Basketball

Weekends are full of fun stuff .Guess what I did in the weekend ?I went over to the school with my dad to play Basketball and play around with the ball.

The reason I went with my dad was because he is my basketball coach .I go around to the school about three times a week. But sometimes he doesnt want to go so I go by myself. Every time I go I try to improve my shooting so I try 100 shots every time.


Sometimes if i'm lucky some of my sisters may come but that has only happened once or twice.I always try to get more people to come such as .My Mum ,My Dad and all three of my sisters..

At school most of the boys come to basketball training. Our aim is to go to AIMS in year eight and win if we are lucky.Next week we play our first basketball tournament ,yeah.

Basketball is one of my favourite things to do.Overall basket comes out in second place.

Best Camp Ever !!!!!

Year 5 and six camp was the bomb ! There were millions of activities and you would never be bored .What makes it even better was that I was a leader.


My favourite activity was top teams challenge, not only because we won, I was one of the people who helped others who kind of struggled.That's what made it so fun.


One incident that was really hilarious, was when we were out kayaking. Some people without doubt, did not know how to do this. There were monstrous crashes and some people even managed to tip their kayak over ,and I don’t think that Mr Burt was very impressed about it.



My goal for the year five and six camp was to be a really good leader and come up with a fantastic dance.So I really worked hard on that and I think I achieved that goal.I thought that I was a good team leader and I reckon that our dance was awesome because everyone was cheering for us.


Now that camp is over I am so bored.I am really looking forward to going to Kawau Island at the end of the year.

The Important Invention Named Chewing Gum

Funnily a man named Adam smith popped a lump of chicle in his mouth. He had an idea so he decided to add a mint flavor to it and heated it up.

In 1872 he opened up a factory named tutti fruity the shops refused to sell this product named chewing gum.so the tutti fruity factory sold it in slot machines at the railway station hmm I wonder what other flavors he thought of ?

IT SNOWED IN AUCKLAND

August fifteenth a big day for Auckland........... It snowed. Well we don't get snow annually it normally comes once or twice each century. Or if we are lucky three times. You south islanders might be thinking we are making a huge fuss about it but it is so cool .

R.W.C 2011 Immersion Assembly

“IRELAND” cheered Mr J as we entered our Immersion Assembly. Out appeared Mr Somerville with an All Black jersey. I mumbled to my friend “I think I know what we are learning about this term.” “Me too” he replied. I couldn't wait for the teacher's Immersion items to begin.

Our turn came, team 4. We didn't have to go up because ours was a spectacular ...... movie . It was very funny because Mr Somerville, as famous former All Black George Nepia, had to ref his first game. He really did not know how to ref. He caught the ball and got a try himself. I hope I don't play in one of his games we might lose because he might come charging at us and score a try for the other team.

Finally the music started to play and we all walked out splendidly. Can you guess what we are learning about? We are learning about the rugby world cup 2011.But our saying is Keep Your Eye on the Ball.

Our Trip To Motat

On Wednesday we went to Motat .Before we got on the bus we went to the hall and got in our groups.walking out to the bus I felt so exited!Off we went to travel all the way to Motat .
Once we got there we hoped out of the bus and walked to the gate were we met a lady named Stacy,who was our educator.She took us to one of the classrooms and we ate our morning tea.
Our first activity was the tactile dome.We had to feel around for walls and ways to get out of the pitch black dome.As people went we could hear them through the microphone.
After that we split up into our groups and my group headed to the game room.There were games like PAC man street fighter and of course racing games.
A while later we went back to the class room and had lunch with everyone.Then we were given a map of were to go.The first on the map was the tram barn and the whisper dishes.So that is were we headed off to.
As soon as we finished that we rushed over to the mirror maze were another group was coming through.One of our group members ran into a mirror and injured himself. As soon as that happened he fell to the ground and was very dicey so he shouted out “Anthony”.

Before we had our last activity we went with Stacy to a different class room and learnt about kiwi and other country's inventions.There were things like phones,type-writers,cameras and Stacy even told us about some inventions that were invented by accident like the tea bag.
For our last activity we ran straight back to the game room and played for hours.We had competitions on the racing games.It was very challenging for everyone but I felt confident.
At the end of the day we met back to the classroom.Finally we walked back to the bus and went to school.We all felt exhausted and drained,that was a long day.

20hr Famine Go Blue Team

Some of the students at Pt England school are participating in the twenty hour famine to help the people on the other side of the world and to get a taste of what it feels like for them because they are very skinny and that have been hit by natural disasters. We are doing it tonight. I entered the twenty hour famine because I want to raise heaps of money and go hard out for the hungry, if you raise the most money you're the bomb.
Every two hours we get to drink some just just juice and have one or two barley sugars .If you are in the blue team then make sure that you raise over twenty dollars to donate because were only doing it for twenty or forty hours but imagine going with out food for weeks.

Pt England School Immersion Assemly

“So mate I wonder what were learning about this term?” I said to my friend “Wow I think we are learning about mad scientist because look at Miss Burne and her team”. As Miss Burne and her team approached the stage an enormous beaker popped out. She and her team tossed a multitude of ingredients in to the gigantic beaker, and out exploded a bubbly soap bar. The soap was Miss Walters. Miss Lavakula rapped to baby baby baby wash your hands while the other teachers were spraying water out to the crowd. At the end of assembly I mumbled to my friend “I think we are learning about bigger better faster stronger”.

Learn How To Swim

It is essential to learn to swim especially in New Zealand because we are surrounded by multiple number of fatal beaches and rivers in New Zealand. To be a successful swimmer you need to know these key tips they are have cupped hands and to do steady strokes the breathing position is with your head on your arm and roll to breath make sure you are very buoyant and not to be submerged under the water. You need to coordinate all these movements and remember to always have a powerful kick.

The Created Creature

At Point England school our inquiry this term is Bigger ,Better, Faster, Stronger. Team 4 are inventing some really cool things, so I designed a new animal on Hyperstudio. Hyperstudio is the programme that I used to create it.

I did not draw this creature I put images and created this horrendous , hair raising head that lives in rivers around Australia but is covered in feathers, and we only eat his torso. His legs are from a creature that provides us with milk and the males hate red and have horns.

Can you guess what three creatures I have mingled ? If you think you do please leave a comment and guess what three animals they are and then I will put the picture on this post on 06/05/11.

My picnic story

On Friday room 14 where so excited because we wanted to get muddy and squishy. Then we went.Thinking about the range of activities we would be able to do.

Walking cautiously down the mountain I took a wrong step and slid down the mountain and dropped on the drop . Finally came the time when I was on the beach I stared at the beach and then turned my head I saw people holding big huge balls of clay as I manuvuored over the gooey rocks. I grabbed a hand full of gluey clay I carved a ball.

Finally we packed up and started to walk back to school .I felt splendid .

The Fishing Trip

Guess where I went in the holidays? My family and I went to Pukenui. When we got there, my best friend Potiki and I were begging to go fishing.

We begged and begged to go fishing so finally my dad said 'Yes'. We dashed to the door and grabbed our fishing rods and sprinted to the wharf, wondering if we were going to catch a fish or not.

When we got there we got heaps of bites and then we thought we got snagged, but no we saw a big fat Kahuwai waiting to be eaten by me and my best friend.

We reeled it in and ate it for dinner.
