Last Post Of The Year



This year has been an extreme pleasure to be in Room 10. There was drama, bad times and good times too! During the bad times we all supported one another and sorted it out, kind of. We argued quite a lot and tried to apologize, most of the time we were forgiven but sometimes we weren't. My favorite memory is probably  having hip hop with Jess. Hip hop is my favorite because we got to play games but at the same time learn some new dance moves. My worst memory from this year was probably MY DRAMA! The drama I faced was very frustrating and it put so much attention on me which I didn't really want.Miss Misela would always push me to reach a high standard even when I didn't want to. She would give us free time when deserved it and when we didn't deserve it we would not get it. I am going to miss her so much because of how funny and energetic she was. A few of us will move on to year 7 while the rest go to year 6. I am actually going to miss this class even if I don't show it. We will even be getting a new principle because our current principle Mrs Vickers is retiring.
Here are a few pictures of our class this year.

The Special Girl


BOOM! “Ahhhhh” Kate shouted, as she sat up her head was pounding with a major headache. So this is Kate Miles, she is the daughter of the Dark queen and Tytus is her dad. When Kate was about five and a half her mum found out she had powers when a blue gorgeous light surrounded her in her sleep. As the blue was fading away something magical happened she was floating and her hair was curling and turning blue. Now Kate is 13, and her birthday was in August.  Her mother the Dark queen is trying to make her live the worst life because she has better powers than her mother but Kate wants to be a normal kid.

As Kate got up from her snuggly blue bed she thought about what she wanted to do “Hmmm” she thought. While she was thinking a cute blue bird flew to right onto her shoulder. “Hi Bluey” “Tweet Tweet” Bluey replied. Kate stood straight up changed her eyes to blue and did a small spin and it changed her into a black and blue ombre shirt with black ripped jeans. ZOOMMMM! Off she went to the kitchen because she was dying from starvation ( not actually but she was hungry). Clink, right in front of Kate was some slugs with worms and beetles with some gooey soup thingy. “Here EAT UP” her mum said angrily. Kate’s eyes turned orange to turn her gooey ewwy breakfast into a yummy delicious one. She turned it into a soft sweet stack on pancakes with some maple syrup dripping now the stack with blueberries on top. In a matter on minutes Kate was only able to eat two pancakes and was heading off to school.

As Kate was stepping foot into her new huge school. Kate sighed heavily and walked straight to the principal without talking to anyone. She got lost a couple of times but managed to get there in the end. “Hello Kate, welcome to Beverly Valley School!” She was so annoyed secretly but decided to give a fake smile because it was only her first day. Her first class was English so she flew with her green eyes and flew behind a tree near her class. BRINGGGGG! The bell went. “I’m already late?” she sped to her class and sat next to a girl named Annie. “Hi I’m Annie and you are?” “Me?” “Who else” “Oh I’m Kate, Kate Miles”. As Annie heard that one word Miles Annie got frightened because she heard about the history of her family. “I should get going Kate” while giving a scared fake smile. Kate thought to herself “Does she think I’m weird, or does she know about my family because her reaction turned from happy to blank once I told her my last name” Kate was sweating uncontrollably without even noticing when the her mum woke her up and said “ Kate get up it’s already 12 o’ clock! She sighed in relief and changed into that exact outfit she was in inside her dream. After breakfast Kate was taking a stroll and something came to her mind. “This place is so ewww, if I could I would change this because it looks so bad here”. “That's it!, my powers can change this from gooey and slimy to beautiful and blue!”

Meanwhile when Kate was thinking of a plan to beautify the place the queen was trying to make it look more than horrible like disgusting! After a while Kate finally made a plan and just as she was going into her room to change her outfit she saw her mum laughing evilly and was holding a potion. “Oh come on mum, again with the potions seriously this is why I don’t have friends no offense Bluey”. Birdy turned her her angrily but decided to forgive her because that’s what friends do. Eventually bluey went behind the dark queen and Kate signaled Bluey to tip the potion into the bin so Bluey did that. “OH MY GOBBLETOWN MY POTION! YOU BAD BIRD BAD! OUT NOW!”. Bluey sadly flew to Kate’s room and sat on her window miserable while Kate and her mum where screaming at each other. Afterwards Kate came to her room furious and decided to calm herself down by having a chat the her favourite animal Buey. “Oh Bluey I’m so sorry she’s like that I don’t understand why she is so mean, if I could I would stop her. Right before that conversation happened her mum was coming to apologize but decided to stick around and listen to what they were saying.  

Fiercely she slammed the door open and Bluey and Kate went silent “YOU THINK I’M MEAN I WILL SHOW YOU MEAN!”. The dark queen’s eye turned pitch black like the night and some black magic was rising from her hands. “STOP!” “Oh what now child can’t you see i’m in the middle of something?” “I mean yea but Bluey is my pet and you need to respect that, just take it out on me I told her to pour the spell into the bin”. “How could you, my own tears and blood betrayed me!” Her mum was real ready to his someone in the face but decided to take a nap because she was getting quite cranky. Instantly she used her flying powers to get out her window but her hair got caught in a branch. Eventually she was able to get her hair out of the branch and did a big spell that changed the whole town into a beautiful blue kingdom. She decided to call it Royale Blue.

It was around evening and so she decided to do something that the whole kingdom would appreciate stopping the queen from doing any bad magic. She snuck into her mom's room as quiet as a mouse and then within 10 seconds her mum shrunk her then gently put her into a jar and kept it locked until she outgrew the jar. Now she is 26 and is the new queen of Royale Blue, everyone in the village has never been hurt since the evil queen was thrown into the water and is now living a good life. Kate has provided more food, schools, shops, and hospitals for people who are ill. I forgot to tell you that before the evil queen outgrew her jar Kate removed every single power she had and thrown it far far far away. She is trapped inside a cage underwater for good and Kate has a 2 year old son, she named him Tytus because that was the name of her father.

Tennis With Peter

On Tuesday we started playing Tennis. Our tutors name is Peter, he came to teach us how to play and will be coming next week on Tuesday again. I was pared up with DJ and behind us two were Tyresse and his sister. Everytime he said switch the person behind us had to switch with us. It was pretty hard because every time we would put effort while hitting the bat it would go very high and far away. Joseph in room 9 was getting my  ball, so he grabbed his racket to hit it back to but then it accidentally went over the fence to this ladies house. The next picture shows the house it went over to.

Fun On My Birthday

In the holidays on my birthday I went to Jump with trampolines and a restaurant called Odhee Brothers. I went with my cousins, my brother Dakbai, Liza and Mary.

At Jump we had to pay $18.50 each. It was actually $16 each and $2.50 for the socks so I just used a $20. After looking helpless for 3 minutes we finally got our socks. It was a vibrant purple colour and the bottom of it was bright yellow and bumpy. As we were about to go in we got stopped because we needed a wrist band. Mine was just plain red like the rest of ours to notify us of our time limit. Once it was our turn I ran to the pit, swung on the long itchy rope and in I went. It was quite difficult to get out of the pit because my socks were sliding off. Out the soft pit I went and did a few high jumps on the trampoline. Off I was straight to the dodge ball area!

Mary, Liza, my cousin Angelina and I played dodge ball for a bit. Bit by bit we started to get lazier and lazier so we just bought a refreshing slushy. I got the gloomiest of gloom the purple berry drink. I was so eager to drink more but I went back to the trampolines. Bloop! I fell on my bottom uncontrollably laughing, feeling so silly. Minutes passed and we had to get off because it was time for the green wrist band people to have a turn.

On our way to the restaurant we could smell the delicious fast foods. I was so determined to have Nando's but picked Odhee Brothers because I knew it was going to be the only time I got to go there. Joyfully I ordered a sprite and the beef burger with a side of fries. Twenty minutes went by slowly then finally we got our food. The food was very fresh and nice, but the meat was my favorite because it was tender and juicy.

After dinner I was surprised with a small chocolate cake. Since I was extremely stuffed I kept it for home. Once I got to my warm and cozy house I slept in my warm bed with a fluffy blanket and it was so peaceful.

This is some facts I found online. Hope you enjoy my small presentation!

Duffy Role Model

On Wednesday two brothers came to our school.
Denzel the tattooed one was talking about how lucky we were to be a Duffy school and how when he was young he couldn't pay. Denzel is a body builder and loved to play sports when he was younger. When he was in elementary his teacher told him about how his passion was sports because he loved sports. Ever since then Denzel kept reading books and is now in Auckland University. After that he talked a bit about his tattoo's and what they represent. Before we left we sang the Duffy song and Pupuke one of our Prefects thanked him.

A Time I Worked Hard To Achieve Something

A time I worked very hard to achieve my goal was yesterday on Sunday night at home. My goal was to get my brothers phone so I could play games on it because it has good quality before my other brother did.

To distract him I turned the T.V onto a very boring channel, even I was bored so then slowly he started closing his eyes. So I grabbed a blanket as quiet as a mouse and put it on him so he could fall asleep and not wake up. I had to try move him over but that didn't work, so I tried slipping out his phone out but that sure didn't work. I finally tried pulling the charger and he almost woke up so that was pretty bad. Both me and my brother wanted it, so we decided that it was first to get it got to play on it. We pushed and shoved and almost made each other fall on him but thank goodness we didn't.

My mum started falling asleep because we turned it back to transformers after he fell asleep. Then when my mum closed her eyes we fought sweat and blood just for a phone like seriously, well it was that important to us because we barley get a turn on it because he always says we give it back to him when it's dead (actually we do). Every time my brother tried he would fail but I finally came up with an idea. It was the simplest way and he would probably say yes because he is tired....asking.

I shook my big brother until he woke up and asked him quietly "can I play on your phone" and one answer came back it was "okay". I jumped with joy and pulled it out just before he fell back asleep. I took it off the charger and started playing roblox. I played games like Bloxburg, Roblox High school and a few more games. After that it was about to die so I quickly played one last game then finally....it died, my life felt like it was over just because it died and I was enjoying it.

I put it back on the charger and went back to sleep because school was the next day. My suggestion to you is play roblox and beg your less strict parent to buy you robux so you can unlock Bloxburg because it is so cool.

The Time I Saved Everyone From A Disease

Hello my name is Agueer and I will be sharing a story about when I saved everyone from a disease. It was back in 1952 when it all started...

Recognising
So it was a sunny day and was walking down the street and I just pasted the hospital in the south of Miami. Just when I walked all the way past the hospital this man coughed. The more I was passing people the more I would hear coughs. Then I turned around looking directly at the hospital and saw all those people walking into the hospital. I went back and into the hospital and saw an old woman in a room lying on the bed. I was about to walk away when I overheard the doctor and the old woman's conversation, he said to her "Vanessa you have Homorphomia cancer just like most of the people here and if you know anyone who has been coughing a lot send them here" Vanessa replied saying "There are a couple of people I know who cough a lot". After their conversation I got out of the hospital and walked to a shop and had some pepperoni pizza.

The Search
When I arrived home I searched up different types of cancer and found the exact one the doctor was talking about, it read "Hormophomia Cancer, Homorphomia cancer is a very spread able cancer. When you get Homorphomia you cough a lot and if you don't get checked out straight away you may die". I said "I have to help them even if it doesn't work well at least I tried" so I planned something for 6 weeks and that week on Thursday was the day I did it. During my planning time I made this potion it was made from blackberries grass and fish, so first what I did was I went near that hospital ad took a plant out from under my arm and a woman coughed on it then I went home and went to my backyard. I simply squeezed a few drops of the potion into the plant and then five seconds later... I became a miracle worker. It felt good to help the plants so I took it in the next day.

The Blessing
The next day I took it in and saw a doctor named Kylie, she was very supportive and asked me to show her, when I showed her the experiment she said "Wow I will let you work on Miss Smith" "who's Miss Smith" "she is the old lady in ward 2 number 12" so I went to her room. She was asleep and the doctors told me "Go on do your thing" then I shot the needle in her. She woke up and jumped out of her room joyfully and we all cheered. So after I shot every patient I was rewarded with a $500,000 shopping spree, I was so blessed that day and also my budget is still going even after 3 years it is at $200,000.

Thank you for listening to my story and I hope you enjoyed it feel free to give back some feed back.

Hip Hop Class

Today at the multipurpose room we had Hip Hop Class. Our tutors name was Jess. I don't know how old she is but she is a pretty good dancer. This is a small clip of a few people doing the routine Jess taught us. I liked how she didn't treat us like babies and gave it her all and made sure that we would keep going even if we failed. She is a really cool and fun teacher to be with. The game we played was kind of like musical chairs but with no chairs and we had to dance no matter what.

TOI TOI Once Again!

Plan- Toi Toi
1- Konzay Reading
2- Groups
3- Saying Bye


Yesterday the people from Toi Toi came to our school. They came because Konzay's story got published in the new book, Konzay's story was about his friend Dominic. Konzay talked about how he was a good friend to him and how much he missed him. His story was called "My Friend Dominic"

First when they arrived they introduced themselves, then straight after that Konzay got up and read his story to room 10 and 9. It was really nice to hear what he had to say about Dominic. The best part about his reading was talking about how Dominic liked reading his bible and how he would never give up and how he would tell others no matter how imperfect they were that they could do it, and to be honest that is what good friends do. After he read his story they awarded him with the book for himself. Later on  we split into our groups and went to either room 9 10 or stayed in 11.

I was in a group with Fabian, Reality, Uinita, Sonny, Jamayne and I forgot our leaders name but she was a woman. She was really nice and let us all pick our story by flicking through and whatever we stopped at we would read it. I read Blue Wings I think that's what it's called. My story was talking about blue things like the sea, and the sky. Everyone in my group tried their best to solve out the words and if they got it wrong someone in  our group would help them say it properly.

After like 25 minutes it was time to finish up. We read one last story and just got to fit in a little game. The game was kind of like pictionary but we didn't have to guess it. It was really fun reading with the Toi Toi people and I would like them to come back.

After reading with them I felt happy and focused to read more stories. It was really good how they encouraged us to sound out the words we needed to work on. My message for you all is to keep up your reading and don't give up if you fail the first time.

Funnest Day In The Holidays

On the last Wednesday of the holidays I went to watch the movie Peter Rabbit. I went with my 3 relatives Zara, Angelina, Cassius, my uncle Thomas and Liza. We went to the one in Sylvia Park because it was really close to the house. We went was because we were bored and wanted to do something fun.

First we went to Sylvia Park and booked our ticket, we chose to watch it at 4:30 instead of 1:30 because it was almost 1:30. When we were waiting in Line my two baby cousins Zara and Cassius ran out of the line so me and my cousin had to run and bring them back into the line. When we finished buying tickets we went to the ice cream shop right next to it. It was so confusing because my cousin Cassius said that he wanted ice cream then when the man put one scoop in he said that he didn't want it.  After that we went to Burger Kings, Angelina and I had a frozen berry and Liza and my cousins Cassius and Zara had a sundae. Just when Zara's dad gave her the sundae she said she didn't want it, I was stressed because they said they wanted it then they didn't. Then when it was about to start we bought a lot of popcorn, some drinks and lollies.

After that we walked into our room number then Liza and my cousin Angelina were doing cartwheels because the movie hadn't started. Just before it was almost about to start Me Liza and Angel went to my uncle and stole some of his popcorn. Once the movie started we were all like "Yassssss". Then while we were eating the popcorn I opened our bag of skittles and we had 3 each. It was so yum literally. When the movie finished we danced in front of everyone then we left the cinema's.

When we walked out we ran into Toy World to see if they still had squishes but they were sold out. A few minutes later, we just roamed around bored then we decided why not hide from our uncle. So we told my baby cousins Zara and Cassius to stay with us and be quiet but of course, they didn't they just went and did their own things. I was interested in looking at this type jewellery. It was so clear it looked like a crystal. I was pretty tired because it was dark outside.

To be honest I would recommend watching "Peter Rabbit" if you have a miniature sibling. My feelings were a bit annoyed at the first part, happy after the movie and Crazy because my cousins were running around like it was a park inside Toy World. I actually wanted to watch Rampage but since I was with miniature kids I had to watch Peter Rabbit.

Adverb Poem

Bravely, soldiers risked their lives
Bravely, soldiers left their wives

Bravely, soldiers shot and died
Bravely, soldiers tried and tried

Bravely, soldiers went to war
Bravely, soldiers hearts were torn

Bravely, we wear poppies for them
Bravely, we keep their sacrifice as gems.

The Museum Trip

 Yesterday room 9 & 10 went to Auckland Museum. When we got there we sat down in lines and talked about the rules, after that we walked up the stairs to floor two and walked until we got to the World War 1 room. In the room where heaps of names, some of us thought it would be like about 50 something but it looked like 500. We looked at the glass window and saw some of the people who went to war and died. It was so upsetting seeing the people who gave their lives for us.


 After we looked in the first room we went to another room about World War 1 and the photo that was so sad was when a man had his leg shot or cut off and sewed his skin back together, so one leg was normal and the other was short. We saw trenches and we also saw a few guns. The weirdest part was when the man was talking on the phone. It was pretty scary cause he was talking about when his wife died and all that.
Then after we started looking at all the World War 2 stuff. In there we saw spitfires and things like bazookas. It was cool and sad at the same time.

Sad & Happy

There once was a boy
He was treated like a toy
So one day he decided 
"I'm going on a diet"
Soon on that day
He found a bunch of hay,
So he ate and ate 
Then he started to hate,
His mum, dad and even his life 
so he just grabbed a knife,
He started to cry
and said "I'm going to die"
His mum walked in she grabbed the knife
and said to him
"son live your life"
so he said okay 
and that following day
He was happy and
never got sassy

  • Then drive a bit straight and turn into the rooftop parking lot next to Pak'n Save and you have arrived

How To Draw A Portrait Of Yourself...

Today I will teach you how to draw a picture of yourself. I will explain to you what to do while you follow these instructions.

First you have to place your paper in portrait not landscape and draw an oval in the middle of you page that is almost a big as your paper but leave some space for your hair. Now you get a ruler and place it in the middle, then you have to draw a few short lines across the page make sure they are straight. Next you draw a line the same as the other but from up to down, when you have done that go beneath the line that goes side ways and leave a space and draw another line the same as the one going side ways. Now you should have an oval with one line going from up to down and two lines with spaces between them going from one side to the other.

Then you have can start drawing the features I would recommend drawing the eyes first, if your eyes are big and round draw big and round eyes. If you have small eyes that look like ovals then draw eyes that look like ovals don't worry about speeding just take your sweet time!

 Once you have completed that draw a nose if you have a flat nose draw it, if your nose goes straight down then to the sides draw it! After that you draw your lips I don't care if they are fat or tiny what so ever just draw it because they are your lips and no one can change that except you!

When you draw your eyebrows draw actually how they look. It doesn't matter if they aren't on fleek because usually everyone's eyebrows aren't. Also make sure you draw your eyelashes. If you have very longg eyelashes draw them long, but if they are short draw short ones. Also shade some of the side of your face so it kind of looks real.

Finally you draw your type of hair style and you have finally finished!

This is a example of how it should look...

Thee Artiste!

2 weeks ago an artist named Ariel came with Zoe. If you don't know who Zoe is she is the daughter of Mrs Hoebriggs. She came with Ariel to teach us how we can do art with plants. One colour that was a plant was called Turmeric, Ariel said she found some plants and cooked them in a pot with boiling water. She even made a rug with squares that had different colours of the plants. It smelled weird but had a good colour it was bright and looked like a water colour but without the water in it.

DANGER!

The Story i read was called Danger Man. It was about when 4 boys went to the zip line and after that got caught.

First what happened was a boy was wide awake at dawn, it was about 5:30 am and he decided to wake up his best friend named Josh and go on a tour around the camp. Next they decided to go with their 2 friends named Luke and Ryan. Josh was the crazy one in the group and took risks. 

When they were touring they found a zip line, Josh wanted to go on it but the rest didn't so Josh got on and started to get closer to the middle. The more Josh got into the middle the lower he got, then after he was in the middle he was about to fall in so he said "Help Me". The boys saw a raft but there was no paddle so they grabbed a stick. The moment they got in the water they paddled, then when they got to him Josh let go. The water splashed then the 3 boys laughed and Josh yelled at them.

The worst part was they got caught and so they knew what was coming they were going to clean the toilet bowl with their toothbrush.

That is why the story is called "Danger Man". Also the author is Mark Sizer and the Illustrator is Mat Tait.

The World Celebrates Green Day!...

All around New Zealand, there are a lot of events happening because of Saint Patrick's Day! Each year in New Zealand Saint Patricks Day is celebrated on the 17th of March.

The first celebration of Saint Patrick's day was in the United States specifically Boston in 1737. The largest celebration to celebrate Saint Patrick's day parade is in New York, I don't know why it is the largest but who knows why?

Patrick was born in Britan in the year 387. Patrick's real name was actually Maewlyn Succat. The name St Partick was given to him later in his life by a woman named Pope Celestine. Later on at the age of sixteen, he was kidnapped by pirates and was sold into slavery in Ireland. Saint worked as a shepherd and started turn into a different religion into a Devout Christian. After six years when he was 21, he escaped and flew back to Britain.

St Patrick sadly died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, then on March 17, he was believed to be buried in Downpatrick, County Down!

That is why we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day!

Warriors Win!

The Warriors have won their first game of 2018 with an impressive win of 32-20 against South Sydney at Optus Stadium!

They have been struggling this year but they looked better when they tackled and look way more fit than last year. Most importantly they finished the game with not one single person with an injury! Their other game was against the Titans last week on the weekends.

Bad News...About Stephen Hawkings...

Do you know Stephen Hawkings? If you do good on you but if you don't you will know from this post. First of all the basics, the way you pronounced his name isn't (Stephen Hawkings) but it's pronounced as (Steven Hawkings) but that is just how you spell it.

Hawkings peacefully died at his home in Cambridge, UK. Hawkings was mostly known for his work with black holes and relativity and also wrote several science books one of the most popular ones is called A Brief History Of Time.

At the age of 22, he was given only a few years to live then he would die, after being found with a medical problem with a rare form of motor neuron disease if you don't know what a motor neuron disease is it is a very bad medical problem that can not be cured.
The illness left Hawkings in a wheelchair and he was unable to speak except through a voice synthesiser. Also, a voice synthesiser is an electronic device that speaks what you text through your device in a human voice.

Jacinda Adern at Polyfest...

A lot of kids from the Pacific Islands participated in the Polyfest last week!

Polyfest is four days of the Pacific culture with music, food, and competitions. Among all the 242 people there was a special person who went who just came from Raratonga, guess who, you give up, if you don't comment who you think it is right now if you give up I'll tell you. It was our prime minister great I know right, it was New Zealand's own Jacinda Adern! She was the first ever Labour prime minister to ever attend Polyfest.


I have a question for you now. Did you attend Polyfest?

The Trip To A Big School

Today, a few students from our school went to Saint Kentigern College to do some sport activities. The first time we were with them they came to our school, but then they decided why not them come to us. It was quite fun sometimes but was also a bit boring. From our class in my group was Alamoni, Kymani, Shaniqua, Faye & Militina. Mrs Riley and Miss Misela went around to check on each group on how they were doing, but then there was an incident with one of my classmates.

Ed Sheeran In Dunedin!

Dunedin's city council has decided to spend $8000 on a street picture of Ed. 

Ed will probably be preforming in Dunedin around Easter time, and to celebrate they got a professional artist to paint a picture of Ed to welcome him! The design has been approved by Ed, but a few people are not happy with this decision. They think all that money should be spent on important things people need, not want. The street art will be finished by next week. Also not only is he going to Dunedin but he will be coming to Dunedin and Auckland later in the month.

A Secret Bottle In Spain?


On March 14th a family in the northern part of Spain found a message from New Zealand that was sent eight years ago! The person who sent it was a boy, his name was Julian Joy in the message had his address, and age in a wine bottle. Last month the people in Whangarei received a response from a German woman, her name was Luisa she said it was her mother that found the note in a place called Mundaka on the Atlantic coast of Spain. Julian's mother said, "We'd forgotten all about the bottle because it was eight years and we were just so excited to see if it got anywhere!" She thought that it would never make it out of Whangarei harbor but apparently, it did!

The Most Delicious Poem Ever!

Crunchy and delicious to eat
An amazing brown colour
Ruminating it is sooo yum
Allowed to share if you like
Melts in your mouth when you chew it
Edible and such an honor to have it
Light and slow to eat


One Of The Greatest Games...The Commonwealth Games!

What I Know About the Commonwealth Games..         

K:
This years commonwealth games are held in Australia, to be specific Gold Coast in April. If you don't know where Australia is, it is near some of the Pacific Islands like Tonga, Samoa and many more. Some sports are include like soccer touch and a few more I don't know. If I had to pick out of soccer or touch I'd say touch, I chose touch because in soccer you could trip because the ball and in touch there is no tackling and referees can see if someone cheats. To be honest I think the Commonwealth Games are exactly like the Olympics. Different countries like New Zealand , Australia, Scotland and a lot more gather and play. It has been going for 6 years I think.

W:
I want to know who created the Commonwealth games and when it started? Who is running the Commonwealth games? Why we have the Commonwealth games? How long until it will end?

L:
I learnt that there are 53 countries in the Commonwealth.  It started on the 11th of December 1930. The person who is running the Commonwealth Games is The British Empire. Did you know that only six teams have attended the Commonwealth Games every year. This year it will start on April 4th and finish on April 15th, also it happens every 4 years.

The Blind Dog

There once was a dog                           

Who was blinded from the fog
He tried to find food
But wasn't in the mood
 He found a bone and
made it is his own,
 When he went to sleep
he heard a little creak
He was so afraid 
So he decided to be brave
He was about to jump off the bed, 
but he thought the floor was red
But he jumped instead,
and saw some bread
So he ate and ate 
until he felt great
so he switched off the light 
and said "Goodnight".

The Horrible Cyclone

Thousands of people here in New Zealand have lost power because of Cyclone Gita. Christchurch, Grey District, Selwyn, Westland, Tasman and Taranaki are under state of emergency. 500 people made emergency calls because of this bad disaster. In the South Island about 200 people are still trapped after spending the night in their busses after state highway 6 was closed.

Plastic On Raglan Beach

Plastic experts have been finding hundreds of tiny bits of plastic in Raglan beach. If you didn't know like me, Raglan beach is in Hamilton. A woman called Anna Cummins was touring the beach and she found a lot of plastic in some non expected areas. Some locals told Anna that the beach was very clean and so she thought it was but realised when you go on your knees and move some of the natural litter you will see.

Anna said "New Zealand isn't as clean an green as it could be". The plastic in the beach were causing a lot of trouble. So please when you go to a beach not pollute it, because once one person starts putting rubbish in the water others will start to copy also.

Boring Test..

This week we have been doing a lot of testing. First we did a reading test and yesterday on Thursday we did a maths test. To be honest I think some of the questions were misleading but I warmed up to them, and most of the questions were easy because I knew what they were talking about.
I think the reading test was much easier because I was at an extraordinary standard to understand the words.

The Grandest Poem Of Them All!

 You better not turn
you better not glare
 if you accept, 
tell me you swear,
my name is Agueer
well you should know
did you know I am
 tall from head to toe?

There once was an Angel
who loved to clean
she would dust and wash
until it was pure green

she loved to boogie
every time she found cookies
and loved to nap
and woke up like a zap
she was stinky 
so she showered with jelly 
and said it was cold
and she felt very bold.
