They dance to a brazilian song.

My favorite part was when they swung their hips to side to side that looked funny for the boys. The sequins and sparkles look  flash on the girl's  costumes the boys wore puma T shirts  with their school PE shorts.

When they were finish everyone  applaused they came down of the stage and got into their clothes.

The park

Sienna 25/7/16 The Park

“Ya!Ya! We are finally at the park”, There were lots of people. I was there  with my cousin and Aunty

I  went on the slide. Myah and I both went down. She

went on her back so did I. On the way down, a nail scratched  her .When she came out of the slide, She was crying, I told her I would cheer her up by pushing her on the the swing but then she fell off.  Because I pushed a little too hard and let go of the chain she almost fell down the stairs and fell into the lake. She fell in a sandpit.

After the park we went to  get an ice cream. Myah took a big chunk and ,after a few seconds, she told me “BRAIN FREEZE!” she told me it was the most coldest brain freeze she had ever had.

  

We went to Mcdonalds. I got a happy meal and my cousin got a pie she loves pies and we went to the park and sat there to sort out everything. We drove

down the road.

After that we, went home to watch one movie each.

The Seven Sisters

Long ago, there lived seven sisters. They had described themselves as the wāhine. They had long golden hair like shining stars.

One day, seven brothers were out hunting. They heard sounds. “Help! Help!”

The seven sisters pretended to fall out of the bush. Seven brothers were there but only six fell in love. Trytanus was the only brother that didn't fall in love. He knew that the seven wahine were trouble.  He knew they had to go, but, two days later, all his brothers were getting married and he got angry.

He knew that he had a power that his brothers didn't have. He was a shape shifting. He could turn into anything so, one day, he spied on the wahine. He saw them go in to a whare so he followed them into it but he could not go in as a human so he went in as a bird. He heard their evil plan and tried to tell his brothers but they didn't listen, then he told the brothers to look at themselves. “You were handsome and strong! Now look at you. You are weak and skinny. We need to catch the wahine and so they did and threw them in the sky.

FOREST WALK

Violet and Victoria were twins and they lived in a mansion, not far from forest. 

The Hidden Snake

I think Tom knew what everyone was thinking so he gathered some things from the classroom. He was making a trap so he could lure Harry, the snake, into the trap when he had finished making it. 
He used his food to get the hidden snake. It came out of the hole and wriggled its body into the trap. Tom slowly picked it up. 
Miss Anderson said, "Keep your pet at home.''

Mount Everest

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS DAY

Yesterday,  the whole  school  had two Magic Shows. We had one with Jonathon. He was my favourite  magician. His jokes were fantastic. 
My favourite  part was when he swallowed the balloon down his throat. 

After that, he  said, "In two days, it will come out like a poodle."
After a few seconds, I understood what he meant and we all laughed because he was so funny with his jokes.

When I heard there was another show, I thought, "Wow! Two shows in one day. That is pretty cool!"
El Gregoe was amazing because he teaches  our school about anti-bullying so if someone is bullied, he will know how to handle it.

The Birthday of the Church

The Church is people spreading the Good News about Jesus. 

The followers of Jesus had locked  themselves in a room so they wouldn't  get arrested by the soldiers.

At Pentecost, Jesus’ followers came out of the room they were hiding in, to spread the Good News.The Holy spirit had come to them in the form of fire and wind.

This day is called Pentecost. It was the beginning of the Church.  

NATIVE BIRD FEEDING

As our class ran through the door, we saw the peacock. It was so beautiful  that I tried to touch it, but we were not allowed to.

We were there because we had filled up the marble jar in our classroom. I was there with my group and Natesha's mum.

Quietly, but quickly I rushed to the native bird enclosure. I tried really, really hard to stay still so a bird could land on me. Ella was doing it too. One almost landed on me. 
Jo said, "Put your food away, because some birds were on a special diet." There was one that was green. I got  a fright because I could hear it but I couldn't see it. It was freaky.

The tui is my favourite bird.

The Rocket

SPLASH! into the water. It was freezing cold. We had to race to the end. "I came first," said somebody. We got out, took the life jackets off and waited in line. It was a little bit cold. While everybody had their turn, the people in line were saying, "Fall! Fall! Fall! Everyone got told to stop. 

When it was my turn, I was a bit scared but I had a go. I ran and ran until I fell off, then I swam to the ladder and lined up again. Once I had another turn, Ashley told the rest of the people to stop. The other class was coming. 

We hopped into the small pool. I begged  Ella to come in and she said yes. We only got five minutes. We all  hopped out and got dressed. When we came out, we got a lollipop. We waited for a little while and I watched my sister. I was so excited until she fell. I was hoping she would make it to the end of the rocket. When we were all dressed, we headed back to school.

World of Maths

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! We were in the World of Maths. We looked at the shiny tables and sat on the ground. Kath talked about how the games worked. After a little while, we put people into groups. I was with Paige, Ashton, Ella and Ava. First, we played, 'Make a shape.' Ashton and I were a group and we took a long time to find out what shape to make but there were some instructions down the bottom. Paige  read them out. I made a house shape then it was Ashton's turn. He made a rectangle. We kept taking  turns then we moved to next one. We played the block game. It took a longer time to fit the  blocks in perfectly. Finally, we finished and moved to 'Where's Katy?' We each got a turn opening a door. After we finished, we walked to a game called Monkey. It was fun because  we had to see how many nails our monkey could  make it down. After that, we had just a little race  then we went on with a different game then the teachers said it was time to go. We said goodbye, then went  back to class.

Swimming 2016

Dashing out of the girls changing room, Room Three was still in the pool. We had a little bit of time so we waited for them. After they  got out, we got in.  We  dived under quickly so we would not get cold. The water was still a bit cold so Ashley told us to run  right and then go left. It was confusing but we did it any way. The water was cool. Our first swimming lesson was so much fun. It was such a sunny day that we wanted to hop in
