Hornby Primary's 5 Awesome days

 Kia ora readers, 

Last week on Thursday, Hornby Primary started EOTC week which stands for Education Outside The Classroom. 

The places we went to were Adrenalin Forest along with Spencer Park, Mega Air, Top Team Competition, roller skating, Amazing race around town, Margaret Mayh, Botanical Gardens, Surfing at Sumner beach. 

One of my favourites was roller skating. At first I didn't know how to skate. I was crawling on the floor but then I decided to take little steps slowly, going faster, beginning to be really good at it. I went from being worried and scared to good and amazing at it but still fell over. 

At roller skating I also learnt how to stop myself with my roller skates by leaning forward on an rubber part at the front of the roller skates.

Some of my highlights was playing dodge ball at Mega Air, playing tag with my friends and teacher at Sumner Beach on the sand. Last one playing in the water.  Here's an extra one; in the Amazing Race, my team came first and is going to get prizes!

That day I was excited, happy and impatient.

Thank you for viewing my blog. I hope to post more next week!

Feel free to comment.

Last Day of Swimming!

Hello readers,

today I am going to be telling you about my 2 weeks of swimming.

Through out this week of swimming me and my group learnt some survival skills and techniques.

We learnt a stroke for survival learning. (can't remember name)

The thing about swimming that I disliked most was a move called wiggly worms and my most liked thing in swimming was breathing arm and bubble arm.

I had a goal that was too swim full length without a kickboard and achieved it.

My favourite thing about swimming was jumping off a platform into the water. I was really proud that I could also touch the floor in the deep end.

Have a nice day thank you for reading my blog!

 Ni Hao, Xin Chao readers and welcome back to another blog post,

This Term for 2 weeks Hornby Primary School are learning how to swim or you could call it swimming lessons. First room 9 and room 2 our buddy class went on a bus then drove to Canterbury Swim School.

After the bus ride both classes walked inside and got ready for swimming. Lastly both classes were split into groups and headed off to one of the pools with their swimming instructor, my instructor was a woman.

I learnt which of my arms is the bubble arm and which is my breathing arm for arm circles. 

My goals for the term are trying not to struggle in deep water and arm circles without a board.

Have a nice day, Bye!

Marleigh & Krystallynna's Second Playdate!

Talofa lava, readers

This term we have been learning to write narrative stories. The purpose of narrative writing is to catch the readers attention. 

First we had to write our story on a narrative writing planner labeled with different parts of a story like characters, setting, or problem.

Then we made a google doc and put our story together from what was on the planner.

We had to include similes, full stops, settings, descriptive words, 5 senses, and problem or personification.

One of my favourite sentences is I delightfully said "hello!" whilst nervously clenching my shoulders into my chest.

One thing I could improve on is finding another word for delightful.

Have a nice day!

My holidays!

 In the holidays I had a play date with my best friend Krystallynna. Last Saturday we went mini golfing and shopping. When we went shopping we bought fidgets, clothes and ice cream. Next we meet up with Krystallynnas family at the Caddy shack and did some mini golfing together. At the caddy shack there were different golf areas labeled with a number so me and Krystallynna went to random golf pakours not knowing that we had to start from 1 to 18 with the golf areas. The last golf area gave you an lollie pop when you had finished all the golf pakours and would take your ball away so when me and Krystallynna lost our balls getting a lollie pop we were so confused. Then me and Krystallynna went to the front desk and asked "how come our ball won't come out of that golf pakour lollie machine. They had nicely said that "we had to do it in order from 1 to 18" and then gave us another ball for our misunderstanding. Me and Krystallynna carried on playing mini golf in order. Finally we went out to Mcdonalds and got some food. Soon after an 1hr we left to Krystallynnas house and hung out for about 2hrs. I ended up getting exciting news about me going with Krystallynnas family to the Garden city

Tree house Writing

 

I woke up laying on the crunchy, musty forest floor. I could see multi-coloured flowers scattered across the forest floor.  My brown, slim, shiny, hair was covered in leaves and had twigs tangled in it. I managed to take out some of it and could walk a couple of miles from where I woke up.

 Tree branches with green moss and poison ivy were covering my way. I could see squashed flowers on the floor. Leaves and tree branches were falling down off trees when I saw a humongous, wood tree house. “I had never seen anything like it,” I said to myself.

 I made my way across the forest floor in my pale, bare feet to the tree house ladder.

 When I climbed to the top, a splinter slid into my finger. I started looking around slowly and the tree house kept creaking. I could feel the splinter going deeper into my finger. Camouflaged insects were jumping out of tight spaces and spider webs were made in corners. The tree house reminded me of an ancient old tree house in egypt. Damp, muddy dirt was scattered across the ground and then I fell over into a pile of leaves being so clumsy, scratching the side of my face.

That's when I decided to be creative. I got some leaves and flax strips with tree sap on it then wrapped it around my scratch as if my face was cut open. There wasn't much sun, just little areas with some sun shining through with bitter air floating around smoothly. 

I could hear rustling in the bushes and leaves slapping each other every time the howling breeze flew roughly across the forest. I saw blueberries and a mango tree that was about 6 feet tall in the emergent layer. I decided to be thoughtful and clever. “The mangos would be too high to reach but would fill me up and the blueberries would fill me up half as much as the mango's did” I said to myself thinking carefully.

I decided to go for the blueberries. I folded flax strips together to make a basket for the blueberries and so the blueberries won’t fall out of my hands. It started to rain heavily. Thick tree trunks were getting wet, dripping on the berries. I climbed back up slowly step by step. When I got to the top I knew that from then on things were gonna be okay and that I could give this tree house a good makeover.

Hi everyone again,

Here is a piece of writing that I wrote this week. We were learning about recounts and we watched a video of  thieves  at a gas station robbing the store. We had to write this on our term 1 writing document,I spent atleast 2,3 days on this writing.

I hope you enjoyed my writing!

Have a nice day!

Late in the night I was in a parking lot while two fellow young men were in a car in front of a gas station.

The first man was tall, had long pink lips that had looked like it had been stretched out 10x more then normal lips. The second man was short,had lips that were 5 meters wide and had a neon blue jumper.

While watching them with suspiciousness in my eyes I saw them getting ready to walk into the shop with a big black bag. The second guy went  speeding into the shop bumping into the window as if he didn't see it while the first guy walked tall and straight. I watch them as they get inside when all of the sudden the first guy grabbed his gun pointing it at the cashier and the second guy put the black bag on the desk,the cashier just stared at the two thieves until he got a chill of Sacredness up his spine the second thief ran side jumped on the shelf to the counter to end with a sore fall on the ground.
