Today Tracey, Olivia, Bree and I made a movie about christmas. We really enjoyed making it because we got to act out the characters. The movie is about how santa spreads the presents and how the elves make the presents. We made it for fun and in our class we were having a christmas wonderland challenge. Bree was Rudolph, Tracey was Santa, Olivia an elf and a reindeer and I was the same as Olivia. We all had turns at filming.
Enjoy and please comment.

Nga Rakau Triathlon Reflection
Reflection for Nga Rakau Triathlon
· Something I was pleased with was that I crossed the finish line with a smile on my face because I knew that I had finished.
· I really enjoyed learning how hard it actually was to do 4 lengths of the pool after you have done a bike because I was on gear 6 and it was really hard so my legs had to work hard.
· Something I found hard was running with a sore knee and calf muscle.
· Something that made me think was what place I was coming in the race because I wanted to make my family proud.
· Something I want to get better at is swimming when I am puffed.
What can I do about it?
Work harder at swimming lessons so I can swim more iffitiontly.
I am really proud of myself because I tried my best and I did not give up when I was running with a sore calf Muscle and a sore Knee. I ended up coming 5th.

Balloon Rocket Experiment
Balloon Rocket
![]() |
Hypothesis (What I think will happen)
I think that it won’t go really far but it will still work.
Materials
- String 10m
- Straw
- Balloon
- 2 chairs
- Sello tape
Method (What we did)
- Tie or tape string to the chairs
- Place the straw on the string with it going through
- Blow up the balloon do not close off the end
- Pinch together the end then tape the big body part to the straw with the open facing the way that there is no string.
- What and see what happens.
Observation (What happened)
The balloon went flying because the air was all rushing out of one hole and that caused it to go flying.
Conclusion (Why I think it happened)
Because the air was all rushing out and making the balloon move.
Joey Pigza swallowed the Key

Last week, Bree, Olivia, Lily and I made a trailer on the book that our class has been reading, Joey Pigza swallowed the Key. I was Mrs Maxy, Bree was Joey, Olivia was Mum and Lily was the filmer and the Principal. I really enjoyed making the trailer because I think that the book is really funny so we get to have some fun making it and being not our normal selves.

Praying Mantis Everywhere
After Volleyball on Thursday afternoon, Dad and I were digging in the garden, pruning the tomatoes when we came across a praying mantis home. I know that you might be thinking that it is not that exciting but I found it really exciting because the baby praying mantises were hatching out of their eggs. I looked and saw them and I thought. that is a big egg for so little amount of praying mantis but I looked around the pole and they were EVERYWHERE.
Here are some images so you can see what I saw.
I have never seen this before! |
They are EVERYWHERE! |
Ninja Python
Ninja Python
By Lily and Hannah.
The Ninja Python is the most terrifying creature of them all. Watch out because they have Ninja stars that come out if their mouth which will chop off your head. The Ninja Python is quite rare but furious. Do you know how to defend your self from one? Read on to find out facts about them and learn how to defend yourself.
Why is this creature so terrifying?
This Ninja Python is terrifying because it has eight eyes in the back of its head so do not try to follow one. They have ninja stars growing down their spine and they rip one out when they want to throw one at you. The stars grow back as soon as they are removed from their body. The ninja python is able to jump up off the ground and wrap itself around your neck and strangle you to death. If you dare to go through their territory they will
If you are walking through the Ninja City, under trees, they might attack you from above. They have the skills of a black belt in being a Ninja and they are not scared to attach you. They are able to change colours to blend in with their surrounding. They can shoot acid from their mouth and burn down your house.
What damage can they do?
First to start off with they can kill you. They can chop off your head, strangle you to death and throw ninja stars at you head. They can knock down your house by shooting their acid.
Diet
Humans, Fruit, Dirt , Zombie Pigs, Demon Leopard, Giant Lobsters , Ninja Hot Dogs and Egg Salad. Their favourite food is Zebra Hearts and Zebra Eyeballs.
Conclusion
Now that you know how terrifying these creatures are , don’t go any where near them or they will slice your head off.
Mathletics
Over the last past week I have been designing a mathletics poster for maths. I have just finished and I think that it looks pretty cool. I am going to enter it in a competition with all of the other childrens designs.
Hope you like it!

Reflection for Mathletics
Something I was pleased with was that my design went well because I didn’t do that much mistakes.
I really enjoyed learning how to draw different designs because some of them I have never done before.
Something I found hard was drawing the circle in vivid because the vivid didn’t fit in the compass.
Something that made me think was what design was going to do for my final design because I wanted it to look really cool.
Something I want to get better at is not making big blobs in the middle of my design when I can’t draw the circles.
What can I do about it? Find a different way to get the vivid in the compass.
