My Marked Paragraph

Well let me begin my story at home. I was sleeping when my mum said to me “ May are you going to stay home because you aren't going to camp” and I said to her “ Mum I thought I was going to camp” and she said “ Oh I forgot to tell you I rang and said you aren't going to camp” I got so angry that I went for a walk and I didn't go to school the whole week. The time I went for a walk I went at like 11.00 and I came back at 12.30 , it was a nice walk but boring so I went home early.

My Weekend Recount

The boringest week of my life! Last week I had the boringest week of my life , it was fun and boring at the same time. The boring bit about it was that I had to do chores at home and the fun bit was that I was spoiled at the same time. I am going to tell you what I did on the first day of my week. Well let me begin my story at home. I was sleeping when my mum said to me “ May are you going to stay home because you aren’t going to camp” and I said to her “ Mum I thought I was going to camp” and she said “ Oh I forgot to tell you I rang and said you aren’t going to camp” I got so angry that I went for a walk and I didn’t go to school the whole week. The time I went for a walk I went at like 11.00 and I came back at 12.30 , it was a nice walk but boring so I went home early.

Being A Good Friend

Being a Good Friend WALT:  explain to your reader what being a good friend means What is being a good friend? I sometimes think in my head that being a good friend can show honesty and also being a role model to your friend can help as well. Sometimes it feels like they are your brother or sister. Being a good friend can help a lot. Being a good friend can have ups and downs but they also come back being friends at the end. When you have ups and downs with your friend it can feel weird at the same time because it feels like you are not being a good friend or even a friend. Ups and downs can ruin your friendship with you best friend. If you lose your best friend cause you had a fight don’t worry they will always come running back for you. “Has your friend ever gave you something”? Well my friend the first present my friend gave to me was when I first started school , her present to me was looking after me when I first started and in my head I know that that is what being a

New fashion for intermediate kids Pt England School May Breaking news the Pt England School year 6’s are moving to the black and red zip up jackets. It is more mature for them. Mrs Flavelle has said “We have the different option, it’s just so you can distinguish the senior children from everybody else”. 98% have brought the jackets. It is nearly about every single kid The kids at Pt England School think that it is a great idea and that it is more mature for them because they are going to be year 7 & 8’s and so they don't have to wear the same jacket,because it will make them look like little kids. The cost of the senior jackets are $55 dollars. It is more expensive than the year 1 to 6 jumpers.

Farming Fish

Image
Hi my name is May and this week we have been reading a book called Farming Fish. It is a really cool book if you read it it explains a boy that had a uncle and his uncle had an idea and it was to make a Farming Fish. They usually go out to sea on their canoes and catch some fish if it is good weather,but when it is bad weather and the sea is really rough to go on they don't have any food to eat,so they wait for the next day. They usually don't go to the shops because they are use to going fishing and at their village there is hardly any shops. The uncle idea was to make a Farming Fish,as I was trying to say his uncle was making another place to go fishing so they can get fish like everyday. Here is a picture of the place close to it. Fish farms are important to the village because that is how they can have food everyday and so they don't have to starve and they can just go and catch some fish if the sea is bad and so they can have their own place to fish.

30 Facts about Paris:) When I started this school me and Paris were in the same class until now and she has been playing with me ever since. I like that she is always there for me and I like that she plays with me and that she makes me laugh when I am sad. The only thing that I don’t like about her is that we always fight and I don’t like that but we get along after the fight and we start laughing and it gets funnier and funnier. I am also sad that Paris is leaving the school on Saturday but I hope that she has a good day at wherever she is going but I am really going to miss her:) I remember when we were both in Miss Ouano class and she had long hair then she came on the next day and she said that she cut her hair and when I looked at it it was shorter. Another moment was when Paris always asks me how to spell a word like she forgot how to spell look and I said to her “You don’t know how to spell look well you spell it like this LOOK” then she said Ohh. There was this other tim

My Titanic Writing

It was 12.00 on April 10, 1912 and that was the day the Unsinkable took off onto the water. While the Titanic was taking off I was in the Kitchen with my friend Percy Snowden and we were drinking a of tea. It was funny because she was telling me how everyone has been saying that the Titanic is unsinkable even I thought that. After talking about the Titanic and how people thought it was Unsinkable I got tired I went into my bedroom and I slept like I was in my home. While I was sleeping a little boy came and woke me up and he said to me “Where is my mummy” and I said to him “lets go and look for your mum.” We went outside and Captain Roger said  “get every women and their children on the lifeboat”  I replied back to him “This little boy has lost his mum and we are trying to find her” he said “The Titanic is about to sink so get all of the mothers and the kids onto the lifeboats before it sinks and tell the men to stay behind and go on  last” then the little boy said to the captain “My

My Titanic Research With Katareina

Here is my research about the Titanic. Questions: What were the dimensions of the Titanic? What was the biggest cause of the sinking of the Titanic? Explain... How many children on that boat died? * How many people went on a lifeboat each? Why did the captain decide to go through the Atlantic? Did people who sleep down by the engine survive? What was and is the price to go on the titanic? Answers: Question 1 information: 882’ 9” Feet long 92” Feet wide Question 2 information: The captain wanted to get to where ever they wanted to go quicker than they said they would so they speed up the titanic and went through the atlantic. The guard people were too slow to see the iceberg they hit it and the water was racing in the boat. Question 3 information: 7% of children and woman died in the 1st class, 19% of children and woman died 2nd class and 53% of children and woman died 3rd class. Question 4 information: So if there were 1,900 passengers on the boat and about half of them surviv

My Nightmare

It was 4.00 in the morning and I woke up and it was still dark,all I heard was birds chirping and inside it was freezing like ice. I was shivering like if I was in Antarctica. The reason I woke up was because I had a nightmare. It was the scariest nightmare I have ever had ! It all began when I went to sleep. I went to sleep last night at 12:00 I was really tired. I was in bed fast asleep when a person popped up in my head while I was sleeping. It was a man. He started off saying “My name is Parker.” Then he started talking to me and I got really scared,I even cried a little. Suddenly Parker’s wife Nancy came crying down the steps and while she was coming down the step she stopped crying and she started singing, 1,2 Parkers coming for you 3,4 better lock your door 5,6 you better play no tricks 7,8 you have to stay up late 9,10 you'll never sleep again. When she sang that song I was hiding under my blanket. When 2 minutes later she went all quiet and then I checked if she was st

Holiday Writing

Holiday Writing On a sunny,sunny day I woke up and I nearly got dressed for school but then I remembered that there was no more school so I went back into bed because I was so tired and then I heard my mum say to me “wake up and tidy up the room” and I replied “but I am so tired” then she came back in the room and she pulled my blanket off and  she told me to stand up or she will make me stand up. After that I was so hungry and I went to the kitchen and ate and ate. Suddenly I heard a sound at the door and it was my cousin at the door. My cousin said do you wanna come with us to the shops and I said “Ok” Then we went shopping and we came back home with this big shopping. After that they stayed for a while and then it got dark and we were really hungry so my cousins took us to the Sky City and we ate at Fall Tuna and it was yummy! P.S What a Holiday!!!

The First Assembly for Term 2

When we got in the hall I thought why were the balloons there but then  I saw all the teachers and they were all dressed up as their subject that they were doing for this term. I was trying to find Mr Burt because I knew that he was going to be dressed up as well, then I found him and he was dressed as a clown, well I thought he was a clown but he wasn't, he was a balloon Man and he did suit it. Then we started seeing performances from Team 1 and you bet it was amazing. Their performance was based on the Zoo.

Year 5 and 6 Camp

Image
You will never believe what I am doing on this very,very sunny day, Well do you wanna know cause I know you do, well on this sunny day we were having the year 5 and 6 Camp for 2014. The most thing I like out of all the activity's that we have done is Kayaking. Kayaking was my favourite because Mr Burt and the Helpers were really nice and they let us have lots of turns then they let us have a swimming time.  The first time me and Paris went into that Kayak it was cold and a little bit dirty but it was awesome at the same time. Then me and Paris finished our turn and we all moved to the free swimming it was a little fun but some of us got hurt by the rocks and the stuff under water and also it was fun at the same time.  This years Camp is really cool because we also get to do a permanences and backing that is why I like it a lot and we sleep in very expensive tents and it is cool for all of us!!! I LOVE THIS CAMP!!!!!

Then they lifted my Uncle one the stole thing that you put them on and people come with the flowers and they put it next to the coffin box. After the service we all stayed to have a feed even the other family members by the way it was a yummmmy feed. After we ate and we were all full and the people had a little chat and the kids
