Day Dream

Ms. Whitwell thinks I'm writing but no...
I'm in the Olympics about to win a gold medal.
I sprint as fast as, I can go and I run and run
I'v nearly made it.
"Gemma get to work!"

Ms. Whitwell thinks I'm reading but no...
I'm dancing with the fairies...
or riding on a unicorn.
I'm trying to catch a white rabbit.
Getting chased by a troll.

Ms. Whitwell thinks I'm paying attention but no...
I'm hoping out of my space ship or jumping on the moon.
I'm counting all the little stars and visiting all the planets

" Gemma snap out of it!"

My Acrostic poem

Samoa


Swimming in the sea
And touching all the starfish
Mmm delicious fish
Or exploring around the island
Amazing sunset!

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.

The Mitre Ten Challange

On Saturday there was a Mitre Ten challenge. There were lots of different schools there and some of Fordell did the challenge. I was one of the people and there was four others, Tineisha, Seth, Jaida and Ronan did it to. There was five obstacles there were, nail hammering, apple bobbing, bean bag throwing, egg and spoon race and a wheel barrow race and pushing a car. We got into numbers and then we go to our station and got ready. On your marks, get set, go! It all begins! Tineisha hammers the nail in tags, Jaida and Jaida get the apples out of a bucket, she gets none and then Seth tries, he get four of them out then tags Jaida. She has got all of them in and then tags me. I walk with an egg on a spoon and I go over a block of straw  and I did it. I hop in a wheel barrow and Ronan takes me for a ride. I hop out and get Mr Walker out of the pool and then we all push a car to the finish line! We were done and we all got a little prize, we also won best dressed.
