My writing

See you again Remix
It been a long day without you my waffle and I’ll tell you all about it
when I eat you again, When I eat you again


Damn who knew all the waffles we chewed
all the syrup and food
that I’d be sitting right here cooking you


Bad Blood Remix
Now I'm stuck with the burnt waffles
ooohh
it’s so sad to think about the waffles that are burnt
cause baby now we got burnt waffles and I don’t think
I can eat them cause I might get sick
And then I can’t eat more waffles , hey!


Remix of Just give me a reason
Tell me that you've had enough of this syrup
just give me the waffles just the ordinary waffles
maybe just a little bit of the maple syrup so I can
Love them again

Remix of Sugar
I'm burning baby I'm in the toaster
come get me out before I burn
Syrup , yes please , won’t you come and pour it down on me
I'm not from McDonald's I'm original
yeah you guest it I'm a waffle
Syrup , yes please , won’t you come and pour it down on me
I'm right here on your plate I'm not going anywhere

Current Events

I was looking at some articles when I came over this one , check of the names of some of these places














This place was meant to be called Y because of because
 it has to highways with a Y shaped intersection but the name
of the town had to be at least three letters so they named it why .



try pronouncing the name of this town:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch ,
This place is a town found in whales , it has the longest name in 
Europe at 58 letters




Then last of all there is this town , Truth or Consequences .
The town was originally called hot springs but then it got named after a
radio station .

My goals

Here are a couple of  my goals for this term

1. I want to keep my gold card , the last time I lost my gold card was because I didn't complete the amount of pages that needed to be done on time so I think I need to take all the time I can get to keep on top of my 
AWS .

2. I am going to try and make my writing a little bit better by using different types of genres and not just end the story straight away so I am going to put more effort into my endings .

3.This term I am going to make sure I keep on top of my art I could do that by booking in some time on my my plan and not sitting by my friends when my class does art .

Current events post

Adoption offers are flooding in for a dog that was dumped off a bridge near Tauranga last week .
charityThe SPCA was called to the scene when some witnesses saw a white van pull up and dump the dog off the bridge . Luckily the dog managed to swim to the shore unharmed , but the 15 metre drop definitely frightened the dog .
The SPCA is offering a reward to anyone that knows any information about the incident .
charityFor now the SPCA is taking care of the dog until it is time to find a suitable home for this special dog .

Current events post


A small town in Alaska got a big surprise when it started raining eels ! , the eels were about a foot long and they had lots of teeth . No one had any idea why it was raining eels . Some people believe that it has happened with other things like fish for example . They say that if there is a is a tornado or a water spout these creatures can be swept up into they sky and then a little while later they will eventually fall from the sky
but some people are a bit confused because there has not been any tornadoes or waterspouts around the area lately .

My winter poem

Winter
Snow is falling
the clouds are bawling

The wind is howling
the sky is growling.

The lightning is striking
The cold is biting.

The winter coats have come out
Jack frost is about .

A blanket of fog has covered the town
The rain just won’t stop falling down.

Winter has come .

Snake swallows Tongs !

A vet named Aaron Rouse was feeding his pet python Winston a rat with some BBQ tongs when the python grabbed hold of the tongs, Aaron tried to get them out of the snakes mouth but the hungry python would not let go so Aaron left the snake in its cage for a while but when he came back the snake had swallowed the tongs whole ! . Aaron was very surprised to see that the snake had swallowed the BBQ tongs whole . He ended up preforming surgery on the snake to get the tongs out . So in the end Winston was unharmed and Aaron had learnt a very important lesson : do not feed a snake with barbecue tongs .

This is the x-ray of the snake after it had swallowed the tongs

Mothers day event

Last week at my school we had a mothers day event . To start off we did a quiz about mothers day and then we watched a video about why we love mums . After that I took my mum to the little pampering station that the teachers had set up and I painted her nails , but then I ended up removing he nail paint because I did a very sloppy job . When I finished removing the paint I took my mum to get some cheese and crackers but then she had to go back to work so my friend Abby and I painted each others nails but Abby painted my whole thumb ! . After that Me and my friend Sophie joined in with Abby and her mum and we all played cards together . I had a great time .

Luge

Luge
Me mum and Max had just hopped of the shotover jet , it was so cool and thrilling .
We nearly crashed a few times but I think the driver did that on purpose to thrill us .
After we we hopped of , some friends of ours meet us at the shotover shop , Their names were Fin, Jack, Emma, Kurstan and Bart . We all decided that we would then go and do the luge so we drove to the gondolas . After we finally found a park we purchased our tickets and lined up for the gondola . When we got to the front of the line we realised that the gondolas could only fit four people so they were tiny compared to the ones in Rotorua .

After the awesome ride up we hopped off and had some lunch at the cafe which was at the top . Just after we had something to eat and talked for a while we lined up for the luge , we all had to ride on the beginners track , Stella wanted to ride with mum so I rode in my own luge . Mum and Stella were going so slow, so I passed them easily and speed down to the end where Max and Dad were waiting for us . To get back up to the top we had to go up on the chairlifts so I went with dad , on the way up I noticed a camera that takes photos of you that you can buy , Dad pulled the finger at the camera and I smiled at it .

We finally got to the top again I lined up for the expert track I was scared and excited in a way . After the long wait we got to the front of the line so I hopped on one of the carts and started going and at the very start the was a small drop and my cart rolled down it and started speeding up , I felt like I was going so fast until Dad came speeding round the corner behind me and easily passed me with Max following just behind . The next time I saw Max and Dad was at the very end , but I just kept going and I bumped into Max and then he got angry at me but luckily it was the end so he couldn’t bump me back . I rushed back to the chairlift with Dad again , I was so ready to have another go .

The End

My writing

The Jump
This was it . I finally had the courage to do it so I quietly jumped into the back of the line .
The line slowly moved forward and I was getting nearer to the front “ maybe I should back out ”
a little voice in my head said but before I could change my mind one the instructors clipped me into the harness and told me to start climbing . I began to slowly climb up , I was gaining speed now nothing could stop me now I thought . That was until I looked down , “ right up you come ”
said the instructor . I was up . . .


I couldn't believe it . I had just climbed a 10 metre pole ! It felt so good to know , but I still had to jump so I stood in the position I had to and the instructor clipped me onto another rope and told me to stand by him . I was so nervous ! The instructor told me I could do it the easy way or the hard way . The easy way, I jump . The hard way , he pushes me . He told me he was going to count from three and on three I jump ( or get pushed ) . 3 . . . 2 . . .  1  , I jumped .


I felt like I was free falling , my stomach just dropped and I kept on falling . After what felt like forever the rope tightened and I swung up away from the pole and then back towards the pole , I thought I was going to hit it so I closed my eyes and braced myself but I narrowly missed the pole and swung back away from the pole again .

After continuously swinging back and forth (while my stomach felt like it was still dropping). The other instructor held up a pole sort of thing with a handle on the end for me to grab . So I grabbed it and he slowed me right down so I was just hanging there and he wheeled a ladder underneath me so I climbed down and he unclipped me . I had actually done it . It felt so good .

Reading

I have made a list of all the things normally read in one day .

  •  I read all the signs on the way to school .
  •  I also sometimes read my book on the way to school .
  • When I get to school I check my mi plan (which is my timetable) and I read what is on there.
  • I read my book club book ( bubblegum babes )
  • I do some of our earning tasks , which includes reading what we have to do
  • I read on the way home from school
I think it is important that everyone learns to read so that they can understand everything and of course it means you can read books and blog posts like this one . That is why it is important to learn to read .

Marble Track

Me and and my friend Abby made a marble track  it was hard because the marble kept stopping in the middle of the track , and sometimes some pieces would fall apart . We had to work together to keep it from falling apart . When we were nearly done the first marble track we went to add the last few pieces and the whole thing broke which was kind of gutting but then we made a whole new one which was much taller than the other one so we took some photos




Abby also has a blog so check it out at http://npsabbya.blogspot.co.nz/

Holidays


During the holidays me and my family flew down to Queenstown for four nights we got to do heaps of cool things. We arrived at the airport and hopped into our rental car , it was a blue Holden commodore . We arrived at our hotel at about four thirty and unpacked and watched some TV then we went to dinner .
These are some of the things we did over the next few days


  • We went on the shot over jet   
  •  We went to puzzle world in Wanaka
  •  We went up the gondola did the luge .
  •  We went to arrow town and panned for gold in the river
  •  We went to a place called oddesy , which is a place that has a whole lot different rooms like a room full of yoga balls and a mirror room and also a pitch black room .

After we enjoyed our time in Queenstown we drove to mount cook village and we stayed there one night . before dinner we went for a walk to see a glacier and when we were walking back to the car it started snowing . Then we went out to dinner and then found a place to stay and went to bed . The next day we hopped in the car and went for a drive to see the mountains , we stopped on the side of the road to take photos and then we took of to Christchurch . After a long , long  ,long drive from Mount Cook to Christchurch we eventually found somewhere to stay  and went out for dinner then went back to the motel and went to bed . We got up the next day and went for a drive around Christchurch it was quite sad to see all the ruined buildings . After that we drove to the airport to leave . I had a great time in The south Island .
