Timber Nook

Timber Nook

Yesterday at 8:45 we were put on the bus and got driven to Timbernook The bus ride took about half an hour to get there.
Once we got there we were put into three groups we were given five minutes to think of a team name and a little dance to go with it. our group name was the SAVAGE TREE SNAKES. 
Out of the whole time we were at Timbernook we did about two challanges the firsh challange was that our teams were lined up from tallest to shortest and we had to find a way to get a hula hoop to the other side of the line without the hoop touchinh the ground and our team had to stay conected. Then we had to get the hoop through the line without it touching the ground and our team had to stay conected. Then the other one was we had to build a human body out of anything there was lying around the forrest.
after completing those challanges we were taught how to do the Timbernook crouch because in order to cook your marshmellow you had to do the crouch. 
While we were waiting to cook our marshmallow we were allowed to play on some of the activities they had like a rope swing a tire swing ect.
The part I enjoyed the most was the rope swing because at the end you could let go and you would land in the mud.

If you wanted to cook on the fire you had to do the Timbernook crouch

AWESOMENESS

One of the challanges was we were to build a

Red Skin Writing

Red Skins

In room 11 we have recently been doing persuasive writing and one of our tasks we needed to do was  write a piece of writing to Mr Billings to say why we need red skins and if it was up to is expectations we would get a red skin and this is mine

• Why I need redskins
• Because they taste good
• I am hungry

Have you ever really really wanted just to bite in they sweet sugary goodness of a red skin? Don't lie I know you have. Well now I am going to tell exactly why I need redskins.

My first reason is they just taste so good. Don't you agree, yes of course you do. Redskins are literally the  best lollie ever. They taste better than anything in the world. (Mr Billings  am sure you would agree.) Just thinking about redskins is making me hungry.

I am so hungry right now that I could eat a container ship full of redskins. Trust me those are very big. I am so hungry  only crave redskins and won't eat anything else. I will die if I don't eat soon.

Writing Sample

Yesterday we were given four pictures to write about as a writing sample for Mr Billings. And this is mine. 

Learning to swim. Isla

“Hurry up Bill, remember last one to the troth is a rotten egg.” Yelled Bob.

“Oh ok.” Bill yelled back.

They both started racing towards the feeding troth where the farmer dumped his breakfast scraps from the day before.

“I won.” Screamed Bill hitting the side of the trough.

“No I won.” Yelled Bob sliding up next to him.

“Lets just call this a tie.” said Bill.

“Fine by me.” agreed Bob.

As they started wolfing down their breakfast.

“Oh I just got a mouthful of dry bacon.” “Hey Bill where does bacon come from, it tastes so good.” Asked Bob.

“I don't know but it's pretty good.” agreed Bill.

As they finished  breakfast they wandered over to the river to have a drink when suddenly a shadow was cast above us it was Billy.

“What are you ham steaks doing at the edge of the river.” He laughed

“Getting a drink.” they replied nervously.

“Ok you can have your drink in peace.” He snickerd

“Really.” They said surprised. (Usually Billy would've beaten them up.)

They knelt down to get a drink when Billy showed the in they icy cold river.

“Come on I did not even get a drink” yelled Bob

They started kicking furiously trying to fight the current to get back to dry land.

“Help we can't swim.” They yelled.

Persuasive Writing

Persuasive Writing

Room 11 have recently been doing some persuasive writing Mr Billings gave us some options where we had to choose one of them and write about where you agree with the argument or not. and this is mine.

Should Students Be Allowed To Eat During Class?

• Yes they should.
• Because students might be so hungry and morning tea or lunch might be so far away they won't work or focus on anything they are supposed to.
• People just get hungry.

Introduction

I am writing this argument because I think that students should be able to eat in class. (And because it's our writing task.) Anyway this is why students should be allowed to eat during class. Please enjoy.

My Smart Idea

I think students should be allowed to eat during class. Because students might be so hungry and morning tea or lunch might be so far away, that they won't work or focus on anything they are supposed to. (Teachers hate it when students aren't focusing.)

That is why students should be allowed to eat in class but their should be some rules about it like... they should be only allowed to have two items of food on their desk and that would stay there for the rest of the day. (e.g Fred put an apple and bag of chips on his desk to eat in class he wouldn't be allowed to eat his bag of chips and then go to his lunch box and put a biscuit on his desk)

Conclusion

That’s why I think that students should be allowed to eat during class!!!

This Is my hamburger plan for my The first time I saw Character writing.

Voucher work

Mr Billings set us a task in maths. We were told to label all the features of a voucher, then make our own and this is mine.

Character writing The First Time I saw… My Chickens

In room 11 we have been doing a lot of work on character description and show not tell. we were set a writing task and we were to describe a character and we were not to tell the reader who the character was. and this is mine.

Character writing The First Time I saw… My Chickens

The first time I saw them was a week after my 8th birthday. They were huddled together in a brown cardboard box. Their feathers were a silky brown, and comb a bright red. I had never seen anything so adorable in my life. I named them Holly and Molly.

As they got used to the long grass in the orchard they were becoming more and more friendlier. After a week or two they ate the food straight from my hands. It felt like a tiny massage just for my hands.

My They are also quiet calm, they aren't the types of chickens that if they don't like being held they would flap their wings. Instead they just wriggle around and fidget. When they're not comfortable (which is quite annoying.) They also enjoyed being held and stroked by me and sometimes my brothers.

But there's one thing that they do that is just so annoying and that is they poop just randomly when they need to. Most of they time they either do it on me or I step in it. What's worse is that they are sometimes very dirty and end up getting my clothes very dirty.

Bradley Chalkers Work

Bradley Chalkers Work.

In room 11 we have been reading a book called there's a boy in the girls bathroom. We were given some questions about the book and were to describe him using different character traits. This is my work!!!

What does he look like? (Beginning of book)		What does he act like?
He has shaggy hair, permanent frown, he looks like he hasn't washed for months		He doesn't need to obey the rules, and acts like he doesn't care. And acts like he is unfriendly, and lazy.
What does he say?		What do others think of him?
He doesn't say please or thank you, and is very rude, and disobedient to the teachers and other kids		They think he is a monster from outer space and the try there best to avoid him.
From this evidence I can tell Bradley has these character traits:  Rude, disobedient , mean, bully, cruel, cold hearted, immature, and impulsive.

What does he look like? (End of book)		What does he act like?
He has a permanent smile on his face. Slightly less shaggy hair.		He acts like he has all the friends in the world He is nice to the teachers and the other kids.
What does he say?		What do others think of him?
He says please and thank you. And Hello it is a pleasure to see you today		They think he is nice and has changed a lot. They don't think he is a monster from outer space.
From this evidence I can tell Bradley has these character traits:  he is now mature, trustworthy, nice, friendly, happy go and sensitive.

Character traits Happy, Sad, Lazy

Character traits Happy, Sad, Lazy

In Room 11 we have been working on Character traits, Character traits are someone's behavior attitude and personality. This is my work!!!

My first character trait description is about ANGER

I was inches away from the angriest person in the world his screwed up face a bright glowing red, his big bulgy eyes stared down his victim. I could hear him muttering curse words to himself but couldn't work out what they were over his thunderous snorting. He was twitching like mad now and repeating things over and over again “I am going to kill you, I am sooo going to kill you” he repeated.

My next character trait description is about HAPPINESS

He was bouncing up and down and smiling from ear to ear his eyes were wide with excitement, he was speaking in a high pitched voice it was almost impossible to understand.

My next character trait description is about LAZY

Look’s like

• Tired/sleepy
• Messy hair
• Drooling

Sound’s Like

• Grunting/groning
• I cant be botherd

Act’s like

• Can't be bothered doing anything
• Grumpy
• Not moving very much

“Noooooooo I can't be stuffed I'm too tired” I groaned as I slowly slid off the couch when I got up I just sunk back into the couch wiping a little bit of drool from the corner of my mouth.

width=15cm
length=30cm 

Purple Bead

Mandarin language name tags

Mandarin language name tags

During mandarin we were able to make some name tags with our name in English, mandarin, and chinese.

•  First we had to choose a coloured piece of paper.
•  Then we had to fold it in thirds. 
• Once we did that we would write our names on two of the three sides making sure we didn't write it upside down.
• Then sellotape it so it made a triangle.

And there we have our name tag and this is mine!!!  

Mihi

We have been working on our mihi to explain our whanau our mountain and river. This is mine.
