Holidays

In the sunny holidays I went to the fun called Chipmunks in Nelson. My friend Hamish came with me. It was so fun because of the slide because you could do forward flips off it.  We went to my place and made a jump for our bikes and he stayed. The next day we went for a bike ride.  It was so hard because it was windy like a tornado.

Milk in Schools.


 Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday the children in Room 8 bring us our little cartons of milk. We have it before we go to morning tea. We have to fold the packets up in a special way so they can recycle the cardboard. We even have special bins to put them into.

In the holidays by Harrison and Jordan


On Thursday me and my family went to Greymouth and we stayed in a motel. It had a spa bath. The next day we went to Shantytown and went gold panning and we got to keep the gold.  After we went to Shantytown we went to Westport and stayed at one of my mum and dads friends houses. They had two boys called Wayde and Reece. They also had two pets called Choc and Henry.

I went to Wellington to see my mum. I went to the Weta Cave. I saw a statue of Snowy and Tintin and the Hobbit. I watched a movie about the Weta Cave and how they put things together.

On Thursday we picked yummy vegetables from Room 7's garden. There were curly cabbages, rhubarb, spinach, celery and kale. We planted them at the end of February. Riley's mum cooked the rhubarb for breakfast. Ian is going to have his rhubarb on ice cream!

Pirate Hunting By the Tuis and Kiwis.

On Thursday we dressed up like dirty pirates and drove in cars to Mapua. 
Room 7, 6 and 5 lined up to get on the ferry. When we hopped on the ferry we spotted Captain Blunderbus and went crazy.
When all of us got to the island, we set off for the treasure. Then we looked for clues. Captain Blunderbus said go East, and we found a wheel.
We walked through the forest and found a skull.
Next we went through the forest walking along going towards east. We crept a few steps and then again and again! Just then we found some of Captain Blunderbus's pieces of gold on the ground and we also found a canon ball. Then we found some games and a chest.
Inside the chest were drinks and biscuits. We played some games then we went on. We walked along the dusty forest road to find the treasure. That took very long and was very hard and tiring, so we got very thirsty and hungry.
Next Captain Blunderbus gave us the next clue with a code. It was a bit hard but we got it.
Soon then we went west to find the cannon behind the tree. Then we followed the clues down the track, and we got to the point were the  treasure was. We found a clue that said, go west.
We found an x and Tane dug it up. Captain Blunderbus  threw a key but the key was too big. So he threw another key and Hamish caught the key.
The key opened the treasure chest and inside it there were crunchies and chocolate coins! Everybody dug in.
After that Mrs Duncan blew the whistle and we all walked back to the ferry and climbed aboard.
It was a fun, fantastic, adventurous, scally
