Swimming

In our class we have been going to swimming lesson every Wednesday, during swimming lessons I was doing work because I was not allowed to swim due to problems I had.

Well, what I learnt was a technique that will keep your temperature warm well you are cold in the sea called the“Huddle”if you are with many people you should make a circle(facing Inwards like a football team huddling) so you can share the body heat to each others keeping the temperature warm not risking your life getting hypothermia, if you are going “SOLO” you should cross your arms and legs lifting your knees up near your chest to keep your temperature warm called the “HELP”(heat escape lessening position).

I learn also that if your boat capsized in the middle of nowhere in the sea you should grab any floating object that's nearby and wait for rescue.

“A MUST DO THING BEFORE ENTERING THE WATER” Wear a life jacket, It could save your life.

Manaiakalani Film Festival

Every year on a day we have a film festival called the “Manaiakalani Film Festival”, schools from around the area make films that will be showed at  Hoyts at Sylvia Park.

Our class(room 19) made a  wonderful movie related to how you treat people.

Wednesday was the day were our year 7’s and 8’s was taken to the great hoyts we watched 20 different movies from other school and our school too.

I thought all the movies was great but the two movies that got my attention was room 18 silent  movie from PES and the “One direction” movie from TC.

The film festival was fun and I hope next year I get to see other fantastic movies from school around the area.

Driving To His Goals

After two years since the accident Matt made to Robs car, Matt was ready to learn how to drive, he jump in the drivers seat and this time he was tall enough to reach his legs to the pedals.

Rob the owner of the car taught him all the basic skills to drive,then he took him for a little spin,after 3 more years matt was able to drive,he was going to go get his license but first he had to do a test, his first test he was 20% low to be able to get his license ,then he came the next day to try again but he was 30% lower this time.

After he tried and tried he went be to Rob because he was sick of the test,Rob threw his car keys to Matt thinking that he had his license and then they zoomed off in the red car.

Matt was feeling at the top of the world until he and Rob was stopped by the police,Rob didn’t worry but Matt did,the police ask for his license but he said he didn’t have one, he was soon given a warning for driving without license.

Matt soon went back to study for his next test, he stayed up for the next few month up till 1 in the morning before getting knocked at from being tried.

The day of the test he was confident that he was going to pass,the test went on and he was on fire, he wrote this and trick that and did everything that he studied about, then he waited.

Soon his result come to his face and his face was full of excitement,he went to Rob house and then he drove the car away with happiness.

Roller coaster of death!!

Stories that people tell that people enter the roller coaster and neve
In one terrifying night in every year the roller coaster will open a pr see anyone come out at the end, stories that will haunt family’s forever
ortal to an unknown place if a person is on it, the roller coaster got shut down and was not ride for years until three boys came to visit their grandmother and saw the abundant roller coaster.They were so unsure why it was closed down, one of them looked at the sign and it said ”do not enter.” They heard a voice coming from the roller coaster,”we need help” then the voice faded away.

The boys soon ran home and told each other’s they will never return, The next day they saw their grandmother running to the abundant roller coaster and started talking to it, it was weird so the three young boys went out to investigate, the boys couldn’t hear anything but they could see the Avatar just standing on the track.

Soon the grandma went into a portal with the blue man and disappeared, the boys followed in a rollercoaster cart, when they got in the place there stomach felt so weird because the roller coaster was going to fast, when they go in wicked place they saw  scary masks stuck on the walls,very soon the boys got creeped out and started running, soon the mask’s started talking and the boys started to sprint , soon they ran into her grandmother, she started saying” how ,what, oh my gosh” and then she started freaking out,suddenly the floor open up and sucked the boys and their grandmother and the blue Avater, soon they found hanging at the top of a lava pool, soon a man come wearing black walking with a evil look” you should've not come you little bratz” the boys were scared......

To be Continued

Money in the air!!

In a poor town where people fight for money, every year there would be wars over money, many people would die , families would move away and never return.Soon a family move into the violent town but did not know the town was so harmful, next few weeks there house was robbed day after day, one day the family's money was taken by crooks, they were devastated.

They soon went to a church and started to pray that no one would steal anything  from there home anymore, the next few months nothing was stolen, they were happy but they have no money so they hadn't eaten for months so they prayed and prayed and prayed, the next day the clouds turned green, they never seen clouds like those ever before.

Soon the sky started raining money, the family said it was a “MIRACLE” , everyone got money and for the past few years the whole town had money and more money and even more money, there were no more wars and the town ended up being one of the richest towns in the world.

Danger's of smoking!

In our class we have been researching the danger of smoking.We have been looking for what the smokes does when you inhale it and what's disease you get when you smoke. 

Smoking? Well it’s just not for human’s, people dying from smoking and getting many disease, plus children's inhaling the smoke and dying from it as well. Smoking is just like a bomb, that you take everyday and one day it blows up inside of you.  In my opinion smokes are death sticks in our world.


Smoking is mostly possible to give you a heart disease and eventually kill you, Heart disease and strokes is the most possible disease you will get when you smoke. Smoking can also get you other disease like cancer,AIDS,HIV,Brain damage and many others.

I Believe that smoking is not good for our world. Our world will be better without cigarettes and smokes. Smoking not my future.

School Cross Country

Blue,Red,Yellow and green, It was what everyone was wearing, Sitting on the court waiting for the year 7’s to take off,”bang” as  they took off I saw many other Year 5's and 4's coming back so tired, I ask myself ''How am I going to run all that way without getting puffed out”?

Soon all of the year 8’s stood up to go in their starting position,I was confident until I saw many fit people challenging against me,”Bang”we all took off jogging until we got near to the reserve, buufff! one went past then another ,then another soon I just got tired and started to jog but I did not give up, I caught up to one of our runners and it was Havea, We just ran and ran but we always ran into people so I started to slow down and Havea took off .

Soon I ran into a massive puddle. I got sucked in the mud and it nearly took my shoe off , Soon my shorts were covered with black brownish slimy gunch of mud but its was still fun. Pushing my exhausting body to my limit I sadly came 4th but I still go to the Inter-zone. I am not proud of myself because I could do better but next time I will start training more.

Tyson Gay inspires me because he worked so hard to achieve his goals.Gay was a low graded student in school but his running skills was amazing,he was the state fastest runner in 100m race.

Tyson was encouraged by his mother and began to train hard at school and sprinting up  hills near the neighbourhood, Tyson would always train with his sister and began to work harder on his starting technique,Tyson was inspired by her sister and trained to be the best.

Tyson inspired me by making me train harder and making me going to the limit when I sprint.

When is the right time to swear

In our class we have been reading an article about a US town banning swearing. This town is near Boston and they wanted the loud swearing to stop, the residents agreed to fine anyone that swears out loud  $20 US dollars. In the class we had to write about:
 
'When Is The Right Time To Swear'

The right time to swear is never because what you say will demonstrate what kind of person you are. Swearing is a bad thing because it could make families angry and want to get in a brawl with your family. 


In some families there are different rules about profanity (swearing). You can have time-out or worse for swearing, 


Swearing can be so hard to keep in when you're angry at someone or something so make up a word that's not bad like "fudge" instead of saying 'f***'.

Duffy show

Walking in the rain ,trying to get to the hall for the Duffy show. It was crowded and full of red Polo shirt kids that want to see the magnificent Duffy show. 3 professional actors ,acted as Duffy,Marvell, Scruffy and so on, they came to show us some great thing to make us love reading more.

When we got there, we just made it for the beginning because we just came from Tamaki College.

They told us some ground rules before starting the show. After they told us the rule they began the first scene . It was about the garage sale,Duffy and his brother Scruffy when in to a big box and started though random things out. Soon Duffy found his old book and started to read , but his brother wanted to play with him ,but Duffy was buzzing reading his book.

The second scene was about The best book in the world.Marvell( the best book in the world) Told Duffy about her journey to becoming the best book in the world .She told Duffy were she was first seen , in the book store. She was just laying their until the door bell ringed. It was was a costumer that wanted a book for her daughter Emmy. He wanted her to love reading. Every day Emmy went out she toke Marvell.But soon Emmy got older an older and forgot about her book.

Next, It was about Emmy Son Rocky and he found the best book in the world and went in to an adventure. His adventure was being a sailing trip and being the basest pirate on the sea . It was on a rocky adventure and the boat nearly sank.They had to rewind back when they crashed in to a pile of rock and fix it by not crashing in to the pile of rock.

After it was the start of the next scene,it was about getting a break with the best book in the world . It was about a boy that was all that and was angry . But Marvell the best book in the world made him enjoy reading so he came to the library every day.

Soon the Duffy show was finished and everyone went sad. It was time for us to go back to class. All of our laugh and our enjoyment was fun and we can't wait for next year.

Here is a drawing of Duffy!

Blocking my view ,trying to see what we were going to do, a class was still play because they came late.We had to wait a few minute for them to finish.

Every Thursday from now on we are participating in a fun sport what we call netball.Our fantastic netball teacher was Miss Liz and she was going teacher us some netball drill.

The first drill of the day was the passing drill.A half the class had to wear bibs but the other half had no bibs.We had to get in to 6 lines and we had to face our partner(bibs to non bibs) standing on a X that was marked on the ground or a circle blue flag.Liz choose two people to call our a number and each time they said a number we had to past the ball to our partner.

Very soon we moved on to a game.We had two team, and we had four corners with blue circle flags on the ground and we had to try hit it with the ball,but we had to do netball rule.It was so not fair because the other team had 7 people and we only had 4 , but still we won.We jumped like Kangaroos , passed as fast as a cheetahs and stand like harden up concrete, it was really fun until we had to go .

It was so fun and I can’t wait for our next netball session .

Today we have been doing some research on the internet of what an Ex line , a why line,a Discrete graph and a Continuous graph is.An Ex and a Why is 2 lines on a graph , an ex is a Horizontal line and the why is the Vertical line on the graph.The Discrete graph is a graph that work with the Continuous chart. The Continuous graph adds on and on but the Discrete graph take away and away.

Here are some drawing of some graphs with the Ex and the Why.

Boom's out day in the holiday!!!

During my holiday ,I been out on adventure like being at the farm and going to place I never been too.My best fun day out was going to Paraki springs with my whole church.It was so big and it had two big slides.

When we got to Paraki spring we were the last family to get their,I was so excited to jump in the pool.As fast as possible I ran to the changing room and jumped in the pool and made a big bomb.

During the day I ran in to Joe and Casey.Me and Joe went to the pool with his brother and their friends.We were just playing then I had to go to eat our food,we ate chickens, potatoes,sausages,patties and breads.After minute of eating me and my cousin and friends went to the slide and started to do train's,it was pretty bad because we weren't allowed to do it.

Soon we were pulled out of the pool because someone did a accident in side the pool.It was really not fear because were freezing, so we headed up to the slide.After 20 or more slides the pool was open and we all rushed in .

Drying up, it was time for us to all go home.it was pretty exhausting but at least we had fun and no one got hurt.I'm going to miss Paraki spring,Bye!!
