SHOW DAY 2010

On a hot Saturday the 16 of October we had our school show day.
Most of our class room had a stall to run to raise money for year 6 camp. At our stall we were selling jelly, popcorn, rice bubble crackle, lollies and lucky dips. We sold everything because Annalise and I walked around selling the rest of our popcorn and rice bubble crackle. Our stall made $119.20 wow.
All the classes had a exhibit. In our exhibit we had to make a vege creation, a unusual container, a miniature garden and a puppet at school. For my miniature garden I got 1st and my vege creation I got 2nd and also my unusual container got 3rd. When we got home the dog trashed my garden and my mini tree house is now dead.
It was a great day but lots of people got sunburnt and we did not go to bed until 12.00 but it was still fun.

On Saturday the 16th of October Kaipara Flats School had their annual Show Day!
In the morning I got up early and gave my beautiful calf (William) a wash. I gave him a brush and cleaned his hooves. We put him and Monty's lamb on the trailer and went down to the school. Around 10.30 lots of people were starting to come. I got my stall ready . Our stall was one of the popular stalls. We made $119.20. My dad and his friend (Rat) were on the quick fire raffles.
When it was my break from my stall, I played Squash the Square and the Winning wheel. I won a mini chocolate bar, yellow toy capsicum, velvet pencil and a shiny pencil. Also I bought 2 bags of candy floss, 2 bags of popcorn, 1 bag of sherbet, grape drink and a bag of lollies.
Near the end of the day Mr Lockie announced the winners for the calves and the lambs. I was very proud of William and myself because I won a yellow ribbon for rearing and a blue ribbon for grooming.
It was a great day and its my favourite event of the year. I felt sun burnt and tired but that was okay.

Soccer Game

On Wednesday 2 June Room 4 was in a game of soccer at Shoe Smith Domain.

When we got there I was really really lucky because I didn't have to play for the first half THEN I HAD TO BE THE GOALIE WHICH MADE ME MAD.

I improved a lot near the end of the day and it was quite fun and extraordinarily exciting.

The Spooky Sound Stone House

Carefully I sneaked closer and closer towards the lonely building. Through the scary overgrowing garden, rose vines like triffids, armed with sharp, spiked thorns tangled round my ankles as if trying to trip me over. Rising out of the mist, the empty, gray stone house stood silent, its boarded up windows tattered, graying lace curtains and neglected lawns witness to its desertion. As the very dark night approached the only sound was the restless lapping of the dark water against the slate canal walls,and strange, hollow tapping sound from the rear of the horror building. What could be making that sound? When I walked toward the back room, I heard a spooky sound. I felt nervous because I thought that might be a ghost. As I keep walking toward the back room where the spooky sound came from, there are two things in my mind that time,and it was, could be a ghost or someone making silly noise like a ghost. As I'd opened the door, it was smells horrible! When I walked in, there was a strong wind came from the broken window and I heard the door slammed! like if it going to break into little pieces.

A Day I'll Never Forget

A Day I'll Never Forget

Carefully I crept closer and nearer towards the building through the wildly overgrown garden, rose vines like triffids armed with pointy, spiked thorns, tangled round my ankles as if they were trying to trip me over. Rising out of the fog, the lonely, stone house stood silent, its boarded up windows, ripped, greying, lace curtains and neglected lawns witness to its desertion. As dusk approached the only sound was the restless lapping of the water against the slate canal walls, and a unusual tapping sound from inside the house.
As I approached the house the tapping sound stops and turns into a loud crash as if glass was been broken. I ran to the house and looked inside, a flying piece of wood flyies out of the window nearly hitting me. I decide to climb in and check it out. The house was full with old paintings, books and lots of junk. Cobwebs tell that know body has been here for a long time. As I make my way up the stairs I notice a big pool of blood on the dinner table. I raced down the stairs and stared at the blood, then a drop of blood fell from the roof. I look up and see a human body tided to the chandelier. On the floor I see a green alien thingy, and then it slowly walked up the stairs. I stood still not moving at all. My brain is still trying to catch up with my eyes. After about hour I get my head straight and I decide to go home and pretend none of this happened.

On Thursday 3rd of June Kaipara Flats School room 4 played soccer at Shoe smith Domain. I was in the social team. My favourite game was when we tied with Ahuroa. I played goalie but it was boring because the defence was really good and the ball never got close to the goal. The funniest thing about the day was that I slipped over heaps and I never got muddy. I really liked the day because everyone played their best.

SOCCER TOURNAMENT

Yesterday room 4 went to the Shoes Smith domain soccer club tournament.
my best game was the 3rd game when I had the ball I kicked the ball and
it went through the other teams goalkeepers legs but just missed the goal just
a little bit. At half time I swapped goalkeeper with Jamie. I let one in and
stopped the rest. It was an awesome day I was tired. At the end we had a team photo.
