My Christmas Wonderland

Today Zach and I made a Christmas Wonderland. We created on Paint. We spend the whole morning on it. I hope everyone has a great Christmas and a happy new year.

My year so far in room 16

This is my comic life poster showing some great and enjoyable events of this year. The photo on the bottom right is showing me at the book character dress up day. I am dressed as Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter. The one with me with the speech bubble which is saying ' Electric Emma to the rescue' is my super hero. I created it at the start of the year. The other three are me and my group the Titans at Camp Kaitawa. I really enjoyed going to that camp. The last one is me at Pandora Pond in Napier for optimist yachting. That was a real great event to make room 16 enjoy themselves. Enjoy and please comment:)

Athletics day

Athletics day

“On your marks get set go,” said Mrs Hill. I looked behind me I was last I started to run as fast as I can. Suddenly in the corner of my eye I caught sight of Thea passing me. I started running as fast as I can, I pass lots of people I see the finished line Thea, and Brooklyn were in front of me. Brooklyn had finished Its up to me to came third I hear Hemani shouting my name I starting to sprint as fast as I can I looked behind. Where's Thea? she just finished. Mr Makris put a two on my sticker I thought that's better then getting a one.

“On your marks get set go,” said Mrs Hill again for the next group. I see Hemani sprinting as fast as she could.“ You can do it Hemani,” I said shouting .   But sadly Hemani came last. Mrs Hill told her “Better luck next time,” she said. Mrs Hill told as we had to go to the softball throw with Mrs Paki. We went to Mrs Paki “ Today we are doing softball throw you throw the ball to the yellow cone over there,” She says. It was my turn I pick up the ball and throw the ball it was so close to the cone Mrs Paki gave me a one that's good I thought.

Next was the high jump we were all in line waiting for our turn. Now its my turn I bring both  of my legs up ready to land on the big mat  my legs wouldn't let me jump I had to watch the others Hemani did that to cause Hemani did not  want to do it again. It was lunch and morning tea time we had to eat everything. “ Next year 6 girls go to the 200m race. “ On your marks get set go,” I was running very fast I passed lots of people I see 3 kids in  front of me. “My legs are starting to hurt,” I say. Sadly I came six.  

Reflection for Athletics day

Something I was pleased with was how Hemani was encouraging me at everything I did. Because she was cheering and shouting you can do it. I                              

I really enjoyed learning How to do the softball throw. Because last year I didn't throw it long enough but this year Mrs Paki should me how to do it properly.

                   

Something I found hard was High Jump. Because I was too afraid of doing it.

Something that made me think was Doing the long jump. Because at fist I didn't jump properly because I was over thinking everything. My second time I jumped and did it  properly.

Something I want to get better at is Doing the high jump

         

How I can do that is  trying new things.

Coin Experiment

Coin Experiment
By Emma and Zach

Equipment:

• Container filled with water
• Molding clay
• Old coins

Question:

What shape of container will hold the most weight?

Prediction:

We have chosen a cube because it is tall and spacious so it will carry lots of coins.

 

Observe:

When we placed our cube gently inside the water, it sank because the sides and bottom were too thick to carry anything.

Method:

Create a boat out of modelling clay.

Fill the container with water.

Place the boat carefully onto the water so it floats.

One at a time , put coins carefully into the boat . Count how many coins are in the boat before it sinks.

Explanation:

I found out that thick things can't float but if you spread out, it will float. Our boat was too thick. so I didn't float.

Money!!!!!!!!

What shape am I going to choose

Vampire Viper report

Vampire Viper: By Emma and Imaan

Vampire viper is a dangerous creature so you shouldn't be messing around with it. It is poisonous and has venom so the second it bites you, you will die or be injured badly. You will be amazed with what this monster can do. Do you know what you do if you come across the Vampire viper? Read on to find out how to protect yourself from it.

Why do you need to protect yourself from it?

It is poisonous and can harm you badly. If you mess with this creature you will be miserable for the rest of your life or you can die from its great powers. It has venom in its mouth to attack people and it comes out at night to eat the humans flesh. It eats human flesh and eats Kids like you and me.  The Vampire Vipers enemy  is the clown leopard, and its weaknesses is another terrifying creatures that have combined just like the Vampire Viper.   

Habitat/location:

It lives in graveyards and hangs upside down when you came to the graveyard it bites you on your neck you are so lucky if you survive. It hangs upside down of a tree  saying “Go away,Go away.,” he will scream at you and also spit some venom at you..  Some of the vampire viper lives in forests or in caves which are in the forest. They slither at night in peoples bedroom’s and on streets. At night you should be careful otherwise you will be its next victim.

Conclusion:

This is why you should be aware of the Vampire viper. It is deadly and you need to be very cautious if you are on the street alone and this deadly creature is watching you. Remember its weakness is other animals combined. If you come along and see this creature hide somewhere safe so that the Vampire Viper can’t see you, that is unless you a surrounded by them there will be no where to escape.  I hope you listen to this report otherwise you’ll be the next one dead . You have to be aware about this monster. Now you know what to do if you came across this monster.

What you need

Scissors
Plastic bag

Straw
sellotape

What you do
First you cut a straw into 8 equal parts so it can go on your parachute Then you sellotape the end.

Next grab a plastic bag, cut off the handles and the bottom.

After that cut a square shape, Then fold the square in half,then in a quarter,then an eight,and then a sixteenth.

Next cut of the excess plastic.

Open the shape and you will get a circle,then lay out the circle and sellotape the straw with eight equal parts down on the circle, like this.

You can put some weights on it so it can go slowly. Here is a photo and a link to the site

Yachting and Kayaking Day 3

Something I was pleased with was Me,Lily and Tracy having a go at yachting because we were just having a fun and we really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed learning was the kayaking because now I know how to turn the kayak properly.

                   
Something I found hard was the tiller why? cause when my teammates said to go left I went right.

Something that made me think was kayaking why? cause when I turned I keep on hitting rocks I had to think to move away from the rocks.

  

Something I want to get better at is kayaking on my own because I am bad at it.

         

My Kayaking story

Today I went kayaking on my own at the start I was doing ok I thought. I was turning around boom my kayak went on top of a giant rock. Luckily Kane and Dave helped me get of the rock. It was time to go under the bright so I did. Yes I said because I made it under the I had to cage up to the other I paddle as hard as I can I made it up to them. On the way back was hard I was paddling to slowly when I should of been fast. At the end  I made it.

Yachting and Kayaking for day 2

Reflection for Yachting and Kayaking. Something I was pleased with was how I tried my hardest at everything I did.

I really enjoyed learning  The tiller Lily helped me learn it  and at first I was nervous but at the end of yachting I was very confident and I think I could Teach someone else.  

Something I found hard was Kayaking by myself for the first time and I was going slowly then I usually do. 

Something that made me think was when I went under the bright  I keep on getting  sink but luckily a nice man help me out.

Something I want to get better at is Kayaking I need to be more confident in myself and not to be nervous.

This is where we were talking.

Me and Lily

This is where we were turning around.
