Electricity Is Important

   Electricity is important because we would be having cold showers without it and I don’t like cold showers. We use electricity to cook food and to wash our clothes as well. If we had no electricity the food in the fridge will go off and rot too. We also need electricity to have our lights on and see at night. Our phones need charging too. When birds sit on a power line they don’t get shocked because they are not touching the ground. Most People get power cuts because of the bad weather. I just wish power companies fixed the power cuts faster.

      

                        

Exercise Training

On Wednesday I was doing some exercise training with my cousins and mum. There were 9 stations to go to. The first station was to do as many star jumps as you can. I did 57. The second one was running in and out of the cones. My favourite exercise was doing as many star jumps. We then got into 5 teams and we had to run with a tennis ball placed between our feet and get to the cone and back. After all of those we had to stretch.

Maleficent

On Saturday in the afternoon my cousins, sister, uncle and I went to the movies at Sylvia Park. We looked at the board to see what movie was next. We decided to watch Maleficent. We ordered the large drink and large popcorn and walked to cinema 3.  It was about a girl called Maleficent. She was a fairy god mother.  A man poisoned Maleficent and cut off her big strong wings. At the end of the film she gets her wings back. I liked her as the fairy godmother.

Yesterday's Weather

Yesterday’s weather was a bit funky because it rained then stopped then rained again and so on. The weather was so cold I wrapped myself in a warm blanket. I even had a hot milo. When I looked outside there was a little sunlight but when I actually went outside it started to spit. We had rain, sunlight, wind and it was cloudy. I think the rest of this week’s weather will be a bit better than the last two rainy cold days.

Netball Game

On Saturday afternoon I was told my mum won her netball game. I wasn’t there because I was playing with my friends. My mum’s team scored 36 and the other team scored 17. While they were playing someone fell over but she was not hurt too bad. In the last half there were no more accidents.

Fire passing

  On Thursday Room 11 had their first netball lesson with the coach Fiona. We played passing games. First we had to warm up by jogging to the fence and back. While we were jogging we had to do butt kicks, skipping, side stepping and cross over.

   

  We learnt different types of passes too. They were the fire pass, chest pass and the over head pass. After that we got into 3 groups and 1 team mate had to hold the hoop and 1 other person had to be behind them. After that game there were 3 more games.

  The last game we played was lots of fun. It was just like netball. You had to pass the ball 4 times to the hoop and then pass it through.

No More Hacking

  

I can’t wait till I get my password for my school Google account so there can be NO more hacking and no more problems. When I get my password I'm not going to tell anyone - not even my friends and family. We need a password so no one can get into people's account and start trashing their work. When I get my password I'm going to be happy. Hopefully everybody will also be happy getting their own password.

                           

The Horn Went Off

  On Saturday my sister and I watched my aunties and mum’s netball game. It was at the AMI netball stadium. When we got there we had to wait for the rest of the team. They arrived just as the game was supposed to start.

  I quickly looked at the scoreboard to see what the time and score was. Then the horn went off. When the game finished my mum’s team lost.

    

Rough Seas

June 6 1944

• D Day happened during World War 2 and was the Allied invasion of Normandy. The invasion's code name was Operation Overlord. The D stands for Day. Many Americans who have arrived in Normandy in France this week is commemorating the 70th anniversary for D-Day. However many other invasions and operations had designated D-Day both before and after that operation. D-day was actually chosen for the date of June 5th but was postponed till the next day which is June 6th because of rough seas.

Defending The Ball

  

Yesterday  at the AMI netball courts we played 5 schools at the interschool netball competition. They were Point England, Glen Innes, Tamaki Primary, St Pius, and Glenbrae. It was fun playing all those schools. I really enjoyed it because I was defending the ball when someone was passing it and I intercepted them then threw it to my partner. I liked being GK and GD because I’m good at defending . We won 3 games out of 5 and came 4th out of 16 teams. I think that I played very well.

   

Safety Rules

        

At tech with Mr Grundy we watched him melt some pewter to make jewellery. He explained and showed us all the steps. Hopefully next Wednesday we get to make our own necklace. But if not someone from room 11 can do it for me.

When we make it I think it will be hard cutting out our shape for our necklaces. I would like to make a necklace. He told us some safety rules when he is melting the metal and when he is using the cutting machine.

    First we need to choose a photo that will be easy to cut out. Later on when we made it we will think of a person to give our necklace to. I think I’m gonna give it to myself because I deserve it.
