Kiwi - Week 8

Kiwis are the national bird of NZ. 

Kiwi predators are cats, dogs, tigers, possums, Kea and big birds. 

If you want to see a kiwi, go to the aquarium or go to Mount Bruce,  there you can see them. 

When kiwis are born, some are moved, if they are endangered they are moved to Mount Bruce and the people there look after them until they are more smarter.   The people there let them go and they stay at Mount Bruce.

                                                                            Brown Kiwi.

                                                                                     

White kiwi.

Area - Week 6

Area is how many square units are inside a shape.

People use Area to measure land, doors, rugs and how big a pool is. 

If you don't know how to use Area you make a square or a rectangule, but I would stick with a square because it is the most easiest sharp to work with.  So when you make your square  you can count it or skip count, and after that you add them up using timetables...and there you go, you know how to do area.

Here is an e.g.
You have a square and it has six columns and four rows, so six times four = 24.

                                             

                                                                                             






Columns down
                                                                         

Rows across.  

                                           

                                                                                               

                                                                                     

                                                                   

Writing - Week 3

Rumpelstiltskin

Along time ago, there was a Miller. He was a very boastful man and he had a daughter. 
The next day the Miller was delivering flour to the castle hill and he was boasting like usual to the chamberlain. Then the king over heard it and he said to the chamberlain tomorrow you will go to the mill.  
The next day the miller's daughter saw the king's men coming to the mill. 
"Oh father, what did you say now?" said the daughter.
The miller forgot what he said. The chamberlain said the king wishes for your daughter to go to the castle and make gold out of straw. The miller's daughter grabbed some clothes and she went with the men to the king.

"I have heard that you can turn straw into gold" said the king.  
"I know that my father has been boastful and saying a bit of nonsense," said the daughter. 

"I heard it with my own ears," said the chamberlain. 
Then the chamberlain led the girl to a room full of straw.  The girl was working

all night trying to turn the straw into gold but not a speck of gold showed.

Then at that very second a strange little man appeared in the castle,  she didn't hear anyone come in.  
Do you need any help? 
No one can help me, the king wants me to turn all of this straw into gold. 
Don't worry, I'll do it for you, just go to sleep and don’t worry. 
A little while later the little man woke the girl up and she couldn't believe her eyes. 
What will you pay me? 
The only thing I have is my necklace, and in a flash he grabbed the necklace and he disappeared and she didn't even get to thank him. In the morning the king couldn't believe his eyes. 
You do have a remarkable gift, so the king spent the entire day with the

girl. He thought she was very beautiful and that was not a lie.
The next night the king did another test, the chamberlain took the girl to another room filled with even more straw. A little while later the little man appeared. Should I do the same thing again, its so much fun.
Yes please.
So she went to sleep and the little man woke her up, the job is done.
What will you give me?
A golden ring
And again the little man took the ring and disappeared. The king came in.
Remarkable! So the king spent the entire day with her again. We will do a third test on her and if she suceeds I will let her go.
So the chamberlain led her to the biggest room of all. It was filled top to bottom, when the chamberlain left, she waited until midnight until the little man came.
Do you want me to do the same thing?
Yes said the girl.
So she went to sleep and the little man woke her up, its dawn.

What will you give me?
I have nothing left, nothing for all this work. 
Please, the king promised to let me go. 
Fine, but I want your first born baby when you are queen.
Yes she said, cause she thought that she would never be queen.
So the little man left and the king came in.  
He was amazed, he was so amazed that he asked her to marry him. She thought about the promise but she couldn't say no. So the wedding commenced a year later. The queen had a baby and she had long blonde hair like the queen.
One day when the queen and the baby walked along, the little man appeared.
I'm here to collect my payment.
No you can't take my baby.
But you promised.
Please, no, you can have anything, but not my baby.
Very well, if you can guess my name you can keep your baby. I will give you 3 days.
So the queen called her messengers. Go to the furtherest part of the kingdom and find the weirdest name and report back. So the messengers went left and right and came back.

The next day the little man arrrives.

Have you guessed my name?
Is it Smelly or Heremiclery or Smaleyinkey?

No! No! No! You have two days left now.

So the messengers went back but they had no luck, so the little man came.

Have you guessed?

Is it Jumpey or Cokow or Winy.

No! No! No! You have one day left.
Then two of the messengers came back, we saw a strange little man dancing around a fire singing.
Tomorrow the queen baby will be mine cause she will never guess my name, Rumplestiltskin is my name. Thank the lord of the sun.

So on the last day the little man arrived.

Have you guessed my name?

Is is Tom or Ruby or could it be Rumplestiltskin?

Some told you!

No one told me.

So the little man disappeared and they lived happily ever after.

My Swimming Reflection

I learned how to…swim a length without stopping.  

Something I found challenging was…diving properly.

At the end of the year I would like to improve on…my kicking.  

Mrs Miller, Mr Kenny or Mrs Lowe could help me by…I would of liked Mrs Lowe to teach me how to roll on my back and front.

The best part about swimming was…floating on my back.

Ormie the Crazy Pig

This is my story of Ormie the pig. I am writing the end of the story.

Ormie is just about to jump out of a plane that is a 1000 stories high.  He does the jump and lands face flat on the ground, he was so angry that he kicked the fridge and it fell flat on his back and arms, then the cookie jar fall down right by his nose. Then he tried to lift the fridge but he didn't, so he called a friend to lift the fridge off him, but it was so heavy that he went and got a crane to lift the fridge.

And it worked. 
But Ormie was furious about not getting the cookies. So he tried to use an axe to slice the fridge in half for the cookies to fall and smash. But instead half landed on Ormie, then he opened the other half of the fridge to get out. The he tried to use a candid but it didn't work and he never got the cookies.

Night Wing

My superheroes name is Night Wing.  My super hero lives in a deep dark cave beneath the city.  The way he goes is through the subway and under the train tracks to his deep dark cave.

 

His armour is as black as the night, also his clothes are as sharp as a blade.  He can crawl like a beetle and blend in with the night.  Night Wing is a boy, his eyes are silver.  He has claws on the back of his back.  Also he can shoot red hot balls of energy to any one that bothers him.  His skin is as red as his energy balls boiling.  Also he has rocket booots that make him fly at night.
