Raymond's Story

My Play Date with Daniel and Reuben

Beeb, beeb!” Today l’m having a play date with Daniel and Reuben. I was thrilled and couldn’t wait. l told my dad, “Drive faster!” Soon the cool car was as fast as a space ship! 5 minutes later there was a traffic jam but we eventually made a way out. Finally, we arrived and I said hello to Daniel.

As we were heading up the stairs I asked, “Where’s Reuben?” Daniel pretended he didn’t know. When we got up the stairs Reuben suddenly jumped out of nowhere and shouted, “BOO!”  Then Reuben was bursting with laughter.

Later we made our own bookmarks. We spent a lot of time making them and soon our hands were getting sore. Just when I wanted to make the third one the doorbell rang.

Ding, dong! The doorbell was as loud as a fire truck. Then I said, “Bye, bye,” to Daniel and Reuben.

MY HOLIDAY!

RING RING went the phone. Jasmine got it. Jasmine said, "Go get the door, they're here." I was bursting with excitement because Raymond was here.

Raymond said, "Why did you not open the door?" "Because the bell is broken," I said. I ran upstairs and got the ipad. We pressed minecraft. We gave Daniel's ipad to Raymond. I played on mine. We played on survival. It was fantastic. We took turns... then we played object tag - a game where you can't tag living things but carpet and floor separated and you can tag teddy bears and pillows and couches. You can tag the top floors too but if they are touching the thing you tagged you are in.

Then we played minecraft parkour. We made the floor lava and we tried jumping over it without getting touched. We jumped from couch to couch. Then we went to the Pakuranga library because there was a minecraft programme. Raymond came but he didn't bring his ipad. We did. There was some spares so Raymond took one.

We saw one of our other friends and we played multi-player. It wasn't a long time until Daniel's server was five out of five. Me, Raymond and our other friend was playing with Daniel. There was  a surviving area. It is cool but people stopped playing on Daniel's server because Daniel's game kept on crashing.

A lot of people started to play on my server. When I looked around I saw someone with a texture pack and he was playing on mine! Raymond and me were looking, then it said no name joined the game! We went to the jail then the mystery person did too.

When we went to Raymond's house we had a play date with Justin. He brought his ipad and we played on Justin's minecraft. It was escape the prison. He showed us how to do it. We called him the parkour master then he let us play. Raymond tried but he failed on the first jump then I had a turn and I failed on the first jump. Then Daniel had a turn and he failed on the first jump too! Then Jasmine said it is time to go.

Samuel's Story

My Awesome Holidays

“Yay, wahoo,” said my sister. “I am going to beat this tough, spiky angry Ankylosaurus.”

“Samuel! Samuel. Come and help me beat this last Ankylosaurus! It’s nearly dead.”  

“Ok! Ok!”  

Oops, sorry. I haven’t told you what we were playing. You probably know what we were playing. It is, of course, Jurassic World. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” (Looking onto Felicia's iPad). I don’t think we could kill it in 67 hits so I’m sorry. That Ankylosaurus still has 210312 health points even if you are the terrifying tyrannosaurus rex, you only deal 3103 x 50 damage. “Ok! Ok!” “I’m not playinggggggggg!

Let’s ride our bikes to the park. 10 minutes later I sped off on my bike, putting my sister at my heels.

Playing Games

Jurassic world the game

Yes! I upgraded my Argentinosaurus and Limnoscelis to level 40. Now I have 4 level 40’s! Level 40 is the highest level and the hardest one to get to. The 4 level 40’s are Majungasaurus, Triceratops, Limnoscelis and Argentinosaurus.

I also have some new dinos. The new dinos are, nausutops, incredible T.rex, Ankylosaurus, Allosaurus and Gigantosaurus. My T.rex is on L.30 so is Tropeognathus, Alanqa, Ankylosaurus and utahraptor.

If I can make Alaqa into level 40 I will be able to fuse majungasaurus and Alanqa to make Legendary Alangasaurus! I also fed my Kronosaurus to level 40, now I have 5 Kronosaurus on level 40! I have my Allosaurus on level 20 my Cartaurs, Diplodocus, Tuojiangosaurus and Guanlong. I can’t believe I have legendary t.rex, on level 30!

Finally we were there. We were on the ground and at the restaurant. All the people were looking at us like we were celebrities. After that we went inside and we had food. I had grilled fish and mashed potato with salad. We were there for two hours.

Then the helicopter arrived and we went home, Suddenly the helicopter went down but came back up again, It was just the pilot messing with me.

Kiralee's weekend at JUMP

My weekend at JUMP

On Wednesday I went to JUMP with my cousins Ashton and Brooklyn. We waited for 45 minutes. Then they said the safety rules. Which was no head first. Then we raced up the stairs.

The first thing I did was the rubber square jump. I swung off the rope and flipped into the squares. I ran down the stairs and raced to the double bounce trampoline. I tried to flip but I fell on my back.

I walked to the trampolines. I bounced onto the green wall. We went to McDonalds. I got a Fanta, 3 chicken nuggets and some chips. Then we all went home. I cleaned the house when they were gone. Then I watched a movie.

The End.

My Epic Day      

“My computer is here, yippee”.  Also, it has my favourite colours; white and light blue with beaming light is on it.

It’s epic, so the second thing I did was zoom upstairs because I was curious. I opened my brand new computer and tap, tappity tap. “Mum can you believe I have my own Chromebook?”

 “Yes” she replied. But it’s time for bed,” my mum said. I said, “Ok.”

10 Minutes later.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Going to my Grandpa’s House.

I went to my grandpa’s house with my family on Thursday. It took 3-4 hours to get there. We didn’t stay in the car the whole time, we did little stops at the shops to get morning tea and lunch.

When we got to my grandpa’s house we unpacked and had some fruit and biscuits for afternoon tea. Then we were allowed to go on our phones. We stayed there for five days.

After five days we went home. At home, we unpacked and had a rest.

Writing & Reading

Today we made a piece of art in response to a piece of writing that we have studied.

The passage of writing has similes, metaphor, strong verbs and alliteration. It is about a man who is running away from some ants.

We discussed how the writing helps a reader to make a picture in their head of what is happening. Then we drew what we thought it could look like.

Come and check out our display on the back wall of our class.

Great Writing

Today, when we were sharing our writing, we found some gems from the authors in Room 8.

Millennium Trip

On Wednesday, we went on a Trip to the AUT Millennium Center. We went on a bus. When we got there we had to go in our groups. I was in group 3. We did Snorkeling, Team building, Water safety and Kayaking.

My favourite was Kayaking. When it was group 3s turn we had to put on a life jacket and sit in a boat. We had to rock the kayak and try to fall out. Next, we started to kayak. Then I got good at it.

When it  was time to go we went on the bus back to school. When we got off the bus I got my bag and then the bell went and I went home.

Millennium Activities

AUT MILLENNIUM CENTRE

Today at school was our turn and Room 17’s turn to go to the AUT Millennium Center on Wednesday 9th of March. We traveled there by bus. When we got there we were split up into groups. Room 17 was group 1 and 2, we were group 3 and 4.

First we went snorkeling with Diane then team building. We did the hula hoop circle then marshmallows and hot chocolate game. How you play is there are two groups of six. Each group has 5 marshmallows, the hard thing is that each group has to get to the other side of the court to win. The group who gets to the other side of the court first wins. But if one person in your group stands on the hot chocolate, the whole group has to start again at the beginning. The girls won the marshmallows and hot chocolate game.

Next we did the pipe and tennis ball  game.How you play was we all (girls and boys) get half a pipe then we connect all of our pipes together. After that, one person at the front rolls the ball on the pipes. After the ball has rolled on your pipe you go to the back of the line and connect your pipe to the last person in line. We kept doing this until we got to the other side of the court. We tried five times but we didn’t make it to the end of the court.

Then it was lunch time. We went down the hill to have lunch. Suddenly I slipped l fell down. Luckily I was not hurt or injured. We walked safely to lunch.

Describe

Dogs The Beach

It was a hot sunny day. I traveled to the  beach with my two dogs called honey and steam. We traveled by car. The dark coloured two dogs sit on the back seat. They look really cosy. I sat on the front warm seat it was warm from the sun beaming on it.  Finally we got to the hot relaxed Beach. I let my dogs out.

I see my dog's sprinting to the salty water. Crash! I can hear the waves starting to break . I quickly change into my togs to the sea I run. First I lay out my bright coloured towel . The water is crazy cold. I can see my dogs chasing to birds making footprints.

Millennium Center

Kayaking

Yesterday we went to the AUT Millennium Center. The  second activity we did was kayaking. We sat down. The Instructor said,  “Get a paddle. Don't hold it sideways”.  Then we learnt how to use the paddle.

Our instructor’s name was Dawn. We learnt how to capsize. I did it all by myself. Soon it was time to learn how to really kayak. First we were launched like a rocket. I wasn't very good at first but then I got good at it. Raymond’s dad could push us very far.  Then we stopped. When I stopped Kiralee crashed into me. Then I put my paddle back. I think it was fun at the Millennium center.
