Zapping savage

I’m a mouse. A gray and pink mouse and I’m here to survive. There’s a lizard. A scaly lizard and he’s here to eat. Then there’s a hawk. A evil vicious hawk and she’s here to kill.
There’s a movement in the stones and a lizard slowly emerges. A ant comes up  and crawls up to its eyes then his slimy tongue comes up then, MUNCH! The ant is gone. Squawk, squawk three hawk's around me. A hawk lands at the entrance of my hole and a giant spider comes out from the other end of my hole. Now I have no choice but to runn! I can feel all the adrenaline pumping through my veins and I can hear the hawk right behind me.
Running as fast as I can I ram into a stick but I keep going. The hawk gets closer by the second and my heart gets fast every millor second. I find a little hole in the side of the hill and I run into it. The hawk is rummaging through the stones it gets closer, I have to get out of there. I sneak out of a little hole and runn!!!
A few seconds after that the hawk sees me and I have to pick up the pace. The hawk is a tale length behind me and I have to get away from it. The hawk lands so close to me I can feel the air behind me from the hawk. I run into some skulls and the hawk gives up. I am now safe from all the drama.

Wellington Adventure

On Sunday Room 4 hopped on a bus at 7.30am and drove to Wellington. Our bus driver was Don and he used to be a principal. To keep us entertained we watched movies like Jurassic Park, Despicable Me 3 and Avengers Infinity War. We stopped at Napier and had some lunch. Then we hit the road again. A few hours later we got to Silverstream retreat. My bunk buddy were Blake and Charlie D. At 6.30pm we headed over to the dining room. The chefs cooked a yummy lasagna. Then we had to go to bed at 9.00 O'clock.

One Monday we went to Parliament. Parliament is made out of three buildings, The beehive, Parliament house and the Library. Our host was William his job in Parliament educated (teacher). We went to his class room and it was set up as the debating chamber. He told as to try sit on a seat with words on the on it. The set I sat on was The Leader of the opposition  and the prime minister sat opposite me. William showed us all around Parliament and the historical things. The buildings are smartly joined by tunnels.

After Parliament we went to Te Papa museum. We split of into groups of three or more. My group was Blake, Charlie D and Charlie B. The first expedition was Blood, Earth and Fire. We thort it was the Earthquake room but we were wrong and the real Earthquake room was shut down. Then we moved to lots of other expedition but my favourite place was the  Gallipoli expedition. It was amazing because the soldiers looked so real. There was a gun and it was made higher with wood and the scope was mirrors reflecting.

On Tuesday we went to Weta Workshop and all the things there looked so real. Our tour guide was Ress and he was really funny. At the beginning he said “we’re not aloud to touch anything but because i’m naughty i'll let you touch some things” so we got to hold some guns and swords.  My favourite gun I held was the tommy gun because it felt so real and it looked really cool. Then we moved over to where Ress worked. His job is making chain armor. For fun he makes cool mask’s. Weta workshop also helped Te papa make there Gallipoli soldier.

The Secret of Te Papa

The Secret of Te Papa
Once upon a time a secret was kept in the historic Te Papa museum and no one knew until I came along. I’m Mikey, the new museum guard but not just any guard I’m a night guard. My first shift is tonight at 6.00 pm, I can’t wait. My mission is to find out the secret of the museum and I’m starting with the Egyptian expedition. You can’t hide from the museum because I’m Mikey the night guard. It hit 6.00 o'clock and I was ready to go. When I opened the door I was thinking in my head “there’s nothing to worry about it’s just a friendly museum don’t worry.”

I was walking around the Egyptian expedition when I saw some sort of glowing tablet. I turned around and then I saw 20 odd mummies walking around the expedition. Then, they saw me, so I rann!!! I ran all over the place until I found my way out but the whole museum was alive! I was freaking out. The
T-rex was destroying the place and it was like Soldiers were starting a whole new war but how will they clean it up? All I’m concerned is to find out how they came to live.

When I was in the Egyptian expedition, I’m pretty sure, I saw a mummie near the glowing tablet thing and even heard it. I didn't get near it because I was running away. When I am able to get through the mummies I will solve the case but how will I am able to get through the mummies? BANG! CRASH! BOOM! I’m through, now to find out how to stop the ruckus. I started to play around with the tablet. Then I stopped, I could hear nothing but walking and things going on shelves. I went out to look and everything was back to normal. I think, I Mikey, the night, guard, has done it again,  goodbye for now.

Reflective symmetry

It was fun creating reflective symmetry because it was a challenge. First I made a mistake by making my shapes wonky. I fixed it by photo copying the original copy in colour. Reflective symmetry is when you mirror a shape. The line of symmetry is the line between the shapes. I choose my shape because it was easy and it made a good reflection.

Imagine a Night reflection

It was fun writing imagine a night because I used descriptive words to make the story sound better. It was a challenge to choose the right words to make it flow better and put the sentences in the right order. When we finished the writing we shared it with room 3 as an  example.

Imagine a Night

Imagine a night when the Egyptian mummies come to life and chase you down.

Imagine a night when the giant t-rex destroys all the treasures the museum owns.

Imagine a night when it hit six o’clock and you were shoved into the mysteries museum.

Imagine a night when you suddenly hear a BANG! and you see about 13 soldiers were trying to shoot you down.

Imagine a night when when you had to risk your life for just to be a hero.

Imagine a night when mummies and soldiers we’re all trying to kill you but you just split throw them.

Ki-o-rahi

On Wednesday there was a year 5-6 Ki-o-rahi tournament at Gisborne intermediate. The five and sixes of Matawai school went to the tournament and it was so fun. My favourite part of the day was when I guarded the baral in the middle of the field with my friend. We also had some Rere kids in our team because we were low on numbers.

Today I worked on the Google Doc Ninja Challenge.

Today I earned the White and green belt.

I am aiming to get the black belt.

I found it hard to hyperlink.

I found it easy to Insert a table.

5 kid-friendly things to do in wellington:

Adrenalin forest.
Pirates  cove adventure golf.
Staglands wildlife Reserve and cafe.
My favourite activity is Footgolf because it is a good outside sport.

Te Papa Poem

We had to write a poem about the location we're going to in Wellington. It was fun writing a poem because I learnt new ways of to write poems and ways of describing it.

Looks like A big jagged mountain.
Smells like a lots of people.
Tastes like fun history.
Feels like smooth concrete.
Sounds like lots of people talking.

Reflection

I really enjoyed learning about Te Papa. it was interesting learn about all of the expeditions around the Te Papa museum. I found that there's a huge colossal squid and an amazing marae. It was also really fun learning all about the museum's history and how long it's been around War.

Adrenalin

Room four was given a job to get Adrenalin writing finished in one week. Adrenalin writing is when you hop into someone's body in your brain and write about how it would feel. It was fun learning a new type of  writing and learning a new skill in writing. Room four had to watch a video clip and then pretend they are in the person's body.

Exploring Caves

Room four was given a task to finish a visual poster in one week. My group Tane Mahuta had journal Exploring Caves level 26. My challenge was to get as much information as I can onto a doc. It was fun learning about the different caves and the environment they can form in.

Jamie Oliver

Miss Dods set room four a challenge to get two artist inquirys finished in four weeks. My challenge was to set my presentation in a different way both times. It was interesting learning about Jamie Oliver because he is unique and has got dyslexia. I enjoyed studying him because I needed as much information as possible.

Michael Jackson

It was very interesting studying Michael Jackson because he has had many plastic surgery's. He looks very different from when he was a boy. Michael Jackson was a amazing singer and dancer. I enjoyed learning about Michael Jackson because my teacher Miss Dods knows lots about him and I had to do loads of  cool questions.
