I can see my mum.

I am with Vanesa Hugdens.

I can hear lava coming out of a volcano.

I can smell pizza.

I am in Australia.

I am swiming.

Stardome

Earlier this week we went to Stardome for a field trip. We travelled there by bus and it
was a bumpy noisy ride. While we were there we decided to go for a walk up One Tree Hill.

There were deep craters and as we got to the top we were exhausted with tiredness. While we were at the top people were taking photos. It was windy and my hat flew of my head but luckily it didn't fly of the hill. When we were done up there we went to one of the craters where we went last time and what we did there last year was still there.

First moon landing

As you first step onto the moon you just might feel butterflies in your stomach. When I walked on the moon I moved in slow motion. It's very hard because you don't walk as fast as on the earth.

When I was waiting to get out of the space craft I was pretty excited. I’m saying “this is my first time” as I keep repeating, I just want to bust my way through the door. Now as I wait for the last minute I finally get to go.

Spectacular NZ

The Rugby World Cup is bringing lots of tourists to New Zealand, but there is more here then just a cup!

The indigenous people are Maori like Maui. New Zealand has many multi-cultural just like Maori, Canadian, Australian all sorts of them.

Only in New Zealand there would be Kiwis,Fantail and Tuatara. Our most native animal is a Kiwi,
they are the most special bird in New Zealand.

So if you a rugby games here to see some of the 48 world cup rugby games, remember to also take time out to inspect more of our stunning country.

Cross Country

Guess what we did on September the 7th on Wednesday? You get to go in to four groups there names are Takitumu,Tainui ,Te Arawa and Mataatua, only four yr1's up to yr6. It is cross country!

Starting off wasn't a good start as other people sprinted. As I started on the grass it was harder for me to run. There was a road of shells which was noisy. There were pukeko’s pecking. I could smell muddy creaks which were smelly and there were tree’s which were reflecting the sea.

As I was running I felt a bit nervous because my brother was going to beat me. As soon as I came down the hill I could feel my brother hammering his feet as he was running and he was getting beaten.

At the end my brother tried to come past me, but the time for my brother was gonna end. I was sprinting as fast as I could in hot pursuit to the finish line. We came a tie. I felt proud with completion.

Mesmerising Australia

It’s only a short hop, skip and a jump across the Tasman Sea to Australia, but there is a world of difference in what you will find there.

In Australia there is a variety of cultures. The indigenous people of Australia were the first people there, they are the Aborigine people.

Australia’s native animal is the Kangaroo. It is a big animal, which can weigh over 100kg, they carry their babies in a pouch and instead of walking they hop.

The climate in Australia is warm and cold. Countries have coastal differences, like Australia because they have deserts.

So if you are fortunate enough to make the journey, you will need to allow plenty of time to explore all that Australia has to offer.

Badminton

On Thursday with Miss M after morning tea we went to badminton with excitement. Our teacher was Donna she was showing us ways to hit because if we didn't you will miss the shuttle. Some of the styles to hit were hard because if you miss you will be out in the game.

After that we had a game of soccer badminton which was really fun because it was a challenge. There was a net we have to hit over. When you hit it over you have to have a strait,direct aim because it can go out.

We had to have fast feet to run as fast as you can if they hit the shuttle at the right and your on the left you will miss the shuttle. Because I did that once and I missed. If you had to hit the shuttle hit it to the right if there on the left side.

Fun with Snow

In the snow people liked to make snow angels. The snow was the perfect thickness to make the snow angels yesterday after the cold polar blast. If it snowed on your lawn would you make snow angels would you?

Life Education Bus

Last week we went to Life Education Bus with Harold. We have been learning about what is the right things to eat. What we were looking at were tasks that Harold told us to do. There were four tasks.

They were difficult because we didn't know the meaning of words like body systems. It was hard for us to figure that out. Only when we saw a video which explained us things like the liver, did I understand.

We learned that the liver sorts out stuff like healthy and unhealthy foods. Because healthy goes in the right path and unhealthy goes through the left tube. Bye the time we finished they gave us books and stickers.

The first rugby ball

The first rugby ball was made from pig’s bladders (a pig’s bladder is a body part that stores urine). It was unhealthy and smelly. People had to blow up pig’s bladders like balloons but now they use stems of a clay pipe.

Some of the people that made the rugby balls didn’t like the fact that rugby balls were made with pig’s bladder. The smell of urine made it hard for people to blow up the rugby balls. If I had to do that I would never do it again.

Now there are new rugby balls made with synthetic materials which are better and soft. More and more people like rugby balls now like me, because I like them when they are made out of rubber.

Term 2-Technolgy Project

Motat Trip

Guess what we did on Thursday? We went to Motat! To make it fair we were all split in o four groups.

I was in group four, my friends weren't in there but I was still lucky because we did fun stuff.
Our adult was Mya's sister, she was nice. It was a bit cool because we got to check out lots of inventions that we needed.

Some were like type writers. But the coolest one I saw there was sort of like a spade, but it was smaller, it was a chopping board. You chop stuff on there then push the sides in with the handle then tip it.

After that we went over to the challenge zone. My favourite thing there is this spinning ride. It goes fast but you have to start off slowly because you might spew. I went a bit fast and felt sick! Luckily I slowed down.

After that ride I went to the earthquake house but you need to push this green button to start and a red button to stop. In the house was a bit bumpy and when I pushed the red button it stopped straight away and then I banged my head. It was time to go back to where we started from to have our lunch.

When lunch was finished it was time to finish off everything were doing. First off we went to the mirror maze with excitement. Once I went there in the inside I walked into the glass it was a bit sore but I still walked out, I went in it five times. After that it was time to go to the tactile dome. Sometimes when I went in there I got lost but you only can choose three people to go with you. I got lost but we had a person that's been then before. After that we got to go back on the bus to go home.

Painting patterns on to cushions

This pattern is my name. It will be going on cushions that
we are making. We had to paint on paper because we had to test it. I don't want to change anything because it looks great. My next step might be getting a vivid and doing the
outline of my work.

Topic is all about these photos of drawings.And creating.

Swimming

You may have already seen my post about swimming but not my movie. Here's my movie.

Swimming

On Monday we got to go swimming. There were people for a big pool and middle sized pool I was in that one. My teacher was Mrs Garden she taught me how to swim. We always walk.

We always get changed have a shower. If you are the first group to go. I  was in the professional group which was group two. Mostly people swap groups because there good or not. Some of them are like me.

So I always practice until I was good. I was listening to her I was getting good and better. When we were finished we swap groups.

News Paper Buildings

On Monday we got to build newspaper structures. We had to go to Room 14 because we were split up into groups of half of Room 14 and half of Room 15. I was with Room 14’s class. I didn’t know what we were going to do.

There were three people in our group. I hoped we were going to do something fun. We were learning about kids inventions. Their teacher showed us a movie about this. We had to name inventions and there were lots to name. We had to do weird inventions to. There were five to name. I named one stereo shoes, another was closeable bridge, and a third, headed tissue box. That’s all we could name because we were tired. Then I forgot we were going to swap at lunch time.

When lunch time was over we got to build our tower. We only got 8 pieces of newspaper. We only had a short time to build and Mr Marks gave us some tips. Some of them were rolling tubes. When we made our one it was huge but it was on a lean so we saw a gap and put sellotape on it. Braces is what we put on the bottom like tripod legs.

so I can get out first when we got there we had to walk around a corner we where getting in our lines. It was getting hot I just want to swim in the pool and on he hydro slide. I can tell how fantastic that is and how fast it is. MRS Garden got the people that will do the swimming sports I was feeling
excited . The sports swimmers were having races some of them swam fast and they earn points for there team,I was cheering for people and they were getting along after a while it was time to go for fun I sprinted to the pool and ran in to it. It was flotey and it was awsome and it rocks I was having so much fun I forgot about the hydro slide the slide looks like you can see but when I went on it boy it was fast you should of sore it you have to have three turns then you have to get out of it. It was home time after a lot of fun

Baseball

On Thursdays we have baseball with Cola. Cola told us how to play. Some of us played good. I like fielding the most because I like getting people out so we can win . Some of us hit very far and some cant, that is why I like fielding . When Cola says swap I sprint to be first base so I don’t have to do it any more. All I do is swing the bat and then I sprint to the base so im not out because I don’t want to let my team down. I cheer for people to win. I like people that cheer for me a lot. Baseball is my favourite sport.

Lukis Holiday Highlight

In the holidays the best day I had was going to the fun festival. There were heaps off free rides and my favourite ride was the Kamikaze. It was scary because I almost slipped out! It spins you up then it spins you down and some times it stays up in the air. That is when I almost slipped out. How freaky! My oldest brother, who is 23 came with me. The next ride I went on was the Rock n Roll. It is a ride where you have to hop in these circle things. Metal poles connect them together and they spin like a spin top does. It was awesome! The ride made me feel dizzy. After that I went for a feed . We had sandwiches which were nice. I liked a lot of the food that we had. There were heaps of lines for the other rides that I went on including the ride where you hop in these aeroplane seats and you are spun around in the air.

Lukis is in Year 5
