My brother's 5th Birthday

In the holidays on the 3rd of January it was my brother's 5th birthday. My brother's name is Rocky. At Rocky's 5th birthday he had a bar-barque at the pakuranga swimming pools. The theme for the birthday party was pirates. I was in charged of the Treasure Island. During Rocky's birthday the little kids got to swim while the adults and other kids were still in the party room talking. The rule at the party was if a little kid wanted to go swimming like age 9 and down they had to be supervised by an adult. I didn't swim because I was helping my mum organise the candy buffet.
As you can see there are chocolate bars, little chippies and strings, lollipops, mini toys,chocolate muffins, and snakes.There are little mini coins spread out on the table. There are also little treasure boxes that are on the table to. In some treasure boxes there are jelly beans inside. This birthday party was so awesome I had heaps of fun.

My Mum

Her hair is straight
like cardboard.

Her eyes are two
round maltesers.

Her hugs are warm and soft
as she squeezes me in her arms.

I love my mum so much
but she loves me more.

Day and Night

In the day students engage and teachers search for test papers on top of their messy desk.

In the night robbers loot the classroom and mice stare at them from on top of the solid desk.

A girl's Head

In it there is a mythical creature
and a project
for doing away with the dishes.

And there is
a spaceship
which shall come first.

And there is
an entirely  new kind of people.
an entirely new animal,
an entirely new creature.

There are people
that all look the same.

There is a car

There is anti-boredom

And it cannot be restrained.

I believe
that only what cannot be restrained
is a head.

There is much promise
in the circumstance
that so many people have heads.

Olympic Report

Olympic Report

Are you fascinated about the London olympic games? The olympics are very interesting and fun to learn about.  There are similarities and differences between the ancient and modern olympics.  The factors we have been looking at are the events, countries involved, prizes, participants and uniforms.

As I was learning about the olympics I found out that in the ancient olympic games women were not allowed to participate or watch, so they would dress as men to watch their sons compete in the games.  Now in the modern olympics games people from all different countries come and compete at the olympics, and women are allowed to compete and watch.    

In the modern olympics people from different countries come and compete at the olympics.  In the ancient olympics only the greek city states were allowed to compete such as Sparta, Athens, Megara, Corinth and Argos.

In the ancient olympics the competitors that were competing were proud of their bodies so they would compete naked with oil all over them.  In the modern olympics the competitors wear a uniform such as: shorts and a singlet or t-shirt.  

In the ancient olympics the competitors  who came first, second, or third received prizes of laurel leaves.  In the modern olympics the winners receive gold, silver, and bronze medals.  Also if the men started falsely they would get whipped.  Today if you false start in the sprint events you get disqualified.

The sports that were involved in the ancient olympics were: chariot races, boxing, wrestling, running, equestrian, discus, pentathlon and javelin.  Now in the modern olympics we have more sports such as: athletics, aquatics, equestrian, and combative oriental sports.


There are many comparisons and contrasts between the ancient and modern olympics.  We have found out that the modern olympics and the ancient olympics are similar but have differences in some ways.  The factors we have been learning about are: the events, countries involved,  prizes, participants and uniform.  The olympics are interesting and fun to learn about.

This is just to say

I have eaten

the chocolates
that were in
the cupboard.

And which
you were probably
saving
for yourself.

Forgive me
they were sweet
so rich
and so tasty.

All Blacks vs France

The moment that I will remember is The All Blacks against France. I was extremely excited because it was the last match for the Rugby World Cup and The All Blacks made it!

At home it was my whole family watching the game.The game was on Sunday, October 23rd. As soon as The All Blacks performed their haka we all got up and joined in. The haka was just AMAZING!!! Then Haley Western was singing the National Anthem. The National Anthem came on and we were all singing proudly.It was like the whole house was going to explode.

Kick Off!Yeah!! as my sister shouted. My mum and dad were in the room watching it. As soon as they kicked off my mum shouted ‘GO’!!! So my dad got up and walked to the living room. The game was Awesome but The All Blacks did not play their best game. The game was played at Eden Park,the best stadium of stadiums in history.

I really enjoyed the game. It was extremely AMAZING!!!!! My favourite moment of Rugby World Cup was to see The mighty All Blacks win the Web Ellis Cup!!!!

Working With Miss G.

On Monday 22 of August Rm 5 and Rm 6 got their brand new netbooks. It was so amazing. As soon as the netbooks came, the teachers handed it out to the students. There was my own little netbook in front of me. Today I was full of excitement. I was ready to explore my netbook. As soon as we opened  it my eyes couldn't be taken off and I could smell that fresh smell. My netbook was just so wonderful. When we logged on the screen was just so clean and fresh. When I got my netbook it was fantastic.
I am so lucky to get one of these amazing netbooks.
