School garden boxes

Last week Andy,Adrian and Grant came out to build the garden boxes for our veggie garden. They are 3m by 1m and we think they are great. But we have a problem, but we don't have any top soil and we need it for the plants so they can grow.

Ryan's 100 word challenge

                                                           One Scary Night

The wind blew softly. But as the leaves rustled and the wind howled, a loud roar rattled the ground. All the kids let out a loud shriek of fear. The ground rattled, kids screaming"it's an earth quake!" All of the vast landscape started to crack. Trees, rocks repeatedly fell to the ground. The madness was over with relief. Birds resumed their chirping. Everyone acted like nothing had happened. I wondered of it was real?. I started to hear Ryan, Ryan. I awake from my deep slumber, I find out I was daydreaming and quite a scary one.

The Mystery Person

I crept through the forest with my dog Jack. He was a Jack Russell. He loved going for walks in the dark pine cone village of trees on our farm. It was a very nice day but there was some wind. "Woof woof," barked Jack. I couldn't see or hear anything. But as the leaves rustled, I could see something moving. Then Jack started moving towards it so I followed him. I could hear breathing. I also saw some black clothes behind the shrub. I tried pulling the bush away but it wouldn't move...

Boo!

Halloween night had finally arrived. Lyric was jumping for joy and Luka's teeth were chattering with fear. "Hey Luka we should go to the dark and mysterious house that everyone is afraid to go to!" exclaimed Lyric. Luka agreed. They walked up the stairs of the house. But as the leaves rustled, they heard a voice from inside. "Come in," it whispered. Lyric slowly opened the door.
"Boo!" shouted a voice from inside. Suddenly the girls started crying and they both agreed that they would never come back again.

Blonde, Little Stranger

As the sun rose, the crispy, autumn leaves settled on the ground, until another big gust of wind would blow them away again. Suddenly a blonde, little stranger named Sophie ambled by. Nearly home from her morning walk, and kicking the leaves in her pathway. "Come on mummy!" Sophie demanded. Just when the last and final pile of leaves were an arms reach away, she kicked. But as the leaves rustled she stopped. Her eyes glued to the leaves. For right in front of her, peeking out from the pile of leaves was a stray, black cat. It was meowing continuously from all the confusion. Carefully picking up the black cat, she took it home.

Awoken Storm

I was jogging home from school. I took a little break to catch my breath. Walking to the pohutukawa tree, I wanted to sit in the cool shade as the wind blew in my face. But as the leaves rustled and black clouds came over me I knew a storm was making its way over. Leaning next to the rusty bark while shivering cold, a thought struck me; I reached for my phone and dialed my mum's number and begged her to pick me up. "OK, I will come pick you up," she promised.
"Thanks I owe you one," I replied.

The Man

One summer day Zac was out for a walk in the park. He was walking his dog. There was no wind. But as the leaves rustled Zac knew that it was peculiar. He saw it move again then out jumped a man! He was holding a knife. Zac dodged it and jumped at the man. He punched, kicked and elbowed the man. Zac pulled his arm behind his back in an excruciating lock then asked the man, "What's you name?" He didn't tell Zac so he kicked him in the temple and knocked him cold.

Cardboard Challenge

We recently watched a video about Caine's Arcade, made out entirely of cardboard. That then inspired us to create our own creation with cardboard. We decided to create out very own hot it balloon. We used a Huggies nappy box, straws, glow in the dark string,  balloons, feathers for decoration and some more little knick-knacks.

Our cardboard challenge By Blake,Charlie and George

We had to create a game or something else that was mainly made out of cardboard. We were inspired by caines arcade and the egg car add. All of us got into groups of three and started making our things. We made our car out of egg cartons and cardboard wheels. We then put our driver Barry the egg in. Charlie and George started to make the grandstand full of nobody out of cardboard egg cartons for seats and a stick to hold it up. We thought of making a car but then we thought that would be to hard so then we saw the car safety ad and then we got the idea of making a car test arena.

Yesterday sammyo TJ and adam watched a video called Kane's arcade and we made a shooting range out of cars board #sammyo adamant TJ

TJ's antarctica question with the answer

Ava's question about Antartica.

In class when we were listening to our audio conference we had to write a question down at the end that we would like to find out now. Miss Phillips said answer your question from today or yesterday. I answered my question from yesterday. My question was, why are icebergs fresh water not sea water and my answer was, when the water freezes it frezzes slowly. Slowly enough to not trap the salt in the iceberg.
