Leavers Assembly

Wow! today blew me away with our practice of kapa haka, Eligha was so loud and so was everybody else. I was in the front row with Keightleigh, Cole, Caleb, Eligha, Jake and Tarran for the boys. For our leavers assembly we did our haka then we did a song. After that we all go up to the hall and sing the hall of fame. I think we need a little bit practice for singing the hall of fame but other than that were great. I cant wait until friday for the item.

Road Patrol Movie

Wow! The movie for the road patrol people was great. It was called Madagasga 3. It was so cool there was so much action and adventure. We got an ice cream each. It was pretty ice solid, I was stuck sitting around in between two girls from St Marcelin, it was awful. I ate my ice cream before the movie even started. I got brain freeze really bad. Marty, Gloria, Melmon and Alex had to pretend they were circus acts because they needed to get away from Du Bwa the evil exterminator. After the movie all I could here was thumping because their was 252 people at the movies. They were running and bowling people over it was like a bunch of rhinos tumbling people over.

Todays Challege

Today Mrs Larsen gave us a challege to find what a semi colon is used for. You use a colon when you are about to make a list in the middle of writing or you can use it as a list of items or an explantion. Semicolon's are used to show a major division in a sentence where a seperation is needed between clauses or items. A semi colon is a dot with a comma. A colon is two dots
Example
I ate my cookie; it was yummy.
My shopping list: dog roll, cookies, chips potatoes and meat with brocolli.

Wk 8 Reflection

What: On Tuesday we had social dancing straight after fitness. The teachers, Mr Stuart and Mrs Stuart taught us two new dances. On Wednesday the road patrol people got to go to the movies and see Madagascar 3, it was awesome. We got a ice cream each, the ice cream was ice solid. On Thursday we had the year 6 Kapa Haka practice, we also started shaping our CO2 car.

So what: This week I learnt how to do the cha cha cha in social dancing pretty fast. I know the actions better  in Kapa Haka.

Now what: I want to learn how to do the cha cha as good as they do on TV.

Camp Day 4

When aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I said when I woke from my slumber sleep,we got up we had to get gear ready and pack our gear onto the bus. As I was getting onto the bus I thought to myself "Mmmmmmm! Today at the prawn farm I'm hopefully going to catch a prawn at the prawn fishing area today"
We went to the Prawn Farm to fish for prawns and a tour guy showed us around, where they put the differant prawn pools. Some of the prawns were 3 quarters the size of my arm. Yay! I said to myself as we were going to get our gear for prawn fishing because I have cought quite alot of prawn at the prawn farm a few years. We had to use a bamboo stick, good, tight string and a hook with a cup of prawn food. As we were starting to throw our hooks out Cole had already put his in and Bam! He had cought a prawn that was about half of the size my arm. About two minutes later I got a bite and Ka Pow! he took my food got of the hook, I was so disappointed. After about 25 minutes of fishing it was time to put our gear away and head to Turangi.
At Turangi we went to a trout center that have thousands of trout in there pools and ponds. Their was a guy that told us how trout breed, eat, and how many they breed. It was amazing how much trout they have. We got to feed the trout and where ever you put the food they all come rushing to you. After that we started to head back to Wanganui. On the way we stoped off at Ruakawa Falls to have lunch. Ruakawa Falls was way differant to Huka Fall because Huka falls is much bigger. Then we just started to head home after that. The ride back was so fun because me and Cole were just talking and making up jokes.

Camp Day 3

"Holley moley! we have a big day ahead of us", I said to myself as I got in the bus and was ready to got to the Redwood Forest. When we got to the Redwood forest I was quite amazed on how big the stumps their were on the Redwood trees. It took us about 6 people to get around a whole normal sized tree stump.When we looking at the ginormas tree stumps we got in our groups and started a scavenger hunt. We had to find out the anwsers to some of the questions and keep our eyes pealed for any clues or anwsers. Their was green arows that we followed until we come back to where we started, as I was walking through the path way their was a stick on ground, I went to go get it but I stepped on it and Ka Pow! it flung me right in the face, heaps of people were laughing but I was't. When we got back we were finished but we went to mark it and we got one wrong, O well I said. It was such a great experience.
  "Woo Hooo! we are leaving for Taupo now" I said. The trip to Taupo was unberible because it was so hot and stuffy but luckily Malcom our bus driver opened the roof window that cooled us right down. Oh Yeah! I said to myself because we were going to the Lava Glass studios. As soon as I walked in I could just tell it was gonna be hot because you could see little ovel shaped thing with heat that reached up to 1200 degrees, thats how they make the lava glass and they shape it by useing a metal stick. Their was a lady that told us how they make it and where they get the type of metal from. It was very interesting.
  Our next destination was Huka Falls, I was curreis to see what it looked like. When we arrived all I could hear was the rushing sound of the water clashing against the sides. We had lunch there. Then all of a sudden about 44 tourist just came rushing it was funny because they wanted to have pictures with us. Then we left to our next destionation was the honey hive.
  Wow! the honey I was really looking forward to this place because I want to learn more about bees and how they make honey. When we got there, their was a guy who showed us around his name was Matt. He told us what differant bees their are and how they attack and defend. Then we got to go off and go in our groups to watch a video and go on the computer to learn about what they would do in a situaion of getting attacked.
Then we went to the Volcanic Activity Center. Their was a lady that showed us around and there was a earthquake simulator. It went up 6.2. We did a little quiz about 12 questions. The entrance was a plastic volcano. I learnt quite alot about volcanos and earthquakes.
Wooo Hooo! Yeah! we are going to our new camp now. At our new camp we were in groups of two and sleeping in groups of two. I was sleeping with Jake, Pretty much until 10.30 we were laughing because it was so hard to sleep. That night we had board games it was so awesome! I played uno and connect four pretty much the whole time.

Camp Day 2

To Start the morning we went to Kauai park were the mud pools are and it smells like 1,000,000 monkeys that had eggs for breakfast and did a ginormas fart. The mud pools were bubbly and hot you could see the sofa and steam coming off the mud pools. After that we got to put our feet in a weird smeeling, warm  pool. The pool was't hot at all it just smelt like rotten eggs but it felt like my feet were getting massaged.  We got to play on the playground for about 5 minutes. Then we left to the gondolla and the luge.
    Oh Yeah! I had just realised that we are going on the gondolla and the luge. I could not wait to go on the luge because my mum told me about it and from what has said it sounds pretty good. When there it was a long wait just get on the gondolla, Oh! and even get me started about the wait to go on the luge. Oh well it was all worth because we got two rides on the luge, one on the beginner track and then any track we want. On the gondolla ride almost everyone was freaked out to go on it because it was high above the ground but I was't. When we finished rides on the luge we went back up in a chair lift and at one point it stoped for about 25 seconds. We went down the gondolla once more and got back in the bus and went to our next destination, Paradise valley.
   "Wooooo Hooooooooooo! Our next stop is at paradise valley" I said to my self in my head. When we got their we had lunch. At Paradise valley we got to pat 11 month old girl lions. They were asleep but still nice and cuddly. It was a hot day for us so imagion how it would be for the lions with all that fur on. Next we went to the older lions, their was about 6 lions, one of them was called Max, he was pretty much the boss lion, he's been alive for 18 years. During that time a lady started talking to us about how much meat they get each day and how long they live for, stuff like that. When the lady was feeding the lions Max kept steeling the other lions food by growling at them. Then we went back out the front and Mrs Larsen said if you guys be quiet I will get you treat, the treat was a cold ice block. The ice block cooled me right down because sitting under the heat was unbereble. So then we headed off to the pools.
Yes! I said to myself as I heard Mrs Larsen say, "we are going to the Rotorua Aquatic center now". I was realived I throught we were going back to the camp. It was so hot I just quickly got dressed and just bombed into the pool. It was so cold. Their was sprinklers outside that spring up when your looking it was so fun. Then we went back on the bus and went back to camp after we got dressed.
    When we got back we played bulrush, the ground was prickley and soar. Then we had tea and dessert. About 10 minutes later we watched a movie. The movie was The Muppets, It was weird because their was alot of singing in it. It was a crack up movie thow, I liked it.

Camp Day1

Yeah! I was super pumped and excited to go on camp because I had been getting my equipment and clothes ready for this camp for days. On Tuesday we came to school and made sure we had everything we needed for this 4 day camp at Rotorua and Taupo. "Oh man" I said in my head when I got onto the bus, I thought that I was going to feel sick on the way to Rotorua. It was't that bad because when got to Raetihi I didn't feel sick at all.

At Raetihi we had morning tea and had a little 15 minute play on the playground. On the playground there was a big circle metal pole up in the air, when I went on it, it swung me around like a strong baboon swinging you around in the air, it was exhilerating! Before we went back into the bus we had a toilet stop. Then we got back on the bus and headed for Taupo to have lunch, I felt full as ever because I had a big chocolate cookie that filled me right up.
  Oh yeah! I said to myself when we got to Taupo because I had a chuncky cookie and a Power Aid to devour for lunch. Taupo's playground was way better than the Raetihi's playground it had everything. I went on a giant round swing it went up and down getting to the point that you would fall off the back and puke up. When I was pushing people on it one person fell off because they went so high. Then we left to head for Rotorua.
When we arrived at Rotorua It was time to go on the duck tour. When I saw that big, yellow, boat type thing I knew it was going to go on the water. The duck tour guide showed us  around Rotorua I was quite surprised about how much interesting stuff they have in Rotorua, Such as mud pools and a island in the middle of lake Rotorua.
I was so excited that we were heading for our camp next because I was curious to find out what our camp looked like. My cabin was pretty cool it had bunks and our parent was Tanya, Caleb's mum so she was sleeping in our room. We packed our stuff in our room and got our bed ready. Some people got to sleep in twos in the Villa that would have been cool if I got to go in the the villa. When we got back it was time to have tea and my group was on setting out the table.For tea we had meat, potatoes and vegetables.After that Mrs Larsen showed us a movie called School of Rock. The movie was great, and Jack Black was starring in it, it was crack up because he kept doing these weird noise's.

Room 15's Assembly Item

Wow! Our item on Friday was great. I pretty much knew my lines and everybody used good expression. Our item was about the two little pigs, a wolf and a mud pie. I was the third little pig, Tic and I was one of the narrators. I got to wear a pink t-shirt and a pig mask. I had a lot of lines to learn but luckily I remembered them on the actual day other wise I would have been the downfall to the item and mucked the whole thing up. I was so nervous. There was one part in the play where some people would come out and start doing a dance on stage, I got to be in that, It was fun. I think the play was successful. I felt proud that I had remembered all my words.

Bear Grylls

Our Habits of mind is taking responsible risks. We are looking at responsible risk takers.
Description: http://www.thisisnorthumberland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/bear.jpgDescription: http://www.thisisnorthumberland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/bear.jpgI think Bear Grylls is a risk taker because every week he shows people how to survive in such bad conditions. The risks he takes are responsible because he teaches people how survive in bad conditions and that can save people's lives most of the time. He would get a lot of respect because he is such a good role model for travellers and hikers.

My New Scooter

Yeah I can't wait until I get my MGP pro because it's my birthday on Saturday. I know what it looks like because I saw it at the bike shed. It is white with black wheels and black clamps. It cost $180 dollars. I was actually meant to get a $350 scooter but my mum said it was to expensive. On MGP's the wheel's are so smooth. I can go to the bowl with my brother and his friends when I get my scooter. I can't wait!

Thursday 25 October 2012

My Contract

For my contract I made a logo for my C02 car. This is mine.

My Awesome Ride in the Ministock

"Wow! That was so fun" I said. I had just been learning how to drive a ministock because I have my own ministock that I will be driving at the speedway next year. It has the number 68v and is blue with a plastic super charger on the bonnet. The ministock has four gears but when your racing you are only allowed up to second gear. In a ministock race you are not allowed to crash. To race you need a license, to get a license you need to go through a open book test. My ministock stinks like a rotten revolting rag, it sound's like a hot rod just getting ready to race. I can not wait until I race next year because I pretty much know all the gears and clutch on the ministock.

Application Reading Activity

Application
Write a letter to your new friend the high bar apologizing for behaving so badly in the past and explaining why you behaved that way.
Dear High Bar,
I am so sorry about my poor behaviour. I should not have been so scared of you. The only reason I was scared of you is because I had a bad and embarrassing experience with you. I was afraid I might get hurt. So sorry. I hope now we can be friends.
From Keylen

Evaluation Reading Activity

Evaluation
Seeing both sides Make a chart and list your reasons for agreeing and disagreeing with this statement. “Gymnastics is too dangerous for little children”
I disagree with this statement because if the young children start off with the easy skills they can work their way up to harder skills.

I got a gold in sprints because I am super fast and in vortex, I picked up a second place, it was just too hard to beat Cole because he has a strong arm. The gold medals were  made out of  wood and they were spray painted  gold then they put a sticker saying Carlton School Olympics, you're a champion.
There was a special guest coming to hand out the gold medals, she was an Olympic athlete. Her name was Phillipa Baker Hogan. She placed fourth in the womans double skulls rowing final just one place away from a bronze. That was in 1992. She also went to the Olympics in 1996 and got 6th in the womans double sculls final.

A beaver is an animal that has large front teeth and a large tail on its back.  Beavers live in ponds that they make by building a dam on a small river or stream.

Beavers the Builders

Beavers can cut down trees with their powerful teeth. They use the twigs and sticks from the trees to build their dams.  They also use mud from the ground to hold everything together and fill in the holes.

Beavers Lodges

Beavers build their homes in the middle of their ponds. Their homes are called lodges. The entrance to the lodge is underwater. This helps protect the beavers from predators. When a beaver sees a dangerous predator like a wolf the beaver slaps its tail on the water and hides in the lodge.

The Fur Trade
