Duffy Thearter

2012-02-15T14:42:00.001+13:00

Walking Anxiously in the hall I couldn't wait t'll the Duffy theater starts. I was to excited to watch it, as I walked this lady said "Hi" so I replied "Hi". Sitting on the floor the Duffy Theater started with a amazing song that all of us should know The Duffy Song.

My Favorite part in the Duffy show is when they sing. It feels like I'm really part of it but I'm not. I want to see another show but it's not going to happen only Next Year.

THANK FOR PERFORMING TO US!

Netball

2012-02-15T10:41:00.000+13:00

Netball is a game of Team work and skills. We went out for a game of Netball on a hot and shinny day. My Favourite skill is Mid air it is funny as you do it but when you get along with it’s not so bad. Mid air is a skill all you do is Run than leap and one person will throw the ball at you. Working as a team on a court called Team Work friends help you play netball and you also could do some drills and Practice.

Finally it was time for a game of netball but this was different we had to get in a group of three. I was Sweating, It made me wet and icky “Yuck” I said. Also I was Exhausted at the same time I was hydrated and tired.

This was a difficulty game and was hard-work. Then Helen passed the ball to me, But I lost the ball because the year 8 defended me and took the ball. They were too hard so they scored the ball. We’ll as we played through they won and we were the losers. At Lease we tried our best.

Family Reunion

2012-02-03T12:27:00.002+13:00

Through the Holiday's I went to a Family Reunion. This Reunion was held for a special Family called the Rimaati Family. This was in Otara, Sir Edmund Hillary Marae.

When we were there I went inside and there were so many mattresses. 1, 2, 3 I couldn't hardly count them. This was a very tricky situation. So I asked some people that I didn't know to help me. As we were counting we were talking on the way. Finally we were finished, there were about 56 mattresses.

Next we went inside this hall called the Whanau Kai where we eat. My Aunty took me inside and told me where we eat and how to behave. My cousins were finally here, we were all happy.

We had a great time and I met my cousins who I didn't know.

Relationship

2011-12-08T12:36:00.001+13:00

Relationships are Friendships. You can write poem or quote about friendships. I have been thinking about a friend and I have wrote this for you.

I love you as a friend. My heart goes down when your not with me. I always dream about you and think about you when I am bored. I like to play with you and with other friends but you will always be in my heart. We love to swing and sleepovers. You are so funny and playful. When it is summer we will always play with the water. When it is autumn we will always play games in my room. When it is spring we will always pick refreshing fruits to eat. When it is winter we always my play snowball fight with our other friends.

This is the poem I wrote about you.
To Rebecca and Dante

Film Festival

2011-12-05T10:24:00.001+13:00

I was so excited watch 2011 Film festival.

Time to go on the bus I had to look after two little kids from room 1 and 2 they were very excited. The two little children were called Lishana and Latu. We were going to Sylvia Park. As we were sitting in the Cinema we saw a extreme screen.

My favorite highlight is watching the Billy.T movie from Room 15. Brodie had a good actor and it was very funny!! I loved Brodie when he acted like Billy.T and when he laughed that was funny to me. I love the movie I wanted to watch it over and over again.

Kawau Island

2011-11-25T10:21:00.001+13:00

Weka birds, Tui and a wood pigeons are native birds from Kawau Island. At Camp Benzon it was very clean and the beach was very windy when I got there. On the way to Camp Benzon we were supposed to see some dolphins but we didn't. Bringing all the camp bags in it was very tiring because some of the were heavy and some were light. We were in teams

My first favorite highlight is doing abceilling and it was very scary. Our adults were Stu and Camilla. When got to the top I was scared to travel down, so Camilla said to be confident and face my fears. As I went down I started to like it and it was fantastic. When I made it down to the end I was finally finished. "That was fun" I said to Mrs Va'afusuanga.

My second highlight is kayaking. First we had to connect our kayaks and had to switch. Then we had to kayak around the wharf two times and Then we can kayak far. Then there was an emergency something had happened to shoal.

On the last day I asked Mrs Garden if she could take Andrea and me to go and see a Wallabies. We looked and looked but then they all ran away. When we went back and we saw a Wallabies face to face.

Concert time I loved our Performance but it wasn't good enough. I really love The Kawau Team. Finally it's time to see how came First, Second, Third or Fourth. Fourth place was MANSION and the crowd went wild. Third was KATZ and our team we wild. Second place Bentzon and lot's of cheers went on. First Place was Kawau and the whole crowd went wild and crazy.

I had a great time at Camp.

My Review about Kawau Island

2011-11-14T10:15:00.001+13:00

I can’t wait to go to Kawau Island it’s going to be awesome. I am going to be packing my bag with lollies, biscuit and my packed lunch. I feel really excited and I think it’s going to be fun.

Camp Benzon is where we go camping in Kawau Island and Kawua Island has different Native Species. We are travelling by a fairy and I haven’t been on a fairy before.

Camp benzon is a very cool place because we get to see Wallabies. There are also cool trees called Kanuka, Manuka and Pohutukawa most native trees. We could look at different native things in Kawau Island.

I’m looking forward to travel in a fairy and play some most awesome activity’s. Because this is my first time to kawau Island with my friends and Helpers. I think that It would be a lot of fun doing my Favorite activity’s.

My challenge is facing people and being confident when I sing a song or Present our concert. I have another challenge as-well it’s facing the world alone and trying my best.

My conclusion is getting there and having fun with my friends and Teachers.

My favorite Singer

2011-11-07T16:18:00.001+13:00

At home I have been listening to my favorite song. This song was called We Belong Together by Mariah Carey. She has the most beautiful voice and her tone is cool. i love singing it because I like the way she sings along with me. I wish I could go to one of her concert to watch her and her wonderful voice. Mariah Carey is like a big fan of mine.
I hope you really enjoyed it!

Fireworks

2011-11-07T10:06:00.000+13:00

I was at home just looking outside when suddenly I heard a Stupendous bang. Fireworks lid up the sky. There were bright, light, and colorful colors all around New Zealand. "Wow" I sighed, I could not believe my eyes. Then when I saw my cousin come outside I went down the road. When he lid a firework One hit a car across the road, One went flying down the road. My cousin and me were laughing. It was so cold outside that I wore 2 jackets I couldn't stop shivering.

Shivering outside in the cold I saw Fireworks from far away. This was like a show from a carnival. As I was still shivering I went back inside and got a sparkle and it was sparkling. I could write my name, draw and dig it in the ground. Now it was time to go back inside and rest for another big day.

Flying in my Space Shuttle.

2011-11-04T12:50:00.001+13:00

In space when I was flying in my space shuttle I went past Jupiter. When all of a sudden something hit me behind my space shuttle. Did you know what it was? It was a big Asteroid. Boom bang what a hit I could not control my Space Shuttle. Suddenly everything turned of and then the Space Shuttle started to fall. I put on my suit and Helmet then jumped out. After that I was floating on Gravity. Suddenly I was standing on Jupiter. It was beautiful and Colorful. I stayed there until another Space Shuttle came up. Boom it was finally a Rocket. "Yay," I said happily "Time to go back home".

We have six people on this rocket and their names are Louis the Captain, Alisha The Manager, Cameron, Andrea, Mary and Moses and the name of their crew is Rocospacey. "Fire system operated!" said The Captain (Louis). "Fire system Operated Sir," said Alisha. Now it's time to get going on the rocket. Counting the rocket down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 Blast off! "Taking off in a rocket is freaky and going up so high, I mean it's so scary," said Alisha.

Going to Willow Park!

2011-10-28T10:39:00.001+13:00

On the first week of the school holidays I was getting my stuff ready to go to willow park for Riverside. It was my first time going on a camp for riverside. I got to see my friends and join in their group if Mr Burt said. When I got dropped off at school I saw my friends and said hi. When everyone was here we put our bags in the trailer so Mr Clark could drive them down to willow park. When the roll was finished and medicine or money was dropped of to Mrs Hamilton it was time to go. As we hopped on the bus the bus driver drove us to camp. Every girl was excited as the were talking on the bus. I was just relaxing and very happy at myself. Andrea and I were sitting next to each other eating on the bus. Finally we were there and I jumped out of the bus and went to go and run into the hall called the Rimu Room. When we got there we had some activities to do.

We had to get in groups then we had a little chat. After Mr Burt finished chatting he send us to our cabins that our leaders showed us. Then we had to run down and get our bags to put our blankets on our own beds. We had 8 beds in one cabin, Three bunks and Two single beds. When we finished we Relaxed and had a little rest while everyone was playing outside on the trampolines, playground and played volleyball outside. When the SIREN went we had to run to the Rimu Room to do our activity's.

My first favorite highlight was playing with the willow park toys and this was fun. There were so many things, these are the things that we would want to go on Green Machines, Quadbikes, swing trolleys, wobbly bikes and scooters. Out of all of the willow park toys I choose the Green Machines. I loved it because I got to drift inside the gym.

My Second highlight is sleeping. I love it because I could rest my head and chilax. Now this was a very difficult thing when I try to sleep because it is annoying when people talk too much. At night on the first day when I went to sleep Andrea and Me were eating lollies at night time. After that Andrea and me were told of. So we went to sleep.

My Third highlight is swimming in the beach and kayaking. When I dived in the beach I was shivering like a penguin. "Next rotation" said Mr Burt, when Andrea and me was in the kayak I started to rock it and she screamed. Splash! Went the boat I was laughing and Andrea was shouting at me.

EATING is my fourth highlight. I love the food on the first day for lunch we ate hot-dogs and it was delicious.

I LOVE EATING!

At camp I have learnt that God died for our sins and We Love God. On The Third night I became a follower of Jesus.

Aussie Rules

2011-09-30T15:45:00.001+13:00

Sitting on the muddy grass we had two coaches for Aussie Rules there names were called Megan and Melissa. First we had to get in a group of 2, Zion and me were Partners. First our skills were Hand pass and it is so simple. All you have to do is get a rugby ball and pretend that you have a cone in your hand. If you have that already then you hit your hand in the curves and than it will fly straight. Our Next skill is when we had to do a Drop Punt and this is a very simple skill. You drop the ball on your leg with the X facing it. Then it will go to your partner instead of hitting it to the side.

We had two Training Activity’s which is Ninja elbows and Ninja Knees. It was so hilarious when Lola was trying to get Andrea so she can hit her Knees. This is the most fun Activity ever! Hitting each others Knees was so funny.

Playing a game of baseball but with a football was so excited. I kicked the ball but then one person in the other team catched the ball then I got out. But still my team won. Aussie rules is so fun to play. It has different skills and games to play.

AUSSIE RULES IS COOL!

Cross Country Story

2011-09-22T09:20:00.002+12:00

On Wednesday 7th September 9yrs old to the 11 yr olds went to walk down to the reserve. I was nervous but people were happy because they wanted to come first. First up was the 9yrs old girls. They were talking about something but they didn't go first. Then Mrs Garden took the 9yr old boys. The 9yr old boys went first. Then After the 9yr old boys it was the 10yr old boys. When they ran I thought that they had to pace (Jogging). Then it was the 11yr old boys and some of them paced. Next was the 11yr old girls they sprinted and when they were about to stop they started to jogged. Then it was my groups turn the 10yr old girls. I was feeling Nervous inside my brain. Suddenly when Mr Burt said GO! I ran fast then I jogged. When I was running I could see that Tauwhare was already tired from running fast at the start line. When I finished Jogging I stopped and went over the bridge. I went through Bridges, Zig-zag through rocks and went up steps. This was a challenging race. When I was at the end I went past Te Rina then me and Mele had a race but Mele won.

This was a very Challenging Race on Cross Country!

Opening Ceremony

2011-09-16T12:38:00.001+12:00

Waiting Anxiously for the Opening Ceremony to start I was excited. Thousand and Thousands people were there. As I was watching I was thinking about my favorite highlight. Here is some Highlights that I like in the Opening Ceremony.

My First favorite highlight is a lady who was singing in her best voice. The song made me proud and she looked like she has been practicing for a long time. Ladies and Men were dancing. When it was finished I saw a ugly face of a Maori man doing the Pukana. “ This is my favorite part” I said to my brother. The lady was singing in her best voice. I loved to sing the song on the opening ceremony.

My second favorite highlight in the Opening Ceremony is when the fireworks was lightning the sky. Colorful fireworks everywhere it feels like I want to watch the fireworks forever. The fireworks nearly made me cry because this was the most improve show I ever saw in New Zealand. Fireworks was coming from the city and Buildings. Big, Massive, lightning and colorful fireworks were all around town. “Wow!” I said to myself. Me and my brother were watching Television on Maori Channel. All Nations came from all around the world to watch the RWC and watch there Rugby Team. I really love the fireworks when they Lightened the sky like Lightning.

My Third highlight is when we got to watch the Rugby Game. All Blacks vs Tonga. Me and My Family was Cheering for the All Blacks team. I would always cheer if the All Blacks score a try. First game was very hard because I didn’t know what was going on. I am not that Interested in Rugby games. When it comes on my mum changes it when I am watching a movie. If that was me playing a game I would be Nervous because it might be my first game standing in front of thousands and thousands people. Suddenly when the All Blacks scored a try I Jumped up and down on my bed. Well I wasn’t actually jumping on my bed I was jumping on a mattress. After Jumping I sat down and watched T.V I nearly fell asleep but I promised to myself that I would stay a wake. Then the All Blacks scored another try I could see that the crowd was going wild just like me. As I was watching T.V I fell asleep. The Next Morning I woke up and said to my brother “who won” and he replied saying “The All Blacks”. So then I started to run around the house and jumping up and down.

BEST FIREWORKS EVER AND SHOW!!
THANKS NEW ZEALAND FOR THE BEST IMPROVEMENT SHOW EVER!!

New Zealand is a main country in the South Pacific Ocean. It has 3 main Islands which are North Island, South Island and Stewart Island.

The first European to make it with his crew to New Zealand was Captain James Cook. He was born in Britain. First James Cook Circumnavigated New Zealand. After Cook finished his journey he wanted to call it New Zealand and make it his. Suddenly there were Maori’s and they thought they were the first to make it to New Zealand. This was a bad situation so it turned out to be a war. In 1840 6th February there was a treaty held between the British and the Maori to settle the war.

Visiting Harold

2011-08-11T10:01:00.002+12:00

On Monday the 8th of August we went to visit Harold at the Life Education Caravan. Our whole class was very excited. First thing that we had to do was to take our shoes off and put them under the Caravan so they wouldn't get wet from the horrible weather!

Finally it was time to go into the caravan. I was very excited! Lynn put us into four rows. Then it was time to relax and settle down. We had a little talk to Harold and he asked politely if we could do his homework, because it was a little hard for him to do. So we said, “Yes." We learned all about our body. Tam told us about livers and what it does for us in our body. Did you know that the liver is the size of a small watermelon and has over 500 jobs to do? The liver sorts the food and stores up the Minerals and Vitamins.

When we were talking about our body we heard a strange noise and we looked up and there were lights shinning bright. After that we looked to the right and saw a brain talking to us about where our food goes in our body. Wow that was cool!

Finally it was time to go and we were so sad because we wanted to stay for longer but we couldn’t because it was morning tea time. I can’t wait to go back on Friday!

When school started the whole school went to the hall but room 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 walked down to Tamaki College for their Tech time. As we went inside the hall we were given a ticket. I was wondering what it was when suddenly Mr burt said that we could use it to buy a treat like a Drink, chips or hot chips and sausages! When the show began we had to watch the teachers dance. At the end we were to that our topic was called 'Keep Your Eye On The Ball'.

My favourite highlight was when the teachers in team 4 got to choose a player so they could feed the teachers weet-bix. Did you know that the All Black players eat 10 Weet-Bix, 2 Litres of milk and a Dozen pieces of toast a Day? I'm not sure if that right!

My Favorite Holiday Highlight!

2011-08-04T14:50:00.002+12:00

My favourite highlight from my holiday is when we went to the movies, to celebrate my cousins 4th birthday. She was very excited. We took a train to Sylvia Park. On our way there my cousin said to my Dad, “It is my birthday!” He replied, “Your birthday is actually on Friday”. Finally we were at Sylvia Park. It was very cold but then I was sprinting to get warm and hot. When we went inside it was like a concert or a party. We were walking and I saw so many fun activity’s. After that we went inside the movies and got some tickets to watch Cars 2 but the theatre was full and packed with people, so we had to get some tickets to watch Kung Fu Panda 2.

When we finished getting some tickets we went to valley girls because my mum wanted to see her cousin who's name is Jessica. When we finished talking to her we went and got some food to eat in the movie. As we were walking along we were late. So, we had to rush because my Dad forgot to tell us what time it was. As we got in the theatre the ads had already started. After the ads were finished the movie started to play. The highlight in Kung Fu Panda 2 that I liked was when he was onto a roof and he was speaking in a language which no-one could understand. As he was going down this statue called the fire breathing dragon, which is a very powerful object that can fire hot rocks that will turn into lava.

After the movie finished we all went back to Glen Innes for a well deserved evening off!

Something Really Naughty!

2011-07-08T12:26:00.004+12:00

One night as my mum was at work I had a plan and asked my brothers "Should we play a game of blind fold?"They said, "Yup". I said, "Are you sure?" They replied, "Yes!" So then the game began and I was the first one to be blind-folded. When we finished playing Blind-Fold we started jumping on my Mum's bed. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and I quickly hid under the bed and my Mum stormed in screaming her lungs out. So we had to do what our Mum told us.

MOTAT Trip

2011-07-05T09:26:00.007+12:00

On Thursday 30th June Room 15, 16 and 17 went on an exciting trip to MOTAT. We drove on a bus, it was a very long trip. As we were at MOTAT we met up with a man called Frazer, he showed us many things and took us for a tour. We went to the lunch train right in the middle of Motat.

Tauwhare's sister was a helper, in her group was Tauwhare, Te Rina, Melvin, Tevita and Me.

My favourite highlight is going in the Tactile Dome. It was a mysterious dark room that you can’t even see a thing. When they told us to go I was so scared that I was freaked out, Andrea kept screaming at us. It was challenging as I went through the Tactile Dome. When I was nearly at the end I was crying because Te Rina, Tauwhare and Andrea left me behind and as I got my way out through the exit, I was still crying so my friends hugged me make me feel better.

My second favourite highlight was going in the Mirror Maze, it was hard to get out and I bumped my head while everybody else was running and screaming trying to get out. As I got out I took a deep breath and went through the mirror maze again. I had no clue where I was going. I went on my third time and it was challenging on the way out. On my fourth time I got around it and made it out again, because I practiced, practiced, practiced which makes me perfect at doing it.

It all started when lots of Storks were holding bags and when they open it out comes a Baby, Kittens and Dogs. The main action in this story is when the cloud makes sea babies but they are mean to the Stork. The Stork was always getting hurt by each dangerous animals that Partly Cloudy makes. When the story was about to end Stork went away from him and he got angry so Lightning came out of his cloud and he looked at the Stork he started to cry but when The Stork came he stopped crying. When The Stork opened the bag it was a Baseball Helmet and a Baseball Suit and the cloud was so happy. Partly Cloudy made an EEL and it shocked The Stork but he Didn't care. My Rating for this story is 10/10. I rate this rating because it was amazing and funny.

First we had to call the roll to make sure everyone was here. After the roll we all had to line up in our teams to know that we were organized and set ready to go down to Dunkirk. Now we all had to go down to Dunkirk.

All of us were set to go down. We walked all the way down to Dunkirk. We crossed roads carefully. Saw dogs on the way, saw beautiful houses even Mr Burt's house it was lovely and we saw his boat as-well. Me and my friend Laita were talking on the way to Dunkirk She said that she was excited to play on our first game. Finally we were there we got told to take our shoes of because we were playing in bare feet.

Than our first game began and most of the girls were so nervous but we knew we were going to beat Bailey Rd because we believed in our selfs. Suddenly the game began. We dogged and step-side the girls in Bailey Rd and scored a try. We twisted and turned to get a score and used our targets. After a while we had another Try. Our school won 7 points and Bailey Rd scored one so we won by many points. As our game was finished we were all happy that we won our first game. So we had a Break for a minute.

Emersion Assembly

2011-05-25T09:28:00.001+12:00

On the first day of term 2 we had an exciting Emersion Assembly. Our topic for this term is BIGGER, BETTER, STRONGER and FASTER. Suddenly there was a strange and weird noise coming from at the back. Every one at the back of us were wondering who was Darth Vader from Star Wars. It was Louder, Stronger, Bigger and Better. As it came in to the Hall we knew who it was. It was our Principal Mr Burt wearing a suit that was Darth Vader and a Mask as-well.

Suddenly the show began, each team had to stand up and performed about our topic for this term. First team was Team 1. Looking in the lunchbox was yummy, healthy food to eat. The team one teachers got out the yummy, healthy food and shared it with us. As it came to our side Dante tasted the sandwich, she said it tasted nice. I wanted one because she said it tasted nice. When that show finished it was time for team 2.

Team 2 had a funny show, how to make things better then boring things . When there was a funny noise it was a song that was cool. After that the magician was dancing which made it funny. They went to get things out of a rubbish bin and put it in a magician machine. The part that I liked was when they pulled out a normal hat out of a rubbish bin and they put it in their magical machine and out came a cool hat. I was shocked.

Next was team 3. Their team were alright to me, but I really need to wash my hand, Nah just joking! Miss Walters was funny the way she danced. Here comes the water spreading everywhere, they were very clever.

It was time for my favorite team it was team 4 especially Mr Somerville and Mr Marks. Mr Somerville used a power duster out of a drill. Looking at Mr Marks powerful robot arms would take lots of work at making it with cardboard.

Wow that was a great show on things that are Bigger, Better, Faster and Stronger.

The Tallest Tower

2011-05-16T09:16:00.004+12:00

What an exciting day on term 2 we had to build towers out of thin papers. We had the opportunity to work together or we could work alone. As the competition began our equipment was nine pieces of paper, a strip of sellotape, scissors and glue.

I was sweltering because I had no way to make a tower out of my equipment that I got. Suddenly I had an idea. As I was working (trying to get it right) it got messed up, because it was getting windy outside. I was trying to work something in my mind. So I worked hard trying to get it right to make it Bigger, Better, Faster and Stronger. My partner was myself because I wanted to work alone. It was hard with everyone screaming. trying to figure out a way to make a tower.

I have been studying ways to build a paper tower out of paper and make bridge out of straw. We had to use triangles to make the tower Bigger, Better, Stronger and Faster. I think our topic so far is alright to me. I love studying about inventions so far.

Bigger, Better, Stronger, Faster

2011-05-10T09:03:00.004+12:00

Here is a slide-show of us. We are trying to make a tower out of paper, glue, a strip of a tape and scissors.

My Embarassment.

2011-04-06T09:52:00.004+12:00

On a hot sunny day in 2007 when I was little we were swimming in a little pool, which was mine. Me and my brother were playing tiggy. We both went inside chasing each other around. Then I ran outside while I was pointing at my brother. When I turned around I banged myself into the fence. It hurt so much that I cried. My face was red and then I fell to the ground. My mum and dad were so worried that they took me to the hospital. When I opened my eyes I saw them with funny faces and started laughing.

Next time when I do something like that I should be looking out were I am going.

The thing that I don't what to get embarrassed about is doing a fart in class even if you need to do a fart. If I do a fart in class people would be laughing and that would make you fell really embarrassed!

My Holiday

2011-02-16T14:23:00.004+13:00

Wow! My favourite thing about my holiday? Is when I went to spend the Christmas with my dad, in Tokoroa. It was a long trip to go to my dads house.

The first thing that we were going to do was to drop of my auntie to edgecumbe were my aunty Joe live with her children. As we got there I was excited to see my aunty and cousin it was my first time. I was playing on the X Box 360 while my dad and my stepmother was talking to my auntie Joe.

It was going late, so we went to my nana's and Uncle's house. But first we had to get us dinner because we were starving like a pig. As we finished we had to clean up.I was tired so Me, my dad, my stepmother and my little sister and brother went to sleep.

The next day we went to tokoroa to my dad house. We went over Hills through tunnels and going around circles. When we got there it was a big house. But lots of rubbish. It had a big background and a big shade. Inside was 4 bedroom.

The next day it was Christmas. Until I opened my eye my brother was opening his presents while we were a sleep. For Christmas I got a MP3 player, a phone and 100 dollars , I was excited and happy.
For dinner we had drinks, meat, hot chips, lollies and gravy.

Until it came to desert I was already full. My stomach was full of food. When the cake came out i could smell the cake it smelt like choclate so i ran trying to beat me litte sister and brother. I was the first person to sit on the table.

When it came to new years I had to go back home. It was a long way as well and my brother and sister were Annoying. So I went to sleep. When I woke up we were nearly there I was so hungry so we went to buy us a feed. We had Burger king.

As we got there my mum wasn't there she was gone. So we went to my cousins. When we were in Glenn Innes I saw them they were going to my aunty's house. Then it was going dark so we went to my house and my mum was there. Then my dad had to go I said "Bye dad", and he said "bye". This was the best holiday!!

Superhero Girl

2011-02-16T11:57:00.018+13:00

Hi my name is Superhero Girl. I have super strength that makes people happy. My mum told me that I was a superhero. I was excited! I dreamed to be a superhero it was all I wished for. My Mum gave her strength to me because she was getting too old. I love my costume I wear stockings, t-shirt and boots. People think I'm evil but I'm not. I'm good just like my mum.

My villain is Volcano boy and I have to put him in my secret jail place with all the bad people. I am 10 years old and I go to Point England. I have learned my super powers fast. While I was doing my homework I heard a stupendous bang and I also heard people yelling ‘Superhero girl HELP!” I was frightened that my people were hurt. I got up and spun to change into my costume. I went outside and it was Volcano boy. He always picks on us and he said ‘’I am going to destroy this planet and it would mine forever," then he laughed weakly.

So then the battle began. We were the most powerful superhero’s on earth. We fought and fought. Until I took a big fist to volcano boy and he fall onto the ground. I told all the people to hold on to me because he was going to blow up. Then “BOOM” the people were frightened.

From that day on we lived forever and no troubles came and families were happy.

Swimming Thoughts

2010-12-02T09:25:00.002+13:00

Having a great pool four term four was so awesome swimming. Sometimes the pool would be cold or warm I had a fun time. I wish we could still have the swimming pool so we don’t need to walk down to the public pool near our School.

Chris asked us if we wanted to do swimming lessons at lunchtime. I wanted to do it so I can have fun during lunchtime. I chose life surfing because I haven’t tried it out before. Once it came to Thursday I got to do Surf Life Saving I was excited. We got to ride on a Surf Life Board and ;learnt about what you do if you are drowning. So if you are drowning and you wave your hand the life guard will just wave back.S o you just paddle under the water and put your hand up and don’t panic.

Thanks Stacey and Alice I had lots of fun with you.

Also i like playing water polo even it was my first turn. I really enjoyed Thank you.I really had fun with you Nichole and Matt.You made up a cool game that i enjoyed doing.

2010-11-16T10:02:00.010+13:00

During the night, a mother butterfly lays an egg. One sunny day the egg hatched. Out came a caterpillar, it look for its food.

The caterpillar was so hungry that it went off looking for food. The caterpillar eats milk weed leaves until it gets fat. It makes a chrysalis , where it will take two weeks to transform into a butterfly. Suddenly the monarch butterfly hatches out.

The monarch butterfly takes several hours until its wings are dry. Finally the butterfly is now free. It eats nectar from flowers. As it ate lots of milk weed as a caterpillar it contains poison in its abdomen. So whenever the Predator eats the butterfly it spits it out, because of the poison.

Milo Rugby Skill

2010-10-13T09:12:00.003+13:00

What excitement Auckland rugby union and even some of the Auckland rugby team came to Pt England to teach us some skills. First the guys had to introduced themselves to us so that we would know who they were. After we had met these famous players, we had to go in one line so we could get our milo. When it came to my turn, I thought that the milo would be warm, but it was cold. However the milo still tasted cold and delicious.

While room 14 set of to do some skills.We met a man called miracle, he got us doing relays. We had to run to one cone and do five star jumps, zigzag through some poles, then do five push ups. The next skill relay was to run around the cone two times, zigzag through the poles and run around the cone two times again. After that I felt exhausted also room14.

Having fun at the Disco

2010-09-17T14:11:00.005+12:00

At lunchtime on Friday, we had a disco, to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day. I was so excited and everybody else was as well. We chased each other and we were paying around, so we got told off by the teachers. As we gatherd around trying to make a circle, we were going to see who had the best pirate costume. I was cheering for the best pirate costume. Then as our fravouite song came up we jumped up and down, waving our hands in the air. I got so hot and sweaty. I screamed and danced. Over beside me I could see lots of people screaming, dancing their guts out and waving their hands in the air. Sadly, April said, "This is the last song for today". Everybody felt stink.. As the song finished we shouted Thank you year sevens.
This was my favourite disco by far.

On Friday we are going to talk like a pirate. We are also going to put a disco on.I am a bit nervous, because we have to talk like a pirate. I don't know how to talk like a pirate, only my other friends can talk like a pirate. I am not that brave at even trying to talk like a pirate. Everybody is excited about going to the disco more than having to talk like a pirate.

In the holidays I was so excited to be going to Ten pin bowling. When we were there I couldn't wait to get out of the car. I quickly ran into Ten pin bowling beating my mum inside. Waiting for my mum was so hard because there was so many games that I wanted to play on. As my mum came in she gave me some tokens to play Deal or no Deal and I got some tickets for winning.

Finally once I had finished at Ten pin bowling. We went to go and eat Burger King for dinner.

The icy-wind was biting my face as gale force winds blew the Ted Ashby boat along. My hair was in my face as the weather was cold. As we reached the Harbour bridge I could feel the breeze rushing down. Heaving and struggling, we pulled the sheet to lift up the sail.

The Eruption of Mt Tapu - July 1 2010

2010-08-01T21:07:00.000+12:00

When we first started art I was excited. My group wasn't good at working together as a team. It was hard to work as a team, We never listened to each others conversations about our volcano. I think we learnt more about making our volcano erupt. When it was time to erupt I couldn't wait because that is what I'd been waiting for. Next time I want my team to work together and help everyone in our team. Our writing was good but we made it too long for our movie, We need to speak fast and put some more interesting detail included.

Thundering stormy rain bucketed down from the grey sky. As it fell it made a loud noise like an earthquake. Incessantly the rain poured from the sky in a deluge and made a big puddle. The rain interrupted our singing, as it hailed down.

We learnt that meat can be lamb or beef. Dis you know that hamburger is a healthy food? When we danced with Iron Brion I was nervous when we danced on stage.
When the beef team went up first we shouted and did iron muscle moves. When the other team went up we were so excited to see the other team. Now it was time to chose the winner and Iron thought about it. It was our team! We screamed and shouted "horray" . Finally we had a fresh delicious hambuger.

Volcano - April 22 2010

2010-08-01T20:56:00.002+12:00

On Monday Morning Miss King gave out balloons to room 14. I was struggling, huffing and puffing as my balloon expanded and my face went red like I might explode. Room 14's balloons popped like lava coming out of a volcano.

Magma heats up inside the magma chamber and there is too much pressure and it is released like air the in a ballon. Magma, smoke, gas and ash spew out of the volcano as it erupts.

Stretching my legs I skated around the circle.It was hard work as my feet melted in the roller blades.When I skated I slipped over and nearly donked my head on to the ground. When we played limbo I felt very excited so I skated as fast as I could. As I bent down it looked like I was relaxing.
