News About Santa Arriving In New Zealand

    Friday                                12/25/2015

                   





 
THERE'S BREAKING NEWS IN NEW ZEALAND! and it is about Santa and I am talking about the real one with the flying REINDEER's , and guess what sometimes he doesn’t fit inside the chimney because he eats to much cookies, and he drinks too much milks. But when he comes out he gets STUCK. Then when he squeezes out the reindeer's make a happy face because they thought that Santa had some nice treats like carrots. After that when he comes up the reindeer's were so excited but then Santa said” sorry there's no carrots”, then the reindeer's burst with tears because they were so tired and hungry. 
When they go to another house the chair Santa sits on. It scrapes on the wall. Then when Santa went inside he thought about the reindeer's being so tired and hungry, and running out of energy. After that when, he looked out the window…he saw MCDONALDS so he went there and he asked the people if he could have some carrots and they said ”for who”. After that Santa said “it’s for my flying reindeer's” Then everyone was so surprised that it was the real Santa so they were normal. After that Santa went back up the chimney and then when he went near the reindeer's he opened the sack and then he said to the reindeer's “merry Christmas”. After that the reindeer's were so happy that they were happy like a dancing donkey.

The Day I Saved The El Dorado

This week we have been writing about a story. But first our teacher had to tell us that story, then we imagine what it's going to be about and then we write about it. I found it interesting how we could imagine the story we wanted to write about.

Here is an example of my story about the day I saved the El Dorado.

The Day I Saved The El Dorado

One day I was walking around El Dorado when I saw a group of children fighting then I went to solve that big problem. Then I backed up because all of the parents came rushing to the children and they got a stick and kept waking them until they cried. After that I went back to my golden kingdom. At night time I went to sleep until people from the Spanish team came, shooting with there mighty guns. Then when they saw El Dorado they kept getting people out of there houses and tied them with ropes. After that the entire city was captured except me by those greedy Spanish People. Then after the Spanish army left one of them said “their gold is over there” then the other one said “we will get it tomorrow”. When I got out of my kingdom I was worried because everyone was covered in so much blood and they were tied up. Then I freed them but it was the morning and everyone was tired but there blood was dry. After that I had to go to the river to get some water to make there blood come off. Then I, The golden man, said ”we should prepare tonight for the Spanish People”. Then it was afternoon and we worked together as a team then we got some rocks and get some of my golden dust and put it on. Then at that night they put all of there fake gold in a wheelbarrow and gave it to the Spanish people, and then they said “well that was easy”. Then when they left me and my city celebrated. Then when the Spanish people went back to their base and one of them dropped the gold, then it cracked then they saw black in it and they went super mad. But it was past midnight so they had to sleep. Then in the next morning in El Dorado all the people were hungry and they asked me if, I could get them food but there was no more weapons. Then I got some of the people to help me create weapons so we made some spears,bows and arrows then we got poisonous frogs to go with the bowen arrow. Then we caught food for them. At night time everyone went dead asleep but I didn’t because I had to keep in eye if the Spanish people came back. So some of my soldiers helped me. We kept super quite like a sneaky ninja and then we suddenly heard footsteps coming out of the bushes. Then the Spanish People came and they wanted revenge then me and my soldiers got our arrows and the poisonous frog. But some of them survived and then they ran away. But it was lucky Because I had a pet that was jaguar and then it had to chase the survivors and get them and bring them back to me. So I can see why they came here. When I asked them why they came they just said “we came because we wanted your gold”. But I said 


“YOU CAN’T TAKE OUR GOLD OR ELSE MY PET WILL EAT YOU BECAUSE HE IS HUNGRY”. After that it was night time and my pet was hungry so I gave the Spanish people to it.

The Story Of Chicken Licken

This week we have been writing a animated story about chicken licken. It was about a little chicken that tells other animals that THE SKY IS FALLING! but it was just a acorn that fell on his head. But when the other animals listened they didn't think that the sky can't fall. I found it interesting because when we were listening to the story we were critical thinking about why did the chicken say the sky is falling. Here is an example of my slideshow about chicken licken.

How To Play Basketball

This week we have been writing how to play basketball because every Tuesday coaches come and teach us about it. Then they will tell us the rules how to play it. I found it interesting because in basketball you can have fun and never give up, even doe you don't know how to do it.

Here is an example of how to play basketball

 How To Play Basketball     
                         
   



When you play basketball it's a little bit tricky because you have to learn heaps of things like dribbling,stunts and two step. if you you want balance your shot you can use the beef I know that sounds like the meat but it’s not. B stands for balance, E stands for your elbow because when you shoot it you have to bend it, Then the other E stands for your eyes because if you don’t look at the square in the hoop you could miss a shot, F the last letter stands for focus because when you try to make a shot, you have to look at the hoop to make a shot in it so it could make a score for your team. When you practice a move in basketball like two step it might sort of look tricky because when you dribble twice then you have to make two big steps then a big jump and shoot it in the hoop.

When you play basketball you can’t dribble the ball then pick it up because that’s called double dribble. Also when you play basketball you can’t hold the ball and run with it because it’s a travel. A travel is like when you hold the ball for too long and then you have hand over to hand over to the other team. In basketball you can use some of the skills you learnt and use them to beat the other team. When you use the skills you learnt you could improve how good you are in basketball.

May Road Way

Today we wrote about our May Road Way. It is about respecting others. I enjoyed writing about it because I liked working out problems at play times.

Here is an example of my leaning power.

Construction Day

On Friday construction people came to our school to teach us how they build things. It was interesting because we got to have heaps of fun.

Here is an example of my writing about our construction day.

Construction Day
Today we went constructing and there were three things to do like digging a gigantic trench in the relaxing sandpit  and put a pipe in it. Then we dig the sand back in it. The next one is how builders put the pipes together and how to work it by putting water in it. The last one was in the hall and Matt the person who had to teach us about his robot. But he had to pick volunteers and the people still sitting in the hard rocky ground had to measure the hole school. But it was three classes that had to do the constructions. First Rosser house second Room 10 and last was Room 13. 




The first place to go was the sand pit. There was Three instructors to help us. First thing they had to pick two volunteers on boy and one girl. There job was to check if the people are safe with the shovels because the people might in real pain. First people with the sharp end of the shovel had to dig a humongous hole because they had to put the longest pipe in but first, they had to share because people out of the sandpit had a RAKE! So they had to give it. But when I was digging I just found the GROUND!. So I had to put the sand back and dig another hole then I had to pass it on to another person. Then when people kept digging and digging until they found something and it was just a HOUSE! That had to make a sand castle. Then we had to move onto another activity.





The next construction activity was how to make pipe. First there was two different instructors that were telling us how to use a pipe. First they told us how they make a pipe that will work. Then we had to go in groups to make a pipe, first they drawed a pipe in the board so we could make it. Then after that we had to get very DIRTY WATER so we could pore it in the pipe so it could fill the bucket up. The hours WORKED! But then they drawed another one in the board and that confused me so my partners helped me. But in that one we had to work FAST! Because heaps of the groups were beating us so we tried our best. But then it was the final one and it was a little bit hard but we never gave up and still got it. Everyone DASHED to the water and there was no more for us so we poured the water inside the cup ran to the pipe and poured it in and then it WORKED!. Then we had to move onto the last activity.
















The final activity was surveying and it is when construction people measure the size of how big is the building going to be. But there was three instructors to help us and one of them are called Matt and he told us if we seen his robot before. First they gave us a picture of the hole school so we could measure it. Then they told us about that red dot and they turned it on and then it pointed up. Then it told them what number it was and it was 5 meters. Then they turned on the robot and Matt was walking right and that time the robot was following. After that the bell ran so we had to go line up and march back to class.

Communication

This week we have been learning about our learning power and it was Communication. It is important because you get to share ideas with your partner. When I was Writing about it I felt amazed how when you communicate you can have eye contact and also sharing ideas with you partner. I found it interesting because when I learnt about It I really wanted to write about it. Here is an example of my learning power about communication.

Summer Learning Journey Practice

Today we are going to register the summer learning journey but it is just a practice post. I am going to write about my favourite meal. My favourite meal is a burger because it is my dads recipe sometimes. I like it because it has a fantastic flavour in it like the patties and the sauce and last the yummy vegetables. My dad buys the buns and the vegetables and the mince because he would make the patties out of the mince. Then he would put it in the frying pan because it won't make the mince break up in to pieces. Sometimes he cooks it at 8 o'cloak at night because it takes ages for the patties to cook. Then when he takes the patties out it would look very BURNT!. But then we put it on the buns. But first he puts the lettuce then the tomato, then the cheese and last the patties. He puts the sauce in it so we could taste the flavour.

Have-A-Go-Day

This week we have writing about our Have-A-Go-Day. it is like when you have a go on any sports and having fun and it doesn't matter if you win because it is all about having fun. I really enjoyed writing about it because when we went to Have-A-Go-Day it was very fun.

Here is an example of my writing of Have-A-Go-Day.

                         Have-A-Go-Day

 On Friday we had awesome Have-A-Go-Day It is when you can have fun or have a go on any sport you can play. We went to Keith Hay Park to play games like Soccer,Gymnastic,Ripper Rugby,Ki-o-Rahi and the final game TUG OF WAR!. 


The First hard game we played was Ki-o-Rahi in it there was two teams and it was Ki uma and Taniwha. The Ki uma team had to touch the poles and go to the middle and touch a try, but if the taniwha team ripped there tags of, they would have to pass it to there other person in there team. The taniwha had to try hit the tupu but there had to be two defenders from the Ki uma to block there throw. Then someone from the other team would come and rip your tag of then you pass it to you team mate. I felt exhausted because  of all the hard running made my legs noddley. Then after a women rang the horn and it was so loud like an elephant screaming.




The next amazing activity was GYMNASTICS!. When we went inside first we had to take of our shoes off then we went inside the giant place where they do the gymnastics. First we had to the obstacle course the hard one of all of them was the SPONGE PIT! In it I kept sinking and it had my name all over the sponges and it felt like I was climbing mt Everest because it was so hard. In the SPONGE PIT! I couldn’t breath because the smell was horrible but lucky I climbed out. The next obstacle was a trampoline and when I was jumping I felt I was flying high. The next one was to swing backwards. Then we had to swing then land. The next one was a beam it is when you balance but we had to put one leg up and one leg down. Then we do a perfect land. Next we went on a different trampoline and it was so long like someone eating a long subway. Then we had to climb and do another obstacle and we had to jump on a trampoline and it felt like I was jumping like a kangaroo. Then we had to climb of because we had to do another activity then we had to get out and put on our shoes then line up at the door.


Next awesome game was RIPPER RUGBY!. Our was Coach was Jim. The team we were vs was HILLSBOROUGH TIGERS! And they painted their face like a tiger like the whiskers they have but we came out of nowhere and we were called the WOLVES! Awoooooooooo!. In one of the matches we lost because there was a tall person helping but he was from there school. When we played we had to wear belts and we had to wear tags like in the Ki o rahi. Sometimes people had to step the other kids so they couldn’t catch them in running. In the Hillsborough team they had a DASHING FAST KID and his name was SPENCER!. Then after that at the end It was The FINAL MATCH! And it was MAY ROAD SCHOOL! VS HILLSBOROUGH And HILLSBOROUGH WON!. Then we had to change games.



The next fun game was FOOTBALL! And it is soccer. The next hard school to vs was St Therese Cheetahs. They were hard to use because they had good soccer players. They were the only ones who got goals and we tried but they kept getting it of us. It was lucky because the coach was joining our team to help us. We had to wear little green jackets and the other team they perfect normal sized jackets. But when the coach had the ball the other team got it of her. Then they had to kick off because they got a goal. Since then they kept getting goals. Finally we nearly got a goal but then someone came out of nowhere and got it then he kicked it to his players. Then they got goals again and again until the game finished then they rang the horn in May Road School went AWWW!. They were so close of getting a goal but they rang the horn. Then after that we had to play the final game.





The Final Game was TUG OF WAR! When we were waiting everybody was WHOA when it happened we had to pull hard as we could like two lions fighting each other and we won. But in the next round we lost because there was a very tall person. On the next round there were strong kids pulling hard as they could and they won. But in the next round we nearly won. Next was a hard and challenging school and when the the horn rang we had to start pulling both of the school were trying their best but they won. At least May Road tried their best. THEN IT WAS THE FINAL ROUND!, When May Road Standed up they were too tired to do the final round so they never gave up and then we kept trying and trying but then we LOST! But it was ok because we still had fun. Then we had to have a break and we cool refreshing water and we had something yum to eat. 


Then we had to get our masks and sit down because they were going to call out the people who gets there certificate.  Also they would get prizes but sport ones but it had to be one person from each school then after that we had to go and head back to school. There were 3 vehicles There were the school van, Ms petrus’s van and last Kevin's van.

FIREWORKS SHOULD BE BANNED!

This week we have writing a persuasion. it is what you think to change other peoples minds. I have been writing fireworks should be banned. I really enjoyed writing about it because I could write why we should banned fireworks.

Here is an example of my writing about banning fireworks.

 FIREWORKS SHOULD BE BANNED!



I think fireworks should be banned because it could disturb the neighbours when they sleep.


The first reason is that fireworks are dangerous, because they could go the wrong direction and burn houses down, and it might hurt kids when they go to close. When the kids go close to the fireworks they might sniff the smoke and they might run out of air.
        

The second reason is that it is a waste of money because it could cause heaps of damage. It could burn peoples trees down when it fell down it had its name all over the ground, and if they will bring a baby they might cry because of the loud banging noise.


The third reason is that the animals will get scared and runaway and the owner has to catch it before it will get lost, they might also get hurt when they run around and they will run into the fireworks. The animals might go back in there pet house because they will feel frightened.
