Procedural Writing

Today I was doing Procedural Writing it was so awesome, its bast on you telling someone how to do something or what to do.  

Tracking Animals

Today I read this book called Tracking Animals, its a really good book for those who want to know where animals are.

Netball Session Description

Today at netball I learnt how to do all sorts of netball skills such as faking all your passes, stepping, chest passing, shooter driving to and fro, goal shoots, different passing and the right way to catch and something that i've never heard before its called swift movement. Some of them was hard but most of them were pretty easy. When I was trying all the netball skills I was scared because some of these skills I did not know because I don't play netball that much, so I just went with what everyone else was doing. It is a good experience for those who really want to play netball but don't have the time to or don't know how to play it. Netball is a good game for those who want to get fit. Netball is a great game for everyone you also need to support each other and make sure we do not put down anyone no matter who it is.

Tread Lightly Caravan

Today I learnt if you brush your teeth and leave the tap on you are not protecting the earth because you are wasting a lot of water, and in earth we need a lot water to survive, and when you are taking a shower you it should only take you about 10-15 minutes, the longer you use the shower the less water earth gets.

The things that I will do to save the earth is make sure when I brush my teeth that I turn off my tap so there is more water for other people to survive. Now i'm gonna tell my family to take shorter showers.

I think its good to save the earth so we all have a happy, lovely fantastic world to live in and we can all help each other keep the world alive. I also think everyone else should start making changes for our beautiful world.

Maths Whizz

Today I was on Maths whizz is was so cool I learn new things everyday, Maths is good for you.

China's Treasure

Today I read this story called China's Treasure it was an awesome book it made me get pictures in my head.

Orienteering!!!!

Wednesday 15th April 2013

On Wednesday the 15th some of the Glenbrae students went to the Waitiki Reserve  for Orienteering. When it was my groups turn we ran as quick as flashes, we had to split up because we all had different controls points to go to and all our maps were different. Some of us had the one or two numbers that was the same so we just followed each other until we had no numbers that were the same then we went off on our own. It was so muddy, we I first started it was a little bit cold then when we were running around it was getting so hot. That was the tiring thing I've ever done, but it was still so fun and I did it for Glenbrae school.

My Fantastic Easter weekend!!!!!

Wednesday 4th April 2013

On Easter weekend, on Saturday bright and early me and family went to go get our Easter eggs for Easter Sunday, then later on that day me and my little sister couldn't wait for Easter the next day. Our mum said to put all our Easter eggs together just incase someone does a sneak peak. Then me and my sister went to sleep thinking about the next day.

On Sunday morning my mum came and woke me up and said (come on we have to go to church) and I replied (REALLY) she said yes now get up, so i got up and said why do I have to go church my mum just said yes for the last time so then i got ready. it was just me and my mum going to church, when we got there they had already started we just walked in and sat next to my anuty and my cousin. When church finished me and my mum asked our cousins of they wanted to come with us to the beach and they OK so we quickly went back to my house cause we were leaving at 1:00 and our church finished at 12:30 but we got back in time, that we still had a little time to get changed.

We went to the beach at 1:30 I forgot what the name was and we had a BBQ my uncle was cooking the food when me and my mum came out of the beach it was like I just came out a huge piece of ice man it was SO cold, I couldn't even move I was just taking little steps at a time then I made it up and I just sat next to the BBQ we were there until 5:00 then we came home and ate our Easter eggs me and my little sister were sharing with each other we really enjoyed our day. And since we had Monday and Tuesday off school we just relaxed and waited to go school on Wednesday.

My Easter weekend was the best, I enjoyed it , loved it and my best part was spending it with my family.

Awesome trip to MOTAT!!!!

Wednesday 16th of April

We went to Motat to learn about Simple Machines and a little bit more about Transport.

When we arrived at MOTAT we first assembled at the place that we had to return to for our lunch breaks and other big group talks. The MOTAT instructor Melissa, told us what we are doing for the day with our group, the adult who was taking care of my group  was Mrs D.

The first place we went to was the place where they have some olden day transport.  After that we went to look at the steam house. The boiler had the fire going but the water was not hot enough for the steam to start collecting. The boiler room  was  full of pictures of cars and some information about each of those cars.   When and where the cars were made and when they were first driven was also stated in the information.  The boiler had the fire going but the water was not hot enough for the steam to start collecting.

Then we went for our tram ride and on our return  we went into the challenge zone and we were doing a very hard challenge. The people in my group were really smart and we  were all doing that challenge.  Finally we finished it.

After that we went to the mirror maze just to have a little bit of fun. Then we had to go for our lunch and  wait for Malessa so that we could go for our class lesson about simple machines.  She told us all about  what kind of simple machines there are. During the last 10-20 minutes we had to build a simple machine.

I listened very hard when Melissa was talking about the simple machines because I didn't know what simple machines were or what they do or where they come from. I learnt that simple machines are mechanisms that provide mechanical advantage to make life easier and its an object to make our tasks  easier.  Examples of simple machines are wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, screws and levers.

I really enjoyed my time at MOTAT because I was able to experience a lot of things that I didn't  know about. I am really looking forward to my next visit to MOTAT.

Narrative!!!!

On one hot summer day Anna and James went to the zoo there was very big Elephants and very loud Monkeys, the monkeys were jumping on very hot rocks. The Elephants were jumping for the colourful balloons in the air when they landed on the ground they made big stomps.

The Monkeys were crying for lemons then Anna said to James “I never knew monkeys like lemons.” Anna and James were too busy looking at the monkeys they forgot about the Elephants then the Elephants were very sad they ran away when the zookeeper left the gate open the Elephants ran in this big bush.

When Anna and James were finish feeding the monkeys they decided to go take a look at the big, giant, fat, Elephants when they went to look at the Elephants they saw that the gates were open they had a feeling that the Elephants had escape when they saw that the big, fat, giant Elephants were gone they were shocked.

Later on in the day Anna and James were crying that the Elephants were gone because that was their favorite animal then when James looked up he saw the big, fat, giant Elephants he said to Anna “LOOK IT’S THE BIG, FAT, GIANT ELEPHANTS” Anna though that James was lying, then the Elephants big feet was stomping on the ground.

Anna was so HAPPY that the Elephants were back where they belong and she said to the Elephants “I will never leave you big, fat, giants ever again. Then when they were driving back home there was a big storm it went on until they got home then it stopped Anna said “that was weird”, then they went inside their house and they were calm after a big storm. Then they had a wonderful, fabulous silent cool night.

Trip to MOTAT!!!!

Monday 25th March 2013

Last week on Thursday we went to Motat to learn about Transport. When we got  there we were put into groups. The first thing my group went to was the Tram Barn, the people who were in my group was Tama, Kato, Edwina, Phoenix, Christian and me. Our Adult was Mrs D she was so cool because she brought us  ice cream, she had no idea where we were going so we just went everywhere.

At 11:30 we went on our tram ride it was packed with other people, so some of us had to stand. We just went for a little ride and then came back, when we came back it was lunchtime after lunch we went with the instructor Anna she took us to this big room and told us to put some old fashion and new fashion cars in older, when we finished doing that she took us around Motat once again just so we could get more information about olden day transport.

We were looking around really quick because we had to leave at 2:00. Mrs D gave us a little bit of fun time and in that time we went to the mirror maze, it was so funny because we were bumping everywhere because it was full of mirrors, my whole group was just following each other, then in the end we found the way out, my group was going a lot of times so we could remember the way for next time we go there. Mrs D kept telling us (COME ON LETS GO) then we were so tired we went and lied down on the couches that were next to the mirror maze.

Then it was time to go back to school when we were in the bus I was so tired that I really wanted to go sleep but there was too much noise. It was so awesome i would like to go back there again.

Netball lesson....!!!

It was a nice sunny day and we were going to our netball lesson. The skills we learnt was how to block the other people from getting there try we were really animated and excited. We learnt how to chest past again just to go over it once more. We also learnt how to step people so it could be a little bit trickier, I was partners with Tame’e, it was so awesome. Our group names were the Bulldogs and my group name was outlaws.
