My Hoilday Quick Write

In the Holidays I was at my house untill Monday. On Monday my nana picked me up to take me back to her house because I organised with her to help with some stuff and then on the first Friday of the holidays my aunty came down from Auckland to pick me and my brother up and then she took us back to her house. The next day my my aunty,my uncle,my baby cousin, me and my brother all went to a Mini Golf. It was called The Enchanted Forest and there were eighteen holes. On the like the seventh hole i got a hole in one and on the thirteenth hole you had to like hit the golf ball as hard as you could could and there was a picture of a frog and a ball and if you hit that picture you would get a point din ducted from your end score.After we finished playing Mini Golf we added up the scores and my uncle won my aunty came second I came third and my brother came last. Then on monday my aunty, my uncle, and my baby cousin took me and my brother to Ten Pin Bowling. We only played one game and my uncle won that as well then my brother came my aunty came third and I came last. Then later that night we went to Totara Park which was the second time for me but we went there because my aunty wanted to see some Glo Worms. It was cool because we went walking through Totara Park at and got to see heaps of different trees and Glo Worms. On Tuesday My aunty took us Swimming. At the Papatoetoe Leisure and Continental Pools. Then on Wednesday my Nana picked me up and took me back to her house. My aunty's favourite colour is Purple and she works at the Auckland Hospital.

Beach Garden

Today I made a beach garden with paige. The things we used to make it were water,sand,shells,umbrella,bucket,and a little bit of fabric. We made it on a plate and people from Moana and Whetu came to look at all of the garden's that had been built. Some other people's that were built were made out of Lego and some people had flower's in there garden's. My favourite part about building the gardens would have been putting the water in and putting the sand on the plate.

All Blacks dominate South Africa

On Saturday night I watched the All Blacks play South Africa. South Africa scored the first try from Brian Habana. Then the All Blacks came back and the score was 7-3 my favourite two tries were Ben Smiths and Ardie Savea's. The struck back from 7-3 and went into half time leading 15-10. The people that scored tries for the All Blacks were Israel Dagg Julian Savea Ardie Savea Sam Whitelock Ben Smith and TJ Perenara. Brian Habana was the person that scored for the South African's.The full time score was 41-13 to the All Blacks which means they are still underfeated in the 2016 Rugby Championship. The All Blacks will play Argentina next week in Buenos Aires on October the 2.

Weekly goal refelection

My goal this week was to never give up. I think I have achieved this because I never gave up at tech on  thursday and finished my job for our armillary sphere that we are making in metal tech. I think that never giving up is a good goal and that I should keep it as my goal for next week

All Blacks roll over Argentina

On Saturday night I watched the All Blacks play Argentina. I have to say Argentina put up a good fight in the first half against the All Blacks scoring the first try. The half time score was 24-19 to the All Blacks. In the second half the All Blacks started getting a further lead scoring five tries. 1 from Julian Savea 2 from Ben Smith 1 from Beauden Barrett 2 from Ryan Crotty 1 from Charlie Faumuina and 1 from Luke Romano. The full time score was 57-22 to the All Blacks. Because the All Blacks beat Argentina that means they stay undefeated in the 2016 Rugby Championship. The All Blacks will play South Africa next week and Argentina will play Australia.

If you could be anyone for a day who would it be and why?

If I could be anyone in the world for a day I would be a Famous All Black because that has been my dream or goal ever since I started playing rugby. If I become a All Black that would mean the world to me because then I would get to travel around the world and be seen on T.V. playing for a good New Zealand rugby team.

Is it better to be a kid or a grown up?

Being a kid means that you can stay young for longer and do all the things that people can do when they are young. If you are a grown up you start to relax more often and don't get outside to do all the things you can do when you are a kid such as running fast learning new things and when you are a grown up you start to play video games and then you aren't as active as you are when you are as a kid. Thats why I would choose to be a kid.

Daffidol Day

Today is Daffidol Day and at our school we got to dress up to what we want to be when we grow up.

Daffodil Day is a special day because we donated it the Cancer Society and now they can get feed and be looked after more better because now that we have donated to them they can be feed more and looked after better.

Neo’s story about the weekend

On the weekend I went to Taupo with my mum and dad. We had to drop off a car in our shed. My favourite part was the trip down there and getting Pizza and fish and chips. I also got to see my mums nana when we got there she had a sore neck and was asleep so we had to wake her up. We stayed there for about 2 hours playing cards and talking. She gave me some biscuits and a Milo and before we left she gave two plastic containers of Tic Tac lollies and said gave me one to give to my brother and keep one for myself.When we left from my mum nana's house we walked down the streets of Taupo and we passed my mum's old house. They have subdivided the house my mum used to live in when she was living in Taupo. Then we left to go back to my nana's house and we didn't get back until 3:30 in the morning. When we got back my nana was still awake. Then it wasn't till like 4:00 that I went to bed because I had something to eat and had a shower and then went to bed.

Positive Words

Music Reflection

Earlier this term we started doing Rad Rhythm in our homerooms but now we do it in our learning teams. I have learnt different sorts of notes and what they are worth. A whole note is worth 4 beats a half note is worth 2 beats and a quarter note is worth 1 beat. We also played 2 games one was Copy Cats and the other one was don't clap this one back. I have enjoyed doing this because I learnt different beats and getting to know different types of drumming. Something I found interesting was when he did his beats and then he speed them up. What I need to improve on is hand drumming with the new eight beat. Their names were Jonny and Jared

My Goal Reflection

I can make positive choices that are right for my learning. I made a good choice by sitting by a teacher and doing my AWS I got one and a half pages done and now I have done six pages of AWS. I completed my goal by not sitting with my friends so much and making sure that I am in the right place at the right time doing the right thing.

Starting Tech

Four weeks ago we started Tech at the College. I was in sewing we made pencil cases. The fabric I choose to use on my pencil case was one that had cows on it. First we had to get our License and then we had to sew on a piece of paper with straight lines on it. Then we had to choose the colour zip we wanted. After that we had to choose our fabric that we wanted to use and pin it to our zips. Then we had to get our fabric ironed before we could turn it inside out.

Holiday Highlight

In the holidays my mum, my dad, my brother and I went to Waihi Beach. Mum taught us how to dig up crabs in the right place and if they were home we would flick them out off the stick. The crabs had a square shaped shell on top. My Mum said the female crabs have a little black line underneath. They have eight legs. It was cool how they burry themselves under the sand. First they make a hole big enough to fit in, then they crawl in and cover themselves up.
