lunch time

2007-11-25T19:29:00.000-08:00

At lunch time we normaly play forty- four home. At after school care we also play bus left and some times tiggy on the fort. This is how you play bus left , you have a seat as a bus and everyone sits on the seat waiting for there turn. then someone is it and they face the other way while someone runs. You have to try not to let the peeson who is it see you run. If they see you they can run after you. The other people on the bus can't say anything. You have to run a fare distance before you can run back. when you reach the bus you have sit down on the bus and say bus left that means they can't get you. then it's the other persons turn. If the person who is it tags you then you can tag them back. How you play tiggy on the fort is just like tiggy but on the fort and how we play it is that you can't touch sand which is quite easy with our fort. In this game you can also get the butcher back and if you touch sand you're it. that's how we normaly play it. Or you can play it by touching sand. Forty-four home is just like block 123.

The Orientation I Wrote

2007-11-20T17:03:00.000-08:00

One Scary Night

One dark gloomy night when the wolves howl, I was fast asleep when suddenly the windows cracked and flew open. I woke up and I think there was somthing in my room. Something misty and white.

I was right there was something misty and white in my room. I ran to the broken window and peared out into the night sky. I looked down and saw the grave up on the hill and to my surprise it wasn't there.

One group is a advanced group and the otherone is not an advanced group. I am inthe advanced group. I enjoy swimming although it getstiring sometimes and I'm looking forward to the carnival. In the swimming carnival you can either swim freestyle, backstroke, breathstroke or butterfly. I'm swimming freestyle only.

What We Have Done In Mini Vinnies This Year

2007-11-15T16:59:00.000-08:00

I am part o f the mini vinniesteam. We are making cards and sending presents in boxes to the people who can't afford to presents. Every chritmas it's not a happy time for some people because it's tough for people who can't afford to buy food or presents. We are making paper bags and putting lollies in them for the homeless people. The rosies van goes round every christmas and give them something special like red rooster and a cup of coffee. Then once they're finished they give them a box to each family so they can have there own celebration. Also this year we have made teddy bears, pillows, gods eyes and colouring books. It has been fun working in mini vinnies and I hope we do it again next year.

lunch

2007-11-08T16:45:00.000-08:00

In our school we take a packed lunch which is food that you take from home to eat at school and you keep it in a lunch box. On Mondays and Thursdays there is a thing called tuckshop, where you can order hot food for 1st break. You can also order cakes and slices in 2nd break. In each break on a tuckshop day you can order a drink and in 2nd break you can get a iceblock but of course with all of this you have to pay. For tuckshop I usually have a frozen yoghurt.

My Poem no.2

2007-11-04T17:00:00.000-08:00

For want of a computer the internet was lost.

For want of the internet the blogs were lost.

For want of the blogs the widgets were lost.

For want of the widgets the fun was lost.

For want of the fun the people were lost.

For want of people the world was lost.

And all the want for a computer.

Aunty Delmae

2007-10-18T20:19:00.000-07:00

On the of October Aunty Delma came to talk to us about the famouse song she sings and at the end she sang the song twice. The first time she sung it we just listened to it the second time we thought of an image that represents the song and this image here is what I drew. Aunty Delma is our adopted elder.

My Poem

2007-10-11T17:26:00.000-07:00

This is the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

This is the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

This is the ocean that surrounds the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

These are the contirnents that sit on the ocean that surrounds the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

These are the countries that are inside the conirnents that sit on the ocean that surrounds the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

These are the states that are divided up in the countries that are inside the contirnents that sit on the ocean that surrounds the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

These are the trees and plants that grow in the states that are divided up in the countries that are inside the contirnents that sit on the ocean that surrounds the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

These are the animals that eat the trees and plants that grow in the states that are divided up in the countries that are inside the contirnents that sit on the ocean that surrounds the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

These are the people that look after the animals that eats the trees and plants that grow in the states that are divided up in the countries that are inside the contirnents that sits on the ocean that surrounds the land that's part of the earth that floats in the Solar System that we need.

2007-10-10T17:47:00.000-07:00

Today in maths I was a self directed learner when I told the class what I learnt in maths today. I said I learnt how to add up quickly in stages.

2007-09-09T18:05:00.000-07:00

Today a artist called Kim came to our school to show us her art work. My favourite painting was the really big one because it showed alot of sea creatures. I think her work is quite amazing. She showed us how she paints it and that she blends the colours. I like it how she traises around everthing she paints with gold paint. I also really like the books she does as well as her paintings. I didn't know that one of her books were based on polluion and oil being spilt in the ocean that recks everything and also scoober divers. My favourite book the she wrote would have to be
" The 12 Days of Christmas". I find it really interesting that all her books and paintings are of the ocean.

Frida By: Jonah Winter

2007-08-29T18:27:00.000-07:00

This book is about a girl called Frida who interests herself with painting when she is ill. I really like the authors illustrations. In this book the author has shown Frida all through her life. I think this book is sad because of all the times Frida has been in hospital.

What We're Doing For The Art Show

2007-08-27T19:52:00.000-07:00

For the art show our class are painting pots. We got to choose what to paint on it. I chose to paint the night sky on my pot. At the art show our parents get to buy our art work. Here are some of our pots but mines not on there.

2007-08-21T16:47:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I reflected on what I did with the coin tossing. This is what I wrote. To collect our data we wrote down either heads or tails. Then at the end we counted them up and found out that we got more heads than tails. I think next time we could of used a quicker way.

Antarctica

2007-08-20T20:35:00.000-07:00

This term our class is learning about Antarctica. My favourite animal in Antarctica are penguins because they have fur and they're cute. I think it their life.

What We Did In Maths Today

2007-08-19T18:04:00.000-07:00

In maths today we had to do an experiment with a coin. We were in partners I was partners with Keirilyn.What we had to do was to flip the coin 100 times and record whether it landed on heads or tails. I think that it would depend on how you flipped it. We had to decide how we would represent our data. Me and Keirilyn decided to present our data in a graph.

2007-08-16T17:27:00.000-07:00

I am writing my report about the beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. I am finding this topic very interesting. I would like to find out why the ancient Egyptians believed in the Afterlife.
My four topics are:
1.Magic in ancient Egypt
2.Spirits they believed in.
3.The Afterlife
4.Gods and Goddesses

My Scary Fairy Godmother by: Rose Impey

2007-08-13T20:07:00.000-07:00

I think this book is really good. I think Izzy (Bella) is selfish. If I was Izzy (Bella) I would choose Hayley as my best friend instead of Cassie. I think it would be annoying if people started copying what I wore. I think Izzy (Bella) should start thinking about her sick mum instead of herself.

Woolvs In The Sitee by: Anne Spudvilas

2007-08-13T18:02:00.000-07:00

In reading block today my group read with Mrs J " Woolvs In The Sitee" .We talked about the pictures and the colours the author published. I don't know why the boy is scared to go outside. I don't what he means when the boy says that he used to have a family. I think the boy hasn't gone to school because he can't spell properly. I think its hard to read his writing because you don't know what he is trying to say. I think it's a hard story to understand because you don't really know whats happening.

The true story of the three little pigs by: Jon Scieszka

2007-08-12T18:05:00.000-07:00

The main character in this book is the wolf. The wolf is telling the story. I think the author of this book is really clever. I think the wolf is kind and caring. I wouldn't like to be the wolf because everyone thinks your the bad guy.

image of God

2007-08-09T20:15:00.000-07:00

Today I had to choose a image of God from some readings. I had a pyramid base and in the first triangle I had to write our image. In the second triangle I had to write describing words that match our image. In the middle triangle I drawed my image and in the last triangle I had to describe my image with colours. You're probably wandering what image I chose well the image I choose of God was a burning bush.

religon

2007-08-09T18:07:00.000-07:00

In religion on Wednesday we had to draw our image of God. I drew God kind of as a shepherd because thats what I think of when people say the word God.

Saftey House

2007-08-07T21:36:00.000-07:00

This year our class has become safety house ambassadors.Our job is to teach students in our school (apart from year 7) how to keep themselves safe in difficult situations. We also teach the little kids the three questions which are:

* Do my parents Know where I am?

* Do I feel safe with this person?

* Can I get help if I need it?

In the library todayI found a new book called "Stories To Eat With A Blood Plum".

Grandparents Day

2007-07-26T19:07:00.000-07:00

On Thursday was grandparents day. My grandma's couldn't come this year even though only one comes because the other one lives in Rocky. So I got to help with the singing. The day was spilt up into two parts. Some grandparents came at 9:00 a.m and some came at 11:00 .There was a concert at the end of each part.

The Ned Show

2007-07-24T21:16:00.000-07:00

This morning at assembly we saw "The Ned Show". The person who did it was called Tim. I think he's clever with all his yoyo tricks. I really liked the story he told about Ned with the yoyo.

Word wall words for this week

2007-07-18T16:25:00.003-07:00

Our word wall words for this week are also, always, probably, almost and we're. To help us learn our word wall words we use chants such as robot and mouse talk. We also play games to like wack, don't break the ice and evaporation.

Sport Carnival

2007-07-18T16:25:00.001-07:00

On friday last week was our sport carnival. We have three house colours blue, gold and red. I'm in red and we won. I competed in the 200 mertre run and came 2nd , which is my best so far. We had ball games including zig zag and leader ball . I had great fun.

2007-07-17T17:55:00.000-07:00

In class we are reading a book called "The Dragon Keeper"by Carole Wilkinson. My favourite character is Danzi because he can talk. My favourite bit of the story so far is when they were behind a rock and they saw the dragon keeper looking for them. Sometimes this story gets a bit boring but other than that it's really good.

2007-07-17T17:21:00.000-07:00

In Numeracy block yesterday I learnt how to use a protractor. I also learnt about angles and the different types of angles. We did an activity in our go maths books. I think I did all right with it.

Stories To Eat With A Watermelon

2007-07-15T18:02:00.000-07:00

Stories To Eat With A Watermelon By: Jackie French

I think this book is weird. The story I read in the book was called "The Ghostly Knight". But I think I'll find out later though. I wonder if the author has written any other books like it such as "Stories to Eat With a Pineapple.

Ancient Egypt Performance

2007-06-21T18:59:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday night the 19 of June our class 6J did a performance on Ancient Egypt. We weren't the only class performing, the year seven classes also did a performance. One of the year seven classes did Ancient Rome and the other one did Ancient Greece.

What our class had to do on the night was to perform a script we had each written and memorised about an Ancient Egypt person. Here are some of the ideas we had:Tomb robber, God or goddess, Queens, children, baker,woman.

On the night our adudience were our parents.Also there were Mrs Strahan and Mrs O'brien.

That's me in the picture!.

2007-01-01T17:28:00.000-08:00

My Response
When I was there, everyone was very reverent. When people spoke, all the children were very quiet and were listening. I really like the band because they played really nicely. I also like the choir who sang. My eyes were stuck to them. I don't think most of the children knew the New Zealand National Anthem. I really the poems that were read. We were there to reflect and respect. When I went into the Hall of Remembrance I couldn't believe how many battalions there were. I think Anzac Day is an important day where we remember those who save our country. I Really enjoyed the ceremony.

2006-08-16T20:32:00.000-07:00

My biography is going to be about Corporal Phillip Davey.I chose this man because when we read about Victoria Crosses awarded in World War 1, he was the man I was given to read about and report on to the class.Phillip had two brothers who also went to war.
