Pet Day

 Kia Ora 

On Friday last week my School had Pet Day. I have to pet lambs mine is called Daffodil and Emily's lamb is called Star. They are not very cute now the are about one and a half months old. I did not get to bring them to pet day because we did not have the traylor to put them in. My challenge was to carry my friend Paige's cat with her in the pet parade. Paige's cat was called Darcy. I do have a cat but he would hat it. My cat Sylvester is a very fat cat. All the people that have seen him say that he is the fattest cat they have ever seen. Sorry back to pet day. There is a Machinery company across the road from my school. They are called NorWood. NorWood is very nice because they donate some money to us every month. So they came over to our school with one huge tractor. My dad would've loved to have it.  What pets do you have a home?  Have a look at the photos from pet day below. See you soon bye 

New Holes Book

 Kia ra 

A few days ago my class started to read Holes by Louis Sachar. I really enjoy  reading the book. You should read it. It is amazing. We had to copy the questions from the site that my awesome teacher made for us. The site contains the videos the questions plus the vocabulary. I found that my challenge was to remember what the answers were to the questions. I made my challenge a lot easier because I concentrated on the reading more. Did you really enjoy a book that you read?   Have a look at my letter to my mum. This is from the main character writing to his mum about his time a Camp Green Lake.   to See you soon   

Dear/Hi  Mum 

I have had my first day at camp green lake andI do not fell very safe. There are other boys like me who have been here for a lot longer than i have. We all have nicknames one kid is called upright mine is Caveman. I did not get to choose my nickname and I do not like my nickname.  In the day we have to dig a five feet deep hole and a five feet wide hole. If we find something interesting at the end of the day the water truck comes to see if we have found any thing interesting. If he likes what we have found we get the rest of the day off. We get pretty bad food for diner and breakfast. If i ran away I would not survive because camp green lake is the only place for miles that has water.  I want you to come and pike me up because it is not very nice out hear and I feel like I might be staying hear for longer. love you from Stanly 

                                                                                

Softball

Kia Ora  

On a Monday my class would always go to softball practice. Our coach is called Strings. That is not her real name we call her that because we don't remember her real name. Last Monday my class was doing were you got to have to hits with the bat. On your third hit you had to put down that bat not throw it but put it on the ground and run to get a home run. On my first hit I got it very far. On my second hit it was even better than the last one. On my third I did not do very well. I barely hit the ball it was still very close to the base. After that I ran around to all three other basses and I managed to get a home run. I felt very proud of myself for getting a home run because I have never played softball.  Before all that we got to do some catches with a buddy. My buddy was Zara. All the gloves were very big and there was only one very small glove. I did not need it my glove was alright. I found that it was very hard.  Have you played softball before? See you soon. 

Athletics Day

 Kia Ora 

Last week On friday my school had our athletics day. We have athletics day every year. Last year I got 85 centimeters from the ground. I got 97 centimeters of the ground this year. I got first that year I felt it in my bones that this year I would try even harder to get higher. That Is what I did i was so pleased with myself my legs were shaking with fear. My heart was pounding 10 times faster that it has ever gone before. Do you do athletics at your school? If you have got in a place on any activity tell me about it I will love to hear your story. I am a year five and when you are a year five you go to athletics zones. You go there if you have get in 1st 2nd or 3rd. I got in 1st in six activities so I am going to go to athletics zones with my friend Paige. She got through in her sprints. I am very proud of her because she was doubting herself and I new she would do well and I cheered her on. Paige really helped me get my courage. I am very pleased with myself that I made it into the zones. See you soon. Stella
