I'm a storyteller.  It was one sweaty hot summer afternoon and it was about 4 or 5 pm, the sun started to go down in New Zealand. There were storks that looked happy in peace but the clouds ,oooooh, very cool, they were full of colors.  The clouds were making cats and dogs were getting made babies were getting made. But there was one cloud that caught my eye the cloud was like a storm but the cloud seemed happy he made an alligator the alligator opened its mouth and closed its mouth on the stork the stork was scared but still took the gator there were other animals to but they were happy but they didn’t be nice to the storks but there was one animal what the stork didn't take the animal then the dark cloud got angry but one of the storks put a NFL costume on and picked up another animal and were happy.

The ball pit

                                                                                                                                         I was at the place where you get the best Chicken Nuggets yep that’s the  one…... Mcdonald’s! there was a  playground but it wasn't just a general play ground that you would normally play on it was a mega playground! It had monkey bars a slide a maze by the way I got lost.

I was terrified I was anxious I had Goosebumps, big ones on my hands I was thinking what's in the ball pit will I die? I thought to myself i'm not scared. Without even thinking I went down the slide one blink and I was gone. I reached the ball pit but I spun out and went underground. It was as deep as the atlantic ocean my heart was beating not like a general heartbeat but like a ferrari going top speed.

I got up off the ground with a lollipop stuck on my face, I pulled it off and saw a skeleton and nearly fall off the platform! Ahhhhhhh I was standing so close to the top. I started climbing I got close to the to the top and slipped I managed to save myself once again. Eventually I got to the top and put a lollipop in my mouth.  It was delicious!

The cloud

The cloud Story

I was walking down the street and I looked up in the sky. I seen a massive cloud hovering over my head. It looked cool because a traffic light was in the cloud. I followed the cloud and then the cloud. And then it moved in a different direction and I heard a person saying fire and the cloud turned into a Storm And hovered over to the fire. Then the fire started to fade away in the air. And then the cloud faded away in Far Far away hovering over the ocean and it was never seen again.

A few days ago we started writing about this video clip called the cloud and then we had to make a story about the video..

Exploring Blogs

We are learning to create a positive digital footprint.

We often share personal information when we are online. The people we share with could be our friends and family or people we don't know. We need to make smart decisions about what personal information we share online. 

Reflection

This term in maths we have been learning addition subtraction strategies this is my reflection about what stage i am working on and what my next step is here is my video.

Cultural Show

This Term we have been looking at different Cultures. For the last 3 weeks we have been learning a traditional culture dance. I learnt the Sasa. I felt nerves because it was in front of everyone.

The Spencer Park trip

W.A.L.T Write an information report that informs the audience.

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• I use an opening statement that explains the subject of the report.

• The opening statement is followed by sentences that describe the event; what you saw, what you did, how you felt, what you learnt.
• Each paragraph focuses on a different aspect of the topic; travelling, the beach, the lagoon walk, playground.
• A general statement about the topic usually rounds off the report.

The Spencer Park Trip

Last week we went to Spencer park. When we got out of the bus we  split into groups.

At Spencer park there is a flying fox and a forest walk and a beach. We had free time at the beach. I ran around the beach it was fun. Me and Tom made holes in the sand near the water. So when a wave comes some water will go in the hole.

After that we had morning tea then we went for the forest walk. Me and Tom and Hunter found a big mountain of sand. So we walked up to it and jumped off the sand mountain.

Then we had lunch and had a big play after we had a play it was time to leave.

Beach Art

W.A.L.T create an sculpture using objects from the beach what I found. Here is my sculpture. And it's called the feather boat.

The Duathlon day

                                   On Thursday at my School we done the Duathlon. It was a bit hard. A Duathlon is when you Run Bike Run. I think it was fun. Here's a photo of me running.

                      

The book Five Dollars

 

              W.A.L.T  Read between the lines and guess what people are thinking and feeling.
You can infer by looking  for clues about what the author implies but doesn’t state directly. Inferring is reading a book and looking in the writing and you might be able to see some clues the author has gave you.

• We need to find clues to get some answers
• We need to add those clues to what we already know or have read
• There can be more than one correct answer
• We need to be able to support inferences with evidence

I think I can infer a lot of Books.

I was playing playstation and my mum came in and put a box in front of the TV and my mum said "This is for you". Then she pulled the blinds. I couldn't see. I was wondering what was in the box so I opened it and a puppy jumped out. It made me happy but then I seen the dog only had 3 legs. So I chucked the dog but it got up and started playing.
