What's inside the box?...

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Have you ever dressed up like your favourite book character? Spiderman? Maybe even an animal?

Well, this week is "Hooked on Books Week" at our school. "What is hooked on books week?", you may be wondering. Well, book week is a week where we get lots of different books each day. In the morning, we get a box, and the teachers pick who gets to open the box by using the popsicle sticks, which is basically just a container filled with popsicle sticks that have childrens names on it. Whoever's name is pulled out of the container gets to open the box. 

Anyway, first we got a book called 'The list'. It's about a person named letter, and she is an apprentice for Benjamin, the 'Wordsmith'. What they do, is they make a list of words. Everyone in Ark, which is the name of their... I'm not sure what to call it... Which is the name of their tribe, have to speek the language of 'List'. What Letter and Benjamin do is come up with the new words, or take away some words, for the list. The problem is, Letter doesn't want to speek list, she wants to be free. There used to only be 700 words, but now their leaders are making the wordsmiths lower the words down to 500. Soon Letter is faced with the choice of sitting by and watching as words just casually slip by, or follow a mysterious boy on a path to freedom... Or banishment.

The next two books were: "The Boy who learned to fly", and, "Charlie and the War against the Grannies". The last one sounds weird, doesn't it.

Anyway, I was really filled with curiousity of what the books were going to be, and I can't wait to find out what the next book is!

Pet Day!

Do you have a pet? A dog? A cat Maybe?

Well, last week, both cats and dogs came to our school. Even turtles, tadpoles, chickens - Yes, I did just say chickens - and hamsters came! Plus, There were still more types of animals! And do you know why? It's quite obvious. You don't know why? Oh well, let me start from the title. If you may have already forgotten, the title read... Pet Day! And if the title says 'Pet day', than this blog post is going to be about- NO! NOT RAINBOW UNICORNS! PETS!!!!!.
thats right, now will you listen?

So, as I was saying, it was pet day. We got to make awesome fruit and vegetable sculptures, make our own hobbie horse, and lots more! For my sculpture, I carved a face out of an apple, gave it a mohawk, arms, and legs. Overall, I had a whole lot of fun, and I know that everyone else did too!

The A&P Show!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Have you ever been to a fair? Yes? No?

Well, on thursday last week, My class and I went to the A&P Show! For those of you out there who don't know what the A&P Show is, It is kind of like a fair. There is a whole lot of things there. There were bouncy castles, animals, motorbikes, lollies, fast food, and a whole lot of toys. I really, really enjoyed the time we spent there, It was just so fun!

I got to go in a group with my friends, Alvin, Eamon, and Thom, and we went in Alvins car in order to get there. When we got there, I saw that the place was crowded with cars and other people who had come to the fair. I got myself a necklace, and I really like it. There were lots of cool cars out there for display, and one of my favourites was the Chevrolet Camaro zl1. I'm not sure if I had a favourite part of the show, because I really liked it all. Overall, I had an amazing time.

YMS Goes to Town!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Did you go to the Symphony Orchestra in Town?

Well, today my whole school and I went to town. First we went to the Town Hall to watch an AMAZING concert. I will add some videos in at the bottom, and you HAVE to watch them! Anyhow, After that we went to Margeret Mahy playground, where my friends and I played a game of tag and lots of other things.

Overall, I had a whole lot of fun. I can see that my friends had lot's of fun too, and that is for two reasons. One: They too also posted this on their blog. And two: They were talking about the trip even after we got to school. I mean, it's not everyday that your whole school gets to go to watch a concer, and then straight after that walk to a big park!

My Fantatic Future House!

Kia Ora Bloggers!

As a kid, have you ever drawn your dream house?

Well, today for home learning I decided that it would be a good idea to create my future house! It took me a while to decide whether to create it on a website called 'Planner 5D' (it is a link) or just create it on paper. But in the end, I decided just to draw in on paper. I liked the idea of drawing my own future house, because it meant that I could just draw anything I wanted on the piece of paper.

It would be nice If I got some feedback on my drawing.

Amazing Athletics!

Hello Bloggers!

Do you like to play sports? Sprints? High-jump perhaps?

Well, on Wednesday this week, we got to do... ATHLETICS! Athletics was supposed to happen on friday last week, but let's just say that the weather wasn't at it's best. Anyway, I was pretty excited when I was told that we were wearing our house colours (Blue, Red, Green, and Yellow), so I just wore a yellow shirt (because I am in Ormsby, the yellow house) and black and white shorts. I made sure that what I wore was suitable for the events that we were having, this was so that it would be easier to move around.

What I mostly enjoyed about athletics day was probably... Hmmm... everything! But if I had to pick two favourite sports on the day, I would pick sprints and high-jump. In sprints, I just managed to grasp the placing of 3rd place, and in high-jump, I managed to get second place. Oh, I almost forgot. The sports that we did were:

Sprints, High-Jump, Long-jump, Discus, Shot-put, and relays.
