My Hoildays

In my holidays my cousin came over, for White Sunday.

On Sunday last week we had Fakame-White Sunday. My friends and I were so nervous, because there were lots of people. I wasn't that scared, because that was my second time saying in front of people. My cousin, she started to cry so I said “don’t cry it’s going to be O.K, o.k” and she said ok. When it’s was my group's, turn to say it “I felt like I was going to die, but with my eyes opened. After I said my part it finished and we went home and had a big family dinner, YUMM.

I had a lot of fun this holidays, Thank You.

Eating Bugs Playlist

TOPIC: People should include insects in their healthy diet.

We should eat insects as part of a healthy diet.

I  agree with this statement because, they  are healthy, they are free and cheaper to produce.

 

Insects are a healthier option because they have more iron, vitamins, protein, and 80% of  the insects can be used , but on the other hand, meat takes 200m2 to produce, user's lots more water and only 40% is used.  

Insects take a lot less water to stay alive , they are easier to produce and take a lots less space . Insects is better than other bigger, proteins, fiber and they all make you fit and stronger.

The End.

Cross Country Practise

Cross Country Practise

It was a cold, windy Tuesday morning, and my teacher told us to that we were going for fitness up at the school field. The reasons we went for practising for cross country is that next week coming we have to participate in our school cross country and we have to be ready.

We ran around the beautiful, wet, fluffy, green grass with a little bit of mud on it. We stretched before we ran because if we don’t stretch our muscles might pop.

After our stretches my teacher sent the girl's first and then us. We ran around the field 2 times. I jogged with my mate Maselino for the first lap, then halfway he stopped and ran to his brother. So it was only me who carried on. While I was running the cold air was stopping me from reaching the end but I didn't let that stop me from reaching the end. At the end I was so tired.

Never Give Up.

I learnt today that when our school has cross country, at the start jog first before and then run so when other people are slowing down, that's when you sprint.

It feel’s like standing tall

Glenbrae school

Students of Glenbrae school had science week on week 10 of term 2, 2015. All the senior students were involved in the making of science projects. This was part of the science curriculum and the science experiments were on the physical and chemical changes of matter. Each class went to a different classroom to know what was their science project.

On Monday we had Mrs Raj. When we were with Mrs Raj we learned physical changes of matter. The three states of matter are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates, and neutron stars.

The next day Mrs Parker was with us in room 7. We learned about baking bread with Mrs Parker. When put all the ingredients together we then life one rest full time and the other one went straight to the oven. After 10 minutes we took the bread out and put the full rest bread in the oven. We then made butter to go with the milk. The first one good but the other one that got full rest. The second one was that had full rest was so yum.

I am so happy because I learned lots of good things.

The author is not actually drowning, but it gives you the idea of just how much she is sweating.

Motat

MOTAT

Museum Of Transport And Technology

Yesterday Room 7 students went on a field trip to Motat. When we got there we, Glenbrae seniors all walked to the gate because Katherine, our educator was waiting for us. We then followed Katherine to the rotunda that’s where everyone have morning tea and lunch. Room 7 students got chose to be in group. There was Mrs Parker, Mrs Card, Honey’s aunty (Rowena). First in Mrs Parker’s group we all had to go to the K900 steam train which was a pitch black colour. As we jumped up the stairs and entered the train, I could see how the train works and how to control it. It was a fun experience. After the fun experience Mrs Parker groups when into the pump house. We all realized that in the olden day people used to walk with a bucket down to the river and this time they use the pump house to deliver water to there houses.
