Today is also very importent becuase some people wanted a beach to share with new zealand  and this other man wanted it to be his so no one else can go on it! So our school helped the good people who want to let any one go on the beach and  I am so ha[py that  we got the beach and the other man did not get it

                          We rased the money elest 2 weeks ago well our school did .

THATS MY BEACH MUFFTI STORY!

BEACH MUFTI

today it is beach mufti why you ask well we saved beach yep we fundraised over 300 dollars  we  did  it  so a man could not buy the beach because then  no kiwis can go on it to brave people were trying to get 3 millon dollars so they could buy it so others can still go on it we had to wear stuff you would wear to the beach it's fun.

Beach mufti day

Today it’s beach mufti because we raised money to buy a beach at the top of the south island. 
Heaps of schools helped and the government. 
So that's why we are celebrating it’s really fun.

Mufti day

Today we had to dress up in beach clothes why you say. We had to dress up because on the top of the south there's is beach that someone was going to sell a part of this awesome beach. A very rich man was going to buy it and band all kiwis from the beach. So 2 kiwis got together and raised enough money to buy the beach. Our school told all the kids to bring a gold coin donation and dress up on friday for the cause. Our school raised over 300 dollars.

Beach mufty

On friday Huapai had a beach mufty day to fundraise so people cant buy a beach.It is a very good thing because if they buy the beach no kiwis are allowed on it any more.

On friday people were allowed to dress up as beach themes I dressed up as a beach person getting dressed.Then We had a photo then we had assembly it was a great day we managed to buy the beach  which is awesome.

Beach Mufti

Two weeks ago our school raised $310. It was for a local beach at the top of the South Island. A man over seas wanted to buy it for his friends and family to enjoy. Though we raised 1 million dollars, so we still have our beautiful beach. Because of this we had a celebration of beach themed mufti. I wore my black-and-white palm tree shorts and a tee that says CALIFORNIA with the exact same palm trees on the bottom!!☺

BEACH MUFTI

Today it is beach mufti. We had a beach mufti because we had to put 1$ into school to save a beach and i think its kind to save a beach Because its for everyone in the world i think the beach is going to be cool right now.

And we were lucky enough to get about 300 dollars from the hole school but not all Beach Mufti Is Cool Right Now So Cool.

                                                        I like beach mufti.

Swim Sports / School Fun Day Writing by Room 21

SWIMMING SPORTS AT SCHOOL

first of we split into groups luca and I were in the same group we went swimming first at about 9.30 9.40 we  finished at 10.00  then we went to played volleyball wow that was a fun time we learned how to play i was with luca i hole time after the volleyball then we went to play t.ball are team won it was amazing are last thing that i did was non stop cricket it was funny when we started it went by in 38 minutes after that i hurt my wrist but i watched the water slide with luca it was a fun day

Today I am going to tell you about my experience at swim sports.

Swim sports Is where year 5 to 8 race each other. I chose to race in freestyle breastroke backstroke a butterfly. I also chose to do 2 lengths backstroke. I came 3rd in freestyle 3rd in breaststroke 2nd in backstroke 3rd in butterfly and finally 3rd in 2 lengths backstroke. So I think I did pretty well.

Swim sports day

When all the seniors went to senior swimming sports everybody went on two buses to go to massey high school along the way I sat next to my best friend Amelia because we have been in the same class 5 years  now that's cool too.

When we got here we all jumped out of the bus But luckily the yr5 girls went first for the freestyle race.

First we chose a seat to put our stuff like swinging towels and water bottles.

Then we had to go in 5 even groups the first group went then the third and evenly it was my turn to race. I lined up and mrs sefton did the clapper when it went I dived and started to swim

When I got to the end I got 2nd place  I had to head to the  marking table they asked me what place I’[p came and what house I am.

But then it  was the yr5 backstroke  I came 1st in that too same with my other friend Flynn I was very surprised with that because she has never came 1st in that before.

After that was breaststroke I came 3rd in that then it was butterfly but I hadn't done that before and could you believe it I came 1st I was so excited.

Then it was time for the two length races and I did freestyle and backstroke. I came last in backstroke and 4th in freestyle.

Then we  got on the bus and I went in the 2nd bus but i ended up going on the 1st bus with Amelia then the bus driver put  music on and she sang to it too.

Today I will be writing about my experience at swim sports.  First I did freestyle I got 4th place.  Next I did breaststroke I tried my best but I was still proud of myself for coming 4th.  The last race of the day that I gave a go was backstroke I love backstroke I achieved 4th place again!!  That was my day at swim sports.  I had a lot of fun.  I hope you enjoyed my writing.

Sports day

My first activity was swimming in the pool. What we did is our group stood in a line. The person closest to the teacher would weave under and over the rest of the people in line.Then the line would move up and the next person would go.

    Next I did volley ball, and learnt 2 ways to pass the ball to my partner. The first one she taught us is the one which we made a thumb, we connected it with the other hand and folded our thumbs down. That was our first fist. The second one was to hit your palm against the ball. Kera and I were partners and got a rally of five.Those are the ways we leart to do volley ball.

     After that we did t-ball.I got to two runs and then someone got me out but I don’t mind. After all it’s all about fun.

     Finally we did non-stop cricket, I have a great time. I did pretty well and got around the wickets three times. Also, I was a great bowler. I got five people out and got three extra turns.

       My day was a fun and successful one, as you can see.   

On 19th friday I stayed at school and did are fun day. First we did volley balley with stacey. I learnt new skills like how to serve and hit the ball.

after that we did t-ball with miss T. I got too 2 runs but I got out l on the that run.

next we did non stop cricket with mr du plooy it was fun. The way was out is because I hit the ball into the astro turf.

Swim sports day

on swim sports day i did 5 Activities and thay were volley ball t ball cricket swimming and water slide. On the swim sports I stayed at school and my favorite activity was swimming my last one.

On the 19 of February was swim sports at Massey high school with all the year fives (except the people who doesn’t feel comfortable to go).We went on a bus but the bus was huge like a truck with a truck head.

When we arrived at Massey high school we got dressed and started swimming.We had  to wait for the year five girls to go first. We did freestyle,backstroke, breastroke and butterfly.

fourth,second and third.

SWIMMING SPORTS!

On friday I went to SWIMMING SPORTS if you were not conferdent you stay at scool and play games with ther other year 5 , 6 ,  7  ,8  but i went to SWIMMING  SPORTS it  was so fun I love racing now because it gives us a huge boost what I mean about a huge boost is when you are so nervous then when your in your race you just feel so brave and proud to be in that race! then you go so much faster and then you feel like you can win every race.  

I was very proud of coming first in two races ! I had a lot of fun I loved diving it felt like I was in the air for so long!

At  lunch I was tired but I had my two lengths freestyle i was scared nervous you can say but after I was happy really happy because I tried! When you are on your 2 /3 even 4 race you're still scared but you're fine what I mean is you have done one race but you're still nervous because you are scared for how your up against.

Hope you enjoyed my story of swimming sports  !

SWIM SPORTS DAY AT MASSEY

On friday it was swimming sports. The first race was freestyle I was so nervous I really didn't want to come last. On your marks get set go. The race was on I was swimming the best I’ve ever swam before, so when I touch that wall I’ll be proud whatever place I came. It turns out I came second in my heat but it wasn't good enough to get into the finals. But someone told me I nearly tied first.

Creative Writing

Today we were given this story starter for writing....


She had been chasing it all day. Now, the crow had it.

Time was ticking. Time was running out. She tiptoed towards the creature, seeing the precious key it held precariously in its sharp, cruel beak. It let out an irritating, throaty cackle, its soot-black wings ruffling gently as it manoeuvred itself on top of the clock; it was ready to take flight.

Time was ticking. Time was running out. She tiptoed towards the creature, seeing the precious key it held precariously in its sharp, cruel beak. It let out an irritating, throaty cackle, its soot-black wings ruffling gently as it manoeuvred itself on top of the clock; it was ready to take flight.

Knowing she might only have a few seconds before her opportunity disappeared, she took another cautious step forward. Time seemed to slow, her body tingled in excitement and her heart thudded in her chest. It was now or never…

Our challenge was to continue the story (using either he/she).

Our goal was to be creative and enjoy our writing.  
We were also focusing on being able to organise our ideas into paragraphs with like ideas.

Here are a few of our ideas....

The Chance for the Golden Key

When the crow was on the old rusty clock the boy took one cautious step toward the crow. His heart was pumping quick and he was sweating.

He doesn’t know if he will get a chance to grab the golden key. Then the crow flapped it’s wings and was ready for take off.

The boy saw a rock by the table. He sprinted to the table and got the rock and he was ready to throw it at the crow. This rock was his only hope for the golden key that he needed!

The crow flew up to the roof and the boy aimed. He threw the rock at the crows feathers and the crow squawked. His beck opened up and the key dropped and the crow hit the window and died.
Kelvin

She knew in a minute or two the crow would swallow the key to her new 3 story house, but she didn't give up that easy. Instead she made a trap to stop it from hiding it in the bell. So she dashed to the shops to get some rope and boots to climb the clock.

She knew she had to bring something gold to swap with her new key. When she got up to the top she saw the crow building a nest under the bell, suddenly she had an idea. If she threw the key to the crow she could ring the bell with her rope to hit the crows head.

The crow saw the key that she brought him and swapped, so she climbed back down and the town gave her a ginormous trophy to put in her giant 3 story house.  

The next day she had a wide smile because she was going to climb up the tower at the bell and leave a present for the crow.

The Last Chance

The crow had got it she had no chance of saving it now.  She started to cry, her mother's antique key was gone, gone for good.  Suddenly, the fluttering of the crows wings stopped ... she looked up.  The crow had transformed into a wizard.  She was astounded to see a wizard.  “Here is your key” he said. “Thank you very much sir” she said back.  “Can I show you something?” replied the wizard. “Sure” she said back.  “Before we go what is your name?” the wizard asked  “ Kailey” she replied

“Let's go Kailey” he said.  They walked down the hallway until they stopped at a door that Kailey had never seen before.  “Where are we?” Kailey asked.*  “Well you see, whenever the holder of the key walks down this exact hallway the secret door will appear, only that key can open the door.  If another key is put into the keyhole the holder of that key will disappear…. forever” said the wizard.  “That’s intense”

Tyler

The Flying Horse

She runs .... the crow went flying out the door it was flying higher and higher up. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes as tight as she could. Then jumped as high as she could. She put all her body strength into to this one important jump. When she felt the black feathers in her hand she grabbed hold.

As the girl opened her eyes she was gliding through the sky she looked up to see if the bird was still there but somehow the bird turned into a flying horse. As soon as she saw the horse she screamed. The horse kept on flying then it flew into the woods a lot of branches hit her she even bumped into a bird's nest.

Lucy

Key

She jumped up to get the key and when she touched it the crow disappeared.

A secret door opened. She went in. The minute she steps forward she thought she was in a fog. It was freezing cold. She said “There is food everywhere.”

Hello!!! she said. 5 dogs came running over. “AHHHHHHHHHH” she said . They started to lick her. All of a sudden the food was all gone.

She was in bed back at home. Her mum was in her room saying that it was time to go school. So she got dressed for school.

Isabel

The Key

She jumped at the clock, but all it did was give her some bruises. She tried again, luckily this time it scared the crow off the clock and it dropped the key. The crow spun around and started to swoop down to catch it, but she jumped and swiped it from him.

“I'm so glad I’m on the school basketball team,” she thought. “Now to get rid of this crow.” She grabbed a broom and yelled “MUUUM!” Her mum came into the room and sighed...

Lydia

Breaking Dawn

She climbed the old stone holder of the town's clock. She sees the crow. The crow was just about to leave then she took a leap of faith and the crow pounced off the clock and she caught the crows silky tail feathers.

The girl fell down on the soft grass. She still had the crow's tail feathers in her hand. The crow fluttered and screeched it still had the key in its black beak. The girl looked at the key and smiled. She said ‘Oh crow my dear old friend what were you doing with my key” . The bird flew away and the girl followed him. The crow went over mountains and rivers.

The girl started to get sleepy. She said to the crow ‘ Can't we rest my dear old friend “ she begs. The crow settles down on a old tree and sleeps. The girl found a nice patch of grass to sleep on. In the morning the crow stood on the sleeping girl. She yawned and she asked ‘ Time to go already crow?’ The crow answered with a squawk and then flew to a nearby bush.

Then when she got closer she saw that the bush had berries on it. Now she had a big smile on her face and said ‘ OH you really are a wonderful crow” . The crow was glad to help.

STAR of the day blog writing - Quinn

Today I was star of the day.  We  have lots of jobs like to read the notices, to tell the teacher who is here or not from our wall sign in, and to write on our class blog.

For writing we wrote about why Allisa and Traci are lucky to have us in their class.  I think they are very lucky because we are good at art and drawing, and we are sporty.

Here are some of the things our class wrote:
(they are only pieces out of each person's writing)

Firstly, they are lucky to have me because my friends 

always say I’m very funny and a good actor, 

so I will bring a lot of humour to the class and 

I will tell a lot of good jokes. Lucy

I am sporty. I like soccer and touch. I like

PE, but not when it is HOT. So when it comes to sports I will say YAY, but as I said I don’t like it when it is hot. So that is the first reason why the they are lucky. BY Isabel.

Let's not waste any time. As you can see I'm great at writing especially when it comes to stories. Of course if I'm great at writing I have to be awesome at reading too and spelling.            By   Lydia

Firstly, I am very helpful.  I can help take groups if Allisa or Traci are busy.  I can also show other children how to do  things that they might not be great at.  That shows that I am very helpful.  That is the first reason why Allisa and Traci are lucky to have me in room 21.

By Tyler

Secondly, I love art . Some art looks hard, but it's really easy its like a mind game to see if it's hard to do or not.

By Stella

Jokes are why they are lucky to have me .  I tell jokes that make people laugh.  I am writing good jokes.  I am looking forward to showing it.  That is why they are lucky to have me.

Arnaud.

My second reason is, I am very sporty. I am a massive All Blacks fan and I love swimming. I’m not a huge fan of  triathlon and  athletics. I am good at hockey and netball. It is fun doing PE with friends, because I learn a lot of new skills. Being sporty is why Allisa and Traci are lucky to have me in their class, because I could teach them new skills.

Firstly, I am very helpful. I can be helpful in many different ways like  being a leader and listening well. Being a leader can be helpful because at times it can be tricky for Traci and Allisa. Other people will follow my example. Also, listening means that they don’t need to repeat what they said to me. That is how I can be helpful.
