Weekend Journal

On the weekend I spent nearly all my time  making Christmas Cards for the class.  It took ages just to complete one, so I came up with a brilliant idea a trace the rest with the ones that I did.  I couldn't see anything, so I got the light of my phone so I could see and I did that to rest of the cards.  I didn't get to colour them because it was getting late.  On Saturday my niece and nephew came over for a while.  It was  nice to see them again because I haven't seen them in a really long time.

Saturday was my Dad's Birthday!  So I went ahead and baked a cake.  I didn't know what to bake so I searched up simple cakes, because I was only a beginner baker.  In the end I chose to bake vanilla cupcakes, vanilla cupcakes are simple but delicious.  After mixing all the ingredients for the vanilla cupcakes I decided to not do cupcakes and bake a cake.  My cake turned out okay but when I trimmed it to make it perfect it got smaller.  I made the icing while the cake was cooling down.  I didn't want to put on just icing on the cake because it was my dad's birthday and I wanted to make it special.  So I put on a lot of different coloured sprinkles.  It turned out to be an awesome as cake, everyone seemed to enjoy it.  

On Sunday I tried to do a front flip because I didn't attempt doing one at Bridge Valley because I wasn't in the mood.  It took me three attempts until I actually flipped! Even though I didn't land the flip I'm still proud of myself.  Next steps is to land it and maybe do it on the ground, (probably not)

My Weekend Journal

On my weekend I spent most of it outside, I didn't really do much because everyone was busy doing something.  On Saturday I decided to try out some new Gymnastic Moves,  I tried a Scorpion and many others but I forgot.  That night we watched Narnia The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.  A book series that I've been reading, I'm on the 3rd book. 

On Sunday morning I woke up early but then went back to sleep and got out of bed late.  I started my day with a delicious breakfast, then went outside and played on the tramp.  In the Afternoon I started to work on my Scorpion (Gymnastics) I started tying to do it on the ground then worked my way up onto the wall, then eventually I tried without the wall and it worked! and that was without stretching!  I took some photos of progression and showed my friends, they were supersized. I'm very proud of myself, that I achieved my goal.  My next goal is to do a Needle which is practically a Scorpion but with a straight leg.

Overall even though my weekend was very short it still had a heap of stuff going on.

Athletics

On Monday 6th of November my class went to Athletics.  There were six events, which were: Long jump, high jump, Discus, shot put, Sprints and the 400 meter run.

My favourite two would have to be discus and sprints, because I think I tried my hardest in those two and for me they were the ones that were the funnest.  

The cons of my day at Athletics is that I didn't jump that high in High Jump because for some reason I was kind of scared of the bar.  

Overall I think that Athletics went well because everyone had fun and everyone cheered for each other.

It's cruel to keep animals in zoos, speech

During term three we have been focusing on persuasive writing.  We all had to choose a topic to write on for our upcoming speech.  For my speech I decided to choose a topic on zoos, which was It's cruel to keep animals in zoos.  When I first started to work on my speech I had trouble coming up with some ideas,  but I eventually got some help from the teacher which really helped a lot and I also checked some websites about cruel zoo facts and put it into my own words.  I got a lot of good feedback from my classmates and they said that I used a lot of repetition in my speech which made the message go through to people, well done and I definitely made an impact on the audience, but there's always room for improvement.  Next time I should have a clearer voice so that people can hear me better and use some more complex words to make my speech more interesting.  Overall I'm happy with my results and I hope that I'll do more better speeches in the future.

On the weekend I planned my birthday party, There's going to be heaps of games and heaps of food of course. What Birthday Party doesn't have food?

On Friday night I edited mine and Bridget's forces video because we are sharing on Monday.  I also added a P.M.I to it to make the slide more interesting.

On Saturday I played on the trampoline with my brother because I was bored then that night I watched Kung Fu Panda with my family.  

On Sunday I got up early so that I could make some porridge, toast and a cuppa tea for my dad. 

After I made all that food I gave it to Dad so that he could eat it. I  also got the card that I made for him and the chocolates I hid from my siblings, because they love chocolate so much.  Jo

On Friday my mum's cousin came over for the night. We set up the beds in the living room so that we could all sleep in the same room. I got to hold a sheep's kidneys, which was a first for me.

On Saturday I cleaned out the spear room in just one day, and there was so much in their. I moved everything all by myself, after I cleaned it out I asked mum if she could vacuum the spear room so I could have a break. Then Mum and I moved my bed into the spear room, it was surprisingly really light. After I moved my stuff in it and my bookshelf. That night we watched Mulan because that was the only movie on. After Mulan there was The Simpsons.

On Sunday Night I talked to Breagh about Netball and stuff.

I think highlight of my weekend would have to be my new room.

Weekend Journal

On the weekend I didn't really do anything exciting because everyone was busy in a way. Dad was always on the farm, Mum was cleaning the house and I was planning my birthday party even though it is two weeks and a bit away. I'm planning a simple party, there's going to be games with awesome prizes, a pinata that I made, goody bags with lots of treats and food of course.

On Saturday my little brother and I picked some flowers for our Mum because the flowers looked beautiful and so did the blossom flowers. On Saturday night we made some popcorn and watched some movies.

On Sunday we played outside, around five P.M I decided to try and make some paint out of dye, shaving foam and water but it didn't really work out that much but it did make a nice faded pink. Before I put on the "paint" I put on some tape and made an M. I think overall it turned out pretty good.

On the weekend I didn't get to do much because I had the tummy bug. 

On Friday we all went to town except for Brianna because she wasn't sick and she had to go to school. I think going to town was a bit boring but at least I got food🍦

On Saturday I looked after my siblings and we played some games. It was like a jungle in our house filled with little monkeys jumping around so we watched Madagascar 3 so that my little siblings would be quiet and it worked.

On Sunday me and Brianna cleaned up our room because we wanted to be organised. We had ice cream because we felt like it even though it wasn't hot.

I think overall my weekend was boring, but still fun.

🏑 Hockey Tournament 🏑

Wednesday 1st of August Ruma J went to the Greymouth Westurf Hockey Stadium. We went there so that we could play hockey, we entered two teams and I was in the Lake Brunner Red Team. 

The highlights were we all had fun and it was a new experience for some of us. That's a good thing because it 's fun trying new things.

The low lights are the wind got in the way and it was freezing cold because we had to take our jackets off and people got injured.

Even though my team didn't make it to the finals I still think we did a brilliant job in defending, attacking and scoring goals.

My Weekend Journal

On Saturday I was searching for a new ukulele because I got an inspiration from a AGT winner who played her ukulele, her name is Grace Vanderwaal. While I looked for a ukulele I listened to some of her songs. I went outside and climbed some trees and went on the trampoline.

On Sunday my two year old nephew and my three months old niece came to visit us because we haven't seen them for ages. I taught my nephew how to say his name and potato, he is learning how to count up to ten and say some Filipino words.

I got to hold my baby niece, but then she started crying because she was hungry, when she finished her drink my Mum got to hold her, I tried to make her smile and she did. She was talking to me in her baby talk which was so cute.

Overall I think my weekend was pretty fun and exiting. 😎 

Jurassic World Writing Creation MD & LF

Jurassic World, directed by Colin Trevorrow, is about two brothers Zach and Gray who gets sent to an amusement park for an adventure, instead of a park with rollercoasters and games where you win fun things it has dinosaurs in the zoo like environments for visitors to seek and learn about, the workers put the dinosaurs in their environments so they couldn’t attack the visitors. While the two brothers are at Jurassic World they stay with their aunt Claire for a while. Zach and Gray think they will have a fun time getting to see all the amazing dinosaurs but they don’t know what’s ahead of them.

Jurassic World is both an exciting, adventurous action movie

I like how it’s action packed and thrilling. Every minute is very interesting because there’s heaps of characters that keeps taking risks and you keep wondering in your head are they going to die or survive? The movie really keeps you at the edge of your seat, the  scenery is spectacular and amazing but at the same time weird because there’s blood up on the trees and leaves from the dinosaur’s teeth. In the scene where they go to find the dinosaur, but it makes the scene interesting because if there was no blood up on the trees it would've been boring.

My favourite part is when the dinosaur chases the two brothers into the waterfall. This is my favourite part because when they’re jumping into the waterfall it looks really cool, it makes me want to jump into a waterfall myself. It looks fun when they jump but when the dinosaur comes fun turns to scary because the dinosaur is roaring and looks angry.

I don’t think there’s anything I don’t like about the movie because I practically like everything about it. I like everything because I like action packed movies, dinosaurs and beautiful sceneries.         

I definitely recommend this movie to people who likes action packed movies.

On Sunday we went out on the farm and did some sheep work, as usual. I got to ride the bike for a treat and we also got some pine cones for the fire because the house was getting cold.
We couldn't find Maggie ( one of our dogs ) for ages so we decided to go to the shed and guess what she was just lying there on the stones, don't worry she wasn't dead or anything, I think she was just puffed.

Overall I think my weekend was boring and short for me.

Short Weekend Journal

My weekend was a bit boring so I'll only tell you the things that was fun.
On Friday or Saturday I emailed Chelsea and she emailed me back!, I would of just did it the easy way and snapchat her but I couldn't find my phone charger. I asked her questions such as does anyone play basketball and she said yes and they also have a basketball team, hockey team and touch team.
On Saturday night we watched two movies Planes and the Bee movie.
On Sunday night we watched a movie one was Avatar.
On Sunday my mum saw this thing on something and she tried to bake it, it looked delicious but the name didn't sound delicious, I asked her what the name was and she said Crinkles Cookie!
I thought why that name and then I soon realised that it was a Filipino desert or something. You see Filipino desert names are quiet weird.

Exciting Weekend Journal

On Saturday we didn't really do much but at night time we watched the movie A bug's life because the little kids wanted to.

Sunday was a big day for me, my little brothers Bryce and Bruce because we were going to go across a river in the truck but don't worry the river was filled with shingle some how so that made it easy for us to cross the river because it was really shallow. I had a heart attack throughout the crossing because I thought we were going to drown in vein, but we didn't, phew. While we were up there we decided to look for some fish because one day there was heaps of fish in the crooked river but after a couple of days the fish started to fade away and my Dad thought they went up the clearing where we were and guess what there was heaps in the creeks. We were so amazed by the fish so we decided to take a photo and I decided to try catch one but that didn't work out because I got all wet.

Overall I think my weekend was pretty funky and busy.

Stephen Michael King Art Response

Stephen Michael King Response

The artwork by Stephen Michael King drawn in 1998 with no name is messy, creative and imaginative. I can clearly see that it’s a child’s treehouse because of the tree and the ladder leading up to the adventurous, playful treehouse. The birds flying and chirping around seems joyful as the children sitting down and enjoying their day.

Although the artwork is busy and imaginative it's also dull and colourless.

I like how it’s different from the rest because it has lots of unique shapes and scribbles, That’s what makes the drawing interesting. I’ve never seen anything like it before because the drawings and paintings I’ve seen are neat but, I think the artist wanted to go with a not so neat drawing that stands out from the rest and makes people thinking why he drew his drawing that way.

I don’t like how it’s only got 2 colours because it doesn’t pop out from a far distance or even up close. I think the drawing’s meant to be happy but I don’t see any colours that represent happiness which is kind of confusing because the children look joyous and gleeful.

I don’t like how it’s dull and seems boring. I think if some people went to an art gallery and the drawing was next to a colourful piece of artwork they’d choose to take a photo and learn more about the colourful artwork because 2 coloured drawings aren’t that interesting, but I can’t blame the artist for not adding bright colours because it’s his artwork.

I definitely recommend you to go check out his books because they have very interesting pieces of art in every entertaining page.

On Saturday night we watched a movie called Rio 2 and I also practised some magic but I kind of gave up on that.

On Sunday we all went to town to get some food. While Mum and Brianna got some stuff Dad, my brothers and I went out to buy her a present for her birthday this Thursday. While we were in the shop I acted like a character from a youtuber called Liza. I acted like Helga just for fun to see if any would get freaked out and guess what someone did get freaked out and stared at me weirdly so I just ran away. We went to one of our friends house for a while and then we went home I feel asleep listening to Ed Sheeran, he's a really good singer.

On Monday we didn't really do much other than eat run and other stuff. In the afternoon the sky had the most beautiful sunset mixed with pink, purple and blue.

My Book Review Feat Mary Duran and Hhank

Short weekend journal and cross country reflection

On the Sunday I got a piano from one of our friends. Ever since then I learnt how to play a thousand years step by step. I want to learn all of the song so I can show my family.

On Monday it was X country day, I was so excited. It wasn't like me being excited I usually hated X country but this year I actually wanted to do it. The year 4 - 8 students went but not the year 3s because they are too young. At first a lady came and told us where we were meant to go around the track. The year 6 boys were going first so the year 5 and 4s could see what they have to do because they haven't done it before. We all went on the fence to cheer on Zak and Jakob. After the year 6 boys went the year 6 girls were going. Bridget, Rhiannon and I were representing LBS. Everyone cheered us on which made me go faster, I outran one girl in the muddy bit but she took me over on the next lap.
I saved my sprint for the end. I think I did a really good job because I got 10th place last year and this year I got 6th place.

Book Review Skit Feat. Tess and Prakriti

In our class we have been doing some narrative writing but we've finished doing that so we moved onto responses. We had to choose a book one of our classmates wrote and write a response for it, after writing the response we had to come up with something for our creation. For my book response creation I decided to team up with Tess and Prakriti to create the awesomest skit. The highlights are working with my buddies and creating our own script.

I don't think there was a low light because we worked as a team really well.

On Friday I went over to Lucy's house, where I got to see Billy! Me and Lucy hang out around the lounge area because Billy was there we also got Lucy's giant panda aka Courtney and put her on the mattress so we could sit on her just like a beanbag. Lisa asked us to look after Billy while she sleeps. Billy was calm  but after a wee while he cried like a lot so we decided to take turns of looking after Billy but he cried and cried so after a lot of turns we decided to give up and so we gave him back to Lisa. While we were watching some t.v I had a brilliant idea for Sunday. Sunday was the day the Taylors were having their leaving party. I said to Lucy that we should sing a song to Chelsea because we were listening to music. We chose a special song which related a lot. The song we chose was count on me by Bruno Mars.

On Saturday me and Lucy went over to the party an hour earlier and we left an hour early. There was like a lot of good food such as pizza, teddy bears, chips, mini pies and more. After the food we played some games. Then the special time was about to happen, we sang the song to Chelsea and she got all teary eyed. When Lisa came we had to say our goodbyes to Chelsea, Ashlee and Jessica. Lucy wanted to stay over at my house so Lisa said yes and we did a lot of stuff. Like watch Suicide Squad on Sunday because I haven't watched it. We also played hide and seek tag in the dark and I also scared Lucy a lot which was fun.

Science Road Show Reflection

Tuesday 13th our class went to a science road show. The science show was at Grey High in their hall.

We learnt about pond water, we all learnt that pond water has water fleas inside every single drop. 

One of the scientist made a chemical reaction called elephant toothpaste. At first it was only a little bit of it but after a couple seconds it grew more and more and then it stopped growing.

I liked it when I went up on the stage and used the metal detector. 

I wished that there was more time to explore. 

But overall I thought that it was very generous of the teachers and parents to prepare all of this for our class and help with transport.
