Holiday Recount


Holiday Recount

During the holidays I went to this amazing fun zone called Big ups, I went with my brother. Big ups is in Three Kings.  It is an inflatable fun land it has: Soccer, Gladiator fighting, Boxing, Sumo wrestling, Big balls, and more.

The first thing we played was in the big balls they were very fun.  I hit Cody right over.  We had lots of fun playing in the big balls.  You had to try to knock over inflatable bowling pins that was awesome.  

The next thing we went on was boxing.  It was funny, we had a lot of fun playing boxing.  I kicked Cody then he kicked me.  I made him fall over so I won.

The next thing we played was soccer.  Soccer was awesome me and my brother played against each other.  I scored the first goal.  Then we asked other people if they want to play, they said yes.  We played for hours and hours with our new friends.

We had lots of fun playing at big ups.  I hope we can play at big ups again, but with more people next time.  I wish we didn’t have to leave.

I Know Someone Who Can...



I Know Someone Who Can...

I know someone who can
do a front flip and land on their feet.
I know someone who can
throw popcorn in the air and catch it in their mouth.
I know someone who can
juggle a soccer ball for a long time.
I know someone who can
do a hand stand into a forward flip.
I know someone who can
balance a book on their head.
I know someone who can
pull themselves along the grass with only their hands.
I know someone who can
do a bendy bridge.
I know someone who can
run round for two hours non stop.
I know someone who can
eat two buckets of popcorn and still be hungry.
I know some one who can
balance a pen on their arm and can catch it.
I know someone who can
eat two boxes of pizza.
And that someone is
Me!

My time at the Museum.




Hooray we were going to the Museum on Tuesday November 1st 2011. In my group I had: Kobe, Addnan, Cody N, Jacob and my dad Craig was in my group. We went to the Museum, because we were learning about treasure. I was so excited to go to the Museum. The first place we went to was the Maori part of the Museum. We saw a huge Waka with a carving and with lots and lots of seats.


The next place we went to was the Natural discovery place of the Museum. There were: Moas, Kiwis, Penguins, Birds, Fosils and Dinosaurs. We saw different types of birds.

The next place we went to was the swamp. There was a bird hiding in the grass and there was a fake bird in the water swimming in the water.

After that we went and had our lunch. We got to play bull rush it was heaps of fun.

Then if we were finished our lunch, we were allowed to have some free time and just look at different stuff. But only on the first floor. I enjoyed looking at the exhibits. Then we had to go back to school on the bus. I wish we could go back to the Museum again.

Making 3D nets by Jarred



My 3D cube making experience

.By Jarred.

On Monday Mrs Walters came in and taught us about 3D and 2D shapes. The difference between a 3D shape and a 2D shape is that a 3D shape has width, depth, and length. But a 2D shape only has length and width but no depth. Then we found out that a 3D cube has: 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. Then we had to choose a partner my partner was Jacob I choose Jacob because he stays on task. We had to use wine gums and Kebab skewers. After we finished making our 3D cube we had to estimate how long one Kebab Skewer would be. I guessed 20 cm then we had to measure it and it was 20 cm. Then we had to calculate how long all of them would be all together I calculated 240 cm. Then Jacob and I measured it and it was 240 cm. After we did that we were allowed to eat our wine gums they were delicious.
