The rain came crashing towards the ground with a splish, splash! The violent storm was a break out.
 The wind howled as pushing the sea against the dock. Boats waving side to side. People getting pushed on the right and fighting against the wind.
 “Time freezes most of the time,” grandfather coughed. I didn't want him to go at a terrible time like this, but instead grandmother was on the way. So I served up some hot tea and sat by the fire place. Hours speed up but problems were on the way.
Where was grandmother?

A phone call came..........

“Looks like a rainy day today kids” Dad said while looking out the window.
“Looks like a storm” Mum added.  Shortly after Mum left thunder crackled.  
“What are we going to do” Joe said miserably.
“We could watch TV or play a board game” Kiara suggested. Joe walked over to the window and gasped.
 “What is it?” Kiara asked.
“A tree just flew past the window” Joe whispered.
“What, that’s impossible” Kiara said as she walked over to the window, all of a sudden a tree whirled past. The ground was flooding. The violent storm was turning into a hurricane.

He’s red; he’s hot and ready to come get you. His name is the king of hell or the devil of the earth. He likes to give a good scare at night time he would lay under your bed ready to give you a scare, also like to sit in the pictures on the walls and stare at you for hours.
Does it feel like someone is watching you?

Well the devils scaring days are over he needs somewhere to stay, so he built the haunted house. But he still like to give a few scares once in a wielded.

Thursday 24 October 2013

Last minute preparation

Crunch day for PrEP

Today is 'crunch day' for Room 6. In a matter of hours the stalls will open and we will have our first customers for Market Day 2013.

The businesses are very busy with the final touches and cant wait to start selling their products.


Rainbow


We are selling chocolate cups and ice cream. To make these chocolate cups we had to melt some chocolate in the microwave it was really hard for us because we weren't allowed to eat it.
Our first balloon that we dipped into the chocolate popped because the chocolate was way to hot.
and then we attempted it again then we kinda got a bit to excited because our next five worked.
Before we popped the balloons we had to release them a bit by pushing the balloons away from the chocolate.
Once we are finished we are going to serve them with ice-cream sprinkles and sauces.

Then after we made a few of those we had realised that we hadn't made any decorations yet.
I got to work mixing food colouring into some white chocolate, we soon found out that mixing to much colouring with the chocolate made it stiffen a bit.
We grabbed some cookie cutters and rolled our chocolate out like dough.
We cut out a few shaped and left them to harden.




B.M.S

Our group name is B.M.S we are selling Rock art, Name string and wooden letters. The rock art comes in all different sizes we have small, medium and large. The large costs twenty five MISMS, the medium costs twenty MISMS and the small is fifteen MISMS, the rock art is made up of a rock with small glass pebbels glued on. We have two types of rock art, the second type has pink pebbles stuck on instead of glass pebbles. The glass pebbles come in blue, red and clear. 

The other things we made is Name String some of the words we have are: Memory, Grow, Love, Joy, Dream, Life, Hope and Faith.  The Name String is made up of wood with nails nailed on as block letters, and the string is wound around the nails to make up the block letters.

Also we have Wooden Letters, some of the words we have are: Love, Live and Hope. The Wooden Letters are made up of thick wood and thin wood. At first we drew the letters onto the thin wood, then we cut them out with one of the schools saws. After that we got Mr Yardly to cut out the thick wood. We painted the block letters black and stuck them on the thick wood.





Where does this go???

She had two pointy teeth; they looked as if they could slice me in half. She had long black hair that went down past her feet. Her eyes were as black as night. She was so pale… She was floating, just hovering above the ground. In her hand was a crooked, rusty old key. She had a dark red stain on her grey dress… She looked thirsty. “What’s your name” I asked her.
“People call me Marceline the Vampire queen”   She said it softly... But I still kept my distance. "I see you built my house” she whispered " Now get off my property"

It was the day of the Halloween night. The first victim came to the front door. I heard the next victim coming close behind. I swooped out of the window. I was waiting silently behind them I tapped his shoulder. He slowly turned around he looked confused because he saw nothing there. Then suddenly right then smack dam I dove my eyes right into his face there was no movement from him for about five seconds. Out of his horrifying mouth was a terrifying scream I felt like I was in a horror movie and that’s why people love Halloween.

Australia Zoo, MT Tamborine.

In the holidays I went to Austalia.My Aunty my Grandma my brother and I went  to a place called MT Tamborine. There were lots of rainbow lorikeets they were very funnybecause they kept trying to steal our sugar packets and have a bath in our drinks.

I also went to Australia Zoo we saw lots of animals there and I got to hold and pat some.  My favorite Animals were the snakes.

I held a baby aligator and I got to pat a koala. The Aligator was very soft and squishy. the Koalas fur was very hard and not very soft.

We went into the Red Kangroos habitat. We bought some Kangaroo food and feed them. I was worried that the Kangaroo was going to jump up and kick me but they were very sleepy so I  wasnt that scared.
My favorite part of visting the Zoo was holding the Burmese Python. It was cold and heavy and very very smooth. I got a bit scared when it started to wrap its self around me. The Zoo keeper told me to sit up staight to help hold the weight of the snake. It was the greatest 60 seconds of my life.

This is the story of how the sun blew up. The day started like any normal day, I got up ate breakfast got dressed and watched T.V. My friend called and asked if I wanted to go to the beach, I asked if I could go.  And as always she said yes. While I was walking to my friend’s house a gust of wind blew around me. “What??” slowly the sky got darker the sun was shrinking. I ran home as fast as I could. By the time I reached my house it was pitch black. “Mum!” I yelled out.

“Wake up” my aunty screamed like a horn.
As the time ticked to 6:00am in the morning, my family and I left to go to Auckland.
As we just left Hamilton, my cousins and I fell to sleep as we were on the busy motorway, My cousin posted them up on Facebook to let everyone see it. As we got to Auckland we went to Mangere markets and brought packets of meat and lollies. Slowly the sky got darker as we were coming back to Hamilton around 6:00pm we had a slow race to see who was home first.

Giant Oarfish

THE OARFISH

Today on the news we saw an article about the Oarfish
We were interested in this huge fish so started to do some research. We created a scale diagram and added some facts around it.

The rest of the school were interested and it started lots of talking. Some people though it was an eel.

The oarfish measures 17m long

Everything changed my mind. Where was I?
I wondered around, all I can see was sand swishing side to side. My mind stopped, and told me I was in the worst deserted desert, The ………….., something caught my eye.
 Water, trees, a camel! A person! A village! Maybe my mind was playing tricks with me, but I ran, shouting and crying. I was in pain. I tripped over my own foot and tumbled over. Sand was in my eyes, it stung. I kept my eyes closed and wondered off the wrong direction.

Slowly the sky got darker… I panicked… I fainted…

Nets



We stared off with skecting a net for a 3D shape. We then stared to cut out some shape nets that Mr Willis already printed off for us. The shapes that we were cutting out we're pyramids, octahedrons, and truncated tetrahedron. Once the shapes were cut out we needed to glue the flaps and stick them together creating a 3 dimensional shape.

League taster session

Today we were lucky enough to have a Rugby League Taster session thanks to the team at kiwi sport and project energise.

They taught us some new games. We had to run around and when a number was called we had to get into a group of that many.  We also played mass tag. Everyone was in and if you got tug you had to sit down. The only way to get back in was if the person who tug you go tug.  It was lots of fun and we had to dodge, duck and sidestep lots.

We then practised some drills.
