Safe room redesign

This term our class is redesigning the safe room so that we have a personalized room to work in.

I am going to share my idea. I have a kitchen and some desks in my design. I can't wait to see how our safe room turns out like.

The school Gala

On Sunday 8th of October the school gala was held and was a great success.

There were mini jeeps, abseiling, cupcake decorating, mystery jars, cultural food, candy floss, bouncy castles, touch rugby tournaments, live performances, dump the teacher, raffles, lollies, send ounce hand toys, and a smash palace.

I was in the touch tournament and we won 4 out of 4 games!

I did the mystery jar for 2$. They had six options with numbers on them. I got to chose a dice and then roll it and I won what ever number it landed on. I won lollies, a game, party balloons and water balloons.  

It was all so fun and I can't wait until next gala!

Class Dance Off

Last week our class did a dance off.

We got told to get into groups of four and then to make a small dance.

After five minutes two groups at a time got to have a dance off against each other.

At the end you would cheer for what group that ou wanted to go through and so the group with the loudest crowed of supporters would go through to the finals.

My dance group, The Sassy Sinyatas, got into the finals which hopefully will happen soon. 

I definitely want to have another class dance off.

My School Holidays

During the holidays I did heaps of fun stuff.

I jumped at Flip City the trampoline park, I adventured in Inflatable World, I danced at a birthday party, I concentrated while playing mini golf with my Nana and Brother in fielding. I also admired my nails as I got them professionally done with Gel nail polish, I swam tackling and pushing with my friends and I relaxed eating fish and chips at the beach with my family.

I did so much but hanging out with my Nana playing mini golf had to be my highlight.

Their was about 18-20 stations and I could never chose my favourite one.There were giant boots, large brick towers and small hotels. The best part about it was that I won 86-93 (who ever gets the smallest score wins and by the way my Nana watched she didn't play.) Hanging out with my Nana was fun for we got Mc Donald's, I meet my 6 week old cousin and like I said before we did some mini golf. 

I really hope we do it again. I had a great holiday and can't wait for the next.

The Trip to The Mind Lab

Finally after all the hard work making our products for our businesses we had enough money to go to The Mind Lab! Yesterday 21.9.15 we made our way by bus and car to Petone, Wellington. 

Just under 50 kids in one bus for 2 hours had got us determined to get to The Mind Lab quick so when we arrived we couldn't have been more happy. 

Yesterday was a great day and we had so much fun and learnt so much more things.

The activities we did were; 3D printing, Animation, Robotics and Technoligy and Art.

Here are some photos of what we got up to there:

    #selfie Nothing better to do in a bus than taking selfies with friends!

This is Melcom he and another person was taking us and helping us with all activities.

This Melcom and the lady, Benedict, that was helping him take us.

First we went to the 3D printing this is Melcom telling us how it works.

We had to design the print the way we want it to come out.

This is my design. I added a donut because they are yummy.

Next we made cardboard cars with CD wheels a battery powered mother so it moves, 2 straws, 2 squers and so colorful pipe cleaners. Our one failed so we couldn't race it😔😏.

We also did animation. Mine was about a blob that melted and another one of mine was about acid rain in the kitchen they also failed like the car did. In this room we also used paper tin foil and wire to control Mario from the game Mario on the computer instead of using the keyboard it was very cool.

And last of all people made Swiggle Bots that are made from plastic cups, colored pens, rubber bands and a motor.

Sadly it was time to say goodbye the best time for the last photo!!

Making our businesses

Our group is confident our business will be successful!!!!! I wonder if we will do well ?!?! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Ice skating

       In the holidays I went ice skating with my 2 cousins!

       I found the ice skating pretty fun and easy!

        I went back again and found it was harder to ice skate in a rink that is more like snow becuase                the first time there it had been raining and it was icy like black ice 

My highlight of term 2 at school

    My friends playing My Monopoly while I took the photo!! ( Bella-Rose on the left then Maggie on the         right then Lily next to Maggie )

   My friends playing twister..... I got out😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂

    Me and my 3 friends taking a while to do selfies on photobooth 

   Me and 2 of my friends ( Maggie on the left of me and Lily on the right of Maggie )

My highlight of term 2 was our class funday! We got to drees up in our pjs and bring some snacks for the movie we watched which was "spacejam", and we also brought our sleeping bags and pillows to school. Some of us also brung some board games so I brought my new "My Molopoly" to school and played it with my bffs. The next day was my birthday so the funday was almost like the classes present to me!!!!!!!!

I really hope that we can do this again this year!!

Our play dough experiment

At the moment at school us the seniors, are researching  the solar system. This is what I estimated about the sizes of each planet!!

A booklet to give aliens an idea of planet Earth

Welcome booklet

Hello, welcome to Planet Earth.

This booklet will tell you about the wonderful planet Earth!

Page 1

Planet Earth

Planet Earth is one of the dwarf  planets.

Earth is a seasonal planet.

It can be warm or cold.

In winter or autumn it's cold but in summer or spring it's warm.

Earth has rocky ground with hills pointing out of the green grassy blanket.

Most of Earth is water so it's full of glorious beaches. On Earth you can find caves full of little bugs that glow in the dark just like the stars scattered in space.

Earth is an ideal place to go for a holiday if you're with a large family or just a small group of friends getting of the couch to have some fun.

Page 2

The Towns

The towns are full of busy humans, some are walking their pet dogs and some are just shopping. The humans are not to eat or play with. The dogs are the same but they get a bit violent. In the shops you need money to buy the objects that you want. You get money from the bank which is located down Sluggish Lane.  In towns you can get food from take away shops, ice cream stands, cafés and restaurants.

Shopping is a fabulous way to keep yourself occupied!

Page 3

The Beaches

The sunny, sandy, warm beach is a fun way to end a hot warm day!

The young alianets will love the water the swimming and the fun.

The adult Aliens will love the sun the sunbathing and the feel of the crunchy sand beneath your three toes. The beach is a nice place to eat fish and chips at the end of the day. We totally recommend you to bring yourself and the kids to the beach on a sunny day.

Page 4

The Hills And Countryside

The hills and countrysides are a nice place to have picnics just like the beach.

If you find a good hill that has a perfect view of the beach then that's a really nice place to have the perfect family picnic or just a romantic date with your lady.

We dearly hope you Aliens enjoy planet Earth and that this booklet has helped you understand more about Earth!

Being a sports leader

 

Every Friday I

I use my middle block time to train the juniors to help them succeed in the cross country! 

They are so cute but don't really under stand how to play stuck in the mud they usually tag some one and then go under them cute ay!

In this photo we are making them go around the out line of wear they can stay inside while playing sea weed

I love coaching them and hope they do well in the cross country race!!

My poem about our cross country

                                                             

                                                            

    Cross country by Holly.P

Crazy supporters yell and scream as we start the race.

Really thick and sticky mud grabbed my sneakers pulling them down.

Over hills and around bends looking at the marvellous view up ahead.

Super tired kids struggle through the track the view left us gobsmacked .

Smelly feet covered in poo leaving traps don't stand on them or slip in the crap.

Cross country runners run proud across the finish line.

Orange vest helpers are thanked and rewarded with tasty sausages covered in tomato sauce .

Up the hill to the finish finally done let's celebrate and cheer

Nacked kids proud of their effort are so loud on the blue

The kids had fun and the parents met up with old friends smiles around the paddock never ends .

Delightful views scattered with sheep the end of the paddocks could never end.

Races start and races end but I was glad that bus had left ( with us inside it ).

Yucky smells filled the bus but none of us were in a rush because the race had finished at last and that was definitely good enough!!!

     

The mud run.

Writing: Free Writing

Persuasive

I jumped into the goo. It was brown and sticky. It wasn’t deep until I took a few more steps.

I waded through a deep pool of muddy water. The suction of the mud wrapped around my legs pulling me down and holding my feet tightly. I shook my feet rapidly setting them free.

Mud oozed through my legs.

The next part was easy. The mud was only up to my knees while before it was up to my chest.

I stepped slowly towards a big man with his name sewed onto the top of his blue t-shirt. I scanned the name on the t-shirt “ Max Atienza “ I said repeating it thinking I know that name. Then I remembered its my old mate. “ HEY MAX OVER HERE” I shouted  making him jump and get mud up to his neck.”Awwww hey mate how are you” he said as I ran towards him reaching out for a man hug.” Fancy I see you here ay “ I chuckled.

The man hug was very muddy and sticky but we are men not chickens.

We set off following the strangers leading us towards the end finding a white flag blowing around.

It was then end. We hoped out and jump into the sea 20 meters away from the mud run. It was cold but nice.

For me I found that it was harder getting out the mud then getting in!!!

Mobile phone

A dark place with trees or other things to hide

A track with a rope or something to follow

Instructions :

step 1.Set the track up you will need something like rope or faint lights in the distance for the people to follow so they aren’t roaming around in the dark by them self.

step 2. Next wait till its dark and make sure they don’t know the track cause otherwise they will see all the spots where you can hide.

step 3. Once its gone dark really dark get the hiders into their spots

( if you are using a mobile phone find a app that can make car crash sounds and ghost or chainsaw sounds to make them freak out )

step 4. Grab all the things you might need e;g mobile phone, gloves to make your hands feel weird or a voice changer app to make you sound scary.
