My School camp to Wellington

On Monday the 23rd at 7:00am we set off to Picton on the train. It was a really fun train ride. When we arrived at Picton we played the pole game. After waiting one hour for the ferry, we waited in line for 40 minutes. On the ferry we played lots of games like minions and some card games. 3 hours later we arrived at Wellington harbour. I had to wait for my bag for a long 10 minutes. Then we made our way to the YHA. We had pizza for tea. On Tuesday we had McDonalds for tea. On Wednesday we had Subway for tea. On Thursday we went to the food court for tea. On Friday we went to Weta Workshop and then went to the airport. We got ready to fly back to Christchurch but the wind was not being helpful so we had 2 flights cancelled and 3 flights delayed, all together we had to wait 7 hours at the Wellington airport! We landed back at Christchurch at 6:45pm. Here is a picture of me and my friend Jesse in front of the Beehive.

Who is Hamish Allan?

This term my class have been doing a project on New Zealand Artists. I chose for my artist Hamish Allan.
I chose Hamish Allan because I really like 1970s art and also I like landscape art. And I just think his art is really interesting.

The Newest Movie Description

In 1765 there was a slimeball it was full of power, and back then when all  people were chickens and chickens as people it was very hard for the chickens to venture on the quest, to discover the all mighty slimeball.
It felt like a ball of slime, it felt like slime because it was slime but not any kind of slime it was the all mighty slimeball, it was hidden in the cave of wisdom, so the human chickens went out on a mission to find the all mighty slimeball to become human once again THE END.

My Long Jump Technique

I think I did well with my take off and my landing.
We are trying to get a really good jump.
We are doing this because we want to be the best we can be at long jump.

Here is what I did for my jump:
1. I did my run up.
2. For my take off I bent my knees for better momentum.
3.For my landing I put my legs forward first and kept balance by putting my arm in front of me.

A tip for the run up for you I would say get as much speed into your run for a better jump. A tip for the take off bend your knees on the middle of the mat. A tip for the landing push your arms and feet forward to get a better jump.

Next time I will work more on my take off and my landing.

Bears in a car THE MOVIE!

Once, when I was walking down an alleyway I heard the most peculiar honk of a car horn. I turned around to see a car packed full of stuffed bears. I thought to myself "The world is a changing place but this, this is ridonkulous!" All of the teddies stared at me until one of them hollered "Ya coming Teddy, I ain't got all day?" I ran up to the old chevrolet and climbed in. It felt quite soft being in a car full of bed time toys. It was a once in a million lifetime opportunity. It was...

My Very First Speech!

This is my speech. I chose this topic because I thought it would be really interesting to work on, and also I wanted to remember what I had to do to live life the fullest. My speech is about living life to the fullest and the main point in my speech is that you should take every opportunity you get. I hope you enjoy my speech.

Writing a Quality Blog Comment

This is my comment on Cust school Room 6 Fair Go ads.

Gus and Jesse's Digi Award!

We entered the DigiAwards. We chose to enter the category 'Music Video'. We took photos, chose a song and sang the whole thing! We learnt that it's difficult to have the right volume with the voice. If I did it again, I would change some of the photos and the angle I shot the photos from. I really liked editing the video.

Ice Skating Winter Fun Day

On Friday 28th August Laura, Bella, Prudence, Cyriss, Te Kakano, Matai and I went to Alpine Ice.

At Alpine ice we had ice skating lessons that we could do if we wanted to although the junior school had to.

They had to because they either didn't know how to skate or needed more practice.

Some funny things on the day was one junior tried to push his little sister over; he ended up pushed himself over with his sister. Another funny thing was my friend Cyriss going really fast and crashed into the wall.

On Friday I learnt how to skate faster, how to stay balanced, and learning from that I didn't fall over at all. My friends and I had a blast, I don't know what I'm doing next year for winter fun day.

On Friday I learnt that if I can ice skate I must be able to rollerblade and roller skate. Overall I had a great day and I hope the rest of my class did at Mt Hutt.

We learnt how to plan a speech. NZSL is important! Asher & Gus It is about why NZSL is important and why you should learn the basics of NZSL!

My Genius Hour Pitch!

100 WC 35

                                         ...But it made my tongue tingle...

Once upon a time there was a blind man, he was very strange and had no friends because people didn't like him despite he had one eye open and one eye sealed shut. But then one day he did something really strange he decided to walk to the prison by himself and tried to walk up to the entrance but instead he walked up to the prison fence and poked his tongue out and made his tongue tingle. After that he found himself asleep in a hospital bed, he was scared and wanted to go home. What will he do next?

ANZAC Inquiry

100 WC

                                                   ...So as she lifted the lid...

Once upon a time there was a musty old jar in a campervan on the side of the road in the 1960's. 10 years later one family were going for a drive in there car and saw the campervan on the side of the road and tried to open the door to get inside and it was unlocked. So  the father went in first and on the bench and saw a jar so as he opened the lid he smelt a funny pumpkin smell. but there was nothing in the jar it must be really old said the father.

PE/Health

Friday 1st may weekly reflection

What went well? Football training because I think I trained really well.

What didn't go well? My groups fitness game (soccer) because we took to long to set up the game.

What will I focus on next week? Next week I will focus on my timing by looking at the board to see what I should be doing.

My first week back-a weekly reflection             

A new thing I have learnt is to make a blog.

I can use this learning in other situations like teaching other people how to make a blog.

This week I've done well with all my work.

Next week I will focus on listening to the teacher.

To do this I will need to look at the teacher so she can tell I'm listening.

100 Word Challenge! #33

                                      But The Ferocious Wind...

I was out in the cornfield driving the go cart and out of nowhere a tornado struck the farm. "I can't find anyone, where are they? I'll look in the barn no they won't be there."
So I went to the cellar to see if they were there, but on the way there the ferocious wind slammed the cellar doors straight into the ground I couldn't hear or see them anywhere. So I went into the house for the last time and went into the cellar from inside. Nuts! They weren't there. "What am I going to do?" I said and I heard a yell coming from the barn, I quickly got into my go cart...

What does it mean to be healthy?

For me being healthy is eating breakfast so I can feel more excited in school.

Another reason for being healthy is to be active so you could join in more finical activities like running biking and other sports. Another reason for being healthy is I won't struggle in my work at school.
