Investigating Jerry

(Investigating Jerry)

“Mhmmmm something smells nice” Jerry said as he woke. He ran down stairs with excitement. As soon as he got down stairs, he ate the food that was made for him on the table. A couple of minutes later his mum went out to town.

The moment he got up from the table, he heard loud banging on his front door. He quickly ran to the door as fast as he could. As he opened the door slowly, he saw his mail thrown on the steps. He opened his mail and it said that he had to go to the police station for some questioning. Jerry packed his things and drove his mum to a family relatives house and went to the beach in town to think about what he did. After that he decided to stand in line to buy ice cream. Minutes later the investigator saw him and took him into the police station.

As soon as they arrived at the police station Jerry was taken to the room to be questioned. Minutes later the investigator asked him questions about where he was at that time and what he was doing, it made Jerry very nervous. The investigator made him even nervous by telling him he could go jail if he doesn’t speak up. Jerry didn’t say anything until the investigator was about to walk out.

Yesterday we did puns. Puns are a play of words. The first example of a pun that we did was brainwashing. Everyone made a pun and my one was " I like being a browser for the free cookies". I really enjoyed doing these puns.

Balloon Volleyball.

Last friday some girls from our class and some people from room 7 came with us to the hall to play volleyball with the balloons. My partner was Rebecca. It was so much fun because there was so much laughter. I hope we get to play again this week.

Simple Machine.

For the past few weeks our class did topic study on Simple machines. I used the wheel and axle. It was difficult for me to come up with one simple machine because everyone was doing the same thing. What I used to make my simple machine was kebab sticks, cardboard and a milk carton. It was so much fun.

Nachos- Tech

On monday for cooking we were with Mrs. Tuipulotu. We made nachos and everyone enjoyed it. Sadly it was our last week for cooking. I had so much fun cooking with Mrs. Heka and mrs. Tuipulotu.

Integers.

Reading activities.

In the six activities I chose these two activities because it helped me to understand more about what prefix and suffix is. It also helped me understand the literal meaning and figurative meaning for sticky spot.

Maori.

Today Lakai and I didn't have the chance to participate in the maori lesson with Ms. Maude because we did writing with Mrs. Thompson. We missed out on all the singing but it was still fun doing writing. I hope next week we would get the chance to participate in it and also have fun.

Boys Helping

This morning the 10 boys from Room 8 helped Mr. Hendricks move the logs from the Junior side to the Senior side. They moved it because he wants to mark a Volleyball court so we can practise the volleyball skills for sports camp.

Rounding decimals to the nearest tenth.

This morning for maths I was rounding decimals to the nearest tenth. I enjoyed playing this activity because it made me remember what we were learning when we did maths on the mat. It was easy for me because I knew how to do it and I was happy with the score I got.

Football Skills.

Today we were learning skills based on football. The coach, Steve taught us some of the skills that are played in football.

    

The skills are:

1. Use the inside and outside of your foot.
2. Use the bottom of your foot to stop the ball.
3. Use your body to protect the ball.
4. Don't lose control of the ball.
5. Don't kick the ball above the hips.

I was good but not that good at playing football because I dont know how to play it well, but it was fun learning the skills although some were difficult learning. The easy part of it was dribbling the ball.

If I was to compare football to another sport it would be volleyball because it's a sport i'm good at but sometimes not.

It was so much fun playing and practicing the skills for football because it was my first time learning the them. The fun part of it was when we got to play a game at the end, versing other teams. I had so much fun.
