 The Beach

Shiver, shiver! In the weekend I went to the beach. It was really cold.  Me and Grandmas friend were there. Swosh Swosh I dived into the sea . It was a nice and beautiful day. Then  we went home to get my dads togs because we locked the door. We saw  dads car come down. I run as fast as I could. I bet Dad’s car. Dad put his togs on. Then we were off. I hoped into the sea again. Cannonball!

Splash! “That was really cool’’ I yelled. Next Dad threw me and he made me do a bellyflop. “Ouch that hurt’’ I said. After that we all headed for home. Lastly we had some cookies and a milo. Me and grandma made a milkshake together. It was a really fun and exciting day.

Nanny’s house

Bye Mum bye Dad! In the weekend Me and Mia went to our Nanny’s house. First  Mum dropped Nanny, me and Mia to the dairy so we could get some food.Then we walked home and ate our lunch. We got chips and Mia and Nanny got pies. After that  we read some magazines and talked. Lastly Mum picked us up and we went home.

I felt annoyed because Mum didn’t give us a bag of books and activities.

The Shelly Beach

On the weekend I went to the beach.I went with my aunty and cousins. When we got there I was diving into the beach with my cousin Seranade. We pretended that if we touched water we will turn into a mermaid. It was warm and cold.I played with my cousins in the beach. Their names are Seranade,Astin,Salist and Eden. After two or three hours my little brother and my other little cousins came.We had to move spots on the beach because the tide was coming in.Then after we moved we got back into the water. We played for a while then it was time to go home. We packed up. My nan came to pick us up. She took the boys and my Aunty Jaymie took the girls. When we got home we played on our bikes and watched tv.

Statistical Enquiry

For the past two weeks the children in Room 16 have been learning about graphing. This week each child posed a question they wanted to find out about. They then carried out a survey of Room 16, collecting data in a tally chart. This data was then displayed in a bar graph.
Here is Ariel explaining what he did.

Alfa's Recount

Last Friday

In the afternoon on Friday me and my sister and uncle went to Grey Lynn School. We played cricket first. I was batting first. Then it was my sister’s turn. My sister got a home run. Then we went to the shops. We got lollies. Then we went home. My sister took my lolly so we had to go back to the shops.

He wanted to go home.  The movie was                

sad but happy at the end.
