My picture I like!

This is my favorite piece of Art that Anthony drew. I like this piece of art because it has lots of detail that makes it look like art that's why I chose it. One more thing I like about it was some of the colors were my favorite and plus it was so colorful.

My Mums Birthday

On Saturday it was my mom's Birthday she was turning 28. Well when she had woken up we all surprised her with some delicious breakfast. We took her to McDonald's. She wasn't that happy because she wants to see her brother in jail but it was too far to go and see him. It is all the way up North. My mum said never mind I'm grateful for what I have right here. So she just ate hot cakes for her breakfast. When we had finished my mum said she wanted to send something over for my aunt for her birthday too. She was the same age as my mum but my mum said she is the older girl in the whole family except her mom she was 42 years old. Anyways, we sent a present over for my Aunt over in Australia. She is the one who lives the farthest in our family and she is my favorite Aunt ever!

Aussie rules

        !AUSSIE RULES!


On Monday last week room 17 and room 16 had Aussie Rules. We all had to meet up on the netball court after the lunch bell rings. Even the teachers did too because they had to come and play with us as well and everyone had to sit down on the bench or the concrete and listen to the instructors.

They said to hold an ice cream cone and squish it with one hand and hold a ball in the other hand and scoop up the ice cream into the ice cream cone. But the ice cream and the cone were not real they just told everyone so it could help them because it was really your hand going to hit the ball out of the other hand.

When they told everyone on the instructions each person had to find a group of 2’s, 3’s, or 4’s. My partner was Ashlee. She is really fun to be partners with because Ashlee and I were close to the school office. It was my turn to hit the ball to her and I hit it really high and it bounced on the roof and I waited for a while but it ended up stuck on the roof! So Ashlee and I told Anita because she was the one who was instructing everyone and she said it’s all right. So she got one of the boys to climb up on the roof to get the ball but when he had came down it was time to go.

My progress

This is my progress this week so far.

 

SWIMMING

On Monday Room 16 went to the Glen Innes pools to learn how to swim. On the first day we all went swimming you had to bring your tog’s and a towel to go swimming.

After lunch we had to grab our bags and sit on the mat until Mr Somerville told everyone to go and line up outside. After he had locked the door everyone began to walk and as we got halfway to the pools this piece of rubbish came by my leg as I was walking I began to kick it all the way to the pools.

When we got to the pools we walked inside and then everyone started to run to the changing rooms to get dressed. When I went into the changing rooms mostly everyone was dressed but me because I had lots of things to take off and then to put on my togs. Well when I had came out you had to sit on the bench and wait for the other kids to come out of the pool.

When everyone came out you had to get in pairs of twos and sit by each other. When you have done that you had to get into the pool and the instructors teaching you would see if you are a good or bad swimmer.

If you get the number 1 that means you need help, the number 2 means you're getting there and 3 means you're a good swimmer. I hope I get to learn how to swim as good as the teacher who is teaching me!

Ben Carson

On Tuesday the year 5, 6, 7, and 8 went to the Telstra Clear Events Center to see Ben Carson. We took a bus there it was cool because room 16 went on a bus but others and I went on a different bus because we couldn't fit on the bus with room’s 16 and room 21. We went with the intermediate people. But I wished that I went with my own class because the seniors made lots of noise in side the bus and was talking and screaming to much.

When we got there we waited out side the Event Center for a little wile and then a man came out side and took us in to the Events Center. It was cool because lots of people in Pointengland school including me got to see our old schools. I saw my old school it name was Otahuhu primary school when you go there you get to wear non uniform that was my favorite school ever.

When we got in the Events Center I went way up top and sat down but there are these sets and they are so cool because when you walk up to the set you have to pull the set down to sit. Anyway when Ben Carson came up to the stage he introduced him self. Then he told us all about his child hood when he was young. After he told everyone about his mother when she was looking after Ben when he was so young and when he was a little kid.

When he had finished talking about him and his mother he told us all about !reading! he said Reading is good to read and if you read a lot you will be brainy and you will be as good when you grow up. When Ben Carson had finished we walked out of the Events Center and these people gave everyone an up & go drink and a fresh clean, yummy, Josey apple. We had to eat it when we got back to school but no one did eat it when we got back to school they eat it when they walked out of the Events Center. I had a very grate time at the Event Center it was so good to make new friends right away.
