' Te Manawa Your fingers are too dirty you need to cut your fingers as the grumpy old teachers tells us one line girls one line boys.As we walk in side there are tables with chairs all lined up when we got to our tables we started to do math like they used to back in the old days the first thing that we did was times tables we did stuff like 0 x 1 = 0 and 3 x 4= after we finished doing all of that stuff we started to write with a fountain pen with is like a bit of steel on the end of the pen and we used that and we dipped ink and we started to write that took us 20 minutes to do that because we wad to do like 10 lines of work with that pen. After we finished at the little school we went over to another little house to make butter and pikelets but this time the teacher wasn't as mean we were making butter with a butter turner what you do is you put cream in and you turn and turn until the cream goes yellow and thick once we finished making the butter we went inside and we started to make some pikelets they were really good. Once we finished making the pikelets we were playing with toys that they had back in the old days like a skipping rope was a piece of string and the hula hoops were a cycle piece of steel so if you dropped it it would heart really bad. Once we had finished doing that we started to do washing in the old days first we put them in hot water and moved them around with a piece of wood and then we got them out and we put them throw a ringer and it was amazing how good it dried out.

"Year 8 boy's go over to the start line!"Mrs Cuming yells out on the microphone.
== My heart starts racing feeling scared as I have ever been. So Jackson, Fisher and I walk over to the start. We had to go first while the girls were sitting down waiting. Mr Richardson started to say (on your masks ... get set ... GO). We started to sprint. Everyone was cheering us on full of excitement. Remy gets into the lead while Jackson and I were coming last. We sprint past the adults, we run behind the tank and through the gate. While we are still scared out of our pants the first person has already gone around the corner. I'm starting to puff and back through the gate we go. All the adults are still cheering us on as we are doing our half a lap. Our bikes are just ahead of us. ==

== I've finally passed 3 people.I get my helmet on and get on my bike and zoom off. There are marshalls down at the corner cheering me on. There is a person right in front of me so I pass him and go around the corner. The corner is a few metres in front so I start pumping it around the corner. ==

== Wossssssh ... down the hill pumping as fast as I can. Another person I front of me ... Try to speed up ... I'm catching up ... Around him but he his still right behind me. He's trying to catch up to me. He's so close but we are just about to hop off our bikes and run to the pool. Onto the gravel and off our bikes we go. I'm taking off my shoes and he's still trying I sprint to the pool. I'm using the last of my energy dive into the pool. He's starting to run. ==

When I had already done 4 lengths he just hopped in. So I hop out and do my 4 lengths. Done too. Then on to my other two. I am puffing out my guts.
== I can't last but I've finished my lengths! I can hop out and run to the finish line. Everyone is cheering and I pass the finish line. I can't believe it. I get my number i came 5 then I lie down proud as I have ever been. Nana takes my photo and then we walk off proud as. == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =**2016**=


 * //Leadership Day//**
 * // At the GRIP leadership day the theme was LEADERSHIP. We learnt about how to be a leader and how to stand up for other people. I got to go on stage and I was given a badge, it was awesome. I went on stage because I wrote a good little bit in my book and I got chosen. I got chosen to go up for a game. I had to answer lots of questions about how to be a better leader to win. I didn't win but I was really good at doing the quiz. I also got picked for another game where we had a sentence and we had to say it to people. I enjoyed the day and learnt a lot of skills about leadership. //**

=__** Gallipoli - The scale of our war. **__= As soon as we walk on in the big wall of war it looked so amazing that straight away I just wanted to go in … but we had to wait for ages and ages. Finally our whanau groups got to go in one by one. Sad music plays. Everyone is all around this big massive statue. A massive man lies down injured with his pistol shooting one by one and with dust flying everywhere. We finish looking at that amazing statue, we walk through into another massive dark room and there is another one. This time he is on one knee next to a dead body that is one of his mates. He has a blanket over him but that is not all. As we walk through the exhibit we are faced by more statues. Each one keeps on giving me more information about the war and what happened in the war. By Tyler

__The top of the hill__

On the street we start walking up this massive hill … cars going by, rubbish flying by and graffiti all over the walls! But before we went to the top of the hill we went to Burger King and everyone got to choose out of an ice cream or a frozen drink. My whanau group got to go first because we were waiting the best and helping everyone in my group. I got a frozen coke, Elliot and Josie got an ice cream and Phinece got a frozen stack. In the frozen stack it was frozen coke, frozen raspberry and frozen sour apple. It looked nice but I still didn't get it. After everyone had got their drink we kept on stomping up the hill with sore legs. When we finally hit the top we walked into the big tall museum and we sat down on the floor and before we got into all of the walking around and all the other stuff the instructor asked us if we wanted to go to the toilet. All of the girls went to the toilet and then Johnny and I went. When we were running over there we noticed that when our foot hit the ground it made such a loud noise through the whole place. It was sick! But when we got out of the toilet Mrs Fielder told Johnny and I off because we were too loud when we were running in the tall museum. After we looked all around the museum we went down the steps around the water and down more steps and then there it was … the unknown warrior. The unknown warrior was a man in the war that no one knew about and they shipped him over on the boat and laid him down in his coffin and on the grave. It was a big square that was made out of metal and it had 4 stars on it. The four stars were there because of the 4 stars on the New Zealand flag. Around the unknown grave it had Maori words around it and english words as well. Once we heard about all of that they had a ceremony. They have one everyday until 2018. It started in 2014 because WW1 started in 1914 and it ended in 1918 so instead of 1914 to 1918 they are doing it from 2014 to 2018. They needed a person to read the Ode in maori. Daniel did this for us. So then once he had done that it was time to go. We were going to Monsoon Poon. We went there the last time we went to wellington. It was so yummy! So of we went. We started walking down the stairs and on the road. When we got to Monsoon Poon all of us boys, like Johnny, Jackson, James, Jacob and I had a table to ourselves. We started to get bored when we were waiting for our food but then a while after that, when we were still waiting, we started to talk. We were all laughing like anything But then I was being too loud for a restaurant and Mrs Fielder kept on coming over because of that.

Bang!!!!!! My alarm goes off. I got a huge fright and jumped out of bed with a huge wave of excitement ... but i was still so scared from when my alarm went off. I start getting on my clothes with a huge wave of excitement and I put on the jug and start brushing my teeth. When the jug was ready I poured it all over my weet bix and put my milk and sugar on and start watching TV. When I was just about halfway through my weetabix mum got out of bed and she asked me, “Are you ready for camp?” I said, “Yeah. I just need to brush my teeth and do my hair.” and she said, “Hurry up!!!!” I finished my weet bix, did my hair and got into the car. I said bye to dad and off we went. I turned up my beats and then mum turned it down and she talked to me about to be good and listen. We turn up to the MacDonald’s and wait for Tayler and Cidnee to turn up. Then they finally get here we say by to our mums and hop in the truck. Zoom and off we go. We turn on the music. It was ‘7 years’ When we first started to go we were all quiet but then when we got past Kimbolton, we all started talking. When we got into Feilding Tayler and Cidnee went on Jacob’s ipod and Tayler went on my phone and she played Subway Surfer. When we were just about at Wellington we went past the water and I could see Kapiti and I told Wendy, Jacob, Cidnee and Tayler about how cool that camp was!!!!!!!
 * Our First Day In Wellington **

__** Apiti Show **__ At the Apiti Show I learnt about trying new things. I had to when I was drawing and when I was making my waka. The wood kept on breaking so I found a new piece and just keep on going.

=2015= =Rangi Hut Tramp= Snap! as we start walking over the branches at the Rangi Hut bush walk. i'm so excited walking up the hills. While we were walking we came across a trap, it was a possum trap! So we cut off the track and we climbed up to get the trap. It was pretty old but we couldn't get it so we said we will try and get it when we come back from the hut. We get back on the track and we set off up the mountain. i was doing free running and running up all the walls of the track when it started to rain. I was getting colder then we had a stop so we could wait up for all the juniors. We arrived at a lookout and there was a sign. we had a competition over who had the loudest yell. Of course i had the loudest yell so we kept on going and we could see the bridge that we were going to cross. When we got there, everyone tried to find a rock and we were going to throw the rock off the edge. It just smashed its way down. it was so awesome! When we finished that we traveled up to the hut and when we were just about there, there was a waterfall. We stopped and had a drink using our cupped hands. It tasted so nice and refreshing. Finally we reached the hut. When we got there we had lunch and wrote all off our names in the Hut book. Once we all ate lunch we started to go back down to the carpark. Hannah was my walking buddy. We had a fun time although she was always holding on to my bag so i didn't slip off the edge. It was so much fun, and was way faster going down than coming up the mountain. By the time we got back down the mountain the bus was there the Juniors arrived and everyone went home.

Leadership Day At the leadership day it was all about how to be a leader and how to stand up for other people.I got to go on stage and I was given a badge, it was awesome. I went on stage because I wrote a good little bit in my book and I got chosen. I got chosen to go up for a game. I had to answer lots of questions to win. I didn't win but I was really good at doing it. I also got picked for another game and we had a sentence and we had to say it to people.

Our video to teach you how to be safe on a motorbike

Camp Stories After our long exhausting time of music making we went and we found some seats. When we got over to the seats we got some muffins and started to look for the boat that we were going to go on. As we were eating our muffins we watched the boat that we were going to go on. Out of nowhere the boat came from behind another boat. There it was! It looked like a big pile of snow just sitting there in the crystal clear water. The boat looked like a big white mountain of wood. I was amazed how long it took for it to park up. It took for ever. After we had our muffins we cruised over to the boat.Once he got over to the ramp we went over and we lined up ready to hop on. “Hello Captain,” we said. Once we said it he said his name was called John. So one by one we hopped onto the boat. We said hello captain John because that was his name while we walked into the boat. When we got on the boat we had to sit down and John told us what to do to be safe on the boat. So he held up a life jacket and we had to say what it was called. So we all said life jacket at the same time incredibly. After John told us what to do Dylan and I went up on to the front of the boat I looked over the side. When we started to go Dylan, Derek and I went and we started to look for fish and little baby jelly fish. I saw little baby jelly fish as I started to look over the side. We started to move. When we got out of all the boats we saw the police boat. It was just sitting there tied up with rope and string. There were loads of boats lined up in a line. Next to the police boat was a big red shiny towing boat that tows around all the small boats like dinges. Then Dylan told me to come and get some grapes because there were some on the table in side the boat. When I got inside everyone was there next to the grapes eating them all. When I looked in the bowl they were just about all gone so I had to quickly get some grapes before they were all gone. After I had eaten some grapes we tried to find some fish jumping in the water. Then we heard one. It sounded like water splashing against the rocks so we turned around and it was a real fish jumping in the water! I hit Dylan on the shoulder to look at the fish. When he turned around he was like, “Wow I thought you were lying about seeing the fish. Wow they are so cool!” Then Nikki asked us what we were looking at and Dylan said we were looking at the fish. “I can't see anything Dylan. They must be gone. It is amazing how long it took for them to swim away from us.” So then Derek came and told us to come onto the front of the boat and look at all the houses because there were some pretty big houses on the hill. So Dylan and I went up on to the front of the boat to look at all the big houses. When we got up on the front of the boat just about everyone from Apiti was up on the front of the boat trying to look for fish. So Dylan, Derek, Jackson and I sat down and started to look at all the big and shiny boats. Then we heard a noise. Captain John was going under a big water fall thing so we had to go inside the boat ... but Dylan and I didn’t go inside. We wanted to get wet! But when John went out of the waterfall the boat was all slippery and hard to walk on. When the sun came out it started to dry up and it was easier to walk on. When we got back up on the front of the boat we were starting to drive. Finally we came to end our boat trip so then John parked up and we all said thank you to John. We all hopped off the boat and he went back into the ocean. By Tyler

After we were done making our music, the camp mums rolled and got our rolls for lunch. When they left we walked back to the park and had a play. When our rolls came we all got to get a roll each. In my bun I had ham, tomato, cheese, lettuce and mayo. I enjoyed eating my bun because It was really yum and tasty. While we were having our buns Dylan, Derek and I tiptoed over to the slide. When we got up to the slide we went behind the slide so the camp mums and the teachers could not see us. Once we had finished our buns we slid down the slide. When I was going down the slide I got a slide burn on my arm. It was stinging for a while but then it did not hurt so I kept on going down the slide. Once I got out of the slide Derek and I jogged to the swings. Derek beat me to the big swings so I had to go on the baby swings. Derek laughed at me that I had to go on the baby swings but I said, “It doesn't matter.” When we got up really high on the swings we jumped off the swing. I went higher than Derek. When we hit the ground Derek got a ground shock. After that we went back on the slide. When we got up there we had to wait in the line. It was a pretty big line too! Then the last person went so I went down the slide. That time, when I hit the ground, I didn't get a ground shock. So we kept on going down the slide until I heard someone say, “Ouch!” It was just Huntah. He got a slide burn on his leg. Lots of his skin came off his leg but he wasn’t hurt. Zahn was there with him so they went off and they went to the baby playground. Eventually I stumbled down the slide. Dylan was coming right behind me. I felt scared because he was coming down fast ... but suddenly I got to the bottom. I quickly got out of the slide ... Neg minute ... Dylan came zooming down the slide out of nowhere. When Dylan got out he said to me, “Let’s go over to the swings and jump off the swings. So we sprinted over to the swings and we both got a swing each and we started to swing up high then higher then HIGHER ... until we got to the top. When we got to the top we could see the Bob Barker with its big hungry jaws on the front. So then we called down on to the ground for something. After this Mrs fielder told us what to do Dylan and I zoomed back to the swings before no one else got to them. While we were running to the swings Dylan tripped over and hurt his arm but he was alright. So we kept on running to the swings. When we got on the swings Jackson came. over and asked if he could have a turn but we said, “We have just got on so can you please wait.” He said, “Yes.” The rubber on the swing felt like an old tractor tyre Dylan said, “Look how high we can go!” So we started to push and push until we got higher. Then we jumped. We went so high and long, it was like we went as far as the sea. It was amazing. So then Mrs fielder called out to us and told us we were just about to leave. We sprinted over to Mrs Fielder and we got into our groups and started to leave. Our group was next to Dylan’s group. When we were walking back we saw some fish. They were darting through the water. We walked back to Capital e and that was our day By Tyler



**2014**

= 2013 = After our long exhausting bush walk with some scrapes and bruises we finally got out. Then Dylan and I sprinted over to the dam with plastic bags trying to catch some tadpoles. I yelled out to Dylan, “Hey Dylan, have you caught something?” “No,” he said with a loud scream. Then I said, “I have caught something!” “Wow,” he said. Then he sprinted over to me and he said, “Wow it has got legs. Can I have it?” I said “No.” We heard a big splash. It was Pixel in the water. We turned around and had a big laugh. It was a great end to tadpole hunting.

To find out if worms like to live in different foods! We are creating a large worm farm in our Action learning area. We need to know what to feed the worms to keep them healthy. We think the worms will like the tea bags best! Different foods How many worms are under the different bedding? Note: We will use a tray and put measured amounts of potting mix and scraps. We thought that they would like the tea bags best but they actually like the paper best! As a result of our investigation we now know that the worms liked the paper best because it was warm and texture was great and it was moist. We thought that the worms would like the citrus a bit because in an acid/alkali test we did they liked to live in the acid and citrus is acid!?? Our results were reliable because we did five tests and they were around the same results. Our experiment was a fair test because we kept all the amounts of food and potting mix the same, also we kept our controlled variables the same except as we used one worm farm. We did not know how many worms were in our worm farm. In our first method it didn’t work since the tray was so small. There was not enough room for the worms to move to an area. We could not put enough worms into the space available. We had to use our big worm farm since there were so many worms in it! We needed fair results so then we realized we needed to put them in a bigger space! We were amazed to see how quickly the worms moved to the food they prefered. After only a couple of minutes we could see worms in the containers. Next time we would use larger containers and make sure the moisture levels were right.

__**Waste Busters' Pinata**__
Mrs Fielder had a really good idea. She had seen Pinatas in Central America and thought we could make really good ones for technology but we all thought that the main point of pinata's is to eat the lollies!

We had to work out what shape would be easiest and what would look good and what a shape would look like! We had to make sure that everyone got a go at doing something!
 * 1) We needed to achieve a group working together and everyone getting ago at something!
 * 2) We needed to keep the structure.
 * 3) We needed to keep the shape.
 * 4) We needed to keep the decorations colourful.

We had to think about what colors go together and what the windows and doors would look like and how the shape would look with paper wrapped around the body of our Broom Broom Car!
 * We had to use Cardboard box
 * Paper
 * Cardboard
 * Pens / coloring things
 * We only had 2 more days to decide on what to make
 * We had to think about who can do what and what skills they have to make it
 * We had to make sure it would break and wasn't too soft!

We first were going to do a Globe but the shape was a circle and too difficult to make,

The roundness was hard to cut out of the cardboard! We had to make another plan and we all decided that a broom broom car would be easy to make because it is square.

We made a goal to make sure that everyone's decorations were put on and that everyone had an important job to do! We did very well to achieve our goal because everyone colored in a window and a picture!

Our next step is to cover up all the white and do some more decorations and colors and face highlights!

Presentation:


 * We had to make sure that all the colors matched and didn't make the windows and decorations look not very good!
 * Every one's windows and pictures were put on.
 * I like our pinata because it is very colorful, I think our next step is to glue on the windows. ( Bianca )
 * I like our eyes and wheels because they are colorful and each one's different, I think out next step is to maybe do some more face decorations and fix some bits. ( Brooke )
 * I liked our eyes because they were very colorful and I liked the blur around it, I think that our next step is to put in the driver and mouth. ( Tyler )
 * I think that our next step is to do some more face bits, I think that our pinata is great because everyone got to do something! ( Hannah )





media type="custom" key="22512064" When we were sketching Boysie us a story about his mum's cat. She went away and the cat got hit by a car and Boysie got it and he skinned it and made it into a Davey Crockett hat and when his mum got home and she was looking around. His mum asked him where the cat was and he said, "On my head," and he was grounded for long as!
 * Boysie's tales**

The kakas were swooping onto us as they were pooping on us. It was cool when they were landing on us but not pooping. They were black,gold,grey and red. They were as fluffy as a chicken. Then we went down to the fishing. Brooke threw her line out. She got a tug. I said in my head that she got a shark. The line was saying it wasn't a shark though. Nek minute ... SNAP! Ben and Dan caught the most blue cod.

6.11.2012 Lamb and calf story At lamb and calf day each Whanau group had to sell muffins and our group sold apple and cinnamon muffins and we got lots of money. It was really hot like a fire because it was very sunny. Lots of people came my lamb was awesome at leading and for the drinking competition. My lamb won and I was getting other muffins and they were nice muffins too. Our muffins were nice too we put our stand by the tree for it will be shady. it was a really hot day we had a umbrella too. When it was time to lead our lambs I went in the lamb pen and I was leading my lamb. My lamb was good at leading after the calling and leading it was time to give out the ribbons and I got 5 2nd's 2 1st's and the best ribbon. There was lot's of lamb there and some calves. At lamb and calf day I tasted muffins my miniature scene was about swimming between the flags. <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">I am <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">expand my writing by u <span style="color: #008080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">sing my senses, and who, where, what, when, and how

Lamb and calf story

I have a lamb because it is nearly lamb and calf day. Last lamb and calf day my was called Isabella and we won the cup. This time my lamb is called Sophie. She is very good at leading but Huntah's lamb isn't good at leading my lamb drinks 250m of milk. My lamb has a red collar my lamb has a red lead too.My lamb live in a paddock and it sleep's in a dog kennel. My lamb is docked. I think my lamb will go well and win the cup.

Safety If there was someone hurt I would help them. 1 Tap them on the shoulder and ask them are they OK 2. See if they are breathing. 3 Put them in the recovery position. 4. I would put a warm thing over like a blanket so they are warm.

One day Huntah and I went on our motorbikes and then splat. I crashed into Huntah. But I had my gear on that's good. On another day I went to a trail ride. We went to the Apiti Trailride and roooom rum rum rummmm, round the course I raced with Jacob. But suddenly Jacob cut the corner and crashed into me ....bang ..crash... bang crash. My motorbike caught on fire and exploded. I rolled away there was lots and lots of fire. I yelled "watch out Jacob". He was lying on the ground. I tapped him on the shoulder and shouted "Jacob Jacob are you OK!" He didn't answer me. I looked to see if he was breathing. I lay him flat and pressed his lungs. He coughed and spluttered. I yelled for help. Dad came along and helped me put Jacob into the recovery position. I was hurt too because I went through a fire and my motorbike was on fire. Paul called the fire brigade and they called the helicopter. Jacob and I went to the hospital. Luckily I had my safety gear on and I helped Jacob. We are now better riding our motorbikes carefully, and we know how fast to go.

2012 I learnt how to make a sketch and a poster and I learnt how to make a bird house and a poem for the show. I liked making my bird house and glueing my sticks on to the bird house. I came 3rd and I came 2nd for my sketch. I liked wat c hing the shearing. media type="custom" key="11233098" media type="custom" key="10683610"
