Toy Story

This term our topic is toy story and NO not the movie. Our topic is about how every toy has a story to it. The story might be that the toy made you feel safe at night, your favourite barbie, the ball that you couldn’t stop playing with and all you remember now is you had fun. So.. do you and your toy have a story?

Reading Eggs

This term  Mr Barks has introduced us to a new program called Reading eggs, Reading eggs is an online reading program which takes you through a series of stadium challenges,comprehension stories, and library books. Reading eggs all started with a test that we all had to take which put you into the right level, my level was 5-1 which my friend Andrea got as well but don’t worry we didn’t cheat because now I’m at 5-4 and Andrea is at 5-3.

In Reading eggs you can earn eggs which are like money where you can spend in the mall, you also hit targets which you get from completing a series of books or comprehension stories. In reading eggs there are many different things to do that I haven't quite mentioned yet you have your own apartment a mall and there is a writing press which we haven’t used yet and also we are NOT allowed to use the mall unless we have free time.

The picture above shows the floating island which is the home page where you can access everything  plus see how many eggs you have and how many targets you have hit.Our teacher Mr Barks likes to check up on our work and how much we have been progressing  with our learning.
Each day we have to do one comprehension, one of all the stadium challenges and a minimum 2 books a day.

I think that if our class keeps going with reading eggs we will get better and achieve more in our reading.

Triple Threat Take Two

Triple threat! You maybe thinking, what is that?, or what does it mean? A triple threat is something that has to do with going somewhere, you might be going somewhere and doing more than three things at once you could have a profession in many different subjects.


Now I still haven’t answered the question why am I writing about this a triple threat well heres part one. So, at the beginning of the year my Nan and Grandad moved to Australia and I haven’t seen them in almost a year and they're coming back and this will be my only chance to see them until next year.



As it turns out this is going be a very busy week because it's my best friends birthday! a surprise party and a surprise guest ME...!. My friend Matyla and I have been planning this for a couple of weeks and I am so excited. This would be the first time I’ve seen them both in months which might not sound long in a boys world but for us girls it fell's like eternity.


I called my story a triple threat because I’m doing three things at once, ohh did I also mention it’s a holiday as well but I’ll be the only one NOT at school.

I really hope Brooke has the best birthday ever and my fabulous Nan has a great time home and I'll have a great Holiday.

Stay tuned for a follow up on this story when I come back.

Triple Threat

Triple threat, you might be thinking what is that or what does it mean and why many things  would someone write about this well heres the my answer. A triple threat is where you might be going somewhere and be doing many things or have a profession in lots of different subject.

Part 1
Now I still haven’t answered your question why am I writing about this ? well heres part one as the title states. So at the beginning of the year my Nan and Grandad moved to Australia and I haven’t seen them in almost a year and there coming back in about a week.

Part 2
My best friends birthday! a surprise party and a surprised guest ME. My friend Matyla and I have been planning this for a while and I was so happy when my mum said yes this would be the first time I’ve seen them months which might not sound long to you but in a girls world it’s like forever.


Now I wondering will our plan work or be a complete disaster. Why I called my story a triple threat is because I’m doing three things a once ohh did I forget to mention it a holiday as well but I’ll be the only one NOT at school.

I really hope our plan works and Brooke has the best birthday ever, Nan is happy to be home and I have a great holiday stay tuned for more as I will be giving you a full update next week.  

Paralympics

Step over Olympics and come through Paralympics. Paralympics are different to the Olympics in some ways they are for people who have disabilities.

The paralympics consist of all sports the paralympics are a major international multi sport event for people with physical disabilities this includes mobility disabilities, amputations, blindness and cerebral palsy which is a muscle disease.

Paralympics have a wide variety of disabilities that Paralympics athletes have trained to do. This is not your ordinary sport really its far from different but in the same way work their but off the achieve.


I hope that if I was an Olympian that I would not give up even if I has a disability.

The Final Second Counts

This week the year 7 and 8 girls had their Basketball tournament where we could really show off our talented skills. We had to try our very best to work together as a team or not.

Baradene was our first school to play against, we were nervous but at the same time we were eager to win. The whistle blew and we were ready to eliminate them. Oshania scored the first shoot and we all screamed excitedly on the court. We got the first score but Baradene knew that they had to step up their game. Halftime went, we were all nervous they had the lead from the first half. As the second half had started we got more shoots and the buzzer went off, we had claimed victory for our first game.

Screaming and yelling we wanted to win this so it could put us into the finals. Our shooting was good their shooting was good they had defence it was a tie the ref said we had to have a shoot out the other team went first. We both got it in and then they both lost.Finally the other team missed as Oshania got it in we went into the finals. We were through to the finals, but we got one more school to challenge.

The Finals, it came down to us and Churchill park.
They were really good and we had previously faced  them and lost. The game started it was pretty intense and you could tell the score was gonna be close it was halftime we were leading but not for long they stepped up their game there was 20 SECONDS  left in the game and they scored we tried to get that ball in the basket but beep it was over we had came seconds in the tournament. But didn’t worry we still have another chance to win at the interzones in a couple of week so stay tuned and to see what we came.

My Friends

Friends
My friends... they’re loving, caring and friendly.
There always there for me when I’m down, plus they help me with important stuff. There the ones who keep me grounded, without them I don’t know what I would do. Everyone has a best friend but for me, It can’t be one or two there's gotta be more, because when I moved away from levin I became friends with many more people.

My Auckland friends

My first visit to Auckland was fun, and that was when I meet my first friend here, Erin we meet at tennis and then she started coming to my mums fitness classes.
My next friend was Lucy who was my old next door neighbour I remember when our families had dinner together we clicked straight away and we ended up making a friend magazine. Now school time My first day and I already had some good friends Tui, Jasmine and Ramona then after a couple of weeks I had way more friends named Tyla, Tule, Andrea...and lots more.


My Levin friends.

Brooke, Mania and Aleesha my best friends we meet on the first day of school when we were year 1’s  and we were almost in the same class the whole time we were at school. When we were split we became far apart but then last year we were reunited. Everytime I go back to Levin I will always be at one of their houses or at mine.

My friends are like sisters to me but  in  so many ways, they act the same and sometimes It’s like they think, the same!!! There even crazier than me at times but that’s what makes them my friends.
