My holiday to Rarotonga
My holiday to Rarotonga
On the first Tuesday of the holidays Dad, Mum, Abbie and I drove to Jet Park Hotel in Auckland. We arrived at 6:00pm at night. We had dinner at the restaurant. I ordered a pizza, it was huge! Abbie ordered the same pizza. Mum ordered a fish soup and Dad ordered a fancy meal [I have no idea what it was called]. When we finished we went back to the room and watched TV. We went to bed at something like 9:00pm
We woke up the next morning at 4:00am in time to get ready for the bus to go to the airport. We had to go through security and bag check. We met all our family at the airport, we went upstairs to get some breakfast, and we met the Commonwealth Weightlifter in the men’s division gold medelist. Auntie Heather, Abbie and I got a selfie with him. I had Macdonald’s for breakfast.
A few hours later we boarded the plane and found our seats, I was fiddling with my screen and I finally got it working after something like 20 minutes. There was seat chat, games, music and movies. The flight was something like 4 hours.
When we got to Rarotonga we went through security and bag claim. We picked up the 16 seater van. It was steaming hot, all the luggage went on the back seats. One of the air conditioner things were broken and none of the windows would open. We drove to the resort, it took about 15 minutes. When we got to the resort we went and found our rooms and unpacked. Mum and Dad shared a room, and Abbie and I shared a room.
Once we got that sorted out we went to the restaurant for a meal. Once we finished we went to the the pool for a swim. I met two girls their names were Lexi and Paige, we became friends. Lexi had an older brother named Harrison. A few days later we found out that Lexi and Harrison were in the room above us.
We got out of the pool and said bye, we went back to the room and went to bed. But we couldn’t get to sleep for a while.
The next night Dad, Auntie Heather, Uncle Hayden and H went on the party bus. H meet some girls they were all from NZ.
The next day we were in the pool all day playing tag. The next night we went to this really fancy dancy restaurant there was six cats. Mum and Dad had a big meal but all I had was a bowl of hot chips. I was outside doing slow mo videos on Mums phone.
On the third day we went on captain Tamas boat. All the Rarotongans we saying if you ever come back bring us some KFC. When we were on the boat we went snorkeling then had a island feast. Once we got back from captain Tamas we went to a really amazing show. It was something like $100 each. We went to the show on Saturday night, it was really cool, there was an island dance and a buffet dinner.
After everyone finished the fire dancers came out. There was a lot more dancing. When it finished we went back to the resort and in the pools we were pushing our friends in the deep end.
On the last day we went to the fruits of Rarotonga to feed the fish all our left over bread. One bit my finger and made it red.
On the last night we had a pizza party at v14 (at my aunty, uncle and cousins room ). I made a graph of how many beers everyone drank. We went back to our room at 11:00pm on Rarotonga time.
The next day we drove to the airport and said bye to the pretty views of Rarotonga and we climbed on the plane and traveled back to New Zealand.

Parent interview question air
Parent Interviews - Yearly Reflections
My writing goal is (have you changed it, why?) - Goal- My new writing goal is to... organize related ideas into paragraphs and use linking words and phrases to link some of these paragraphs.
I chose this goal because... I haven’t done it yet I think I should work on this goal because it would be challenging.
I practise this by… I will work on my goal in my writing.
A piece of writing I am proud of is…. The neighborhood bullies, Sean is the biggest bully in Danville Bigger than a bus. Once he lifted a bus with his bare hands. The normal sized kids bought him lunch some days. One day the normal sized children were in the bus on the way to school then Sean picked the bus up and started shaking it. He shook it so hard three children fell out, they looked rather dazed. Sean grabbed a boy by his ankles. His name was Henry Mitchell. He had ginger hair. Sean grabbed the lunchbox and said ‘’ do you have any lunch for me little nerd’’ Henry shuddered ‘’ um, you can have my chicken nuggets’’ ‘’Thanks little nerd’’. Minutes after Big Steve moved into the neighborhood, he said ‘’Hi I’m new’’. Can I smell chicken nuggets. Big Steve wants some chicken nuggets!! ”gulp “ Sean ate the whole lunchbox “Sorry all gone” Big Steve got angry. So he got a humongous pink paint can and tipped it on Sean. “ Oh whoops sorry.”Sean gets really angry. The normal sized children started laughing. “What are you laughing at or you will be next”. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ”The normal sized kids scattered into the classroom back. The normal sized children had put up with one bullie but now there was two bullies! It was time for the normal sized children to fight back. They had a group huddle and made a plan. One of the boys got a phone and searched up the number for super inflatable chicken nuggets. They ordered a super large crate of inflatable chicken nuggets. About 1 minute later a truck came and delivered the super large box of the super inflatable chicken nuggets. It got dropped off in front of Sean and Big Steve, They gulped all of the chicken nuggets down. Then Sean’s and Big Steve’s tummy’s started blowing up like a big fat Gorilla balloons. One of the normal sized children shouted VOLLEYBALL TIME. Then the normal sized children pushed big Steve and Sean up into the air and they floated into space. They started arguing. about who got them up into space “It's all your fault said Sean”why” because you tipped pink paint on me.” Well if you gave me the chicken nuggets in the first place I wouldn’t of tipped the pink paint on you and the kids wouldn’t of made us blow up like big fat gorilla balloons and we wouldn’t have floated up into space”. “How are we going to get down”? wondered Big Steve. “We will have to work together” said Big Steve “ Ok then hold my hand “ said Sean. So Steve held Sean’s hand and POP!!!!!! Steve and Sean both popped on the satellite. They were like a balloon when you try and blow it up but then you let go and it flies round the room, well they basically flew round the whole world. Finally they got back to school but they were normal sized so they were nice to the normal sized kids but then Big Stewart moved in. Dun dun dun.
In maths I am currently learning (how do you feel about this, what are your next steps? Give your parents a rundown of what we do as well)… - about working together, learning about fractions and doing problems in a group.
Reading - Share your reading work (talk about some of the things you do in reading.) We use cover cards, we were also reading with a buddy after morning tea and lunch. My partner was Bianca and most of the time if there was māroi words we would try to say them.
Do you have any other goals you would like to share, what are you doing to achieve them? My other goal is to work on slope and speech in my writing. I will achieve them by practicing them in my writing And in my spare time
Pick 3 more pieces of work from your blog (write why you are going to share them and what you were learning to do)
-the neighborhood bullies
- lawn mower robot rampage
-the first best day ever.
New Writing Goal

Bike safety reflection
Goal- recount what I learned at bike safety with Jono
-Use speech effectively
On Tuesday Jono came to School to teach the year fours and under how to ride a bike safely. Jono came into the class with his bike “Wooow” the year fours chanted. Jono started talking about… the frame, the wheels, the brakes, the handle bars and the flashing lights. Then Jono said “ if you were caught not wearing a helmet while riding you will get a $55 fine”. We then we went outside to do the course. We put our helmets on and got on our bikes. THE COURSE HAD A JUMP!!! It even had a round about! after we did the course we did like sixteen laps. Then we went down to the back field for some races, but I didn’t race I helped Jono load all the spare bikes back into the big truck. Then after we finished loading the bikes I ran down to where the races were and ran in them. It was fun I hope I can do it next year!

Business reflection
Over the last few weeks we have been researching and looking at websites about our business. My group has been looking at making YouTube videos. I have learned that you don’t have to make a YouTube account you just use your email and then boom you got a account. When you make a YouTube video you need to use boom language also add a bit of drama.We have decided we will work together as a whole class to use personal best to work at businesses that so we can get further. We will be trying to sell chickens, make graphs, make grain, compost, building nesting boxes and growing food. In my group there is Harrison Cohen and I. We are making YouTube videos we have been working on our scripts for ages but I think we finally got.

Robot lawnmower fight back
-Goal-
-retell a story in my own words
Use speech effectively
There was a boy named Hemi, his Dad made him mow the lawns that weekend. He absolutely hated it, it really disgusted him. He had better things to do than mow lawns. He could be building a robot, “I got it “ said Hemi. He could build a robot to mow the lawns for him. He went into the shed and got three steak knives, some old scissors, dad's old nose picker , a laser pointer that burns things wherever you point it, a blender, and some guitar strings to tie it all together and finally he gets the old computer.
Hemi stayed up all night and worked on his invention. Finally it worked “ it’s alive! KABOOM!!! “Oops still needs a little bit of work”. Finally it actually worked!!! In the morning he programmed it into mowing the lawns for him. Hemi sat in a deck chair and had a soft drink. Before you know it Hemi fell asleep. He woke up to the sound of a group of people screaming. His robot was nowhere to be seen. Dun dun dun.
Hemi assumed his robot was making all the commotion. Hemi raced into the city he looked around everyone was bald. When Hemi looked round he saw his robot smashing everything in sight, the robot smashed the statue of the mayor, the circus tent, the zoo, schools, apartments, banks, Keli tarlton's aquarium, Harvey Norman, Noel leeming, centre city, pet shops, the rugby stadium where Jared and William were watching the all blacks vs rabbitohs. Chicken Lala land, (made especially for kiwi, Sky, Daisy and for Mackalya. The lawnmower robot stormed out off the stadium and it to chicken lala land. Luckily The four chickens rushed out Kiwi said to sky Daisy and Mackalya “ stay safe I will be fine” “ok” said Sky Daisy and Mackalya at the same time. So they left. Kiwi went up to the lawnmower robot and whispered “you better watch out” a second later Kiwi started doing karate on the lawn mower robot. She knocked the robots head off got the scissors and chopped the robot's legs off and then Kiwi grabbed the laser and took the arms off the robot and that was the end of that.

Calf and lamb,day hall of creativity Leah’s bee
For my hall of creativity i painted a stone with a bumble bee on it. My bumble bee had glistering wings and a shiney stinger. I think i should off done the shape a bit more like an oval. I also think my bee should of looked a bit more real. I liked how I came up with the idea to draw a bee. Even though I didn’t win prize at least I tried my best.
