Action World Trip by Lilli-Rose

                          “Action World”

Yesterday I Walked all the way to Action World, and I am here to tell you about it. First we had to pair up with a partner, so I chose to  be with Nevaeh. We used my bag and put some of here lunch, and my lunch in it. We didn’t put our book bag in because it would be to heavy. We are now half way Nevaeh and I are having turns carrying it.

Finally we are there carl the owner gave us a Talk  about Action World, then we started playing on the activities. The first thing I went on was the ladder, when I went on I was so close to the bell, and everyone was cheering, and I rang the bell Then I fall of the ladder, I was so happy that I got there.

Then I walked over to the monkey bar one, and waited in line for my turn. It took such a long time but It was finally my turn. I swung from the first bar, to the second bar and then the next bar then, I tried to jump over the monster, but I failed.

Next I ran onto the climbing Rockwall, I was pretty good. When I rang the bell I filled up with joy I was so happy. Then I heard the girl that worked say “Girls time to go on the water slide!”

So I rushed to get my togs, and ran excitedly into the changing room lots of girls were getting changed, it was like a bundle of hippos. After I got dressed I rushed to put my clothes into my bag, and then I ran up to the line for the water slide it took a long time for my turn, but that was Okay.   

Finally it is my turn “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” It was so much fun I was having a blast I went on the water slide I went on twice. It was as slippery as a soap.Then I got dressed I was as cold as a  winter  day. I then went on the fighting one, and I hit jamie with the soft hitting stick.

I was so sad it was time to go, but I had to when we walked to the gas station my mum came and picked me up. Nobody else got picked up so I was kind of special, I had such a blast but I had to go It was as special as a fabulous show.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!”

  

Water Colour Paintings

For our calendar art we used a dry brush painting technique, we realised that we did not need to cover  all the paper as blank white areas enhanced our paintings.

• Next time we need have chocolate popcorn as it was a bit dry.

Today we were learning to add a comment to our procedural text so that we may adjust the procedure if were to follow it again.

Indie commented-It was a bit dry so give it some flavour with caramel, butter or chocolate.

Jade, Franky, Mere and Jamie commented that the popcorn needed some butter to make it taste better.

Liam and Mere commented that we should have made rainbow popcorn.

Mikaila and Lilli-Rose commented that the popcorn needed some chocolate melted onto it.

Kingston commented that the popcorn tasted yummy and did not need any unhealthy stuff on it.

It was a Matariki morning then suddenly Will and Katarina heard Aunt Amiria shout, “wake up you two, it’s time to get up.” Yawn!!!! “Why do we have to get up, it’s 4 hours before dawn.” “No, it’s not, it’s only 23 minutes before dawn.” “Put on your warm jumpers and come outside onto the beach.” “Can we make a sandcastle?” “ No!” “But look into the distance can you see the stars, if you can that would be Matariki.” “Wait Aunt Amiria we need to go wake up Mum & Koro or they won't get to see Matariki.” “O.K! we can take a picture for them, they are very very tired.” “ But we did not bring a camera.” “ Yes, I have one in my pocket.” “O.K. we can take lots and lots of pictures.”

Purerehua by Lilli-Rose, Mere and Jade

Purerehua

We made curved purerehua. They were smooth and looked like diamonds and stars in the sky. WE made koru decorations on them. We had to use them carefully as they are sharp at the sides. They are a Maori musical instrument. The purerehua is named after it's buzzing sound (like that of a butterfly, insect or bird's wings) is a bull roarer.

Treaty Trip-by Lilli-Rose

             Treaty Trip

“ I can't believe we're where  the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. “It’s so awesome, right Evie.” “ Yeah, it’s really awesome” as she said to me. “ So many people are here.” As we arrived one of the guys there was called Matua, he first said a karakia and then gave us a sticker that said “Treaty of Waitangi” with green on it!

Then he told us we were going to have morning tea first. So we set off and got lunch.

After our awesome amazing  lunch we packed up and put our lunch boxes in the red van! Then we ran down to the waka. Then Matua told us we were playing a game. When we heard Matua say we were playing a game we were so pumped we played a fun game.Matua showed and had us using the hoe. We pretended to row in rhythm as we chanted. Matua told us so many things about the waka before we went to the whare. The whare was awesome but we had to go so we started walking home it was an awsome day and I loved it.  (Please read our slideshow for information we learnt)

Should we have Lollies at School--An Argument by Lilli-Rose

Lilli- Rose has written her argument about not having Lollies at school. She wrote her argument then edited and re-crafted it so that she met the standards of a higher rubric. It is great to see such a motivated student setting her goals so high and knowing how to self improve.

Evie's Swimming Sports Day

Swimming Sports 17.3.16 On Wednesday the juniors had swimming sports It was at school. We had it just for fun. The first thing our class did was the water guns and sprinkler we had so much fun I got squirted by lots of water guns. It looked like Indie had the biggest water gun. I think Lilli-Rose thought that too. I got covered in water! It was such a great time. Next we did races there were two buckets and a cup we had to get the fill it up with water and tip it in the other bucket. When we all had three go’s we had a different race but my favourite one was when we had to get to the other side without the cup falling off the ball.It looked hard at first but It wasn’t. The second to last thing was the water slide. I waited for my turn suddenly I was at the front of the line I could hear people laughing I ran onto the water slide It was very slippery but exciting. I could see the smiles on their faces it was the best school day ever. Finally It was the relays but suddenly I realised Lilli-Rose and I were the only year for girls racing against each other because stormy-lee didn’t bring her togs. Finally It was time for our race It was freestyle Lilli-Rose and I kept on trying It was so amazing. Then the bell rang, we quickly ran to get changed once I was dressed I ran out I saw Mum waiting for me I gave her a big hug and she took me home. I hope we can do that again.
