The Pinnacles

Last Saturday a friend and I walked up a very steep track to the Pinnacles in the Coromandel. It took us 6 hours to go up and back. We were exhausted when we reached the hut, then we still had to climb for another 30 minutes up over 500 steps, 2 ladders and clamber up boulders to get to the very top! It was very hard but very satisfying.

Diary Writing

On super sad Sunday, I skipped through the extremely long grass to the playground.

I was on the monkey bars when my quiet cousin pushed me off and the wood pushed my cuticle back and also damaged my toe nail. My toe nail went white, purple then blue. Now it is very sore to squeeze it hard. It is painful to walk on as well. I am so lucky that my toe nail didn't come right off my skin! I am so lucky that I am not in hospital right now. I am glad that I'm at school and not in hospital.

Then we walked back through the long grass to go home. My favourite part was the monkey bars because you can swing, jump, miss bars and climb. I felt extremely happy and excited to go there.

What's Happening in Week 6?

This week we are practicing our items for our end of year performance and working on our calendars.

Diary Writing - At the Beach

Last Sunday I went to the Papatoetoe beach. We brought three boogey boards, 1 shovel and 4 buckets.

Later we built sand castles. Eventually one big wave was coming towards us and we nearly lost a boogie board.

Meanwhile, I started to surf again and then a big rip knocked me off the boogie board. It felt like I was running towards a rhino.

After a while my boogie board got stuck in a bumpy rock. I was trying to keep calm but suddenly a beastly wave nearly washed me away.

During the day we made a bigger sand castle so we don't get hit. If we saw a wave coming, we always put the bucket over it.

In the end we got dressed and drove back home. My favourite part of the day was going back home.

Iron Brion Show

On Thursday, the Middle school went to the auditorium. We sat down on the floor. When I looked up I saw some colours.I thought the ceiling was on fire. Then Mark came and he did a big jump. Then a girl came. They were playing hide and seek. Mark and the girl couldn't find Iron Brion. The middle school made a loud sound. Then Iron Brion came into the auditorium. Mark and Brion did a chest bumb. Mark said, "Where were you hiding?" Brion said, "Im not telling." Mark said, "Please." Brion said that he was hiding in the toilet. It was the girl's toilet.

Iron Brion was very big. His head and his hair were like a gargantuan. After that Mark went outside to make hamburgers.

Brion and the girl showed us the four food groups. The first one was meat and meat alternatives. The second one was fruit and vegetables. The third one was milk and dairy products. The lucky last one was bread and cereals.

Brion said "Who wants to dance with me?" Then Brion said to the teacher, "Will you choose a girl and a boy from your class?" Mrs Armitage told Zaeem to go and dance. I don't know who the girl was because I only looked at the boys. Darren did the best dance. He got the hat first. I thought Suliasi was the best. He copied Iron Brion. Iron Brion was the funniest.

Then Brion went back to the girls toilet. We went outside to eat hamburgers. There was a vegetarian and a beef line. On the burger they put tomato, salad, beef and mayonaise.
