Our trip to Pak'nSave E.W.

One day on a school day I went on a trip to Pak'nSave as our inquiry is about food nutrience. We went there by bus and went into the super market. We wrote down all of the healthy foods and did a rainbow of food on our nutrience sheet. When our class (room 22 ) was going back to the bus, it broke down so we waited for a not broken down bus. In the meantime we sang " We are stranded on this bus on this bus on this bus!" countless times. When we were singing I was silently laughing. But suddenly I could not take any more. I burst out laughing. Then the sleek new bus came and the broken down bus driver drove us back to school.( plus we missed morning tea!)

Term One Reflection NE

My Term One Memories
In term one we went to Pack ‘n’ Save for a class trip.
At Pack ‘n’ Save we learnt about healthy eating.
While we were learning about healthy eating I noticed that the things I like the best are unhealthy, like chocolate and chips.
When we went to Pack ‘n’ Save we were given a voucher for $60 so we were able to make a healthy lunch at school, we had smoothes with berries in, sushi and nice yummy wraps!

In maths this year I have improved enough to move up two classes, I am really proud of what I have done!

When the year 5s went on camp to the Marae and sonshine ranch I stayed in Miss Pillay’s class for two days. In Miss Pillay’s class we learnt about the rain forest and how it makes oxygen. If we keep on cutting
Down the trees there will be no more rain forest to make the oxygen we breathe!

Term 1 reflection E.W 6

This term in Room 22 I have made a lot of new friends. The thing that I have loved is ...writing little poems. When we had our heathy lunch the wraps were sooooooo good. I have really enjoyed maths in Room 15 this term. I cannot wait till next term!!!

Eating fishnchips

My mouth waters from the smell of lovely fishnchips I hold my self back. Finally I attack . The chips shriek HELP. I crunched, the potato squeezed through my mouth. It was as hot as an oven on high. I had a fish. It crunched like at the car crushers. The fish swam down my throat.

On Monday 5th March 2012, the Year 5's went on camp to a marae.  They said a speech in Maori.  We sang our school song.  They sang a song as well and the a man came up and said it all in English.  We then had morning tea and after that we did a poi, sticks, fried bread and flax.  We than had another talk about the marae, and then had lunch.  We had a tour arount the marae and the hangi pit.  We then did tai chei and zumba.  We went to the field for one hourm then had the hangi.  I sort of like it but it but that's my opinion.  Dessert was apple pie with custar.  It was yum.  We did skits and then got ready for bed.
 




 

Swimming 2012 JWM

At swimming its super duper epic fun. Somtimes it's freezing like when you're in a big fridge plus its outdoor which is even more awesome.


There is a game called Whirlpool.  It's the best game I have ever played. The game is like split into two groups,then you go one way around then about ten minutes you go the other way around.

swimming sports AR

On the 28 of February the people who was good at swimming went to the swimming sports.
A lot of my friends are in the swimming sports like Connor and Josh . They did
back stroke, free style and more things. They were exellent.  So many parents came.
If you come first place you got a coloured stick and second you got a different coloured stick
and third place you got another coloured stick. I saw Connor racing and he came first.
He always comes first. Last year he bet Mr K and everyone else. I wish Iwas good at swimming.

Sonshine Rance GB

On Tuesday 7 March, we went by bus to Sonshine Ranch. to experience the outdoors.  First we went to the small animals.  I fed grass to the rabbits and almost got bucked by the mountain goats. 

Suddenly some horses emerged from the green bushes.  People on the horses started waving to us.  So we starteded to fuoolow them back to the stable.  We got in line to get our helmet.  Finally they gave us our horses.  I think I got the biggest horst in the pack.  When I got on it, I was scared stiff but when he started moving I thought it wasn't so scary after all.

Sonshine Ranch JB

Giddy up! I loved the great ponys I rode one called Teddy he was really well behaved.  It was the first time in my life that I rode a horse. All the horses kept farting and pooping. At first I was petrified.  It was freaky but after a while it was awesomely fun.  We rod lapts of a track at the beginning, then we went on the outside track.   It was so fun.  We passed trees, lots of trees.  it was a stone path.  It must of hurt the horses hooves but its feet are so strong.  After that we galloped back, and went around twice more and held our horses and hopped off and said bye, and passed them onto another child.

Year 5 camp, A.M

On the 6th Tuesday 2012 all the Year 5's went to Sonshine Ranch. It took about 10 minutes to get there from the marae. When we got there, we got split up into groups A and B. I was in Group A. We got to go horse riding and feed the bunny rabbits and touch the goats. Half of Group A went to feed the pets. The others went horse riding. I went feeding the pets first. I got to go and pat the bunny rabbits. I got to hold the bunny. It was white and so cute. I got the black one and the grey one too.

Once we did that the other group came. First we went to get our helmets. My size was 54 and my horse was called Lina. She was cute. We went around in a circle 5 times, and then 4 times zig zagging around the poles.

After that we went on the track. We had to lean forward when going up the hill and lean back if we were going down.

Swimming Sports 2012

At the 28 of February 2012 it was a HOT day and it was also swimming sports.
I was really nervous because I was particapating in freestyle, breastroke and backstroke.
First eight year old girls, eight year old boys, then nine year old girls.
My turn to race. Freestyle. As Mr.K claps the clapper I dive in. One,two,three strokes.As I lift my head to breathe, I could hear people shouting HILLARY! HILLARY! HILLARY! finally I finished.
The same happened with backstroke and breastroke.
After all that I felt really tired. But that was worth it because we get FREE TIME in the pool.

swimming sports 2012 SM

On the 28 February 2012 I watched the swimming sports. I saw all the people who made it in the finals racing. I was cheering for my house Batten . They were doing freestyles/back stroke breast stroke .I enjoyed watching them.  Some were swimming fast and kicking hard. I saw long arms go up in the air and down in the water while doing freestyle .Even though I didn't make it in the finals I still had fun watching.



Swimming sports NE



On the 28th of February it was a hot day and people were lined up for swimming sports the first was freestyle.

Ready steady ''CLAP''went Mr K as he clapped the clapper.

The clapper was as strong as the sun shining brightly.

Everyone in the first row went, ''SPLASH''!As the people went into the water, it splashed everywhere!

Even some of the nice parents got wet!

Yeah I made it to the end and luckily I came second.
After morning tea. we did breaststroke.

I came first but the sad thing is that I broke the water twice, and in this school we are not allowed so we are disqualified.

So for the rest of the day all I did was sit in the hot sun for there was nothing else to do!

Horse Riding EW

I went camping on Monday the 5th and Tuesday the 6th of March. The thing that I loved most was horse riding! I rode a horse named Mini Monty. Monty was the smallest pony because it was a Shetland pony. We rode around in circles at first and then we went for a ride with the horses.
Monty was a rascal! She liked to go her own way. The people who were in charge of the horses put them in a special order so they would not fight. The walk was awesome! After the walk we went around in a circle twice and lined them up against the wall. Then we got off the horses backs. We walked away as soon as the thirteen people from group A touched the ground with their feet.


swimming sports LT

At swimming sports there were my friends Josh, Connor,Josh T, and Jordan at the shade.  I was shouting for Batten to win and it was a great swimming sport's day.  People were even screaming. It was so exciting I was cheering, "Go Batten, yeah !"  If I was in the swimming sports I would try to win all my races.  It looks so hard to get into the swimming sports , but all you need to do is swim the whole length of a pool to get in. The swimming sports looked so fun and exciting.

Ice-Cream

As I devour the taste of vanilla ice-cream, a smile spreads across my face like spreading nutella across a sandwich.The ice-cream melts in my mouth and it feels disgusting but delicious. As I swallow the ice-cream I get a brain freeze but it is all worth it.




I get the feeling that I am diving into complete darkness.




As soon as the feeling goes away, I take another spoonful.




And another until the bowl is empty.


Ice-cream is delicous.






















A day at the beach.

Me and my family went to a beach last month. It was hot as a oven that day.
It was so HOT that Luke almost turned into SAND!

Mum almost into jelly and Dad into water.

I was about to be a cake and the family too!
We went across a bridge over the blue sea.
The bridge went to Half Moon Bay but it was not too long.

We went to get two ice-creams from the shop and we went home.

Macaroni Cheese

Eating mac and cheese mac.  It is very cheesey when I eat it. It feels like a snake slithering down my throat.

The old spooky house

The was this house in the neighbourhood. No one would dare go near go near it. No one lived in it.  It was  old and rusty. It had broken windows and lots of spider webs. They're are bats hanging on the edge of the house. No one knew were the house came from. It also had a sign on top of the house saying Beware .

slushie M.D.K

I was sitting down slowly slurping my Slushie. I could taste the amazing flavour. The flavour


was bursting into my mouth. Suddenly oh no BRAIN FREEZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


My mouth was as cold as a ice block in a freezer. Finally the annoying


brain freeze stopped. It only lasts around a minute but it sure


is extremely cold when you get a brain freeze! Now all


the joyful juice is making my lips ruby red. I only


had a little bit of ice left over. So I ate it


very slowly savouring the lovely


flavour of a really


Rasberry


Slushie.

Eating Slushy

Last year at Christmas in 2011 I got a machine that makes dream slushy. When we made it we put extra ice with coke a cola and it was delicious. I took a small sip as the coke dived into my mouth like a waterfall. The little frozen ice swimming along.When I was finished I asked for  adream freeze.Well , asI was waiting I  thought how yum and cold it is. I started drooling like a bulldog.When I got it I took a sip the ice melted as it met my mouth.When I took another sip I got a brain Freeze feeling like I was a popsical. It was a delicious frozen dreamland.

Walking on the Beach EW

When it is nice and sunny, we go to the beach and walk the dog and Cory my 14 year old brother who is sometimes mean to me went and had a dip in the water. We go and then get four ice-creams for Cory and my mum and Matt and me from the shop and then we eat it on the beach. I walk along the beach and get some beautiful shells along the way.
All that I can see is people fishing at 90 Mile Beach. Then when I walk back with Razz my dog that is very cute and he is about 8 months old. Then we are taking in the line and we can see is fish jumping up and down.
We would always dig our little toes in the brown sand. Cory and Razz run all the way up to the sand dunes and then jump and fall over at the bottom, and then I started laughing at Cory and Razz
Then it was time to go back to the bach up on the hills.

Candy Land R.L

This COLURFUL place made out of candy is full of rainbow colurs


like:red,green,blue,pink,orange,yellow,purple & violet. It's a splendid place full of candy where


there are NO spiders , NO snakes & NO scorpions. You can eat anything your heart desires even the toilet [which you probably won't eat]


There is even a lolly castle surrounded by floating JELLY beans.




Its a FANTASTIC place to be ! ! !

beautiful spring morning

On a beautiful spring morning, I crossed a freezing cold shallow lake to get to the soft sandy beach. I hiked along the beach as creative shells wash up on the shore. While the tides went in and out around my feet. A boogie boarder rode the laughing and lonely waves

The Haunted House

One night at 12.oo o'clock a little boy sneaked out of his parents house and walked down his street. Then he saw the very old, scary ,spooky house that lived two house's down from his parents house. He took one step up the wooden stairs and took a peek through the door. The next day he went back to his parents house and back to the hanted house.T hen all of a sudden a vampire popped out from the front door and took one bite and killed the boy. Oh DEAR!!!!!!

first day of school

I was walking through the bumbly grey path. The gentle wind pushes the brown yellow onto the lime green grass. It's fantastic go to Botany DowSchool! I walked through the bumble yellow class rooms. I walked to paper white door. I saw the outstanding glowing class room. Room 22. It had raspberry carpet, and fancy red and black tables. The best of all there is a bright yellow clock bay. The fully decoraded class room is as fascinating as blocks of gold. The first day of school went as quick as a blink of an eye.


The Walk in the Forest

It is an Autumn day. The long skinny trees are slowly moving side to side. The yellow and pink leaves are getting old and dropping down into the blue deep dark river. The big mud puddles are getting bigger and bigger.


That bushy bush is and darker and darker. Insects are flying around. It is so silent all I hear in my ears are birds singing with their soft voices. As I come out of that bushy bush I feel so happy to be in such a peaceful place.

Stroll in the Park ajk

It was a sunny Sunday morning so I went to the park to go for a little walk in the park so I began to walk. In the park I saw a man walking his dog.
A few steps away there was a playground. On the playground there was a mum pushing her baby on the swing. Then I saw some boys playing rugby. My brother was playing with his dog Jimmy. Jimmy was fast as Flash Gordon until his leg injury. Then I got to the end of my walk. See you next time, byebye.

Eating noodles

I had my fork ready to twirl the noodles on the fork that I was holding. The fork was glinting like pure shimmering shiny silver . I put my fork into the brown wooden bowl. As I sucked the noodles into my mouth, soup sprayed my silky white dress like a sprinkler. It was flaming hot, so I let go of my fork and ran to my room .After a minute I came back into the living and started eating again . This time I made sure there was some space between the table and myself. When I had sucked it again, the hot lovely smell covered my mouth , warming my whole body. Then I tasted the soup. The soup was lovely ! It also warmed my body too! Soon enough the bowl was empty and I was full. Then I said '' That was the best !''
