The very next day he was in Tonga!

This group even recorded their own sound effects mp3 to put on the soundtrack.

The Gymnastics Test

"Amber you're up."

Her mind goes blank,

Her heart grabbing its sneakers.

What was that routine again?

She starts fretting,

Laser eyes burning through her.

No, must concentrate,

She becomes oblivious of 

the eyes staring at her.

The room is empty.

Salute, step, go,

Full stretch, pointed toes now.

"Relax, do it like it's

your last practice."

Almost there, Done!

Ending salute.

She runs to her group,

Almost fainting in relief.

We are coming to the end of our class book "The Ride of the Katipo" by Stu Duval. Today many of the children did some visualising sketches. Here is one by Bari created on the IWB and another by Amber created on a little whiteboard.

THE L.S.S

INTRO
The L.S.S (Lunar Solar Suit) is a spacesuit for people who are a bit random and like to have heaps of fun (and do no work!!). It is very stylish and comes in four types – girly girl-Sam boys-boys-and tom girls. It has an air producer that makes air from carbon dioxide so you can never run out. It works on solar and lunar sources.

HOW IT WORKS!!
The L.S.S is used for planet explorations to see if there could possibly be life & also for fun trips to all planets.

It has a built in air conditioner made for all temperatures. So that all planets can be explored from Mercury to Pluto.

The L.S.S has a connected Nintendo DSi to its fashionable arm. The Nintendo holds 1 R4 card with 25 games. Some of them are Mario carts, Kirby, Final Fantasy and Pokémon Pearl and Diamond.

My space suit also comes with a UPS (universal positioning system) that also works on solar and lunar sources.

So you don't miss your friends and family I have included a special camera that can `connect' to your family's computer, so that you can talk to them through it. It comes up on your mask.

Because you might be staying there for a while I have included a free inflatable mansion pack. Inside the inflatable home you get 2 million gallons of water, 3 gigantic boxes of dehydrated food and all the robot dragons you want.

 
And the LSS comes with special robots that do the (boring) every day space chores. 1 robot specially made for collecting space dust and rocks. Another is made for drilling beneath the surface. These robots do all the work so you can just explore and have fun.

 
CONCLUSION!!
The L.S.S is a fun space suit made for all humans that are all sizes. Its features are made to suit all kinds of personalities.

Amber's Random Camp Photostory

Environmental Care Code

We created symbols for each part of the Environmental Care Code. It helped us to understand how we need to act as visitors to a National Park.
Only eleven more days to camp!

Famous 5 Visualising

Amber drew this outstanding sketch on the Interactive Whiteboard while we were reading Chapter 18 'A Most Exciting Time' from our class book, 'Five Have A Mystery To Solve'. We were all practising our reading strategy of visualising. This means creating a picture in our mind of what is happening in the text. This helps us understand the text better.

Celebrity Reviver

The Secret Seven have used their initiative and taken their play to the big stage. Well done girls (and Stagehand Jake)! Their rehearsal is below.

Pania and Te Mata

We have been learning about Hawke's Bay. Here are some wonderful storyboards which summarise legends from our land and people. Notice their key words, main ideas and how their storyboards are in order (sequence). They are also very good illustrators! Te Mata by Amber
