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.
