EOTC Week!

Through these past weeks, my class and Ruma Toru have been at EOTC week. EOTC week
means Education Outside The Classroom. We went surfing and body boarding on Thursday and it was fun then on Friday we went climbing in Adrenalin forest and it was scary but I had fun anyway. We went to Spencer Park and we played on the playground. On Monday we were meant to go sailing but it was raining so it was cancelled. Then on Tuesday we went to Mega Air and it was really fun and I was really tired and when the ju ju on that beat song came up we all started dancing. When we finished playing at mega air we went back to school and had some morning tea and had a play for 20 min then we did the top team challenge. My favourite bit of the top team challenge was when we carried the stick with the bucket on top with water inside it.  We got wet because the bucket had holes in it.

My reading activity about what to do in a flood.

This is an activity that me and my group had to do and we had to write about the flood in our story we read. 

Earthquake

On the 14th of November there was a big earthquake in Christchurch.

When the earthquake happened nothing broke or fell in my house.

Kaikouras earthquake was really bad and there road was really cracked and broken.

Here the picture of the road.

The earthquake spread all over New Zealand and the earthquake was 7.5.
I felt sorry for the people that died in the earthquake.

My sister Moira's birthday party.

On Saturday the 22nd of September, I went to Chipmunks for my sister Moira’s 5th birthday party. Her friends came and there names are Tia, Marina and Krystallena. My Mum, Dad, Uncles, Aunties and Cousins came to the party too. I was really excited to see all  my family and Moira’s friends.  

Firstly I had to get changed into my new clothes. Mum bought a black dress and it has sparkles on it. Moira had to dress up as Elsa. Moiras dress was light blue and shiny. Moira looked really pretty in her Elsa dress.

For Moira’s birthday we are going to chipmunks and we have to be there by 9:45. We went in the car to get to the chipmunks. When we got there we just quickly took our shoes off and played on the biggest slide. I was playing with my cousin and we played on the yellow double slide.  

After playing on the slide one of the people that works at the chipmunks called us because they said the party room was ready for Moira’s birthday party. Then my aunty said to me and my cousin to keep playing so we did. After Moira blew her cake she gets to hug the chipmunk but me and my cousin didn’t because we were still playing.`

After chipmunks we went home and got the food ready for my family to come over and have lunch for Moira’s party. The food we had is chops, chicken, sausage, and potato salad.  

I got the decoration out of my mums room and put them outside. My mum was blowing the balloons and I stuck them on the fence with tape. I stuck the balloons up on our mailbox so Moira’s friends know where our house is.

My dad brought me a card from the warehouse and he told me and Braxton to write a card for Moira so we did. When I was making a birthday card for Moira I put stickers on and wrote something nice to her about her birthday.

I felt really happy because I got to go to Moira’s birthday and meet all of her friends that are coming. I enjoyed Moira’s birthday because we got to play in the shooting room and eat some cake.

Our Film Festival - The News Article group.

In term 3, Mr Scott and Miss Mclachlan my teachers have thought about making a film festival for our class and we had to go in groups. My group is Mikayla, Faith, Shanarnia and myself and we all had fun together. We are doing the News Hub but we had to change it so we called it the News Article.

We were struggling making the movie but then we got some help from the teachers and they gave us some ideas. When the teacher gave us some ideas I had an idea and I told my group and they used my idea. I was very proud of myself.

Please leave a comment and please say something positive, thoughtful and helpful.

My Film Festival.

This term we have been working on our Film Festival. My group is doing the News Hub but we called it the News Article. And what we are doing for the News Article is we are going to talk about what happened at HPS. We also have made a invitation so you guys can come and watch our movies on September 22nd 2016 at 12pm and I hope I will see you guys there.

My Space chimp writing.

W.A.L.T: Write a narrative.

Me,the only space chimp in space.

In 1961 the rocket ship was going to blast off from 3, 2, 1. My name is Connor and I’ve been told to be sent in space for 65 years. Now everything was silent and I’m old and wrinkly and so tired. My partner Jr gave me a picture of him and myself so I can remember the adventure we did together. Then I was still nervous because I might not survive in my rocket because my rocket is not strong and it's old and dusty. Then I heard a beeping sound and it was my rocket and I didn’t know what to do so I just left it alone.

I was still travelling in space and it was beautiful and it looked really pretty from above earth and the stars looked like sparkles and it shines really bright in my face. Then I saw earth and it was spinning really slow like the planet. While back in 1961 all of the chimps said that I was so precious like a diamond to them.

While I was in space there was still no air, but I could still breath because I’m still in my rocket.

There was a sunshine that lit up in my face and I am very cold but now I’m hot. I have survived in space lucky me. Then there was a yellow shiny juicy light shone in my face and I was shaking and terrified because I might not survive when I land then KaBang!! Terra firma.

Suddenly I landed on solid ground and that was earth and I got out of my pod and I saw nobody there and the place looks terrible and horrifying and so destroyed because there were some people that had some big weapons and started smashing and crushing the whole town and all of the other good people started moving overseas. Then I got sad because I think my partner Jr was here but the bad people came so they went to live overseas.

Then I heard someone talking to me like

“Hello anyone there?”

I said “Yes someone is here and it is me".

Then he said “What's your name?” Then I said

“ My name is Connor and I am a chimp” Then he got surprise.

Then he started talking again and he said

“Is that you Connor because I know you're a chimp and I had a chimp as my friend before”

Then I said

“ What's your name?” Then he said “Jr” then I said “It is you because I had a friend named Jr. And know we found each other.  

The End

My Fia Fia night.

My Fia Fia night.

I went to the Fia Fia night yesterday at the Hornby High School auditorium we had to be there by 5:30 and we started at 6:00.

We had to get dress up into our lava lavas and we had to wear a white t shirt and put some on those little white feathers in our hair to make us pretty.

Then we had to go and sit down on the floor in the auditorium and waited for our turn to do our seva which in Samoan seva means dance.

I enjoyed watching Gilberthorpes School perform. They had candles and I liked it when the two boys lifted up the girl in their dance.

I wasn’t nervous because I had performed at Fia Fia night last year. I remembered all my moves and had a really good time.

The food afterwards was really yummy. I enjoyed the Chop Suey best. I didn’t get home until 8:30pm so I was later to bed.

My worst walking day ever.

My worst walking day ever

                        By Anneleise

                                                                  

W.A.L.T: recall  events through the eyes of an animal.

It was another sunny day at the African Savannah, and it was hot. We need some clouds and rain for once. It was awesome December because we started the migration. I was very happy because my dad just started being the big bull. I was feeling so great because I finally started migration.   

I was walking down the river bank with my family. My dad was horrified because he saw the lions getting ready to get him and my family. I was feeling frightened because my dad was horrified that he smelled the lions. I heard the lions roaring at me because they wanted me for their delicious lunch.

Suddenly the lions were chasing me because they want me for their lunch and I felt so scared. I could taste the feeling in my mouth that I was going to be eaten, but I wasn’t. On my body I felt so crushed because I had a lot of scratches on my face and body because the lion had sharp claws. When I got caught by the hungry lions it was really scary and it was like ‘Bam’ because she jumped on me and scratched me. Then I saw the crocodile, I saw his razor sharp teeth and it was really big and scary. The lions were really scary because I could see their eyes flashing at my eyes like they were going to eat me. They played tug of war with me. The lions won and dragged me out of the discussing water and pushed me so hard on the ground. Suddenly I could feel the stomping on the ground made by my herd who were coming to rescue me. The herd was kicking the lions and pushing the lions away to get me back. The herd got me back for good because the lions are gone forever.

When I got rescued by my whole family I was very proud of them because I was worried that I could have been killed. When they were chasing me I was shaking because they had very sharp claws and very dribbly mouths. When they were chasing me it was scary because I thought they were going to get my family instead. The crocodile came and popped out of the water and bit me so hard that his teeth cracked. When the crocodile bit me, he was playing tug a war with me and the lions won so thats how I escaped.

So now I’m finally free from the enormous battle of the Kruger and now I’m finally free for once. I feel soooo happy because I am out and with my lovely family.

A trip to Orana park

 
A trip to Orana Park.

Yesterday on the 12th of may me and my class went to Orana park to learn about Adaptations. My favourite part was the giraffes because we get to feed them green leaf’s. The giraffes are yellow and brown and they have purple sunblock on their tongues because they get burned. Giraffes are tall and the have long tongues to grab the leafs. My second favourite part was the tigers because one of them was walking back and forwards and there color skin is orange and black stripes.
