Go Cart Slides

Go Kart Derby racing

Go Kart derby racing!
It was so much fun at the go-kart derby we had the best time going downhill. We had a few crashes and tears. I had the biggest crashes and I had the second fastest go-kart the first time I went down the beginner level first then Charlie B went after me we made it down without crashing. We had to drag the go-karts back up the hill. I was pumped, I then had another go followed by Liana. Two times in a row Zahnae crashed then everyone else had a go. We moved on to the expert level, Charlie.B went first, he made it down without crashing then I had a go I was shoved over the edge by Miss Dods. I speed down the hill I hit the bumpy part, bounced left then right then hit the sheep rut and jumped up and came down on my front wheels and flipped. It hurt! My next run was much the same I went flying down the hill, hit the bumps and spun out again, it sucked but it was fun, then some other people went down the hill I was forbidden to go down on my go-kart again so I took someone else's when they didn’t want to go. I helped some other people drag there go karts up the hill again, helped a Room one go down the hill on their box derby. It was fun and I can't wait till Gisborne intermediate comes so we can do it all over again.

Camp Wellington

Today I worked on sisomo and creating a DLO about our school camp in Wellington
I learned that you need a good amount of time for each slide
I really enjoyed creating the sildes writing
I found it hard to get the right amount of time for each slide
I found it easy to pick the music
Next time I would try to do it quicker
This blog post shows I am a Stepping Up blogger   

camp

On Sunday we drove the 8 and half hour drive to Wellington it was really boring but it was well worth it. We had an amazing meal with Silver Stream Retreat when we finally got to our destination. day1. The next day we had our morning run with Carole and then we got on the bus and went to the amazing Parlament. We had to go through metal detectors and Mrs Dods was pulled aside to be patted down, it was only the metal on her jacket. We had the Parliament teacher guiding us he told us a lot of interesting facts he was amazing because he was quite good at acting like the Prime Minister. It was cool going to Te Papa and seeing all the cool exhibitions. I especially liked the Gallipoli exhibition. Day 2. Today we visited the amazing Weta Workshop we saw a huge Orc with scares covering his face and body. in Weta Workshop we had a guid named Reese he was real cool, inside it was like a wonder land of amazing sculptures .
We also went to the Wellington Zoo, it was real cool seeing all the amazing animals. My favorite was the Cheetah and I really loved feeding the Giraffe. It was so cool seeing all the monkeys and all the other amazing animals.
Day 4. Today we went to Zealandia it was so cool to seeing the amazing things that they are doing in that valley and then we went to Jumparama it was so cool doing flips and things in to the foam pit and doing backflips and front flips on the olympic tramp. The next day we woke up really early and got on the ferry and cruised over to the south island to Picton and had a look at the 9th oldest ship in the world the Edwin Fox and we were actually got to touch it and look at it and then the long ferry ride home.

reflection

I liked doing this type of maths because it was fun doing the drawing and following the line of symmetry .                                                                                                                                       
I enjoyed do the zealandia report because we learnt many amazing facts about the amazing spot in wellington it was sad news about the stout being in zealandia.                                                               
I loved doing the imagine a night writing because our base was a piece of our own writing and it was fun thinking of the many ideas.

hunting with mates

I was out hunting with mates, watching bush fold out beneath the land cruiser as we rumbled along the steep farm track. We reached were the track slipped out we turned the truck of and let the dogs out.The wind was strong blowing in our face.We walked about 50 odd yards down the hill before our main dog butch winded and ran of into the bush followed by bud and rip.We had sue on a rope ,after half a hour we all of sudden we heard a few distant barks and then seilenes the,gps tracker said that the dogs were chasing straight towards us .We started moving towards them when they broke into a bail, we ran down to the bail they had massie black and tan boar. sue ran in and hit like a ton of bricks the boar just flicked her off broke. Smashed through bracken right though charlie's legs flicked angus about 3 feet in the air, and ran into pig tunnel the dogs ran in and held it. So we had no choice but to go in there after a quick game of paper scissors rock, I lost, and I slowly walked towards the tunnel with encouragement by my mates ,you will be fine it's only a 2 tonna that will rip your guts out, shut up Hohepa I snap as I get on to my hands and knees and start crawling up the tunnel. to where the dogs are with the shortened 4/10.I snuck the tunnel the claustrophobic feeling all around me the manky boar smell wafting up my nostrils . I heard the desitive sound of a boar chomping his tusks. sue was lying on the ground as the others bailed around her.I quickly grabbed her and crawled out again put her to the side and went back in to the danger zone for the second time.I saw the pig for a split second boom I shot with the 4/10 he dropped I went towards the boar in the dim light he slowly staggered to his feet shook his head and flung butch off. He saw me and to my concern he was rapidly closing the gap.I turned and started crawling as fast and my 4 legged body would carry me.I was just about at the end of the tunnel when the boar caught up and finished the journey for me with a good flick of the head. he just came out of the tunnel boom the boar dropped. Everyone looked at me I shrugged just as I did that I saw a hand in front of my face that helped me get up. did I mention we were poaching, yip I just shot a 248 pound boar in front of the owner of the farm.

Imagine a night

Imagine a night when you slip off a cliff and the clouds carry you away.

Imagine a night when birds turn into fire breathing dragons.
                                                                                                                                              Imagine a night when little reptiles turn into dinosaurs.

Imagine a night when harmless tiny fish turn into bone crunching crocodiles.

Imagine a night when native water birds were knee deep in the middle, of a lake, munching on crocodiles.

Imagine a night when your getting dive bombed by dragons blowing fire balls at you.

Zealandia

Zealandia

We were having a school trip to zealandia we had a guide but he tripped and broke his ankle. Our teacher sent me off to get help. I was lost in the bush and it was getting dark real quick I had to find help quick, Soon it was so dark that I couldn't see where I was going but the birds that seemed harmless before were now enormous fire breathing dragons and the reptiles were now large dinosaurs that were now smashing through the bush to eat me.
I was ducking and diving through the bush I found a trickling stream and followed it to the water edge where I thought the little fish were harmless but there were crocodiles lunging out of the water at me and the native water birds were walking in the middle of the lake with the water only up to their knees munching on crocodiles.
I panicked and and ran into a massive tuatara that was trying to bite my head off. I ran back down to the lake and ran along the edge off the lake towards a distant light it was a cabin, I sprinted and tripped and fell countless times
I eventually got to the cabin. I told the man about the guide and the monsters and he told me not to waste his time and shut the door in my face. I ran to the next cabin and a nice lady opened the door, I told her about everything she called the cops and they turned up ten minutes later and went into the bush. I warned them to careful as we went in to the bush . Half an hour later we had snuck through the bush to where the class was. They were getting dive bombed by dragons, they were blowing fireballs at the class who were ducking and diving. We got the guide on a stretcher and walked him out. I was walking and slipped off the edge and fell towards the ground just as I was about to hit the ground I woke up in my camp bed.
