Creepy, Crawly, Assembly

Immersion assemblies are the best because they are funny and we get to see the teachers dressed up to tell us the theme of the term.

Hearing a hissing sound, I gazed around me to see who that was crawling up on the stage. I saw Mr. Burt in a huge mosquito costume. I thought he suited it!

When team 1 and 2 finished, it was team 3's turn. They had a name for their performance and it was called New Zealand's Next Top Bug. it was funny because when my teacher, Mrs. Barks, finished her speech, her husband shouted out...I love you!

Team 4 was a hive of bees It was funny because the only boy teacher was the queen bee and the girl teachers were slaves. They had to dance and wait for Mr Barks to give birth to a baby bee, and then another, and finally...twins!

I had a feeling that it was going to be an interesting term!

Invention of Boats

A long time ago, villagers invented boats. They put their heads together and decided to make a raft.

They grabbed some logs and rope. Then they lined up the logs and tied the ropes around the middle and the two ends. They called it the raft, but they realized that the raft wasn't good enough so they invented a bark canoe.

The people ripped off thick pieces of bark and shaped it into a canoe and that's how it got the name bark canoe.

Digging Up Loot

Commanding the men to bury the forbidden loot, he realized that he needed to locate his ships. While the men were burying the loot, the captain was busy building a raft to find his ships. He took some men with him and after all their hard work, they eventually found the ship. Digging up the loot, they carried it on board.

Mysterious Parchment

Along the golden, sandy beach, a boy was walking his dog when he discovered a leather wallet peeking out of the sand. Anxiously opening the wallet, he found two pieces of folded parchment.

Ashlee's Weekend at the Hot Springs

On Saturday the 27th of January, we went to Waingaro Hot Springs in Ngawahia. We didn't know where to go but my Aunty Lola asked at the gas station so that she'd know where to go. We were doing a tail. We were at the back of the tail but then afters my Aunt knew where to go we moved to the front of the tail. When we got there, I felt like I just wanted to jump in the pool. The Hydra slide wasn't open yet. All of the pools were hot and sort of warm. The under 5 year old pool was the hottest out of all the pools. I kept on bombing in the shallow side but it was sort of boring so I went to the deep side of the pool and did a bomb with my Aunty Lola. After that the hydra slide called "Big Splash" was finally open. I went on it 5 times and I scared nearly my whole family when I came down. The little slide kept giving me wedgies. I wish my family would have booked our caravan for more days so that we could keep on swimming in the pools every morning.
