Optimist Yachting Maths

Monday: an easy 10 because there was no wind to sail too

Tuesday: Another 10 since there was still no wind.

Wednesday:  7 Since I went out by myself and kept tipping almost over since I couldn’t balance the boat out. and I got tangled in the mainsheet! Its was really scary

Thursday: Really windy and our yacht so this would be an 8  since I was a bit frightened Ezra’s crazy driving on the rudder!

Friday would be a 9 since it was really fun and cold capsizing. The swimming was the only hardest thing for me since the boat was too full to have 3 people in so we could only have one person.

All Blacks in Napier

 Friday I went to Napier for an All Blacks signing at Farmers. We had to wait an hour before they turned up. They were Jullien Savea, Liam Messam and Owen Franks. When we got close Mum told me to take my All Blacks top. I replied "What, why would I want to taky my top off infront of everyone!"
Mun then said "It will be easier for them to sign it."
"Ok" I said. I wipped myy t-shirt off and Jullien Savea and Liam Messam said  got big guns"
I smiled when they said that and I was really happy. Then right when we were leaving I was asked to hold up my top for a photo for the Hawke's Bay Today. It got even greater, it was for the front page of the Hawke's Bay today.

 This photo below is my favourite with Richie McCaw, Kieren Reid and Dane Coles. Thye were in Starbucks Napier. It was a great expierence to meet Richie McCaw
                                     THE CAPTAIN OF THE ALL BLACKS

 In the end I went through town and saw 5 more All Blacks they were Ben Franks, Dane Coles, Richie McCaw, Kieren Read, Jurome Kaino, I am so happy I got to meet the All Blacks

In this photo I had Blossom for karts. This is an annual karting event that happends once a year and I had never came second in. I have been in this event 2 or 3 times. I really enjoyed this event since it is over 2 days. I was racing NZ 2. That means he is the second best in New Zealand. I felt really good beating him. I am really happy with my resuilt in Blossom 47!

Retelling Ghosts of Young Nick's Head

Thunder and lightning strikes across the veranda. The window is creaking and shaking. Eddy flips his page in his Harry Potter book. Suddenly the light starts to dim then BANG! the light shatters into the darkness. Eddy lets out a little scream. Then they hear a creaking coming towards the bedroom. “Who is it?” They get no reply as Joe and Eddy start to hide. Then they knock a potato sack all of the floor. The dim light of the fire starts to glow. The shadow starts to get closer. The boys close their eyes. Then a sudden gust of wind hisses and heaves through the house. The boys open their eyes. The black outline of the figure is gone. Eddy yells “Did you see how close we were to dying!”

Joe replies "Yeah” as he lets out some tears.

They look out the window The rain plunges down on the rugged paddock. As the boys analyze the room in the darkness they can tell it was an aged worn out room. Joe says to Eddie “No wonder this place is haunted.” Joe replies.
"We don’t know for sure if this place is haunted.” Eddy says.

"Look out at the cliff face." the boys say as the water splashes up over the rocks. “So what are we going to do with no power?” Joe says to Eddy.

“I don’t know.” Eddy shouts back.

“Will this rain ever end Eddy?” Joe speaks.

“Yes of course it will!” Eddy says.

Then the boys hear somebody coming up the stairs. “Who is it?" they shout...

My turtles play hide and seek

“Srape scrape” I hear, coming from the turtle tank I am sitting around my houses dining room, where  one of my turtles is peeking her head by the lights wires. She is standing on her land pad. Then she is stretching out her back feet and stretching her head out of the tank. I lean over to see her and go hello in a funny tone. I go back and sit on the couch and play xbox, then suddenly Mum walks through the door with an unexpected visitor, the turtle. I haven’t got a name for her yet though. When Mum placed the turtle down she had a sparkle in her eye. she looked at me, and made a run for it. Nooo I chase after her then  I grab her then she scratches me with all her might but she is a girl so it didn’t hurt much. Ouch.

Mum now pulls my other turtle out. She changes her gears and speeds as fast as her can towards the couch and I grab her. I see her shell is flaking everywhere. I grab her but it is too late, he makes it under the couch. I am touching her but I can’t seem to pull her out. Wait…

Where is the other big turtle gone? I hear a Bung Crash Smash coming from behind the heater. This would be worse if there was the cat inside. Mum lifts the couch while I  stick my hand under and grab the brave curious turtle. She scratches. Then I take them both out below there tank in the dining room. I put them side by side. My big turtle looks out for my little turtle, my little turtle followed my big turtle side by side. Then my little turtle made a detour towards the fridge. I grab her then I lose grip. She is lost under the fridge. I wait 5 minutes. He pops out. I grab her then I chucked her in his tank. I grab the big turtle that doesn’t want to go back in. She scratches me and  I drop her! Luckily she was on the mat. She lands upside down but fortunately she is not hurt. I put him back in. Then they relax in the sunny light in there tank.

Turtles rock

Planetairum visit

HOLT PLANETARIUM VISIT  

Monday 16 June 2014

Something I enjoyed was looking at mars

    because it looked bright.

Something I found interesting was their toileting

    because it sounds weird.

The most exciting thing about space is zero G’s

    because I could break world records of the biggest back flips

I would like to learn more about planets.

“How do stars in the universe have an impact impact on us?”

I want the rest of my inquiry topic to be about: The life span and heat of stars.

My birthday

Today it is my birthday. I got a new go kart, a 32 inch flat screen tv, a scratch pad for drawing and lots and lots and lots of lollies. Here is a photo of my go kart. I am changing the number to probably number 10. Over the weekend I have been also feeling sick, I have been eating too many lollies.


In class we had cake also. Mum made and  brought in a Minecraft cake it was yum. We had chocolate cake, vanilla cake and lollie cake. I only  ate vanilla cake

My Minecraft park

So this is my Minecraft park we did for homework. Enjoy My measurments are all down the bottom

Using E books

Today we created adobe acounts. It has a libary and we are able to get books out online. We can reserve books without even getting out of our seats! It is the future! Room 10 and room 6 are first to sample the website.  I can't wait till we get more books!

Broken

This device (phone) is broken.

Write about a time you broke something!

OR

Imagine that you broke your device or phone and describe how it happened.

WALT use different sentence starters and lengths.

To do this, I will try to:

• Start sentences with different words
• Start sentences with capital letters
• Use other punctuation (check the ladder)
• Show my feelings
• Use my senses to describe
• Include strong verbs

BROKEN

I am jogging up the street when suddenly my phone slips out of my hand and pulls my headphones out of my ears with it. My phones upside down and I am sad and angry to find out the state. It’s smashed like a plane plunging down into the concrete. It was not a nice sight for my eyes. Seeing it replay over and over in my head in slow motion. People saying to me oooowwww! Why can’t they keep their mouths shut? Rocketing to the ground without a parachute the pink case wizzing through my vision hearing the wind. Why did this happen to me? My phone costs over a thousand dollars. Oh man my parents will kill me for this, Wait is that my parents car in the distance...

Bivvy design

Survivor camp 2014 is coming. We will be at the Roil's house. It sounds real fun and I can't wait. Anyway we have designed bivvies They are going to have to last over night.

My Cozy bivvy for 3!

Kayaking in the school pool

Kayaking Fun

Buddy Assessment (Buddy: Jared)

Paddle Hold (right angles, right way, consistency)

I think I had good consistency with my paddle holding because I have done it before with my dad. Jared (my assessor) gave me a double tick for my balance since in Jareds words “Ben had all his angels right”

Overall Safety

My personal opinion I would be a double tick for being safe. To be safe, you have to have great strength to hold the paddle and have great balance. Jared thinks I should get a double tick on that one

Speed

My Speed was definitely fast since I won the race. Elijah was pushing me so hard making me wanna push harder to win. I did win. Jareds words again are, “Tremendous speed I think Ben deserves a double tick” Well there you go I am doing really good so far.

Enjoyment

I am happy as ever I definitely got a double tick for this and so does Jared I think.

Reflection

Something I enjoyed learning was the water safety

Something I found challenging was keeping in front of Elijah

My favourite thing about kayaking in the pool was playing around on the water!

I can taste fresh air lurking

5 Senses writing

I can taste the fresh air lurking. I can hear birds chirping to their families. I can see horses with their silky brown furry mains. I can touch the electric fence  and get a shock. I can smell Horse poo whiffling through the air. Blue sky overgrown tree top canopies  over a house across from school Te Mata the sleeping giant laying there dead. I hear a plane swooping over my head. Smokey grey sky not rain clouds, something you don't see everyday. I can feel the sun beating down on my neck making me get burnt. I see nature roaming the earth. The horse is running up and  down like a lunatic getting chased with a hammer. I can see cliffs off the side of Te Mata peak.

I see and feel Pollen in the air. I see cars driving on Howard street, Spider webs spun on the long wet brown grass. Silence around the environment.

Autumn leaves falling to the ground.

My Waka art
