Sports camp

Sports camp last year was one of the best experiences I have ever had. But this year might be completely different. I expect to meet a lot of new people this year who are hopefully kind. I also expect my school to go on the water slide this year because we didn't go on it last year (please). But one thing I'm really excited about is leaving my family when I go to Sports Camp. There are 31 sports codes which are:

• Basketball Rugby

• Volleyball Touch
• Indoor soccer Triathlon
• Indoor hockey Cross country
• Darts Athletics
• Bowls Kayaking
• Tennis Cage soccer
• Croquet Chess
• Golf Draughts
• Softball Scramball
• Swimming Wallball
• Cheer Night Table tennis
• Outdoor hockey Outdoor soccer

• Petanque Swimming
• Archery Shooting...

Look out for my next blog when I will let you know how we did :-)

Picture Writing

Our writing for this week was about describing the emotions and feelings of a picture.

Its just like putting your feet into their shoes. Here is a few words I thought of to describe the picture above.

• Terrified
• Homesick
• Alarmed
• Prepared
• Impatient

I was really interested in this weeks writing because it gave myself and my class a chance to stop and think about the engaging words we could think of.

Reflection 2014

This year has been exceptionally fun and also crazy because I experienced Sports camp, participated in the Netball and also won the speeches🎵. Heres my memories of 2014.

Sports camp, this is one of the most fun experiences I had because I went to sports camp at Yr 6. It was fun but also busy because we couldn't waste time and had to be at the games on time. We had 7 1st Trophys and 6 Runner ups.

Another time was the Netball tournament, this was the first sport I participated in this year. We won our category for the Yr 6 team and the Yr7 and 8s came Runners up. This was also a fun experience because I enjoyed my time in a sports team.

These are my bestest memories of 2014

Today I shared an ebook with Milika and Michele. My ebook was about Europeans migrating into New Zealand. I had alot of fun reading and teaching them about the Europeans and their history. Milika and Michele were very good at reading the hard words.

Dragon Attack

It was a ordinary day, children playing in the park, people feeding the ducks. Just what typical people would do on a Sunday afternoon. Suddenly a scary looking dragon appeared out of no where. Its eyes were flaming red. It had flames as red as blood and wings as green as grass. Everything in its path was wiped out by the ferocious dragon. Its tail was whacking everything at the back of it. It roared and fire came out of its nostrils. Everyone was terrified.

The Dragon breathed fire onto the wooden houses and they burned down in flames causing black smoke to roam around the city. Firefighters, police and even the army were alerted to come down and take the foul beast down.

They shot it with gun powered rockets. Blood started to pour out of his hand causing him to die. To this day, the dragon’s carcass is displayed in the  Auckland Museum.

The Lost Children

The Lost Children

One hot Spring day the Hamilton family were planning to stay the night in the Misty Creek forest In Australia. So they packed their bags and stored them away in the car. The next day John, Bethany and Steven were getting ready to take off.

“ Come on kids your father wants to get a move on ” their mother shouted.

5 minutes later the three of them were ready to go. They hopped in the car and drove off with no care in the world.

“ The drive is going to take three hours “ said Dad.

Two hours later and the kids have gotten so bored that they fell asleep in the car.

Finally they had arrived at the Misty Creek forest. It was very quiet with no sound at all. There was not even a bird chirping in the air. It was getting night therefore

they grabbed their sleeping bags and drifted along to sleep. The next morning their mother got up bright and early and fried some eggs for breakfast.

“ Delicious Mom “ said Steven.

The kids were very bored with nothing to do. They didn't bring anything to play with.

“ Mom can we go for a hike the three of us? “ asked Bethany softly.

“ We'll as long as you come back by four o’clock “

“ Yes! “ shouted Bethany.

They packed some food and water in a bag and also some binoculars.

“ Bye kids be safe “ called out their mother.

There were two roads, one that leaded to the Misty Creek beach and also one that lead to the forest. They went on the forest path. 2 hours later it was 3:00 the kids didn't know where they were. The three of them kept on walking hoping that it would lead them back to the campsite. It was 5:00 and their mother was getting worried.

“ Are you sure the kids are alright? “

“ I'm positive “ replied the father

It was 6:00 and the kids still hadn't come home. So their mum called the police.

The kids were very scared and it was becoming dark too.

It was 7:00 and the kids made themselves a little camp out. They only had a little bit of supplies left. The police saw a sparkling light coming from a mile away.

“ I’ve found the kids “ yelped the police man. He started to run as fast as a Leopard to them  just incase one of them was hurt. The police man rang the parents.

“ We have found your kids! “ He shouted.

He grabbed some towels and wrapped them around them. They were all happy to see

Papas Pear Saga

Papas Pear Saga is a game pears that are shaped like balls and you have to get them in the bucket. When the bucket changes colour that means that you have got it in the bucket. You have to throw your ball in any direction and then watch as the pear grabs bonuses and prizes. When you have completed the level you get extra points.

You have to go threw all the obstacles to get to the bucket.
This game is very fun and I like it.

Conservation

All over the world animals are becoming endangered. That is because people are killing the animals and using them for goods. That means there will come a time where there would be no more animals left in the world and that is where conservation comes in.

Conservation means to protect endangered plant and animal species and their habitats. Among the goals of wildlife conservation is to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness lands to human.

Secondly if we don't look after Nature and its wildlife nothing in the world would be alive. Because of that there is a life form. For instance, plants produce the oxygen that we need to breathe. The life of a plant relies on pollen carried by insects and minerals found in animal carcasses. In other words, the earth has many life forms whose lives depend on one another. This is called biodiversity. When an animal or other life form becomes extinct, it breaks its link with other life forms, and threatens our lives as well.

Learning about fractions

I have been learning about fractions.Today we learnt how to draw fractions of shapes in the drawing program. Sometimes it was hard getting all the fractions the same size

Jump Rope at GI

Weeks ago we have been learning our new skipping routine for this year. We have been doing our music, our positions, the things we are going to do and so much more stuff had to be done. We have been waiting for this very special day to come. That day was when we would go into the GI shopping  center and show our skipping routine to the community. When had to walk to GI. It was a very ugly day. The grey clouds were covering the Sun and it was very windy. When we were walking into the GI centre I saw my uncle there standing next to some tree. He gave me five dollar note to put inside the the bucket to raise some money for the heart foundation. Each class was called up one by one to put their money into the bucket. I dropped my money and the five dollar note flew into the bucket. Mr Naidoo greeted the parents and gave the mike to Britney. Britney introduced Room 1 to come in the centre and show their routine. Next up was my class.
“ And here comes Room 9”.
.Everyone was cheering with joy. The music started and we began to jump. First we did side  to side and then we moved onto the slides and finally we did basic jump. After the basic jump we went into partners and we did front to back and side to side. The music changed and we grabbed the long rope and Melissa and  Asiana started to jump inside. The Music changed and Moko jumped in while the girls were doing double unders. Next Siua jumped in and did some push ups. Mr Ramkolowan was taking pictures and was filming us while we were skipping. After that we grabbed our ropes and made a cross. We jumped threw each rope two times and then we got into our clock and sat down. We waved our hands like an hour hand and a minute hand. And then the music stopped. We held our positions and ran back to our spot. It was really fun and I enjoyed skipping.

The Artist who died

The Artist who died

Boom! as another brick fell upon the great pyramid of Giza. It was mid summer and we were getting ready for the festival. It was the annual celebration to celebrate the beginning of Tutankhamen becoming Pharaoh Tutankhamen. Everybody danced around filled with joy. But not my father. He was holding some programs for people

to come in and have some art lessons. He was the most greatest artist of all throughout Egypt. Every single person in Egypt was fascinated by his art work.

But then the music stopped, everyone was confused and didn't know what was happening. They thought there was going to be a royal announcement. But no they were wrong.

There were people streaming through the gates armed with arrows and shields. The people of egypt were frightened and started to run all over the place. People were screaming and shouting with fear. They got their barrinarrows and started to shoot the people. No one knew why they were doing this. Most of the kids were were hiding in barrels and finding little spots to hide inside.

And then an arrow went straight inside my father. “ Noooo I cried “. and then Tutankhamen was shot. The people started to cry and yell “ What have we done to deserve this “. As soon as they started crying they left.

For days people have been crying for my father the great artist and also for Tutankhamun. But then I said “ I will take my fathers place “ I said proudly. But no one cared they prayed to Amon and moaned. The next day we were getting ready to put the bodys in the tomb but first we had to embalm them. The high priest was getting ready for the embalming. He got his tools and he began. When the high priest was done he stuffed them with cotton and sowed their body up.

Their were ready to put them into their tombs. “ Wait “I shouted. No one has drawn anything on the tomb. “ Thats right said the high priest . No one has prepared the tombs for Tutankhamun and the great Artist” . Everyone was shocked. “He was the only artist in all of Egypt. But who would do the job”. “ I will “. “ Yes he should do it he is really talented and he has got some really good skills”. Called out the lady. So I got ready and I started to decorate the tombs. I was finished and I looked and I said “what a amazing art”. I recon my father is smiling at me right now”. When I got home I was happy that The people loved my artwork and so did I.

Taekwondo

Taekwondo

Taekwondo is a mixed martial art and it is full of fun. At my school a very special lady came in to teach us about taekwondo. I've heard of the name before but never knew what it meant. In the first lesson we sat down on the field and she introduced herself. Her name was Mrs Robinson. She asked if we could stand up and say the oath.

“I shall observe the tenets of Taekwondo.

I shall respect the instructor and seniors.

I shall never misuse Taekwondo.

I shall be a champion of freedom and justice.

I shall build a more peaceful world.”

After the oath we learnt a few punches and one kick. 

The next week she told us about the tenets of taekwondo.

They were:

[ Courtesy

[ Integrity

[ Perseverance

[ Self Control

[ Indomitable Spirit 

.We practiced the punches that we were taught and the kick.

The following week she talked to us about the belts. There is a white belt, a yellow belt, a green belt, a blue belt, a red belt and a black belt. On that week she taught us how to do a front snap kick. In the last week we had to break a board ourselves. It was really hard but then SNAP the board broke. I was really happy because it was so much fun and I hope Mrs Robinson will come back again.
