The Missing Family By:Theo Part One.

This is a story that I’ve been working on. It’s a bit scary….

 

One night it was an ordinary night until a family decided to walk to  the shops. They didn’t have a car. When they were half way there they ran into an old man telling them to not go any further.

They didn’t listen to the old man so they kept on going then they realized that they have been walking to a old and abandoned house. It was almost night time so they had to sleep in the a banded house when they went inside to sleep they saw someone in the mirror but when they blinked it  was  gone.

 

They were so scared they ran to the door to escape but the door was locked they couldn’t escape. The locals were wondering were that family was polices started searching but there was no sign of the missing family.

 

 

St Patrick’s Day

On the 15th of March it was pouring with rain.We had to play activities but since it was a wet day we decided to move it to Monday which was three days away but we still went to mass.

On Monday when the bell rang we played sports until lunch.The sports that we played was scatter ball net ball sashes spoon race and cricket bowling.when lunch came,we ate some ice blocks.The flavours were pineapple and tropical.The ice blocks that the teachers bought was the Fruju ice blocks.

After we had lunch we watched a movie called Spirited Away.It was a lovely Movie even though it took three days to finish. It was worth it and it was very fun and I would want to do it again.

My Sailing Experience

This is my Sailing Experience last Thursday We went Sailing instead of taking the bus we desided to walk because the lagoon pool was very close once we got there I was very happy because the instructors said that we could jump out the boat after we have some fun  with the boats I was partnered with Cosma my best friend he did the pullies [the pullies makes the flag move side to side but you have to pull the rope].

 

 

once we got the boat in the water we got in to our places then we sailed to the middle of the lake and we were doing fine until the challenges we had to stand up and the boats were very small it can only fit two people then we had to put our hands on each others shoulders then my friend lost balance then he pushed me in the lake and I even brang him in with me.I almost lost my shoe so  one of the instructors decided to get my shoe once we got back on the boat the instructor said we had to jump again to flip the boat! but  it was fine because it was very fun when we got back to shore we started playing some games when we returned I felt like I wanted to sail again never mind that once we went to school we did not care we just ran to the canopy and slept it was very fun and I really want to go sailing again.

 

My ‘Happiness Infection’ movie recommendation

Room 6 @ Glen InnesSchool

I like this movie because it is very funny and makes me laugh every time I watch it and I like when they run because they run like funny people.

When I watched it I thought it was going to be a sad movie because of the start  at the start of the movie there was just people that had  emotional damage but when I watched it half way it was very very funny  I already watched it 6 times  and that’s my favorite movie to watch that’s why I recommend this movie.

The Stone Cottage

Yesterday we had a trip to a very old cottage and when we went through the gate, we met Terry. After she introduced herself she showed us what the main street looked like in old photos. When she finished, we went around the house to look at the pretty and gorgeous flowers outside but when we came back there was a man called Patrick there. Terry said if we wanted to ask questions we could ask him because he knows a lot about Panmure.

 

When we went inside we went to the first room, the meeting room. That place is the place where the owner and his friends met up and talked about things that were important in the old days, while the ladies were doing the chores in the kitchen. While they were talking the ladies made dinner for them and they would talk until dinner was finished.

 

When we were finished with the first room we went to the next room that belonged to Phoebe Dunn. Terry told us that in the 1900’s that the women were very thin but they wore colossal underwear and then she showed us an old knitting machine. After that we went to the kitchen.

 

In the kitchen Terry showed us an old pot and instead of the baby food we have now they would put the food into the machine and then mash it up. But then Patrick came and asked us if we knew a toy called stilts that the kids used to play with back in the day.

 

When we went to the next room Patrick showed us a map he said that Aotearoa actually means north and when we went to the last room there were clothes that got donated  that show what the people used to wear. Instead of a toilet the people would use a potty!!

 

It was a very interesting visit because I have never seen so many old things in one place before.

 

 

 

 

 

Cycling Safely

Yesterday when I came to class I remembered that cycling was starting today. When the instructors came they introduced themselves as Kyla and Kate. They work for Auckland Transport and Bigfoot Adventures, which goes to schools and makes sure children learn how to cycle safely.

First we had a clothes check. We need to wear bright clothes so drivers can see us when we are cycling on the road .

Next we went outside and we wore our gear to get ready to ride the bikes. Before we started riding, Kyla asked us if we were feeling confident or not. The ones who weren’t confident went  with Kate but the confident people stayed with Kyla.

When we went with Kyla she said to remember the tests for checking the bikes: the air, brakes, quick drop, and quick release. Some people remembered it and some people didn’t so they asked the people who remembered. The first thing that we did with our bikes was practicing our hand signals like stop signs and turn signs. After that we all came in and started talking about the rules because we kept on breaking them!.

So when we finished the lesson we played a quick game. It is called ‘buddy up’ but then we had to say good bye. I really had fun today and learned a lot about keeping safe whilst cycling. At the beginning of the day, I felt a bit nervous because I had only ridden on a small bike. I managed to get my balance and ride well on the big school bikes.

 

My Swimming Experience 😁

This year we’ve been having swimming lessons at CLM the bay pool. Rm 6, Rm 7 and Rm 8 students were separated into girl and  boy groups. When I hopped into the pool I met my instructor Izzy. She taught me how to do a hand stand under water and then she taught us how to go on our backs and float. It was so easy but when she said to go on your front I knew I was going to run out of breath and I did. At least people were struggling like I was. When the girls came for their turn I felt sad but then I knew we were coming back the next day.

Izzy showed us a shocking  move under water – she literally did a hand stand while walking underwater. We were shocked but I tried.  Only my friend Pio and I did it for 2 seconds but no one else could do it in our group.

On the third day it turned out to be the greatest day of my life since up till then we weren’t allowed to do manus but that day we were allowed. The teacher covered her eyes because she thought we were going to get hurt but guess what we didn’t. I couldn’t go to the last lesson because I was sick. I learned a lot and can’t wait until next year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Matariki

Last week we were learning about the Matariki stars and we even learned about  Paptuanuku and Ranginui being separated by their son, Tane. Ranginui was separated to the sky and Papatuanuku was separated to the earth. The god of wind was not very happy about that so he raged in anger and pulled his eyes out and crushed them and threw them onto his dad’s chest in the sky. To this day he still blows his anger, as a wind around New Zealand, and we get a lot of that!
