  MY GOALS

If you give me a name of a story I will change the story into my own words. I love maths and I am in MrTs maths class. At home I like playing on my scooter, PlayStation, Ipod and with my dog Benji and family. I play football in the summer and winter and my team and I won our competition last year which was awesome. My goals at school this year are to; totally master the times tables and maintain my decimals ; improve my standard of presentation; and maintain my reading progress.

    QUINNEYS BUSH 2013

My favourite thing about camp was the abseiling and kayaking (and the food) it was cool that everyone had fun and was laughing.

WHY WE GO ON CAMP.
To learn more about the outdoors and what they did in the olden days. And to also learn more about each other.

Laurence Stephen Lowry

Lowry is famous for painting scenes of life in the industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20th century. He developed a distinctive style of painting and is best known for urban landscapes peopled with human figures often referred to as "matchstick men". He also painted mysterious unpopulated landscapes, brooding portraits, and the unpublished "marionette" works, which were only found after his death.

QUINNEY'S BUSH

We went on school camp on 11 March 2013 to Quinney's Bush. We stayed for 4 nights. We slept in tents. We did a confidence course, went kayaking, slid down the water slide and had turns on the flying fox.
I enjoyed kayaking the most.

MY GOALS

My goals are to put more effort in my reading because I keep on missing out words.  My next goal is to write neater because it looks really messy.  My third goal is to get all of my work done because
I never finish it.

Camp 

 

 

At camp my favourite thing was kayaking.  I fell twice as I haven't been in a kayak before.  It was FUN.  I didn't stay in the kayak because my head hurt.

CAMP 2013

On a lovely Tuesday morning, room four went in groups and drove off in some cars that some generous people drove.  We were all SO hyper and couldn't wait to get to Quinney's bush.  It was SO awesome getting there and sitting in our own tents with some mates.  I shared my tent with Emma, as she is a lovely friend of mine. Mr B said that we could have free time after we all put our tents up, and me and Emma immediately raced over to the tyre swing and took turns pushing each other on it.

  We all gaped at the water slide and just couldn't wait to get on it and whizz down.  When I did get on it I knew straight away that it would be my favourite part.  To feel your hair lifting off your shoulders and water being sprayed all over your face was magnificent.

 I couldn't wait until spotlight at night as that was my second favourite thing. 

HOW TO PLAY SPOTLIGHT:

1 Two parents stand at a base

2 You try to touch the base without the parents seeing you

3 The parents only have a torch
4 You win!!

The next few days was awesome and I'll mention some of the activeties.... the water slot (the water slide, swimming in the river, and kyaking and raft making), and the flying fox and also the obstacle course.   I had soo much fun and I'd like to thank Mr B and all the parents who helped us.

2~ It is named after the goddess of love and beauty
3~ Venus's surface is mostly volcanoes.

BOOK WEEK

Every year Parkland's school has a book week.  Book week is to inspire kids to read.
During the week, we have D.E.A.R  ( drop everything and read),  other teachers coming in after lunch to read to us and we had a Roald Dahl quiz and I did quite well.  On Friday, we had the parade. The parade is for advertising our school.  I dressed up as Hermione Granger from the novel 'Harry Potter'.  My sister dressed up as Harry Potter and my friend Emma dressed up as 'the cat in the pjamas' . Oh yes, I almost forgot,  this boy called Jason said he would be dressed up as a fairy.  At first I thought it was just one of his jokes, but amazingly he actually did!  We had a funny, amusing and great day!!!!

23~9~13    Term 3

PABLO PICASSO

This term, Parkland's school has been focusing on our term topic,  I am an Artist.  Being an artist isn't just about painting and drawings, but also acting, singing, and playing music.

Room 4 has been studying artists, like Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Sarah Greenwood and of course the man I've been studying, Pablo Picasso.  Pablo Picasso is mostly know for his cubism.  Cubism is a way of painting, using cubes and shapes.  He used cubism a lot, he used it for his famous painting the musicians.  He had the rose period, and the blue period.  Periods are when the artist has a period of time where the artist has a liking of a type of painting, and uses it for a period of time.  Pablo always said "art is a lie that makes us realise the truth."

............................................................................................................

My name is Alexa and I love to help others. I think I'm pretty good at maths.  One thing I know that I need to improve on is times tables. 

Sometimes I can have a laugh and I can be serious. I love the colours purple, green and blue. I think I need to improve on being a neater at writing. I absolutely hate fitness becuase I am very bad at it, especially running. But I love netball. I think I am a great at swimming I am the best at breast stroke and  freestyle than anything else. I need to inprove on my butterfly and backstroke. I love to dive and bomb. Art is so much fun I love to paint, draw and create.   

MY FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT CAMP

Well I don't  really have a favourite thing about camp but I did like the waterslide, flying fox, river, rafts,   hamics, burgars, bivouacs, and lots of other things. What I meant by I dont have a favourite its becuase I liked every thing we did the best. Thanks Mrb so much for tacking as to camp I had a great time and I learnt alot about the oldern days and gold.

TOKU KORERO NA DUAN

Hello!!  My name is Duan.   

ME AND MY GOALS 2013!

My goals for 2013 are to improve at writing, my tables, being neat when writing and taking off my hat in class.  I really like science and maths because some of the questions are a challange but most of it is easy.  

ROOM  CAMP 2013

On Tuesday 12th of March, I woke up to my demonic sister poking me in the ribs, so I told her to beep off and with that I got out of bed, ate breakfast and got ready for school/camp!  

When we arrived the senior area was swarming with people, they almost looked like worker bees in human form.  I got all of my camp stuff and put it on Mr Inch's trailer, then I went inside the class to  play with my lego just as the bell rang so I put it where I often put it, by the computer and radio, then I sat at my desk with a book.  Mr B said some stuff and then we organized our cars and groups.  It took forever to do and finally they said my name with Jason, Daniel and Mr B in Jason's Inch's car.  We walked over to the car and jason said: nice ride!  

Man this is so light

Our okay bivouak !



W hat the Duck!
