A Fun Day with Dad

On Sunday my family went to Kowhai Park and it was fun. On the way we got ice blocks and we ate them at the park. We played at the park and then we went to the go carts and we all went on it but not my mum. We went really fast and then our time was out, we then went on the bumper boats and that was even more exciting because it was a hot day and we got splashed with water, that was fun! After all that we went to Countdown and  home. What a fun day. 

Pet Day

Last Friday it was Pet day. There were lots of pet lambs and calves competing and there was even some horses to ride for the little kids. My favorite animals where the cage pets, there was rats, rabbits, cats, guinea pigs and a bird. For Pet day we had a lot of things to do like decorate a biscuit, make a fruit animal, make a pet poster, do the Young Farmers competition, puzzles, dog whistling and gum boot throwing. At the end of all the fun it was time for prize giving and lots of people got ribbons and certificates. Pet day was fun.

My Holiday in Taupo

In the holidays I went to Taupo with my family, my cousin and two of my best friends. First we got in the car and drove all the way to Taupo,we did stop to get some chocolate eclairs. When we got to our holiday home we got all our stuff out of the car and put them in the house and when we hopped in the house,it was beautiful. After we were all sorted, my nana and poppa came so we had lunch with them. After that we took some family photos . Later we went to AC Baths which  is a pool. It was so much fun there. We went home with aching feet. We all got dressed, had our tea and went to bed. We woke up had breakfast and after awhile we went to the Prawn Park. It was so FUN and we got to catch prawn. I caught two prawns! After we cooked them and ate them we went on a walk. On the walk you  got to feed rainbow fish and at the end of the walk we all put our feet in a foot spa. We stayed at the Prawn Park for the most of the day. Next  we went to a hot spa but it was in a river and in the spa there was rocks, sand and waterfalls. We went home and a bath and went to sleep. The last day had come and we packed all our stuff and put it in the car . Rebekah, Lauren left and went home and my family and cousin went to get fish and chips and  to the park. We went shopping,  when we went home we were  eating lollys and we stopped to get more chocolate eclairs. We we finally got home and went to bed after three big days!

JabberWocky

The last Wednesday  of school , Fordell school had a production called the JabberWocky. I was in the play I was a singer with Jaida. The play was about the JabberWocky who wanted a girl to eat in three days so the mayor put on a beauty contest and whoever won went into the Tulgy Woods to be eaten Every one who was in the production had to practice hard. Ethan was the JubJub bird, Ronan was the Bandersnach and Rebekah was the JabberWocky. It was a funny play and I enjoyed it. The play was amazing and there were lots of parents watching the play.

My Report On A Bumblebee

Bumblebees are an interesting insect for many reasons. The first good reason is where it lives. This kind of insect lives in a hive with hundreds of its other species and in its hive it makes honey. Secondly what Bumblebees eat .Bumblebees eat necter and honey and they even use necter to make the honey. Lastly how bumblebees fly. Bumblebees power fly which is when you flap your wings non stop and that is what makes a buzzing sound.  Bumblebees have two pairs of wing. Bumblebees are an interesting insects for many reasons.

The Mountain Trip

On Monday Room 2 went to the Mountain for the day. First we went drove to the Mountain and then got our card. Secondly we got our helmets, boots and skis and then went out side in the cold. We got a ski lesson and after that we were free to ski on our own. It was very exciting that we were actually on the freezing cold mountain skiing. On the Mountain there was a Magic Carpet but that's just what they call it, they also have a chair lift, that's fun. After all the skiing we went on a different chair lift and got our lunch box to have something to nibble on and then went ofF skiing again. After the fun day skiing it was time to go back to school. WOW! what a day.

The House Challenge

On Friday Fordell School had a house challenge. The challenge was had to make a shield for our house. We went in the Tin shed to get the instructions for it  and then we got into our house colours and started on our shields. Tawa was in room1, Kowhai was in room 2 and Miro was in room 3. We got a whole day to decorate our shields. When the houses were finished the seniors carried their shields to the Tin shed and then we had assembly.  Mr Walker pronounced the winner and sadly Tawa did not win but Kowhai was the winning house for the house challenge.

My Befunky

Today Room 2 and 1 went on the computer and went on Be funky. Be funky is a website where you can make effects on pictures. First we got a photo taken of us and then we went on Be funky and had fun looking at different styles. Next we chose four pictures of us that had effects

  and saved it. We then put them together and then saved it. We did this because this week we looked at Andy Warhol's art work. Back in the olden days they did not have computers so Andy Warhol took pictures of things and painted over the picture to give it effects.

The Musem

On Thursday Rom 2 went to the Wanganui Museum. We learnt about flight. We arrived at the Museum, sat down on the mat, we then went to a room full of birds and bird bones. We got a sheet that we had to fill in. After that we went up stairs and looked at butterflies and insects. I learnt that birds have two kinds of feathers. They have body feathers that keep them warm and flying feathers that make them fly. I learnt lots about flight and birds. I have had lots of fun and I hope I go there soon again.
