Term 1 highlights

Term 1 highlights

This year one of the things the we were learnt was to have the ability to right PMI’S, it was a bit challenging but I enjoyed the typing, PMP is having a title such as it’s better if everything was free and you would think of good things about the subject and then think of bad things to Wright.
We also learnt about Geometry about learning measuring Angles, how to use a protractor, Volume, area, and parameter, I liked learning how to measure Angles and everything else but I especially liked learning how to use a protractor.
And we learnt about the body as well we learnt the names of the bones like the Femur, Fibular, Pelvis, Ulna, spinal column, Cranium, Clavicle, Radios, Fibula, Tibia, and Phalanges we learnt about the muscles in the body as well.
Every single year we go to beach ED and we go through the same routine every single year so beach ED is getting quit boring and I don’t enjoy it much as I used to 2 years a go, all we do is go inside listen to the instructors interdiction then they take us for a tour around the surf life saving stuff and tell us the names of the things that they show us then they show us the same video that they show us every year then we play sea weed and then we all go for a free swim in the sea witch is about the only thing that is fun to do.
I reckon that Art is quit fun it’s one of my favourite activity at school Physical Education is my favourite activity I liked doing the portraits of yourselves mine turned out really good we used colure pencil to do the colour of our faces and I used black for my background other people said it rewind my portrait but I liked it and thought that it looked like I wanted it to look like when I was finished and now we have to put all of our pictures on the wall so people that come to our school can see what we have done.
I enjoy athletics a lot so I am in the Eltham athletic club and I go to athletics on Saturday for a Saturday sport in the summer when I went to the athletics at Toko School the first event we did was discuss and I didn’t get anywhere in that event and I didn’t get anywhere in shot put either but then I got 4 first and one third, also at school e do athletics for Physical Education some times.
For reading we do typing practise on tux typing and we have to read a novel for about thirty five minutes and then we write a story for our blogs I enjoy reading I bit as well.
I really enjoy tennis as well last year I asked mum if I could join a tennis team and she said that I could so this year I joined the Douglas tennis team and we were put in the B grade and we beat every team in the B grade by quit a bit accept Kaimata we didn’t beet them by much so us and Kaimata got moved up to the A grade and it is a bigger challenge for us.

IN THE BIG HOLIDAYS

In the big holidays we were going to go to lake Taupo, when we where packing I asked mum if I could bring my PSP and she said I could so I packed my PSP into my bag we loaded every thing into the car and we were on our why to Taupo I had the map and was telling dad what roads to go on. When we were half way there dad stopped and showed us were he went to dog trials once and he showed us were all the events were being held on the day. When we got to Taupo we went and found were we were going to stay soon we were in our motel that we booked for we unpacked everything out of the car put we turned the TV on and watched some tennis.


After the game of tennis was finished me and Rhys went up to were you check in to the motel and we paid twenty dollars to hire the tennis courts down the bottom of the top ten holiday park so the lady gave us the keys to unlock the gate to get into the tennis courts, at first me and Rhys were playing by our selves but then mum and dad came down after about half an hour.

After playing tennis for an hour we went for a drive down to the supermarket and got some food and supplies then we drove past the bungee jumping area and dad said that one day we would go watch some people jump off over the Waikato River. When we got back to our motel I got my PSP out of the car and started to play smash court tennis 3.

The next day I got up and turned the TV on and watched Disney channel. When Rhys woke up I was playing PSP and he asked if he could have a turn on it so I gave it to him, after the battery went flat we put it on the charger and we went to have a look at the people doing the bungee jump over the Waikato river were you pay for a jump there was a video of people doing the bungee jump then we left to go to the sports centre to go in the go for a swim in the heated swimming pool inside it. When we were back at the motel me and Rhys went over to this big trampoline there its like a big rubber shaped pillow that is rubber.

On day 4 we went into town and went to a place called rapids jets, it’s a place were you can get to go in the get boat and you go through heaps of big rapids in the Waikato river, in one part of the ride we went though such a big rapid that we did a big jump when we were going over it was so much fun and at the end we were all soaked and we had to change cloths.

On day 5 we were at a cafĂ© and on our way back to the motel we saw some people parasailing over Lake Taupo we stopped and watched people parasailing for quit a while then mum and dad decided for us to have a go as well so the people in charge of it took us out on the water, me and mum were the first ones to go up first(dad couldn’t go up because it would cost to muck for all of us to go up)it was a big trill when you are up there it feels like you are flying by your self and we took heaps of pictures of us in the ear and we also bought a photo album of us in the ear because the people that were in charge were on the boat taking pictures of us. And then on day 7 we packed everything and went back home.

IT'S BETTER LIVING IN THE COUNTRY

I believe living in the country is better for fitness, me, parents and grandparents. And I am going to tell you why and you will agree after you here this.

The country is better for fitness because there are heaps of hills to climb and you have to walk a long way to move stock. Me and Rhys ride our bikes down to the new wool shed a lot because we have a proper table tennis table down there in the shed. Also we go possum trapping in bush that is sometimes 2 or 3 kilometres away from home and we have to bike on the road up hill to go and check our 10 possum traps and we pluck then for possum fur and we sell it when we have 2 or 3 kilograms. And for cross country I just run around the field and up and down the hill a couple of times.

The country is better for me because I can build your own huts on the farm and it’s better because you can have more fun on the farm with your friends because there is more stuff to do. Also instead of swimming in the swimming pool in town we can swim in the river just below our house. You get to have a lot more pets than you do in town because there’s more room for sheep, calves, eels and dogs. I get to have pet eels because we have a pond and a river by my house and some nights I go down to the pond and feed the eels some cold raw meat and one of the eels is so friendly that it comes up to you and you can stroke it with out worrying about him biting you. Sometimes I can lift nearly his whole body out of the water. I have a dog could Pride and she’s a heading dog one day I want her to grow up to be a dog that I will take to the dog trials and beat some other adult contestants.

Our parents sometimes get petrol delivered to them by a big petrol truck, and you can work with heaps of animals as your job. Dad likes it in the country because he gets to work with his dogs. Also we get meat cheaper here than in town at the shops. Mum and Dad like bringing me and Rhys up where there are no gangsters and no bad people. Also they like not having noisy people next door like some people that live in the city. There’s not as much pollution here than there is in town.

Also our grandparents can come out and give their dogs some practise with some sheep on our hills to train their dogs for dog trials. My grandparents like coming to the country because they like the fresh air as well. Granddad Joe likes animals to and so does Granddad Brian. And Granddad Brian and Granddad Joe like helping dad on the farm.

I hope now you understand why it’s better in the country now I have talked to you about, fitness, why it’s better for me, our parents and our grandparents

Ten year olds should be allowed to drive

Why 10 year olds should be allowed to drive


Police would have to deal with heaps of car crashes, because a lot of ten year olds would not know how to drive so they will run into each other.


Also parents would have trouble coping with the death of their children.


Hospitals would have to find a lot more doctors and nurses because there would be a lot more patients to deal with.


Car shops would probably run out of cars because heaps of kids would want a car.


Also if I was allowed to drive it would be a high risk of me crashing into something because even if I was a really good driver someone that’s not a good driver could come round the corner and crash into me and cause series injury or death.
