Olympic recount

In the Rio Olympics,two very good men's sevens sides played each other,New Zealand and Fiji. It was the quarterfinals for the gold medal. Everyone in the crowd and on the field were pumped about this game. Their win over Kenya was good,but they would have to play better than that to beat the flying Fijians.

Sonny Bill Williams was injured in the previous game against Kenya.

The Fijians are a good side,so the New Zealanders had to play to the best of their ability. Both teams sang their national anthem proud and loud. After that, everyone was silent in the crowd waiting for the kick off.

P3.It was a good game in the first half, but then the flying Fijians just tired the NZ team out and then just ran around them and scored a try that won them the game. The final score was 12-7 to Fiji. All of the New Zealand fans were disappointed. As for the, Fijians they made history by getting their first GOLD MEDAL EVER and their first medal of any type ever. Even though New Zealand lost they still played against 2 other teams and beat them. So we came 5th over all.

Writing term 3

WALT: spell words that require us to chunk or sound them out.

In the holidays Rhys invited me to go to Bounce with him. Rhys was supposed to pick me up but he was a bit late. So my Mum dropped me off at there house. Then I hopped in the car and we drove off to bounce.T-dub and Alfie came to bounce as well.

When we got there the first thing I did was get in a zorb, but first I had to figure out how to get in it. I wasn't supposed to go in without a stamp but I was too eager to go in. Rhys's Mum called us out to get our stamps. So I got my stamp and then I kept on playing.I played in the zorbs for basically the whole time.

There were Bouncy castles around the whole place. There was an obstacle course, an inflatable car and a inflatable rock climbing place.I went on all of them but some were a bit lame. My favourite bouncy castle was the obstacle course because I got sweaty and it was a good hiding spot.

Air hockey was one of the mini game there. I vs T-dub and I smashed him 3 to 7. Then I had a game against Rhys and T-dub but they said that I couldn't play anymore because I was too hard.

After that Alfie randomly found 2 dollars on the ground. He found a basketball game at the back of the building. It had I think 4 or 5 balls that you could shoot into the hoop. Alfie and I had a go at it and we got about 60 balls in. It was a really awesome day and I want to go back soon.

My next steps are using more information in my writing.

How to make a star

In reading Mr B we had to make a movie teaching people how to make string things.

Earth to Uranus

Task: write a set of instructions on how to get from Earth to a planet of your choice.

WALT:

- a chosen planet’s location in the solar system.

- a chosen planet’s distance from earth.

- planets you will pass by to get to the chosen planet.

- obstacles that may be on the journey, e.g. Atmosphere, moons...

I was an Apprentice.

I’m beginning to communicate about my inquiry learning.

Next time I need to write my instructions as instruction not facts.

Writing

I notice sentence structure…

When I read I will notice short sentences and name the nouns and verbs used.

I describe vocabulary … 

I can name an object and talk about how it moves using precise verbs.  

Before

writing workshops we chose a writing workshop to go in. There was narrative and poetry. I chose poetry because I like to rhyme things and I wanted to carry on learning about poetry.This term I have been learning about poetry with Mr Wallace. We went outside to find an Autumn object. We smelt,listened,touched and looked around to find something autumy.Then we came in to brainstorm words about Autumn. We looked up words to do with Autumn. Then we drew a sketch of our object and rote a poem about Autumn. Mr Wallace taught us about sketching so we didn't stuff it up. We edited it by checking our spelling and then coloured it in and added in a poem that we rote. Then we took a photo of our drawing. We used our iPads to put it on blogger.

Here is my drawing and poem.

We had to do a story about three things a key,duck and jandel.

This is my story

Once there was a duck called Roopert. He had yellow webbed feet,blue feathers under his wings,black legs,orange beak and the rest of his body was white. One day he found these weird things. It said”flip flops”. Roopert thought for a bit and then tried them on. Roopert wore on his head,it didn't feel right. Then he tried it on his wings and then tried to fly. It made him sink. Then he tried it on his webbed feet. It felt just wright. So he walked around his pond bragging and showing off about his new flip flops. People came to feed the ducks and they were throwing bread in the water. Roopert forgot about his flip flops and jumped in the water. He was enjoying the bread the bread so much. Then he saw a girl with flip flops on and remembered about his flip flops. He rushed to shore and saw a turtle wearing them.

“Excuse me Mr turtle but I think those flip flops are mine”,said Roopert.

“Oh no they're not”,said turtle.

“Yes they are I left them on the shore”,said Roopert.

“Well you're not getting them”,said turtle.

“This turtle is very rude “,thought Roopert. 

So Roopert slapped the turtle in the face.

“Ha take that loser”,said Roopert.

And stole the flip flops off him and wondered off. Then Roopert flew on to the top of a building and found a key. It had numbers on it. The numbers were Rll49. What could in possibly open or unlock? Roopert walked back to his pond still looking down at the key in his wing.

“What are you looking at Roopert”,yelled a duck.

Roopert didn't reply. He just kept on walking until… THUD! Roopert fell straight on his face. He looked back and saw a handle sticking out of the ground. So he got a spade and started digging around it. After he dug it,he pulled it out and it had the same numbers on the key. It was a chest,a heavy chest and a large chest. Roopert hiffed the key in and twisted it this way and that way and then finally it opened.

“OMG”,said Roopert.

It was a chest full of duck food. He had to hide it from the other ducks. So he went home and got a wagon. He went back to the place and got it. Roopert raced back home and slammed the door.

“Few”,said Roopert puffed.

He opened the chest and started scoffing his face with duck food.

“What a life”,Roopert said.

It lasted him six years. He broke the world record of the fattest duck.

Writing 100

Once I was at paint ball and while we were playing Bob Marley came down on a pink fluffy unicorn with a cool as paint ball. It was a sniper rifle but it had a scope on it,it had a pump action and a stand. He was singing "pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows". Bob Marley and the unicorn just kept on singing the same song while shooting us. He had hard as pellets. The unicorn pooped out rainbow droppings. The two demolished everyone who tried to shoot them. They only got shot about four or five million times together.

Writing 100 is when you have to write 100 words about anything. But it has to be exactly 100 words,not one less, not one more.
