Mystery Creek

Crackle, crackle as our feet crunched on the silver shining stones. We had filled up our jar of marbles and we decided to go to Mystery Creek. 
After Mr Riley had explained how Mystery Creek came about, he gave us a piece of paper which had all of the olden days things on it, then he also gave us an ipad and a pen.We ran over to the school. That's where our first olden day thing was.We searched like we were looking for gold. 
When we had found the s logo, we went to the  next place which was the church. 
After we had found the round s shape, we went to the next place.

Patterson Park

Yesterday, some of our school went to Paterson Park . We arrived there and all of the other schools  from Nguawahia went as well. We started with a karakia.  
We started the games. I was centre. The referee blew the whistle. My heart raced as the game started. I threw the ball powerfully to Kruz. As she ran out, the ball raced into her hand. She caught it. She passed it to our team mates. The other team defended us and they got the ball. Our team raced down the dirty court. I couldn't go in the circle. The ball leaped slowly into the shiny goal. We went back to the bright yellow starting line. The other team threw the ball to their team mates. We were powerfully jumping, trying to get the ball to Makayla.
Clap! Clap! Everyone clapped. Go Saint Paul's. We got a goal. Everyone yelled, "Yay! Yay! 
It was half time. We went back on to the court. Holly and I were off. We lost against Waipa but we still played good then Holly and I went and bought a sausage. It was delicious, then I bought Holly and me an ice block. It was a yum. It was called a Moosie. I got a cookie and cream and Holly got a chocolate one. They both were yum.

Alision Shanks

Alison Shanks visited our school today.  She told us, "You have to train your brain to go to the Olympics." 
She showed us her bike that she raced in the Olympics. Her bike isn't like any other bike. Our bikes have holes in the tyre wheels but their's don't. They don't have holes in their bike wheels because it slows them down.
She showed us her gold medal that she won. She won her gold medal in 2010. Mr Emms picked 5 people to help her hold things up. Mr Emms picked Jac, Theo, Taj, Georgia and Jaxon. Jaxon, Theo, Taj and Georgia got to hold the NZ flag and the Olympic NZ flag.
Jac got to get into her NZ biking suit and hold her gold mantle. She passed the medal around the whole school. She told us the first time she went to the Olympics, she got scared when the countdown started. 
When she was getting ready to go, lots of people got her signature and then we all watched the women rugby sevens lose against Australia but they got a silver medal.

The BFG


Piper 28/7/16 Bfg
Me and my Brother and Mum walked  to the movies to see the BFG in the holidays. We brought candy floss and popcorn and drinks. As the movie started I got goose bumps .The movie started.
Sophie lived in a foster home. She read a book about the BFG she said ‘’Never go to the curtain
never look at the window and never get out of bed ’’She saw the BFG wonderley walking around. He was knocking over bins  and he saw Sophie out of her bed and stuck his big  hand into the bed and snatched   her out of her bed. He jumped over hills  and when he  got to his cave he put a big grey rock in front of the door. She was frightened until she saw that the BFG was a kind giant. One of the big giants came in and liked to eat little girls and boys and she hid in one of the BFG's vegetable. The big giant left and she came out from hiding. Hello are you home and in came the big ugly giant. He was pushing the BFG, after the giant had left she said why do you let them treat you like that well I don't have a choice do I. The other ginormous giants realised that the BFG  had a girl. They had the BFG on top of a little car throwing him from side  to side making big crashing noises . The BFG took her away and showed her where he caught his dreams. All the Giants came rushing into his house and knocked over all his dreams and were wreaking his house .They were sniffing around the house but they didn't find Sophie because she was hiding in a big green tree and then the BFG sent them out of the house and Sophie said ‘’We need a plan’’ she said ‘’You should go and show that giants are real and that they are eating little girls and boys and so they whipped up a dream and went to England to see the queen and so they blew a colourful dream into the queen's room, and the queen dreamed that Sophie would be sitting at her white window sill . She dreamed that giants were eating boys and girls and she woke up and told her daughter and son about the dream. She saw Sophie sitting at her shinning white window sill and she let her in and Sophie told her about the giants and  she called the BFG the ‘’BFG and she kept calling and finally the BFG came and the guards went running out and she couldn't believe her eyes he went inside and he accidently knocked of the shiny chandelier , and the servant came in bringing a really big tray of big brown eggs and a coffee for the BFG the BFG was mind blown , and some breakfast in for Sophie, he and the queen and Sophie ate the pudding and then the BFG spat the brown coffee all other the gaurds and then the BFG said do you want a drink and the queen asked why are the bubbles going down then up and the BFG gave some to everyone even the dogs,  everyone farted and the queen tried to hold it in but she couldn't  and the dogs went farting up the stares the queen said let's go get the giants and they went and got the giants and the BFG grew a garden of green vegetables. The other giants got dumped somewhere else. The end
