Slime

Today I got a so slime diy. It is where you make your own slime, but it comes with instructions and the ingredients so you can make it. First you have to put the powder, sparkles and some water in the little container. Second you have to close the lid and shake it for 30 seconds and then open the lid and wait 5 minutes. The final instruction is to put your little toy in and play.

This was very fun to make and easy. I liked it so much and it is so amazing. You should get it! It is very simple, squishy and fun.

On the last day of school me and my nana went Christmas shopping. We went to the Warehouse and got my uncles, mum, dad, brother,me and my aunties Christmas presents. I said to my nana " we should get this, that, this ,that, this, that and this for people" she said " ok." She got my presents that I wanted and I saw them because I was with her. She bought a big set of lego, some little Hatchimals and a dress. We wrapped all the stuff up except for my big lego. The big lego is so amazing that I screamed when I opened it. The set has a pool that has a shower connected to it, a jumping plank, some seats, a big tank with a fish in it, two chairs, a ladder to go on the slide and two big slides. There is a lifeguard stand and a resting area where you can go in the hot tub and relax. There is a toilet that has pictures in it and there is a smoothie and ice cream stand.

The set is really cool and fun. I think you should get it because it is amazing and fun to build.

Going to Tonga

In week 7 on Wednesday I went to Tonga with my aunt . Tonga was so beautiful and there was so much land, Tonga has lots of animals like pigs, dogs, birds and other animals. When I got on the plane it was so cool because it was so nice in the seats and there was a screen where you could play games, watch movies, watch tv shows and there was free lunch and breakfast. The flight was three hours long, but I think the flight was worth it. I played a game called the Incredibles escape the evil villain. It was very cool and you had to use your brain and fingers. Then I had breakfast, I had a juice box, a few pieces of cheese, a biscuit, a tray of chicken and pasta and last, but not least some water.

When we got to Tonga it was so hot even though it was raining! The big airport there was so small and everyone was crowded so tightly. It was so stinky in the airport because all of the passengers that were so sweaty and it was so yuck. It took so long to find a trolley to put all our stuff on it, but finally we found a trolley and our stuff and headed out the door. Me and my aunt called Ailine got into a rental car and went to our guest house. Tonga only has cold water because it is so hot there😓.

The first thing we did was have shower and it was so nice. Then we visited our family and they were so happy. The next day we went to take some photos and there were lots of rocks. We saw some cows and they had horns on their heads and they were so rough. The next day we went to the beach and the waves were so big that they carried you up so high that you nearly went under water instead of up. At the beach we had ice cream, cassava and turkey, it was so delicious. The last day we went to the markets and I bought some stuff for my family. The markets in Tonga were so different to our market. Then when we finished we went back to the guest house and packed up our stuff. When we got to the airport we said our fair wells and  went to check in and had some dinner. We got on the plane and waited until we could go on the screen. I watched a movie called buyer and the beast.  They delivered us some food to and lollies then we finally got back to New  Zealand and I went back home and said "hi"to my family and went to bed.

movies

Last week on Wednesday the whole school went to the Hoyts. I was a presenter with my friend Gabby. We went on the bus and it was so fun. The bus was going so slow and it was making sounds like this “Ba boof ba boof!!!!” Finally we got there, but me and Gabby got off first because we had to be there first with all the other presenters. In the Hoyts it was dark but not that dark.

When all of the lights went off everybody screamed so loud that my ears hurt. Some of the movies came on and then it was our turn Gabby was excited and I was nervous even though I did it last year. We got it all right and we were so happy. Our movie was so good that everybody was screaming. I loved all of the movies because they were so cool.

We presented again and it was so much fun the crowd was cheering and I was so proud. I was so hungry that I was starting to get hangry (hungry and angry). After we presented the second time we got on the bus with all the other children from team 3. On the bus I was buddies with my friend Angelica.


On the bus everybody was screaming and playing hand games. Finally we got back to school and it was lunch time. We sat down in the breeze and waited for all the other kids. All the other kids got there and we went to class. When we got to our classroom I rushed inside and quickly got my food.

recorder

This morning we got to play recorders. My teacher called Miss Davis, went to a school and her class played music every morning. She learnt to play the recorder and she thought that we might like it. Miss Davis said “Get into a circle and I will give you your recorder.” We all got into a perfect circle and sat patiently while waiting for our recorders. After we got our recorders everybody was so excited.

After everybody calmed down Miss Davis said “Okay, now we are going to try to learn five notes today.” First we learnt note D. To learn note D we had to put our left middle finger on the second hole, put our thumb under the back hole and we always have to put our right hand on the bottom of the recorder. It sounded like a bird that was getting eaten by a cat.

Then we learnt note C. To learn not C you have to do all the same things as note D but your thumb has to be on the back hole. Next  we got into groups and made some music. I was with my friends called Julianna, Keyana and Atawhai. I was so tired that when the recorders played I opened my eyes so fast.

Next we did some sharing, in sharing we had to do both of the notes and play them the right way. Lastly we put our recorders in a bucket with special cleaning stuff and then we walked out of the door to go to maori class.

Today I felt excited and angry. I felt angry because my ears hurt, it was so noisy and I was so so so so tired and annoyed. I was excited because I have never played a recorder and it was something new to learn.

I can’t wait to learn all the other notes because I am interested in playing the recorder. The recorder is a fun instrument to play.

new term

We walked sensibly to the hall  with our hands behind our backs and we were silent. When we got to the hall there was a crazy man, he was called Mr Jacobson he was wearing a big wig and a shirt with muscles painted on. When all of the classes were seated in the hall our principal, our  associate principal , Mr Somerville, Mr Wiseman and Mr Jacobson sang a song for our new term called musical madness.

Then we had our movies for our new term. First team one shared their performance. They played a game called snap all kinds of different songs. Some of them were sad, happy, scary, funny, angry and mean. So their movie was about when you have different  emotions when you play different songs.

The second team was team two. They did a performance. They sang a song called the Mighty Jungle. Miss Gaston was playing the ukulele, Miss Nalder was playing the bongo drums, Miss Tumahai  was playing a  xylophone and Miss peck was playing the  tambourine. They are going to make their own songs.

The third team was team three they made a movie about telling a story with lots of parts from different songs. It was a song conversation and my teacher called Miss Davis said “ I’m going to swing on the chandelier”

I like the Finding Black Beauty book because it is new to me and I can watch the movie after I read the book. I like the Magical Mission because I can collect all of the Geronimo Stilton. Once again thank you so much Duffy people for our books.

suzie and the space nuts

Flounder

On Wednesday Pt England School went down to Riverside Road. We went there because some of our seniors went to the beach to catch some Flounder for our school fish tank. When my class got there  the whole school was not there yet so we had to sing some waiata. After that the whole school got there  we shouted "Catch some fish oi!"  Then we shouted "We love you!"


  Afterwards the whole school sang the main song enthusiastically, it was called Whakataka Te Hau. We are catching the fish because they were getting endangered and we will help them grow babies, we will put them back in the sea. Finally we all went back to school and we did some learning. I felt happy and proud to represent Pt England School.

my rocket

My rocket has a wig it is light brown and it is very fancy like a wave. It has wheels like a bulldozer, the wheels have a protector on the  top of the wheels, that are the colour of  sand and mud combined. The rocket has a body like a beehive it has sea threw light blue octagons on the side of it’s body. My rocket has square eyes as dark as the beautiful sea. It has buttons that are lay out on a rectangle surface that is the colour of the grey Moon. My rocket even has lot’s of buttons like shapes. My rocket is fast like a lightning bolt.

As I walk across the footpath I feel excited and a little bit nervous. ‘I’ve always dreamed of walking into a spaceship” I said to myself. My family, friends and other people are staring at me as  I walk into my spaceship. The rocket starts to count down from the number ten, I get goose bumps. The rocket gets to three and as I stepped on the first step I felt as scared as a child that scraped it’s ankle. I felt as if I was going to die, but I was fine. I got into the rocket and it started to shake like a dog that was freezing and then it blast off! It’s flames ignited.

After I blasted off I saw lot’s of asteroids different sizes and colours. I went past the big humongous star, the Sun. Then I went all the way to Neptune. As I started to land on the big  Neptune my rocket stayed in place and didn’t sink through, I got out of my colourful spaceship and as I stepped out of my rocket I realized that the ground was made out of food and books. I quickly pulled my helmet off and ate some of the food and took some books. After that my rocket blasted off. Neptune was a colourful rainbow.

Afterwards I went to the gas giant Jupiter and there were little spotty aliens! There were 2 Aliens, the first alien was called Spog the second alien was called Bog. Spog said “ what are you ugly things called?” I shouted “I am  not ugly and we are called humans!”  Then I set off very angry. After a while I calmed down and I saw the Dwarf planets. The Dwarf planets were very pretty and small, I went to Pluto  and there was a weird thing, it was called Bob. When I talked to it it did not talk back to me and I shouted “Are you going to talk back to me Bob!” Bob shook his head. So I just got into my spaceship and went back home.

moon phases

The moons light depends on what angle it is on and how far it is away from the sun. The suns light reflects on the moon. The moon orbits around the earth and that's why the moon always changes. The moons light side changes every day. As the moon go's in a circle we see different parts of the moon. All of this stuff is called phases of the moon. It takes twenty nine days for the moon to orbit the earth.

season dictation

Seasons are caused because of the Earths position with the sun. The Earth travels around the sun in an orbit once a year. As the Earth orbits the sun the amount of sunlight each place on the planet gets every day changes slightly. This change causes the seasons. We divide the year into four seasons spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season lasts three mounts summer being the warmest season, winter being the coldest and spring and autumn lying in between. The seasons have a lot of in pact on the Earth.

alien writing

One day in space town there lived a woman and her name was Sam she didn’t have that  much money because she worked as a car fixer , she only got 50 dollars an hour just enough to  buy food  and pay rent each week. One day after fixing a car sam went home and she received a letter from the planet company and the letter said  “you have won  two tickets to go to any planet you  and your friend  choose!” Sam was so excited. She chose the friend that she wanted to go with and his name was Jack. After  one hour they packed a speaker,toothbrush, toothpaste, food, clothes and lots of water because they were saying in space for two days.  

The day after that  they went to the planet company and they got to go in a flying car, but first they  they had a good look at all the engines. Sam and  Jack looked at all of the ships and rockets. Jack asked Sam “ what are we going in i forgot ?” Sam said “we are going in a flying car!” After all of that they got into their astronaut suits and got into the flying car and set up the car and  off they went to  planet jupiter. Then something bad bad bad happened their engine  run out of  oil ,but the car was on top of jupiter.They didn’t  know how to get back home though. Luckily they saw some aliens that had some oil but they had to communicate Sam knew alien so it wasn’t a problem Sam asked them and the aliens said “yes”  they put some oil in the car and went to sleep. The next day they woke up and ate some food, had a boogie and got changed in their clothes then their suits after doing that they set off home and cooked some dinner after that Sam decided that Jack could move in with her Sam asked Jack if he wanted to move in with her and he said “yes.” After that they both went to bed, before going to bed sam shouted” i’m  going to be famous, but both of the were  famous. The next day they got a job as a astronaut, they flew all around the solar system every day and night.

place value

this week we have been learning about place value.

the sun

 The sun is the largest star in our solar system. How ever there are many stars like it in the wider universe. The earth is just the right distance from the sun that our planet is not to hot or not to cold.  The light from the sun takes eight minutes to reach   , and gives life to plants. Astronauts will never be able to land on the sun, as it reaches  five thousand five hundred degrees Celsius. One hundred times hoter than humans can stand. The sheer size of the sun means that its gravitational pull forces all the planets in our solar system to orbit around it. Born five billion years ago the sun has been producing light and heat for a very long time.

fairy bread

Last thursday room 14 did something  exciting we made fairy bread. We made fairy bread after  morning tea before we could make the fairy bread we had to wash our hands. Finally we went to our tables and Miss handed out the plates, knifes and bread. Meanwhile I was staring at my bread Miss Davis  put some butter on a plate for each table, after she did that we all spread the butter on our bread and the exciting bit came we got to put sprinkles on our bread.

After that we got to make our fairy bread into stars and we  didn’t cut the crust because that meant that the bread would be a photo frame. I cut out 4 little stars and one medium star. Then we were finished with that part.

Finally we got to eat the fairy bread and it was delicious but after a while I felt sick because there was too much butter on my bread but it was so yum. Miss Davis said “ put it in your lunchbox or the rubbish” but I threw it in the rubbish.  

tamarereti story

my video is about a maori legend called tamarereti

rabbit writing

today we wrote a story independently.`we used rabbits as our theme.

Once in dazy disco land there were two rabbits one was white with black spots and his name was dazy waisy, he had big black bushe hair and he chose  disco pants, disco t shirt and funky glasses t wear for the day out. The other rabbit was black with disco patterns and her name was funky dunky she chose a dress but her dress wasn’t any ordinary dress it was a disco dress it had a disco ball on it and at the bottom of it her name was written in capital letters, she chose this dress because she thought it was lovely  to go out with dazy waisy.

After getting dressed the two rabbits  met up and they met up at the dazy disco cafe and dazy waisy said “ what should we do today” funky dunky responded “ we should go to the human world in treasure town” both of them thought it was a great idea so they went off on there great adventure.

Finally they set off but meanwhile funky dunky went to her house first to get some food and a first aid kit for the food she got some roasted carrots. After having their little stop they climbed mountains, hopped over rocks and go around trees but most importantly  they got to the human world. They saw a disco shop that was having an actual disco so the rabbits went in and the people were scared of them so they said “ we have come to your world to have fun” all the people came out and they ran away so the rabbits were sad but they had an idea they would act out a magic show after they set it all up it worked all the people came back and they watched the magic show, the people  loved the rabbits after that but even better the rabbits turned into magic rabbits and they lived magically  ever after.

tamarereti script

Long long ago there was a lake that a fierce taniwha lived in. The taniwha only came out  at night, when the  sky had no stars and it was pitch black. Next to the lake there was a small village  and there was a boy that lived in the village, his name was Tamarereti. He  lived in the  village with all his friends and family. Tamarereti and the villagers were  terrified  of the taniwha. Who ever came out at night the taniwha would eat  them.

One morning the sun came out and the taniwha went down into the deep lake. A few minutes later Tamarereti woke up and his stomach was rumbling he checked in his kete for food but there was no food so excitedly he went out fishing. He got in his waka, got his kete and set off fishing. When he got to his fishing spot he saw that the fish were moving around so he got his fishing rod and put it in  the water. He was so happy because he caught three large slippery fish.

After catching three fish the wind died down and Tamarereti was exhausted so he had a little  sleep. When he woke up he was confused because the waka beached itself. The sky was dark and Tamarereti knew that the taniwha was going to eat him. First  he got his fish, got out of his waka and lit a fire to cook his fish. Meanwhile he knew that he had to come up with an idea. When he was cooking his fish he saw some pebbles glistening on the beach so Tamarereti  got the pebbles off the beach and put as much pebbles as he could find  in his waka.

After putting the pebbles in  his waka he set off drifting in the lake  throwing  the pebbles as hard as he could in the sky. After throwing the pebbles in the sky  he found his way back home, the pebbles helped him and the villagers because that meant that the taniwha wouldn’t come out and they would light up the sky and be the stars. After  coming home he lay on his bed then out of nowhere Ranginui came out and Tamarereti  thought that he was going to get in trouble  but instead he s aid “ you have brang light to the sky, thank you.”The taniwha never came out again.

plane writing

It was a very exciting afternoon on Monday  because when me and all my friends  came in the classroom  Miss Davis said “ okay class we are making paper planes.” The  class was so happy. Before getting our piece of paper  we watched a video about how to make a paper airplane  and how it flies.The  movie said that  force is something that keeps a airplane high in the sky ,but the force is made from the wings on the airplane because the air goes through the  wings very fast which makes the airplane stay up.There’s  thrust and lift, thrust is when the airplane goes up in the sky but the paper airplane’s thrust is from you ,when you throw it. Lift is when it is in the sky. After that we got our piece of paper.

After getting our piece of paper we made our paper planes. Some people followed the instructions  on the video, some people made simple planes and some people made defalcate planes. I made my own version and it worked, after making our paper  airplane  we coloured it in and they all looked fabulous.

I waited anxiously for this moment to arrive, finally we got to have a competition of  flying our paper planes. Some of us were nervous and some of us were excited. I was both of them, but only a little bit nervous.  Miss  Davis said “ we are going to have turns in our group’s, and whose ever the winner out of each group will go to the finals.”  After a while we waited and then Miss Davis said ” let’s start the competition “ first the  blue group went first and Chaun won.Then the purple group went and Troy won. After that the orange  group went and Kelly won. Next my group went and Leigharna won, the last group went after us and  Kitione won. Finally they all versed each other and Kelly won so she got her name under the fake trophy.

After all that fun doing   the competition I felt a little bit sad and anxious in a happy way. I felt sad because I didn’t win, but I was just happy that I got to join in.
