Going To The Maritime Museum


On Tuesday 27th of July Room 15,14, and 18 went to Maritime Museum. Our tour guide was Salty Sam. He was a gruff and grumpy old captain.He bellowed orders as he took us on a guided tour. We saw miniature ships and great big ships.

we saw miniature ships and great big ships.

On the second part of the tour we went in a replica of an immigrant ship‘s cabin, to see what it would have been like for immigrants coming to New Zealand on an Immigrant ship. There were
bunks in the cabin and there was one spot which smelt and Kobe, Darius and Gabriel were
sitting in it. Yuck!

Our 2nd slot was called Aramoana and our guide was Judy. She took us to watch a movie
about Polynesians coming to New Zealand. The movie was in a circular room that had
three massive screens and hard wooden forms . Mrs Squires snuck in through the door just
in time . And that's the end of this story

HALLOWEEN

It was Halloween on Sunday and people were going trick or treating,
but not me. I was going to go, but my mum changed her mind so I could
not go. I was going to dress up as a tooth fairy.

I saw lots of people walking down Bagnell Ave . Someone came and knocked on the
door and my family made out like no one was home. Then I saw my
mates going trick or treating. I ask my mum again and she still said ‘NO’
so I said ‘OK then’.

Only one parson came to our house that was because I put my dog
on the front yard .So that meant no one could come to my house .
It was cool because now no one came to the door step
because we did not want to gave our lollies out.

THE END.

we were thinking “what is the topic going to be?At 8:50 the 2nd bell rang and it was time to go to the school hall for ,Immersion Assembly. Teachers were dressed as in all the kids were looking at them. Mr Burt our principal he slithered and crawled all the way from the back of the hall onto the stage and he was dressed as a nasty mosquito.


When Team 3 had finished ,then it was Team 4 ‘s turn .They were showing a video of bees acting and showing what bees life were like in a colony .The queen, Mr Barks was dressed in a curly wig, tiara and Christmas decorations he was laying eggs.
He had working bees working for him. When the last eggs were laid Team 4's turn was over .

Cross Country

Watching the senior races for the cross country I felt stink because I couldn't run. I have been
home sick this week but came today because if I stayed home people will think I am wagging school.
A lot of kids were happy for cross country because most of them were not in school clothes
but were in their house colors . When the second bell went we lined up out side to go to the courts for cross country . The whole school was there. Kids got into their age groups like 5,6,7,8,9 10,11,12, year old.
It was like little mice running all over the place but then we all sat down on the court. Mr Burt
said, ‘11 year old children are going first.” I saw kids running with all they've got.
Then it was the 10s and the 9s . It was cool watching the little kids run because they tried their
best. In forty min cross county was over and there was just one more thing to do. The team leaders had to perform their chant.

Bigfoot Adventures

I was feeling great when I saw people from the Bigfoot adventure. We went to see them
in the middle block.They were talking all about bike safety. We were listening attentively to Tony telling us about bike safety precautions.
So once we had learnt about how we knew that our bike was in good working order we put on our helmets ready to ride. Our helmet was carefully adjusted until it was tight and snug.

As I was racing around the obstacle course,that had ramps and cones, I pushed myselfover the limit making me crash. As I jumped over the ramp really fast, going crazy, my wheel slipped and I crashed to the ground. I got back up, jumped on the bike and finish the course.

Bigfoot Adventures was lots of fun. I hope they come back again.

Immersion Assembly

As I walked in then door I was amazed by the bright colors that the teachers had all dressed up as. It was our Immersion Assembly in the hall for our new topic.
As soon as Mr Burt waited for us to be quiet he told us about our new topic.
After team 1 and 2 and after team 3, team 4 came up with a quiz show. The host Maggie magma introduced her best and beautiful assistant Mrs Lavalava, (After Maggie Magma just introduced Mrs Lava lava) Next she introduced the contestants, Mrs Cinder and Miss Lahar last but not least Miss Bionic Election Super Sonic. Then the game started. Miss Lahar was saying funny words like mouse [Miss N.P CoolerLava had a similar name to miss Lavakula. Miss Cooler Lava said that the volcano in Iceland was one of the aunt of her family. After the Immersion Assembly I thought that what we were going to do this term is going to be all about volcano's all around the world.
