The Lucky Avocado

Since I was 12 years-old my mum used to by me lotto tickets, and now I have an obsessive gambling problem. Now I spend all of my money on them. But my life isn't all bad I have one very loyal friend also he is my only friend steve who is also an orange. Yes I also forgot that I’m bob and I’m an avocado.

On wednesday I was sitting in front of the T.V waiting for the lotto numbers and the numbers were 4, 12, 19, 1, 15, wait what those are my numbers I’ve won, I’VE WON. 40 years of lotto and I have finally won it. This is the best day of my life. So guess what I did I went straight to the lotto store and spend my 2 billion dollars on more lotto tickets. Then I swiftly raced straight home and told steve and he was so excited until I told him what I spent it on then he staggered back inside extremely depressed.

The next morning I woke up I went to Steve’s house but before I could make it their I was versos isley grabed of the bench and was put on the kitchen table. As the human walked towards the toaster I saw Steve in the juicer waiting to have the juice squeezed out of him I think this is the end I shouted to him from across the room and he aggread.

Thud Zac's feet hit the ball.

The opposition missed the goal.

The weather was so cold it was like we were in Antarctica.

Sam punted the ball like it was his sister's face, to start our first half of the Koru games.

Amazingly the ball went in the goal.

Myth Writing

How did the kiwi’s lose the ability to fly?

Long ago in the deep in the forests of the north island there were kiwis flying, playing and eating unlike what they do today. Walking along the forest floor hiding away all day and only coming out at night, and you might ask yourself why don’t kiwis still fly around today and here's why. Back before Stuart island was populated by man the kiwi’s favourite food was the berries that come from the famous Karaka Tree, in fact the kiwi’s loved it so much that they only ate the berries from the Karaka tree. But one day the kiwi’s were having a big party, when unexpectedly kriss the the kiwi said to all the other kiwis that their were no more Karaka Tree berries. Unexpectedly a humongous roar came from deep inside the forest. Who was that said kriss, it is I Tane Mahuta, as if said kriss, how dear you eat all of my loved Karaka tree berries said Tane Mahuta, it doesn't matter said kriss their will be more bloom next year, I don’t want them to be back next year I want them to be back now, said tane mahuta, okey Tane Mahuta said kriss we will rashon next year, right that is the last straw you cannot fly now or ever again and only then will my Karaka Tree berries be safe from you pest said Tane Mahuta! NOOO said Kriss along with all the other kiwis.

Our Science Investigation

Egg Drop Science

Today we did some science some boy science because the girls where all doing stuff so we decided to try the egg drop experiment. The rules where simple you could only touch the plate. But as you can see when we decided to go big or go home our teacher said that we had to use figs instead of eggs but we still had fun when the person in the bottom left (Jack B) decided to hit the cup which went flying off the table onto the ground lucky not smashing!

Types of Energy

Types of Energy

Energy is due to position or movement of an object - Kinetic and Potential

Forms of energy	What is it?	Example?
Kinetic energy	Energy in movement
Mechanical energy	Makes things move by workable moving part or parts.	Wind up toy, scissors, rubix cube and a pen.
Thermal energy	This energy produces heat by the movement of tiny particles within an object.	Fire, jug, kettle and a pot
Magnetic energy	Energy from attraction of objects made of iron.	Magnets on a fridge
Electrical energy	Electrical energy can be used to move charged particles through a wire.	Electricity and power which is used to power appliances
Potential energy	Stored Energy
Gravitational energy	Energy stored in objects held above the earth’s surface.	A flying plane has a higher gravitational potential then a plane on the ground
Elastic energy	Elastic energy occurs when objects are compressed and stretched	Slingshot, springs and a rubber band
Chemical energy	Chemical Energy is energy that is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules).	Batteries, diesel, petrol, natural gas, and coal.
Nuclear energy	the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.	Nuclear power plant - provides electricity

Kinetic vs Potential Energy

Hexegon

Today we had to do a hexagon activity to understand the laws of motion we decided that we need to group everything to a key word first then connect them to each other to make our spiderweb. The reason we are doing this is for our science this term about newton's 3 laws of motion.

Fire Science

This morning at school (4 May) the boys become pyromaniacs while the girls where learning self defence. We where doing a science experiment about if we light two ends of a candle and supported it between two cups it would rock like a seesaw which all sounded good in practice but sadly our experiment failed because the candle didn't act like a seesaw. ;(
But we watch a video of someone who knows how to do it properly and it worked for them. We discovered that the problem was that we put the wire through the cups rather then on them!

Rail Trail

It all started like every school day does with me biking to school but after that it was all different! My different day started with our class beginning to load our bikes onto the Kempthornes truck. After we had loaded all of the bikes my day began to get even stranger because we began driving to Little River where we were going to start biking the rail trail back to Motukarara.

Once we had arrived at Little River we saw the dead lake or lake Forsyth a undrinkable, unswimmable and non boatable waterway because of the large amount of algae in the lake. We got to have a good look at all of the warning signs and the overall quality of the water while we waited for the parents to get back to Little River so we could start the bike ride.

Once we had all been sorted into all of our groups we began the bike ride, and surprisingly we were biking right next to lake Forsyth, which for some people was a daunting prospect because if you fell off your bike you were in lake Forsyth which is not a good thing at all, but despite this daunting prospect nowon fell into lake forsyth. We finally past lake forsyth and began to bike on the canterbury plains where our next problem was the narrow cattle stops and bridges because normally you can bike two wide but with the narrow cattle stops you have to go back to one wide which created congestion but despite this terrible hardship we all soldiered on!

Eventually we began to see lake Ellesmere which was not far from the rock which was where we were going to stop for lunch. Soon we started to bike along the edge of lake Ellesmere, seeing lot’s of maimais and ducks and swans, a staggering amount of ducks and swans, but my duck watching was soon interrupted by the rock a large rock. Where once most of the boys had arrived we decided to climb the rock and have a picnic on top, but the best part about it was at the top the view was breathtaking! But the views were interrupted by some of the boys were pushing rocks of the edge and down the cliff.

After the boys had been told off and everyone had finished their lunch we continued on. We were know at the halfway point from Little River to Motukarara. Once we started again of course we sore lots of ducks, swans and miamias. But now their was something else that we had to worry about long narrow bridges with cattle stops at each end of the bridge every so often. After about 25 minutes of biking beside the road we began to leave it behind. We were also begging the final stretch of the rail trail so we also had left lake Ellesmere behind so the scenery started to get a bit boring so Jack and I decided to pass the time by wheeling over the cattle stops, but when we got to the second cattle stop I discovered that it was a bad idea because I hit the wooden fence and grazed my arm.

Once we started to dwindle to the finishing point. Sam, Jack S and I arrived in the second group and once we got back we discovered that the first group were all lying under the truck in the shade but that wasn't to our taste so to pass the time we decided to begin loading the truck until Eian Kempthorne (the owner of the truck) to finish the rail trail to finish loading the truck. Once everyone had finished and all the bikes were loaded we began to drive home (back to school) after a awesome day for two reasons. Firstly we all got to see the awesome scenery and secondly we all got a day of school!

Finally we got back to school and unloaded the bikes and got free time for an hour!

Memoir About My Town - by Isaac

The town was usual enough; it had
A school with a productive farm on it's fence line, a domain that was like the ones you see on TV, a Small dairy to buy everything for your sweet tooth needs, and even a small stone church
I never went To...

My mates and I
Did what boys do - raced around the the farm to get the work done, built tree Houses everywhere we Went with old scavenged materials we got for free, hit cricket balls over the fence (accidentally) and Dad to jump over the fence to retrieve them, and had also gone home covered in something!

Hexagons

This is me and sam hexagon activity about change which is our investigation is for this term. We had to work in team one had to do the cutting out and the other had to arrange them in the order we think is right
