Earth Paint

Me and my reading group read a book called Earth Paint.  Earth Paints are paints made out of crushed clay or soil and mixed with water. In the story the children found different coloured soil in the vegetable garden, compost, near a swamp, beside a stream, under the bark on the playground, clay off a bank, building site and from the river.

Aborigines used to use Earth Paints to paint pictures on cave walls or bark. They used twigs, bamboo sticks and sometimes their fingers to paint. So that the paint stuck they mixed emu and fish oil or beeswax with the paint.

Here is my earth paint painting.

Camp Benzen

On Tuesday  we went to kawau island  for year 6 camp. We had to wake up by 7 Oclock

before the bus goes. We had to go on a bus to the fairy to go to camp benzen. We saw

dolfen when we were on the fairy.

We were so excited to go to kawau island. When we made it we took all the bags food and left it on the deck. After that we grab our day bag  and our water bottles and walk up the hills. We had to stop for our lunch and colin had to say a speech.

went back to the camp and we set up our cabins I had to sleep with Oloti, Damien, Tihi and livai.  

How to be a Pt Englander

How to be a Pt Englander

I can be a good Pt Englander by being polite, wearing it with pride and being cybersmart. To be a Pt Englander you have to do the right thing

and finish it off Properly. We do this so that we get a good job.

To be polite you have to be kind to others and listen and obey to the teacher. In assembly Mr Burt told us three things. We need to say please when we are asking someone for something, thank you when someone is giving you something and excuse me when we walk past someone.

Wearing it with pride means that you need to wear the right uniform at school. This means you are not allowed to wear mufti under your uniform at school. When I come to school I never wear my seat shech on my waist.

I am cybersmart by going on learning links but not downloading… songs on my netbook. At Pt England our teachers help us to leave a smart footprint by having dashboard. They help us by going on the right thing.

You should be a Pt Englander by being polite, wearing it with pride and being cybersmart. You should come to Pt England school.

My Holiday

On the Holidays I slept over at my cousin houses. Their names are Kaleb, Dallin and Brigim.

We were waiting to go to the movies at the Hoyts cinema in Sylvia Park, the movie was starting at 6:40. When we were waiting we played  Call of Duty, Black Ops. Black Ops is a game where you kill zombies.

Yes!!! It was time to go to the movies, we got ready and hopped in the car. Finally we made it to the movies. We went to Pak n Save to buy some goodies. We each had $20 to spend. I brought some lollies, chips and a drink.  We were really excited about going to the movies. We sat in our seats ready to watch The Ninja Turtles.

What a good movie everyone should go and see it. The theatre was so full.

and Australia. There are 7 lands on earth.

One continent is Australia. It is the smallest continent. New Zealand is not part of Australia the continent it is part of one called Zealandia. It is a mix between New Zealand and Australia.

Cross Country

This is my writing about our school Cross Country that we had last week. Here is my recount story and my Rubric to show how well I did.

On September the 11th we had cross country. We had to wear our house colors. I was in Tainui that means we wear blue. We have to run in our year groups, I am in year 6.

There were some kids in cross country that didn't run.

The year 1 and 2 boys had to run first. They only had a small run because

they were small. First they lined up and then Mr Burt said get set and he slammed the blocks

together and the boys ran as fast as they could go.

Then it was the time for the year 1 and 2 girls to run. Mrs Jarmen came to get the

girls and they lined up. Mr Burt said get set and he slammed the blocks together

again the girls ran as fast as they could. The year 1 and 2 boys were still running, the first boy that came

to the finish line was Ozzy.

We were waiting for our run. We were after the year 7 boys. I was very shy

to go running.  When it was our turn to run I was scared. Mr Burt said

get set and slammed the blocks together for our race to start. I ran as fast as I could go, I was huffing

and puffing all the way to the finish line. When we had finished we went to get some water.

Tapa Cloth

I have been reading Sunday Market it is about a boy who helps his Aunty.  They make tapa cloth. Here is a tapa cloth I made. I drew this design because I am Samoan.

Use my brain, use my heart I'm going to be Cybersmart

Use my brain, use my heart, I’m going to be cybersmart came from Mr Burts korero. He told us to use our netbook wisely. Use my brain, use my heart I’m going to be cybersmart help us to learn with our net book.

Use my brain means that you use your netbook wisely. If you are on the wrong thing on your netbook and your brain says stop going on the wrong thing you should listen. Do what your brain says.

Use my heart means that you feel bad when on wrong things on your netbook. You might feel bad like you are going to lose your netbook. Listen to that feeling and do the right thing.

Being cybersmart helps you for learn on your netbook and to do the right things.
