Rangitoto poem

RANGITOTO POEM!

Rangitoto is a volcano that erupted long ago,

And all it’s lava turned into stone.

Look at the sky, look at the ground

When we reached the top i felt very proud

I was very hot like fire in the air

Some people were so fit they didn’t even care

We all ran down like a pack of cheetahs

We were so hungry we felt like a million pizzas

We smelt the salty sea

The water was as beautiful as can be

I felt very good to be out of the city

I drank all my water and said “oh what a pity!”

On the way up we met Saint Keint School

We were so hot we wanted to take a dip in a pool

My Computer

My computer

I love technology and broccoli when i’m at High School doing astronomy.

Most times I am on my computer,

That when I get bored I go outside and play with my scooter.

I love to be cyber smart,

It gives me a  head start

I love to learn,

It gives me a turn,

I am good in my education,

That when i get older i can make a new recreation

Animation

Animation

Yesterday, was our first day of clubs for term 3.We did a lot of fun activities with Mr Mooyman in room 4. We had to build blocks and after each block we put on we had to take a picture and once we were finished building the blocks to the top we would start taking the blocks off and taking more pictures to form a video. This app was called stop motion.

Once we were finished making our first animation video Mr Moeman gave us some playdo to make another video but Ezekiel and I didn’t make a video.We just did a video of building the blocks and removing the blocks and me dabbing at the end and me doing moon walk. It was very difficult to make the blocks not move out of place.

FIRE!!!

FIRE!!!

On a fine sunny evening, our family, Dad, Mum, Harry, Jacob, and Amy had a BBQ outside in the backyard at 3:35. Because Nan was coming from Australia to help out because grandpa was in hospital.

While dad was cooking the steaks on the BBQ with his brandy, Harry was with his brother jacob struggling to put on his new fancy new tuxedo which he found very uncomfortable to wear in front of other people. Especially when his Nan was coming. She would be snuggling and hugging him all day and he would be really embarrassed.

In the meantime Nan was driving through our house driveway, dad got so dizzy from drinking too much of his brandy and Harry was in his room thinking of something mannered to say to Nan when she walked through the front door.

Harry heard the doorbell ring and supposed it was our cat Prince walking through his cat door until he heard a soft voice.”Hello is anybody there?”.Harry raced down the stairs to open the door and all he saw was a big 6 foot shadow that warped it’s tentacles around him.But when he properly felt it he realised it was his Nan hugging him.Harry had a sigh of relief that it wasn't an alien trying to kill HIM!.

Harry told Nan that we were cooking a BBQ and  that he would take her jacket and all her baggage until he realised she had neither of those things.Harry went to go ask if the food was ready because Nan just arrived.Dad was sitting on the picnic table staring at the sky as if he was in Candy land. I yelled at him to wake up but it seemed to do no affect to him so i yelled even louder, “DAD GET UP!”.The yelling was so loud but still did no affect on him.

Harry sprinted like the wind to the BBQ and tried to turn it off.He lifted up the cover and he jumped as far back as possible because the fire jumped up into his face and nearly burnt his face OFF.He raced to Nan and tried to tell her that dad passed out on the picnic table and the BBQ was on fire.But it was hard to push her away if she went for a hug.

“NAN NAN, FIRE FIRE!”.Nan called the fire brigade and Harry woke dad up by pouring the rest of his brandy on him, in the meantime, Nan got Jacob but sadly could not get Mum.Mum was trapped in her room with the fire and fainted because she inhaled to much smoke.

The firemen ran past me and told Harry to evacuate the house now.Harry raced out out of the house.The firemen took out the fire.The firemen were able to get Mum out of the house.And once the fire was taken out Harry and his family went to visit grandpa and he had recovered.And they all lived happily ever after.

History of Glen Innes

The History of Glen Innes

 

What i know	What i want to know	What i’ve learned

That all the street names are english apart from Taniwha st.	How old is Glen Innes? Why did people use waka (canoes)? Why is Glen Innes called Glen Innes? Why did they used to trade smoked eel in exchange for smoked Mullet? What was the first building in Glen Innes? When was Glen Innes found? What are the main streets in Glen Innes?	Glen Innes was built in 1849 and was found in 1952 which makes it 165 years old People used waka (canoes) because the roads weren’t built so they used the Tamaki River Glen Innes is called Glen Innes because of a man named William Innes Taylor Who owned a big farm on which Glen Innes is built By 1960, 20 shops had been opened for business and a further 16 were under construction.

Military style fitness

Military style fitness

Today, we did fitness in Military style. First we did a little warm up to stretch our muscles. Then we got into groups and picked our two leaders and discussed our chants and what we were going  to do for jogging together as a team. For this we had to use a lot of teamwork strategies and put in a lot of effort in this military style exercise we did today. Our fitness helped us work as a team.

Density

   Density

We did an experiment on density

Question

What happens when you drop an egg into an ordinary glass of water and an egg into salt water?

Observation

1.The egg in the ordinary glass of water sank to the bottom because it wasn't dense enough for the egg to travel through the water.

2.The egg in the salt water floated because the water became dense and the egg couldn't travel through the water because of the density.

Conclusion

This happens because saltwater is denser or heavier than ordinary water. It was easier for the egg to float

Today room 10 had kiwi sports in the hall on Thursday 18 may 2017. There was another coach called Antonia working with Chrissy.

First, We did a warm up shore, shark, sea. We had to run to one side of the hall, when she called shore and if she said sea you run to the other side of the hall. But if you called out shark you run the other side of the hall.

After that, we did four different types of passes, one of them were called a chest pass, the rest of the passes were called bounce pass, overhead, and a shoulder pass. It was very challenging and difficult to try and pass and catch the ball both.

Soon after that, we got in a group of six and one half would go behind a cone which  was on one end of the court and the other half would go on the opposite side.Then we walked with the ball to your other half of the group turning the ball around our weights without dropping the ball. We did three other challenging things were putting the ball through our legs, over and under, and throw the ball up and clap three times before catching the ball. It was very difficult.

Finally, we all came in and put the balls back. This was a lot more challenging than room 10’s first Netball lesson.
