Swimming

On Wednsday we went swimming with Chris. He told us about safety and staff so we had to put on a life jacket. He was telling us to do a huddle and all that staff about safety. I let Waata use my towel because he didn't have one so I shared with him. Girls were cold and Teresa had purple lips. All fair people have cold lips when they hop in the pool they get purple on their lips fast, like they are allergic

Halloween

On Sunday at one o’clock in the afternoon I went trick or treating. In the beginning we got dressed up in our normal clothing. We got nothing but on the 5Th house we got 2 strawberry lollies and I went home to get dressed up as the dead Han Tana. And at this big house and he gave us lot’s of lollies he was the best give away out of all of them. Me and my cousin Mele had lot,s of lollies we were the only the ones out of all my Family that had lots of lollies we got a hole bag and Reanan was ghost rider my cousin Sealina my brother Hiwarau they were dressed up as an ugly zombie and an ugly witch.

My Weekend

In the weekend I went to Onehunga with my Godmother, her name is Te Roimata. I saw my cousin his name is Zane. He’s got a bike which I got to ride. I rode down a big hill and to top it off also I got 40 dollars to go to the movie at Sylvia Park. Afterwards we went to the wharf and had fun jumping off the high bit where my uncle was fishing. I tried to get the fish but I never got it because it was all slimy and it was struggling hard.

Bug Hunt

On Tuesday Room 15 went bug hunting. We went looking for lots and lots of creepy crawlies all over the school grounds. As a class, we found pill bugs, jumping spiders and dragonflies too. I was grossed out by the ugly spiders and the slimy slugs that we came across. The day was as hot as a stove. We all felt like fried eggs! We ripped lots of bark off the tree to find freaky spiders as big as my thumbnail. Zion and Kobe found some too. They weren’t scared, instead Zion was psyched to hold the spider in her hands. We kept on scaring Tauwhare and she was screaming.

Cross Country

In cross country the year sixes had to start the races before they raced. While they were waiting nervously at the line Mr Burt had the clappers. He banged the wooden clappers hard and the Year 6’s were sprinting off leaving people behind them.

The year fives had to get up and race next. As soon as Mr Burt banged the clappers I sprinted off a quarter of the way and then jogged the whole way and only stopped only once. My heart was beating fast and I couldn’t breath properly and my lungs were screeching.
as soon as I got to the gate I sprinted of trying to get near the finished line I sprinted my hardest. It was me and a little boy racing together and as we came a tie I said “Nice running.”
When I finished I ask Mr Burt, “Did I come 8?”, he said “Yes”

My weekend

In  the weekend I went to my cousin’s house and played on his trampoline. I  can do back flips and when I come down my feet are hit the tramp, which  is as cold as a fridge. On my way back down from my jump my heart  starts to beats faster. My cousin Tiaraki asked me, “how did you do that  Piriniha?” “Oh it’s just easy for me to do.” I replied. I explained to  him, “the reason why it isn’t so hard for me is because I’ve been  practicing flips a couple of times a day until I finally got the hang of  it. I went back to focusing on my flips, bouncing twice to get height. I  pulled my stomach backwards and tucked my legs to my chest. I twisted  my body in a backwards flip and bent my legs to land a perfect flip. My  cousin’s eyes were amazed by my backflip. “Can you do a front flip?” My  cousin asked. “Sure can! Can you?” I asked. “No I'm not flexible as  you.” He laughed. Afterwards we went to the shops to get some lollies  for the other children. I wanted to save the lollies for us kids for  tomorrow when we were visiting Nan’s house. The other kids were too  excited to wait for the lollies but they were also excited because we  were going to Mangarei Pools, but thats another story to tell

Prince and Tau experiment

On Thursday Mr Barks taught us how dry ice works. He had a big coke bottle with water in it. He told us that had put a little bit of mentos in bottle. He then added dry ice and water and it started to shoot around all of us on the ground. "Wow!" We all said in amazement.

Mr Barks had stuff that can kill you it is 78.5 Celsius. It is dried ice, if you touch it it can cause lots of damage. He had water and dried ice in the bottle and it made the top blow off. The second one blew the bottom off too. We all were very impressed by Mr Barks experiments. I learnt why it is not safe to play with dry ice because it can give you blisters!

Capture the Flag

Room 14 and 15 played Capture the Flag. As Miss King explained the rules we had to listen carefully. The rules are- if they come over our line we tag them. They were red and we were green.
Satrford got 2 scores and I gained 1 as well. We were sweating from our hard work running. When I was tagged I stayed there for a long time. Finally Rita got me and I was gratefully rescued.

Maraetai Pools

On Sunday my family and I went to the Maraetai Pools.
I went on the slide. Sometimes you can go so fast that you will splash. There were lots of people then I saw Beau at the pools. We jumped straight in the pool and it was deep. People were doing bombs. It splashed all over my body.
I drank some water and then we ate chips and white bread.
Finally we went home. My cousin said, "Where were you?"

Welcome to Room 15 Piriniha.
