. As soon as we got into to the room it was pitch dark like a movie theatre. We sat on wooden seats Ms Squires was out side trying to close the doors but the doors were automatic. Luckily Ms Squries snuck in at the nick of time. It was pitch black when the doors closed. It had a circular room that had three massive screens. I was ready to watch the movie. Finally the movie started.

On the first bit of the movie they said good bye to there family because they were going to sail away to another land. They knew where they were going because the stars,whales and the sun was showing them the right directions to go.
My favorite bit of the trip was when we went on the Ferry to Davenport and back. We were all outside on the deck clinging to the rails, with the wind in our faces. We were watching the water with all of the bubbles in it. We went speeding over a few bumps. As soon as we had finished our ride on the Ferry we were getting ready to go home on the bus.

My 10th Birthday

2010-07-26T15:00:00.007+12:00

"Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you" said my brother while I was snuggled in my blankets. I started to open my eyes when I said cheerfully "Yes it's my birthday today," as I was yawning. I threw back my covers and ran down to where the sitting room was. I was watching TV with my brother until I heard the phone ring. I said hello and then someone sang back to me, it sounded like my Nana. She was singing "happy birthday to you happy birthday to you"
I was right it was my Nana. We talked for a little while and then I had to hang up because I had to get ready to go out because my dad was taking me shopping. My dad dropped by and picked up me and my brothers for my birthday outing.
We were going to the movies to watch Karate Kid. We were waiting in line until we saw that The Karate Kid was sold out. I had been really looking forward to watching the movie but I had fun looking around shops and I was lucky enough to get a game for my Nintendo. I gave my dad a big to thank him for the presents and the awesome birthday he gave me!

New Topic For the Term

2010-07-26T14:35:00.008+12:00

As soon as we got into the Hall I saw that all of the teachers were dressed up for this term’s new topic. Most of the teachers were dressed up as pirates.
Before the teachers did any items Mr Burt showed us a little movie to give us a clue about our topic this term. We found out it is called Mighty Mariners.
Suddenly It was time for Team 1’s Item. They had made a movie with an animation. The animation was about the 7 waka’s coming to New Zealand. My favourite team was Team 5 because Miss Tito was funny when she pretended to be Jessica Watson. She was a person who sailed around the world by herself. The Assembly made me want to learn more about Jessica and what types of sails and boats mariners used. It was great finding out about different sailors that had travelled to places they had never been before. Chengho is one of our mighty marinas we are learning about. He had 62 big boats that he used for holding water, gardens and horses. This meant that they could go on longer journeys to explore the world. Did you know that he also had 238 smaller boats to carry 27,880 people with. I enjoyed the Immersion Assembly.I can’t wait to learn about Mighty Mariners. I’d love to hear about other people’s favourite Marinas.

Who Am I ?

2010-06-22T14:45:00.006+12:00

My Core is made out of nickle and iron. How hot is it ? Well it so hot that it is 5000 degrees 'C. I also have a second layer called the Mantle. It is like a sea full of hot molten magma. If you didn't know I also another bit called the crust witch is the outer most layer on top of a layer of hot molten magma. On the Crust there are plates. Plates are like a jigsaw puzzle floating on top of the Mantle. Did you know that some plates are not connected ? Did you also know that the plates can move the same speed of your finger nail moving. Interestingly some plates are still drifting apart.

Our Trip to Feeding The Ducks On A Calm Sunday

2010-06-08T09:49:00.008+12:00

"Mummy when are we going to feed the ducks" my brother said. While we were just getting ready to go and feed the ducks. While we were on our way I was playing my Nintendo. Finlay we arrived. We all got out of the car and was ready to feed the ducks. When I went to feed some of the duck they were all looking at me suspiciously. As soon as we finished feeding some of those ducks we all moved on to another place we there we walked around we could see lots of different types of birds. It was interesting to see all of the different colours that they had. After we feed some ducks it was time we were going to go home.

Our cool Trip To One Tree Hill

2010-06-03T09:21:00.005+12:00

I just remembered that today we were going to go to one tree hill.We went to one tree hill because long ago one tree hill was a volcano. Luckily it wasn't raining because we would have been soaking wet.Suddenly we all went on the bus ready to go to one tree hill. Then we arrived. We were all going to go to three types of place at different times.
One place was the learning centre the two other places were when we played a game and when we climbed up the mountain. First my group went to the leaning centre to learn more about how volcanoes are formed and lot more information.One of the things that I learnt was that one tree hill has been around for about 400 to 500 million years. As soon as I heard that I said "wow that is a long time". Right after that we got to see a movie that showed us what one tree hill looked like when it erupted. Then we Finished our lesson and it was time that we were going to climb the mountain.

It was a hard time while trying to get up but I managed to do it.Before I knew it I was on the top of the mountain. I was proud of myself because I have this far. So we all had a little rest a. Now we were all ready to go down. As soon as we got to the bottom we we ate our lunch and we all played a game called capture the flag while waiting for the bus to come.The bus came and we were ready to go back to school.

I had fun going to one tree hill.I hope when you go there you will have fun.
The End

My Questions

2010-05-28T14:29:00.012+12:00

I am asking questions about our new topic for this term.So that I can get more information about what we are learning about.

My questions for this term are...

2010-05-21T14:38:00.004+12:00

"Cool" I said to my self because today we were having a person come to our school to teach us about bike safety. The people who were teaching us about bike safety were Tony and Adrian. They came from a place called big Foot Adventures.

While Tony told us about safety precautions we all were listening attentively to get more information about the correct safety equipment. The safety equipment includes a safety helmet,bright visible cloths to wear and good footwear(shoes) to wear. Then we carefully adjusted our helmets so that it was tight and snug.

I carefully manoeuvred over the ramps and cones in the obstacle course.I kept on thinking that I would fall but I just kept on saying to myself "I will be OK". While wobbling and wiggling I was tiring to balance precariously. Then I finally made it and i was really happy.

Before long it was time that we had to swap and learn about a different type of strategy. The different type of strategy we were going to learn was for when we were on the road. If we needed to turn we learnt how we could use our indicator(hand signals). As Tony demonstrated how to do the indicator it looked so easy. He told us we had to count in our head ,while we were doing our hand signal we had to count for three seconds. we all said 1 banana 2 banana 3 banana before we turned.soon it was my turn. I did what I was told to do and I made it,maneuvering carefully while focusing on trying not to wobble and fall.

it was cool doing the Big foot Adventer. I hope that we can do it again
The End

Mr Bark's Cool Experiment

2010-05-19T14:55:00.007+12:00

I wonder what we we are going to see down at the reserve with Mr Barks? I knew it was going to be about our topic this term but I wasn't quite sure what it was going to be about.

As soon as Mr Barks told us a little bit about what he was doing it all made sense. First he told us a little bit about the dried ice that he was using for the experiment to show the power of pressure. Did you know that dried ice is so cold that it would burn you because it is -75 degrees C? For Mr Barks to get that type of stuff he had to sign a lot of forms to say, that he wouldn't do anything silly with it.

He also brought some safety goggles to get the dried ice out of container) and an oven mitt and Tongs as safety precaution's. Suddenly. it was time he did the experiment. So we all waited with excitement ready to see what was going to happen.

He put in the dried ice and water into a bottle and made sure it was tight and secure. After a 20 second delay we all heard a massive boom. Mr Barks told use that the dried ice turned from solid to vapour but we couldn't see it. He also told us that the water speed it up. Soon he did one more. But this time he put the oven mitt he was using on top of the bottle.

The same as last time we all counted to 28 and then it all went "Bang!". The power split the stitching and ripped it all apart into two. It resembled a volcano eruption.

Our Exciting Immersion Assembly

2010-05-19T10:18:00.006+12:00

My eyes lit up when I got in the hall because I could see all of the teachers dressed up all in costumes.I said to my self, "I wonder what our topic is going to be about this term?" Soon we all got settled into our places and then our principal Mr Burt came in and told us a little bit about what our topic was going to be this term.

After one term 3 and there item had finished it was time for my team(team 4) to do there item.First Maggie Magma,the host,announced the who were in the item. The peoples names were Miss cinders,Miss Lohar and Miss Bionic Tectonic Electronic Supersonic.The show was called "Are You Smarter Then A Ten Year Old".My favorite bit of the show was when Miss King ( one of the people in the show) kept on getting the wrong answers and saying silly answers. My other favourite part of the Immersion Assembly was team 5 because one of the teacher called Miss Tito was being funny by saying that one of the other teachers from our school was her friend her name was Miss Lavakula .She also said that her name was Miss Cooler Lava.

I can't to learn because it seems like it will be an interesting topic to learn about.

The Life Of A Bowling Pin

2010-04-27T12:55:00.002+12:00

"I don't want to get hit by a bowling ball" I said to myself while seeing a person getting ready to bowl in our lane.I wanted to tell them to bowl on the next lane but I couldn't because I was a pin, and pins can't talk. Like an army I just had to stand there with the other pins. Suddenly I saw a bowling ball accelerating towards me I said to my self "Why did I ever want to be a pin." Nervously I was wanting to hold on to the other pins. A big bowling ball smashed into us. Most of us crashed to the ground but a few of us were still standing tall.I saw a machine picking up some of us to another place and then another thing came down and swooped the rest of us down to a dark place. As soon as that person finshed bowling we all came up and somebody else was getting ready to bowl.

My First Netball Game Playing for LORENS

2010-04-26T17:46:00.011+12:00

"Yes I said to myself I am going to play my first netball game for my club. My Club is called the LORENS! I was so excited but nervous at the same time. I couldn't wait to play but the only thing I didn't want to do was wake up early in the morning because our first game was at 8:25am. So my mum's friend dropped me off because her daughter played in the same team as me. As soon as I got to the court my coach saw me and gave me my uniform. I went into the toilet and put on my uniform and went back to where my coach was and we waited for everyone else to arrive. So me and the people who where at the courts got a ball and did some drills.Then the other people arrived. As soon as they got changed we all got ready to get our stuff ready but there was one person missing so we all waited aFinally it was time for us to go to the court we were playing at so we had to get our bibs on and we all had to rush over there. Luckily we had enough people to play. Then we finally got there and the people in the other team were waiting while we got sorted in our places.The coach in the other team was looking like she could tell that we were going to lose because we were unorganised but as soon as we started to get the ball there eyes lit up and they really started to get into the game. Then we got a goal "Yeah" we all said. Then it was back to the game but this time the other team got a point. At the end of the game the score ended up being 2.1 so we lost this game but we had one more game to play so we were still happy.

Then we all found a place on the grass to put up the tent we had.It was a long wait but our couch brought a game called Bop it so we all toke turn and it kept us occupied.Then it was time for next game and this time we were organised and the score ended up being 11.0 so we won and we all celebrated on the side line.

Then it was time for us to go home.I had a great day.

On a Friday we were Luckily enough to have a day of school.Why?Because it was Easter Friday(also known as good Friday).We had a Easter hunt around our house.We were going to go to the park and have our hunt.But then we thought that somebody might steel our eggs.Even if we went to a park were nobody was there someone could have easily came to play and saw eggs a taken them and eat them.That wouldn't be fair.So that's why we Had it our house.It would have been just as fun like having at the park. Now it was time we had our Easter hunt.So my brother I ran up stairs to our room.i was so excited I just wanted to get the Easter eggs and eat them all instead of having a Easter hunt but I did want to have a hunt.Then It was time that we got to find some of the Easter eggs.All of the Easter eggs were outside at the back of our house and around different places in our house.

Then we dashed everywhere just to find some Easter eggs i was so excited I accidentally fell over in my backyard.Then I got up and started to look around the place to find some Easter eggs.while I was searching for eggs I found out that My little brother was cheating with my Nana inside because she was showing my baby brother were most of the Easter eggs were inside while we were looking for Easter eggs outside.I said "hey that's not fair ".
by the time our mum said to came into the siting room to count how many Easter eggs we had I ended up having 3 Easter eggs but I was sure I had more ester eggs but they must have fallen out of my bag.
After that we got a big Easter egg and went to the park.It was a fun Easter Friday
I hope you enjoyed you Easter Friday because I did.

A Weekend Outing

2010-03-23T12:17:00.002+13:00

Have you ever been to Wakawhi beach?Well I have and so as my Aunties and cousins have.I went with them in the Weekends.There was a park there as well as a beach.While I was playing on the park I saw on really long slide.It looked like a cool slide to go on.I went down on the slide.While sliding down I felt like I was a snake slithering down because it was a slippery slide.Then I wanted another go so I had to climb all the way up to the top.
Beside The other side of the slide I saw my brother who had found a flying fox.So I ran all the way it to where he was and I stopped just to catch my breath.While waiting for my brother I shouted "Hurry Up"Because he was taking a long time to come back with the flying fox.He Finlay gave me the flying fox when he gave it to me he said "I am going to play touch with Dad and our Aunties.So I had the flying fox all to my self.While he was running to Dad I got on the flying fox.I pushed My self from the pole that was there and then I was zooming past things it felt like I was flying with all the wind going pass my face.Then I wanted to play touch with them so I left the Flying fox there and went to play But by the time I wanted to play we were going to go to Wakawhi beach that was just down the road where we were.My Dad drove us there then we saw that the tide was out but all of the sand looked like mud because it was soaking wet not damp but soaking.Then we just stay there for a little while and looked at how the wave were flowing in and out well my Aunties wen't really looking at the waves the were talking but I was looking at the waves.
Then it was time to go back home and have a shower have dinner and go to sleep ready for tomorrow.

On Friday we all lined up to go to room 15 to play a game called Capture the Flag.We were playing with room 14. First Miss King precisely explained the rules while we were listening attentively. As soon as Miss King divided us into teams we got straight into playing the game.Then we lined up and went on to the grass to play our game.The aim of the game is to get the flag to your territory. Capture the flag was a tactical game to play because it was a good strategy game to play.
On our first try we all ran all over the place trying to get the flag to our territory. Each time a team got a point we started all over again. People were cautiously guarding the safe side where we had to get the flag. Every time I got tagged I got gratefully rescued by somebody. As soon as Miss King said go we all charged like in a real war just to get the flag. The first point we got was from Starford.We all started cheering.Then we started all over again to see who will get the flag now. It was a really fun game to play. I was starting to get exhausted and sweaty while running back and forth all the time.
Then Oshania got a point for us.
Capture the flag is a tactical game which is also fun to play.I heard lots of people screaming.I tried to get into the safe spot were the flag was and luckily I got in and got the flag but when I tried to run out with the flag they tagged me so I had to put the flag back to where it belonged and go back to where I got tagged and wait for somebody to get me and take me back to our territory again.
It was exciting game for us to play because we had never played that game before.
Soon though it was almost time to eat our lunch so we had to stop our game.The score ended up being 5.1 so we won.
