Touch Rugby

Every Thursday we've been having touch lessons with this tutor Trevor for 3 weeks.

For the first 2 weeks he taught us how to plant the ball, make sure to put your hand out before you get touched (so you stay onside) and pass it once you pick it up (after it has been planted). After all that hard, tiring work we played a few passing and running games such as rat & bunny. The last week was mean/cool/amazing/fantastic, because all we done was gather up all our skills and played touch straight through.

It was sad that we had to go because that was the end of the lessons.

It has all the traditional letter, number and function keys but it is usually so you can type emojis faster than searching through hundreds. Emoji keyboards are sold for $120.00 in America.  image from kiwi kids news

The Upside Down House!

It's Saturday morning 6:00 am and instead of sleeping in my dad woke us all up. You might be wondering why, well it's because our house was a huge mess.Anyway, we had this huge mess in our hands to clean so we smacked our hands together and started cleaning up. At 7:00 am we had porridge for breakfast, My siblings and I fell asleep when we finished cleaning.  We woke up to our Koro, (old man/ grand father) mum, and dad shoving their faces with, caramel chocolate, ice-cream and KFC, so I quickly got up and scored me some.The permission details

Shake out drill!

Today at 9:15 am the bell rang 3 times, ring, ring, ring. I remembered that Mr Reid told us that we were going to have a shakeout drill*, so everyone including me and Mr Reid went under our desks. Later my friend Samuel and I played rock paper scissors. Not long after Mr Reid took photos.What a way to start a day, under our desks. *A shakeout drill is an earthquake drill that all NZ schools do.

Venus

The second planet from the sun is Venus, I reckon it is one of the worst planets in our Solar System. It is always covered with clouds full of little drops of acid. It is nearly as large as the earth and the air around it is poisonous. The trapped heat in the clouds make it the hottest planet and to make it worse the surface is covered with lava and volcanoes. The planet is so hot that it would melt zinc and metals (and I thought Mercury was the hottest planet.)

Sausage Sizzle Term!

Yay! We're back to school and this term is going to be AWESOME. Our teacher Mr Reid told us that every Wednesday we might get a notice that says sausage sizzles are for sale. The sausage sizzles are only one dollar and are delicious. I can't wait because i'm going to buy a bunch of them. Well I can't stand talking about sausage sizzles until I get one, so catch you later.

Myron Simpsom

IMG_20150908_094712 (1).jpgYesterday morning everyone went to the multipurpose room for a Duffy meeting with Myron Simpson (a NZ cyclist) to tell us about how reading is important and to show us his equipment. The fastest Myron ever drove his bike was 110 km an hour, and if he gets caught by a police while driving that fast past our school his fine will be $700.


Back when he was around 3 years old his older brothers helped him ride a bike on training wheels then so on. Myron then grew up and entered a Juniors World Champions in Mexico and came second. He said what made it better was that his family were there to watch. Later on he made his own little muesli bar business and called it Myrons’ Muesli.


IMG_20150908_095524 (1).jpgMyron wanted to join the Olympic games team and got a sponsored bike from a club of his. He and his parent helped him make the rest of the aerodynamic equipment for the bike. His uncle also painted his aerodynamic helmet. Later on Myron told us that the sponsored bike cost $15.000 that's more than his car. After we sang the Duffy song sadly we had to go.
