Week 1: Rugby Superstars

If I had superpowers for a day they would be:

1. Super speed - I would have this because I like running and would love to be super fast. What I would do with super speed is get all my jobs done super fast and then I would run up and down Spencer Park Beach really fast and pick up all the rubbish!

2. Invisibility - I would have this because I could get away with so much. What I would do with it is sneak into NASA and have a look at the space shuttles. I would also do a lot of good deeds and no one would know it was me.

3. Super smarts - I would love this because I find maths a little bit hard. I would get all my maths done super fast and then I would find a cure for the measles outbreak in Samoa.

My favourite superhero is Spiderman. Who is yours?

Week 1: Miracle on the Hudson

So...... one time that I didn't' give up and was brave to keep trying was when one summer went to a pool in Timaru. There was a very hard obstacle course thing in the main pool. The first obstacle was a rope swing. I had never done one before so it was very hard. The rope was a bit wet and it was hard to pull myself up. I didn't think I was strong enough. I kept trying but I still couldn't do it and that meant that I couldn't do the rest of the inflatable. Lots of people tried to help me but I just couldn't do it!! When we left the pool I felt sad because I couldn't do it!
Then the next year we came back and the same inflatable was there. I was thinking to myself "I'm going to do it!!" I lined up with the other kids and tried a couple of times but I still couldn't do it. Then I tried one more time. I tried to get a really good swing. I pulled up my legs and managed to get my legs around the inflatable pole on the other side. I pushed myself off and pulled myself up. I was very excited that I could do it. I had found the technique that helped me be successful.
When we went home that day I felt proud that I had kept trying and was resilient.
I know this isn't as brave as landing a plane on the Hudson River but it was still pretty cool though!
What is something that you have had to try lots of times to be successful at? Thank goodness that Sully was successful first time!!

Week 1: Setting Sail

Today I am going to go sailing. I am going to be sailing for 3 weeks! This is the food that I am going to be packing to go sailing and why I would take them:

1. Marmite - Marmite is my favourite spread. It comes from New Zealand and I am proud of that.
2. Bread - I love sandwiches - especially Marmite ones.
3. Apples - They are good for you and give you energy.
4. Wine Gums - Just because they are delicious.
5. Pre cooked steak - Good for me and I could also have streak sandwiches.
6. Cereal - Milo Cereal - yummy breakfast.
7. Milk - for my cereal. I would tie it to the back of the canoe and drag it in the water to keep it cold.
8. Chips - Ready Salted - Yummy and good to share. I had better take a rubbish bag too.
9. Peas and Carrots - Because Mum said I should eat vegetables.
10. A Coke - To celebrate the last day.
11. Dog food - cause I want to bring my dog Jack - Jokes!!

If you went sailing what 10 foods would you take? I think I would get homesick... would you?

Korfball and lawnball

On week 4 of Team 4 we played a game of korfball. The instructor told us the rules then we played one game. It was so hot out there I felt like I was in a oven. We did not score a point threw out the entire game.

On Team 4 of week 5 I played a game of lawnball. First we had to get our ball's in a hoop I only got my ball in two times.  Then we did some activates and we did them with one person and I did it with Harry. my Favourite one was the one where you had to get your ball in a hole I got my ball in 50 and 100. Then we the hoop thing again but we were with three people and there were three hoop in a strait line.

What game would you like to play?

Tumu's trip to Ferrymead

On week 3 of term 4 we had a field trip to Ferrymead. When we got there we put some old time clothes on over our school uniform. We all sat in a hall and one group got to eat and my group had to pick a bag and answer a question and we could get a chocolate frog or a ruler. Then we got to eat. I ate animal biscuits and pineapple lumps.
Then we went a old move theatre. We watched an old movie about baking. It was very funny and I saw the guy who played it for us was hiding in a place with a slot in it and when I saw it it gave me a little jump.
After this we had a look in a food shop and we couldn't go in it so we were behind a piece of glass. Then we had a little play in the playground. I like climbing up the old wheel type things.
After our play we did a little role play in the old school. We wrote "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" and when the teacher came to see my work I thought I was in trouble but I wasn't. He said "you actually concentrated" then I went and washed the ink off my hands in the bathroom. Because we used an ink pen instead of normal pens.
Then we had a look in a house and a prison and we had lunch afterwards. Finally we had a look in some other places and then we went on a tram ride.
Then we took off our costumes and we got our bags and got back on the bus back to school. It was a really fun day and I really liked it especially the movie theatre.
Have you been to Ferrymead before?
