School Camp Experience
On Tuesday and Wednesday my school had a camp experience, because we missed camp when Covid 19 hit.
on Tuesday year 6's went to inflatable world and bowling, we had to catch a bus ride there (I'm scared of buses so it wasn't fun.) We arrived at inflatable world and me Logan and Jack went strait on this little wheel that you had to jump on. Next I went in line to do this thing were you smack people with a inflated stick. I also went on this obstacle coarse a lot because that was really fun. Next we ate some food and went to zone bowling, it was really fun but I came second to last twice. We only got two rounds and those rounds were very fun.
The next day we went to flip out we all got to play on the trampolines and we got do laser strike too. I was the 3rd group to do laser strike but before that I went on basically every trampoline before I went to laser strike. at laser strike I didn't do very well but in the team match my team won yay! After laser strike I learnt how to do a cart wheel into a front flip.

The Carnival Description
As I enter, the carnival I see many glimmering lights flashing down on me, toothless carnies playing on some of the games with the glowing lights shining with the purple sky with the hot pink smoke. As I enter, I rush over to the giant ferris wheel which is lopping round and round. I see the excitement on peoples faces as they play on the rides. I hop one the ferris and as I reach the top I look over the carnival bliding rainbow lights and charting people is what I can see.
I hop on the ferris wheel to go get some food. I smell the buttery popcorn popping away. The smell of freshly cooked hotdogs getting put into buttery buns all over the carnival you can smell an array of delicious unique food. You can smell some burning lights because the lights have been on for hours, the oven smells of all sorts of foods.
You can hear the pumping carnival music from miles away, You can hear blood curling terrified screams with a mix of joyful screams you can hear the sizzling food coming from the oven. In the background you can hear ambient chatter, with the parents of most of the kids saying stay close.
I can taste lots of Delicious foods like the swell of candy floss swirling around my mouth or the buttery salty popcorn. But let’s go in order, first I had a yummy burger with lettuce, beetroot and other good stuff. Next I had fries they were salty and nothing else (im fussy). For desert I had a double scoop of caramel ice cream, that buttery salty popcorn and the candy floss, to finish off what I ate.
As I sit down in the roler coster seat, I feel the cold metal bar come down on me to keep me safe. The seats of the roller coaster aren’t comfortable like the seats on the ferris wheel, the pillows as soft as candy floss. You are aloud to touch the sheep and horse’s, there fur feels fluffy like a afro.
As I leave the fair ground my face goes from happy to disappointed I loved the fair ground, (even know i’ve never been to one in real life). I even didn’t get to go on like 2 of the rides.

Me and some of my team played in a real cool hedge witch was good for climbing in we came back to where my team was and we sat and talked about when prize giving was happening. Most of my team was going to play in a big bush, then a disaster happened! i wasn't looking where I was going and walked into barb wire my knee was bleeding and i had to get a plaster. When prize giving started, we had to wait for ages for the other grades to have there turn. but when it was our turn, i got player of the year and i was super excited. i got my photo taken. When the prize giving ended i rushed home to escape the traffic. the end!

Bacteria Poem
Bacteria
Microscopic organisms
are not all bad
Some are good but if you had
a bacterial disease such as cholera,
meningitis, Lyme disease,
diphtheria
you will be sad
But good bacteria is extra rad
Once you get rid of the bad
Pathogens which causes lots
Of bacterial diseases
You won't be so sad
for inquiry this term, me and Liam have been making a bacteria poem. We started of with a decent base and Urmi helped put in more words.

My poem: Snippy
My poem: Snippy
Snippy is an orange crab that is really small compared to other crabs
Snippy's deep black eyes stand up on eye stalks
Snippy's breath smells like dead bugs since it's his favourite food
Snippy speaks his language with a high pitch voice
He cutters along faster than all the other crabs
Snippy crays a little shell on his back it's his home
When snippy pinches you, it won't hurt because he's so small

My poem: Brax
My poem: Brax
Brax is a strong teenager
Whose eyes were as blue as a ocean
He has mint breathe with a hint of strawberry
Brax is strong but super slow
You will probably beat him in a race
When Brax hits you
You will be in hospital really quickly
Brax is holding a baseball bat
It's his favourite sport
Brax has a voice deeper than the sea
Don't mess with Brax!

In the depths of the sea you can see hundreds of fish, Sharks, Octopus and many more sea creatures. Brightly coloured coral surrounds a treasure chest. behind the coral and sea life, theirs a sunken ship. The ships name is "The Flying Dutch man." Its a ship that is said to be haunted! Many people say they have seen this ghost ship, there is even a camp fire story about it. The sea is quite dark the sun light brightening it up. Would you go and explore the sunken ship?

Maori colonisation Learning :)
We have been learning about how Maori were treated when NZ was first colonised.
Maori was NZ's most spoken language in the 19th century. Then the British came. At first 125,000 Maori could speak Te reo but as more English came to NZ the language started to die out.
Settlers bought in diseases to NZ and lots of Maori people were killed because they were not immune to these sicknesses and diseases and Maori numbers were taken down.
As school started in new Zealand many Maori got canned and strapped for speaking Te reo in school hours and on school grounds they weren't aloud to communicate with people using Maori speech.
Maori people (and some English) call for an amendment in 1867 there were 300 people that called for the amendment.
