Doggos

Fluffy, exuberant

Jumping, slobbering, hopping

All of my shoes eaten

Fascinating

Boring haikus

Haikus are boring 

What is the point of haikus

Haikus are the worst

Sun poem

the sun is a fireball
burning up the sky
it is a source of warmth
for all its children

the sun is a can of pepper spray
scalding our eyes
it is a marble in space rolling around in the deep darkness

the sun is fake
the us government is trolling us
or the sun is on annual leave for winter
it was freezing last night

Cow cake, gross recipe

Cow Cake
Ingredients
1 kg of potatoes
1 Leather guitar case
1 kg of grass
500g grains

1 Boil the water in a pot on the stove.

2. Add potatoes and cook until soft not squishy. Take out potatoes and mash.

3. When mashed, take out and smear potatoes over the inside, bottom and sides of the guitar case.

4. When you have smeared the potatoes, pour the grass into the case. If you have any more mash smear it onto the grass.

5. Add the grains to the guitar case. Close the lid and you now have a cake for a cow. 

Fun fact: Leather is made of cow skin!

Arctic Ocean

We have been learning about oceans. I made this poster about the Arctic Ocean. On the poster we had to have how big it is, the deepest point and some animals that live in it. This is my final product.

Maori art

This my Maori art I did. It was in the style of Peter Gossage, To colour the picture I used pastel and a bit of felt and dye. 

This is the picture I tried to copy

Why can you never trust an artist?

Because they are a bit sketchy, a little shady and will always try to frame you.

Ice expremint

Today we did a science experiment with ice. What happened was we got some balls of ice and Mrs Drummond poured some food colouring onto the ice. Then the food colouring speed into the cracks in the ice and made vein looking things. Then we poured some salt on the ice and it became textured. Then we wrote down some things we notice and some questions we have. We then went out to crack them.

I had the best ice pun to tell you - problem is, it slipped my mind.

Last week we took care of egg babies for keeping ourselves and others safe. It was quite hard and my egg didn't make it and to that I say “I'm scared for the next generation of parents”. Now for the story of my egg’s life.

Day 1. Went to OSCA and then I made him a home 

Day 2. Blood pain and death at daycare and at OSCA. at OSCA my baby was almost leaking, all that was stopping is was a thin membrane then as I was hanging up my bag… my bag fell off the hook and it was done! All that was left of my baby was the shell and my yolk soaked bag. 

Egg sitting was fun.

Cyber Safety poster

This is the cyber safety poster I did to show how we keep our selves cyber safe. I chose "think before you post" as my main inspiration and this is what It came out like.

Book Week

Today was the end of Book Week. We did a lot of stuff today, like the book parade where you had to dress up as a book character. I went as The boy in the dress by David Walliams

Today we also did a treasure hunt sort of thing where had to go around the school answering questions about books in a group of 4. In my group there was Rosa L, my sister and one other kid whose name I forgot. It was a very fun day.

50 Word Story

The Drop

10,000+ feet in the air and my first time skydiving. I was 25 years old and a pro stunt double. Now it was time to jump out the plane. When I was about 100 feet away. I pulled on my string but nothing happened...
I awoke screaming.

That was my 50 word story that I wrote for a comp in book week.

The challenge was to wright a story with a twist as a ending in only 50 words (title included), so that's it.

cross country

Yesterday we did cross country. It was about 2.3 km of non stop running and panting. If there was anything I could change about It would be to make the teachers run as well, then they would know what it feels like to run over 2 ks. It was a tiring day.


BTW: Is your refrigerator running?......... Well then you better go catch it!

growth mindset brain

This is the growth mindset brain we did to represent why growth mindset is important. So we each got a little bit of paper to decorate and write something in. The one I did is at the very top right. It was averagely fun.

Kids Lit Quiz

Yeterday me and some other kids from my school went to the Kids Lit Quiz 2019.

The Kids' Lit Quiz is an annual literature competition, in which teams of four students, aged 10 to 13, work together to answer wide-ranging literacy questions.

Out team did not win but we didn't come last ether, my team came… second to last. But yayyyyy, It was fun! 

A book fell on my head the other day . . . I can only blame my shelf!

Anzac uniform

This is the pamphlet liam and I did about the WW1 army uniform. It was out of the same box were we got the empire badge (previous slide) from. This is what we found out.

ANZAC Slideshow

 This is the Anzac slide Liam T and I did for writing.    It is filled with facts about WW1 and the Mothers of Empire badge.    We chose to do a slide because we think slides give more detail about the  topic.    

So enjoy :) 

Blue

I love the colour blue

With nice metallic goo

A shade of sky

Will make me fly

Blue Cows say moo

Ocelot poster

This is the animal poster I did. It is about a ocelot not a leopard in case you were wondering. One of the fun facts is that they are not afraid of water and are very good swimmers. I chose the ocelot because they are cute and my favorite part was looking through all the cute baby photos to find the cutest photo for my poster and I chose the one above.

poem 2

Bump / stripy

Smooth light and nimble

The replica of Noah's ark

Imagine horses eating hay

The perfect ship.


The item is… a ship in a bottle

poem

One day

Above the waves it’s

Floating calmly on the ocean.

Above, shining the deck

Smelling the sea

The item is… a ship in a bottle

Shrove Tuesday

Today all around the world people are making pancakes for Shrove Tuesday.

Shrove Tuesday is a time that in Jesus time they made pancakes to get rid of all the flour, eggs, milk and sugar etc.

So now we Christians make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.

It was a delicious day 

My other mantra

We are doing mantras for topic.

Mantras are positive messages to make people feel good about themselves and to strive for greatness.

This is my mantra.

Nothing is

Impossible  

if the word  itself  

says

I’m possible

I chose this because it made me feel good for myself. 

Matthews Mantra

Life is like you’re on

A  trampoline

You should

Bounce back

every time

first week back to school

This is the first week back to school "yay" (sarcastic). So this week we have done some new year’s stuff.We did some other activities like introducing ourselves to our teacher, our RE title page and a puzzle piece with our name on them.

So far this has been a great year.

Year 6 Camp

2019 Year 6 camp at MERC

This year all of the year 6’s (that includes me) went to camp at MERC Long Bay. I had the time of my life. My favourite activities were archery, mountain biking, giant paddle boarding and abseiling.



Camp was very fun. The best time I have had all year besides the beds. The beds were terrible.
