Farewell 2013

I am a year 7 student at Pt England school Auckland, New Zealand 2013 I am in the last week of school my teacher is Ms Tito, my class is room 19, my name is Sonny.

I fell sad that the year 8s are leaving in 3 days because they were fun to play hand ball with and they like to challenge the year 7s that was fun but hard I will remember what they showed us.

I am happy that I am going to be one of the new year 8s I am so so happy that in two years I will be in year nine that will be cool and then my brother Joseph will be a year 8.

My year at Pt England school 2013 My Favorited teacher is Ms Tito because she lets it go with the flow and that is cool.This has been the best year at Pt England school there has been ups and downs in this year.

Action world

The amazing day @ action world !!!

We are on the bus on the way to year 7s day out , on the way to the amazing action world we had to have a buddy on the bus my buddy was Paris .

Me and paris was so so excited to go there , when we parked the first obstacle I saw was the rock climbing wall .

As we entered the action world 2 obstacle was getting pumped up one of them was called the joust.that is when you push the other person off that you are fighting. The instructor will tell you when you go then you run the obstacle and try to push them off.

My favorite obstacle was the tight rope because it was the most adrenaline pumping and one of the scariest to do. The tight rope was fun and the craze ladder was the hardest in the hole thing know one made it to the top and hit the bell.

The rules were that at all time try to land on your back, but ,do not land on your feet because you might hear yourself ,like you might break your leg.And the last 2 rules are to not have shoes on the obstacles at all times.

It is safe when you land on your back but it is hard to get out of the landing mat because you sink into the landing mat, and it holds you in there.then at about 1:00PM we all the year 7s went back on the bus to go to school and have lunch.

Baking

Baking  is what we did today we made chocolate fudges with marshmallow in the mix the ingredients is truffles becuts crash them in a clear bag, 1teaspoon of coco powder, conduits milk, chocolate buttons cut up in to smile peaces,and marshmallows cut up in to 1/4s. Then you mix it altogether.And it is a taste treat for every one in the house and birthdays all the kids will like them. This is what they will look like  

My three favourite hight lights of the year.

New islands off Japan

A new island has roused off the cost of Japan following a massive earth quack that hit the big country The island is very small about 200 metres wide and it might not last that long because it's made out of volcanic rock that erodes quite easily.

It was created by a volcanic eruption under the sea bed which forced lava and rock to burst through the     surface of the water.

The molten rock has then cooled and hardened on the water,turning it into a mini island.The new island was spotted due to the massive cloud of smoke blowing out in to the air.

new pod cars

On kiwi kids news I read about these  new  pod cars the vehicles can drive by themselves and there are electric powered they can go 16 km h there are in the UK they think that they are coming out in about 2015 to 2017 that is a long time from now so we will have to wait abit in New Zealand. So we will have to wait 2 or 4 years this will be the new way to get around the country. And if you are going for long rides in the new pod cars you can go to sleep instead of staying up to drive.  

And all so the government  is  funding  some money to help  the people to make  it  happen so that all of us will be riding around in 2017 or 2015 by then even one will have all smart phones

even old nans I can not wait to the pod cars come out in the world.

comments

it will be better if there was no driver because if you are drank you can you can prevent car crashes and more road safe.

and it can stop medicated people from crashing.

My motorbike

In the weekends at my house on a wet but sunny day I went on my  motorbike it is a 90cc motorbike  also called a pit bike. I ride around in circle until my dad gets on the big motorbike named KX80. It is a power band it is what the crusty daemons ride on if you know how they are.


If you don't know how they are they preferential motorbikes they do the best stance like black flips on motorbikes.they are the best in the world they have been on t.v like so so so much in this world. Up noth there were heaps of people that have motor bikes.


do you have a motorbike if you do make sure you were you have a helmet when you ride because you mite be like me but I had a helmet but I was going to fast and when I went to turn the corner I slipped and cut my leg open and my shoulder and my arm.

If you want your motorbike to last long you have to check the oil.Or if it is a two stroke you mix the oil with the gas if you do not do this it will wreck the hole motorbike altogether. If it is a 4 stroke you just put the gas in tank and the oil in the oil tank .

Then I went home and had a shouer the had a hot cocoa then watch T.V then I when to bed.

the three little wolves

Three little wolves.

Once upon a time there were three little wolves the time came for them to leave home and seek their fortunes. Before they left, their mother told them”Whatever you do, do it the best that you can because that is the way to get along in the world.

The first little wolf was lazy. He did not listen to his mother's advice but build a house out of straw because it was the easiest thing to do.

Then the big bad pig came along he said “little wolf  little wolf little wolf let me in” then the little wolf said “no not by the hair of my chiny chin chin”. The big bad pig replied “you better or I will huff and puff and blow your house down”. The little wolf said “no I won't let you in”.

“Then I will blow your house down with a huff and a puff” the pig yelled at the wolf. In a second the house was gone like it never was there.

Then the second little wolf did not do what his mother said none of them did what she said. So he started to build his house out of sticks that was a bit stronger than the straw and it lasts longer than the straw.

So he finished it,then the pig came to the house of sticks then he said “little wolf little wolf little wolf let in”. The wolf then replied “not by the hair of my chinny chin chin”. Then the big bad pig yelled “I will huff and puff and blow your house down”.  “You can try” the little wolf said. So the big bad pig  huffed and he puffed and huffed and puffed then the big bad pig blew the house down .

The third wolf started to build his house out of bricks. It was night when the little wolf finished his house then the big bad pig came to the little wolf's  house. The big bad pig said “little wolf  little wolf  let me in”. Then the little wolf  said “no!!, not by the hair of my chinny chin chin”. Then the big bad pig said then “I will huff and I will puff and I will blow your house down.” The little wolf then yelled “no you can not, my house is too strong it is made out of bricks”. So he left and came back at night and tried to get in the chimney  but the big bad pig landed in a big pot of hot water and got cooked in the pot for dinner.

My literacy

Every day for two hours we go to different classrooms for literacy. This is what I did well - art. It is just my favorite thing at school and we had to draw Maori designs on a bit of paper to start until Ms Tito said it was good enough to do a better copy.

One of the things Ms Tito told all of us is that the maori kowhaiwhai designs came from a ponga tree. On a ponga tree all the branches connect and that is how they got the design.

Now my new group is writing and I am writing about this mean-as animation that we watched on the laptop. We had to write about his feelings and what he was thinking by looking at his expressions.       

I am in Miss Nua class now and we are doing reading I was reading about Matariki the Maori new year. I found heaps of information on Matariki this is one thing I did not know about it was the stars are the god” s eyes.

And this is the website that I got it from is here it has all everything on it that I submit to Miss Nua. We had to answer questions about Matairki and we had to sarah thin up to see if it was right.
