T3 W4 Netball Tournament

Schools all ready, referees steady, the whistles blow like a confetti. We versed heaps of schools. We won all our games but unfortunately we lost in the finals against Sylvia Park School. Even though we didn’t come first we were all overjoyed. We came second. Yay!   At the end of the day we did our school proud.

THANKS Madd Mesenger!! :)

I just want to thank Madd Mesenger for saying very inspiring things like who invented the light bulb and how that "you are one of a kind" and even more stuff...THANKS Madd Messenger AGAIN :) 

Graphic Technology, Thanks Mrs Pineda!!

We are learning to shade and outline as we sketch. AND we were learning other ways to draw word art.

In Other Words

In Other Words

Long ago where time stood still was a poem. The poem told us a way that people used to live. These people were called “Strugglers” who lived their lives as shocking as a fish leaping out of deep water. They spoke with sharp tongues that hit you like a light stabbing through a row of trees. They prayed to their gods boldly by opening up their eyes during prayer time.

One Struggler said to the other one “Stop snoring you noisy cow you’re keeping me awake in the middle of the night, you're torturing my ears. GO SLEEP IN THE BUSH!!”

“Every minute of everyday of my every life has been a nightmare when you snore.” The Struggler banished him to the library in the bush.

So the Struggler lived happily ever after.     zzzzzzzz

In Other Words (This is the original poem)

A poem is a way

of knowing you are alive

As shocking as a fish

leaping out of deep water

As sharp as light stabbing

through a row of trees

As bold as opening up

your eyes during prayer

As simple as lying awake

in the middle of the night

listening to the sound

of people

Every minute

of every day

of every life

is a full library

Preventing Eletric Injuries

Electrical injuries can happen at anytime but electrical injuries can happen at home and at school. When teachers or Mothers say “Don’t play with the cable!” to children, THEN CHILDREN SHOULD LISTEN!

People have been killed playing with electrical devices and have been admitted to hospitals for burns caused by touching wired fences, live wires, cords and even tipping water on playstation and many more things.  

Now, scientist should be doing something about this by making electrical appliances more safer.

    Electrical equipments that can cause injuries are:

• Toaster
• Washing Machine
• socket
• light bulb
• water and machine
• electrical pens
• playstation
• overheated laptop
• projector
• chromebook
• lightning
• fire

   Injuries:

• electrical shocks
• blindness
• burns
• scalding
• death

These are some reasons “why”  children should not and do not play with machines or electrical equipment.

T2 W5 Preventing illness

An illness is a sickness that affects the mind (mental illness) and the body (physical illness) due to your immune system breaking down.

Some of the “physical illnesses”  include coughing, sneezing, having the flu and many more but notice that it also makes many people sad, angry and frightened. Plus lots of doctor are trying to look for treatment to treat these illnesses.

Hokule'a Landing

It was a long day...

Firstly we started getting everyone together in lines. A few more minutes later the teachers did a speech saying “ When you walk, walk sensibly,  When we walk, walk together and be safe.”

Once we arrived near Point England we started to see other schools like Panmure Bridge, Glen Innes and many more schools.

 I never knew that colleges and a heap more schools would come. All of a sudden we had to stop. At some point we realized that other schools were going first to the beach. That’s why we stopped.

Afterwards we finally arrived at the beach and we sat where our sign had the name of our school. Once we sat down I sensibly asked my teacher if I could take photos. Ten minutes later the boat that all the schools saw was moving back and forwards for some reason.

Finally the Hawaiians came and all the schools started to do the haka. But it was kind of weird because some schools were singing the song too late and some too early. After the Haka was finished some old man did a speech for them and they did one for us. Man, we had to sit for hours but I was too busy taking photos of the schools and people doing the haka.

Lastly we finished with a karakia and all the schools had to Hi-5 the Hawaiians and off we went back to school.

THE END.
