Week 5 Term 4 2017

This week was a bit different. Monday was fine. Tuesday, on the other hand, was extremely different. On Tuesday it was HP Athletics, I did not make it in so I had to stay at school. Now here is the different thing. The people how did not make it into HP from Whetu came into Marama. So this meant that I could see my best friend in class. We also had different teachers, as our normal teachers were at HP. But something went wrong at lunch. A storm began. There were thunder and hints of lighting, it rains and we also had some hail.

On Thursday in the middle block of school. The school's internet went down for the rest of the day so we had to do things old school with paper. Why this week did things go wrong on all the day starting with T.

My New Lego Sets

Hi, I am here to tell you some exciting news (well for me). Yesterday I was given, by my friend, a box of lego and guess what, in the box of lego there are two discontinued, or as lego fans say retired sets. One of them where the Lego Cty Mine Set and the second set was the Lego City Fire Station.

The lego mine was one I really wanted and I have started building it with online instructions. I haven't gotten far with it. Now, with the fire station, I am not going to make it I am going to make a MOC, to go next to the latest fire station lego released.I hope to make lego city better with these sets.

My Weekly Reflection. WK 4/TM 4

This week we had athletics on Tuesday. In the 200m race, I came 4th and I came 3rd to last in the 100m race. I am not sure what I came in shotput, high jump or long jump. Kurt my friend/brother, brought me two ice blocks. They were yum. On Thursday and Friday the year 7s made some Tips and tricks for the year 7s next year. I also had trombone practice on Monday instead of Thursday. This week has been different.

This week we had cross-country and I came ninth and I managed to get to the Hauraki Plains but I didn't want to go because I know that I will come last.

Week 4 Term 3

This week I got a gold medal on Mangahigh. This house was quite difficult it has to do with fraction and I am not so good at fractions and so I did quite well and I got some help from Rebecca. I am very proud of myself. I also learnt some more of Believer from Shrek on my trombone It is very difficult but easy at the same time I think I'm doing good and my music teacher said I am doing good as well. On Friday the Jump Jam person came to the school at 8:45 to 9:20 and I did not really enjoy it but I had to do it but I kind of enjoyed a little bit of it. It was quite funny I was laughing a lot with my friend Christopher.

Week 3 Term 3 Reflection.

This week has been a bit different because, first of all we didn't get any set manga high tasks until Thursday. We were set 3 multiplication and division task and I have not passed any of them because I am not good at multiplication or division things. Second, for art we did something really simple. What we did was get a poem on paper circle some of the words to make a sentence of our own and then colour the back ground. Now last of all my trombone. I am learning the song believer off Shrek.

Indiana Jones 5

Indiana Jones 5

In 2019 or 2020 Indiana Jones 5 is going to be released out too the world. I’m so excited because, Indiana Jones is my favourite movie. I have 2 Indiana Jones books {not based of the movie}, I have read the Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull and I have a lego set from Indiana Jones. For those of you who are fans of Indiana Jones Harrison Ford is coming back to act Indy. Harrison Ford is going to be 77 when the movie comes out, so I don't think Indy will fighting hard like he did in the other movies. This is a guess , I think the the movie will based in the 1960s-1970s because the 4th movie was based in the 1950s. Gorge Lucas has given Indiana Jones to Disney. So Gorge won't be back, bur Steven Spielberg will be back to direct the movie. But I’m really looking ford to seeing the movie on big screen in the cinemas.
