Flying Foxes

 If I could have a super power it would be teleportation because i could pick I place just go there. There would be no delay. For a example if you are late for work just with a snap you can be there. If your in a bad situation can get out of there really quickly.

You are my Sunshine

Ever one loves spending time in the sun but the thing is is that if you can get skin cancer. So here is three ways to stop that from happening. 1 is to wear a hat. 2 is to put sunscreen on. 3 is to stay hydrated. Make sure to put sunscreen frequently so you don't get burned.

Togs or Trackies?

I think it is better to come to New Zealand in the summer become it is warm and lots of pools will be open . This is three reasons to go to New Zealand. We have the luge which is so fun to go to. the luge is in Rotorua. We have really nice beaches every where. There is a bunch of good hikes as well. The longest hike in new zealand is Te Araroa trail it stretches for a long 3000k.

Caged Animals

Me and my class are doing activity's on a story called The Black Hat and it is about animal cruelty.

Term Three Maths

 This term's maths has been good. I have learned a lot in this term. One thing that I did was the times tables. I did this all of them in under three minutes and there were all cinbindid. Then there is a thing called prodotec. You can do times tables and you can do stages. I got up to stages seven and got 95%. Now my goal is to get 100% in other three minutes.

Music

Today it is Thursday and we had violin with Fran I liked it because we got to play different pixsecarto. It was fun. First we put some rosin` on the bow and got the violin. Then we got to just get usted to tit and play some songs. Then fran showed us something on the violin it was that we had a finger chart on our violin. So we could see were we were putting our fingers. At first I found it a little hard I got the hang of it.  Athe very end we did a song that was sorta hard but no to to hard. Then we left.

 

One day at camp

 Today was good we started off with free time it was good. We got to go to the tramps at the playground for most of my times . after that I got ready for kayaking. The kayaking was good we got to stand up on the kayaks and say our name and what we like do to do in our spare time. After that we did a huge water fight and  slashed the instructor and she splashed me back.

When the water fight was over I hopped out of the kayak and put a towel around me and went to my cabin. I took a shower. The I went to the meeting place and went with the person that took our activity group to team anicites.

We did not do much we just tried to  balance a whole group on a  seesaw and a log . Then we try to fit a whole group through a spider web shaped thing and it had all different shapes. I dove thought the skinniest one so everybody else didn't have to go through that one that really skinny shape. Then I went back to  my cabin just chilled in the cabin to dinner time. After that I went to sleep.

Tuna/Eel Life-cycle

 There are six different stages in the tuna eels life and I will tell you what there are called and they can do in those different stages. 

The eggs hatch at the top of the ocean's surface. And becomes larvae.

 The larvae needs to get to their destination which is land, the larvae uses the ocean current to float to land.

Next, when they reach land they hatch and become glass eels.

 Then, when they reach breeding size there body changes like the colour of their bellies and the shape of their head.

Next, they get new abilities like climb a small waterfall.

Finally when they become adults there body become bigger and fatter after many years living in freshwater they go to the salt water.

movie review

 Naruto shippuden movie one.

I think the movie is good but not the best. There are all ninjas trying to protect the princess because someone is trying to kill her. They are trying to kill her because she can tell how people will die, and the guy that want to kill the princess because he wants to take over the world. The part I like the most is when Naruto avoids death. he almost died but the princess saved him by putting her bell on him just before he was going to get stabbed. The bell makes you almost invisible also the guy that was trying to kill the girl died. The guy was not complete bad but he unleashed the baddest spirit into himself. That when all of the bad stuff starts to happen but the people from the hidden leaf, which is a town, helped by getting they top ninjas and putting them into fight. As always it is a happy ended like normal.

Writing

They had always been together, for as long as he could remember. They had always been the best of friends. She had taught him everything he knew, relentlessly preparing him for life in the outside world..

This was the moment they had both been waiting for...

I was with her for 10 year she taught me everything I know about the outside world. It was time for her to let go. She let me out of my leash but then she said “Come with me I need to show you where you are going stay” 

We were walking for a month of Sundays. It had been one hour of walking then we got there. It was paradise . There was also a tower of giraffe. There were trees so many trees that I could munch on. There was a fresh water as well. I was happy as a child on Christmas day. Then I had to let go of her, the person that taught me everything. I said goodbye and so did she as well. I was crying but I think she was as well. My heart sunk like rock in the river when she left. I was hunger and took a bite of the grass it was as sweet as sugar. Then I when to sleep.

Me and my class are doing quick writes, thing one we were working on similes.

This was for fun with me and my friends
 

The olympics

 I am on the podium for mtb. I have won gold.I am in front of the hole world on the tv. Let me tell you how I got here.

   One day I got up and got a message from the head of the olympics. Would you want to join the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for mtb. Of course I said yes to that. I packed my stuff and headed off. Straight away I went to qualifying. It was pretty hard, it was a massive course. it was 15km and lots of straightaways. Which is not that fun. There were two pine forests and they were quite long as well. I started the track. It was hard. Everyone was in front of me. I was coming second to last. It was quite weird because all the tracks are shaped weirdly . There was a footpath on the track but it was made for mountain bikers. It had little jumps and big jumps the hardest parts were the pine forest. The downhill Slopes had lots of rocks and you couldn't break because the conditions were really rainy. It was muddy and horrible but I actually ended up coming 2nd. I qualified for the Tokyo Olympics. I went home and got some rest in my apartment. And the next 2 days I will be doing a race. 

Those two days passed really quickly. I was training most of the time but I also was trying to get a good rest. I woke up that day and tried to not feel nervous. Then we were at the starting line. All of us were at the starting line. Then  I started in a good position. There was a bang of the gun going off. I worked my little legs so hard that they almost fell off. But I still had a long way to go. I was in the front then we entered the first pine forest. It was nothing like qualifying. It was wet. My bracks got cut on a branch. right behind me and I knew there was a ciff  so I hopped off my bike and started walking it to the other side of the track and then I hop back on and started to pedal. Then there was a downhill part. I forgot that my brakes were cut. So I tried to stop with my feet but I fell off. The good thing was that I was in front by so much. That no one could catch up to me. The finish line was right there. I got on my bike and then zoomed so fast to the finish line and that is how I won a goal in tokyo 2020 Olympics.

My Holiday

  In The second week of the holidays, Cooper asked me if I wanted to go to the wave pool in Porirua and go carting. So I said yes. Cooper's mum picked me up. On the car ride up I was so excited to go to the wave pool cause I have never been there before. Cooper took other friends as well. We were going to wave pools first and then we were going to go-carting after we had been to the wave pool. We were there and there was a side and the wave part of the pool but it made waves every 30 minute so I went to the side first. There was a slope to the slide at the very first part. So me and my friends dived into the slide. Then I hopped into the pool because a bell goes off every time the pool is going to make waves, which was good because you could hear it on the other side of the pool. The bell went off so I went to the wave pool side and hopped in it felt like I was drowning. I got stuck under the waves. It was a little bit scary But the other times I went in it I was fine tho. On the other side of the building there was a spot where you could boom. That was cool because not muck pools let you do that. But the only thing is, the pool was so deep. After we did that we just chilled in the lazy river. Finally we got dressed and we headed to get some food.

We were getting pizza. I got meat lovers. We ate it at the skate park. When we were finished eating, we played there and Kupa hurt him so we left. Two days later we found out that he broke it. Then we went go carting. We were just on time. My go cart was not working like the other one. I got Fergus bump me on the straight a ways I was going sort of fast. Then we went. It was a good day out.

The Boy In The Tower

 Me and my class are reading a book called the boy in the tower.

My Cross Country

 

I woke up and it was the cross country. I got ready and went to school. We walk to the place we are going to do it. We started to walk up to the start line.I was shaking and my stomach was sure. And we were off to the race. My legs were shaking. But I tried. It was with all the school so they were some really fast people. It was the year 6s. It was a big run and so long it felt like it never ended. But I did it anyway. It was the first lap and I was not doing so well. But the next lap I got to the front of the pack. But I was not first. On the third lap I was still in the same place but I was happy where I was. I was so tired. Through the bush I had a mad stitch. I had just keeped on going. At last it was over. I had crossed the line. It was over. I had can 12th place.

My Ride

 It was that start of the day and me, my Mum, my Dad and my sister Hannah we're heading out to the motorbike ride that was at 9 o'clock. It was so early when it was time to go my Dad asked, have you got everything to me and my sister. We replied with, yes. Ok said my Dad. We loaded up the motorbike and we were off.  We finally got there and we saw all of the cars. 

We had to drive 2km to get to the parking spot. It was a long way when we got to the part where you would sign in. The track that  we would be riding on is 18km. We signed in, had a meeting and we were off to the ride. It started off pretty easy but then we went through so many pine forests. I was in the wrong Gear, I went into a wheelie. My front tire was so high up in the air. The funny part was when we were on the hill and I see were my mum was and then I face planted into the ground. We got back and then me and my sister went on the little track it had one jump it sent me flying. We packed up and went home and that was my day.
