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.

My Family

My family is the weather

My brother is the earthquake that always brakes things.

I am the tornado that makes the family whirl.

Our family is the weather that always sticks together.

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.
