EWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!


At the corner of my eye, I spied a lamb eating grass. Quietly approaching the lamb, I noticed a pile of poop. Was it poop or was it some ones ice-cream? I grabbed a stick and poked it to see.
“E w!!” I yelled. It was real sheep poop after all!

FINALLY

I never thought this day would come.I had to take boring class lessons for 5 years. But now, I finally get to go.

I broke down into sweat while preparing for launch, even though I was so excited before. “ignition” called from the control tower. Thinking that it would be smooth ride, the rocket rocked side to side. Half way though the night sky, the space ship detached from the boosters and leaded into orbit.

Danger and adventure was by us, as we set to explore the truth. Quickly maneuvering pass the
sun we got a tan.

I need to rmember this next time!

“Wake up and get ready for school, please.” said my mum, quietly drinking her coffee. I thought about what was she talking about, then finally I remembered It was the first day of school.

I arrived at school with a brainless mind and said to myself “ What on earth is going on?" Seeing my teacher in a tutu was odd but what I soon realised I had forgotten about Immersion assembly.

Unlike other assemblies this one was different! How, you say? Easy 3 main reasons, first is the title “Immersion assembly”, second reason is the topic “Out of space” and lastly the other reason is there is always an interesting performance!

So I lined up at the door thinking it might be boring, but I was wrong! It actually was not that bad. Because when I walked though that door, I was amazed of what the teachers had come up with!

Parsing up at the selling, I sat quietly on the verge with excitement because, Mr.Barks was in his mask was unrecognisable which made me laugh. Mr Sommerville was dressed as a Ballerina that made him look funny. Once again I have to say, that it was amazing to see the teachers all dressed up for assembly!!

My favorite performance was the rap that was performed by team 2 planet rap! Cool isn’t it! They made a song about the planets.

Maybe its not so bad forgetting after all? You need surprises in life other wise, your life would be plain boring! That's a lesson!

Whats wrong?

Tales were told to me from my auntie, and uncles, that years ago was a game called Poleconomy? A combination of Politics and economy leaded up to one thing.....they must of already bought it? Who knows!

Normally the weather would be nice and warm, and sunny bright colours would shine though the class window, but it was nothing like that. Blustery winds blow against my house, while puddles surrounded the drive way. While sitting in a chair in my kitchen, I just thought of the great idea. I was thinking about playing a board game like monopoly or checkers, but I never thought that we would have game called poleconomy.

A opportunity was made, and I was the one who was responsible. With confusion stuck in my head, I said to my auntie,“ Which way should I go? ” Making a quick decision, I moved my kiwi to its space, and said with regret “I should have gone over there!”

After the long and painful night, I drifted off to sleep. I may not be great at making the right move but hey at least I gave it a go! Even though I felt a different feeling inside of me.

Alfajorcitos

An agreement was made between my class and my teacher. The deal was if we succeed on our writing then we could eat Alfajorcitos! After a long time after being bribed by my teacher, we set off to our desk and started working hard.

After a long half an hour of a successful writing, it was time to eat the delicious Alfajorcitos!
First thing first, we had to listen about the treats that we were about to eat! What I heard is that the Alfajors are made in Argentina, and most of all they are a dessert that many would like to live on!

Finally it was time to eat the delicious postre! Gazing at the treats in front of me, I quickly grabbed the knife and smeared the Dulce De Leche all over my biscuit. The Alfajors melted in my mouth, as I begged for another one.

What I know now is that, Alfajors are very additive. Maybe that’s why people can live on them because they are so YUM!!!!

Skills

Near the cold blustery field, waited skills ready to be known. Finally after our class break, the tricks ever know except Australia, was brought to New Zealand for kids to know. What it is called again ..........Aussie rules!Outside near the netball courts, Blustery winds blew towards my class. Trying to remember what were the skills I have learnt, Megan our coach reminded me about the skills. How to bounce an Aussie rules ball and learning how to throw the ball. My favorite part is when me and my partner played Jumper Bumper. Base ball is known as the properest game in the world. To celebrate, we played a game of kicking a ball its like base ball but you kick the ball instead. My heart started to pound as I walked towards the kicking start. With the instructions stuck in my head I know just what to do, so I kicked the ball and the distance of the ball was good. Running as fast as I could and scored my team a number of points and left with a proud exit.Bursting with heat I fell to the ground and said with happiness “The exhausting activity is finally over!”

Being a kid that has to research for their home work, is the last thing a kid would ever want! Why? Because you have nothing to do unless your like me, being excited.

It was nothing till I looked at it. Boring pictures were brought to life when they were drawn by talented artist. I suppose that I can tell you. Showed by my auntie was this site.
Its called........ Deviantart with some amazing animations like this, which I really like.

Some time in my life I think I would like to become an artist?

Badminton




I’d never thought that this day would come, I would always watch my mum play but now its my tern. You may be confused or might not even know what I’m talking about, so I’m going to tell what is it. Existing news that t have which I'm going to play is called.....Badminton!

Badminton is a very poplar game in my school since I have started playing it. There were some things that we did’t know about, like.............. a shuttle. For those of you that don’t know what it is I’m going to explain. It is like a ball but its got feathers.


Hoping that we would have a little fun, be had to learn a hole lot of stuff before we had any fun. The are rules to Badminton, like................ you have to pivot in order to get the shuttle and nip it but with a powerful one.

We had a challenge to see who can stay in the game for the longest. Here is my little story.

Swinging a miss, like a bird the shuttle soared into the air leaving the oppressions side and heading for its target. A rally for the points I quickly move my feet and whacked it as hard as I could and left with a proud exit.

Now I know how my mum feels when shes playing this game and, why its so poplar in my school. The question that stands is will I make a good champion

The Haka



Down the field laid a challenge for the All Blacks. Strong and powerful threatening warriors got ready to do the haka. Soon you will know why they are threatening. Preparing to battle a intimidating sign called the throat slitting scared the opposition men. With throat slitting actions going on, the All Blacks were able to get a good amount of tries.

Down the field a cunning plan was placed in the hands of the opposition. The great idea was to tackle Ma'a Nonu. Slipping out of the tackle, a bullet pass was thrown to Nonu and he scored a diving try while waving his hands in triumph. Celebrations were brought to town after the game was won!

How it all started.






Believe it or not that there is town that is called Rugby. A game was played at a boarding school that is in the area. There was no fixed limit for the number of players who could play football but the rules were different from what we have now. For instance players were not allowed to run with the ball. Instead they were permitted to handle the ball while standing still and throw the ball. Hundreds of players would take part in a sort of enormous rolling maul which would tumble towards the opposition’s goal. Major injures were brought to bodies.

Then one day in 1823 a teenager named William Webb Ellis broke the rules and ran with the ball. Since then Rugby was invented. Innovations were made over the years and in 1845 the rules for rugby were written.

Icon

Kia ora,
Welcome to the island called Aotearoa! You may not think that we’re special so, I’m going to tell you Two main reasons why. We live on our own, with no one to talk to as our country is geographically isolated. We have a multicultural population. We have made a very treasured history filled with kiwiana.
Do you actually know what a tiki is? I’m guessing not. The term tiki refers to a carved human figure and is part of Maori and other pacific cultures. Its a Mystery finding out about the name of the myth of Tiki. On the other side, in many parts of pacific islands, for example in Niue, the Tiki myth is unknown and human figures were not carved but 

they still had a tiki.

One of the things that is also unique is called Buzzy Bee. It is a famous icon to New Zealand. A toy and crafts man, created the colorful wood toy sometime in the late 1930’s. New Zealanders love Buzzy Bee. It is seen internationally on stamps and magazine covers. As you can see Buzzy Bee is a treasure to lots of people in New Zealand. As you will see, these kiwiana icons that New Zealand has developed themselves, demonstrates our uniqueness in the world. So I guess that New Zealand is really a very special little country after all.

A Legend




Jonah Lomu, was known as a big global super star in rugby. All Black Lomu, was thought of as the world’s greatest player. With his dream coming true he was able to play 63 games for the All Blacks. A number of players would try to knock him off his feet, but they couldn't. Their faces had a intimidating look saying please don’t heart me.


5 years later Lomu was diagnosed with serious kidney problems. Have you ever heard of dialysis? You may know that is what he had. Every 3 days we would have to got to a machine which cleans his blood. Lucky for him, a voice from the radio save his life by giving Jonah one of his kidneys. 3 years after.........

Jonah Lomu went looking to make a comeback in his chosen career. He played in Hong Kong and Wales. Finally in 2007 that he retired.

Beep test



Push your self to the limit and see how far you get. This is what me, and my class was put through. We were straining and pushing our body through the hard work as we ran backwards and forwards
