Prize Giving

On Thursday afternoon from 2 till 3 was prize Giving. The year 3’s were waiting for their turn then it was time. I was so excited then they announced who came 1st 2nd and 3rd. 

For 3rd equal was me and zaeda then 2nd was Toby and in 1st place was pisirina. My family was really proud of me and my Aunty said she doesn't care about what place I come she said at least I got a award.

When I came third I came down the stairs and my family put a lot of lollie layers on. I felt really happy for what place I came and my family was really proud of me. 

I'm gonna try my hardest next year.

Reflections

Yellow hat- What I loved about this year was Extension when we got to hangout with our best friends also we got to make movies and eat subway. If it was raining Miss King would put a movie on. The movie we already finished watching was Charlie and the chocolate factory. It was really, really cool and I loved it.

White hat- I learnt a lot of things like what's right to do and what's wrong, how to respect others and be in the right place at the right time with the right attitude.

Blue hat- we can make it better by focusing on our work, don't bully anyone and be a Role Model every day. When you become a Rolemodel the right thing to do is be sensible talk to people nicely and help.

Grey hat- what wasn't so great this year was the little boys shouting and having to hear Miss King growl the little boys.

Green hat- The most interesting thing about this year was having a big bouncy castle at our school. When I was climbing up the ladder it was a bit wobbly but I got to the top. When I got to the top I jumped before I slid down.

Red hat- I felt happy and sad but I still got through the whole year. When I would be sad my friends would help me. When I was happy I would be smiling and playing with my friends.

Museum

On Thursday morning year 3 went to the museum. First we had to get into our groups.  My museum helper was my uncle Trevor.

When we got to the museum the first place that we went to was the Kai room. The Kai room was where we ate food. 

Then we started our treasure hunt. The first place that I went to was Encounter. Encounter was a place with dresses and shoes it was a cool fun place.

The next place that we went to was Wild child. Wild child was really cool because there was a big treehouse. In the treehouse there was a orangutan and bunnies.

Then it was time to go to volcanoes. There was a giant volcano in the middle of the room and 3 rocks to see which was the heaviest. The 2 on the side were very light but the one in the middle was the heaviest. 

 

After we went in the classroom with josh. We learnt about Tyrannosaurus rex and triceratops. We were sharing bones from T Rex and triceratops. We even got to see a baby Tyrannosaurus rex head. Then we touched triceratops poo I thought it was a brain but it was actually poo.

Then it was time to go I had great fun there and I hope to do it again.

Weekends

On Saturday afternoon at 12 o'clock I went swimming with my auntie,uncle, my cousins my sisters and my mum. We went to Parnell pools. 

There was one cold pool that was the deepest pool. I was shivering when I got in the pool it was like ice. Then I got used to it.

 

I saw Tyler Marie in the pool with her little cousin. I slid down the new slide and I stood under the bucket where it fills up and tips all the water on you it was warm water. 

Then we had a break. We had chicken sandwiches and a drink of Mountain Dew. We were jumping off the sides and my uncle caught us. He chucked me and my cousin in the pool.

After we swam I had a shower and we wenT to Kmart and took photos of what we were going to get for Christmas. Then we went to Burger King to get rodeo burgers and we went back home

Lucky I'm going again next week I wish I could do it on school days.

                         The yummy yum yum—osaurus

The yummy yum yum osaurus is calm and is a brightful dinosaur. He lives in dream world. Dream world is a world full of white chocolate.

The yummy yum yum—osaurus lived 34 million years ago in the healing period. The healing period was when dinosaurs got hurt they had to go to the tallest mountain Mount Gummy.

So when the sun was going down at Mount Gummy they had to climb the mountain and then they would get healed. Every evening there would be 60 people there.

His favourite food is lollies also his nickname is junkie.He always likes to swim in the pool and his favourite thing is jumping on gummy trampolines. There is one dinosaur he is afraid of the strength—osaurus. 

He has strength that can tear down a tree with only one push. He has a sharp tail and humongous muscles that can lift up 4 yummy yum yum—osaurs.

If he  sees strength—osaurus ,he has a secret siren. The siren goes on and if strength—osaurus tries to enter he will get blown away.

Bouncy castle

Last Friday during assembly Mr Burt told the whole schools that would have a turn on the inflatable bouncy castle. I was totally excited, he said that the whole school would have two turns each also in partners of two.

Once we were in class we sat down on the mat and waited for the other extension kids,then when the others arrived we were planning to make our movies. When we finished parts of our movie Mr Jacobsen came to our classroom and said" take your shoes and socks off because it's your guys turn to go on the bouncy castle." Everybody was so excited when we were lining up.

We walked to the huge line. When we were lining up, we were thinking of what we were going to do. I thought about doing one jump and sliding down the stripy slide. When it was my turn I clambered up the handles by doing one after another, we would only get two turns on the inflatable castle, when I got to the top I plummeted down by going like a falling angel.

After our turn we lined up behind our class. Then on our next turn I was like a cannonball. Our turns were all finished, we had a great time,thank you Tamaki Pride.

Kiwi sport basketball

Every Tuesday after lunch room 13 goes to kiwi sport basketball with Coach Vinnie and Coach Shinice.

When our class arrives at basketball we sit on the cool hall ground. We warm up our muscles by playing these games, stuck in the mud, red light green light, octopus and line tiggy.

Coach Vinnie taught us some skills. They were v dribbles, bongo drums and shooting like a waiter. He said  "Never double dribble in basketball." These skills will help us when we play basketball.

At the end of our lesson we play a game where our whole class gets to play together. The idea is for the team to get the most goals up to five. The winning team gets to aeroplane around the hall.

My favourite thing about kiwi sport basketball was shooting and getting goals. What I learnt was v dribbling. It was fun for me v dribbling.

Thanks coach Vinnie and coach Shenice for teaching us new skills about basketball.

Mr Bean

 The fat old lady barked and pointed at the long grass with her walking stick. “Cut the grass, Mr Bean” she shouted while looking at the old lawn mower. Reluctantly, Mr Bean headed over to start the rusty old machine.

“Splutter splutter” Smoke poured from the mower. Mr Bean looked around, he wasn’t one for hard work. He knew there had to be an easier way. Out of the corner of his eye Mr Bean noticed the cage full of little bunny rabbits.

Picking some of the grass Mr bean walked over to the cage and gave a bunch to the Rabbits.Quickly they gobbled up the sweet green treat. Now he had an idea.

Tinkering in his shed Mr Bean created the perfect tool for a man as lazy as himself. A rabbit lawnmower. After setting the bunnies to work he relaxed back in his lawn chair and enjoyed a cool glass of lemonade.

Marshmallows

Beside a lake surrounded by tall trees a small boy toasted marshmallow over a warm fire. Thump thump came a noise from behind him.He looked round and jumped up. Facing the monster the boy held his marshmallow stick out like a sword.

Luckily the boy he noticed that the monster was only interested in his marshmallows. Carefully he held out a marshmallow and the monster snatched it up with his tongue. Like a performing dog the monster kept doing tricks until he realised that the marshmallows had all disappeared.
