At the moment senior and middle school people having been working hard to practice there routene for there gymastics competion. I'm in gymastics and its better hard to practice our routene this fast we only have four more practices to go until the real thing. Most of us know the route but some are still getting there. Also when we first started gymnastics all of us didn't know what we were doing and it was scarie doing a route that you didn't know, and doing it in front of everyone. When we all knew what we were doing it wasn't that scarie. We also had a lot of encouragement from our friends/ class mates and of crouse our teachers. There is one thing in gymnastics that is really hard and everyone gets stuck on it is jumping onto the beam with your feet not your nees but I think most of the girls have learnt it fast. Also so e girls a lunch time have a go at teaching the middle school people so they know there route well enough to preforme thank you for lies ting to my story

Zombies

                                                   ZOMBIES

Once upon a time there was a scientist called Aidan he was trying a formula on a person called Reisan but it turned him in a zombie a the world got infected in a week.

There was four boys left Baylin,Jadyn,Chris and Mitchell they had to get weapons plus food and water.The first night was brutal they had to sleep in a school in room 1.Zombies were  moaning and moaning so in the morning Mitchell was gone and there was blood outside everywhere.Later they took a walk and found a litter letter in there walk it said "yous a are all doomed"from Zombo boss.

So the night came so they fought and Baylin died like a bug getting  squashed in seconds.So Chris and Jadyn killed some zombies but could not make a cure.Plus Zombo boss rules Ho ha ha ha ha.

Camp from Jadyn and Douw!!!!!

                                   CAMP

At camp was the best time of our lives this year. The activities we did were Ab Sailing, Flying Fox, Archery, Kayaking, Team Rescue, Crate Climbing and Go Carting. 

JADYN:The best time for me was the hydro slide. People said to me that the superman position makes you go the max speed. I will tell you the positions you can do the star fish position,  the superman position, the sitting position. How you do the sitting position is you sit down on the slide and while your sliding you have to spread out your arms on the sides of the slide.

I also enjoyed crate climbing I enjoyed it because it was a big challenge for me.ROCK CLIMBING.Rock climbing was also a big challenge it was nearly as hard as crate climbing there were three sessions easy, medium, and hard.I started at medium because easy looked to easy but there was another reason why I started at medium, the reason was I thought I was ready to start at medium, starting at easy is over the hard one was a big challenge except I thought I was going to fall because I kept on forgetting that the parent helper was holding me on the rope. I REALLY HOPE THAT I CAN GO TO CAMP ANOTHER TIME =).   

Douw:
My Most favorite activity was Archery along with ab sailing and rock climbing and really all the other ones. I really enjoyed camp and will want to sertenly go again. And I recommend going 

ZOO Gabby

zoo

 
On the 28th  of July the senior school went to the Zoo. We were looking at animal adaptation and why they suit their habitat.

I was with Zoe's dad Justin, Kiara, James and Marcus. First we went to see the Zebras and Giraffes I named the tallest one Tallie. Of course Zoe did the zebras. Her favourite one is the smallest one, I have no idea why.

Next we went to see the lions, we saw three, they were all girls. Then we saw the flamingos,  Zoe took a photo of them.

The Holidays

Friday was finally the holidays it was two weeks so let the fun begin. So at the end of the day everyone was running and screaming. The first thing I did in the holidays was going to Eden Park which was Blues vs Cheifs. It was a 1 hour drive when me, my brother and mum and dad got there it was a 15 minute walk because we park so far. When we got there I could see the whole stadium there were so many lights. At the start I got fries and a burger and sprite. At the end of the game Cheifs won 13-16. I cheered for Blues. The next thing I did was go to watch the Transformers Age Of Extinction at the movies. It was so cool we eat pop-corn, chips, and ice-cream. The next thing I did was going to Parakai Springs. It was like a swimming place there were two slides. I went on both of them 15 times and there was an inside pool and outside pool. The last thing I did was going to the motel there were hot pool and a big pool which was inside. But me, my cousin, sister, and grandma got scared because there was a power cut so we went back in the motel. For dinner we had burgers and hot chips.

Miss Dower: Great story Christopher! Sounds like you had  avery busy holiday. You have done a great job at showing your personal voice in this recount and sequencing your ideas. Remember when you are writing a recount it is in past tense as it is something that has already happened. I have highlighted a few words for you that are not quite in the correct tense. Can you see if you can edit these to be the correct tense for a recount?

my adventure on camp

Camp

I was so excited to go on camp! When I got  there I was amazed it was nothing like I imagined but it was still as awesome as I thought. Anyway we went to our cabin my cabin was 1c at Totara springs. The first activity my group did was crate climbing we were only allowed to do 10 crates because there was not enough time. After crate climbing we got into our pjs and went out for dinner. It was yum. After dinner it was bed it was a bit earlier than my normal bed time but that doesn't matter because we got a few minutes  to talk. In the morning we had about 10 minutes to get ready and go to our activity. My cabin group is Kiara, Gabby, Alex, Rayne and  Marcia where all best friends. Me and Gabby are the only year 5 and were the bestest friends forever. After our first activity we did another activity then we had some morning tea it was cookies yum yum. After morning tea was another activity I forgot what it was but it was still fun because they were all fun but my favorite one isn't actually an activity   it's the hydro slide and one that is an activity the flying fox both of them I was scared at first but I did them and had the time of my life. CAMP WAS AWESOME!



Peer Assessor: Andre "What i like about your blog is that you added lots of detail and it is very interesting."

Miss Dower: Great story Zoe. I agree with Andre, your blog is interesting because it shows your personal voice. I have highlighted two areas for you to work on. The yellow highlighted bits are letters that should be capitals. Remember an I on its own is always a capital letter. The green highlighted words are contractions that are missing their apostrophe. A contraction is two words that join together to make a shorter word (eg. was + not = wasn't). Can you please go back through your blog and see if you can add the apostrophes in the correct place.

the best game ever of soccer hip hip ha ray

                                                          soccer                                   
 On Friday the 1st of august  Howick primary had a soccer game against another school that I have no idea what there name is. They were easy at the beginning and then at the second half they were getting harder we tied 0-0 me and Aaron were getting tired because we didn't go off because we love soccer i as mid-field and Aaron was striker it was so fun i think that that was our last game. We switched goalie in the first half we had Quinn and in the second half we had Douggie he is the best in the school he saved all the goals we are happy to have him in our school without the goal keepers we would be in trouble and definitely lose all our games but my friend Henry was a winger he was left wing that was a fun game because we did not lose for once hip hip ha ray hip hip ha ray but sadly we lost all the other games. we should have won 10-0 to us i think our team is pretty good

Peer Assessor: Zoe "you need to work on capital letters and spelling other than that it was pretty good." 

Miss Dower: Well done Andre. Sounds like you are very passionate about soccer. Zoe has given you some very good feedback. There were a lot of spelling mistakes in your writing that I have corrected for you. She has also suggested you work on your capital letters. I have highlighted where I think your full stops should go - as you have forgotten to include them. Please go through and check this piece of writing again and correct you capital letters and full stops.
