Why is the Moon upside down?

This week, Luisa and I have been working on why the moon seems upside down in The Northern Hemisphere so we created a Google drawing to show our thinking. We also Showed the different kinds of angles that we see the Moon. What we view from Japan and what we view from New Zealand.

Autumn and I's friendship story

WALT: Recount a special day with a friend.

(Memorie 1)

Have you ever just thought back about all of the memories with your bestfriend? Well I have, and we have a lot of memories together and I can’t wait to explain what me and Autumn have done!!

Well, today was a usual day, I was bored without Autumn because she was in Whangarei, but her mum wasn’t. I went to my mum and begged her if she could take me to see Autumn, but she said that we have to go to her mum and ask for permission. As always, Autumn’s mum is very kind, but I asked if she could come with us to Whangarei, and she obviously said yes.

We had packed a few bags and all of us loaded into the car (Autumn’s Mum, My mum, My sister and myself). On our way to Whangarei, I never told her that I was going so it would be a surprise. When we got to the house in front of the massive yard, my mum told me that Autumn wasn’t there, and only Autumn’s sister was there. (My sisters Best friend). We kept on driving, until we arrived at this beach, I didn’t know that we were here because I was asleep. All of a sudden, I heard a “Click” of the door and a scream say “ WAKE UP HONEY!”

I was in shock because I never knew where we were, but then I saw Autumn, I was so happy I jumped out of the car and hugged her for 5 minutes.

I had asked Autumn if she could help me unpack my bags out of the boot, she said sure.

We had finished unpacking everything then we went for a walk around the beach, It was also so low tide. As the tide drifted out, we went for a walk along the beach until we reached the other side, I could see the backyard of the  house that was further along. There was a lot of shells and Autumn had cut her foot, she said that she didn’t feel it when it first got cut, but as she stepped inside of a salty puddle, it started to sting. I gave her my jandals because I didn’t want her to get hurt again. So, we walk back to the house and went inside of our tent.

I said I was bored because there was nothing to do and it was still 12:00, she asked her mum if we could go to a beach called “Mt Greggers”. She had told me what it was like and I was so eager to go. She had a few cousins there, and enough boogie boards for all of us. I was so excited and full of joy.

We rushed to the beach and I had already got my swimming gear on, I run and splashed into the water and it felt more warmer than I had expected it to be. I felt that the cold water had slightly gotten a little bit colder, but I didn’t mind. When I had gotten on my boogie board, massive waves started appearing and I tried to run because there was this one huge one. I had just made it onto shore, but i was still where the wave could splash, it had caught me and flipped me over and over. The salty water tasted disgusting because it got into my mouth. I had a lot of scrapes from when the wave hit me, but it was kind of fun.

When we were finished swimming, we went back to the house on the hill and it was quite late and I was tired, so I went for a little rest. I stayed with her for a week, then it was time to go home because school was going to start tomorrow. I started to cry because I didn’t want to leave her, but then, her mum said “If you want to come back home, you can” and Autumn replied with “Yes, of course I want to come back”

So, on our travel back to auckland, we got dropped off by Autumn and her mum and I said “Goodbye, see you next weekend”

I haven’t see Autumn in a while, but I will be seeing her soon. This has also been my first time going to Whangarei, and it was even better because I was with the most important person. I hope I get to experience this again. I loved going to the beach and going to other amazing places in Whangarei.

Going to the movies

It was a bright sunny Saturday afternoon. My friend and I had gone to watch a movie called Born to dance. It is an awesome movie about dancing.

It was a sunny afternoon and I got dropped off to my friends house, her name is Annalise. When we got there, we hopped in the car with her parents and they dropped us off to Sylvia Park. When we got to Sylvia Park, we went to the cinemas and booked our tickets for Born to dance. When we had finished booking our tickets, we went to pak'nsave to get some snacks to eat during the movie.

We walked back to the cinemas and waited for the movie to start. While we were waiting we played in the arcade, the game we played was Air Hockey. What we have to do is put a $2 coin in the machine and air comes out of the little holes in the table. When the air comes out of the table, we get given this disk and two handles. What we do with it is try to get it in the goal, but try to protect our own. I won the game, the score was 4-3.

The game had ended so we walked back to the waiting area and we could see our line forming. We went to our line to give our tickets so we could watch the movie. We got our snacks and made our way to cinema 4. The seats we had were all the way at the back so we went there, sat and waited for the movie to begin.

A few adds played then, finally, the movie started. We had enjoyed the whole movie, but we didn’t finish our snacks. When the movie finished, we came out of the cinema and went to the train station. Annalise took the stairs while I went on the elevator. I met her at the place where we get the tickets. I booked my train ticket and she booked hers, all we had to do was wait for the train afterwards.

When the train had got to where we needed to go, we needed to walk home. We walked to her house and waited for her dad to get home. When he got home, he dropped me off at my house.

I was very happy that I had finally watched Born to dance. I had waited for quite a while to watch it. I had a lot of fun too.

What I am grateful for in 2015

In 2015, I am grateful for inter school sports, free milk at school and free fruits. I also want to achieve more in my learning by the end of the year.

During this year, I am very grateful for going to interschool sports for netball and Soccer. It was an awesome experience and trying our hardest to win against children that are our years. Going to the AMI netball courts to challenge other schools and represent Glenbrae. We may have lost a few games but atleast we still tried our best. During some tournaments, there were a few accidents, but we still carried on.

Going to soccer has also been a fantastic experience for me. We won a few tournaments too, and I was so proud of what the year 6’s had achieved.

I am also grateful for having supplies of free milk. Milk is very healthy and contains calcium for bones and teeth and protein for muscles. Milk has also cooled me down after having a long play after morning tea.

Free fruit at school is another thing I am very grateful for. Having free fruit at school has kept the students at Glenbrae school very healthy, especially when the teacher insists that you have one. Most teachers depend on their students to throw their scraps in the rubbish bin. Fruits also contain a lot of nutrients which is very healthy for your body.

Continuing this year, I also want to achieve in my academic (Writing, Reading, Math, Science and Inquiry). I want to get to higher goals, levels and stages in all of my academic. The subject that I want to achieve the most in is my math. I want to go up a higher stage and get to the national standard, but I also want to achieve all of my academic.

This year, I am grateful for going to interschool sports, having free supplies of milk and having free fruit. I also hope that I get to achieve my academic by working really hard during the week and answering very hard questions.

6 places I want to go

Today, I am going to list the 6 places I want to go

1. Mysterious Island

The first place I want to go is called The Mysterious Island, it is on a movie called Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. 

2. Fiji

The second place I want to go is to Fiji, I want to go there because they have beautiful land and beautiful water. They also have really nice houses on the side of the beach. 

3. Hogwarts

The third place I want to go is Hogwarts, I want to go hogwarts because it is in the movie Harry Potter. In the movie, that is a school where the students get tought magic. I'm not sure if it is real, but I still want to go. 

4. Easter Island

The fourth place I want to go is named Easter Island. I want to go to Easter Island because they have these heads that pop out of the ground which makes is look ancient. 

5. The underwater hotel

Another place that I wish to go is called The Underwater hotel. In the hotel that is under water, it is protected by glass which incase the water could get in. Another reason why I want to go to the Underwater hotel is because when you are lying in bed, you can see all the fish swimming around, and you can sometimes also see divers. 

6. Paris

Last but not least, I want to visit Paris. I want to visit Paris because it has a beautiful culture and it also has the Eiffel Tower.
