After a while I knew who my favorite person was. It was my younger sister Madison, Maddie for short. Now you are probably thinking why would you do your sister, when you can argue a lot like me and my sister. She is almost as tall as me and everyone thinks that I will be the shortest ( I don’t think so). She always has to annoy me and start a fight also I won't forget when she was younger and had teeth she would bite me.

Even with all the things she has done to me, she is a very kind loving sister and always has jokes that are not even funny not one single bit. She loves to do handstands, cartwheels and back arches. She can be seen sucking her thumb while snoring at the same time. Maddie is the best sister I can ever wish for and the only sister I will ever have.  

Marine Biologist

Kaimātai Koiora Moana

Marine biologists study plants and animals that live in seawater, and their relationships with each other and their environment.

To become a marine biologist, you don't necessarily need to go to a college that offers a marine biology degree. You don't even need to go to a school with an ocean nearby. The key to becoming a successful marine biologist starts with a solid background in basic science, biology, chemistry, and physics.

One day I would love to become a marine biologist so I would be able to work with dolphins turtles and all of the other sea animals.

Birthday time

Waking up I knew that it was special day but not for me. It was my dad's birthday. Walking down the hallway on my tip toes trying not to wake dad up, Madie comes stomping down the hallway like there's no tomorrow. As people started to arrive for his birthday breakfast, we asked dad to sit down first we bring out the smallest present and the card. He tears it open and it is a beer bottle opener. Next we bring out the biggest present he tears it open and it is a bay espresso mission. When everyone arrives me and Ethan start to cook breakfast while everybody watches the rugby.  Everybody gets their breakfast we clean up then we eat ours.

I think to myself I hope my dad enjoyed his birthday.   

Ah Sum

On New Gold Mountain there is a Chinese village with a stone house where Ah Sum lives. His job is to go round to people's  houses and deliver vegetables some people call bok choy muck.

As A Sum comes round to give you some bok choy you see a wrinkled old face hidden underneath his dark green hat . As he drops to his hands and knees to hand you the bok choy you are just able to see dark brown eyes pepping out underneath his hat.

Underneath his wrinkled old face and his gentle smile he is caring helpful and loving. He works hard and always looks out for other people. He lives on his own and everyday he delivers bok choy.

Many people know Ah Sum because he comes to many people's houses  and delivers bok Choy. He is quiet and does not do much talking. When he comes to people's houses you will see him bow down and then take of one bag to give to you.

Ah Sum is a very kind person and I think that you should try some bok choy.

Cross country

Nervously awaiting the teacher comes over and says lets go girls. We walk over in a bunch jumping up and down and saying I hope I do well or all I want to do is finish it and I will be happy.Now it is time to put all that hard training to work.We are all touching shoulders as we all squeeze into one line. Standing on the orange line Miss Crowley said that she will say one two three and then ring the bell.

Ready Girls ONE TWO THREE DING. All the girls run in a bunch and start with a steady pass because we still have to do four more laps. Breathing in fresh air I leaped over the hay bails and realise that I am in the top ten which is pretty good for me and then I will pace more people when they get tired. My nerves have gone and know all is left is to finish the laps. Coming through the finish line I hear all the people yelling go Georgia and see my mum saying keep the past. Finally I'm on my last lap and am now coming 5th round the corner I go and now lily passes me and I keep running behind her but when we pass the finish line she passes me. Finally cross country is finished and now I don't have to do cross country again until next year. I am really proud of myself for coming sixth.

My kite was a shaped like a  book I used brown paper bubble wrap string tape and some bamboo. I could not wait to get to fly this I thought maybe my kite is a bit big and bit too heavy but I went on with it because I have just made the frame and don’t want to change it now. Next I put on the bubble wrap and brown paper I then put on some newspaper to make it seem like a book.After a while I have finished everything but I just have to put the string in and then I have finished making my masterpiece. Next time I would make it smaller so that It will have a better chance of flying.

Holidays

Holidays

Oh no not again!“Blurr.” For the past 4 days I had been vomiting which means just lying down watching tv and getting younger or older siblings to do things like jobs.  Great! But not great.

That night I went to sleep I felt fine but that morning I woke up, hold on I will be right back…

‘’Blurr’’

‘’Blurr’’

Right so you now know that I was sick and I could not eat anything or drink anything except boiled water.

A day past which felt like a week and another day went that was a lot shorter. I would just sit there watching the tv. I watched the same program twice and then just turned the tv off.

When I woke up, the sun was shining through the crack in the curtain and I felt fine. That meant that I had to do my own jobs.      

I remember

I remember when it was christmas

and I looked out the window and saw two

pieces of string hanging from the tree in backyard.

It also had a funny looking seat hanging at the end.

I remember when I ran out the door and jumped on it as it swung in the breeze.

I remember when I sat on it and I asked mum or dad to push me.

I remember that day I came home from school and the tree was gone just lush green grass and a lemon tree.

I remember asking mum if she was going to grow another one but the answer was no but it was only going to last a little while so I got over it. Mum had kept it but did not tell me and asked my poppa to make something so I could still swing on it. That day I came home I saw some pieces of wood in a triangle stuck together and hanging at the front was the thing that I love and loved ever since I saw it.

This term we did a picture book and mine was about a magic mat here is the text

One sunny morning a little girl named Pixie was playing with the leaves.

When the wind came it would blow the leaves away and pixie would chase them.

The wind whistled and blew the leaves down to a river where there was a mat floating on the top of the water.

Pixie saw the mat and jumped onto it. Then the mat lifted up and flew high into the sky.

The magic mat stopped and took Pixie back to her home. She jumped of by the river and ran back to the tree where there were leaves that she played with.

When she was sitting on the mat up in the sky she could see everything.

Pixie always remembered that day where she could see everything.

Trinity

We have been learning about the Trinity and this is the image that I choose because it has God in the middle and then the Father Son and Holy Spirit on the outside.

 

Inquiry

We had to make something to put our information onto, so I did a mobile this is a picture of what it looks like...

Poppies

This term we had to write a Poem about ANZAC and the war. We also had dyed a picture of a poppy to put our  poem onto. This is my poem.

Dawn service

It was dark and cold on a Saturday morning.We were going to the dawn service.It was the day well morning of ANZAC Day. where we remember those that died for us in world war 1 and 2 . As we arrived there was a big crowed of people. Some people talked about how it was the 100 anniversary and how all the people died for us in war .

Then as we started walking down the road you could hear the band playing and the tanks going passed. As people stopped the next people did and they carried on and on. There was so many people around me that we were all touching shoulders. They talked more about the war . Then they showed this video we could not see it because there was a big tree in front of us. Mum tells me that there is going to be a big bang so that I won't get a fright. There is silent for a few seconds and then bang, bang, bang. I got a fright for the first one but then got used to it on the 2nd and 3rd.

ANZAC Day is the day were people fought and even some gave their lives up for our freedom. Heaps of people had to leave their family and if they had a farm they had to leave everything. I had a really good time for the first time at the dawn service.

Lantern writing

Magic lantern

Once there was a lantern a magic one. It was one that was old and not that colourful so nobody wanted to buy it. The shape was a very weird shape but it was still a magic one but nobody knew it was. Everyone just thought that it was a just not a very cool one that anyone liked. But one day a little girl was walking by a little lantern shop.

The little girl said to her mum I would like the old lantern the one that has a faded pattern on it and the colour was a colour you could not see any more because the sunshine had taken away the colour of it. The little girl ended up getting the lantern that she wanted. That night when the little girl went to bed she saw the lantern glowing in the dark. The little girl was cheerful at first she was scared but after she had joyfulness jiggling around in her body. Then minutes later music started to play out of the magic lantern. From that day on the little girl kept the magic lantern and she loved it so much.

Katy Perry Memoir

It was dark but there were people in bright yellow jackets to led us into the arena. When we arrived at the arena, I couldn't  stop smiling because we were going to the “Katy Perry Concert,” it was an early Christmas present. I have always wanted to go to Katy Perry in concert and see all the flashing lights which look like a bright colourful rainbow.

BOOM! the lights came on and the music was so loud that it was vibrating the seats which went through your body. When Katy Perry came on stage there were fireworks that looked like sparkles dropped down from the roof in big clumps. Her costume was just amazing because they lit up and sparkled like glitter.

I asked mum about the t shirts and all of Katy Perry s Merchandise and mum said lets go have a look at half time.  When it was time, mum said we were allowed to pick a t- shirt so I picked one and so did my sister. When the concert was finished we walked back to our hotel it had started to rain.
