night 1

AAAAARRRRGH

That was not my impression of an angry pirate. It was me wondering WHY MY parents do not get me at all

I was not being rude or ungrateful when I made a simple suggestion at dinner. Mom was talking about everything she needs to buy for Thanksgiving and I made the very helpful suggestion that maybe Grandma Maxwell shouldn’t be in charge of bringing the pies this year.I mean come on Last year she didn’t have any cinnamon for her pumpkin pie so she used chili powder instead I am still traumatized

night 2

But then my mom snapped And WHO is supposed to make the pies  Nikki me I already have to make the turkey and stuffing and potatoes and green beans and...

look  I know my mom has a lot on her plate Thankfully I had another super helpful suggestion ready I’ve been seeing commercials for weeks that Pie’s the Limit is having a special of 3 take and bake pies for only $49.99 I even knew which three we should get

But that got my mom off on a rant about how money doesn’t grow on trees

and then Brianna started hollering about how cake is better than pie and finally my dad interrupted everyone to say he had a simple solution.

night 3

Let me just tell you right now that his solution was not as simple as mine

My dad said I should be in charge of making the pies That I am old enough to take some responsibility And I had to give him a list by the morning of whatever supplies I need

ugh So I went to research pie making options and got super overwhelmed and then Chloe called. She was so excited  when I told her my problems. Apparently her family’s Thanksgiving was suddenly cancelled because her Uncle Carlos has a mysterious illness and can only eat celery and chicken broth for the next week and no one wants to make him feel bad by devouring a big meal in front of him.

night 4

 I guess Chloe had big pie plans for her family so she’s heading over here today with all the supplies. Then tomorrow we're going to make the pies together I called Zoey to see if she could come too but she has a family thing.

With Chloe’s help this might actually be fun

Will you  be helping to cook a special dish for Thanksgiving or the upcoming holiday

Netball

Netball

I play netball at Campbell Park every Saturday morning. When I went there it was freezing cold and fog came out of my mouth, So we ran around the courts to get warmed up. BEEP!! the bell rings it's time to go on. I pass, catch, run and shoot and I do everything I can to be a good netball player.

I passed the ball to Jemma and Jemma passed it to Ella who shoots from far back.

The bell rings again for half time we go and have a quick drink and swap positions.

When the game was finished the coach announces the player of the day. I was so sweating  that I tipped my drink bottle over my head!

“That netball game was amazing” I said to my dad. I couldn't wait until next weekend.

Ella's birthday!!

Ella's birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLA!!!!! I yelled as I hopped out of  the car,The first thing we did was open presents. She was  screaming with joy as she opened them!

The music was cranking loud and we all started dancing like CRAZY!!!! Ella prepared the cool party food such as: marshmallows,pineapple chips and more. We made a play together and Jemma was the judge. Then we had cake and I face planted in it (on purpose!) it was time to go to bed at 11:00.  We swapped beds heaps of times. In the end I slept with Emma  and on the half flat airbed. When we woke up we had breakfast ella and I did a funny dance and showed the other girls.

Did you know that hub 2 moved into the hall? I’m sure you do. There are 75 kids in the hall so some days we work well, and some days we don’t because we are still getting used to it. So I am going to tell you what I like and don’t like.

Sometimes in the hall it's a bit of a challenge for me because with 75 kids it can be loud and I can get distracted with all my friends talking to me. Also I am just learning how to be a self aware learner, so I can get a bit distracted sometimes.

But mostly it's pretty good in the hall.  I really like how we can work with a buddy or by ourselves or even in a group if we want to.  We also get to choose where we want to work and we also get to choose what furniture we sit on.  I like to learn by sitting on the stools and the tables and I get to do this in the hall which is cool.  

You might think we would be distracted by the digger ripping down the class room but once you shut the door it's quiet. You can't hear a thing.

So overall I am really enjoying being in the hall and I am sad that I won’t get to be in the new classrooms.

My toe!!

One day I lost my pair of sunglasses and then someone called  over the loud speaker said if you have have lost a pair of sunglasses come to the office now. So i went to the office and while I was walking I stubbed my toe and the top of my toe came off so I went to the sick bay and they put a plaster on it then I went to the bus shelter and there was still blood dripping out so I went back to the sick bay and they put another plaster on my toe. Then my mum came to pick me up and she said you need to go to the doctors and I had to get butterfly stichers.   

 

What does a thermometer do???

For maths we have been learning about thermometers and down below is some examples  of  what it does

Sweaty the shoe!!!

Good morning I'm sweaty the shoe, and I am helping other kids with their running. I stop their feet from hurting because if the kids had bare feet they would stand on bommy knockers and they hurt alot.

I have been through alot of rough times. I have stood in dog poo and mud and cat spew and  when I was getting old I got chucked in the bin. That was not nice.

When I run my face gets squashed. That's why the bottom of me is  flat because it gets squashed and that's my life. So do you feel sorry for me? Do you  want to run with me you look like you need to have some fresh air?

Why I need a kitten!!!!

holidays are too short

                          

                                        Holidays are too short

Introduction

Don't you just love being able to wake up whenever you like and relax and take

your time and not worry about anything. That's why I deeply  think that we need to  add one extra week added  to our current holiday.

Firstly

The most important reason why I think holidays should be 3 weeks is that we can

visit our friends and family in other places and I love going to see family and friends.

Secondly

We need to have time to go somewhere in the holidays but we don't have enough time to if we did we could only stay for 3 nights and that's not a holiday to me.

Lastly

If you break a bone you would want to recover and rest in your bed but you would not have enough time. And you need a good sleep before school.

That's why I think that we need one extra week of our holidays,as i've stated my reasons above hopefully you can think about it.

welllington cable car

In the holidays I went to wellington and went for a ride in the cable car. The cable car is a good time for you to relax and there is a amazing view of wellington. You go under a tunnel with colorful lights that flash one bye one its awesome. :)

Student led conference

100 years of war

What is J-rock

J-rock is a time to have fun and be creative. We picked 100 years of war as our theme because we all need to remember those who died in war. J-rock was at Claudelands arena .

At the start we got to do 3 practices and the other schools got to watch us. There were about 12 schools at Claudelands.Then its lunch and we have a  bite to eat and we go outside to play. We learnt a game called jiggalow. Then we got to go to have some fun by the stage and dance to let it go.

Yay dinner time for dinner we had fish and chips.

Now lets go to the changing rooms and get changed into our costume. I quickly get dressed. The teacher said we are going on in 2 mins. 2 mins was up and  it was time to go on stage. Now I was so frightened.

My kayaking trip

                Kayaking

As I strolled over to where we were kayaking I saw a hill towering above me. Is that Bald Spur I said to myself? If it is I'm not going up there. It's humongous. Ok time to go kayaking hopefully that will take it off my mind so Babs and I got pushed into the calm sea. We drifted away nice and slow. We tipped Luke off his kayak a few times and then he tried to tip us off. It didn't work. Then we all gathered up in a circle. We swapped kayaks with each other. That was hard. Then we had to go back up to the carpark. So Babs and I slowly paddled away to the carpark to have something to eat. I was starving so we had a juice box, a piece of fruit, and some baking. Oh no I said to myself I don't want to walk up Bald Spur. Ah but the teacher said to us that we don't have to.

Up next is fishing yay!!.

I Notice that is the art is the most common thing to do at school.

I wonder why maths maths is the most uncommon thing to do at school.

I think that writing and art are the best things to do at school.

my summer

                                       My Summer

Remember that time when my beach towel was getting crusty and full of sand and your clothes were getting wet from all the kids in the water.                                      that was summer.

Remember when I was licking my ice cream as it dripped down my chin

                               and it was giving me a brain freeze

                                                 that was summer                                                                     

                                                                              

I remember that time  when  I was swimming. I could see fishes and crabs

                            and when I went near them they swim away

                                                  that was summer

I remember when the days were going by and the tide was coming in and we were eating fish and chips on the beach

that was summer

                                                        

Remember that time  when we could hear the waves crashing against the  

                                 rocks and all the kids splashing in the water

                                                         that was summer
