Good Fiends

                                                                   

                                          Good Friends

How many friends do you have? Well I have more then one obviously, How about you? Friends to me is people that can help you if you're struggling at anything. They will always be there next to you, Helpful and respectful. I have about 14 friends that I can look up to at my school but many more away from school to.  

How many friends have you made a week? To be honest I make about two to three friends a week. Its pretty cool making new friends because you can learn more things about them and maybe do what they do for a living. Usually when I make friends I tell them what my hobbies are and what i’m good at.

Have you ever got in trouble and your friends sticks up for you? Isn't that what friends are supposed to do. If you stick up for your friends maybe they'll do or give something good to you. What I do with my friends are play some sports, sing some songs with the guitar maybe even go to the pools when school has finished.

If you help your friends maybe you can get something out of it. If you don’t , The one thing that you can get is feeling happy about yourself for helping them. You might not know, Maybe they will give you something in return, Then you’ll feel really happy.  

Tukutuku Patterns

Hey guys This is just some other maths task that I got given from my teacher. These questions are based on crosses. I've already solved the question. You see, in one group there are three crosses and in the other group there are six crosses and if you keep on counting you can see that this question is about counting on in threes

Sticking Around

This is some of my maths problems that I was given, it was called "Sticking Around" as you can see the first question is a fence that is made out of sticks. If you are very good at algebra then you can figure out the rest of the questions. But we are just working on the very first question.

Term 2 Assembly

Isn't it awesome starting at school again for term two? "too me it is". I like coming back to school because I get to meet my friends again. On the 5 of May our school had a Assembly it was really cool because every assembly on the first day of every new start of a term they always have short performances from every team from team one to five.

The first one was team one, team one was all about the Zoo. The teachers made a video for the hole school too watch. They had a great video because it shows how they would keep the animals safe and us safe too. They are taking all of the team one students to the Zoo  "I wish I could go.

Team Two was all about Flying machines and how they work. they also made a little video too. On the video there were Hot air balloons everywhere after the video one of the teachers were dressed as a helicopter and another teacher was dressed as a plan and the last person was dressed as an pilot they all looked funny nearly everyone was laughing. The last character was a fairy who didn't know how the machines work so when she pointed her magic wand and dusted every teacher on the stage with magic dust and they turned on witch was very funny.

Team Threes performance was all about colour. I like there one the most because they told us how a rainbow is created plus I like colours too.Well when it rains a shine of like shines through one single rain drop then travels through many other rain drops that also creates different multiple colours and creates one gigantic rain bow that starts who knows were.

Team Fours one wasn't much of a performance it was mostly a documentary about Displacement and Buoyancy. Displacement for example is like a boats going into water and when the boats sets in, the water expands and the water rises up closer to the deck of the boat. Buoyancy for example is a little bit like Displacement but it's all about floating I still like it though plus it's good to learn new things once in a while.

Team fives performance was all about Sound It was really cool because all the teachers created different kinds of  home made instruments they all looked really weird but at least there instruments made a sound. Some instruments made oddly weird noises but I still like them.

Echolocation

Echolocation:
Did you know that Bats uses echolocation. If you don’t know what it is well echolocation is locating with sound. You’ll have be very clever too know how to use this kind of technique.

Bats:

Bats use echolocation to use echolocation you have to locate anything in front of them and anything on the side of them too. Bats create noises with their noses and the noise creates sound waves that hits an object and rebounds to them and they know how far away the object is and how close the object is also what kind of size it too.


Ben:




There are very few people that use echolocation. But there is a teenager called Ben Underwood who had lost his eyes by cancer when he was three years old. So as years past through, one day him and his mother were riding in there car and past big buildings Ben says to his mum “ Mum can you see that big building out there” his mum was shocked when she heard him say that and his mum replied “I can but can you” that's when he could use echolocation.


When I finished watching the video about a Ben I thought to myself “if I close my eyes and make random noises will it rebound off the wall ?” Ben is just a normal teenager but he just doesn't have eyes to see. I never knew echolocation could help people that a blind could get them around place’s.

Future Aspiration

Sitting down in class thinking to myself “UHMM” wonder what I’m going to be in the future. Am I going to be a Dancer a Singer wait a Architect. I would like to be an Architect because I'm a pretty good artist. My favourite subject is art.

My favourite speaker is a very very smart and intelligent person, he is the age of 12. I felt shocked when he told all of us that he’s going to University next year

When where in the hall we got to eat first then after the other group comes and eat after as. When they finished eating we get into a group and introduce our self to the hutt valley group.

Next after introducing our self all the kids were allowed to play on the playground out side they had two play grounds so I went on the biggest park there and played tag with the other group. After playing tag we played ball rush tag on there court it was really fun playing with the other group because we got to know them better and become friends.

Next we left to go to GI to the Matariki celebration because we were dancing there so we had to get changed into our clothes to dance in. We didn't know that the hutt valley group were coming to watch as. when we were ready we waited for the drummers to give the signal for as to walk up and dance.

After waiting we herd the drums playing so we quickly got into lines and walked on the grass and started dancing. First it was all the boy and girls but for the next dance it was just the girls. Next when we finished dancing it was just the girls next after the girls finished dancing we did the last dance witch was all of as together. so we stalled in our lines and started dance.

When we finished every body that was at the Matariki counted down for the fireworks to explode in mid air. So every body started counting down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 "BLASTOFF"!!! as we all screamed through the air. We started packing up when the fireworks were going. We stayed until the fireworks stop, when it stopped we went and said god bye to the other group and we all went home.

Music

Music is really good for you because it can help you move on with your life. It can help you to make the right choices each day. Music can help you learn about other things that’s happening in the world. Music keeps you company when you're sad and it can really make you feel happy. Music is really fun to listen to and it can calm down your mind when you're depressed, nervous or angry.

Most music is really nice and groovy and some are actually kind of crazy, but you can really get over it. Music can help you learn about Jesus and God. Music can help you be a follower of Jesus and God. Music can help you be kind and generous to other people even if they’re strangers that you don’t know.

My favourite song artist is Stan Walker and Skrillex. The songs that I like out of Stan Walker is Purple Rain, Blake Box, Let’s Stay Together, Superstar, Music Won’t Break Your Heart and Homesick.

The songs that I like out of Skrillex is  Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, Kill EveryBody, Bangarang, Summit, Make It Bun Den, Reptile’s Theme, Rock n’ Roll, My Name Is Skrillex and Kyoto.    

The three little cats

Once upon a time there were three little cats. Two of the little cats were nasty and one of the little cats was kind and generous. One day the three little cats went out to build their own houses to live in.

The first little cat went and got heaps of straw to build his own house but suddenly he heard a stick snap into pieces. He turned around and saw a huge German Shepherd. But the little cat didn't care so he carried on trying to find a spot to build his house. Little did he know that he was being followed by the German Shepherd.

The Little cat finished building his house. Than the giant German Shepherd approached the little cats house and knocked on the door. As soon as the little cat opened the door, the German Shepherd jumped on top of the cat and the cat got eaten.

The next day the German Shepherd went to the next cats house. His house was made out of wood. The German Shepherd blew the house down and ate the little cat. The two cats that got eaten were both of the nasty cats.

The third cat was a smart and also a special cat. He was so smart that he made his house out of bricks and it was so strong that nothing could break it. Then, the German Shepherd came to the third little cats house and tried to blow the house down. He tried and he tried but he just couldn't blow the house down.

So he jumped on top of the house and jumped down the chimney. He didn’t know that the little cat was cooking stew so he jumped straight into a hot pot of boiling water. “Splash!” He landed in the pot and he slowly died. The little cat survived because it was cooking the German Shepherd with his stew.

Camping with my friends

 One Day me and my three friends Paris, James and Kane went out camping. We all had to find all our gear and meet at James’s house. We left camping on Tuesday. We were all very excited about going on this trip. We had to have at least one or two adults with us just for safety.

By the time we reached the gate to go through the forest we all were puffed out. So as we were walking through the forest we were excited and scared at the same time. We were scared because there was this scary noise whistling through the trees.

When we were walking in the forest we heard a stick snap into two pieces. So we turned around and looked at what was there and we slowly went and hid through the trees and waited for someone or something to walk past.

We waited for about seven minutes and then suddenly there was a weird looking animal that had six legs and for eyes and it looks almost like an eight feet tall animal. We were really really scared because the animal looks very ferocious.

We waited and waited and waited until the cretcher walked away. It stayed for about five minutes until it walked away. When it was walking away Paris stood up and snapped stick the animal turned around and we all started running and it was chasing us we were screaming loud and know one herd us.

It was really really scary and when we got to the gate I closed it as fast as I could and it stop because of the gate. We were very freaked out and scared. so we all walked home and we would never walk into the forest again.

In the holidays me and my sister and my two brother’s went to the Movies at Sylvia Park. When we went to pay for the Movie we didn't know what we were going to watch. We were going to watch The sapphires but when we went to the counter the person said that Pitch perfect was a cool movie to watch.

She said that it was a comedy so we all agreed on it. But before we went we bought for ice block’s passionfruit flavoured. Then we went to give the ticket to the man. Next we all went to stage 4 so we went up the step’s to our seats we were all the way on top on the lazy chairs.

It was so cool on top it had a better view plus just a press of a button you can activate the lazy chair. It was pretty cool at the movies first we eat the ice block’s then we eat some chip’s and we had a drink. It was a pretty funny movie and all I saw was popcorn every wear when the movie ended.
