Fire works
Splitting and sparkling in the air with the sound of cannon balls fireing in the air were fire works (GuyForks). I was very excited, that as soon as my mum came to drop my fire works off I ran in to the car waiting for the car to stop.
The big boom box yeay I jumped up in to the air waiting to see the next box..... And then out came the roman candle box. I was very excited but I still couldent light mine up because it was mid day.
As a switch of the light dark came and the moon shon upon us. People made bombs out of organic gun powder. The bombs were very loud and as you watch them ready to pop you can see the fire slowly moving up causing a big "BANG" frightening all the birds. I had my fire works separated in my bag and let off all of them one by one. I had a very special roman candle I left the rest in the car, my brother just came as I was gonna light mine off then my mum told me to give him one and the only one left was the warrior the best roman candle, as he held it he got a shock when it pulled his hand back then he had to hold it two with two hands.
It was all over and we had to go home we all had the best night ever all the fire works were out and it was the time when all was tired.

Visiting saturn
Welcome to Saturn This is where I live. My home is made out of bits of beutyful rocks and broked parts off the famous rings that have just been discovered I've lived here for over one month. As I search for life around some of these planets.I eat and drink off the supplies I have left in my rocket, over my calculations I would be able to stay on this planet for over 2 months.
I have brang some normal activities like skate boards and scooters. My fun and daily activitie is taking a ride on the rings with my scooter.When I fall off I feel like im on earth and I scream so load that I realise im floating around in mid air. I still have a few quistions like how big is space?, does space ever end?
Yesterday I meet an alien and he was purple. He could talk English I thought I was going crazy till I met him again skating on the rings. This time really thought I was out of my mind then he took me in a portal he said it leads to the centre of Saturn witch is where all Saturn alien lives, and other aliens live in the center of their own planet. Learning heaps about Saturn was really cool.
Time to go home. Bye Saturn.

My camping holiday
For the first week of my holiday I went to riverside camp. Riverside is a group that plays heaps games with our principle Mr Burt And our coach Miss Va'afusuanga. They have been doing that since Mr Burt was still a teacher. Back to camp, my mum and I had packed all I needed after that my back was still not full so I put in extras. We left at quarter to eight and saw every one with their bags. Mr Burt had a talk to us about the camp and what we had to do. Then we finally left.
Cruising on the bus was kinda the trip I wasn't looking forward to. We past a beach and beautiful sights on the way to our camp. WE suddenly drove threw a drive way with lots of speed bumps then we saw a big white building and a very big field, with golf and volley ball, tennis and basketball. They kids in the bus were very excited including me.
Sitting on the carpet nervous when Mr Burt told us all to go and find our cabins. Turuhira and I had the best beds in our cabin, Why? because we had single beds and the rest had bunks. We went to the beach and had a food fight plus we had a water activity those are all the game's that we had done there may be a few extra but I had to have a highlight.
My highlight was the quad bikes because I rode them every time they had pulled them out. My first turn was dreadful. They had a out line circled with cones I had crashed in the middle then I went for lap two and the bike broke down. That was my story I hope you enjoyed.

Outta this world
My favorite was team 5 they had done a star wars show and every one was laughing at Mr Harris, because he had been acting as the princess in the movie that they had made. The movie had been edited very well. Mr Harris was the star in the movie he had been a very good princess. It was funny how he had a mask on to cover his face. My friend Dante's favorite was team 4 and 5. It was time to go to class and it was just a normal day.
This is what I have learnt so far. Did you know that the sun isn't the largest object actually there is a star that is ten times bigger. The moons are also called satellites?. sun, mercury, Venus, earth, the moon, mars, cease, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Those are all the planets that are near the sun. We have inner planets and outer planets. Inner stands for planets that are closest to the sun and outer means that the planets are far away.

Learning how to play aussie rules.
We have learnt Nealy all the rules how to play and what not to do. Further than the rules we have learnt how to kick with an Aussie ball and hand pass. Here's one I remember - laces away from faces.
Kicking the ball was very hard in the beginning but keep practicing add you'll get it right. That was not the only thing we learnt we also learnt how to hand pass correctly. In the middle of practicing we had little games my favorite was bass ball with a rugby ball its kind of complicating to learn on the spot. That's all I wrote about so please leave a comment on my blog and leave your URL/Name so I can visit your blog.
Sneeze
A sneeze center is a part of the brain that not many people have heard of. If the inside of your nose gets a tickle, then the sneeze center alerts all the other muscles that work together to sneeze. Sneezing is a reflex. A reflex is where your body does something automatically and is something that you have no control over.
Sneezing is a way to get rid of bad things in your nose. These things might be bacteria, germs and other things. You also sneeze when you smell pepper that reason is because your body does not like the smell of pepper. when you see a bright light like the sun or a light bulb you feel like you are gonna sneeze. Actually 1 out of 3 people sneeze when they see a bright light. Those people are called "Photic Sneezers." Photic really is another word for light. Photic sneezing is something that you get from one of your parents because it is something that runs in one side of your family.
Can you open your eyes when you sneeze?
Some people can sneeze with their eyes open and some people can’t. Sneezing is a reflex and so closing eyes. We have no control on whether we close our eyes or not when they sneeze. Some people don’t have reflex, so when they sneeze then their eyes won’t close.
Sneezing is very good for you and your body because it removes things from your body like bacteria and germs. It also is good because it keeps the nostrils that carry the air from your nose to the lungs healthy. Sneezing makes your nose clear when you have a cold. If you used to hate sneezing, then I hope this has changed your mind.

RWC Opening Ceremony
In the Opening ceremony the Maori introduction was really cool. They had amazing projection and heaps of lights and musical instruments. It was really creative how they made the two hammer sharks with all the people as one. As seen on the rugby world cup banner there are to maori shapes but secretly they are hammer sharks.
"GO ALL BLACKS" and good luck to all other teams around the world.

We were on TV 1 News!
Last night my class and another class at Pt England were on TV 1 news. Our principal Mr Burt had chosen only two classes and we were one of the lucky classes. We were so excited, but we had to act like they weren't even there. We learnt that we were meant to be a poor school but ended up being a very rich school because we have netbooks to use for our learning. It is sad that some schools that are poor don't have a lot of money. I'd like to thank our principal for choosing our class to go on the news and for helping us by traveling to other countries to get us new equipment to use in our class!

Harold
Just the other day, on Monday the 8th of August, we went to visit the life education caravan parked in front of the kindergarten at our school. I was very excited because I have never been there before. As soon as we got there the Harold teacher, named Lynn, politely asked us, “Can you all take your shoes off?” So, after we had taken our shoes off Lynn asked us to get in order from the Tallest to shortest. I was the 2nd tallest.
At last we were siting comfortable waiting to see Harold and Lynn. Harold and room 16 had a few laughs but then we went straight back into work. Harold had 4 home work sheets that were very hard for him to do. So we helped him with it. Finally it was time to do the sheets. My favorite part was learning about the lungs. What they do to help our body stay healthy is amazing.
We were near the end but before we left we had to make up a dance about a card we had been given. Our group got the card on the lungs and so we came up with a dance to perform to the class.

My Holiday
“Gosh its very cold” I mumbled to myself. I asked my mum, “Can we go to the movies with Tatiana?” She said with a polite voice, “Of course”. On our way to the movies we were thinking what we should watch. My cousin suggested, “What about Kungfu Panda 2”. We walked into the movies and saw a very short line. We quickly ran up to go next and by the time we got there the lady asked what movie did we want to watch. “Kungfu panda 2 please,” I replied. I asked my mum what lollies are we allowed to get. I suggested that we got to Pak 'n Save and get lots of chocolates!
After we got our munchies for the movie my mum and cousin were waiting in the line to get into the cinema. Well I was on the chairs waiting and I nearly got left behind because I was mucking around. I found it really hard to find out where our seats were. After a while of hunted we finally found them and our numbers were C23, C22 and C21. As we sat down the movie commercials came on, perfect timing. After all of that the movie finally came on and every one had already sat down to watch the movie. It was kind of boring in the start but during the end I kind of had fun, and plus all of that chocolate was filling me up!

MOTAT
My second was the tactile doom. When we first when into the Dome I couldn't find where I was going! So I screamed and screeched while I tried to go onto the nearest thing I could find trying to find an exit. At last Te Rina yelled, “Here Andrea come down the slide.” Then I saw a very bright light heading towards Te Rina and I crawled as fast as I could. “I'm out!” I gasped.
Unfortunately the day was over like a switch of a light and those were my highlights at MOTAT. The best thing is we learnt that they use water to create steam.

Partly cloudy
The main characters in the movie are stalk the bird and cloudy the Grey cloud.
The movie took place up high in the clouds.
It starts with a dozen stalks flying around and delivering babies, dogs and cats.
When the stalk came to get his delivery Cloudy had a shark then the. talk flew up to the other clouds. But cloudy got angry and sad.
Cloudy relises that stalk was only getting armer to protect him self.
My rating is 10/10 because the movie has a very happy ending. The beginning is very cool how they deliver all sorts of cut animals and real

Tallest tower
We had to try our hardest to build it out of very thin paper. We had to use 1metre sellotape and one glue stick with a pair of scissors. We had to think very carefully cause if we messed it up we couldn’t start again. Lots of the boys defrauded by using scrap paper but that was only our first challenge.
On our last time doing it I was on my own because I thought me by myself I could do better. I thought from the tips we had got and why our last tower fell down. I remembered why ours couldn't stand, Because we had to many crinkles. So then I rolled my paper up very carefully I used sellotape and a bit of glue. I did five rolls going up but it didn't balance so then I put some legs on the sides but it still didn't stand, so then I put on two other legs on. It balanced for over a minute. when it was time to take it in to test it I was very proud because I've been with many groups, and i found it I'm better working by myself. At the end I was the winner.

My Holiday
My first highlight was going to the easter show. The ride that I really liked was the bumper carts. Me and my cousin Brodie had 40 tickets each and we use most of the tickets up on the bumper carts. W e went on a few other rids they were very freaky. We got free drinks and we could play a reclying game when we were done, if you chose a bottle and in the lid had a w you would win a bag or some thing different. There was a ride called the scream i was tall enough but my cousin wasn't, there was another ride but u had to walk through, was called the haunted house Brodie didn't want to so we walked in a different ride, it was magician ride. It was very hard to get through the first obstacle the whole thing would turn well you walk through to the other side. Then we had to leave.
My second highlight was going to the movies twice. My favorite movie out of Rango and Rio was Rio. He had a very nice care giver that found him when he fell out of truck. Rio is about a bird who couldn't fly but then finally believes that he can so he did. Not only that but he was the only male of his kind so a scientist found another bird but female of his kind so he tried to bring them together, to save they could save their kind.

Dinosaur
This dinosaur came in a rainbow of colours sometimes green, sometimes red, sometimes with brightly coloured stripes even poker dots. His family had very dark colours the darkest colors that a dinosaur had ever had. Asias family can change colour too, but their colours are very dark.
Asias likes to eat veges, he's a vegetarian. His family was known as the best meat eaters. veges were his one and only freedom from his family so he stuck to eating veges. When his family goes out Asias decides to write in his dinosaur diary and starts to think. I wanna be the best meat eater. I wanna grow very tall I wanna be just like my family. So he tried to eat meat down by the drink plaza. There he found meat. He tried but he ended up changing light blue and spitting it out.
Asias was the type to do dancing with his Friends and art. The type of dancing this Dino likes to do is Jerk. Him and his Friends liked to go to the park after school and dance, they were known as the best dancers around. But Asias family wasn't. So all of his Friends got the credit for dancing but he didn't because his family is known as the beast so they recommend I'm the next beast in our family. When he goes home in my room he paints and paints till he gets bored and goes back to dancing.
So Asias realized being different wasn't so bad after all his family would need for things like fitting through a small hole to get something so the family under standard what asias was trying to say so they all lived happily in dinoactive world.

The Soapbox Finals in Whangaparaoa.
So then we said lets go make a new chant, but then we ended up making a whole new dance. The lightest of all the cheerleaders was Eleva. So we got 2 girls to pick her up and throw her up in the air and had 3 girls to catch her when she falls back. Me and another cheer leader would stand in the front then do cart wheels in front. We got to go and have a look around with Mary’s mum but that was about it. We brought some snow cones and I brought a cold coke and have a turn on the bouncy castle. You had to pay 10 dollars down to 5 dollars.
It was time to go, we all had a great time on our way back most of the cheer team had fallen asleep. But the kids who were sitting with me were not asleep we were wide awake but then we started falling asleep by the end of the trip.

EMBARRASSING MOMENTS
On my 1st birthday my sisters and brothers were at my birthday and my aunts and uncles were there. It was so embarrassing for me because as soon as I blew out my candle my sister and my brother took out my candles and then pushed my head in the cake. But the embarrassing thing was that the lights were still off. When the lights turned on my aunt and my uncle were taking a video so every time we have a family day they will always play it but my parents still don't believe that my brother and sister did it.

Camp
My first highlight for camp was kayaking. We were kayaking down by Pt England reserve plus it was our last day for camp. As soon as we into jump in our kayak there we went off into the water. I was paddling so fast I was getting tied. On the first round I went around the red and green post 6 times.When it was time to go back in I raced my way in but I came third. The other kids had found a shrimp they passed it around then I got it and took it with me on the kayak. Other kids had got a turn on the boat and some didn't. We had so much fun on my second and third turn on the kayak I had a double kayak I was with Mia in room 15 and on my third I had Katerina.
My favorite thing about the whole camp was the concert we were the last group to perform. I was so nervous I couldn't even speak. The light had shined on our group we all started our song. When it was my turn to go in the front I stood up and then played my role. Wen it was time to get the results of the winner we all crossed our fingers. They announced the people who standed out in the groups and then they announced th winners 3rd place was responsible and 2nd place was true we all lost hope we thought we had lost then first place was..... ALL STARS we were all so happy just burst with joy. But it was now time to go.

Super hero
If I was a super hero this is how it would start......
One day I woke up and was wanting to grab my shoes but they were under the bed so I went to pick up my bed and all of a sudden it was in the air with only my index finger holding it up. My brother yield out to me and said hurry up we have to go to school then i ran as fast as I could in only one second i was out side ready to go school. I was like wow I went faster than a Cheddar. I said to my brother do you want are race he said yes and then I ran and only one second I was by the school gate my brother was still running then I said bye then he went to his school.
The bell rang and I raced for the class door and was there before Mr Somerville could even unlock the door and open it. I realized some thing is in me since this morning. So then it was time to walked home with my cousin to his house we ended up playing cricket we were fielding my cousin hit the ball and it went to jump I went high and it was like I was flying grabbed the ball and threw it at the wicket but I realized I was still in the air. My name would be bold blade I'm super fast and can fly most of all I am super strong I can lift anything i don't have muscles but I'm still strong its like I'm holding an apple seed.
I figured if I use my powers for good not evil i could fight crimes and help cops defeat the bad Id combine all of my powers to help. Id fly super fast and hold very heavy things on a trip any where. Id make sure to hide me in a fantastic disease. When I find out who is my Villain ill defeat her and make sure she never touches our planet.
