American store & Patumahoe

Sunday afternoon me and my friend Starr went to the american store (Martha's backyard) in Mount Wellington. The reason why we went to the american store is because we wanted to get these ver popular jelly beans called Bean Boozled. Bean Boozled is a box of jelly beans that have jelly beans that look the same but one might taste good or one might taste really gross. 

When we arrived to the store I quickly went inside to find a candy called warheads. When I was looking there wee no more warheads left, I was a bit angry because they were really sour candy which taste's really good. Instead of looking for them I got my first favourite chips called cheettos (flaming hot) which were really spicy chips. 


Starr and I finally found the Bean Boozled and then we came across to Berti Botts harry potter jelly beans, they looked ver interesting so we bought both boxes of jelly beans. I was really scared because there were some really bad flavours, i've already tried the bean boozled but I thought it would be fun to do it again. As I went to buy my candy my dad asked if I could buy my little pool that was four dollars so I said sure. When we purchased our items Starr and I went back into the car ready to go to Patumahoe, that's were my aunty and uncle lives.


When we were putting up the tree at their house it was really hard to stand up because it was a real tree so it was really big to. It was really hard putting the tinsel on because it was so wide and spiky, there were a lot of decorations so we had to try put them all on the tree. When we finished doing the tree it looked so weird. It looked really funny. After that me and Starr did the bean boozled challenge and I got every single bad flavour.

Helping my mum at work

Today my mum and I drove to her work, she works at green-fingers. Green- fingers is a garden bin company, all of the truck drivers have to drop off bins and garden bags off to people that have ordered them.

As we were pulling up to her work there was a big muddy puddle in front of our park. The weather was not nice to, it was raining so we had to get into the office quick because I couldn't get my cast wet. When we were walking up the bins smelt bad EWWW!!

Inside the office there were 3 men sitting at their desks. There names were Mike, Scott and Bertan. When I fist went in it was really quiet and a bit awkward. The other office people were having a christmas party.

After a little while my mum asked me if I could do the runs for her. The runs is papers that have peoples names on them and you have to put them into snap lock bags. When I was finished we went home.

Putting up the christmas tree at aunty Lisa and uncle Liam's house

Tomorrow is Sunday and my mum, dad, brother and I are driving to Patumahoe. Were going to my aunty and uncle's house to help put up the christmas tree. Last time we went there their christmas tree was really small it was the part of the tree you attach on top. I like going to their house because they have a really big backyard and a dog named Yoshi he loves to play with the flying disc.

When we went before the drive was really long it was about 45 minutes long. I thought it was really fun the last time because we had a barbecue and some of their friends were there to. Whenever we help set up the tree with them they always play christmas songs on the TV. I can't wait to go tomorrow.

Leap

Today was my little cousin's birthday. She was turning 4 today, for her birthday party we went to a place called Leap which is down hamilton. Leap is a indoor trampoline park just like the place called jump.

7:00 in the morning was the time my mum had to wake me up to get ready for the party. I was really tired and it is school holidays so I wanted to sleep in. When I was all ready and dressed it was time to wake up my brother Orlando, he was a sleepyhead because when I was calling his name he still wasn't waking up.

Once my mum, Orlando and I were in the car we had to pick up aunty Lee because she was coming to hamilton with us. When she was in the car we went back home to get the cake and to take my medicine. The cake was a frozen cake that had Olaf on top, my mum made it all by herself it looks so cool.




Because we didn't have time to eat breakfast we all went to McDonald's  it was yummy. On our way to hamilton. As we were driving there I started getting a little tired so I laid back and closed my eyes and before you knew it I was asleep for like about 40 minutes, when I woke up my mum said were almost there. Pulling up to a parking I saw a sign saying Leap indoor trampoline park. I was excited because it was just like jump.

Inside there were a lot of trampolines, two inflatable things and a  big foam pit oh and one basketball hoop place which was really fun. I got it in the hoops a couple of times even without looking. Kai time!!! After a big jump all the kids got called for a Kai all the food look delicious. There were chicken drumsticks, salads, sausages and more. There were also some really good fruit kebabs with blueberries, oranges, strawberries, blackberries, grapes and a lolly on the end.

Last day of school

Today was Pt England's last day, because it was the last day of school we had half day so we all got to finish at 12:30pm. In the morning we had our assembly just like we do on Friday's. At assembly I got to kids@work certificates, one was for fruit flies and the other one was for sports monitors. 

When assembly had finished we went into our literacy classes and sat on the mat. Then Mrs Garden and Mr Goodwin told us to get in some groups so she put together some team captains, I was in Juliet's team. The groups were for a game called ghost. Our team came 2nd to last and the winning team was Josh's team so they got  to get one freddo frog each. 

Our second game was called snakes. Snakes is when you get given a lolly and and you have to save the wrapper, once you've finished the lolly carefully rip the wrapper and whoever makes the longest snake won a freddo frog. And guess who won, well it wasn't our team but it was Maysun's team. 

Our last game was pass the parcel, Mrs Garden changed the game a bit so there were three different coloured card and you had to do what the colour says. If the music stopped on you but you didn't want to open it you can pass it to someone else. When the music stopped on me I didn't want to open it because it could of been the orange card and that means you have to sing a verse of any song. After the games we had morning tea. 

During morning tea people were signing my cast ( I fractured my wrist). Thanks for signing my cast guys Stevenson, Elizabeth U, Marilyn, Promise, Jalen, Louis, and Collin. When that was all finished I went to play four square with my friends ( with one hand). The bell had gone and everyone was now in there math classes Mr Somerville said we could play a couple of games. Our first game was called silent ball, it's when you have to throw and catch a ball silently. I thought that game was really fun and challenging. Our very last game of the year was called BANG I got out a couple of times. 

When it was about 11:50 we all lined up ready to go to the hall. When we were in the hall Mrs Jacobson gave out mini candy canes , they were yummy. After assembly we all said bye to our teachers and friends and then we all went home. I'm going to miss my friends and teachers.

Happy holidays xoxo

Kawau island recount


Brooklyn Camp movie from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.



Last week on tuesday the year 6 kids went to Kawau Island for they're camp. All the year 6’s were really excited because we were camping on an island. At Kawau Island there a lot of activities that looked really fun.


My first favourite activity was kayaking because I just love rowing across the ocean. When we went kayaking it was windy so the waves were really big and strong. When I was rowing, the kayak started leaning on one side so that started to scare me because I thought that I was going to fall out, but lucky I evened the kayak out. Even though it was really rough out sea it was still really fun.

Every morning we all would wake up at 7:00am and go outside to stretch and for our run. This is so we could keep fit and to wake us up. I thought the run was fun because it was really interesting with a lot of nature. The run was also a little hard because there were uphills and downhills, I think downhills were the hardest because you had to be very careful that you don’t slip and hurt yourself.


The very first activity did was bivouac I found that pretty fun. If you're wondering what that is well bivouac is a tent made out of sticks and other things you find in the woods but it must be waterproof. When we had to make our one Guess what? It failed yes it failed we all got wet. We were pretty disappointed.

When it was the last day of camp which was also a sad day because no one wanted to leave, since it was the last day of camp the teachers planned us a sports day which meant we had to challenge other groups. Kawau which was our group won 2 out of three games which was really good. The 2 games we won we're volleyball and bush baseball, and the game we lost was touch but besides that I think we still did really good. I thought camp was really fun and cool it was so fun I didn’t even want to leave. My favourite part about camp overall would probably be kayaking because it is just so fun and gives you a really good arm exercise. I would definitely recommend this camp to the year 5s going on year 6’s next year because I know that they’ll just have so much fun and I bet they won't want to leave.

Every morning we all would wake up at 7:00am and go outside to stretch and for our run. This is so we could keep fit and to wake us up. I thought the run was fun because it was really interesting with a lot of nature. The run was also a little hard because there were uphills and downhills, I think downhills were the hardest because you had to be very careful that you don't slip and hurt yourself.

Wildlife (Kawau Island)


Here is my wildlife presentation I did about the wild things on Kawau Island. On my presentation I have all the different birds on Kawau Island. I hope you enjoy and I hope you learn something. The reason why these strange animals are on Kawau Island is because they were brought by a man called Sir George Grey, he also owns the mansion on Kawau Island.

Being a Good Friend

WALT: explain to your reader what being a good friend means

What are friends? Well friends are people you hang out with and play together share stuff with, have sleepovers with and more fun and exciting things . Having friends are a good thing because you won't be lonely all the time and you will also have a lot of fun. Whenever you're feeling down your friends will always be by your side.


To be a good friend you will have to be nice and respectful to your friends and even people you don't know. Sometimes you can  just smile then they might smile back and that's how you know you've been a good friend to someone. Another way to be a good friend is to help your friends out if they are having trouble with thing’s like school work. Always remember to be a good friend to others and friends.


The reason why we  have friends is so that you won't be lonely at school and even other  places, if you have friends you can always have someone to talk to and hang out with and in the weekends or holidays you can catch up with each other and maybe have sleepovers to. I think it would be fun to have sleepovers in the holidays and weekends or even birthday parties. This year I turned ten and my friends and I had a sleepover at my house it was really fun.

How do you know they are your true friends? Well for me I have friends that are honest , loyal, kind and funny that’s how I know my friends were my true friends. Make sure your friends are kind and honest and make sure they are not mean to you and especially to anybody else. If they are mean and pick on other people then you know that person is not your true friend.  


I think having friends is awesome and you will have a lot of fun with them, so make sure you have good friends. Make sure to be a good friend to so you don’t lose them.

Capital letters

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.


Introduction: If you were to write a capital letter on a lined paper the letters should be touching the top line so there much bigger than the other letters.


Names: Capital letters are always used when typing or handwriting someones name, if I were to type my name it would start with a capital letter like this (Brooklyn). Capital letters are very important to use for names because they aren't just anything that word are people’s  names. For example My friends Khaia, Ariana and Lucy.


Holidays:  Holidays are also capital letters for sentences, the reason why the have capital letters is because Christmas it’s not just any ordinary word it is a celebration most people do with their families and friends. Christmas is also to celebrate jesus birthday. Here is an example of a capital letter sentence Tomorrow my family and friends are coming over to celebrate Christmas.


Places: If at anytime naming a country or city you must always have a capital letter because countries and cities are places. They are not just a random made up word it is a real word. The city and country  I live in is called Auckland New Zealand. Alot of people come from many different countries like India, China, Russia, Mexico, Fiji and more. Did you see how I named every country with a capital letter?

Dates: Dates must always have a capital letter because it is a day of the week like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday they are all days of the week So you should always put a capital letter at the start.




Conclusion: Capitals are very important so use them!!!

Newspaper article

Chromebook users
By Brooklyn
Kids at Pt england school have many digital devices like ipads, imacs , Chromebooks and more. The reason why is so that it  can help them with their learning.

All year 4 to 8 student have their very own Chromebook, that they use almost everyday to learn . Why do year 4 to 8 students have their own chromebook, Khaia, a  students from Pt England School says “ so our parents don’t have to spend a lot of money on stationary every year, and with our chromebooks we can type instead of write” Not all year 4 to 8 students have a Chromebook because some parents can’t afford it.



The cost of chromebooks are usually 500 dollars  from the store but students at Pt England School students get their very own digital chromebook for under 400 dollars, so probably 350 dollars. The good thing about it is it doesn't just come with a chromebook it also includes 1 chromebook bag and a charger. I think the price is good because it’s totally worth it.


The size of a chromebook is kinda of like a macbook air size but thicker at the top and bottom, a chromebook is pretty big for a student laptop. Marilyn a student from Pt England School says “"I don't really like the size at all infact sometimes I wish that I had a laptop like my teacher but I guess I just have to be grateful for what my mum and dad did for it to be mine" Some chromebooks can be different sizes like big,small wide and thin.


In 2026 chromebook will probably be the size of an imac and imacs are really big, lets hope they don’t get to bid because that would be very hard to put into your backpack and especially carry around. Imagine holding an imac everyday i'm guessing it would be really heavy. Ariana another student from Pt England School says “ I think chromebooks will be a hologram laptop that you can touch and work on” It would actually be pretty cool if chromebooks were a hologram because you could spill water on it and it wouldn't get wet.

Escape Afghanistan

I wouldn't want to be on a small chartered boat with 438 passengers on board because it would be hard to breath and move around, it would also be really hot and sticky inside. If I had to go toilet I'd probably just pass that the toilet on the boat is a little hole with a piece of wood with no doors, no walls and no sinks.






















The people were squashed because there were probably other families traveling to safer countries.

Let The Games Begin

Introduction
Let the games begin yay!! It is officially happening and the Commonwealth games are finally here. We have all been waiting for a very long four big years and it has  arrived. This year’s games will be held in Glasgow, Scotland. I am so proud of the countries that are part of the Commonwealth Games because the athletes have had to train really really hard and compete in some  difficult events.

Do you know Valerie Adams, well if you don’t she is one of the shot put champions from New Zealand . She has won many competitions in the past years and guess what  this morning Valerie Adams won a  Gold medal in shot put with the distance of 19.88 meters.  This year Valerie Adams won her 3rd commonwealth medal and got it reported on the news. This morning Lauren Boyle won a gold medal and became the New Zealands first commonwealth champion in  the womens 40om freestyle in swimming. Lauren has competed in two commonwealth games and two olympic games. I bet lauren Boyle will win the next game.

Movies

This morning I went to the movies with my aunty, uncle and my two cousins Marius and Chloe. At the movies we went to see How to train you're dragon 2, When we arrived at the movies it was about 10:30 and the movie started at 11:00 so we still had half an hour to spend. After we brought the tickets we all went to the game room and played this cool shark attack game with my little cousin Marius. When we got through the middle of the game I died from this weird shrimp thing and so my cousins won. 

When it came to about 10:50 all of us went back into the line and brought us some food, I got a popcorn and a drink so as Chloe she got the same thing. When we headed to the cinema room we had to find our seats our seat letter was D so we had to up the stairs and turn left. As I sat on my seat my bottom got wet because someone had spilt there drink on the seat it was really uncomfortable,  my uncle told me to ask my aunty for a plastic bag to sit on so I did when she gave it to me it was so small so it didn't really do anything. Yay!! the lights were slowly fading and that meant the adds were starting. After about ten minutes of adds and trailers the movie finally started to play.  

After the movie finished my uncle and aunty like to watch the credits so me and my cousins play around the cinema, me and Chloe went up to the couches that were further up from our seats. After we sat on the couches we went down to the very front of the screen and it was making us so dizzy I was like falling over it was really funny. Like 5 minutes later the credits finished and it was time to leave, when we were leaving there were two cleaners waiting for us to exit so that they could clean up all the mess on the floor and the seats. 

As we were walking back to the car we stopped into Pak N Save and got those new hundreds and thousands chocolate. When we finished our Pak N Save trip me and Chloe went to SubWay and we both got a 6 inch meatball sandwich with a M&Ms cookie. Couple minutes later we headed back to the car and drove to my house and dropped me of home.

The little boy and the fire breathing dragon

100, 00 years ago when I wasn't even born a young little boy called  Sam Woods was walking along a path when he spots a big moving shadow  shoved in the corner of a cave. Hmm that's strange Sam says, Sam was so excited to check it out but Sam was on the other side, see a long time ago the ground had separated into half  so it made a huge hole on the ground. As Sam looks around he see's a really long vine hanging from a tree above. Sam went to check if it was strong enough to hold his weight, it's strong enough he says.

Sam hopped on the vine a began to swing across the hole below. When he had landed feet first on the ground he slowly tiptoes over to the moving object. Sam put his hand over it to feel what it was, it was all soft and slimy yuck sam said. He (Sam) shone his torch further up and saw a eye looking right at him. Arrhh!! Sam screamed it started to move around I slowly backup. No way it can't be Sam said A dragon,  it was so big and looked pretty heavy. I try put my hand on it's back but it pushed me away to the side.

A few years had past and Sam had grown up he was now 14 and the dragon had become his awesome pet. They flew together they loved each other they had so much fun together and they always protected one another. One day Sam was on a holiday with his family and when he came back he saw his dragon lying on the ground with an arrow stuck in his left wing. Sam quickly ran over to him NOOOOOO!!!!!!

The tale of RatMan

While searching for food a little girl stood next to a fountain yelling for her parents,she looks lost I say to myself, I scatter to the lost girl but she runs away. Well I guess she will  I am a rat after all, well i’m not just an ordinary rat I am a super rat I am RatMan but my real name is Poochi Smackintosh. That may not sound like a real name but my parents are into really weird stuff and i’m pretty sure  when I was born my mum blurted out a random name. Anyway back to the story, after accidently scaring the girl away I scatter back to the dark lonely tunnel with nobody to be heard or seen. I say my magic word and turn back into a human.


The Day went past and it now was wednesday  when my best  friend Rafael came knocking on the door like there  was something awesome or important to tell me. I run out of bed and walk down the hallway to unlock the front door and obviously Rafael burst out a bunch of words and stuff that I could not understand at all. The probably only sentence I heard was Last night a little girl was killed at 10pm by the same place I was hanging around last night. I put my hand over Rafael ‘s mouth and freeze in horror “ That was the girl I saw yesterday crying infront of the fountain” I cried

We head to town to check out the crime scene It was covered with tape and cones. Rafael has no idea about my super power and that I am a superhero so I tell him I have to go to the bathroom. I don’t like lying to him  but this is a serious problem and I have to find out who had done this like now. When I went into the bathroom to say my magic word there was a man washing his hands. After he got out I quickly said it and then cleared out. I quickly ran to the stinky sewer and went through the little tunnel so I could get there faster. Once I made it out I slowly pushed up the sewer lid and crawled out.


I use my little nose  to sent the scene and all I could smell was the the sea and air. This was going to be a tough day and maybe night. As the day continued we head out for lunch so we walked down to Burger King to fill up our starving stomachs, after lunch we went back and saw a strange shadow heading to the valley. When we quickly tiptoed over Rafael noticed a man in a black leather jacket with white writing on it.

Who's fault was the sinking of the Titanic

On the 15th of April  1912 a young lady named Anna Finkelberg Felt awake. So she went for a stroll down to the deck to look at the beautiful ocean and suddenly slipped over a chunk of really cold ice. That’s strange she say’s, getting up Anna saw ice crashing onto the deck. She got up as fast as she could and ran back to the hall, everyone looks at her and one man told Anna to walk in the hallway please. 

A few moments later she headed back to the deck, as she walks down she smelt the sea water coming from the hall she went to peek her head out and all of a sudden she could see water splashing through the doors. Sprinting away Anna heads back to the deck to keep safe. Well just saying Anna was a bit wrong the deck was covered in ice. Looking down at her cold feet a man named Hugo Graham speedy quick grabs Anna and tosses  her into a lifeboat. Sitting there frozen she could hardly move her fingers. Her lips start  turning into a light shade of blue and purple. Sitting on the liferaft she see’s all the passengers screaming and arguing people pushing and jumping. One man jumped off but he didn’t make it for very long.

When she looked up she could  see the bow was gone but the stern facing up it was like a really high mountain sinking. A few minutes had past when only 2 lifeboats went to look  for people who were still moving and alive. Luckily they were able to find a couple of people but it wasn’t enough. Crash!!! she hears a very big cracking sound it was coming all the way from the ship, Anna looked over and see the Titanic snapping in half from all the engines and boilers making the stern of the ship heavy CRASH!!! there it goes the Titanic was gone.

Did you know that some people stayed on the ship because they got told the ship was unsinkable before the big crash happened they thought it still wouldn’t sink even  though they had hit an iceberg so they were definitely going down with that ship.

I'm on the Titanic

Tonight is my 2nd journey on the Titanic. The biggest ship of all time.  While laying on my bed I hear a big crashing sound on the right side of the ship. The crash was so  huge  it  moved my bed with me on it, getting  out of bed I suddenly walk into a puddle  on the brown wooden floor, as the water gets higher I stand there shivering  with fear running down my spine. I run out the door and hear screams of terror down the hall now this started to really give me the creeps.


Sprinting down the walkway  I ask the man who was offering free blankets and pillows and asked him what was  going on, He replies “it seems that Titanic has hit an iceberg now every ones going crazy” I run back to my room  but I couldn't get in because  I was

trapped my room was filled with ice cold water, it was so cold that my bed turned into ice I was starting to get really scared. 12:20 am the Titanic started tilting forwards and everyone started running in fear. I ran as quick as I could to find an empty life boat but it was too late the last life boat just left when I had arrived to the deck. I yell out HELP!!  I grab a firework and light it up to call for help but there was no time.


My life was over I was dead I thought I knew this day was coming. When the boat tipped over I held onto the handles of the deck but the water pushes me away, and this is when I knew I was dead. Luckily I spotted an empty life boat floating away, I swam as fast as I could to get that life boat but I only had 30 seconds life left so what was the point.

The little old ghost

As I walk down the foot path I shiver in the cold dark street no one to be seen nothing to be heard just my shadow reflecting on the concrete foot path, I flick up my hoodie onto my freezing cold head with only my dark brown hair covering it. Looking down at my bright pink shoes I hear a strange sound coming from the big forested bush. I stand still with fear running down my spine, as I look carefully I see eyes staring directly at me, when I realize it was just a big fat possum. 

Jogging back home I can feel the stitch coming through my stomach,the pain spreads all over my body. My hands freeze as I jog through the dark deep forest where all the birds are singing their little voices proudly. I run only hearing the birds singing and the crunches of the leaves and bark when I run on them. I see a cabin close to home so I went to check it out. 


when I got there I pulled the door but it was locked, looking  past the gate I spot the open window. I run and smell something like a cherry pie hmmm I say. Climbing in the window I heard footsteps I quickly hide inside the kitchen cupboard. Peeking through the little hole in the cupboard I see an old lady humming a familiar song, wait this was the song my mother used to sing to me when I was a little girl, when I went to look at her face she had vanished away it's like she had to go somewhere. I tiptoe out of the cupboard and peek down the hall where could she be I thought quietly walking to the rooms she was gone, that's when I thought about it a bit smarter "oh no" I say is she a ghost I thought. 

Oh no!! I can hear her humming that when I knew I was in deep deep TROUBLE!!!!

Find your answers from the below websites:

Insert your information notes below:

Question 1 information:
Did you know that the Titanic weighed 46,000 tons  when it was completed, but when there were fresh fruit, fresh meat, passengers  and other stuff on board it weighed 52,310 tons.
The length of the Titanic was 882 feet long, The Titanics height was 175 feet high
and the Titanics width was 92 meters wide.


Question 2 information:
As she was gliding through the night a humungous iceberg collides through the ship making big large holes on the side of the Titanic making the ocean water enter the ship. As the water enters the ship making it heavy on the front of the Titanic which is called a bow and a stern is the back of the boat. The bow of the ship tilts through the water leaving only the stern facing up. As the stern faces up the engines and the boilers makes the back of the Titanic heavy,and there it goes the Titanic is gone it breaks in half.Titanic goes down but the Titanic didn’t fully break so that meant the bow took the stern down with it, and thats how the Titanic sank.





Question 3 information:
The Titanic took 3 years to build because they would of have to put all the compartments on and build all the rooms for 3,500 passengers and crew. There were only 3,000 workers so they would of had to get up really early to get it finished. On the Titanic’s hull they used 3 million 2 pound rivets. The Titanic’s rudder weighed 20 tons and each anchor weighed 15 tons. The Titanic had 29 boilers and burned more than 650 tons of coal everyday.



Question 4 information:
The crew first noticed Titanic was heading towards an huge iceberg, the crew shouted out to Captain Smith “Iceberg Iceberg” he turned and turned but it was too late they just knew once Titanic hit that iceberg it was doomed. When the Titanic hit the iceberg there were passengers sleeping because there it was 11:40pm when it happened. It took 2 hours or longer when the Titanic actually went inside the ocean.


Question 5 information:
At that same time there was another boat really close to the Titanic. The other boat that was close was coming to rescue the passengers on the ship. They woke the captain up and told him what happened. The captain would’ve been really  shocked once he heard the word iceberg.  



Question 6 information:

On the ship there were  75,000 pounds of fresh meat including 9,500 pounds of ham,bacon and sausage. There were also 16,850 bottles of wine, 130,000 pieces  of cookware, cutlery and glassware, and obviously approximately 2,200 passengers on board
