camp reflection

On the 21st of november all the year sixes went to camp at borland logde.  It was fun but I would like it if we done everything at Stewart Island.  I would like it if we choose our groups.  We done lots of activitys and they were all really fun.  Next year you should choose the groups that you go in.  Advice for next year, take lots of bug spray.

I learnt that there is a back up belayer when rock climbing.
I had to do rock climbing because it was a task on camp.
Next time I will climb to the top faster.

On Monday the 14th of November I played golf in the Queens park golf tournament.  I learnt that there is a lot of walking around to do and you get sore legs.  I competed because I like playing golf and also I like to play sports.  Next time I will hit the ball much harder so it goes further.  Also my team came fifth!!!!!

on the 7th of november Myross bush school had a wonderful awesome school pet day.  Everyone from around the community came streaming in with pets because they all wanted to win wonderful ribbons.
Myross bush school had this wonderful pet day to fundraise for the school board of trusties.  There was everything from tractor rides to ponies it was so fun!!!!!
I sure can't wait till next year

I played tennis in a tournament on Tuesday.
I competed because I love tennis and I got better at serving in the wind.
Next time I will wait for the wind to stop.

My perswasize writing

Dear Mr Herring

I strongly believe that we should play more games outside because people are getting more and more obese   each day. Also we need more exercise.

Firstly, we have lots of technology and all we do is sit down and look at the screen.  I think having 21st century skills are great to have but we need more exercise.  We should also save some money and spend it all on technology and spend the savings on some more sports gear.

Secondly, we are a country school so we should be outside learning, because we can take in the beautiful scenery we need to appreciate what we have in the country.  We could also invite in some sports players like Jason Rutledge, Pete White maybe even a cyclist to encourage us to get outside.  Kaitlyn my friend says " we should get outside and be active also we need to get vitamin D into our bodies."

Thirdly, did you know that 1,128,500 NZ adults are over weight,  826,100 NZ adults are obese. I learnt that from the ministry of health. That is because we're not getting enough exercise. To encourage ourselves to get outside we could play: blob tag, farmer farmer, cricket , play ground explosion and king dodge.  Just to name a few!  Did you know that is bad for your health to get obese and you can die from obesity its almost like smoking but you get fatter.

Lastly, we shouldn't spend so much on technology and by another tennis court because how would you like it if you where going for a social hit of tennis with your friend and 30 other children come and have a hit too?  Also when your class is going outside for a game and the grass is wet, the activity centre is being used and there is an other class on the tennis court then you have to share, then your all squashed up and it is not fun.

In conclusion  we should get out side more.  Save some money and not spend it all on technology we could save up for another tennis court.  We need to get outside because do you want to look like the fat lazy obese people of wally or do you want a wonderful beach body.  That is why we should get outside and play more games.

My trip to candy land

One day I was sitting on the couch watching tv, thinking “Do I need to be doing this?”  so I started to think no. First I started to think “Maybe I could build a tree hut” “Done that” hmm maybe I could go for a swim “no way” then I went to the back of my mind and Candy Land popped out of nowhere .

Yes, that’s what I want to do.  So I went and got a bag and packed  a drink bottle, some flowers, a bicycle, some food and my monkey and set off to start my journey. I walked through some long grass, clip, clap, clip, clap, clip, clap. I stomped through some mud, squish, squelch, squish, squelch, squish, squelch through some snow. Brrrr,  really cold. Maybe I should of packed some warmer clothes. Oh well, if I’m lucky I might be able to borrow some. They have got to have some warm clothes.

Then at that moment I saw a sign that says ‘California’. I then saw a sign that says ‘Candyland’ with an arrow sticking out of it pointing down a path. It was so wiggly and it had walls of snow. It felt like it was -15 degrees (to me that is). About half an hour later I saw an end with a little round area, then out of the corner of my eye I saw a door. A tinniest tiniest door, it was so small. it was smaller than my hand . How am I ever going to get through there. Then I heard a little voice. It was the door talking. I’ve never heard a door talk before and then the weirdest thing happened, a table leaped from the snow wall and landed on its four legs and out came a bottle and a little sign that said ‘drink me’.  So I did and I was getting smaller or the room was getting bigger. I then saw a key. I  picked up the key and unlocked the door and stepped inside. It was the most beautiful place in the whole entire world. There were: ginger bread men, gummy bears, jelly mushrooms covered in coconut, yum! There was a lot more but I just can’t list them all.

I kept walking and wondered if everyone looked like ginger bread men and girls. I must be different and I looked at myself and saw a beautiful  ginger bread girl. This was awesome. It was like Narnia but better.

Suddenly I heard a big squawk, there was a big shadow that covered over us. It was a big hawks shadow, but this hawk was a real hawk not a pet, not a lolly hawk, an angry, hungry, huge hawk. It had a big huge body with a huge beak, huge claws and it looked hungry… really hungry. He was looking for some people to eat. It grabbed 5 in each claw and 2 in his mouth and I was one of them. His mouth was disgusting. It had all of this ooby gooby slim. I had a plan to get a away,  I’ll grab his gum and when he swallows I won’t go down  I don’t want to die I’m to young to die!!!He flew up so high I couldn’t see the village and I started to get a bit worried.  I then saw a nest on a cliff “phew, at least were safe” then he dropped us. We had a little walk around and all we  could see was blood & bones, rotten skin and people about to get killed. It wasn’t a pretty sight.




I looked down and saw fog and more fog. There is no way of getting down now. I had a brilliant plan “if we jump” I was telling everyone else but of course they didn’t be leave me “he will catch us if he really wants us” so I decided my plan was stupid. So I did it. I don’t know why? 3, 2, 1… aaaaaaahhhhhhhh I just jumped. Why did I do that? Somebody save me. It was kind of fun, and it kind of felt like I was flying. Wow this is amazing. Oh no, the fun came to an end.

 I can see a patch of mushrooms so, head down, thumbs in and head for the landing spot. Bump, boof, pow! I landed in the yummiest landing spot in the world. Hurray! I’m alive, now its time to explore the rest of the village. I went into a few shops and bought a few things then I went to a lolly shop. It was closed so I looked at the town clock. Oh no it’s time for me to leave.

I started to head back to the door and nearly left. Before I walked through the door I ran and took a big bite of a mushroom.  I went back to the table and I wondered how will I get back to normal size. I then saw a little box that said “eat me” so I ate it and I became normal size again.  I had to walk down the cold wiggly path back threw the snow… brrrrr. Cold and through the mud squish, squelch, squish, squelch through the long grass. Clip, clop, clip, clop and back home. I wonder what happened to the hawk’s food. Atleast I got away.


Well I’m home, everyone was having tea then mum started yelling ”Simone where have you been. We have been worried sick about you” she shouted. ”in Candyland” I said “nonsence” I knew this would of happened. Oh well asleast  I had fun!

How a candle works

How a candle works.

 

A candle is made out of hard wax and a wick. A candle is something that will light up if you light the wick on fire you need matches for these to light up.

What causes a candle to work is Oxygen, hard wax, candle, wick, matches.

What effect change, the hard wax turns into liquid wax, the oxygen turns into gas.

How wax ends up on the wick of the candle?

A wick soaks up the wax on the inside of the candle and that's how the wick gets wax on it.

My learning skills

Hi everyone this is about learning skills I know everyone has them but they are all different.  The learning skills that I'm learning about are tidy numbers there numbers that you round up numbers here is a sum that I will show 23 + 8 = 31 you can make this sum easier by rounding the number up to the nerest ten so you could make it 30 + 1 it would still have the same answer.

 

 

see it makes maths a bit easier.

Homework should be banned

Hi this is a piece of work that I'm not to sure if it's good so I need you to tell me.

 

Homework: what is the point of homework?. I think it is just what you have done at school and you're doing it at home is there really a point about it think about it just think about it, the only point is that your teachers are making you redo it and memorise it but don't stop your class from doing it!.  I find spelling words there the best because you get to practise them if you get it wrong. Sometimes I think about it as punishment because if you get one word wrong in your writing then you get it in your homework.

 

so what do you think of it.
