Auckland Juniors

On Saturday 28 of November 2015 I had the best day of my life.I was competing in Auckland Juniors in Henderson.  Auckland Juniors is a really big to me because It is really hard to get in to and I made it.I raced in only one race which was 100 Breaststroke which is my worst stroke. I did well and came second after one really extremely fast North Shore girl. I should have told you, there is not just HPK(Howick Packuranga club) there are others like:
North Shore
Fast
Counties Manakau
 It was In a really big pool in Henderson it's the main one so tots of people like strangers were there.So if you do club swimming try and get in to Auckland Juniors

  • This year I tried to be a better person by
  • My favourite memory from this year was when
  • The funniest thing that happened this year was



This year I learned how to use decimals and add them.I feel that I could start adding them now.

An important part decision that I made this year is to skip slopping and go strait to linking in hand- writing but it was useful now I am really good at linking.

One goal that I have accomplished this year is learnt much more that I have last year.

This year I tried to be a better person by staying on task more and getting all my tasks finished.

My favourite memory from this year is learning how to ride a bike.

The funniest thing that happened this year was I accidentally through my hat on my friends head without looking and started laughing hard.

Practising My Free Style



My Reflection
I was practising my free style drills while swimming.I was thinking about keeping my body on top of the water and fast kicking. For me it is important to not go so fast but fast because I have Auckland Juniors so I can't waste my energy.When I train at Pakuranga College  my coach tells me to keep my kicking up and fast.

Guy Fawkes Celebration Fire Works T4 W5







Last weekend was guy fox weekend. I live on the top of the hill and Howick club is right in front of our house so we got the full view of the fire works.

We had a party for for the celebration because my birthday was that week so it made scene to a have a party for me as well. Diwalli  is coming up to so that was included in the party.

The first small fire work was launched at 8:30 and it started from there. It started of small and then got bigger and bigger by the minute.

We only had snacks and no dinner because the fire works ended at 9:00 and I don't have dinner till 10: so all was okay.  We had chicken wings and a few crackers when the guest first came in. When the fire works started we had a drink and they sang happy birthday to me.

When the fire works finished we sat down and ate chocolate moose. I had a great time but the only thing I didn't like was I got locked in my garage by my dad on accident, but that was the only thing.

Narrative Framework


My Reflection

I was learning what a narrative is and writing one. A narrater is someone who is not in the play and telling the story. Say for little red riding hood the wolf is not speaking he is sneaking into grandma's house and eating her somehow and is isn't little red riding hood she is not speaking she is  doing other stuff and lets skip some bits and say it also is not the wood cutter or little red riding hoods mother. Back to the narrter there job is to tell you the the story's name, beginning of the story, the characters, the setting, the problems, the solution and the conclusion. My next step is to write my own story being the narrater and mixing it up a bit.

Rugby History

Yesterday On the first of NOVEMBER 2015 the All Blacks made rugby history as they won the world cup back to back 2011-2015
There were Australian fans and New Zealand But you know there are always more New Zealand fans then Australia.

Yesterday I woke up to watch the ruby world cup final 2015. I somehow passed through the alarm and got to my dad and mums room and woke them up. After that told them to put the alarm of so we could watch the match in 15 minuets time I some.

When we were in the hall and started to put the T.V on my sister made our toast while I was so careful and  made our bacon and egg on the stove as I was taught when I was 7 and a half years old.Dad was finding his New Zealand flag in the garage. As we came to the end mum woke up and cheered for the All Blacks while my sister made her coffee and toast. With 30 seconds left Beauden Barrett got the ball from the other Australian player and scored another try  and won the world cup with 27-32

last Friday we had Fantastic Friday. This is were you do a topic like glee, Bollywood dancing, vintage games. I did glee.

After the stop and freeze bell we had to go to the auditorium for glee with room 22 teacher student.

 We did a warm up to lots of songs and then we practised the song that we are doing and then started learning the moves. It was a song from the show friends. I can not remember what the song was but it was a nice song.We didn't so learn the moves we just learn't our starting positions

Kensuke's Kingdom - Chapter 1

This book is a very nice book.It traps you and you cannot let go. It is a book that you will want to read again.

improper fractions have a bigger numerator than denominateor

Dragon Logical Order Activity

 This task was a bit confusing because they were not put in the right order in the first place. I found it more easy when you read it out loud to yourself, and your ears can here it not just your brain.

Tree Planting


Dear Dairy



It's been a long time from when I started planting.On a beautiful sunny day when room 28/29 went to the back of the field it was muddy smiley yuk and slippery.

The mail thing we went there for was to plant native plants to stop arotion from coming and flooding our school


 Now that we are a green gold school we try to keep our award and not go back to school. We worked really hard for that award and will maintain that consistence.


We used some other help of 3 very helpful people.Anna,Carl and Paul. They helped us plant the plants the  ground.


There were many different variates of plants, a Cabbage tree, Flax, Toitoi and 2 others which I cannot remember.

To make the plants grow faster we put a plant fertiliser which will do that job.

At the end of the day I felt proud of myself for planting 3 trees on a muddy surface.

Life Poster

This is my poster. I used canva.com to make it. I found it easy to make it. I also thought of using Postermywall.com if I needed.

Tick Tock Goes The Clock

It was the biggest day of the year. CHRISTMAS DAY!!!.


But  the most anowing part was we were hosting a party in our house for 30 people


The party was set  for 12:00 and it was only 10:00. We could not work that fast  .I'm just saying our house was a pigsty.

First My sister and me went hard out and cllaend our rooms and also mum started to vacueme the hall and the bedrooms and also swab them to.


On the other hand where is dad, well he is in his cosy and warm bed resting.


Then my sister woke up my dad and tells him to run and get a shower because he really needed one.


After that my dad went around the house with air spray and sprayed the house with it.




Soon enough me and my sisters room was spotless so your mum said go and get changed


 Finalely I finished changing first  and as I expected the door bell rang and I had to answer it.


So now you know on CHRISTMAS DAY! always wake up early.

Bike Skills

 On Tuesday morning the year 4's went to the car park in Elm Park School and did bike skills.  Kerry was our teacher and we were the doers.  It was a tighter conner to go around because it was at the edge of the car park and because it was a curb. For the children that wasn't confident ridding a bike yet they just had to push and glide but soon enough  power to  stand. It was easier to stand up and ride than it was to go down and stand up and ride. I was a bit of both. I sourt of got the hang of it after a while but it seemed eazy half through the lessen.

100 Word Challenge

I was reading a book one day when suddenly I saw ... me dancing on top of a cloud in unicorn land. But I was a bit puzzled because I was reading 'Dancing in Unicorn Land.'   I looked down, flowers and the horns of the unicorns shining bright like small diamonds. I wished that I could stay but I had to go back but I did not know how to. It looked like I was staying here. I was a bit happy with the result but how did I get here from that book. Was it magical?
