Landing or Taking off

Planes land and take off every time they go to different countries.
This day I was in a car. I saw a plane fly right over me as the car moved. I then looked out more to see if there was one more coming.
Next was a parking lot where you could see a lot more fly above and land. There I saw 2 taking off and 2 landing. As I watched it, I saw that the plane was peppering to land and opening up it's wheels.
This looked amazing.  Have you ever been on a plane before?

Butterfly Creek where Animals Live

This day is such a surprising and sunny day to go Butterfly Creek. I can't wait.
After everybody has packed everything it is time to blast off to Butterfly Creek.
As we parked up ,stopped, got out and headed to the entrance, my hands were shaking with excitement.
 It was amazing looking at all those toys of insects but not as amazing as seeing the butterfly's. But before that of course we had to pay.  This lady strapped a band around my wrist and a stamp on top of my hand, even to my baby brother.
First was the fish. There were big fish, small fish, colorful fish or just plain. I even saw one fish chasing another like tag. There then came  a humongous fish that swam by, but I thought it was guarding up top.
Next was the butterfly's. This room was hot, good thing I wore a t- shirt. Just to be warned the butterfly's are not at all locked up in a cage, they fly around free. One had colours everywhere but the other was just coloured blue. But I saw a butterfly dead inside the pond. That was sad.
But there were more, there were monkeys hanging from tree to tree.
After wards it was crocodiles. I was scared and hid behind my dads back. There were one BIG crocodile looking right at me, freaky. Also there was a little lizard looking. It came right to me and stopped.
I began shaking, this is the room with spiders in it. Aaaaaaaaa. I saw such a big big big fluffy spider in a little dolls house, and in the desert, and in the forest but anywhere. this was a scary room, so I left.
Farm or train. Farm. In the farm where all the sheep and horses and goats and pigs and chickens and parrots and bunny's and kangaroos were keepen, is where I fed animals. This is what I liked best, feeding the animals. They lick and tickle on your hand like they are about to eat your hand. But I really liked this.
''Time to go'' shouted my dad to me. ''Okay'' I answered. Today was the day I would never forget. 

Grandpas Special Day

This was a special day for one person in the house, my grandpa, Tai.  It was his birthday.
At first I wished my grandpa a Happy birthday and gave my card. For a few hours my grandpa visited all his friends and had lunch. That is when my mum made butterfly cupcakes with her yummy home made biscuits, as my dad made a barbecue.
A bit later my grandpa arrived with a cake with strawberry's on top.

As it got dark it was time to eat the barbecue. I ate a sausage in a bread, chicken, chips and vegetable's. The last thing was cake. We sang Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you as he blew the candle out. I ate mine up in one gulp.
As I headed to bed I hugged my grandpa and went to sleep.

Gummy Gummy Gummy Bears

I fell asleep and dreamt of kind, gentle gummy bears.
As I walked into the land of gummy bears I saw candy and chocolate
There were candy canes, ice cream, lollie pops, bars of chocolate and even jelly. I started to eat some.
Then I have arrived to the kingdom of gummy bears, and their kingdom had icing all over.
That day they were very kind, but the next they weren't at all.
Since all the gummy bears had knew I ate their land they never ever let me inside their kingdom again. So I was very very upset of them and they felt happy.
I woke up feeling upset and lonely.

Night Market

Night market, I heard my dad say.
This night market is in Pakuraga every Saturday and this Saturday we were all going there.
As we got to the entrance, we each started walking down towards the first isle. We looked at watches, toys, hats and more. The second isle was lights massage fruit and t- shirts. And the third, which was the food isle.
My dinner was dumplings, my next was kebab and for my treat I had an ice cream. I then waited with my dad in the noodle shop well my sister, mum and baby brother waited in the car. It was ready.
When we were on the way home I was thinking about my sleep.

Holidays are surprising

But only because of YOU

Good Luck

This day started when I woke up, went toilet,  eat breakfast and then get dressed. All I wanted to do was play games.
Today was going to be the most awesome day. Kelvin, my dad, Angela my mum, Destiny my sister, Leroy my baby brother and myself went for a trip to Town.
But before we boarded, each of us needed a ticket.
It is my baby brothers first train ride and he quite enjoyed it. As the train stopped by the train station, we all got off. Before entering all the people scanned their tickets. I scanned mine too.
Once we were outside, it was time to explore. We walked and walked and walked until I had pain in my legs. But it went in a flash when we arrived to the center. It had rides, ice skating and a lot more.
As I watched the rides go, I ate my lunch.
After all that excitement, we entered a new place. It was the spaces which are games. My sister and I each got given $5.
The best game I liked was the car game. 2 coins, one game it said, so I entered my two coins. START.
First was forwards, then side and then the other side. It was so hard. But then it came to a conner, and in that conner I did not crash at all.
Game Over.
Next I tried the magic key. All I had to do was get the key right in the middle of the item, and that item was a I Pad. I tried once, twice and three times but it didn't work, so that was it.
We all thanked our mum and dad for the such fun we had. I really really really loved today.

Light Night of Matariki

Every Sarurday it is Matariki light night and it is AMAZING.
 There were shapes, a bunny, reindeer and a lot more.  There was even a park.
It got darker and darker, but the lights got lighter and lighter. We then saw the end and felt a bit sad there were no more. But on the way out I recognized that all this was celebrating MATARIKI.

The Extraordinary Adventures of Travelling Ted

In the classroom ,one at a time, each child takes Ted home for the holidays.
While Ted was sitting on the desk he accidently fell into Phoenix's bag. Along came Phoenix, grabbed his bag and left for home. Once Phoenix got home and opened his bag he found Ted.
Phoenix liked to do everything with Ted, sleeping, reading stories and even skiing. Nana said to take a first aid kit incase.
 They were having fun skiing, until they both crashed. Ted knew what to do, he should find the whistle. So ted found the whistle and called for help. Some people came to rescue Phoenix and left Ted behind. Suddenly a furry creature came over and took Ted to his cave. Phoenix started to miss Ted. But then one day there came a knock. And Ted was at the door.
The next day it was school day. Phoenix bought a lot of pictures of him and Ted along with him.
But Ted knew about another adventure he could go on.

Water Cycle

WALT write a water cycle report

I know I can do this when

• I can plan my writing using a mind map
• I can group my ideas under headings
• I can group my ideas into paragraphs
• I can write an introduction and a conclusion
• I can introduce each paragraph by using a topic sentence
• I can put material into my own words

This is my water cycle report. 

In the water cycle there are three parts. One is Rain, another is Water storage, Vapor and Clouds.  This is how it goes.

Precipitation occurs is when rain falls out of the clouds and covers the whole earth.The clouds are heavy and can’t  hold the rain in . Hail freezes up in  the clouds and hail comes out,but if it does not freeze rain comes out. Out the rain comes and covers every where. It fills up lakes, streams and oceans. When rain falls it turns into hail or snow. Sleet is a type of hail.

The water falls out of the clouds and rains and rains. First the water falls onto the surface of the earth. All the water gets soaked up to the underground. It is storing the water till it stops raining. When the underground is storing the water, it is called aquifer.  Water is needed for the earth. People pump the water up and it gets sucked out.

Once the rain has stopped the sun comes out. The water that is keeped underground starts to rise up. It heats up from the land or the ground. All of the  water goes into the trees and plants, until it gets hotter  and starts to turn into steam, or vapor. The sun begins to get hotter and the water starts to rise up to the clouds. That is Transpiration.

It rains, until the sun comes out. The sun heats the water into steam and it rises up to the clouds.  When vapor in the air gets cold, it turns into liquid. That is called condensation.

It freezes into ice until it turns hot. That is when it goes back up into the clouds until it gets heavy again. That is called the water cycle.

The water cycle will never end, it goes round and round, starting all over again. It rains and rains and rains.

Poverty Video

WALT tell the people in Room Five about the impact water of unclean water on poverty.

Enjoyable Fun

The bell rang and school was over, but not my learning. I had swimming lessons at the Y.M.C.A pools.
Once I got there I saw my friend's, Chaim and Kevin. They told me they were trialing. Trailing is when you try out for a group, and they were trying out for swim 4. We were waiting and waiting and waiting until we got bored. So up we got and started to play a game. Actually a lot of games. Breathing compition, water tag and racing. Me Kevin, Chaim, my sister and I played Breathing compition. I came first, Kevin came first and my sister, but Chaim stopped half way. We got really tired , so I came up with an idea. Lets play water tag. " Run, run" we shouted. Kevin was in, my sister was in, I was in and Chaim was in. It was enjoyable until our teacher arrived. I LOVED swimming time.
