POEM

Summer poem.

I'm really hot I'm going to the beach

I can reach

I'm gonna surf with a smurf

I always drink

I don’t wear pink

In the nice bright sun

I'm having alot of fun

I'm trim

I go for a swim

I eat chips

I do back flips

I wipe my lips

I'm seeing big ships

I’m happy

I’m flappy

I’m playing sport

I’m not short

I play with the beach ball

I’m so tall

I made a call

I sleep on a chair

I brush my hair

Its so clear

Poems 'My Robot'

My robot must rate as my favourite toy,
A wonderful, whirring, mechanical joy.
My robot can talk, but he'd much rather sing,
Or go to the park and play on the swings!

My robot is silver and very astute.
For instance this week he was learning the flute.
My robot's adept at a number of tests,
Like doing my homework or folding my vests!

My robot tells jokes that will tickle your sides,
Or spin a good story and much more besides.
And with a small spanner I always keep handy,
I unbolt his head to store all my candy!

Science Day!

Today at room 8, which is Mrs Moopanar's class we did some science about sounds. The group that I was in were doing a"communication telephone cup" were you have to talk through the plastic cup and the other person has to try and hear what you are saying.

The second inspection we went to was we you have to put a rubber-band on a glass and talk and then you hold it tight at the bottom of the glass and pull the top bit and you can hear an echo like your voice saying what you said.

The after the second inspection was when we used science shot glasses and we put water inside the science shot glasses and if you blow inside it makes different sound if you change the volume in each shot glass and it move too.

Persuasive Writing

I think that we should have (20 minutes) of playing football outside and playing Octopus outside, because we can get fit and strong and not have diabetes and when we grow up.

I strongly agree on not playing games in class because that can make you stupid and dumb and get low in your studies and so that when you grow up you have lots of money and provide food for you and your family and you can build a very good house.

We should have (20 minutes) everyday! and we should play on the field because you can have more space to play and you can also get penalty shootouts and free kicks on the field because I am really good at getting free kicks and penalty shootouts.

If it is raining we can play  bull-rush on the field or we can play in the hall and have a good time for (20 minutes) and then we can come back to class and do our work.

I also agree that you should unblock all our agar.io games and all our games that we used to play like (www.friv.com), (www.supermechs.com), (www.tankionline.com)

Also all our other games that you and the technicians blocked because everyone might tell their parents about unblocking all our fun and no one will come to this school.

Last Session with Mr.Grundy

My wood car was nearly finished all it just needed was some holes to put the wheels in and I needed to put a seat and to put glass and some doors so when we were finished my drawing went in to the black box my car was a Ferrari.

My wood car looked like this!

Finally we asked lots of questions and we went back to class.

Hurricanes Term 3 Week 2

Today at school I researched about child abuse and guess what I found! http://m.nzherald.co.nz/child-abuse/news/article.cfm?c_id=146&objectid=11477624 I found this article and wrote a short summary on my book and then I posted it on my blog when I researched about child abuse I learnt that the writer's name was Isaac Davidson and I got the link so that you people can look at it.

If someone get's abused you should call 111 so that the police can stop the person from bullying you and then you can be hero and do not forget to keep yourself safe or walk with an adult who knows how to fight so that he can fight and you can run away or get the police and everything can be ok.

Decimals

On decimal I learned that you can use long division to figure out the question that you have on your here is a picture of what it is like. 

I learned from my father, that this is how you do long division my father asked me if I have good marks and I said no because I don't get teached long division and combining with decimals. 

If you want to learn long division ask your teacher or parents but I prefer to ask my parents because I can keep on asking the over and over until I become brainy and smart and have a lot of money when you grow up. The End

Queens Birthday

On monday we had no school and I was really happy because we had no school work all we had to do was stay home and relax, me and my brothers went brush our teeths and had a shower and had breakfast and then we went to the lounge and started playing FIFA 14.

I beat them and had all the turns and then they got really angry and teamed up by using three controlers one of them was red and the other brother was yellow then they said press B to each other but my goalkeeper was too good and they only had one goal.

Next they got tired and we played boxing and racing on the KINECT and they beated me at racing but I beat them on boxing at King of the ring because they couldn’t beat my highscore so we played  NBA 2k14 and they didn’t know any skills so I went easy on them and they got better and I showed them how to do the skills on the Xbox 360 controler
