Syndicate Assembly Room 10

On Monday at syndicate assembly Room 10 presented their work. Afterwards we all sang a song called 'We are the Champions'. Mrs Buchanan told the students that we had to sing this song because New Zealand won the Rugby World Cup 2015 again. Lastly some teachers had notices for the students.

Walking Up Mount Wellington

Walking up Mount Wellington

The sun was setting, the breeze was flowing, it was  a good day to stroll up a mountain but it felt like Mount Everest.

On a wonderful holiday morning I was woken up by a rusty old rubbish truck that sounded like it was going to break into pieces. My church had an activity going on so me and my brothers wanted to go,  it was held in Panmure. The activity was to walk up Mount Wellington with a 10kg bag. As we went up the mountain I cried out “I want to go home.”

One of my brothers  is a few years older than me, and looks kind of like a troll. He is a tall slender man, he is 15 years old and goes to tamaki college. He  plays games when he has spare time as a habit.

With sore ankles and exhausted legs, through wind and hot flaming sun we reached the top in no time. As we  reached near the top we could hear wind swishing through the tall grass. Our bishop and his two counselors had cars to drop us off home from the top of  Mount Wellington.

When I got home my legs were so sore I couldn’t feel my hands because the temperature on top of the mountain was so cold, it is an astonishing place to watch the sun set.

Senior Cross Country

Start stretching for the long run.

The bell rang, the seniors started to line up for the cross country practice. Some students started to stretch. Teachers had to find their assigned corner to stand. The teachers announced to the  Year Four Junior Syndicates, “If you're a good runner then you can do three laps  with the seniors.”

We headed for  Mrs Golder, down to Mr Reid then to Mrs Buchanan and lastly  to Miss Ginders. We ran down Tripoli Road,  across to Hinaki Street and up Torino Street. Most of the seniors started to walk and kept on  walking and for their consequence they had to run after lunch. By the time the students completed three laps they were dawdling towards the end. The seniors ran their hardest  all the way to the finish line.

Mika, Don, Simon, and I tried to  keep running non-stop, but it wasn't that easy. All the teachers started  to shout at the students to keep on running, but as usual they didn’t listen. “It was hard work,” I moaned.

Group Reading

The Oranges  had to participate and work together as a team to finish this. We were learning to Identify  language features in our reading text. I had to write the characters feelings and emotions. 

Origami

I'm colorful and fast, I can fly and live mostly anywhere. Yes you're right, I'm a bird.

In Room 12 we all made an animal or creature that lives in the forest, students made flowers, wild cats, even dinosaurs. The one I made was an ordinary origami bird.Most students invented their own creation of a creature that lives in the forest.

My Daffodil

My Daffodil is an outstanding piece of art.  It looks hard to make but it seems pretty easy when you get to make one: 20 to 30 minutes.   I took 20 minutes just to make one.  When Mika presented to the class his daffodil it inspired me to make one on my own. But I noticed that my daffodil needed a stalk so I made one.

Mrs Golder did not want to buy a vase so Sini had to make one for all of us.
