Today we did a quick write about Bungy Jumping Here is my story:

As I looked over the edge of the bridge I told myself 'I can't believe I'm actually Bungy Jumping. Nek Minnit. I walked over to the guy putting the equipment on people that are Bungy Jumping, Putting the equipment on took like 5 minutes. Next thing I know that the Guy behind me yelled 3,2,1 BUNGY. I screamed AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! The boat came over to get me, I looked up everyone on the viewing platform was laughing probably because I was screaming all the way down until I hit the water, WAIT im still screaming now. When I walked up to the building I came across a Black and White stray dog that was soaking wet. Next thing I know I have my bungy jumping video and have already watched it five billion times.

Thanks for reading my Bungy Jumping story.

Hello, Today we went to the library and I got out 3 Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine. At the library we also did our class meeting and Ronan and I were class reps. In the staffroom we heard what has been going on in the other classes in the school.

Here is my flag

My flag represents NZ by the southern cross being seen in the night sky in NZ. The kiwi by being the national bird of NZ. The korus represents the Maori people and a maori symbol. The blue represents NZ being an island country.

**24th August:**

Hey, This week we have been doing:

Maths: Adding Decimals. e.g. 45.2+=67.6. 1st you add 0.8 to make 46. 2nd you add 21 to get to 67. 3rd you add 0.6 to get the answer. Then add what you added to make the answer to go in the blank space.so 45.2 + 22.4= 67.6.

P.E. Creative dance to Michael Jackson's smooth criminal.

Here is my kkn article:

= A tiny Pacific island paradise has been left shaken by its first bank burglary. = The residents of Aitutaki, a peaceful tourist escape in the Cook Islands, are about $200,000 poorer after the brazen criminal struck their tiny bank.Only 1800 people live on the island, which is famed for its palm-fringed beaches - and for having the most churches per head of population in the world. Petty crime is not unknown, but the bank burglary has baffled police and left locals praying that the person who committed it is not one of their own. Police Commissioner Maara Tetava said a large amount of money was stolen, but would not confirm the bank was secured only by a single padlock. The branch and two other banks had increased security since last week's crime, he said. Mary Tini, 73, has lived on Aitutaki for most of her life, and said the crime had upset residents. Many preferred to think an outsider, rather than a local, was responsible.

Oh yeah didn't I tell you I won that competition(so did Hannah) that Mr Kemp put on the home page. Anyway while Mr K is in South East Asia we have Mrs G (an awesome teacher) who taught us transformations and a lot about Germany. Also with Mrs G we had a soccer tournament and my team came last (booo) and guess what i scored a goal how cool is that. The last 2 weeks we haven't been doing kiwi kids news and that really sucks.

Here is a news article from Kiwi Kids News: A dog called Yoda reaches out for her victory trophy after winning the 2011 World's Ugliest Dog Contest in Petaluma, California. The 14-year-old Chinese crested-chihuahua cross took home US$1000 ($1200) and a pile of pet perks.

Sunday 22nd May

Today i was searching the kiwi kids news site and found this:

TWO NEW SPECIES OF FISH FOUND IN NZ!!!!! Two new aquatic species have been discovered at the halfway mark of New Zealand's largest ever scientific expedition to the Kermadec Islands. A 13-strong team of scientists have been assessing fish, animal and plant species since departing on the Kermadecs Biodiscovery expedition on May 9.They today announced they had found a pipe fish and a small left eye flounder which are likely to be new to science.Auckland Museum marine curator Dr Tom Trnski said the pipe fish - which looks like a straightened out seahorse - was a particularly exciting discovery."We suspect the flounder doesn't grow very big as the largest one we have collected is just 10 centimetres long, but it's a pretty wee thing."Probably the most exciting find is the pipe fish - again it's small, just 10 centimetres long, and a white body with striking orange spots. Pipe fish are related to sea horses, and are really just like a sea horse that has been straightened out."Other species, including a shark, a zebra lionfish, a tropical banded eel, a blackspot sergeant and a tropical goatfish, were also thought to be new to New Zealand records.Dr Trnski said final confirmation of those species records won't be made until after the expedition returns in 10 days.Department of Conservation botanist Dr Peter de Lange said previously undiscovered plants had also been found.His team had uncovered three species of ferns thought to be new to records for the Kermadecs, he said.DOC Entomologist Warren Chinn said he is also waiting for moths, bugs and flies he has collected to be identified.Scientists expedition has been focusing their attention around Raoul Island, and the small islands nearby, at the northern end of the Kermadecs.They will now move south to Macauley Island, where they'll carry out surveys around the four southern islands in the island chain over the next eight days. Thursday 19th May

Thursday 5th May Today we played dodgeball girls vs boys and the 1st game it was a tie like always. After morning tea we did some suspense writing. After Lunch we did some activitys to do with our inquiry. This afternoon i found some interesting news on the kiwi kids news site it is about 226 tornadoes in 24 hours. Here it is:

Preliminary government estimates say there were more tornadoes in a single day last week than any other day in US history.

Government analysts say there were 312 tornadoes during last week's outbreak, including a record-setting 226 in one day. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the largest previous number on record in one event occurred from April 3-4, 1974, with 148 tornadoes. NOAA says 334 people were killed during the 24-hour-period from 8:00 a.m. Wednesday to Thursday. More people were killed by tornadoes in the two-day period since April 5-6, 1936, when 454 people were killed, mostly in Tupelo, Mississippi, and Gainesville, Georgia, according to NOAA. And it was the deadliest single day for tornadoes since the March 18, 1925, tornado outbreak that had 747 fatalities across 7 states.

2 days ago it was the start of term 2(AAAAAAHHHHH). On Monday we played Miniball and it was fun because we played different teams also 'cause we only had two rules as many players as you want on at a time and the boundaries.

For maths we are doing Multiplication and division and i am in a stage 7 group of only 4 people like Hannah, Harrison, Ryan and Me. Yesterday we played miniball again and that was really fun because we added rules like you have to dribble and no fouling.Then we did handwriting the letter was Yy. then Reading and Writing. After Lunch we read a book called Small Steps which is by Louis Sachar and it is about Armpit who sets himself some Small Steps. Then we did some tuning in activitys for inquiry.

Tuesday 15th March

Last Wednesday the Year 6's went on Camp to Waiora. At Camp we did four activities which were Pikelets, Spilly Billy, Caterpiller Skis and Earthball and Stack the Boxes. We had these activity groups that we did activitys with. In my activity group was Lynley, Kacey, Ewan, Liam, Kirsty, Leon, Mitchell and Me. Before we did any activitys we had to make a flag with our team name and our names and a picture. My Groups name was Camp Green Lake and it is named after a camp in a book we are reading in class. After that we went and did the Confidence Course which involved a balancing beam, these poles that you had to walk over, a see-saw, a wobbly bridge, a x that we had to cross, the tightrope, the tyres, climbing wall, ladder another tightrope pole, tunnel, climbing wall. That night we had a quiz and there was five rounds, four rounds were general questions and the other round was music (Do you know who was good at that round?Me) and in the end the Parents (Waiora Winners) won the quiz but coming in second very close behind was My team Camp Green Lake!!!We Also got an award for the most creative chant!!! After that we went on a night walk that was freaky because it was very dark and it was hard to see. When we went on the night walk we saw glow worms!! The next day we played Capture the Flag, like always my team came second. After that we did the waterslide it was so fun!!! After we did the waterslide we did our camp diaries then did Warm Fuzzies which was the reflection part of camp.When we got back to school it didn't take long to unpack the stuff. The next day I found out I had an interview for Interface Magazine for my Earthquake Wikispace (the wiki link above) I asked the other two organizers to help me with it aswell, the other two organizers are Hannah and Andrew. Also that day we had Mrs Mckever teaching us. On Monday we played Kooshball with Mrs Mckever it was fun. Today we had Miss Baxter and played on the iPads. We also did art which was koru patterns and pasteling the white gaps in. we also did Explanation writing (which was boring like always) of our Gigantic Hen Feeder!!

Tuesday 8th March 2011

Today at school we did lots of fun stuff like our bike course and meeting up with the year 6's from room 2 and talking about camp. For our bike course we had to do a zig-zag through half of tennis balls set up in a straight line, do a sharp turn, keep balanced and straight on this small narrow path, another sharp turn, going over a bump, then going over this awesome ramp that was so awesome, then round the cone to the finish to finish the course which was so cool. At the end we got 5 minutes riding around the school and like going up the hill to the top field, then rode back down the hill which was freaky because i nearly rode into Michael when he was coming up the hill. Then I rode down next to the playground and went through this ramp that goes to the bottom gate and then I went up the hill from then. For the rest of the day we did lots of boring stuff apart from playing the game that the P.A.L.S(physical activity leaders) learnt at their training day on Monday 7th March and another thing that wasn't boring was meeting up with the year 6's and talking about camp. For camp tomorrow we are hoping to leave about 9:00am and arriving at Waiora at about 9:30-9:40! We also found out who we are travelling with and i am travelling with Hannah, Georgia and Kirsty. After school I had to do road patrol and when I was doing that I asked Mr Kemp if I coud bring my Sarcasm to camp and he said yes!

Wednesday 2nd March 2011

Today a couple of Firefighters and a Fire Engine came to our school to talk about Fire Safety because we are learning about safety. When we were talking about how to be Firewise the Juniors(Rooms 4,5,6&7) used the fire hose and got the whole court wet! It sounded like fun because they were all screaming and shouting when they had a go at controlling the hose! Also today we had Constable Rei come in and talk to us about road safety and how we can be safe when riding our bike on the road because we are old enough to ride on the road. For handwriting we did the letter h and Harrison was the Handwriting tutor for today.Also today we had the Laptops and iPads in our class and we updated the Wiki and played games on the iPads.
