Zain- I heard a Whisper but no one was there



“Good morning scaredy cat”, said David. Oh quit it David, can’t you just forget about it. “Nope, if you want me to forget about it you first you will have to explain every single word  to my best mate Natsu”, exclaimed David. Alright but after that you'll be toast by my bare hands! Hey Natsu come in, follow my lead to my room, David quickly shut the curtains and close the door so it's dark because I’m going to tell what happened yesterday but I’m warning you by the time we finish this story you'll be laughing out of your chair like a funky monkey.

Yesterday David and me went to the movies to watch the new released movie named, I heard a whisper but no one was there! David had planned to watch this movie for my birthday so I happily agreed but when I found out it was a horror movie I had difficulties getting in my car. Finally when David and me got there the movie had ended, so David was pretty disappointed in me.

Then I began to walk to the door to get out of the stupid filthy cinemas but somehow the door was locked. On the side I saw lots of buttons but there was one lever so I asked David which one should I press then he answered back the lever. As I got my skinny arms touching the lever the light had went off but without any fear I still pulled the lever. Due to David’s lack of prediction the door never opened but instead I heard a whisper coming from outside in the hallway so I made my way to the exit that goes straight to the long hallway where the hall of fame is. I started to sprint to the hallway because I couldn’t find David and the lights were off. Once I arrived I heard another loud whisper but I couldn’t see anyone.

Just when I was about to cry the lights went on again.Suddenly someone tapped my back and I screamed like a dragon with fear. Everyone in my family was watching me and the young ones were laughing. Of course it was a surprise but I wondered who came up with this idea. Hmm who could it be aha it was David’s mad idea and I still have a score to settle with him.

Ok David I told Natsu all about it know it's time that I we have a little talk (whispering to each other.) David remember what you said you will stop right. “Yeh I remember now let's get this chinese loser out of your house. Hey Natsu David said your a chinese loser. “Seriously Zain once I escape from him I'm going to tell on your mum”, howled David. In your dreams! Haha got him good this time.

Petuana- Patterns on Muffins

WALT: Study patterns in algebra


Yesterday, my class and I had a decorating muffins competition, but the thing was that it had to be a repetitive pattern. We had to use at least 2 fruits and something else and I used kiwifruit, mandarins, raisins, sunflower seeds and fruit loops. Our decoration had to be a repetitive pattern because for the last 3 weeks we were learning about patterns and rules, and we had to apply our knowledge from that onto a banana muffin. I found this easy and challenging  for me because I already had a pattern in mind and because we only got 10 minutes to decorate. I also found this really interesting and fun because I have never decorated a muffin with fruit before and because we got to decorate our muffin how ever we wanted it to be. The winner of our competition was Ketura. Next time, I’d like to learn how to make calculations with time.

Andrea- SMART goals






 Dreydon and Kate visited our school to talk to us about the 80km walk they did to raise funds for schools. They also came to tell us how to set our goals. Dreydon took part in the 80km walk and Kate was the author. These incredible people have raised over $4000.00 to give to our school.

Dreydon showed us a presentation about his walk through the Hillary trail. He and the group of people he was with had planned to walk 80 km in under 24 hours. They were expecting not the greatest days for their journey as there was heavy rain, thunder and flashes of lightning. Dreydon said that the his journey was difficult but he kept going. There were photos of the trail and the people being tired. In the presentation, Dreydon mentioned goals. He said it has to be S.M.A.R.T. Specific, Measureable, Achievable, Relevant and Time bound.

Dreydon also let us take a look at some of the equipment he brought along with him. He had a camel pack to keep their water and other things, a head torch to see in the dark, a beacon just in case someone had gone lost, some cramp pills and trail walking shoes. The thing that motivated them to get past the ‘finish line’ was that they were raising funds for schools and Kate would update them with how much money they have raised.

What I learned out of it was how to make my goal(s) S.M.A.R.T and that I needed motivation and support from friends and/or family.
