Silent Sistaned Writing The Haunted Hut

It was a cold, dark, gloomy night. I stumbled upon an abandoned hut deep in the heart of the forest. I was just about to enter the hut, when suddenly I heard a loud but shocking disturbing THUMB coming from it. Slowly entering a hut I saw a huge shadow coming closer and closer.

As I looked in the reflection of the hut window, I saw nothing. I was really scared and had no idea on what to really do. Creeping up to the hut door, the mysterious thing started to chase after me. At first I thought  I was just hearing things but the next thing I knew I was running for my life!

As fast as I could I locked myself in my car and tryed to drive away. Then suddenly as I twisted the car key the whole car just shut down. Scared and frightened I made sure that all the car doors and windows were locked. Looking around through the cold frosted windows there was no one or thing in sight except for forest trees. As I looked in the distance I saw a beaming light, so while I was sitting in the cold car I made a plan on how to escape.

Finished with my plan, I unlock the door. As I was trying to creep away, then as I took my first step I hear a big thumb, and heavily breathing more like there was someone else there. Trying to walk as fast as I could to the the light, as I got closer and closer there was much more light. I tried to figure out what the heck it was. Crawling to the light I peeked my head over the bushes and looked into the distance.

As loud as I possibly could I screamed “help help”. I thought it was a village of people coming to rescue me but it wasn't. IT WAS A VILLAGE ON FIRE that had just been destroyed the night before. Running to my car I tried to get it started, and with my luck it did. As fast as I could I drove into the distance, and as far away from that hut as possible. THE END!! “AND thats why kids, you never go into the forest or anywhere alone, because why”. The kids replied “ You never know what's out there”

CAMP BENTZON

“YAY SANDSPIT HERE WE COME” I yelled as I hopped on the bus.  It was Tuesday the day camp had begun, excited that the day had finally arrived. Known as the BEST camp ever at Pt England I was overwhelmed, all I could do was just talk about  it all. Suddenly the bus stops, we load the ferry and were off.

FINALLY AFTER SO MANY HOURS we arrived at Kawau Island. Loading the bags on the deck as fast as possible, we then lined up in our teams. BENTZON was the best team ever with the three guardians MR and MRS Samuels and Mrs. McDonald. Emptying and preparing for the extremely tiring walk


SWEATING SO MUCH we had a break on the walk. I'm really sure that the walk was about 8 km  or something like that. Arriving at one part of the walk Isara said a wonderful speech  about camp and said how grateful he was.  We then headed back for camp and practised for our team item. So because I our was the best we came and in camp.

I enjoyed year 6 camp so much because we were all just like we'll FAMILY. So yeah when you go to year 6 camp you'll just have the time of your life.  

The Big Chill And The Big Drill

For the past few days the Wekas were given a task to research the climate change, Antarctic glaciers, drop stones, ANDRILL project. Then put our information together and put it in a presentation. Here is my ending product.

Here Is The News

     For the past 3 weeks the Weka's have been given a task to act out a play using puppets. This is what we have created with it.  Watch and see!

Similes

For the passed few weeks or so the Weka's have been reading Docking Day. Our reading was to have 2-3 good sentences to tell you why this years docking day was better than ever. We've also been told to illustrate 2 similes from the story. Here's my sentences and paintings.
                      

This years  docking was better than ever because a chocolate van came rolling down the hill spewing chocolate bars and biscuits like  Christmas decorations on a christmas tree. This story was also based on a true story which would be  awesome to experience. 

‘Like Christmas decorations tipped over the hill’

‘its doors gaping like jaws’

 

Mrs Verry

            Unfortunately our school Super Gran is retiring and is going to take it easy. Mrs Verry is a really GREAT, AWESOME person to know. She loves you so much and treat's you like her own. All our memory's of her are still with us. She's always going to be our Super Gran, and our Bling Queen.

Tooth Fairy 2

 

Have you ever watched The Tooth Fairy 2, well if you haven’t then I’m telling you right now that its a great movie to watch and enjoy with your family.

So anyways last weekend I watched The Tooth Fairy 2 with my cousins. We had snacks to go with it as in Willy Wonka Lollies, Caramel Popcorn, and a drink. When the movie started we all crawled into our blankets.  At first the movie was alright but as I kept watching it , it  got better and better.

The bit that I really found funny was when Larry Guthrie (the main character)  was playing snow fight with the after school kids but not for long. During the snow fight his ex- wife came and growled him  for all the mess he had created. While she was doing that Larry loaded the cannon ball into the slingshot  and let it go. What do you know it landed on her face.

In this movie there was a very cruel man who was engaged with Larry’s true love who he lost from winning a car at the bowling isle. This mean man was always trying to ruin Larry’s Life. He succeeded but then larry got revenge  for all the mean things that the mean man  had done.

At first when Larry had found out that he was a tooth fairy he hated it. But he started to realise that being a tooth fairy was actually fun. He then retired at the end and got back together with his ex who then got pregnant and had a wonderful baby.

After enjoying that funny and awesome movie we had some delicious pizza. A few minutes later basically my whole family was over. So we had and awesome night, enjoying pizza and watching that funny movie. Finishing our feed hours later we had desert. After all of that we watched the All-Blacks game.

Overall I think that my weekend was really awesome. Hopefully I’ll be able to enjoy another one exactly like that. I hope you enjoy the movie with your FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!

Watch Out And Keep Your Eyes Open! I'm going to be posting an awesome movie that I'll be creating. Here is my plan for my movie so far..

How To Get Better At Shot Put

Thanks To iaaf.org For The Wonderful Photo

 





For the last week or so the Wekas and Kiwis had to chose what style we would like to use to write about Shot Put. I chose Instructions which are for people who have tried this sport but want to get better.

I know that many of you out there have tryed a sport and want to take it further. If one of those sports is Shot Put , then who knows you might be another Valerie Adams if you read these handy tips on this post.

One  really important thing you need in Shot Put is the correct equipment.  Shot Put has only  a little Equipment involved :

*Shots which come in many sizes and materials ,
*Footwear which  usually have a  smooth, hard outsole for fast spinning
*The wrist wrap. Which  most athletes included in this sport  use it to  wrap their wrists   to prevent serious injury or to give support.

In Shotput you take your throw from a inside marked circle, with a stop board about 10 cm in front. After you put  your shot it is then measured from the center of the circle . The nearest mark in the ground  made by the heavy shot,  is then  rounded down to the nearest centimetre.

Step By Step

1. Holding The Shot

When holding your Shot it has to be on the base  of your fingers not on your palm and your fingers also have to be slightly spread out.

2. Neck Placement

First place the shot against your neck .  Lower it until it is down near your jaw. Push the shot into your neck.  Point your thumb towards the throwing direction.

3. Delivering  Your Shot
Your eyes up at the sky or ceiling.  Push the shot away from your neck.   Your elbows must stay high at all times , because  if your elbow is lowered it can cause serious injury.


Well There you go. Hopefully my handy tips have helped you get better at this sport. Thank you  very much for reading!!

Mt.Wellington Semi Finals!!!!

       

           With excitement my mum, aunty and I made our way to Victoria Park for my brother Kane's semi final under 14's Rugby League. When we had arrived at the game it was about to start so we all had headed over to give my brother good luck.

      Using the strategy by passing the ball around unfortunately the team that was challenging against Mt.Wellington had scored a try. Trying their best Mt.Wellington tried and tried to score but they could not. They still didn't give up because they still had faith in them.

   Not giving up my brothers team had scored a try. So after that It was  a chance for him to get that ball over the goal post. Shouting " YES YES YES" the Mt.Wellington team supporters were glad for them and were very happy that they were in the lead.

   

   The game was not over yet.The crowd had calmed down as the other team had gotten closer and closer to the goal line. With angry faces the number 5 from the other team had been throwing punches at the number 16 from Mt. SO on the field there it was both teams having a fight. Calming down the 1 who had started it all had gotten sent off the field.

 Sorting it out the other team wasn't ready so happily Mt.Wellington scored a try. All the pressure was on my brother because that score had counted as a victory. Obviously my brother had scored and it was victory. The crowd of Mt.Wellington was going wild.

  Overall this game was very good to watch. SO now the Rugby League that was challenging Mt. lernt that you had to be ready at all times and be discipline.

    

Stress Busters!!

Why Bees Sting?

Normally bees sting if they are provoked or annoyed. They become alarmed when you try to kill them, or drive them away. So using their weapon that nature has given them, they sting you  for self defence.


With a fine sharp, barbed, stinger the worker bee  stings. When you have been  stung, you have also been injected with a drop of poison .

We often hear that a bee  dies  after stinging a person. Normally a person who is stung knocks a offending bee away which tears its stinger from its body. Badly injured, the bee  dies.


As true to say if we don’t pull a bee away from its body the bee can sting as often as we allow it.

Ancient Greek Wrestling

Have you ever wondered what was ancient wrestling like?Well if you were then you're reading the right post.

If you're wondering where young men would train, they would train at a public place called a palestra. It  was a wrestling school for any young man who wanted to learn wrestling. It was even a school subject.

The reason why young men wanted to do wrestling was because they wanted to train for war. So every time they would go out to fight they would always win. This was until the Romans came along and won took over from the Greek empire.

Wrestling was very popular among the young men. If you didn’t know, wrestling could be won by throwing your opponent 3 times or by forcing him to surrender . The fighters would get many cuts from their gloves their opponent would wear.

Well there you go,you have read all my facts that I have found out about ancient wrestling.Thanks for reading!

Maui And The Sun

My Interesting And Funny Weekend!!!

Jumping with excitement I overheard my mum and dad saying that we were going to have a  BIG family dinner!When we have big family dinners it’s not just a 7 people it’s like with like 11 people!!!! Now on with the story.

When  arriving at home from Pak’n Save my brothers and I cleaned up the house so that when the visitors come it’s clean.After cleaning I helped my mum with cooking.My mum and I cooked Roasted chicken with onion, peas, carrots, corn , gravy, and lastly my mum’s delicious poatato bake .

When all my family had arrived  , we sat down and watched  Ireland vs The All Blacks.Mostly everyone in my family went for the All Blacks , but I went for Ireland. When the game had finished dinner was ready.

Everyone sat down at the table and did the l prayer.When we had finished doing the prayer my dad said to everyone ”Well don’t just stand there dig in”.When I was sitting down on the table my little cousin Liliana who is 2 was watching me eating, so I asked her if she wanted something to eat and what do you know she was hungry!!

Finally after dinner more of my  cousins arrived.We were all bored so we played a game called Blinds Men Bluff.Ok so if you're wondering what Blinds Men Bluff is it is when you have a blindfold and you put it over someone's head so that they can’t see.So  that’s what my brother had to do.

Ok, so my brother said to everyone clearly  to not run around or move in the game , and to not throw anything .Unfortunately we didn’t listen , and that caused an accident. My silly cousin Natascha was on the bed trying to run away from my brother Caleb , my brother must have pushed her which made her push the window out which caused it to crack.My mum and dad said that we had learnt our lesson to never play in the rooms again.

At the end of the night I had learnt my lesson, but to tell the truth I really did enjoy myself. Every time my family come over I really enjoy it and always have fun.
