Athletics!

Hi Today i'm going to tell you about my Athletics day. We did Long jump, High jump, Shot put, Sprints Long distance, Discus, and 2 rest's. When Athletics started I felt so nervous and I didn't want to do it. When it was our turn the 8 and 7 year old girls. when it was are turn the 7 years old girl went first. Then the 8 years old girl went next. So after the 7 years old race it was the 8 years old and when I race I came 2 place and I was so happy about it and then I went in the final and when I race in the final I came 5 place in the final it was harder then the first race I had.

After all of the events we had. My favorite parts of the day is shot put because I came first. Now for my goal for next year is to try to get better at doing Discus.

Hi. In class we have been practicing our dance with our song. It is called "Outlook for Thursday" by DD Smash with Dave Dobbyn. This song was made in 1983 and we did a performance last night at Hornby high school Auditorium and we also have another performance tonight at 6:00 p.m. 

I was feeling very nervous before I went on stage but once I started to dance I felt happy and really enjoyed it. Later I sang and danced with all of the class to "Why Does Love do this To Me" by The Dance Exponents. Afterwards I felt very tired and proud of myself.

Once upon a time there was a piggy called Ormie he is so hungry all the time he wouldn’t stop eating he mother alway say to Ormie

“stop eating or you're going to get a big tummy soon. So stop eating”

so he said in his own mind

“Ormie mum can’t stop him from eating”

So he walk to the kitchen and he look in the fridge and there was nothing in the fridge to eat so he look on top of the fridge and there was cookies. On top of the fridge and he was trying to get some stuff where you can get the cookie he was just grabbing random stuff to get the cookie to get them Ormie said something in his mind again he said I won’t eat anymore my last thing to eat is just only eat cookie I just want to get 1 or 2 cookie.Ormie look like pink skin he has black eye like his own mother and he has a big nose and a big tummy he has a funny personality.  

First thing he was trying to get the cookie was a brome the brome didn’t work because the cookie jar was move back with the brome so I thought of something else instead so I got a stall and I jump super high as I could but it didn’t work  I got some book that I read but I  stack my book up and then I got I Surfboard and then I got a  Bowling ball and then Ormie got hurt very badly.

Ormie had an idea to make stairs so that what Ormie did. He grabbed all the boxes he could find. He stacked the boxes up to the cookies so he could eat one. Then Ormie got to the top of the boxes and he heard a weird noise he thought it was something and the house. But it was actually the boxes then he fall down on the floor.

Ormie had another idea to use trampoline to bounce him up to the cookies. He grabbed the trampoline and was getting ready to jump high  and when Ormie jump and try to get the cookies he made a big hole in the middle of the trampoline so he try something else instand so I use the tollit thing what you have to clean out the tollit Ormie was climbing up the fridge and when Ormie was climbing up the fridge and the cleaning thing was Stuck to the fridge and Ormie couldn’t move anymore  Ormie was polling and polling then Ormie jump off the fridge and the plungers went on Ormie head and back.

So then he use a train swords and Ormie cut around the fridge and then the fridge fall down and then Ormie jump down and then he saw the fridge and the cookie was still on top of the fridge and then Ormie was shaking the fridge and there was cookies fall on the ground and Ormie was going to eat a cookie then the jar fall on Ormie head so he couldn’t one cookie

Then I look down and it wasn’t there I looked up again and the doll was on the shelf and I said “how did that doll go up to that shelf.” I saw the doll on the shelf, I was climbing up to get the doll off the shelf and I took my glove off with my teeth and I was going to get the doll off the shelf and that doll was alive so I said to myself “this is a haunted shop.”

That how I became a doll forever. Now I have heaps of doll friend now  I can talk to them now I love being a doll it amazing. The end

High Diving Giraffes

Once upon a time there was a lot of giraffes and they wanted to go to the swimming pool. They went out of their cage and into the building with the swimming pool. After they got in the building they went to the changing rooms. When they were coming out of the changing rooms they came walking in a straight line towards the swimming pool.

Then the first giraffe went then some others went as well. One giraffe went on the swing and the second giraffes went and ran towards the giraffe. The giraffe just touched the giraffe so he could flip and went into the water. Then the giraffes were going again and again they didn’t want to stop!

Finally they are so tired they went back to their cage and went straight to sleep, “zzzzzzzzz”

Grace’s mum came into my bedroom and told Grace to go to sleep, she said to me “you have to go to sleep to because tomorrow is christmas and santa won’t come if you don’t sleep that’s why you need to have a good night sleep ok. mummy goodnight.”

Grace’s dad was making a trampoline for grace while he was making a trampoline he cut himself badly. Then when he was finished making it he was very impressed with what he had done.

When grace's Dad was finished he watched Tv with Mum. Some animals came on the new trampoline. First animal were 2 foxes and then the other animal was a skunk and then a squirrel than a hedgehog. They were still jumping and jumping they wouldn’t stop.

When it was the morning I had a drink of hot chocolate and some delicious pancakes I had some syrup on my pancakes. I was rushing to finish.. When I went to the sliding door there was heaps of snow it was like rainbow sprinkles and I was so so happy. I ran towards the trampoline as fast as lighting and jumped up and down happily. Then we opened the rest of our presents and had Christmas lunch. This was the best Christmas in the whole world.

Adventure are the Pits

I was at my big sister’s farewell party. I was so worried to go down the slide. My mouth was shaking so fast and I couldn’t stop, so I took a big breath and I went down it.  I was screaming.

When I went down the slide I was fell in the ball pit. I hurt myself so badly. When I touched my face a colourful lollipop was on my face and my face it was not clean. I said to myself  “eww that gross,” so I pulled the lollipop off my face.

I was trying to climb up again. I could climb up but there was something. I had to jump on it but  I was too scared to do. It was like I had to go down the slide. I jumped and I said to myself “that wasn’t hard after all.” It was so scary like going down the slide. I almost fell off and I was freaking out I said “today is a bad day.”

A bloody plaster was on top of one colourful balls and the blaster dropped on my face, then the bloody blaster went in my mouth and it was gross. I took off the plaster with my two hand then I almost fell off and another lollipop held me up so that I did not fall. The lollipop saved my life! I got out finally I got out it like it took me like 1 hour so I said “should I eat this,”. I picked up some balls and threw them in the air.

The End

Beyond the Lines

         Beyond the lines

It was the first battle of the world war, it was muddy and it look gross and disgusting. We were running toward the enemy’s soldiers with our guns ready. The reason we came here is our grandad told us all about the war, we thought it was awesome and scary. He also told us our dad was going to the war this year.

My brother accidentally fell over and heaps of shooting noises scared me, I looked behind me and heaps of soldiers were dying. I helped my brother up to his feet and we started running again. A bomb nearly killed us but we didn't fall over.

Then we found a place to hide from getting shot. I was looking after my little brother to keep him safe and me safe, or this whole war I will be by my side at all times. After I told my little brother all that we finally  found our dad after all this searching.

When we got to him a bomb went off, the person that was there when it went off got killed. We saw heaps and heaps of people who were dying. Dad said “I need to help.”

Dad’s brother died, it broke my Dad’s heart.

The end.

I am getting ready for my incredible adventure to save my six brothers and the princess brides. Someone took my six brothers and the princess brides and I don’t know who took them away so I had to go on the adventure. I was terrified to go but I had to do it. I was trying to be brave but I can’t.

When I got to the forest it was so snowy. I was so proud of myself  because I did it. I was so worried about it,  I don’t have a plan to save my six brothers and the princess brides but when I was looking around I saw a glowing sword on the ground. When I picked it up it was so heavy.

I heard something and I accidentally dropped the sword. But I didn’t drop it on my feet or that would hurt so badly. I still hadn’t thought of a plan, it is taking forever but I couldn’t help them at the moment because I am a size as a thumb.

They were in a tall castle

I wish I could be tall as the castle because I don’t like being the size of a thumb because when I have to save someone I am too small so I can’t help them. I really want to help people who are in danger.

I got the sword and it was glowing again, when it glowed it hurt my eye because it very close to me. It’s so shiny like the sun but the sword is shinier. I like shiny things because it’s so pretty. I saw when I was looking around again I so something but I didn’t know what it was so I walk off.

My Learning Goal 2017

Last week I had my parent teacher interviews. I had to show my Mum my learning goals for this year. I'm going to show you my learning goals on my blog post.

To achieve these goals I have to work really hard and try my best.

Here it is:

My Ruin Story

I was in place called Heaven Nanotech there was a big box, it was even bigger than me. I  kicked it super hard and I knew all of my power and strength was almost gone. The colour of the box was silver. I walked down the broken steps it was scary. I am  at the bottom and I kicked the box again,  there was something inside. I found a phone in the box it was working but it was cracked.

I was hearing something and I was feeling scared, it was going to me so I look back and I jumped on my motorbike. I was going so fast! it was a rocket ship and there was something coming out it was aiming for me, I was freaked out.

I was on my motorbike and I didn’t look where I was going and I slipped and I said

“oh no! my motorbike is broken” so I was trying to make it work but it didn’t so I had to run with my feet I had to go super fast. The rocket ship was going as fast as lighting. It was still coming for me then I went faster and the rocket ship had something coming out.

I went into  a dark tunnel and I thought the rocket stopped chasing me. I rode faster and faster, It was like winning a race. It was also really dark. I aimed a bomb right at the little robots. They exploded into little pieces.

After that I checked if the little robots were in little pieces and they were. Then the rocket ship came and found me. It tried to shoot me but it didn’t get me. I rode off again.

I saw the rocket ship and it turned around and I got my shocking metal slick and put it in the rocket ship and…

My mission is complete I lived yay.

The end.
