Swimming

I felt very anxious about swimming. I wanted to be in the medium pool run by Miss Garden, but then she came along and said that I had to go into the large pool for the more confident people. When she said that,I thought she was joking, and laughed. But I soon realised that she wasn’t and I mumbled ‘darn it! I’m in the big pool’.



“Off you go” states Mr Marks, I push off from the wall in the pool and I’m off. I was trying to go as fast I can so no one would catch up to me. When I got to half way I stared to gasp for air, my legs started felling like they were gonna fall off. then boom I felt a big solid wall it was the end of the pool my good friend Gabriel was waiting their.

I did the slow walk to the pool and when I got their I felt the water it was so cold. As the line got shorter, it was nearly my turn hopefully I would be better then last year.

I leaped down into the water it was warm I thought someone had done a pea but no one had. I started looking under water it looked like I was in a very small ocean but as I rose I was mistaken.

Oktopodi Movie Review

The movie that I am reviewing is Oktopodi. This movie Oktopodi is set in a quiet village in Greece. In this story the characters are a Octopus couple and a chef,who is trying to take the Female Octopus to a restaurant. When the chef is driving in his little car, the male Octopus tries to save his girlfriend and he succeed. I think the main message is never give up. I would recommend this movie for all people that like animated movies.

Going To Wellington Part 3

When we got to Te papa museum it was so amazing it had the best exhibits ever, it even had a motion master. I wanted to see the giant Squid but we didn't have enough time to see it. The best thing was the junk shop it was so funny.

Going To Wellington Part 2

When I was on the plane I looked outside of the plane and I saw a beautiful view of the clouds, it was just magnificent. Then the seat belt light came on and the pilot’s instructed that all electronic devices can be turned on.

When the plane landed I had very sore ears then I held my nose together and blew out then my ears popped. Then we got off the plane and headed to the taxi van, we went around Oriental bay and saw the beautiful sparkely water.

Going to Wellington part one

“It’s time to go to Wellington” my dad shouted to me. I replied “ just give me five more minutes in bed”. later on I got my uniform an I rushed into the car. We dropped my little brother off at his day care then I told my dad to drive very fast to school. As he dropped me off at the shops I bolted off to the dairy and quickly bought me a pie and drink.



I ran to the office and I saw the team of ambassadors, luckily they were all putting on their jackets. Mr Burt said us a good prayer and we headed off to his Ford Ranger, the girls went in Mrs Burt’s blue Toyota. When we got to the Airport it smelt like someone did a poo which was disgusting.




On the plane was my most fun bit I had been waiting to go onto my Netbook I wanted to play burger space it’s most exciting game on my Netbook. The two pilots said” it’s time for take off we advise that you put on your seat belt. Then they showed a safety movie which was like a 80’s aerobics movie.

Technology Challenge Part Two

First we are going to get 3 newspapers and roll them up into tubes, we will cut holes in them. We will use cello tape to tape the tubes to the table. We are going to have 3 holes in our tube. We have 10 pieces of newspaper,one meter of cello tape and obviously a marble.


I thought our plan that Kingston and crusader was terrible compared to my plan, where it would start off going to the side then going down and going to the left which would of been good. First we got 3 newspapers and rolled them up. The marble track was nearly finished, but it all fell apart right at the end. I think we should have gone with my idea.

Technology challenge

I didn’t really feel that excited about the challenge but when I saw the fun that people were having and I wanted to join in. As I got thinking I started to think of some ideas then it came to me, why do it going up then curving down when you can do it going straight down and curving at the end.


The challenge was we had to make like a tunnel so that if we put a marble down it it will go down it perfectly but the catch was the tunnel had to bend. Each group got given 6 newspapers, one meter in cello tape and obviously one marble. We were given ten minutes to complete this challenge.


My group’s idea was to make it go straight down and make it bend close to the end we used 2 newspapers to keep our tunnel’s stable. Everything was going good until the end where it wouldn't stand but then it did.

Vote for the best introduction

This is a introduction about the movie Fast five enjoy.

Fast Five is the best movie that I’ve ever seen it’s got fighting bits and racing bits. The most awesome part is when Brian a former federal agent and Dominic Teretto who is a global criminal, use police cars to steal 100 million dollars that is locked away in a vault. But the job is not easy they have to tie a long line to the vault and VROOM VROOM they try to pull it out of the wall with their cars and it breaks free.


Fast Five is a action/drama/comedy movie i thought it was gonna be a dumb movie but it wasn’t I really enjoyed, watching Fast Five and you should watch it for yourself. The best bit is when The Rock’s group of cop’s get ambushed by a local militia but they fight the militia back and nearly all of the rock’s group.

Reading task.

Kiwis are nocturnal which means they sleep in the daytime and awake when it is night time. Kiwis are Birds and have wing's but the wings are very little so they can't fly. They have very very little noses on the end of their beaks.
