E.O.T.C Week

At the end of this term we did some activity's for E.O.T.C week. E.O.T.C means education outside the classroom. This is a fun week for us because we don't have to do school work but we get to do some activity's like Sailing, Ice skating and more for 4-5 days.

This year we did Surfing and body boarding, Mega air and top team, Adrenalin forest, and Sailing but it was cancelled.

1st we did Surfing, We had some amazing teachers that taught us how to surf at Sumner. It was a calm day and we had some big waves too. It was an amazing day and we had fish and chips for lunch. Here are some photos of us surfing and body boarding.

Next day we did Adrenalin Forrest. If you don't know what Adrenalin Forrest is it is a high rope coarse were you have a harness and you have to go across ropes and zip lines. Here are some photos of what we did at Adrenalin Forrest.

 The next week on Monday we were ment to go sailing but it was cancelled so we did some Christmas art.

On the last day we went to mega air and we did top team. Mega air is a trampoline park in hornby. Top Team is a bunch of activity's like mega puzzles and water activity's. Here are some photos of us doing those activity's.

Thanks for reading my post!

Trip to Cromwell

Trip to Cromwell

On the 2nd week of the school holidays my family and I went to Cromwell.  One of the reasons for  going down there is because of our Grandma, she had a birthday. We also went down to see other members of our family. This family was new to me because they are my step-Dad’s family.

Ok here comes the boring part. The 1st thing we had to do is the 7 hour drive to Cromwell. We got on the road at 8:00 am. We didn’t do much in the car, all we did was talk about what we would do 1st when we got to Cromwell. We also ate and had some 350 mill fizzy drinks. We did  that until we got to Geraldine. We had a little break and then we drove non stop to Cromwell with a few photo opportunities on the way.  At about ½ the way there I started feeling sick.  We got to some swervy roads and it didn’t help that we were stuck behind a tourist all the way and then on the hill I threw up and all I could taste was vomit, at that point we had 30 minutes until we got there. When we were going around the lake (Lake Dunstan) we could see Cromwell, we all got excited. We arrived and got all of our bags out of the car and took them inside of the house we were staying in, we had 2 hours until we had to go again.

We had a good 2 hours and then we had to go to someone else's house for dinner. We had a barbeque, meat and salad with doritos. We went home and went to bed.

It was day 2 in Cromwell. We had a beautiful view of the mountains with snow on them and we had a beautiful garden outside too. It was 8:00 am and we were having breakfast because we were going to see our Grandma. It was a 5 minute drive to get to where she was staying. It was a pretty interesting drive because of the view and a lot of awesome stuff on the side of the road. My Grandma lived in a retirement home. We went inside and walked all the way to the other side of the retirement home and there she was sitting in front of the doorway. She was looking better than ever she was less forgetful as last time. But the main reason we were there because our Grandma was having a birthday. We brought her a present with battery powered candles and some body wash.  It was great that we could see her but we had to go otherwise we couldn't get to the next activity.

Our next activity was go karting. Everyone was excited, this is what we wanted to do when we heard that we were coming down to Cromwell. We booked a time and it was in 2 minutes until we had to get our gear on and be on the track, so we had to sprint down the hill. Everybody made it down the hill in time and we went through the safety check and then we were on the track. We had 10 minutes out on the track. Everyone was on a single go kart but my Stepdad was on a go kart with my little brother Bryce. I got 9 laps completed and my sister Hannah-mae got 7. My best lap time was 56.20 seconds and my sister got 59.0. Seconds. We finished up on our last lap and we found out our final result. 2 people we didn’t know got 1st and 2nd and I got 3ed. We had a lot of fun and we are looking ford to next time we go down.

Now we went to explore the Highlands Motor Sport park and decided what we can do next. We decided the next thing what we would do, we were going to go on a safari ride around the edge of the Motor sports professional track. The ride was teaching us about dinosaurs and there was a playground and frisbee golf at the end of the ride. It was a wonderful experience and we had a lot of fun.

We went home and we relaxed for the rest of the day and we had an early night but we can't wait for the next experience tomorrow.

The next morning we explored the shops in the middle of town. It was pretty boring but we had fun watching the little creek that went through the middle of the path. It was around midday at this point so we went to the bakery and got some lunch. It was pretty good, I had a pie and a piece of lollie cake. We went to Mini Golf after that and we went around the course, on one of the holes I got a hole in one and one of the corsairs had water in it. We all had a good time on the last day and we hope we can come back down soon.

It was a fun time going down there but we had fun. We all loved it but we had to go. Our last stop on the way home was lake tekapo. It was a beautiful scenery and it was a good choice for pictures.

My Movie

Welcome everybody to my blog. This is a video on a movie that my friends and I made.

We made our movie on a Five Nights At Freddy's song. The song was the original song.

                              When we were making the movie we had a few moments where we had a break down but my friends told me to not give up. The hardest bit was doing the recording.

  I hope you enjoy the movie we made because we had a lot of fun making it. I hope you enjoy!

Please leave a comment.

Five Nights At Freddys

This term we have been making movies. We are hosting our movies at the school hall. So come down and watch some videos and maybe learn something too. My movie/music video is on a Five Nights at Freddy's song. I have been in a group with Zayd, Kalim, Isabella and Remco. We found the recording challenging and the editing. We got through it and we are finished.

Here are some pictures of us working.

This is our poster!

This is our invitation!

And here are some photos of us working!

Where's E.T

This term we have been writing a story about a chimp that went to space. Hope yu enjoy

WHERE’S E.T

YAY! I finally get to go where no other chimp has gone…   Space the beautiful paradise. I Just finished my last training, now I have to get ready to get in my space suit. I  say good bye to everyone and jump into the space ship. The spaceship is a beautiful silver and chrome base, and a Epic Decal of a rocket taking off and a NASA logo on the side. There is an awkward silence, and then I hear 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Like the program Thunderbird's are go. I am wondering what that is for? and then I remember, that is for the rocket taking off. I quickly try to clip up the seat belt, as soon as I hear a click I get pushed back in my seat.I think to myself and I think about how lucky I was just then. After 2 minutes it got quiet relaxing so I yell in chimp voice “I can fly” OU OU A A. I also snuck a picture of my trainer (Egbert) onto the ship, The picture of egbert was a picture that I found in his bedroom, he looked very young in it. And I have a picture of who I have to find, E.T. the alien the flies around on a magic bicycle.  My ship snapped in half as I hit the atmosphere. There is no gravity so i can only rely on the space shuttle. I radio call the control tower to tell them I was ok, They start jumping with joy and they yell out to the that i’m ok, they all start cheering. It is a beautiful sight. O wait I I fell sleepy, it it must of been the drink I had. O O I feel nauseous how am I meant to survive for 65 years, goo good night…  

It has been 65 years I am finally awake nothing bad has happened I am safe. I can see the beauty of space as I float past, it is beautiful and if I did die this would be the place to. The glistening stars, the planets Uranus and Neptune as blue as Lapislazuli. Wait what is that in the distance, I think I think it’s E.T. I peer down at the photo of E.T. I I can’t believe it I actually found him . I can see my beautiful home planet in the distance as well, EARTH, “Mother, i’m coming home yahoo”!

The shuttle I shaking like crazy, I must be going through the atmosphere. Everything is rushing through my mind and past me. The sight is amazing From above but when I landed in Texas.

my mind was thrown. Terra firma!

The sight was ridiculous, when I saw it, I was disgusted. It is so bad that I Can't explain it, it is destroyed, there is rubble everywhere, smashed buildings and everything is grey and disgusting. I looked behind me, my space shuttle is DESTROYED and ugly the fuel tank is leaking. But there is nothing duct tape can’t fix.

Then all of the emotions hit me, “where is my mom and Egbert”? (my trainer),

I fell to my knees in disappointment. “Where could they be”?  I go and get my picture of Egbert, as I picked it up I got shot from behind BANG!!...

I wake up and all I hear is an ear piercing beeping noise, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. I look around and all i see are tools like a hammer, Saw and nails, and an alarm clock I must be in a shed, a supply shed.

I get up and walk around, I feel really weak, I find a piece of wood and use it as a walking stick. I walk out of the shed and I look around to find out where I am.

It it looks like my backyard, I look inside the window and see blue people, people like on eldora as I floated past in the shuttle. That is where I found E.T.

I peak in the window again and then I see Egbert.  I think to myself and say that can’t be, so I walk inside and I see Egbert.

Egbert you are so old and wrinkly but you look in good shape.

“But But where are the blue people”.

For the last few weeks we have been making a story about a space chimp, we have been working in groups and we have been working together to make the story better, I hope you enjoy!

Divide in parts

Hello I hope you enjoy the video, and what I forgot to mention what my next step is so.

My next step is to try to do 3 digit numbers and do the questions by myself.

This video shows you how to divide in parts.

My 4 times tables

For maths I have been lirning my 4 times tables, this is a presintation to show you what to do to compleat them.

My Space Chimp Brainstorm

Last week we watched a video of a chimp that got sent to space. This is a plan of my narrative that I am going to write. Hope you enjoy!

This is in two corporate parts because it is too long.

Facts About Tube feet

This term we have been choosing an animal an then choosing a adaption and researching facts about them.  I choose a starfish and the adaption I choose was tube feet.  Hope you enjoy!

In this photo you can see a hole tubed foot. tubed feet are like suck shin cups on the bottom of the starfish legs.

Tube feet are useful for star fish when they are on slippy surfers.

This part of the Tubed foot is called the ampulla.

The ampulla is the top of the of the tube foot.

This part of the starfish is called the suction cup. This part is the part that dose most of the work

because this is the part that is all ways on the ground. 

This is the last part of the starfish this is the part that gave the tube foot. This is called tube foot.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and most of all I hope you learnt something new bye.

My Mistake

My Mistake

On one beautiful sunny summer's day, my Bask and I were swimming around by the river bed, and resting under the sun, splashing around and making mischief with my friends.  My mum called me, so I went home.  I was feeling lucky but I don’t know why, but I felt like something exciting was going to happen, something that involves animals.

Then I heard something, a roar from a lion.  I poked my head up above the water and peered around. There were lions chasing buffaloes.  The lions caught a buffalo, a baby buffalo. 

It was amazing, I knew something cool was going to happen today.  I heard a splash, the baby buffalo was in the water and so were the lions. It was time for me to attack the buffalo. I swam up to the river bank, but then I noticed something. The buffalo and the lions were up on the bank.  The Buffalo would be really scared, and he would think that it was his last day of his life, but that’s good because that makes him weaker and it makes me more eager for the feed.  I jumped out the water and latched onto the calf, then I pulled for my life. It was eye watering because I could taste the calf's juicy meat, and I could smell the victory. The lions were fighting for the meal, I could feel them tugging. I couldn’t hold on, my strong teeth and jaw wasn’t strong enough. Me versus 5 lions, that isn’t fair. So I just gave up and I let the lions finish the feast. The lions would be jumping with joy and would be so relieved that they won the tug a war, and that they bet a scaly reptile at getting food, a nice juicy calf.

I was so devastated, I just let my meal go to a stupid pride of lions. I hope my mum or my friends weren't watching because I would look like a fool in front of them.  But I am joyful that the fight is over because I was about to lose my good hunting tooth. My mum will not be happy, but that is how life works.  I am so lazy, I need to get stronger and more fit, so I can win next time.  well off I go, to have more fun with my friends.
