Waiwera

”Yes” I said as I woke up “My Birthday has finally arrived I wonder what we will do for it”. Just as I said that my mum comes in my room and says “hurry get up wake up your Uncle we’re going to Waiwera for your birthday” “Hooray” I shouted and went back to sleep. I soon later woke up and everyone was up so I stayed in bed and played Guitar Hero 3. My uncle soon woke up and played on his laptop “Happy Birthday Cruz” he said.

“Finally were leaving”I said. I was so jittery and jumpy that I couldn’t wait It was a long and tiring drive but it was worth the driving. “Can you get me a drink Cruza” asked my Uncle “Yep” As I reached over to get the drinks we started to listen to the prank calls my uncles friend did. We were all laughing like hyenas then as we came around the corner we saw a sign saying “Welcome to Waiwera” “Yeah” I shouted we have finally reached our destination.

As we finally came into Waiwera I didn’t know what to do so I got changed and instantly ran towards the slides but it was boring because there was only 3 slides There was the Speed slide which is Extremely fast if you put dish washing liquid down there is the Twister and Last but not least the Black Hole this slide is not my Favourite because it is a slide that makes you whack your head on side.

But for starters we were just kicking back in the The Movie Pool but the movie wasn’t on and didn’t come on too along time. So we went in to the slides and first went down the Black hole although I forgot that it was the slide that makes your head sore I still had a little bit of fun. Later on during the day my Uncles Mate Tama Ran off the side of the pool and did a Back flip bomb into the pool ‘BOOM’ Went the water “Wooow” Me and my uncle shouted.

“Man to day was mean as aye Cruz” said Tama on the way back to my house we were all tired and were nearly all asleep. “As soon as we get home I’m going to probably go to sleep” said my uncle “Wow that was a mean swim and i Probably have to go to sleep anyway” I replied to my uncle my other cousins were asleep so when we got home we all went to sleep as well. THE END

Race that never Ends

"What the" I thought to myself. the chairs were lined for Cross Country. That can only mean 1 thing Cross Country!!If I had known it was today, I would of brought my sick notice.

"I don't want to run" I said quietly. Nearly Every year, I come near the end. this is like a Nightmare on Elm Street

We sat in our two lines, and I was shocked to see people other than me shaking. My heart was pounding with fear.

As we were ready to take off, I remembered what Miss Garden had told us; to pace ourselves in the beginning, then run hard at the end. "Bang" went the clappers. Everyone blasted off.

I was jogging and right in front of me was my arch enemy Zues. He and I had been enemies for a long time.

We ran out of the school gates my heart pounded and my rival was coming 1st and I was coming 21st. So I started to spurt past some people now I was coming 11th and Zeus was still showing off, and before you can say me he trips and starts rolling on the field and he starts getting blitzed. I started to spurt past him. He didn't like losing to me so he started crying.

The last corner up feeling euphoric."One more corner" I said to myself running hard to the finish line "1st" someone said while I was enjoying my victory I woke to my little punching my head Cross Country "NO" my sister slapped my face and I got ready for School.

Perspectives

All of the students had a different perspective view of Mrs Tele'a as we were drawing our teacher it was a rough challenge. I think that since the Mighty Mariners such as Kupe,James Cook,Abel Tasman who all drew maps of different. While we were drawing our teacher we all were focused and concentrated on their work we all had different angles I was drawing the back which was probably the best angle.

Everyone that were drawing had different styles of drawing my friend Joshua is just sketching but he was on a computer so their is no point in sketching. And my friend Shawn style is muscular and my style is Anything.

Polynesian Magic

Polynesians from the east were the first to set foot on Aotearoa. They came on single outriggers or double hulls,which were 15-20 meters long. Once they had stepped on Aotearoa they were soon called Maoris.

Trained navigators steered the canoes because they knew to follow the birds in the day, and stars by night to find this new land. They had to travel through the pacific ocean. But only a few people survived the stormy weather and the battling seas, just to find the place as we know it as Aotearoa.

Tarawera Reflection

This term IN extension we have be studying the Mt Tarawera eruption that happened 100 years ago while we were progressing through this event this what I thought were Interesting Positive Minus (PMI)

Positive

1.Making the entire movie from scratch and detailing it

2.Acting as an old man and saying lines over and over again

3.Helping a to get the costumes ready for our recording

4.Putting on make up that was really funny

This year in Extension we have been studying the Tarawera Eruption that happened over a 100 years ago which caused the whole town of Wairoa to be abandon and alot of people died in the eruption. Also tons were homeless if they survived and only a little bit of people made it through this devastating eruption.This was all so sad.

Minus

1.Taking too long to get ready

2.Having to write the script from scratch like most people having too

3.When we did our Green Screen it didn't come out properly and we still have to use the same Green Screening we did.

When this disastrous event occurred all the people of Wairoa were never alerted that Mt Tarawera will erupt. It all happened on a starlit night no one was worrying about anything but there children and the food that was on the fire outside.

Interesting

1.Making the film with my friends

2.Doing a Green Screen but then it didn't come out properly

3.Setting out the scene and were we are going to record

All of this to me was really interesting we had the chance to do this fun activity and for letting us use all of the things that we could do and helping us when we were in tough spots.

Also Thanks to Mrs Tele'a for letting us experience this amazing Event.

Here is a bit of the task my group did (Seini-Mino,Me,Joshua) Hopefully you like it So sit back and relax!! PLEASE COMMENT!!

DZIAH 2.0

Did you know that when Dizah broke up they all made new groups such as Dziah 2.0 and the Funk Monkeys and they mad New T-shirts and now they face each other to see who's skills are better who do you vote for?

I vote for Dziah 2.0 because they have people that dress cool and flashy and they all have mean eyes. Before they use too have J Willams a famous singer but now they only have good dancers and no one famous anymore but they all have good talent but do they have what it takes to beat the on the only "JABBAWOKEEZ" and become one of the best dance crews in the world they are the on the only "DZIAH 2.0"

Scrumptious Hokey Pokey

A huge wonder of the world is making a tantalizing delicacies called Hokey Pokey.

Mmm……Fat food including Sugar dissolved in a instant including golden-syrup as it was heated in the pot. Baking Powder was added to the mixture, and a chemical reaction occurred. The Hokey Pokey started to froth up and expand at the same time it looked like Slimy viscous goo.

"PEEVE....." A fart effect wafted in the air as masses of Hokey Pokey bursted out of the frying pan. This experience was insane!!!!! It was as if the Hokey Pokey limited to be eaten and at the same time burst out of the frying pan.

We went to the kitchen, stunned as we were in for a phenomenal surprise. We clicked when, in just a flash we would create a wonderful food treat, that involved volcanic like equipment or other things to do with that. We made a long time favourite of mine, Hokey Pokey.

We waited for the Hokey Pokey to cool down. It was now a hard,brittle solid mass. All the gas bubbles caused porous.When it cooled down Mr Hunia had to transfer it too a saucepan or it would of been stuck to the bottom of the pot. It didn't look very nice when we were making it but once it had finished it would taste Delicious

Similar to lava, oozing hokey pokey can literally pot. 'WOW!!!!!!' Also it can become hard and brittle in just minutes.'AMAZING!!!!!' Hokey Pokey is scolding hot, which can probably melt a total human hand. That is scary but at the same time very very yuck but the sound of Hokey Pokey makes my tummy rumble.
