By Izaak

After hearing Rindercella (a previous post,) I had the idea to make one myself! This is my attempt...

Boldylocks was a pery vetty girl, every day Boldylocks walked into the woods to fick powers out for her movly lover, today whe talked even turther fhen normal. She seemed to become hired and tungry. She walked lo song into the woods she found a cattly rottage, she docked on the noor, no answer so she opened dhe toor. Three bowls were set on the table, a mig bowl, bedium bowl and a small bowl full of hot beet-wix. It was so tempting, so she tried the mig bowl of beet-wix but it was hoo tot, she tried the bedium bowl but it was coo told, she tried the small bowl and it was rust jight! Now all she needed is something to sit on, she looked around there were shree teats, a mig seat, a bedum seat and a small seat, Boldylocks tried the mig seat but it was hoo tard, she tried the bedium seat but it was soo toft, she tried the small seat and it was just right, not hoo tard and not soo toft, it was rust jight, she Ate ALL the small bowl of beet-wix, she felt very sleepy after filling her hunger, she walked up the stairs to find three beds, one mig, one bedium and one small, she tried the mig one, it was hoo tard, she tried the bedium one, it was soo toft, she tried the small one and it was perfect!.. "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"... GRRRRRRR, Boldylocks quickly sat up, to find there were three bears at her presents, you have destroyed our breakfast and yose our chairs and you've blept in our seds! Now you have to die! CRUNCH!

If you ever wo gandering into the woods, never go into a catlly rottage.

My story about Cristiano Ronaldo.

In 1985 the extraodinary Cristiano Ronaldo was born and amazed the world with his crazy football talent. He has motivated people like me to to play football.

Maybe people hate him because he is too good. Or maybe they're just jealous that they can't be as good as him. He lived in a small house that overlooked the sea. But there was no field in sight, so he just played with a bunch of people on the road. Summers, Springs and Winters went by but did you think that winter would stop him? Definitely not. He just practised and practised till he was given the honor to play for Manchester United. Soon after, when his talent spread over the world, Real Madrid and Portugal signed him for 90 million pounds. 
He is also very brave because when he was 14-15 he was staying with his team in a hotel but a thief took some stuff but while the team was shouting and running Cristiano Ronaldo ran after the thief and tried to stop him. If any you have not seen tested to the limit on youtube by cr7 you better check it out because it shows you how fast he is , his skill on the ball and his ability to know where the ball is in the dark and many more amazing stuff about him.

So why don't you check him out on youtube and I can put money on it that you will change your mind to play football and like him as your idol like me.

camp 2014

Whenua Iti Camp

On the first day of camp everyone went to Kaiteriteri. Once we got to the beach we were fitted with a life jacket and put into three groups. My group was group A, our group was called team A for epic (Because we're great spellers).  Our instructor was called H the other instructors names were Johnny,Dougal and Charlie. 

The first activity we did was raft building, we built the raft then carried it down to the water. Everyone had to get onto the raft in the water and it around. Then after we took the raft apart we rolled down the beach to the water in the inner tube.

After raft building team A did some survival swimming. We had to swim around H in a heavy fleece jumper it was really hard. Then We had to get into one of two huddles and float, it was FREEZING.

Our last activity was kayaking, before we got into a kayak we had to practice paddling. Then we got a kayak and carried it to the water. We got into the kayaks and paddled out. We played a game of man hunt and Dougal fell into the water. Then we lined up in the kayaks and some of us had to stand up in them and run to the opposite end of the line. Gus and Shaylen jumped into the water and Shaylen couldn't get back up onto the kayak.

After that our group went up to the caving hut on top of Ta hill. And that was what we did on the first day of camp.

THE BEAN BAG kids!!!!!!!!!

Once there was a class room that was a nice and peaceful classroom. Unless you get between them and their bean bags. If you go in during the night then you'll see they put on a big fight! When you see them in the day then you will see them shouting hooray. They will never be mean and will never swear but when it comes to bean bags you better beware. Good kids with good thoughts in their head but when there's bean bags they'll never go to bed. Well now you know the story and now you can tell with great glory.

Thanks for reading.

I heard a whisper but no one was there…

Once upon a time in a little village there was a little girl called Abigail who lived with her

annoying little sister Christy and her dad George and mum Jemima. Abigail was a skinny little girl with emerald green eyes, blonde hair and had a boyfriend at school called Leo but she was too afraid to ask him out. Christy, however, was a round blobby girl with afro-like hair with streaks of gump in it.

One day when they came home from school, of course Christy was in the car and Abigail had to always walk home because Christy  would trick her mum and would say “Mum! Abigail is too skinny to go in the car which is totally unfair for two reasons. One, Christy tricked Abergail into becoming skinny and two if for anything, Christy cannot fit in the car because she is too fat.

One day when Abigail was walking home, she tripped on a piece of paper. It was a secret code written in pictures but was very munted so she couldn’t make out the pictures. She got back up and went and kept walking home. When the door opened, Christy did her little inspection with an x ray scanner to make sure she doesn’t have anything or eaten anything. When she saw the bit of paper in her bag, she said “give it over right now or I will whack you in the head with my plastic Jackhammer.”

Abigail said, “what piece of paper?” then Christy said “the one you are hiding in your bag”.

Abigail let her check inside of her bag but when she got to right place where she saw it on the x ray scanner it had magically disappeared. Abigail ran straight down to her room above the basement and was looking at the paper very confused. Then she heard a whisper. “We've got him now haven’t we? We’re just going to get your family and get out of here’ and then she heard an evil laugh. In an instant, a hatch POPPED up and a three eyed knight with shiny armour and a gigantic sword said “ I am the great mighty Cript King. Hand that piece of paper over or you know what's going to happen”. He mysteriously looked over at his sword and then a red little demon came out and said “what he means miss is that he is going to swipe his sword right over your head.”

Christy had heard all of the commotion and rushed, well waddled, to see what the commotion was about. When she saw Cript King, the battle was on. Christy with her cardboard armour set and plastic Jackhammer versus a three eyed knight made out of obsidian and had a iron tin sword. Cript King opened his mouth and a blizzard of ghost bees buzzed in the direction of Abigail. Christy smashed the bees with one big whack and they went flying into Cript King. No soon had she done that, Cript King got BIGGER. Christy said “oh dear!”. Abigail had run up to the place still holding the piece of paper and thought for a second ‘ghosts, ghosts, ghosts’. She thought if she poured a bucket of water on his head and threw ice cubes at him that he would freeze. So she filled up a bucket, got the ice cubes from the freezer and ran back down. Christy’s cardboard armour had almost deteriorated with his flamethrower breathe. Abigail quickly threw the bucket of water at Cript King and then threw the ice cubes. As she imagined, he froze and all that was left was his mouth and a little ghost genie popped out and said “three wishes’.

Abigail wished for more food, that her boyfriend would ask her out and that Christy would stop being mean to her. A little black ghost genie spun around in circles, took his Cript King armour and melted it into her wishes in the air and then vanished with the little red demon.

The next day, she went to school and Christy was really cool, made her pancakes. Her boyfriend and her got married and they lived happily ever after!

Spoonerisims- Rinderceller

 Friday 14 November
 Mrs McKenzie (Miss McKenzie's mum,) came in and told room 12 and 13 a hilarious spoonerisim- Rindercella, and this is how it went...

Once upon a time, in a coreign fountry, there lived a very geautiful birl; her name was Rindercella. Now, Rindercella lived with her mugly other and her two sad bisters. And in that same coreign fountry, there lived a very prandsom hince.

One day, the prandsom hince decided to have a bancy fall. He invited people from riles amound, especially the pich reople. But Rindercella could not go because all she had to wear were some old rirty dags. So she just cat sown and cried. She was a kitten there a scrien, when all of a sudden her gairy fodmother appeared. And she waved her wagic mand...and all of a sudden there appeared before her, a cig boach and hix white sorces to take her to the bancy fall. But now she said to Rindercella, "Rindercella, you must be home before nidmight, or I'll purn you into a tumpkin!"
So Rindercella went to the bancy fall, where she met the very prandsom hince, who she had been watchin through a widden hindow. She and the prandsom hince nanced all dight till nidmight...and they lell in fove. Suddenly, the mid clock struck night; Rindercella staced down the rairs, and just she beached the rottom, she slopped her dripper!
The next day, the prandsom hince went all over the coreign fountry looking for the geautiful birl who had slopped her dripper. He came to Rindercella's house. He tried it on Rendercella's mugly other...and it fidn't dit. He tried it on her two sigly usters...and it fidn't dit. He tried it on Rindercella...and it fid dit, it was exactly the sight rize!
The next day, Rindercella and the prandsom hince were married and they lived everly hafter happward.
Now, the moral of the story is this: If you ever loll in fove with a prandsom hince, be sure and slop your dripper!

There once was a little unicorn called Clover Sparkle Cheese, he had a little Muffin friend called Snow Bell. They were best friends because they both had a lot of things in common, the one thing they both loved the most was cinnamon pancakes.

Every Time Bob sees Snowy he tries to eat her but luckily Clover is there to try and defend her, but this time Bob walk straight past without even noticing Snowy. Bob went and ordered his spicy spinach balls and sat down at a greasy table. But then he got up and walked towards them.’Why aren't you trying to eat Snowy, like you always do?’ Asked Clover. ‘Because i've changed for the good, and now I see he is just an ugly cupcake and I am full of spicy spinach balls said Bob. ‘Just an ugly cupcake!’Said Snowy. ‘Do you remember the time when we were getting cinnamon slice when Bob came in and saw you and thought you were a muffin for sale.’Said Clover. ‘I do to. I remember that Bob came in and he thought that I was inside of the muffin case and he bought me. So they flabby man that works at ‘Mini Shop’ pulled me out of the muffin case put me on a bright silver plate and put me in the microwave. And the flabby man turned me into a melted (on the inside) muffin so i turned into a lava muffin. I felt terrible and had to go to the Muffin Hospital, I spent 5 days in muffin hospital. They made me into a Lava Muffin.’ ‘A lava muffin oh my muffin pants  come over here and let me eat you and ill leave no crumbs!’ Said Bob. ‘Im good thanks bye weirdo.’ So Snowy and Clover shoved Bob out of the way and walked out of ‘Mini Shop’ without Snowy being eaten by A big fat purple Ogre.

Science with room 13.

At the moment in class, we have been doing science with room 13. We started about 2 weeks ago, doing some hands on science activities.
We were put into 7 groups with 5 or 6 people, and we rotated around the two classes to different activities.
One that I personally liked, and I'm pretty sure most other kids liked it, was making sherbet. We had to mix ingredients together and record the different things that was happening to it, and then we got to eat it! Yum!!!
Another one was making ice cream! But it wasn't very nice according to most people, just ice and salt mixed. Blah!

This week we also got to do more science activities. This time we were put into groups again but we didn't do hands on work we just went around each station and learned about matter, how things form like mould, rust etc then we had to record what we learned. Science has been really fun, for everyone and I hope we get to do it again soon.
