Athletics

Tomorrow at athletics it is going to be a big day. I am feeling really nervous and excited. My favourite event is 200m run and throwing. I still need to achieve high jump and 200m run. But it is still is my favourite event. Tomorrow I am excited because my brother is coming to vardon and he is going watch the school do athletics. He is also going to wear his Hamilton junior high uniform. I am really excited.

Athletics

I liked practicing 200m run and throwing so far because I've liked sprinting since last year and throwing is easy . I have learned to sprint while I am running on the track. I've practiced my 200m run around my house and throwing at the park.  

100 WC

It was a dark, gloomy afternoon in the depths of the woods.  I was in my spooky house that night and a stone had broken my window. Then a cat walked up to me and meowed. When I was walking home my house was lifted by an invisible man. He is strong, he is bad and he is glad that he is lifting my house. He thinks that it is funny. It was dawn and I went into my pool. I was training for swimming. Invisible man would think that I am the strongest. My eyes turned green with anger. To Be Continued.

Coraline

My group was reading a book called Coraline.
We read each chapter everyday.

This is coraline dressed as a scare crow.This is the other mother holding the key.

I like the part when Coraline was dressed as a scare crow.
The part that I didn't like was when the three kids who was alive many of years ago because the tallest one had black eyes ,she was also the bedlam.
My group has been reading Coraline the book for days. We were reading each chapter everyday until the book is finished.

The Deep Pool

The deep pool was cold as ice. Too deep to touch the ground. I am the smallest in my group but I don't care .I'm not here to be tall i'm here to learn swimming. I don't need to be small, I don't care if i can't touch the ground in the cold deep pool. Now its time to have freeplay in the warm pool and i'm warmed up and I love swimming in the warm pool. Now its time to get changed. Room7 walks back to school.

Maths

For the past couple of days I did maths about my name. We coloured our letters then I cut them out and I glued them on coloured paper. Here is an example. My letter A is 18cm squared.

My Plane

On Thursday I was drawing a Plane with my class Room 7. We all did our own one. lift is up and gravity is down. Drag is facing to left and trust is facing to the right. We drew our own one on the computers. It took time drawing my plane. Did you know that a plane has two power sources? The wind going under the wing is going faster and the wind going under the wing is going slower.

My Wast To Wow

First we drawed the a space alien so we know what we a doing.
Next we saw a photo on the ipad and we did a different alien. We blowed up a balloon for a mask and we cut strippes of paper and if it takes to long we put some paper towel on so it dosen't take to long.
After we have finish our balloon we have to pva glue and we stick a clear pice of paper at the back and we paint them and when it was dryed we cut around it.
We used old jump jam suits and we wanted to have a eye on the jump jam suite.

My Flying Planes.

One day I made this paper plane years ago.

In 2012 I got blind.

I wish that I can see what is going on.

I closed my eyes and I painted a picture in my head.

I saw... 

My plane dived down to the ground.

It flies like the howling wind.

It's like the speed of a car.

It lands softly to the ground.

Look at it twirl and whirl.

It swoops up and around.

It's gliding though the air.

It twirls down to the ground like a falling leaf.

I opened my eyes and when I went to bed I couldn't stop talking about my paper plane, So I just dreamt about it.

My Aunty's Tangi

Last term my aunty past away on the first of July.

My Aunty's funeral was on Thursday and her tangi was on Friday.

I took the day off on Friday because it was my aunty's tangi.

That was the day we took her to the cemetery.

On Friday morning we went to my nana maria's house for breakfast.

My aunty that past away was my nana maria's daughter.

So for breakfast I had spaghetti on toast. It was yum!

Then we had a little play.

For lunch we had the biggest hangi I ever had.

And for dessert we had trifle and steam pudding and for the top of the steam pudding we had custard and cream.

Then we took my aunty to the cemetery and berried her where all of my whanau are.

Then for dinner we had left over lunch.

And we stayed the night,I was sleeping in my dads car because we stayed for my aunty who past away.

My Aunty is in a better place now she will live rest in peace.

My Mask

I enjoyed using the feathers because it is colourful and they look like birds feathers.
What I didn't like about doing my mask is people distracted me while I was doing my mask.

My Project Reflection

Our Class Assembly

Last week we had our class assembly.
I have enjoyed taking part as a host because this is my first time being a host.

My favourite part about the assembly was the brain break because it was fun. 

My Mask Reflection

We made mask to represent ourselves.
I put whiskers on my mask because it shows me that I love cats.
I put a flower around my eye because I love flowers.
I also put a kapa haka band on my mask because it shows me I love joining in with kapa haka.
I put jewels on my mask because I love jewels.
The flower was difficult because it was hard to paint and cut when it is wet.

I have enjoyed this activity because it was fun doing the paper mache.

The Giant Easter Egg

One cloudy afternoon I was steering out my window. Once I heard a knock. I creped down the stairs and slightly opened my door. At the door was some small Easter eggs that were for me and my friends. When I called my friends I asked there mums if that they can have a sleepover. They said yes. There names were Tegan,Chloe,Tyra-Leigh and last but not least Manaia. When they came over we heard a louder knock. We tip toed to the door and opened it. Once there was a... Giant Easter egg. It had a black wrapper around it, sharp teeth like sharks, red evil eyes like witches and a really ugly head. We shut the door and ran up the stairs and into my bedroom and shut the door. We went in my huge bed. I pulled my knees up to my chin and pulled the blanket over us. When my mum got home from work she got a shock. She went back in her car and she was driving away. Once when the giant egg got tired he went walking away and we went in our beds and fell asleep.

Growing Crystals

Yesterday we did a crystals experiment.
First we got a ice-block stick and a piece of string.
Next we tied a piece of string on the ice-block stick.
Then we sat at our tables and waited for our saturated solution of sugar and water.
After that my teacher Mrs Natusch poured the saturated solution into our cups and then we put our ice block stick into our cups.
Last of all we put our cups on the window sill.

I predict that the crystals would stick on the string.

How Caves Are Formed

Step 1- Rain soaks in the soil and goes though the cracks.

Step 2 - When it rains it makes puddles and goes though the cracks and it dissolves and makes carbon dioxide bubbles.

Step 3 - When it rains water goes through the cracks and makes tunnels.

Step 4 - When it rains more it makes bigger tunnels.

Step 5 - When it rains more they make stalactites and stalagmites and more tunnels.

He dosen't want to show his friends because he will think they will get jelus of him that he has a crystal but his friends dosen't.So he leaved it in a that yuky colouled brown dusty box.Then he put the box under his bed so when his friends come to his place he wont see it.In the morning paul thought he lost his box.

So he told his mum that he lost his box.Then his mum "said did you cheack under your bed".Then he went in his room and he cheacked under his bed and he found it.

We always take our dog for a walk in town, We decided to take her to the beach for a play. My dog splashed, splashed and splashed the icy cold water on me. I was wet everywhere! Then I went to get change in my spare cloths. My mum said "It is getting late and it is school tomorrow and I don’t want you to get late at your science, learning school" Then we went back to my dad’s red and white car and took my woolly, furry wet dog. I hope we return some time in the holidays.

Sock puppets

This morning me and Tegan made a sock puppet video of the Maori phrase of the week.

Swimming skills

The skill that is my favourite is back stroke, freestyle and gliding. The skill that I found tricky was the freestyle breathing. Back stroke is my favourite one because I can breath and it is hard work because you will learn how to do back stroke.

How to make a broom in Tonga

I used pic collage to retell the story in my book.

The haunted house

One night I saw this house, I step  on this pressure plate. It set me down this glowing cave I wonder where I went I saw something moving and it was the brightly coloured glow worms. When I was close to shore I step on another pressure plate I don't know where I ended up then I saw this door. I know where I am. I am in the house! It had different kind of bugs. Then I saw something floating in the air. I got scared and it was floating to me. I was looking out the window and there was no ladder or pressure plate. I think I am in a haunted house. I said HELP, HELP, HELP but the scary white ugly ghost stopped me from saying help. I got trapped, there was no where else to go. The ghost brought his new friends. I just remembered that my dad gave me his knife if I was in trouble. I used it to cut the tight rope. I quickly ran out the door and jumped as quickly as I can. But all the bugs and the ghost went out of the door and fly and climb down. I ran back home and tell my brother's that there monster's in the park.

On Tuesday before the leave I went down to say goodbye and I my nana said if I want to go down and I said yes. Then we went back home and get some clothes. Then we went back to Glenview. My nana who lives in Glenview came to palmerston north with her dog, Chloe. then we were leaving and I said goodbye to my dad, mum and also brother. For lunch we had fish 'n' chips and we went past, this mountain. It took a day to get to palmerston north. When we got to our nana's house we were ripping bread because she feeds the birds every morning. We fed the birds with bread and bird seeds. Then we went back to bed because it was to early and old. In the morning I had toast for breakfast. There is this holiday park and it is called the esplanade. It has got two trampling's a train, little kids playground, jungle house, flying fox, bird cages and last is the small pool. In the cages are kea, kaka, peacock, different ducks, chicks a rooster and plenty more.
