ANZAC Poem

People bleeding

On ANZAC day there is a lot of poppies.

Proud people because they won.

Pumping legs when the soldiers run.

In the trenches there are soldiers.

Enormous explosions.

Ships booming out bullets.

camp 2015

This is a picture of Joseph and I when room13 had just came out of the cave. On the first day of camp we walked to over night camp where we sleep in the tents. So we said goodbye to room12 but it was just for one night. While room12 was getting ready for the night room13 went on a burma trail.  It was freaky and i heard screaming and I laughed. We did caving,rock climbing, abseiling kayaking and a whole lot of other activities, man that was awesome.

Rico Fast on Fire

I zooooomed around the school field like a cheetah. I am training for the Vardon school cross country and Inter school. It's warm up time. The very first warm up the class did was balancing on one leg it was quit challenging but I could still do it. The next challenging warm up was our stretchy stretches. We stretched our sides so much I felt like an elastic rubber band. One of  the warm up stretches was when you had to do something when you pretended you were sitting on a chair. The last warm up activity we did was twenty star jumps. This made my legs felt so painful I could hardly walk. Now it's time for running like lightning. Some people ran around the field two times but I ran seven times. Some people were really fast and  fit at running around the field. Harlem was amazing at running because he didn't stop and he ran the same amount of times around the field as me and Jono. I felt exhausted at the end of my run. My face was ugly like The Phantom off The Phantom of the Oprah because I ran so hard. I was hiamo (excited) and whakahihi (proud) of running around the school field seven times. My goal is to do ten times. Ka rawae! (awesome)

The principals of flight

 

Drag =To slow the plane down
Thrust = To make the plane go faster
Gravity = Makes the plane go down
Lift = To make the plane to go up
Control = To make the plane go right,left,forward. Planes can't go backwards.

Matariki Hangi

I peeled three pumpkin's. I loved the hangi I have had a hangi before. I smelt the meat cooking and the vegetables. The stuffing was better than what my mum makes. My sister Bella came to have some of the hangi.        

YELLOW

                                                   Yellow            
Yellow is the sun reflecting on a silver opened chip packet making a fire

Yellow is the bees buzzing around the flowers finding Yellow honey.

Yellow is the out line of the yellow eyed penguins eyes diving in the ocean.

Yellow is the fire demolishing a house.

Yellow is the warning sign saying the yellow sun is going to demolish the world.
