My dream outta this Holiday

25/10/11
outta this world holiday
Beep....Beep.....Beep. Screamed the alarm.I tried to ignore it but it was just to loud.I wanted to stay in my dream.My dream outta this world holiday.

In my dream holiday I soared through the air with a rocket to Uranus. I was wearing A fine astro suit with a glass bucketon my head.

Nine and a half years past and I finally made it there it was scary knowing that know one was there, It felt like am the last man standing.

I planted my NZ flag on the planet so when the amrecians come they know an New Zealander was here. I saw somthing reflecting on my flag it was a green glow in the distance. It was coming closer and closer untell.It was a ugly looking alien.

Where The Heck Is Clevedon ?

Clevedon

is in the south of Auckland 2km away from manukau

Auckland town center is about an hour away from clevedon

The special thing about this place is there village farmer market

If you approach Clevedon the top of the hill on West Road you will see a spectacular view of the Clevedon valley laid out before you and to the left; Clevedon village.

Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that qualified for the World Cup.

I found out information about Clevedon history

The location in Auckland is Clevedon

Something special about this place Is there farms

A 'potted' history of the place is if u are in the town you will see

A hill on West Road you will see a spectacular view of the Clevedon valley laid out before you and to the left; Clevedon village.

If it has it's own symbol of some sort.

Silly sport day

On a Tuesday morning I noticed Mr Harris had equipments in his hands.

It's a sign that we are doing sports. Mr Harris had

told the class, instead of doing our normal activities,

the class is going to be doing silly sports.

It was going to happen on the bottom field, where it's quiet and peaceful.

And further away from other classrooms. Not untill the rest of team five came.

We were already at our first activty and we had to team up with a partner.

I teamed up with my good pal, Jephte. We may not be

good at first, but we could only give it our best.

We kept on dropping the ball and tripping up, but it was

absolutely funny.

After time past, we moved onto a new exciting game, which involved water.

This sounds like we are all going to get wet.The instructions

was to pass a wet sponge with water, all the way down

to the end and squeeze into a bucket. I was keen and joined into a group.

Which had myself, Sione, Jordan, Aliza, Jarna and Denim.

Our team did not win but still it was funny because Jordan had made a big slip and

ended up with dirt on his back.

The next activity was with Mrs Lagitupu. The game was ball tag. This was a familiar game,

because I had played it along time ago,

but still remember how the game goes and how to avoid who your playing against.

And once again we quickly got into four teams. I forgot who was in my team,

maybe because it was getting too exciting and everyone could not wait and play.

However for one thing, we were........... NOT THAT GOOD.

Our team sadly lost one game and draw one.

The one that we had a draw was a close one because there was only

one more person to get in our team and that person was,

(Drum roll please) I don't like to brag, but it was me!

.

With determination and quick thinking I took a save for the team.

I felt so proud, everyone in the group were happy. It was time to move on.

We travel like 20 meters to our next activity, but it was worth moving fast. The reason,

you do not want to get hit by a flying ball and seriously get hurt.

Because the next sport was the catapult game.We had to

land a ball in the hoop. Know one got it in but when Miss V walked passed she said

"if one of you guys get me it's 100 points" so we tried and tried but,

know one was able to get her until Miss Tito had a go,

and some of the people playing she got her.

The sports day ended with so much of fun, everyone being involved and taking part.

I really enjoyed it. Especially being proud with my own quick thinking and our

team encouraging each other on.

I hope it happens next year and there are more fun-filled activities!

Cross country

Have you ever felt ready for a big race , then walking into the class hearing your teacher say to the class your doing a compeletly different route.It all started off with big excitement untill Mr harris killed my buzz bye saying “You will be running 3km’’.I was shocked.

Bang!! the two wood colided as the year 7 girls dashed of down the line.After ten minutes it was the year seven boys. I was bursting with excitment but also having tingley fellings in my legs.

It was down to this, READY.... SET............ GO! I paseded my self but saw everyone else going hard out.

I was half way there and i was exhausted so I stop and waited for my friend Unaloto. he told me to go right when we were on the bridge. I didn’t listen and went the way that lead the right way.Then on the track he sliped twice and I picked him up. I think I will be a great life saver.

The thing that wasn’t nice was that five secounds later when I picked him up the secound time he ditched me.’’HEEEY WAIT FOR ME”I shouted at him .

I was running nerly at the end where the play ground was and I saw him sitting down waiting and waiting.

I am looking forward to next years cross country and this time im going to beet UNALOTO!!!!!!

Thanks to jordan for checking it

Design for the street

I did a furniture design,

it looks really Devinne,

I'm working on it with paper Masha,

it could be worth a lot of cash ahh.

We have been identifying needs for our street. The problem of the street is the furniture. There is a little amount of it for the street so we made some designs to put in the street. We searched up furniture designs on the web and it showed alot of good ideas.

I choose the idea of making a chair made out of toilet rolls. The creating seemed really easy but when i was up to the making part it started to get harder and harder. One of the hardest parts is doing the masking taping cause some of the rolls were falling off. I’m up to painting now but when i’m finished I will be able to take a picture of it to share with you.

Potatoe chips

George Crum invented Potato Chips in 1853. It was an accidental invention because his customer was waiting for French fries and Crum made them too thick. So he made nice thin crispy chips, and that's how he came up with the brilliant idea of making Potato Chips.

Crum was born in 1822, he was the son of a mulatto jockey and an Indian maid. His invention was made when he was 31. His death in 1914 was a tragic event for all his family and his chip making ended.

Crum opened his own restaurant, featuring Potato Chips in a basket placed on every table. When time past chips went world wide selling in dairy's and in grocery store. Potato Chips now have awesome flavours like chicken, sour cream, BBQ, ready salted and much much more flavours.

George Crum’s Potato Chip created an easy to eat snack food that is enjoyed by many people. His accidental invention changed what people eat.

Martin’s Jet pack
A kiwi engineer Glen Martin has created an awesome jet pack that can go 5000ft above sea level or even higher. It could even go higher then the Canterbury planes.

The news appeared first on TV 1 on Sunday.

U.S media thought it was a joke. Martin wasn’t happy, so he talked about what the jet pack can do Like it can go were helicopters can’t go.Like throw trees and it is good for rescuing people.

When the invention was made he tested for its safety. so he tested it with a dummy, as he had a remote control to fly it with. When the jet pack was successful he took it for a test flight and went a massive 1500m high.

Flags

Flags have been modified time and time again. They were first Flags have been modified time and time again. They were first made by the Chinese but these early flags did not look like today’s flags.Flags can be found on a house or a school or even a car.
Thousands of years ago people used to use flags for there wars.

Flags were first made out of wood then when time past they were made by metal. Now a flag is a piece of fabric.

The Amazing Part one Of Camp Take Charge

Wow, another camp. This year it’s going to be called TC or Take Charge camp. I was ready and focused for the 3 days of joy. The group that I was in was the RESPECTABLEZ!!!!! Our team leaders were Feki and Shontal. This year was going to be great. It was my first time being a year seven and going to camp as a year seven. This was going to be exciting.

The first camp meeting was on Wednesday, in the afternoon. That was how I was chosen to be in the RESPECTABLEZ. We had to make chant for our group. It sounded cool. After that we played game which you can’t touch the ground and you have to make it the end of the hall. I was so squashed,I almost fell off my chair, but then when we almost finished Mr Barks said stop.

I think that the Respectablez are going to be good. RESPECTABLEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Part one of camp
In the morning as I woke up at exactly 7:00 am ready for a wonderful day I was packed and loaded. Once I had my breakfast and brushed my teeth I had walked out the door saying bye bye.
Once I had arrived at school I had been located to the hall to put down my bag.

After the discussion I had seen my mum with a bag bag of lunch. I looked into my bag, damn! I had left my lunch at home. Thankfully my mum had brought it. I wouldn’t know what to do if I had no lunch.

Wow! we had started moving to our activities . The first destination that we had gone to was Kayaking, it was really fun. The first thing I had to do was go on Mr Molleys boat. It was going so fast I nearly fell off. After the boat I went on the Kayak, it was a one seater. I had a race with Joe but he won and I got beaten because I was tired.
I had gone for a swim, it was freezing cold in the water. Joe and I tried to tip peoples kayaks over. I got Joe off the kayak and I was laughing. When I jumped on one he tipped me over and he started laughing.

This is a cool picture of me using gimp. I took a picture of myself then put on gimp to fix it up. it looked cool.And it was fun doing it.

Zombie

Every morning I wake up looking like a zombie. I am always so tired because my mum and my sister can’t stop talking at night. All they talk about is her friends and school. I always tell her to talk in the afternoon but she doesn’t listen.

I try to tell them to shut up but they say wait. So I wait and wait it was like an hour and I was still awake and they were still talking.

I didn’t know how to tell them to be quiet.

tech at tamaki

A recount.

Tamaki reflection

ran to the front.

At Tamaki the area of learning i am doing this term is scince
it was very tiring but it was worth it to go there. one of the
the things that was cool about it was getting find out alot
of staff about living things.

that we did was real, good stuff to learn

It was a Sunday morning, as I woke up to see my to twin cousins standing in front my bed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!. “ far out they had too shot it out loud” i thought to myself.
