Good Bye

Today on Friday 20th of December me and my family had a BBQ for my grandparents because they are leaving tomorrow to the beautiful island of Samoa. We are really going to miss them, that's why I'am making a few paragraphs to say good bye just like my oldest sister Jay'lee leaving to start a new chapter in her life. 

We are all going to miss them and I hope they come back soon because they are really kind to us and it's almost Christmas. I hope they have a safe flight and have a great time. Everyone needs Christmas joy and mine is with my Family what would you do if your family wasn't with you to celebrate.

Netbook Reflection

There are many things I have learnt from my teacher like how to use my Chromebook and many more. He has taught me was how to measure the area of a triangle and a square. The significant thing I learnt was when I found out about Morse code and how people used it in the titanic many years ago. Then I found out how the would pronounce it and what it would look like it.

President Lisa George

In the U.S. President Lisa George was preparing for her meeting with Prince Adam. President Lisa was extremely annoying she would brag about anything great she did, almost everyone in the country hated her especially Basil Smith the biggest criminal in the entire country.

 When Prince Adam came Lisa started to brag and brag and brag until finally she stopped, Prince Adam pulled of his mask and Lisa gasped " Basil Smith I should of known it was you " yes it is me and I am here to send you away to a faraway country" " never in a million years she shouted out guards" no one came because Prince Adams guards had taken over the white house.

 Soon later Lisa was sent to another country where no one could find her. She tried and tried but nothing. Until one of the guards left the door open, it was time for her to escape but how she thought she saw three doors open and ran out there was a jet waiting for Basil but she was too late.

 When she got back to U.S. she had told the real Prince that an imposter had taken over his guards and was heading their way. They had gotten prepared for the battle with Basil, but no one came they waited and waited but nothing .Lisa heard a sound of a helicopter and in came through the window shooting everything but Lisa And Prince Adam managed to escape.

 Finally they had caught Basil and he went to jail for all the crime scenes that he performed. Lisa and Adam went and looked after their countries. Then everyone lived happily ever after.

My version of a tale.

A few years ago there was a man named Will he was looking after his granddaughter Jane ,she was very kind and sweet. One day her grandfather called her inside so that she could sell their dog Murph. While she was walking in the woods Murph went to the toilet then something caught her eye it was a boy, his name was Chad no one knew his last name because he was always disappearing. She had left Murph all alone but he had already run of.

 Jane forgot about selling Murph so she left Chad but then she heard him screaming and ran back, but he was gone. Then she heard a wolfs howl. So she ran as fast as could, until she stopped she could take no more. She felt like someone was watching her then someone came out of the trees yelling out Jane Jane Jane!!! it was grandpa Will she was so relieved to see him.

 The very next day Chad thought about him and Jane and decided that hey could be no more so he left, but all these years he was watching over her wishing one day they could be together once and for all.But over the years Jane had passed away so Chad had killed himself so he could be with the one person he loved.

Pizzas that desribe what Labour day is about.

Last week the year five and six Extension group learnt about Labour day. After we wrote down some things that we could make with the ingredients that we had to make pizza’s that describe what it is about.

Labour day was first celebrated in New Zealand 28th of October 1890. Labour day is a public holiday because of a carpenter named Samuel Parnells did not want to work more than eight hours a day. New Zealand is not the only country that celebrates Labour day there's countries like Canada,Bahamas,Australia,Jamaica,Trinidad and Tobago and also the United States Of America. 

There are so many countries that celebrate this day

Sheep vs Goats

Halloween Facts

Trick or treating is one of my favourite thing in the world, I like it because of the lollies people give out and the decoration, but what's the whole point of trick or treating. Here are some thing I have found out in my class.

 Halloween was first called all hallows day, then people started calling it hallows evening,soon after people started calling it hallows eve,to shorten it up people change it to Halloween. People had made a special food, that was called soul cakes, each cake represented a soul that had died in the past year and as the cake was eaten, it was believed that if the soul had gone to Purgatory, it was then released.

Some thing about Goats and Sheep

How many of you would rather have a sheep then a goat? I know I would because of its wool. There wool is nice and warm and it keeps you warm to. Sometimes sheep wool is ruff,muddy and to thick,that's the wool that some people don't like.

People like wool because it can be turned into a beanie, jumper or a pair of mittens. Goats are kind of like sheep but they're not, they have similarities like they both produce milk they both have horns and they’re both really woolly.

Maths work

Today my class had to solve three questions and answer it in two ways. To solve these questions I have used  different strategies like split the factors, add the parts, and switching them around. Here are three questions that I have solved.

 Sean has 267 credits in Maths Whizz at the start of the week and has 523 at the end of the week. How many credits did he earn over the week = 256

12 boxes each contain 29 toys.How many toys is that in total =348

3.675 + ___ = 7.4 = 3.725 

Wakaama Training

Yesterday afternoon my friends and I went to wakaama training. Wakaama is when you are paddling in a dragon boat. We have to pull, push and stay strong because there are a lot of angry waves willing to push us back. In our boat there is a group of six, we have Tai, Louis, Jordan, Aaron (who is our coach) , Steve and of course theres me. My role in the waka is the hip caller it’s when I call out “hip” and that tells the boys when to change sides. Then theres Tai he’s the one that steers our waka and after that theres Louis, Jordan, and Steve they are strong paddlers and help the steerer. Wakaama training is really tiring but it helps me stay strong and I enjoy paddling with my boys.

My writing test

Today my class and I went on a school field trip to a farm. Everyone was so excited including my best friends Hailey,Zane and Shyla. We had been best friends since kindergarten.The only thing everyone hated was when we had to go in the bus, because Miss Frog was always singing a very very long song that we thought was never ever going to stop until we arrived.

 As soon as we got there we saw all sorts of trees and farm animals it was beautiful then we split up in groups of four. While wandering through the farm we saw a huge barn yard with lots of animals like goats,cows, and hens it was amazing until Shyla heard a sound.

 The sound was coming from the barn Shyla said “Guys did you hear that” “Hear what” Zane replied ooooooooooooooo there it was again Hailey said “ it sounds like someone or something is in stress” so they went to check it out. When they were in the barn it was gone nothing was there except for blood stains all over the hay. They decided to be calm but then a man walk by giving them an angry look and yelled out “get out of my barn” thats when they scream and ran out as fast as their legs could take them.

 They went to the teacher but she was nowhere to be found, she was probably lost in the woods again. Until they finally found her and told her everything and she was shocked that they would do such thing so she called the police so they came as soon as possible.

 When the police arrived they found the man and but he explained everything The noise they heard was a cow giving birth “what about the blood stains on the hay” Hailey said that was also the cow giving birth. “What about you shouting at us” I said he said he was shouting at a rat who ate his cheese that was for breakfast. After he explained everything they apologized to him and said goodbye.

Me and my partner Jordan Alofi came first and held the school record.We held a time of 10 minutes and 39 seconds. It was really fun coming first.

On Saturday afternoon the John family were packed and ready for their vacation to Australia. Stacey who is the John' familys only daughter didn’t want to go because she got invited to Erika Woods birthday party, Erika is the most popular girl in school and Stacey wanted to be just like her. Soon after they were on their way to the airport.

When they arrived at the airport a family had walk by and had the same bags as the John Family. The father was answering a phone call when they took the wrong bags and went to their flight. Mr John was very upset because he didn’t know who took them so they raced out to the front of the airport.

They ask everyone around but they had no luck until Stacey saw Jack Stewart, her best friend from school she ran up to him and said ”what are you doing here” Jack replied “I’m back from my vacation but we lost our luggage” Stacey then said "really, we lost ours to!"  Stacey then thought about it and yelled out "hey what kind of suitcase was it? " Jack yelled back " a red and black one” she replied " I have your suitcase here!" Jack was so happy that his bags had been found.

After their suitcases were back to the right owners they went to their flights and the John Family flew to Australia and the Stewart family returned home.
