Fantastic start to 2012


We’ve had a spectacular start to the year.
We’ve had loads of awesome things to do 
for the past four days. Once we got in to 
the class we had an adventure so we could 
find everything. We all joined the wacky 
wiki. We did the scavenger hunt and 
found where everything was in the class 
room. On day 1 Mrs K brought a pillow 
and we did some feather throwing. It was 
extreme fun! It also gave us a message 
about when you say something mean 
you can never get your words back 
which was a really good reminderIt 
was really good seeing our friends again 
and catching up and seeing what they 
were doing and where they have been!

Being a presenter - at ted2012

Today we went to TED day and I was a 

presenter.  It was really fun. I did big huge labs. 

I did it with Zara. Doing it was really fun and you 

got to help and guide your group on the site, it 

was just like being a teacher. They had net

 books so everyone had a computer but there

partners to share the computers. It was a really 

good thing to do because you got to learn 

different things like sketch up, dinolites and

 prezi. I never knew that there was even such 

thing but now I do so it was a great day, and all

of the presenters did really well. I really hope I 

could do it again and be a presenter and do 

something different. When I was a presenter I 

felt really confident in myself and I thought that I 

did well in helping and explaining what it was

 and what you could do with the site and just 

making really creative fun things.  I hope I could 

attend again.


And a big thank you to Mrs Mac.



Metallica


She likes to eat pizza, earth rice and moon pebbles. Her hobbies are collecting rocks and being fabulous. She likes to play space sports - Venus Volley ball, Neptune Netball, Stature Soccer. She is made of Bean cans Metal Springs.

Melltallica 1


Metallica comes from a long lost planet in space but noone knows what that planet is called or where it is. She likes to eat pizza, earth rice and moon pebbles. Her hobbies are collecting rocks and being fabulous. She likes to play space sports - Venus Volley ball, Neptune Netball, Stature Soccer. She has lots of different body parts and very strange to be exact.

I hope that if this story get out the they will be thrilled that they have found a new planet.

P.S I don't think that Metallica will be too happy with me, so let's keep it on the down low...

Golf with Melanie

Today we went over to the rec and did some golf. It was really fun. I enjoyed it. You first put your left hand on the club then your right; pull your feet in to second and hit the ball and if it is heading towards someone you scream fore. I had lots of fun. I learned lots about it and hope to take it to the next level. When it was my turn I got ready and I hit it but did not really hit it, and I missed and it went to the ground.

Another Day to Explore

he Amazement


On Monday I walked in the class and a pile of bean bags were in the middle of the floor. There was a new round table it was black and the mountain was on the other side of the room. The couch got moved to the door.  The only new thing that did not get moved was the cave, that stayed were it was. There is 11 bean bags. It was a shock that there was so many of them.  It was really cool. At the computers there are gym balls.  They are really cool.


Taieri Gorge Train


On Tuesday we went on the Taieri Gorge Train and it went to Pukerangi and from Dunedin. It was four hours all together because it was two hours there and two hours back. When you were on the train you got a good view of all of the big mountains and the old bridges, but the bad thing was that the food stall was on the other side of the train so you have to walk through all the other cabins and walk through people talking and kids playing. You were wrecked by the time that you got back. We stopped a few times to take pictures and look at all of the nature that was around us. I found that it was a very educational ride because there was a guy telling us about history and why things are called that. The guy told us that Mosgiel is the most growing town in New Zealand.  You have to hold on the bars and walk backwards because a lady was walking down forward she tripped and fell onto the gravel and had to be rushed in to hospital.There is a hill called one tree hill because it only has one tree on it and it is on right on the top of the hill.



...Looking Behind Me I saw...



Outside my window, a tree, aching, just wanting to lie down. It looks like it’s going to collapse on the roof of my house. Should I go tell someone or just leave it to do its own thing? As I fall back to sleep I can hear it weeping. I never thought trees, big straight pointy things, would ever get tired of always standing up, that's what they’re supposed to do. I waken the next day, rush to the window, has anything changed but still no. I'm glad because I didn’t want to die in the middle of the night.

a Girlie weekend


My dad was going on a fishing trip with his mates from the round table for the weekend. Mum and I decided to have a Girlie weekend.
On Thursday and Friday we had takeaways like pizza and Chinese food, Yummy!
I had a sleep in on Saturday.  We were going to go out to Blend or Blackstone for breakfast. I really wanted to have pancakes. I also had to make it to my friend Sam's birthday. After that we went to our friend Lil's house and we brought some Ice cream to have there. I was looking at the ice-creams and the name candy floss caught my eye, I had to get that!!!
Sunday Morning I got up in excitement because I was going to get a pedicure from the Professional Nails Salon in the Meridian.
First I got to pick a color. I picked pink. Then I put my feet in the foot spa. It was nice and warm.

My Grandparent are important because...


My Grandparents are important because they

teach us what to do and what not to do. You 

can talk to them about anything. The time 

that you have to spend with them is endless. 

They can spoil you with nice treats and 

lollies. Our family has celebrations with the 

grandparents like birthdays and Christmas 

dinner. I really miss the moments the we had 

together, those moments were special in my 

heart. That’s why you’re so special to me. 

You make me feel safe and I love when you 

tell me stories about mum and my sippy cup.

 That why I love them so much.   

Ciara's PLN


I have shared this with you to show how I learn and work in a personal environment.
I learn on the net with people and with lots of other things. Here are different ways I learn!

Karaoke Night


On Saturday I went Ice-skating with my friend Liv. I fell on my butt and slipped and did middle splits in my pink skinny jeans! There were Russian Olympian trainers there.  My friend gets trained by them. I learnt how to do a triple spin. After that I went to a karaoke night that our friend Sue was hosting. There were people there from Canterbury for a dart competition. My mum got up and sang New York, New York. I was tempted to go up and sing blue suede shoes but  there where a lot of people there. The machine broke down two times! That did not stop anyone. I had a great time and would definitely go again.


Last Chocolate Cadburys Ever mad


Dad came home in a rush to tell us bad 

news. He came in the door and 

explained that because he got promoted

 in his job at Cadburys he got the last 

piece of chocolate ever made from 

CadburysL.  We’re so devastated that it 

had happened but glad the Richard’s 

family got the last piece on earth. Now it 

was the hard part we had to decide who 

gets the little piece or cut into five small

pieces. We decided to cut but not 

everyone is home so I try sneak it in my 

mouth so no-one suspects me.

When I Thought?


Sunday night, I love Sunday night I’m having friends over and watching a chick flick! I collect popcorn and lots of a girls best friend!!! Chocolate. Kim asked me what movie are we watching, Legally Blonde. We’re driving home out of the side of my eye I see the new Zac Efron movie. OMG, we run in the shop, There sold out, Legally blond will just have to do. We are watching the movie and decide to get our pjs. We come back in to see all of our chocolate is gone except one  piece of chocolate, no dogs anywhere!!

School Move


On Friday the last week of the holidays the school moved on a big truck to the Rec. beside the church. Two classes have moved in to room 8 and the library. They blocked off where room three ends.  It looks weird. There is a fence where they moved it so no-one can get across. We have gotten used to it being there. Before we moved the whole school joined in on a book that every class signed. I can wait until they build the next half.


Fun of all Fairs






On Sunday morning I went to Balclutha for my Gym Competition. I came 1st for floor and 2nd for valet. Then we headed for home and  I went to the fair. I was so hot in my tracksuit but that didn’t stop me from having lots of fun. 


At the fair there was a triage tent so I scampered over. Georgia, Zara, Mia and I got big scar on my face and a bruise on my other eye. They all looked so real.  They really did do a good job. It was like I came back from Afghanistan.


Georgia, Zara and I went on the Caterpillar we got to explore a different world in there. There a mountain object when you first go in of course I fell down it, typical! 

The day the All Blacks came to town



On Tuesday we went to Peter Johnstone park to meet  four of the All Blacks. They were Ben franks, Ben Smith, Andrew Hore and Tamiti Ellison. When we got there we had to wait ten minutes because they were having a manly cup of tea. First they said something about themselves then they went off to their tables and big lines were formed.

The first line I  went in to was Andrew Hore. I asked if I could have a hug from Ben Smith and Tamiti  Ellison. I knuckles from Ben Smith. There was a guy there that said we were only allowed one autograph, but I think every one there got four. I had a great time there.  It was getting to see them in real life because I've only seen them on T.V. 

The Big, The Great Valerie Adams



Room 6 went to go see Valerie Adams in the Warehouse on Wednesday. We made a book with all our stories from the groups about the gold medal. Valerie is very tall, she towers over even the tall people in our class.She brought the gold medal for people to hold. She was there for a book signing. The book is all about her. She was only here for fifteen minutes. We got her signature on her book and we They gave us the poster form the warehouse that said see was coming for her book signing. Mrs K brought in a magazine with her on it. As we were getting ready to leave we had a vote to see if anyone would want to stay and watch her leave and we did stay. When we were walking home we saw her drive past.

room 7 camp Assembly



On the last day of term we went to room 7 camp assembly. Fist they started off with two boys acting out a play called goodnight.
Well in a way it was not the boys. Someone else’s hands were behind there back. They showed us lots of photos and videos.  They also did a play called Mrs Brown’s boys.  It is a really funny T.V show.  It was really funny to watch.

Court time with Mrs F








On Friday Mrs K had some time with her word whizz group. We had prayers and then we marked our maths mate. After we did that we got to act out Valerie Adams in court with the Russian cheat. There were two lawyers and the trainers and the witnesses. It was really fun and of course Ospachuck was not able to play in the next Olympic Games but in 8 years time and she was guiltily. I would like to do something like that again.




Bottle Bivy Re Re Re build

As the Ulrich Aliminium Ute pulled up I was so excited to get started on the new and improved bivy. It all started out when the bottle bivy fell down so we got a sponsor; the sponsor was Zack’s dad Corey. When he came, I thought they would not fit in the door way because they were so big like seriously Mrs. K could fit in them with standing up.  There were eight pieces and he also bought us very sticky double sided tape. As we all started we got the hang of it and we got a lot done compared to what we could finish in a day of gluing it. We got half of it done in like an hour and a half which is pretty good. I can not wait until we finish it and can start learning in it, YAY.


Stary



I am alone and frightened, my owner has abandoned me at a rubbish disposal site. I hear just flowing traffic, horns beeping. I have no food. How am I supposed to live around here? I am starving. I am going to look for some food.  I am walking across the road not caring what will happen to me because I am unwanted. My fur is scruffy. I’m so dirty. Who knows what is roaming around on my skin right now? I am hoping that someone will see me and will recognize that I am trembling in the cold and freezing weather.

Finally there is something ahead, I see lights flashing. They are kids. They come over to me. I don’t know what to do. I’m scared; they run off and come back with a box. They try to get me in the box, so I get in. I hear lots of voices saying “what’s in the box?’’

A few days later…
I am in some sort of car.  We pull up and I get out. I see a yard with lots of dogs. I don’t think is going to end well… Some of the dogs have jackets on. It’s kind of like they’re training. I look down and I have a collar and it says “Jude’’. All of that work of being a stray was worth it. Now I have a loving family. I can also help other dogs that are a stray.

Confessions of a Broccoli lover

Dear Diary, I've started keeping a diary because nobody understands me.
I love, I mean I absolutely love, Broccoli! I could eat it everyday but mom
won't let me. Its my Favourite late night snack. All my friends think I'm weird
I think my love of Broccoli started back when...

I hated veges, They were just absolutely disgusting. So they my mother said " Well darling you have to eat your broccoli (back then i hated them) then that moment changed my life forever. I put it in my mouth and actually liked it ,I was flabbergasted...
And that is why kids you should aways eat your veges and one day you might be surprised.

A Visit from Belind



Today in class we had a special guest come in to talk to us from St John. First she talked about bleeding noses and what we should do. Aaliyah was the chosen volunteer and Belinda dabbed some fake blood around her nose. She said to lean your head forward and hold the soft part of your nose for 10-20 minutes and if your nose bleeds for longer than 20 minutes you need to go to the doctor and get it checked. After a nose bleed don't pick, poke, blow or sniff.
Next we did bee stings. You have to scrape the bee sting out carefully so that you don't squeeze the poison into yourself.
Then we focused on slings, Zara was the demonstrator to show us how to tie a sling on someone. After we got to see how to tie them we got to do it on each other.
Then we learnt about grazes and when they start to bleed and when they do how to clean it and put a plaster on. You cannot dab and wipe you have to be careful and make sure that you get all of the stones, dirt, grass and other things that cause infection. Thomas was the volunteer for grazes. Thomas had to think of something that he had done to have caused the bleeding.
Ciara was the last one to show that you need to wear a helmet on a skateboard and a bike and a scooter or you can get very hurt. Ciara had to pretend she had fallen off a skateboard and broke her arm and she had a big scratch on her arm and it was bleedings and we learnt to never move some one even if she was on the road because you can get the cars to go round the person.
At the end of the session we had to get a partner to pretend that we fall off the skateboard and needed to check if there was any blood on the person. 

Rep Trials


On Saturday four girls from Room 6 went to Rep Trials and tried out for the Otago rep team. We had to be there by 3:00 and it ended a 4:00. It was held at the Edgar Center. 
Our mums and dads told us to try really hard at everything and be the best we can. Anahera and Ciara both got in the call backs and they decided to let all the girls who got in the call backs be in a rep team. The teams were 6A and 6B and Anahera and Ciara got in to the 6B team. We are the only year six’s from St Mary’s and we also get to go to Balclutha, Alexandra, Winton and Dunedin.

My life as a glercan


Hi my name is Seamus and I am a glercan I had the worst day ever a bunch of red english leprocons came and destroyed my house. I live in a tree house. I love to eat rainbow dust and gercans. In my spare time I like to go and collect gold coins and chase squrils. This is a fact that is possibly true that I am more lucky that a shamrock. My friends are Annie, Santana, Dainty and Jenny most of them are bigger than me except Santana she is a giuinae pig. But on the bright side annie is taking me for a ride around town she is picking me up at the top of my house, How exciting. My school by the way is called st patricks villa. I like to hang out in the woods with my friends in the woods and well we are not really allowed be there because are parents think we might get hurt. Me and santana are going out shopping but i am still thinking about what happend this morring I bet those buliders are drinking coffee and relaxing. Santana came home and we started to collect gold coins there was not that many and i was wondering what had happened to all of them, Those red english leprocons Oh I forgot to tell you about them. well when the english people came to Ireland our country and took some of the leprocons and turned the evil with a red and white potion so know they turn agenst there own country lots of familys were desroed that day. But how Irish people love potatos is a whole other story that I will get in to later but for now we are learning about me.

Making 2012


At Maths time today we got equipment from different boxes and we used maths equipment and made lots of different types of 2012. It was really cool.  We got to use decimal cards and an abacus, we even got to draw it in our maths book and there was loads of different things you could use.  It was a fun activity. After we did it we got to share what we have made. You have to make a least two things. I used the arrow cards and I drew a picture in my book. I expanded so it is bigger. There were lots of different and creative things that people have made it.
