Assembly

Assembly was very interesting this morning because a man called Robert was playing the bagpipes and another person was playing the drums. It was really funny when Robert was playing the bagpipes because he was playing the hokey pokey song. It was different from other assemblies because when we sang the National Anthem there was no guitar. The sad thing was that Mr Burt wasn’t there because he had a meeting out in west, but assembly was still as usual.

Magic circus of Samoa Holidays

As we were waiting for the circus to open I got bored that I just started riding on my ripstick. I was so excited that I wanted to run inside but we had to wait for a while, at last we were in side.

While we sat down we just ate some food for a while.

It was dark and very spooky, I felt like I was locked up in jail. Finally two twins came out balancing on big bouncy balls. they started to balance and juggle. Seeing them on the stage I never knew that something like this was going to happen.

It was so fun and I had a great time.

Why do we have day and night

King Kong and Slug

King Kong.
Stupid King Kong knowingly embarrassed himself.

Knowingly, stupid King Kong embarrassed himself.

Embarrassing his mother knowingly, stupid King Kong felt guilty.

As stupid King Kong farted in the audience he knowingly embarrassed himself.





SLUG
The creepy slug attempted to jump unfortunately he had no legs.

Attempting to win the race the creepy slug unfortunately was to slow.

 Unfortunately the creepy slug attempted to dance, yet failed.

Creepy slugs attempt everything,  unfortunately they always die in the end.

One Tree Hill Stardome 50 word story

“Run run” I shouted sprinting down the hills nearly tripping over.Slipping and sliding on the the mud I was close to stepping on sheep poo. Would you like step in poo? Girls screamed, boys tumbled. I had a very interesting day today. Happiness surrounded me as I left stardome.

Ice Cream Comets

Looking at the food that was on the table I wondered what we were going to do. As Miss King told us that we were going to make comets out of ice cream and biscuits a lot of people were very excited.

If you would like to make a comet you will need ice cream, crunched up biscuits and a cone. So you would put the sprinkles in your hands and put the ice cream in your hands too. don’t forget to roll the ice cream up , then smash the cone on.

As we ran outside and sat down in our groups, I just wanted to grab the food and eat it , but I wasn’t allowed. When the group Outer Space got theire turn to make ice cream comets, I kind of got jealous because it looked so delicious.
Walking up to get my turn Miss King put a scoop of ice cream in to my hands, it felt cold as it dripped through my fingers. As I went to Whaea Janeille to get my cone, she smashed it on my hands.

It was so gross because I had to put the ice cream on my cone with my hands leaving a sticky mess on my fingers. Licking the ice cream comet it melted very fast. I just put the whole thing into my mouth and chewed it until it was crushed in to small pieces.

My class enjoyed that afternoon for sure. It is a really fun thing to make at home.

Immersion Assembly

When I sat down in assembly I looked at the stage to see what was our theme for term 4. Suddenly planets from space appeared up on the screen. When I saw the theme it said Outter This World. I already knew that this term is going to be fun.

As Mr Burt introduced our topic to our school he told us a story from years ago. The story was about Maui and how his great grandmother gave him a hook to use to catch a big fish. People say that you can see the hook at night in the stars.

The teachers dressed up crazy in a lot of costumes. I really liked team fives costumes because they looked like real aliens. There short video that we watched was funny because they pretended that they were in star wars.

I had really fun in immersion assembly and I’m looking forwardhttps://picasaweb.google.com/103288051193664741091/ImmersionAssemblyTerm42011?authuser=0&feat=directlink to this term. I hope next years theme is going to be crazy like science.

Rocket Launch

Waiting nervously in my chair, I felt scared. This was the first time I was going to space.
This is a risky thing to do - the boosters might explode.
Soon the rocket would be far away from earth.

Ready for launch I put on my belt waiting for the launch. Suddenly they called that they were ready for the lift off. As Mission Control counted down from ten I can already feel butterflies in my stomach.

Holding tight onto my chair, I felt my stomach shake and shudder. Igniting the
boosters, we were at full speed.The boosters were so loud that it was the only
thing I can hear.

Finally reaching space, I felt really good because I saw the bright stars and all the planets- even earth.This amazing experience showed me how small our world is.

Term 3 Reflection

I enjoyed playing sports this term and going on Math Whizz because it was new to my class. I didn't like writing too because I’m not that good at it, I kind of hate maths too. It was fun playing badminton this term because I’ve never played it before.

This term wasn't that bad because I thought Athletics was coming up but it was in term 4.The thing I found interesting was the production because it is fun if your involved. I could of did a bit better but I’m still happy.

Warriors VS Manly Sea Eagles

As the mighty warriors league team were about to play manly sea eagles they were not confident that they were going to win the grand final. It was a hard challenge for the warriors. As the stadium got full the people were all dressed up in black and cheering for the warriors.

When the game started it felt like this was the last game of league. As James Maloney kicked a drop goal all you could see and hear was people screaming warriors wearing black. With a lot excitement the manly sea eagles got a runaway try.

The warriors made a lot of mistakes suddenly Manu Vatu Vai made the first try for the mighty warriors. It was a interesting game for me. They did a lot of little mistakes which is why they struggled and lost there game.

Sonny Bill Williams

SBW was so excited to play against France . Side stepping and dodging one by one he was near the try line. It was like feeding at the zoo. Accurately diving for the try the crowd were cheering wildly. What a win for the All Blacks .

Making Alfajorcitos

Que’ rico que son los alfajorcitos. Muy delicioso. I was so excited when Miss King told us that we were going to do something yummy because I love yum food. As Miss King showed us what we were going to taste it smelt very nice and looked like caramel.

Alfajorcitos is a very popular snack in Argentina and it has got a nice taste. You can make it by buying condensed milk and boiling it for three hours. After that you put it in the freezer until it turns brown.

Waiting for the alfajorcitos to come around I was dieing to have a taste. It was really sticky and goey as I spread the it over my yummy biscuit. As I gobbled it all in my mouth it gave a crack and made crums.


It was a very good experience to taste something that we’ve never tasted before. Now I can make these yummy snacks at home.

Aussie Rules

Walking on the field to play Aussie Rules with my class and room 19 we saw Megan and Alysa waiting for us. We were just warming up for the stuff that we were going to do.

The weather was cold and hot at the same time as we warmed up. Our weather in one day is like winter then spring after that it would be like summer. It was a very blustery day as Megan was teaching us how to bounce the ball while walking.

Our warm up skill was playing a game which you would have to jump on one foot and try and knock over your partner. Bumping jabez off I got knocked over and fell on the mud. Finishing our warm up we both slipped over.

We got to play a game which was very similar to baseball but the thing was we had to kick the football. When it was my turn I kicked the ball so high that Gloria caught it. The line was so long that I nearly didn’t get a turn because it was taking too long .

Finally I got to field. It was very frustrating because Sosaia and I were both trying to catch the ball, when suddenly I ran into him by accident and he fell over. A lot of people were angry at me mostly boys , but I just told them that it was just a game. It was a very close game but I knew that my team had won.

It was fun and I learnt how to bounce the ball straight. I felt really good as we walked back to class.

Black Out Day

It was with a lot of excitement that I didn't get dressed in my uniform this morning because it was black out day for my school. There was going to be a sausage sizzle on as well. We wore black to show our support for the All Blacks on the opening day of the Rugby World Cup.

Running down the footpath shouted to my friend “Where are you going?” . A lot of people were wearing black clothes. As coins jingled in my pocket as I bounced about excitedly - I was going to buy a sausage for my lunch.

Arriving at school, I noticed, to my surprise, that even the teachers were wearing black. Miss Tito and Miss Va’afusuaga had black wigs on and even had their face painted. I thought to myself that today was going to be cool.

At assembly Mr Burt kept telling stories about the times when he was at rugby games and he was not wearing his hat. Mr Burt’s stories are very interesting and he is a great storyteller. Mabye he might write a book one day.

In our classroom we painted some All Black players so we can hang it in our room. We had to trace around a small person then go and paint the picture that we traced. Finishing painting we went inside to add more detail to it with crayons.

After morning tea team four all went to the courts to play some rugby games . The sun was shining and the sevens boys had set up some fun looking activities for us . I was in team Namibia.

Tackling the bags I got the hardest hit for bumping it off. As Feki did a example for the activity that we were going to do it looked very hard. When that finished we went to the next two boys which were doing kicking. It was fun and my team came third.

I ate my sausage at lunchtime under the of trees - it felt like summertime.

I had such a great black out day and I really hope that the All Blacks can win tonight. My brother is supporting Tonga, but I don’t know if they will win.

Cross Country

As I walked to the ten year old cross country boys row I was eagerly awaiting to start the race. There were so much boys that I and Rocky were all the way at the back. Waiting for a long time the little kids all ready started there race.

I felt really nervous as I was sitting on the court which was warm. I really thought I was going to become at the back of the race. I was so lucky that I did not come at the back of the pack because I wasn't aiming for that position.

Walking to the start line I burst like a bolt of fire trying to not come last. Slowing down half way of the track my heart was pounding thinking that this will never end.
Exhausted and drained my lungs were burning unable to continue.

Finishing the race I was tired and happy at the same time, because at least I finished the cross country. As I got closer to the end I collapsed like stacks of blocks that got blown by the wind.

It was so cool but I was sad because I wasn't near the all the people that were coming first. But anyway I might beat them next year.

Manu Samoa Rugby Team

As I reached the Airport I was cold and it was taking a long time for the Manu Samoa Rugby Team to arrive. I was so cold that I just went and sat down at the Mc Donald's because the Manu Samoa were arriving on a stage outside. When they were on the stage all ready I got up and ran to see my dads favorite player which was number 7.

When I saw my mum and my sisters I wondered where my dad was because I didn't see him since he went and parked our car. So I went and looked for him and I saw him with my uncle. While I was next to them I got bored,so I went and painted my face. When I finish painting my face I went to my dad , but the weird thing was that my dad did not recognize me.

After it finished my dad went to the bus and tried to take pictures of his favorite player. My mum and I went and looked for my dad because we were lost because my dad and my sisters ran off. So I went and sat down waiting for my dad and my sisters to come. At last we saw them, I ran to the car so I can beep the horn because thats what all the other cars were doing.

Jonah Lomu

As soon as the beep went I jogged to the cones and back until we’ll get terrified by this beep test. A lot of people didn't do that well because it was some hard work, but it was a little bit difficult for me because I wanted to finish at level 15 but I got really tired so I dropped out. My level for the beep test was 11.0 but my goal for next time is 13.4, I hope I can get even better than 13.4.
