My 100WC- Week 2

The Day Of Bad Luck

I was walking through the forest when I heard a large crack.I walked over to where the sound was coming from... I got grabbed on the leg from behind...It felt like an eel wrapping around my leg. It pulled me into the hole that it came out of , I was screaming,"HELP!" Nobody heard me. After a while I broke free and started to run away. As I was walking past a pond, the day after I got pulled into a hole, A whale jumped out of the pond and landed on me... Horrible day to be me.

My Holiday!

It started on the Friday we finished school. We got home and I went straight to my bedroom and lay there for about 20 minutes. The first Monday my nana took Hunter my cousin and I out to a skate park, stayed there for about 2 hours and then went back home. From Tuesday- Thursday I was really tired so I slept in until 11:00! On the Friday My nana, Hunter and my cousin went to Willobank and we patted eels! It was really fun. On Saturday I got a call from Logan asking if I wanted to go see a rugby game, of course I said yes. So they picked me up and we went to AMI stadium to watch  Southland vs Canterbury. Canterbury won. After that I stayed the night at Logans and we got 0 Hours of sleep. Then the night before school started I got 13 hours of sleep!

Soft Toy Robbery

I was driving my Cadillac past the mall when a teddy bear jumped out at me, threw me out of the car and drove away. So I called my friend and he came to me and picked me up. We drove up the hills, but the road went 2 ways so we went 1 way up the hill. I saw my number plate so my friend slammed the brakes and went out to talk to the soft toys. They started the car and tried to get away but it broke down. We threw them out got back in our cars and drove away.

Digi Awards- Our Classmates

Hey guys, Jack here. As part of a contest called DigiAwards, run by Core Education, our class partnered up with each other and chose from either a video, music video, ripple effect or two other categories. Asher and I teamed up to make what we think is a pretty good video. A week later, we received an email from CoreEd saying that it would be wise to have the makers of the the video Everyday Heroes - Our Classmates to attend the prizegiving assembly at Burnside High School on Thursday. So that is what we are going to do. Anyway, here is the video. Enjoy! 

Yaldhurst School Anual Ski Trip

On Friday 28th August Yaldhurst School, well the Year 4-8s, went on a ski trip like we do every year.

We left school at 7:20am to go to Mt Hutt. It normally takes us about 90 minutes to get there. Our trip was going well and we were traveling along and then we started going up the mountain.

About half way up the mountain the bus driver missed a gear, then she stalled the bus and it didn't have enough power to go up the rest of the mountain. So some of the parents transported some of us up and we were about to call Mt Hutt but then a Casmere School bus came up and took 20 of us. After a few more minutes another one came and picked up the rest of us.

When we got up there Mr Robertson gave us our cards and we went in to get our ski boots and skis. Logan and I went up the magic carpet 3 or 4 times and then we had our lesson with an Australian man. We didn't go down the magic carpet in the lesson this year because we had already been up the quad.

The lesson went on for 1 and a half hours until 12:00 and the rest of the day we just went up the chairlift and kept going down. I went inside a few times to eat but that was only 10 minutes of my day. All up I would have spent at least an hour on the chairlift. Here are some photos and a video of our day.

We learnt to use Persuasion Map to plan a speech! What do you think?

Manual Week 1 Term 3

Yesterday, on Thursday 23 July, we returned to our third term of Manual at Lincoln Primary. This term I am in science and my teacher is Mr Roozen. We were doing a test on which chewing gum lasted the longest. We had to put what we think what gum would last the longest. I put Extra Active Spearmint and It was correct. It lasted about 6 minutes and the shortest lasting gum was PK and the taste lasted about 1 and a half minutes. Here are some photos of us in science!

It was her brother.The girl turned around and glared at him. ''You did ... You did this!'' said the girl and started to chase him out of the room...Why did you do it.
