Christmas at my house

These holidays have, so far have been boring. I'v done nothing but play games with my cousin, eat, and sleep. Until this special thing called " Christmas", came up. I was so excited that I literally jumped up and down.

The day had arrived I was even more excited. I quickly jumped out of bed too open my present's. I ripped the wrapping paper open like I was a monster tearing a city apart. "Whoo!!" I shouted, "beyblades".

The day ended with excitement in the air. Me and my whole family enjoyed the day like no other.

One Tree Hill

“Come on”, I shouted to my friend, as he slowly slid down into the crater. “ Everybody go to Mr Marks” Miss King said. Everyone started to race to Mr Marks. Climbing out of the crater, I kept on slipping. “ Another hill? “ Yes”, I said. Almost all of the girls screamed.

Ice cream comets

As our teacher explained what we were doing this afternoon, she told us we were going to make ice cream comets. The ingredients that we used were, chocolate ice cream, ice cream cones, and hundreds and thousands or crushed cookies. I wondered if it would look realistic.

Finally the time passed, and our teacher told us the instructions. First we had to sprinkle hundreds and thousands on our hands and then our teacher was going to put a chunk of chocolate ice cream over the hundreds and thousands, then Whaea Janeille put the cone on top of the ice cream on our hands.

It was time to eat the delicious treat, we did it group by group, my group was first. As the sprinkles went over my hand it left a crumbling mess on the ground. It was freezing on my hands, it was like my hands were frozen. But it turned out delicious.

I want to make it again some day. It was really nice.

Immersion Assembly

From Immersion Assembly Term 4 2011

Outta This world, it’s this terms topic. At Immersion assembly Mr Burt introduced the topic, with a story. It showed us about how the constellations in the sky made a hook, Maui’s hook. If you’re in Hawaii, the hook in the sky would show the way to New Zealand.

Lots of the teachers dressed in customs. Some of them had dressed as, Ballerinas, some had Alien masks, The Sun, and Space Helmets. My favorite costume was Mr Barks Alien mask, it made him look like a real Alien.
My favorite team item was team five. In their video, their faces were on some of the people on Star Wars faces. It looked really funny because Mr Harris played a girl in the video. Everybody laughed.

It was a funny immersion assembly. I wonder if they will do something similar next year.

Alfajorcitos

Que bueno son los alfajorcitos. Muy delicioso. Room 13 made these special treats, to learn more about Argentina, they are tasty. When I tasted it, I almost dribbled.

Alfajorcitos are made out of, biscuits, coconuts, and dulce de leche. To make Dulce de leche you have to get condensed milk, leave it in the can with the lid on and put it in boiling water for 3 hours, when its done you have to cool it down for another 3 hours when its cooled down, you put it on the biscuits and roll it in shredded coconuts..

The Alfajorcitos tasted delicious, it was so nice that I wanted two of them, but sadly we all only got one. The biscuit crunchy, and the dulce de leche made it smooth and sticky, the coconut made it even better, but I didn't get lots of it on the sides when we rolled them. I want to make them again some day.

They are one of the best snacks I've ever tasted before. It was like eating a bunch of lollies.

Aussie Rules

Every Thursday, we learn some skills that you could use in Aussie Rules. We are taught by two professional AFL players, their names are Megan, and Allysa. Waiting to start, they told us the instructions.

Last weeks warm up game we played was called bumper jumper. In bumper jumper you have to jump on one leg, and hit your partner with your arms on your side, if their other leg goes on the ground they have to swap to their other leg, and their partner gets a point.

After that warm up game, we had another warm up game, we had to stay with the same partner and take turns. We had to run with the ball and bounce it at the same time. The first time we did it we walked. The second time we went, we had to bend down on one knee and bounce the ball. But the third time we ran, it was kind of easy.

Finally we played a game, it was called Kick ball, it is like baseball except we used an AFL ball. Before we got to play, one person from each team had to play rock, paper, scissors, to see which team ether kicked or fielded. My team fielded fist. When the other team kicked the ball, we had to catch it, and hand pass it back to Megan, then your team will get the point. Then it was our turn to kick. I scored 3 points, but the other team won in the end.

I can't wait till this Thursday, the thing I like about Aussie Rules is playing the games. I hope this weeks game and warm ups are cool too.

Our inventions

What was the problem and how did you fix it? There was a problem at our school which were the fields, it was always muddy and we had to fix it. So we are trying to build a foot washing machine so that when we're muddy we can wash our feet. We chose this project because we are trying to make a difference about our dirty legs. We’re trying to make our fields better by putting a sign saying the fields are closed.
We
are inventing a foot washing machine because we have muddy fields and
every one has dirty feet. We’re just making a diorama to show the things
where we want to put it. When we do finish we just have to give it to
the asocial principle and he will pay the money to get all the stuff
that we need.

Talk About It

Our bombed tables

We have three tables that used to look ordinary until, Larsen Tito-Taylor, and some of his friends put some Graffiti on them. But first we had to decide which words, and colours he was going to put on them. So we decided what he was going to put on them by using a class survey, on a google form, using our net books. So the words that we used were, Learn, Create , and Share on the tables. And to use the colours Purple, and yellow. We finally got our bombed tables back, and the tables look really cool. He is also know as dj Ghosrok. If you want to buy some of his Dj songs go to: http://soundcloud.com/ghosaudio

The chihuahua and the toddler

Frighteningly trembling the chihuahua said The I'm scared of the ghost."
The adorable toddler scribbled on the wall while saying " Go ga ga ga."

My fear

Stuck on the wall like glue, I fearfully climbed up the rocks. I was breathless on the way up, as I was high from the ground. Gasping for air, I was just about to let go, when I suddenly realised, I was almost at the top. My foot slipped and I fell.”Ahhhh” I shouted as I dropped to the ground.

Adding detail to sentences

A baby invented the space ship in his sleep
Albert Einstein invented a space ship well eating
Batman and superman invented the space ship while fighting the green goblin


Today we had to make 3 sentences using the words invented the space ship, we had to add detail to those words and we did, it was fun but took long.

Swimming

As we slipped into the pool We splashed and kicked to the other side and back, when we came back we choked on a lung full of water and our eyes were stinging red. When we got back we coughed and spluttered.

As we slipped into the pool We splashed and kicked to the other side and back, when we came back we choked on a lung full of water and our eyes were stinging red. We blinked away the burn. awaythe burn.

Rube Goldberg

Last Friday we made marble tracks. Our class got the idea from, a pro at making marble runs, and his name is, Rube Goldberg. The people in my group was, Me, Rocky, Jabez, Ulil, and Vaifoa. My groups plan was for the marble to roll down the cardboard, and roll into a hole in the cardboard, and roll down another hill made of cardboard, and hit the domino's.When we were finally done, we told the teacher that it was done. But, it didn't work, so we made some modifications and it didn’t work again, so we made more modifications. We made many attempts, and our group never. but we ran out of time and didn't finish.

Straw bridges

Today we created straw bridges. Without triangles, a design will be much weaker, but if you remember to add triangles, your design will be much more stronger. Our group did not work together but it turn out good in the end.We solved lots of problems, And then it was time for the test, We had to put a 1000 block on top of it, Well it was only for a a couple of minutes, but it was all right. But this time we lost.

North shore tornado

Yesterday afternoon, at 3:00pm o clock. The tornado hit Albany in Auckland’s north shore. The tornado struck just as the bells rang after school, but none of the kids got hurt. The tornado made cars fly around and made a car fly into a parking spot.


The tornado was devastating, and trashed the north shore. Everybody was in panic, and chaos struck the city. The people had adrenalin pumping, they were running as fast as they could so they didn't get sucked into the twisting tornado.It caused a lot of damage, at the same time it was pouring with rain.

Straw towers

Today we had a challenge, it was making straw towers, the group with the the tallest tower won the challenge. our teacher got the idea from a video that came from a school in America, the only materials we were aloud to use was, 75 straws, and a roll of tape. Room 13 also did it to introduce us to our new topic for the term”Bigger better faster stronger”.

We split up into groups, and started making our straw towers. Me and my Friends grouped up to make a straw tower, we had lots of ideas, and we kept on moving from the table to the ground, but stayed on the table. Our plan was to start off with a foundation to keep it stable.

But we had a problem, we were running out of time and we were not finished.But in the end me and my groups tower was the tallest out of them all, and we came 1st place, so we took a photo of us with our creation.
