The wonkey donkey

OMG! On Monday at my school trip I found a donkey stuck in a swamp.

Me and my friends pushed him out off the swamp. He had one eye and half a tail. His eye looked creepy so I cover it with an eye patch. But we were still scared because of its tail.

We picked him up and he was able to stand up. One of my friend was listening to the music and the donkey danced to that music. He had funny movements. Me and my friends  laughed.

Two donkeys walked towards me. "He Haw" they said.
The donkey  smiled at me. Then they licked us.
The donkey ran to its parents,and  it was hungry so I fed him carrots from my launch box.The donkey fell asleep.

We put bandages on him and before we left we corvered him with a blanket.

I went home tired but I still had fun.

What to do when a earthquake hits

Today we have been discussing what to do in a earthquake.The safest options are to Drop, Cover, Hold.In class Miss paton took photographs of us under the tables and under the door frame.

Living in the moon yes? or no?

I think people should live on the moon because you can see Solar system

When you are on the moon there's no gravity there. You can see the big fiery sun from the moon, and you will see lots of bright stars. But you need an oxygen tank when you are on the moon because you need oxygen to breath. You also need food and water to live.

There could be friendly aliens there. You don't need a car in the moon. You will get a good view of earth. There is no mornnig in space because the sky is black.

The moon is realy nice place to live and I think people should live there forever.

Cildren shouldn't eat chocolate

I think children should not eat chocolate because It will make your teeth rotten.

Chocolate is bad because it will make you hipper active. Children
shouldn't eat chocolate because it will make you fat. Don't eat chocolate at nihgt because it will make you stay up late.

We should not eat chocolate because it has sugar in it. Kids should not eat chocolate because you might be alerject. People
should not eat chocolate because it's not healthy.

How a friend could be better

A friend should be honest and not nasty. If my friend lies and gets nasty to someone I will not be his friend.

I like a friend who shares. If he doesen't share no one is going to play with him. I would like a friend who is playful, so we could have fun playing together.

A friend should have selfcontrol. If he hurts people he is also hurting God.  A friend thats is responsible is good, because he will 
makes good choice

Most important of all about friends could be better if they stop fighting.

Snail Array

Today I was given a array of snails. I had to work out the number of snails there was to figure out the answer of the array of snails. I skip count in 5. Finally I found out that there was 20 array snail.

This morning I have been learning to subtract from ten. My equation was 10 - 5 = 5. I used the line tool to take away five from ten

This is my grouping within ten. Today I have been learning to use the shape tool and paint bucket to show my grouping within ten. My grouping within ten was 4 + 6. I used the circles shape tool to do this.

Final day of badminton

Hurray!! Last Friday we had our last day playing badminton.

First we warmed up by playing a game called stuck in the mud. There were two taggers. I ran around as fast as I can. I got tag, but luckily my friend clapped under my leg and I was free.
 
 After that, we practised hitting the shuttle. It was very hard to hit the shuttle because it kept on falling on the ground.Then ,coach Ben got nets for us so we can have a rally.

We were in six groups (so to make it fair).It was a contest to see who is the champion. I tried not to let my opponent win but the shuttle landed on my side. The opposite team had 12 points and we had 12 points too, so it was a tie. Finally we said goodbye to coach Ben.

I had a wonderful time playing badminton and I hope we have badminton again so I can win to the opposite team.

My silly cat

Help!! My cat Jake  got stuck up a tree. He was chase by a dog.

My dad called the fire fighters to come. When the
fire fighters arrive they were in a fire truck. Then they took the ladder out of the truck.

But they could"not reach the cat because the tree was to tall. so they use a longer ladder.

Finally they got the cat down. And we said thank you to the fire fighters. My family was happy our cat was safe.

Playing "TeeGolf

Am I dreaming? Coaches Kannel and Stu showed us some skills and rules for playing golf. The first rule was to hold the golf club. An easy way is to put your right hand, left hand, feet together, left foot, right foot and piggy pop. He told us another rule which was showing respect to others. The two golden rules is to have fun and be safe. Next rule skills is to show courtesy. Courtesy means letting others go first. The second was to hit the ball into the hoop. When coach Kannel clapped every one clapped back.

First we line up to get on the bus. On the bus me and my partner were looking
outside. When we got out  from the bus we sat on to grass.

Next we saw the Waka. The people blew the horn. And we welcome them by
doing the haka.Then a man welcome them in Maori speech. After that we sang a song called He Honore.

Then we sang another song. Finally we hi fived them.

ANZAC Day celebration!

Hundred years ago, many people and soldiers died in Gallipoli on Wolrd War 1.
In the war, they use ships to get to Gallipoli . They had no helicopters during that time.
When the soldiers got there they saw high cliffs. They had to dig their way in. 
Every time they got out they will get shot. They keep getting shot until they got out. You have to be sixteen and over to join the new Zealand army.
A way of remembering ANZAC day is red poppies. Another is to sing the national anthem. You can also use the cross to remember the people who died in the New Zealand army.
You can make ANZAC cookies and eat them because they are very yummy.


WALT write a recount about ANZAC.
I know this when I write the topic, followed by the details and then the conclusion in my recount.

My favorite fruit

Have you eaten a mango?

My favorite fruit is round, sometimes oval.
Mango is tasty and yummy. It is juicy and refreshing.
It is also delicious.

Some mangoes have red skin,some are yellow. If a mangoes is green you can eat it, but they are sour. when you bite yellow mangoes they are soft and sweet. Some mangoes are big, some are small.
I think mango is the best fruit in the world.

My Special Time With My Grandma

Hurray!! My grandma and I went to Rainbow's end two weeks ago.

The first ride I went on was the roller coaster. My Grandma said she couldn't go because she's getting a bit old. After that we had an ice cream.

Then I went on a ride called Gold rush. After the ride I was dizzy. My Grandma said are you all 

right? I replied yes. 

The next ride was scary it was called the Fear fall. When I was on top of the view was beautiful. Then the Fear fall went down really fast that I could not 

feel my legs.

I had a good time with my grandma.
