What Now

 On Sunday we went to Shantytown for What Now when we got there we handed in our permission slips and we waited in one of the buildings for about 20 minutes when the What Now crew came they introduced themselves and then we were told to get on the train for a shot of us walking out of the train.


After we had done that we walked over to the big shed and played Say it don't Spray it the contestants had to say a tongue twister the first person got it correct and the rest of the people lost and they got foamed and the first person also got covered in foam.


Once we had done that we did a shot of us walking behind the lady from What Now. After that we went to the theater and we were told by the cameraman to act like the movie was terrible and walk out angrily so everyone walked outside pretending like it was a terrible movie.


After that we had a sludge fight and then we left.

Ski Trip

 We went to the Porters Heights were we went skiing we started by going on beginners where we were reminded how to stop and turn. After a few turns on beginners I decided to go on the intermediate track and to get up you had to hold on to a pole and it will pull you up. At first it was daunting and scary but after the first go down it was easy.

When you go down the intermediate there is a ramp you can go down and the first time I did it but the second time I fell over and nearly rolled down the hill. Once we were finished we walked over to the dressing room got dressed into our normal shoes and left.

At one point in the book it talks about how in Colne Bridge in West Yorkshire there was a weaving mill. In 1818 the girls who worked there were ‘trouble’ The owner decided to keep them under control. How? He let them in for work, then bolted the doors. They couldn't get out till they had done their day's work. Sadly that was the day the mill caught fire seventeen girls died. The youngest was just nine years old.

Reading Week 5

      Horrible History England

            Terry Derry Martin Brown

One part of this book talks about how back in 1742 about 5 million English people were drinking 20 gallons of gin every year. In the 1870s a Russian visitor was shocked by what he saw in an English pub... Everyone is drunk but unhappy and gloomy and strangely silent. Only swearing and the odd bloody fight breaks the silence. Everyone is in a hurry to drink till they are senseless. The wives drink as much as the husbands and they all got drunk together while children crawl and run about among them.

Conservation Week Poem

 Life of a Mountain


I am a  Mountain 


being a mountain I can not do much  

I like to dream 

I can get up and wander

 but all I can do is sit and ponder. 


I like to watch. 

I like to gaze 

but sometimes when it's stormy 

the lightning sets the trees ablaze 


in a thousand years I might be gone 

but you can still remember 

all the birds and bees and trees 


so just remember 

I might be gone 

but the rest of the forest 

continues to breathe.









Reading Week 4

      Horrible History England

            Terry Derry Martin Brown

One part of this book I like is Filthy Food Andrew Borde was right about poor people eating little but porridge. In the Middle Ages the poor cooked in the kitchen with a big pot (cauldron) that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly peas to make pease porridge and didn't get much meat.

Reading Week 3

       Horrible History England

             Terry Derry Martin Brown

One of my favourite parts of the book is about how at the Battle of Marston in 1644 Prince Rupert fought for the King. Oliver Cromwell defeated him and sent Rupert’s horsemen galloping away for their lives. They reached a farm where luckily the farmer's servant was a great fan of Prince Rupert She threw open the gate to let the runaway Royalist through. They didn't stop to say thanks in fact they were in such a hurry they trampled her into the ground Oooops!

NZ Writing

This Is Just To Say 
by William Carlos Williams & Wyatt Brooking

I have stolen 
The diamonds 
That you left in your chest

And which you were probably
Saving for a diamond pickaxe 

Forgive me they were 
Amazing 

So shiny 

And so efficient.
