Christmas Holidays

“Yay school is finishing for six weeks shouts the Boys”. Well only one and a half week left of school. “You know what I am going to for the long holidays? I am just sleeping and sleeping and sleeping ” says Jabez. “Me too” said Uili! "for six weeks!"
" Really?" I said.

I just can't wait till school finishes because so many other things are  coming like Christmas, Like when we eat my Mum's chocolate strawberries! Actually it will be fun but also we would miss this year with my friends!

Netbook Reflection 2012

It has been a fabulous year with a netbook and has changed the way that I learn. Also it has been a challenging time for me because the internet can sometimes be slow. I’m looking forward to next year.

I like to be creative and I like to record other people’s digital objects, writing, reading and drawing. I love making up drawings on Tux-Paint. Tux-Paint is a learning tool that helps us draw on these mini laptops. It is very interesting what you learn and all about it.

I would like if we had a netbook cover to put on it. This would help to make sure your battery doesn’t slip out and protect the screen. I would love it if the wireless wasn’t too slow for next year. This slows down my learning and creativity.

Thank you Mrs and Mr Burt and Asus for these netbooks. You have made my year much learning better.

Chicken Twins

Well you know what was funny at school while everyone was at camp? Well if you don't know this is what my story is going to be about.

The funniest thing was that we all were searching up thing that would be funny and someone found a photo of this guy with Mohawk and as you know that chickens have them too. Also it was the same colour orange! So then the tittle was called twins?

"That is cool" said a girl. But it actually is kind a funny. But we seriously loved it so we started to write about it.

A Sad Day

Walking down the road I saw smoke rising in the fresh air that will no longer be fresh but ha I can’t solve that can I know. Guess what it was the dairy on fire and that was one of the places where you could get lollies and fizzy so I saw people dashing out to save the lives then suddenly it all calabed and I felt sad for the people who lived there. They were crying and yelling and more crying and yelling!!!!!!!!!

I heard sirens that were very loud, I think it’s the Fire Engine with ten strong men like me of course. They turned on the Fire Hose and all you could see was a large amount of  water shooting out and it looked awesome. Then it hit me that I would love to be a Fire person and just imagine all the adventurers will have.

Toy Came Alive

Packing up for Toby's 5 Birthday a wearied looking toy ripped out of the box. Ate up all the foods that had been prepared for the vistors and us and it look like it was not friendly. But I was a Toy Robot. 

HHHHOOOOLLLLYYYY that is a awesome toy I said, can I have it Toby NO!! I love this toy and I'm keeping it forever. Then we had been fighting the rest of the day and man the family hated it so they bought me one.

That is what we should do and we all said what Mum what is it, Sharing is what you should do. We all Said Okay and she said if you don't share I will take the TV away from you for three weeks. We did not want that to happen so we shared and shared.

Hey Mum thanks For getting us all a new one so we bought you some flower's.

The Bush Walk

Boy’s how are we today? Okay, if you are okay you should be excited because where going through the BBBUUUSSHHH!!! Yes we final get to go it has been months until dad has just changed his mind. Oh we forgot to tell you our names , Sorry. Hi my name is Bob and mine is Josh where not enjoying it so far if only we had lunch and also we had no car and we all screamed and yelled because we never thought survive. 

We needed food so we had to eat Hu Hu Gubis  and we almost felt sick so we ran to the revolting river to get a nice drink but then we all slipped and fell in river and our parents droned and we did not no how to swim. I spotted a Eel heading start at Mum and Dad but then it saw me and it saved me and my family so we found more Hu Hu Gubis and feed it to then and boy they loved it.

Pouring down was big chumps of rain and it hurt so then we found shelter and found giant leafs. So we made pillows and blankest and that night was a wild night. THe sun peking through the giant leafs we woke up and I found a lizard on my leg and screamed like a girl how feel off a building. Mum and Dad, Bob woke up because how loud it was.

My phone is working said dad, we are going to daily 111 and get the hell out of her then we heard a loud sigren that was loud and they found us so we can final go home and eat and drink and have a shower then on the way home we all argued how would go it the shower first and kept arguing and arguing and it just would not stop.

Me And Some Athlete's

Let's see if you can make a movie like this or better - that's your goal!

Trouble Maker

The Biggest Sneeze

Lisa Carrington's Gold Medal

My favourite athlete is Lisa Carrington. She is an amazing athlete at Canoeing because she came first and won the gold medal this year at the 2012 Olympic Games. Lisa was born in 1989 and where she trains is at Eastern Bay Ohope. She came 1st K2 1000m A Final 2010 World Cup Series. Her favorite food is a slushy (Icy drink) and she lives in a town called Ohope, in New Zealand.

One of Lisa Carrington’s goal was to win a gold medal and she has done it. She competed in the Olympics and reached her goal. Here is a video link about Lisa. She is an amazing athlete to watch and man you had to see her because she was faster than the woman who came first in 2010! (I think).
Just like a tiger hunting for a deer that is totally focused is just like how Lisa got the gold medal. She is not going to keep her eyes off the prize. I’m sure she must have worked hard every morning of the week. I like her cool technique, how she grabs that oar with her long arms and scoops it in the deep water, to reach the finish line. Deep long breaths are helping her body to move even faster.

Make sure you practice because maybe you might be an athlete just like Lisa Carrington. I love canoeing about the same amount as Lisa. I can’t wait until the next Olympics open in Rio in 2016!

Chickens

Chickens are a bird that can fly sometimes. They can lay up to six eggs and that is amazing. There are little baby chicks in the very tiny eggs.



One of my chickens head got chopped off. It was not a black chicken of course. There was a black rooster that was called Guy.



There are five more left. My favourite one is the black rooster. I want 12 more chickens.

I don’t know what I feed them. They live in a cage. The cage is 12 meters long.


I think that chickens are fast and talented and they are cool.

Valerie Adams

I'm loving the Olympic Games so far are you? Well New Zealand is not as bad as I thought they were going to be. They have to be so proud of themselves and the other countries. The Olympics are a hard challenge for all of us to get into and maybe you might see me at the Olympics one day.


The Men's Hockey Game is on tonight and I think that I'm going to watch it hopeful. Valerie Adams came second last night and boy she was amazing. She could've come first but the other Women came first. The activity that I want to do is canoeing. This is a great moment for all of you to think of the sport  that you will want to do.

Enjoy the rest of the Olympics.

Camp Totara Springs

Hi all of you I have made a post about Camp and checkout this.

Boxing Uncle Johnny

Did you know I take Boxing lessons? My teacher is my Uncle and his name is Johnny. You need to have boxing gloves and a punching bag to punch. I learned it step by step and I’m not bad myself.

As you can see I am punching my Uncle in the face or if you would say knock out. You have to have your arms up to block so that you would not get knocked out. You can have a go yourself if you want. good luck to you guys and be safe when you try boxing.

My Own Picasso,

                   This is my Picasso picture of Michael Jackson and here is my picture.

Art Alive Art Gallery,

  Here is a painting that I have enjoyed looking at and I think you should look at it too so here it is.
This is my best painting I have ever seen so far. It is a green shoe and it has lots of detail. And it was drawn by a girl called Seini-Minoneti.

Thor - The Movie

1.  Thor is a super hero and he my favourite super hero because he is strong and has a hammer that he can control. He is a king and has a alien brother that Thor's Mum and Dad adopted. His name is Loki and he is the brother who betrayed his Father, Mother and Thor.

2.  My favourite part of the Thor movie is when a Toyota has a chain that they have tied around the hammer. When he throws it the boot falls off and the driver said, "Is it done?" You should watch it because it will make your kids laugh if they have never watched it before!

Picasso

We have bean learning about Picasso I have copied a fabulous piece of art called The Nusch Éluard. And here it is.

My Progress

Here is my progress for week 6 - term 2.

Art Alive

Steering at the big screen my eyes were very focused and I was amazed at what those artists could do. They were very talented with using spray cans and some other paint. The videos are on the Room 16 Site. I said to myself ,“Man he's good at that”. So I wanted to be an artist and suddenly I am. Are you an artist?

If you are then why don’t you draw it or paint it and then sell it? Good luck with your drawing! I know you guys can do it. It looked so good that I had to put it on my blog. It looked so cool once he had finished it.  Thanks to you all who are reading my blog!
