Worst mistake I have ever done

My worst mistake

The worst mistake I have ever done was when I was playing netball with my friends and then I accidently missed the ball and then I tried to run and grab the ball but my fingers slipped off it and then the ball went over the fence.

So then we went over to the to our neighbors and then the ball went through the window and then I, went to go and grab it but the man was standing there with the ball. I thought he was going to yell at us because he looked sad but angry at the same time so we didn't know what to do me and my friends were so scared and afraid that we was going to yell at us for breaking his widow .

But all he said was to “ i'm disappointed that you broke my window! ” “ But I need some work done around here so can you clean it up and that will be the replacement of my new window.

After that day when we were done my mum came out but the man kept his promise to us that if we did a little bit extra then he wouldn't tell my mum.So that was the worst mistake I've ever done.

So from now on I make sure that I can reach the ball or that we do not play with balls around the window. Even though we broke something we still had fun even though we were cleaning up.

My Food Explanation

Hangi

My family and I celebrate Maori language week, because my family is Maori. Every year, some of my family from all of the country come to my house a night before and then we go into the sitting room and sleep there until tomorrow. When we wake up we have our breakfast.

For our breakfast we have sometimes pancakes or waffles. My cousins and I have to say the maori prayer called a karakia before we eat on the day that Maori language week starts. After breakfast we go outside for a walk, and then have lunch at Nan’s house.

For our lunch out at my Nan’s house we have a hangi. My uncles have to wake up super early to get to my Nan’s and get everything sorted out, like digging the big hole and getting the stones ready, and the food from the shed, and the freezer were my poppa stores them until that day. With the hangi we have:

- kumura

- potatoes

- pumpkin

- rosemary

- carrots

For dinner we have pork roast and chicken, mixed with some watercress, and some silverbeet, pumpkin, potatoes, kumara, and some carrots. We again have to say a karakia before we eat our dinner.

After dinner we have some pudding but while my Nan cooks the pudding.  My family and I go down to the beach,  and have a quick swim or we just play at the playground while she cooks it. My Nan always makes her favourite apple crumble with cream. My family like to have snacks, after we have finished our day off.

I like Maori language week because I get to see my family. My favourite part about it is the desert because my Nan makes the best apple crumble in the world and the next one to get the recipe is me!

My favorite movie

  

Have you wondered where chocolate comes from? Well if you have seen this movie you will know. I got into this movie because I like how the graphics are made and the chocolate fountain how it flows through the streams and rivers everywhere they go.

The characters names are Willy Wonka, Veruca Salt, Grandpa, Joe Arthur Slugworth, Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregard Mike Teavee, Mrs. Bucket, Mr. Turkentine, Mr. Salt and Charlie Bucket. This movie is about a boy who loves chocolate and him and his grandfather go on a trip to go to the Chocolate Factory and try to win the competition.  The competition is if you last the longest in the factory then you get to win a big prize.

But in the end there can only be one person left. Can you guess who wins? Well it’s…  a mystery and that’s why I like this movie because it tells you a story and it leaves you a mystery at the end.

Code.org/learn

Today at tech we went onto a website at code.org/learn. We played a game which made us learn how to programme using code and also we made a prezi about how to play the game. I really enjoyed it I wish we could do more

Netball Explanation

Netball

Do you know how to play netball?  All you need to know is the positions, how to play the positions and the rules about how to play netball. First of all you will need to know about the positions.

The positions in netball are  kind of  hard. You  have to remember where to stand, where to run, where you're not allowed to step or run with the ball. The positions are C, WD, WA, GD, GA, GK and finally GS. The C stands for center, WD stands for wing defence, WA stands for wing attack, GD stands for goal defence, GA stands for goal attack, GK stands for goal keep and last but not least is GS stands for goal shoot. All of these positions are played on the court and have tactics to play the positions.

The netball court is divided into thirds. The GS stands at the shooting third and the GK stand at the defending third. They are only allowed in there own third. GA, GD, WA, and WD are allowed in two thirds. The GA and GD are allowed in the shooting third and the center third. The WA and WD are allowed in the defending third and the center third. Next is C (center), they are allowed all over the court, but not in the shooting semicircle and the defending semicircle. GA and GS are the only ones that are allowed to shoot for their team. GK and GD are the only ones that are allowed in the defending circle, but WD and WA have to try and get the ball down to their shooting side. In your team you have to have a really good GS because when they shoot you will get a lot points.

The rules are an important things to remember you have make sure your fingernails aren’t allowed to be over your fingertips they have to be no more than 1 mm long. You also aren’t allowed to wear jewellery while playing, you can’t run/walk with the ball, you must be at least 3 feet away from your opponents when they have the ball, and you can’t hit the ball out of your opponents hands when they have it.  You aren’t allowed to go over your boundaries, and you can’t bounce the ball while chasing after it. You would need to follow these rules, if you want to play netball professionally.

I hope you have learnt something about netball. Now you know the positions and how to play your positions and last of all you know the rules. So when you play you know everything about it, and maybe you would end up playing for the silver ferns.

If It were only yesterday

I remember as if it were yesterday

My Nan always used to say that phrase “I remember as if were yesterday.” She used to say that whenever something triggers an old memory and every times she says it she tells me her stories and where they took place. My Nan loved that saying, she would say it while looking out into the meadow. Sometimes she would only say it in her sleep but not anymore. My Nan who always said that has passed, but on her gravestone says “I remember as if it were yesterday”.  

The Beach

The beach

 

Linda and Chloe wandered around the beach they saw large shells and small shells. Big slimy seaweed was washed up on the sand. The sand was such a bright yellow it looked like the sun was on the ground.

Shaylah - Papakura netball courts

Papakura Netball Courts

In the holidays I went to the Papakura netball courts.  They have been in Papakura for a very long time now and every time I go there I go see my Aunty at her house just down the road from the netball courts.

I love to go to my Aunties family every fortnight and I go to watch my cousin Maria play netball every Saturday. When she plays she has to do some drills some are called in and out and patten ball.

My favourite bit is watching her playing netball with her friends because she gets time away from her parents and I can learn some skills off her and show them on the court when I play. Her team is a very strong team, they learn their positions and they throw the ball accurately and fast to each other.

They also do great exercise like running around 5 courts every time they drop the ball, then they do high knees up and down the courts. Their exercising is very hard, they do lots and lots of training and the one I mostly like is open the door. It stretches your calf muscles and it helps you pivot on the courts

I like going to the courts because when I was young and before my Poppa passed away I used to go to the netball courts with him and my cousin and I would do some drills. If we weren't tired we would play a little game, then we would have something to eat and that’s why it’s my special place.

Shaylah - Pretty

Pretty

She told us never to use the                                          

word PRETTY   

She said she didn’t like it  

and it meant nothing to her

She said try other words like…

cool, fun, beautiful

and awesome.

But never, ever use the word PRETTY because it doesn't mean a thing.  

shaylah - Holiday reading report

Holiday reading report

During the holidays we had a task set for us, we had to read 3 novels and do an activity on them.

I read the book Panicular Pumpkin Thief. This book is set in New Mouse City and I wanted to dress up as one of the characters in the story. So I dressed up as Hercules for my activity because he had a very hard part in the story.

I didn't get to post any of the photos on line because I had no internet at my house so I didn't get to put them up.  I read 6 novels and they were Panicular Pumpkin Thief , Save The White Whale, Runaway Princess,  Trip To Niagara Falls, Run Chicken Run, and 50 Meter Tree House.

I think doing this reading activity was really fun and I had fun doing the activity because I got to go to lots of places and do the photos with my sister. My family helped me do the props , after all of that we went out and tried to make some of the stuff they made but it was to hard I still had fun making a big mess in the kitchen with my mum though.  I think this is the most coolest holidays I've ever had.   

weekly rubbish

Room 6 Weekly Rubbish

Over the week Room 6 have been doing a check on how much rubbish we bring to school each day. We have been doing this activity for 5 days. The Chippie Packets are not good to bring to school as they are not biodegradable. Fruit and naked food are biodegradable because, they can break down. I think that checking how much rubbish we bring to school each day was a good idea because, the more rubbish we bring to school the more rubbish gets buried in our landfill.

i am the sea

I am a sea

I am sea waiting to be splashed at by someone.

I am the sea watching everyone having a wonderful time in the ocean.

I am the sea waiting for someone to come in the water with me.

I am the sea waiting for my next prey like a cheetah watching an antelope close and carefully.

I am the sea watching over you to see if you are alright.
