Limerick about gentleness

There once was man who was gentle

But he was quite judgemental

He thought he was funny

So he tried a joke out on a bunny

Then he gave the bunny a lentil

Wacky web tale - Carlos #2

Goooooal!

Only four minutes left, and the score was tied 100, 10000 to 100, 10000. “Get in there,borrie!” cried Coach burger. “I'm counting on you to help us win the game.”

I grabbed my lucky dog and jumped onto the field. What luck. I got the dog right away and raced past three opponents. The crowd was growling. I kicked the dog right at the goal. “ahhhhhhhhh!,” I missed! The crowd became silent. I spotted queen and pascal in the stands looking very disappointed.

The other team had the dog with only two minutes left — that is until I intercepted it! Iran toward the goal and smashed the dog right into the net. “Goooooal!” screamed the announcer.

The crowd was slurping wildly. “Hooray for borrie! borrie! borrie! borrie!”

Then my alarm clock woke me up for school.

A New Sport

Luke and I decided to try out the newest sport at clevedon. It's called silly hat. The object of the game is to kick a(n) silly hat all the way to the end of the field. Every time you do, the fans yell “abracadabra!” and you get 1000000 points. The person with the most points wins.

Luke started and kicked the hat halfway down the field. What a shot! Then it was my turn. I picked up the hat, took aim, and missed completely. I felt so smelly! I tried again, and this time I kicked the hat all the way to the end of the field. The fans in the stands hollered “abracadabra!” I won the game!

Now I am the champion of clevedon! I didn't want Luke to feel badly, so I treated Luke to a trip to papa jacks for a(n) chocolate sundae with alcohol on top!

Summer Fun

Every summer, people head to Lake Maritha near Auckland. There are so many things to do at the lake. Lots of people snorkel, hoping to catch a glimpse of the clever Bottle nose Dolphins that live in the lake.

On Saturdays, people have swimming relay races. Each team has 3 members. Swimmers carry Beach balls that are passed from one team member to the next. The winning team is awarded Lollies and Medals. Lots of people come to watch the races. They cheer on teams by shouting, “SUMMER!”

After the races, people paddle their friends around the lake. Then everyone comes back to shore for a picnic of Mango sandwiches and Coconut sundaes. Someone usually plays the music while people eat.

People are sad when the summer ends. But everyone looks forward to the next summer at Lake Maritha when they can snorkel above the clever Bottle nose Dolphins, swim for prizes of Lollies and Medals, and paddle their friends .

Burp!

abracadabra had everything a(n) dog could ask for. He had colours food, a big, loud bed, and the harford family to look after him.

One morning abracadabra woke up. “I'm hungry!” he said. He went down to the bedroom but everyone in the harford family was still asleep. “I guess I'll have to find my own breakfast,” he said.

abracadabra went outside and barked down the street. On the sidewalk, he saw a(n)anoying tree. “Gulp!” Down went the tree. “Not bad!” said abracadabra.

Next, abracadabra headed for the park. There he found a pair of ears just sitting on a bench. “Gulp! Gulp.” Down went the ears. “Mmmm, cerly!” said abracadabra.

abracadabra was feeling very nosie as he skipped over to a video store. There he saw some tasty video games. “Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!” abracadabra swallowed mincrat and mavle superheros whole.

“RUN !!!!!!! It must be time to go home,” said abracadabra. He flipped back home and up the stairs to his loud bed.

“Breakfast! Time for breakfast, abracadabra!” called Mrs. harford.

“I don't feel very well,” groaned abracadabra. “It must have been those strawberries I ate for supper last night.” Burp!

Wacky web tales by Carlos

We were using Wacky web tales today for ALL. Here is my story:

The Beach

Hooray! Summer is finally here, and that means we can go to the beach! Today, my family is going to Clevedon Beach, and I can bring a friend with me. I decide to invite my best friend Toto. I know toto will want to go with us. She thinks going to the beach is crazy!

We start our beach day by watching the sunrise, and then eating breakfast at Uncle Carlos's Pancake Hut. I always get lolly flavored pancakes.

After breakfast we fall the waves, go pushing for seashells, and wrote a sandcastle. Then we eat the lunch we packed for the beach. It's my favorite—apple sandwiches. The only time apple sandwiches are not so zomome is when you drop them in the sand.

By 6am, everyone's had enough of the beach. But clevedon Beach is fun at night, too! There is a really screaming boardwalk. It's always crowded with people. Would you believe we saw my teacher miss thomas there, eating a huge banana split?

There are a lot of cool shops on the boardwalk. You can get a little hermit cat, but make sure your mom and dad say it's okay! My favorite store is the jewelry store. toto and I each buy a rope bracelet that will writing when it gets wet. Pretty pointy!

By 8:00, we're all ready to head home. I usually fall asleep on the ride home. I can't wait to go to clevedon Beach again.

ECCS

Yesterday I went to ECCS on the bus. Once we got there we got our tarpolian up and waited for the year fives to start. When the years 5 girls started, the boy year fives had to wait for a while. Then it was us. I was nervous to start. The girl years 6's went and the year 6 boys had to wait for awhile. Then it was the start and we were off. I had a good start but I came out too fast and I was tied with another guy. Then when we got to the hill the guy that was tied with me dropped behind and I had a decent lead. Then this other guy came flying through and he just got in front of me. We came off the final straight and the guy took his shirt off  and I thought 'show off'. As we were coming in I was so tired I could barely move anymore but I kept going and I just made 2nd place. I barely could move at the end. We watched the rest and went back. Caleb got 6th place and everybody was so tired but  we seemed to make the bus loud as on the way back.

The Great Wall Of China

Have you ever wondered why China's population is so massive? Well it's all because of the Great Wall of China. 

The Great Wall of China was built by slaves of China. They were forced to leave their homes by the King Qin Shi Huang to build it without pay, which means they can be conspired as slaves. Many of them died due to over-exhaustion, diseases and other factors and when they lifted huge stones that were obviously not of their strength to carry. After they died, the workers were buried in pits around the Great Wall. No person was buried in the Great Wall. A decomposing body inside the wall itself would have caused the wall to deteriorate and fall apart. Many never say their loved ones again. However, Qin Shi Huang was wise to build the Great Wall as the ruthless Mongolians, the Chinese' enemies at that time, could have invaded China easily and killed many more people that anyone could have imagined. 

Several walls were being built as early as the 7th century BC; these, later joined together and made bigger and stronger, are now collectively referred to as the Great Wall. Especially famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang.

Originally the wall was constructed as a barrier against invaders, such as the Manchus, who were upsetting the known world at one period. Watchtowers were built at regular intervals along the Great Wall and could be up to 40 feet tall. They were used as lookouts and fortresses as well as for housing garrisons of troops and stockpiled supplies. They were also signal stations, where beacons, smoke, or flags were used for messages.Today it is a tourist attraction. 

The Great Wall is 8 metres tall and 5.5 metres wide. It is 13,171 miles long and was made from materials such as stone, brick, tamped earth, wood, and other materials. The cost of this giant structure in 2013 would be $260 billion. But at that time it cost no money at all as the emperor Qin Shi Huang used slaves and paid them no money. 

The Great Wall has often been compared to a dragon. In China, the dragon is a protective divinity and is synonymous with springtime and vital energy. The Chinese believed the earth was filled with dragons which gave shape to the mountains and formed the sinew of the land.

I hope you have learnt more about the Great Wall of China.

The bad news 2010

On Sunday 26th of June there was a big bad storm that hit Hunua. Thunder, lighting, hail and wind all night in the morning me and dad woke up early to feed the new born baby cow. I turned around and I stood there still pointing at the big bank.

My dad sore it to it was the big rain pushed the bank and the road was nearly damage because half the bank was gone it was spread out all over the paddock it nearly squashed the cows and the horse. Well I mean it was in the same paddock but... Ho no. We asked the neighbours if they can move it back he said no but. He can bring it closer to the bank.

Then when he was finished doing the Job we gave him a beer and started to build a fence across. On 2013 me,Ethan and Jake played on it with the toy cars then it started to slip again sssshhhhh don't tell my mum she will be mad.

I hope I have made you sit on the edge of your chair because I am this story about me in 2010 well in three more weeks I will do to best on in the world.

Limerick about a panda

There once was a friendly panda 

Who met a girl named Miranda 

They drank some soup 

Then decided to do their 42nd poop

And flew on a plane to Uganda 

When they got to Uganda

They met Bobby the panda

They met a cat

That got scared by a rat

Then the pandas ate the cat on a veranda

Once the pandas had eaten the cat on the veranda 

They found the rat 

And killed it with a baseball bat

The very friendly pandas

Then flew on a plane away from Uganda 

After their trip to Uganda 

Miranda and the bobby the panda 

Decided to get married

Then they got carried

By the very friendly panda who liked Miranda

Humans and Crocodiles

Humans and Crocidiles 

Humans swarm the earth like a bunch of bees

But they still cut down the trees

They have the advantage of the thumb 

Which makes them Number 1

They've been here for a while now 

But not as long as me with the big sharp teeth

I'm the crocidle 

I bite the humans heads off 

They are lucky they've got the big brain

They think I've got one as big as a pea

Which is a coincidence when you see the size of me.

Unicorn Poop

"Hey have you noticed the giant bucket and spade?" Asked Steve. "Yeah, sure did bro." Shouted Jimmy from the other end of the beach. "Uummm, guys, I think we have a problem." Murmured Bob nervously. 

Previously at 11 o'clock... 

"Wanna go to the beach today on our magical flying unicorns?" Questioned Fred (pronounced Flread.). "Yeah! I wanna go fly my unicorn." Exclaimed Bob. "Me too." Answered Steve. "I wanna eat unicorn poop, whoops I mean the icecream kind." "Jimmy!" (Pronounced with three e's, Jimmieee.) chorused Bob, Fred and Steve. So the four flew on their unicorns on the way to the beach while eating unicorn poop. (Unicorn poop is rainbow coloured and flavoured icecream with silver and gold stars for baby unicorns.). ( Unicorn poop is vanilla coloured and flavoured icecream with rainbow coloured sprinkles.). 

On the way to the beach they caught a glimpse of Lazy Larry trying to do a poo. "Larry is lazy, he can't do a poo." Jeered the local bullies in a singsong voice. "FOCUS!" Shouted Steve. "OKAY THEN!" Shouted back Bob from his pet unicorn named Bobby. (Oh sorry, the unicorns names are Bobby, Stevie, Jim and Freddy. It's pretty obvious who owns who. So back to the story.). "Jeez, don't shout Bob." Exclaimed Fred. So... Finally the four got to the beach. 

When the unicorns were tied up and eating each other's poop Bob ran off to look at a red dot in the distance. But Steve had got a head start. "Hey guys, come over here shouted Fred who was already at the red dot. "Hey have you noticed the giant bucket and spade?" Asked Steve. "Yeah, sure did bro." Shouted Jimmy from the other end of the beach. "Uummm, guys, I think we have a problem." Murmured Bob nervously. "Yeah what is it?" Asked Fred glancing over his shoulder. "There's two giant buckets." Shouted Bob. "WHAT!!!" Shouted the three all at once. Huffing and puffing a fat figure came racing down the beach. (Well not exactly racing but you get the point. Now to continue...). It was Lazy Larry. "Hey you four can you come with me, it's urgent?" Asked Lazy Larry. "What is it?" Questioned Fred. "Can you help me do a poo?" Whispered Lazy Larry nervously. "NO WAY!" Shouted all four at once. 

" I mean icecream poo!" Piped up Lazy Larry. "OK?!" Exclaimed a confused Steve. "Let me get this straight, Lazy Larry wants us to help him do a unicorn poo?" Questioned Bob confidently. "Correcto! Now can you four come with me so I can do a unicorn poo." Demanded a very fed up Lazy Larry. 

5 hours later

"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Screamed a very sore and scared Lazy Larry. A giant bucket was on Lazy Larrys front lawn. "What the..." Said a both confused and frightened Jimmy. The four ran in terror out of Lazy Larrys house and back to the beach where their unicorns wher tied up. "Master, master, we saw two giant buckets racing towards Lazy Larrys house. We asked them why and they told us that they were gonna eat you four." Blurted out an extremely frightened Stevie. "Uh oh." The four raced off all eager to destroy the buckets. When the four met up again they each had their own candy weapon. Steve had a chocolate sword, Bob had a bubblegum blaster, Jimmy had a fizzy candy magic wand and Fred had a liquorice whip. The four all raced off to find the buckets that they were hoping to destroy. When they found the buckets they realised they were inside a cave with the water rising rapidly. "We didn't get to say goodbye to our unicorns!" Jimmy cried. 

Meanwhile...

"I want Fred!" Freddy told his friends. "Yeah! I want my master!" Replied Bobby. 

Back in the cave...

BANG! CRACK! SMASH! The giant red buckets had smashed into the back of the cave. THUD! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! An opening suddenly appeared. Then as if by magic a thought struck the four. "Why don't we escape through that opening." So the four hurried along the slightly uphill, dark, damp, low and narrow passage. 

38 tiring, long and damp minutes later...

"I can see light." Croaked a dehydrated Jimmy. "Please say that we are nearly out of this passageway." Pleaded Bob. "I just want to see my darling Stevie." Steve cried out, then burst into tears. 

Meanwhile...

"Hey! look! A secret passage!" Shouted out Jim. "Let's go down it." Stevie exclaimed excitedly. So the four unicorns galloped off down the passage which their masters were in. 

Back to the buckets and humans...

"Treasure!!!" Screamed all four at once. As they were gazing at the glimmering gold their four pet unicorns came trotting in breathlessly. "YAY! Master, we thought we had lost you forever." Panted Bobby. "WE-ARE-GOING-TO-EAT-YOU!" Beeped the giant robotics as they came crashing in. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!" Screamed Fred but then calmly told the others... "Grab some of the treasure though."

368 police sirens later...

"Are you fellas OK?!" Asked chief constable donut head. "Yup!" Answered the four and their talking pet unicorns in unison. "So tell me, where's the treasure?" Chief constable donut head asked but then hurriedly told everyone, "Don't worry the giant robotic buckets have been destroyed and sent back to planet robot." He then asked the group of eight, "So what about the treasure?" But they just replied, "That's our little secret."

The end!

Structures

In term two we were learning about structures and forces. As part of our learning we had to design a new structure. Here are some of the models we made.

Rainbow writers

Falcon flap flap flapped flapety flap. Then he saw a creature crawling through the forest. Falcon flue acros the windy swirling sky. He opened his claws like a shark. His mouth like a vampire then suddenly something pushed him back? I was the swirling sky going the other way. Falcon checked if he was still brighter then the sun. Then the he checked if he was as colourful as a peacock. But sadly the mud was stuck to falcon. But when he flew up in to the sky, the mud flicked off falcon.

Hay truck

I was carrying hay though the country side when the hay over to the right then the left. It felt like there was a massive earth qacke rocking me side to side it was scary. Then the cows and all the farm animals stated following me and it was annoying as fudge cakes. the animals stopped behined my truck. When I hopped out of the truck I looked at the clouds, I was walking slower than a tortse where the cows were. Then I looked at the back of my truck. The hay started to escape!. It was dark and I could not see anything. It is as hairy as a cat and cows can crap. The hay was holding hands my truck is as rusty asa trailer. I was moving with the flow and drive ing with a stearing wheel. The hardest thing about today was pushing the hay back in, as it looked like a chimpanzee.

Rainbow writers Alyssa's sunset

Last night I saw a colourful, bright, orange sunny sky. It is as colourful as a rainbow. It was also as bright as the sun on a hot sunny day. The cloud were swayng past my eyes and head.the twin trees twisting together. I opened my window and started breathing the fresh air. Then I sat on my window ledge and watched the pretty sun go down. And listened to the birds chirping past.

Rainbow writers by Tama

One day I went to the zoo I saw an chimp. He was holding a blue sheet over him and he liked hiding in the sheet. And he was hairy and had a dark face and looks like a orangutan and it is grassy around him. And he is as warm as a bed. And happy as the sky. He is happy holding and hiding under the sheet and his nose was moving. Then he went to a little shack then he was sitting down happily and he wriggled. And that was the end of my zoo adventure.

Do you know what an orangutan does?

Sunset-Maritha

Last night I saw a colourful,bright sunset.it was as colourful as a rainbow. The twin trees were twisting and swaying together. The birds were flapping their wings and chirping. I was breathing in the lovely fresh air. Then I sat outside and watched the orange sunny sun go down .

My very own birthday

June the 21st it was my party. And I invited Azland,Jake,Harry,Riley,carlos and me Reuben Claridge. We all went to the Miranda hot springs. Carlos had been in love with the big pillow he hurt him salfe.

What we would take out of this world.

nerd and dum

Once upon a time there was a man named nerd and he was a bit of a retard but he had a crush on someone her name was don.nerd and don were totally different nerd was a nerd and don was a popular person but theres a chance anyway back to the story about nerd.

Nerd meet a guy named dum and guess what dum is not good at anything except for rugby so they ended up being friends and dum did all of nerds sports stuff and nerd did dums exams and stuff it worked out perfectly intill.

Nerd was going to america with his rugby team and dum had a spelling bee and nerd was really bad at rugby and dum I cant explain how bad he is at spelling well actually ask him to spell anything he will get it wrong gurantee.

When they got to nerds house nerd started helping dum with his spelling he asked him to spell a and guess what he spelt it z then he asked how do you spell z he said a. 

When they got to school guess who was there fatso and guess what fatso weighed yup you got it 1 ton is that even normal for a 8 year old but he was really good at rugby cause he would just run over people and also he was good at spelling because he would just fart and he'd win by being the only contestant did you know he won the spelling bees from when he was born 2006 and that was all by default and he was coming to the spelling bee to.

As dum enterd the stage his heart was pumping as the judges introduced him the judge said out on the right is duck duck goose and joining him is fatso and to the left is john jonstondon and right beside him is d....u.....m aren't you dum anyway lets start ok first word for dum is follow ok is it g.....o.....l and that is wrong now fatso you word is jam j.....a....m correcto now john your word is smell ok s....y....y is that right no its wrong and john went so crasy he burnt the building down but a few seconds later everybody was gone except dum and the judge so the judge said congratulations you won 

And the next day at school fatso came in saying I won the spelling bee then john came in and said no i won and then dum said no even the judge said I won sore losers then john said DONT SAY THAT and what did he do he burnt the building down.

The next day there was no school but those three were all there and they started having a fight and dum said i hate you fatso and john and john was like my name is rage i changed it so what did he do he burnt dum and thats the end of the story 

Jigsaw

On the weekend...

This previous weekend my family went down to Taupo to see my Grandparents. When we got there my mum and I went out to play tennis. This was very enjoyable because the wind wasn't blowing so it was easy to hit the ball. It was also so much fun because we usually have to play on the driveway at home so it was much better to play on a proper court.

 Later in the evening we went out to dinner. We went to the Mid-Christmas buffet at the hotel. My favourite food there was the mini hotdogs and the ice cream. We then headed out to watch the All Blacks. It was a very tight game and everybody (even the English) was nervous.

The next day Nan and I went out and did some golf putting. I somehow beat her (maybe it was because she gave me an extra shot!) My Mum and I played some more tennis and this time Dad joined in. It ended with me hitting a high shot out of the court and over the fence! We then went out and played some mini golf. I wasn't playing nearly as well as when Nan and I were playing. But I eventually found my shape and got on the leaderboard for the top boy (only because nobody else was there!)

 After that we went out to try to get a hole in one in the pontoon. Everybody reckoned my shot was good (it was fantastic compared to some of the women doing it. One of them hit the sand!) Next we went out to lunch at Robert Harris. I got bored since all they were talking about was politics! Finally it was time to go. We said our goodbye's and we headed back up to Auckland.

This was a trip to remember because I had so much fun.

Pirate Us 2

Piarate Us 2 (a parody of zombieland)

It's a zombie apocalypse! Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Ok I bet your wondering how this zombie apocalypse started so sit back it's a long story. 

y'know in pirate us one how the bad guys died from the volcano. Well that volcano contained flech from a golden tiger that once fell in the volcano. But if you mix soft golden tiger flesh with that volcano it makes zombie mixture. And since the bad guys touched lava from that volcano they became zombies. It also allows them to come up to graves and rise zombies from them. Thats enough you should know about the zombies. Wait almost forgot Jon, Harry and Ethan gave up being pirates so they changed their names to less pirate like names so they changed their names to Ethan-Jo Jo Jon-Felix and Harry kept his name for some strange reason.

Also Harry, Ethan, Felix, Banana and everybody else has been suviving for months Harry, Jo Jo  and Felix are lucky cause they all have shotguns.(Banana has a mini one)Now the story of them surviving.

 It was one night at about 12:00pm and they really needed to go toilet, but there's just one huge danger! Which is in the toilets, zombies hide in toilets ( not in the actual toilet, just in the bathroom and can attack people who go in there. Now back to the story. They were just about to open the door to the bathroom when, BOOM, the bathroom door crashed opened, and they got the fright of their lives... A running zombie! It chased them all around then another running zombie joined them! Then Felix had an great idea "how about we split up and I'll meet you guys at that car over there and we'll drive away. "Great idea" said Jo Jo and Harry. So they split up and about two minutes later they were all in the car (all in the front seat). And to warn you all, always check the back seat, zombies are smart enough to climb in your back seat and while your not in the car, and when'll get in... BOOM! they get you. 

So while they drove away a zombie popped up and gave them a massive fright. Then they crashed into a wall and they went unconscious but the zombie got them and they all turned into zombies and then the whole world did.( don't worry this is story world )Ha just kidding they wore seatbelts and the zombie flew out of the front window of the car. O zombie you really need to wear your seatbelt.( well he learnt a lesson) They thought it was dead. But the zombie crawled up to them but Harry shot it dead with his gun. Luckily they suvived but they had no food no water and no toilet.

 The next day they were walking around the airport where a lot of dead cars were, then they heard a noise, it was a car driving towards them, but not fastly. The car stopped, the car door opened, they pointed their guns, it was a man!(with a pretty cool ride) The man said "hop in" so they did.

"Huhhh, a toilet!" Said Harry.

 They all said "who are you"? "The names jake" jake replied. "Where are you taking us"? They said, "You'll see" jake said. So they waited, until they saw a truck on the side of the road, a candy truck, they thought "why did he take us to a candy truck"?" Why did you take us here"? Asked Jo Jo "These candys are my favourite food" said jake. Now on the count of three lets bash the door down. One two three! CRASH!

"OH damit!" Said Jake. "Why did you say that?" said Felix. "Because their flippin mini pies!" Shouted Jake, "well on the bright side at least we have food" said Harry. "And their warm too" said Jo Jo. "But I love those"said Jake.

 Then they drove to a supermarket. "Why did you take us here?" Said Harry. "The worlds not going to kill the zombies by its own, that's why we're going to kill all the zombies."said Jake.

So jake showed Harry, Banana, Jo Jo and Felix his weapons in the boot of the car. He showed them shears, chainsaw a machete and a mini sub machine gun. "you've got pretty cool weapons" said Jo Jo , "of course" said jake. So Jake gave them a weapon each, Harry got the chainsaw, Jo Jo got the machete, Felix got the shears and banana got the mini sub machine gun.

So they went inside and it was pretty empty until a zombie popped up from the corner of a shelf. And banana shot it. "Well that was fast", said Harry. 

Boom! Two zombies jumped out from the shelfs." I was wrong" said Harry  "JEEZ zombies you gave me a fright," said Felix. As he killed them with the shears, "ok these shears are awesome! Felix shouted. Then two zombies came around from the corner, "CHAINSAW TIME" screamed Harry. As he wasted the zombies with his chainsaw. "My turn" said Jo Jo as he chopped the heads of two zombies. There were no more zombies left in the supermarket. 

"YEAH!" everyone said.

 "We've almost killed all the zombies" said Jake, "how do you know"? said Harry. "On my how many zombies are alive tracker" said jake. "Ok" said Jo Jo. Then they hopped in the car and Jake said "the last destination..." said jake " is Disneyland" "by the way theme park zombies only come in the night not the day."

"So they all got machine guns with infinity ammo and went to a huge Ferris wheel. Then jake said, "first Check that if you shoot it once it goes and if you shoot it again it will stop" so they hopped inside, shot the machine when they got to the top and waited ten minutes then millions of zombies arrived in one

 "SHOOT" they all screamed. This was the biggest thing in there lives. The risk, the skill and the braveness. And so they just keep shooting, and shooting and shooting. And now well they shoot we shall have a song. ( to the tune of Get lucky)"And we've come to far to give up on this shoot. So let's raise our guns and our stuff to the stars. Dann dann, I'm up all night to shoot guns, Your up all night to shoot guns, We're up all night to shoot guns, There up all night to get bloody. I'm up all night to shoot guns, your up all night to shoot guns, were up all night to shoot guns, there up all night to get bloody, there up all night to get bloody, sometimes we get to launch zombies, with my tracker thingy, this zombies name is Timmy, and he's about to get bloody, he's about to get bloody, we've almost got victory, hey Harry shoot that last zombie.( robotic voice ) we've now got victory, so let's celebrate happily yeah. And let's start a party. And guys look the zombies are turning back to people again, that's great cause there's no more zombies, that's great cause there's no more zombies.❌1 (guitar)dewn ❌32 

 "WHOO HOO" screamed everyone as the zombies turned back to people again. Everyone was happy because now there were no more zombies. And this was the end of a ( I said a ) adventure. And when I ment a, I didn't mean all adventures!

My plan of the Leaning Tower of Pisa

WALT: to plan a report

I was researching about the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Here is my plan.

By Nathaniel

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time a slightly eye changing story in story land there were 3 very dumb witches who always got muddled up into which story they were from. The names of these witches were Candy Witch from Hansel and Gretel, The Wicked Witch of the West from the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the Grand High Witch from the witches. One day the witches got so muddled up they just got muddled up. The Grand High Witch thought she was from Hansel and Gretel, The Wicked Witch of the West thought she was from The Witches and the Candy witch thought she was from the Wonderful wizard of Oz. The story land fairy said to them "If you can't remember which story you are from by tomorrow you will set a spell over the whole land and you will turn into la la loopsy lands slaves." The witches soon discussed a plan and set off to the library. When they got there they found out that the library was closed for repairs. So after hours of moaning and complaining to the builder they went to la la loopsy land. As they arrived they saw doll faces everywhere. They were just about to enter when a loud voice boomed over the loud speaker. "Halt! What do you think you're doing?" But before the witches could answer the guard questioned them. "What are you doing without button eyes?" "Umm, umm. Well we don't know." Said the witches. The guard who's name was Sergeant Buffalo Face (who's face looked like a buffalo) soon complained to the witches and told them that they would have to get buttons sewn in place of their eyes. The witches gasped and went off crying to their mummy (who's name was Maleficiant) who told them that they deserved to get buttons for eyes. The 3 witches were soon sent off to deliver a letter to Sergeant Buffalo Face. When they got there the Sergeant read the letter and took them off to jail. Here's what the letter said...

Dear Sergeant Buffalo Face,

Three witches called Candy Witch, The Wicked Witch of the West and The Grand High Witch need their eyes to be replaced with buttons.

Sincerely Maleficiant. 

The Sergeant sent for the queen stitcher and asked her to give the witches buttons for eyes. 673,478,832 hours later the witches were strapped down ready to have buttons for eyes. Bumblebee the queen stitcher started the complicated process of changing the witches eyes to buttons. Very soon the fairy of story land came along and told the witches that they are going to become la la loopsy lands slaves (because the witches were so dumb they still didn't know which story they were from). So 0.1 of a second later they were turned into la la loopsy lands slaves. 

THE END

The long process of doing jobs for my dad:)

                     The long process of doing jobs for my dad  

One long hot summers day I went to work with my dad. In the big ute ready           to make some hay bales. My dad out spied while I'm sitting in the passengers seat waiting and waiting. He comes back drives a bit and … where in a paddock. 

Dad hops out again to click some joints into the tractor he transfers him and me into the tractor where ready to roll. Where going round in circles balling hay bales.

 about 10 minutes later it's time to pick up the bales and put them on the blue shining ute. He going around and around until … his ute can't fit I between the bales. He asks me to role over all the bales on the outside row I gaze up and the men at the. Top they were all drinking beer he said to me I'll give you $10 I said yes. As I push all the bales over dads following me. I'm in jeans I'm feeling really hot I take my jacket off and carry on. As I finish I jump in the car. 

We go and join the men at the top that are having a drink and I had a lemonade. Over all I learnt what it's like to have responsibilities I also found out what a hard job my dad has and I can understand his stress levels.

AG day animals

Many people probably don't know that we can all now get our AG day animals. Isn't that exciting! Aren't you excited? Because I know I am, a lot! Tell me in a comment in what your planning on getting or hope to have for AG day. Well I know that I will defiantly be getting a lamb from my Uncle Dean in the Waikato. I will probably get one a little earlier because his daughters also known as my cousins Briar,Gemma and Erica have gone to collage.So they now have no AG day. Instead of getting one after all three of them. Now I can get one first because I'm the only one needing one this year. If I could Get a lamb of my choice it would have to be a little cute lamb with little brown spots in places all over it.

Good luck by Brooke Hamilton

The day our letters came....

We have our first letters back from our buddies at Point View school. We are excited to hear all about them.

Buddy reading with room 15

We are buddy reading with a different class each day this week for book week. Yesterday we read with room 14, today we read with room 15. It is cool reading with the juniors.

Bruce Potter visit

Bruce came to visit our school as part of book week. He has illustrated lots of books from cartoon books to more realistic books like the whale rider. Last year he wrote his own book and song- Penny the prolific pooing cow. Bruce starts his stories by writing it as a song. Music helps him write.  Lots of us have read lots of his books like Kaha the Kea. 

This year he has started creating a doodle bug book with doodle bug diving into this doodles. Bruce asked us for some ideas and he showed us how easy it was to create a doodle out of them. 

 

The doodle he created with our ideas.

Green day

Today was our first green day at school we had lots of fun as a class doing aproject around the school room 7 was on the field putting bark that had been wiped out of the senior playground and on the grass. The whole school came to school dressed in green to represent the colour of the environment. Most classes did there project after the roll there were lots of different things that were needed to be done like picking up rubbish on the fence line and raking the leaves of the top courts and in front of room 1,2 and 3. Most children had fun doing there project and they knew that it was doing something for the school.

Cyber busters

Last week we went to watch cyberbusters show on cyber bullying. The girls took on different characters to show us that what we put on the net may hurt others. 

House Chants

Brooke and Olivia

On Friday, we had our school house chant competition. We have spent the last two weeks practicing chants and skits. On the day we had to dress in our house colours and costumes parade around the block with a chant. Then we all went into the hall so Mrs Schumacher could draw out which house was going first.

Henry and friends

Weka was drawn first and had to perform their skit and chant. They all looked like Zombies. Next was Kaka and Aria looked like an awesome Kaka all dressed up in costume. Kiwi was next and their chant was based on the song Happy. Lastly Tui got to have their turn. Their skit was a circus act with clowns, mimes, gymnasts and magicians. 

Carlos

The judges then went out to deliberate over who won. This year's winners were Tui. They won the house chant cup for 2014.

Buddies

This year we are buddies with Room 30 at Point View school. We have worked hard drafting and publishing letters to our buddies. Here is a snapshot of what some of our letters looked like.

 

We hope Room 30 enjoy reading our letters and we hope to hear back from them soon.

Shellfish Monitoring

This term we could not go shellfish monitoring at Kawakawa bay as there had been bones found when some workers were digging for drains.

Instead we had Auckland council come and talk to us about the different types of dolphins and whales in the Hauraki Gulf and we participated in a play about sediment and how if we remove all the trees and plant life from beside rivers and streams it causes lots of dirt to wash downstream and kill our cockles and shellfish.

Learning in Room Seven.

Swimming

This term we are having swimming lessons in our school pool. We are having fun learning new skills and how to help save someone in trouble.
