Guy Fawkes By Alice

On a Monday there was a cold blue sky at night. When the star's shone bright blue my family and I lit firework's.


 Lifting up their brown hand's, my family pulled out fireworks from a box. Mum was so excited she jumped up with laughter, my sister jumped up too and danced around like a clown. The little children had sparkler's, it was fun to draw our names in the air.

The first firework was colourful, it was red, pink, green and blue, it exploded in the sky, “BOOM”! When that fireworks finished we got the second firework out,  it was could Zombie Dombie. My oldest brother held the long stick while my other brother lit the fireworks. It looked like a sparkling yellow star.


 As I  walked inside my house I heard a loud noise so I ran outside and I saw firework’s  popping out of a bottle. I screamed ‘Arggh’  because I was frightened.

My cousin’s ,Uncle’s and Auntie’s came to join the celebrations. That’s when it was extra, extra, extra, extra, extra, extra fun! My mum said in Samoan’’ok, well now that the children are here we have to give them sparkler’s’. We gave them sparkler’s than the adult’s did the big fireworks.  Soon it was all over and everyone went home. My mum said in Samoan’’ Goodbye’‘ and we went inside to sleep. As I pulled the covers up to my chin I imagined colourful, beautiful, sparking fireworks. I could not wait for next year.

Fireworks by Waimaria

On Monday I  asked my mum and Robbie if we could have fireworks.  Me, my Mum ,Tanisha went to the shop which had fireworks in it. My mum said we can get it if it was $25. It was and my mum said yes. Then we went home. When we  went home I asked Robbie if we can do fireworks now, but he said no.

Tanisha said "we want fireworks too". When we went to the shop Tanisha  went in the shop to see what was inside. Tansiha said "mum you have to come and see, there is fireworks there as well". She said "lets buy it" . "OK"  said my mum.

When it was night  Robbie said you can do it now ok. My mum said yes we can do it now. I was so happy. I wish we can do it again. It was so so cool. I loved Monday.

Venetia Retells a Story Using the Ipad

Paris and Liz Write together

I sunk into the deep muddy mud it was like quick sand pulling me down. My shoe got lost in the mud so I had to look for it. It was the Pt England School cross country at the Pt England Reserve.

We gathered together outside Mr Barks room. Then we met Mr Burt and we walked on the track. Mr Burt told the girls to line up. The nine year olds had to run through the bush walk. I fell down and neally fell in the creek and I was crying but a teacher helped me up.When I fell down I was running so fast I run like a cheetar.

I sunk into the deep muddy mud it was like quick sand pulling me down. My shoe got lost in the mud so I had to look for it. It was Pt England School cross country day, it was at the Pt England Reserve for the nine year olds. We were running out of breath.

We gathered together outside Mr Barks room. Then we met Mr Burt and we walked to the track.Then Mr Burt told the girls to line up, I felt nervous it was like butterflies were in my tummy.

Nine year olds had to run through the bush walk. I fell down and neally fell in the creek and I was crying, but a teacher helped me up. When I fell down I was running so fast I run like a cheetar. As I came to the finish line I heard Mr J speaking on the microphone, he was encouraging us to keep on running.I was so glad I made it.

I looked down at my muddy feet it was covered in mud it looked like cowpat. It felt really squishy. It dripped down my legs it felt tickley. When I was running I fell over but I got up and started running to get to the finish line first.I had lots of fun. Running in cross crountry. I saw the mud at the finish line I was about to fall over again.

Amber and Toma write about Valarie Adams

Valarie Adams won a silver medal in shot put and came second place because she stepped out of the circle but Nadzeya Ostapchuk did'nt step out of the circle.

Valarie Adams is 27 years old world champion in the London olympic 3 Times. She had three no throws, but had powerfull throws because of her strong arms, they were always over 20meters.Valarie adams was so sad because she is no longer the world champion in the hole world she was no longer the best.In the next olympic she is going to come first.

We feel sorry for Valarie Adams.

It was Day ten of the olympics and it was announced that Opstachuck had been taking drugs to make her stronger. Nadzeya opstachuck was discalfid. Then Valarie Adams had won a gold medal in shot put.

Taunese writes about our Olympic Assembly

This is Taunese's first story that she has written and shared via our ipad.

Early Monday morning Pt England students went to the chilly school hall. It was immersion assembly and the topic for Term Three was the Olympics.

Team three was my favorite because when Lights  out Lavakula did her powerful punch to Boogaloo Barks and he fell on the stage, he stumbled to his feet and ran away with fear. Did you know,that this year women are allowed to box in the Olympics and that it is held in London?

Writing Via Our Ipad About Shawn's Artwork

Room Ten have been using our ipads to write. We have been writing using the app Evernote. First we take a picture to inspire us, then we colaborate to write our story, after that we record our story it to hear how it sounds and help us edit. Then we email it to our Teacher to post on our blog. The following description is by Adriel and Omari.

Shawn likes to go around with his dad in his truck. He made this artwork for the school art exhibition.Omari and I thinks that Shawn's art work is fantastic.
The dark colors make me sad like a raining day.The truck looks stormy and dark.The truck looks cool with flames on its trailer. The wheels look like their going to pop from the heat of the red flames.
When I look at the truck it looks like its on fire at the back.The truck of the tree looks like it is on fire. The road looks like stones filled up with cheese.
Omari and I think it is the best in the school art exhibition.We thought this artwork is going in a famous New Zealand art gallery.I was inspired by Shawns truck that he drew.I think that he will be a good artist some day just like Mondrian.I am a big fan of Shawn's work, his art makes me smile all the time I see his work on the wall in the art exhibition.I hope when he grows up he becomes an artist.I hope he has a huge studio to make heaps of art.
