The Dream by Jaweria, Isabella and Emma

Here's our animation! It's the weirdest animation ever... It's about a girl who has a dream. She watches TV then suddenly everything disappears as well as her. An old man comes and then he falls. After that a shark comes and a bottle of slime falls on it. Then an elephant with a guitar. After that the old man comes back and again everything disappears. The girl wakes up and she flies up while her mother is in the room. Then everything disappears again! The End! (also it is called 'The Dream')

The Mind Lab...

MIND LAB IN PETONE!!!

Yesterday we went to The Mind Lab in Petone. It was awesome. First the long bus ride to Petone, which was 2 hours. I was sitting right up the front at the window seat with Tiaki beside me. Across from me were Jaweria and Isabella. We were special since we were in the front and we had seat belts. Soon we were there. We were almost blew away by the wind when we hopped out of the bus. We eventually go there and sat down in the main room. 2 people were waiting for us. They introduced them selves as Malcolm and Benedict. There were five activities waiting for us. 1. Get a paper cup with 3 felt pens and tape/rubber band them to the cup. Put a motor with a battery pack on it and try and get it to wobble around. 2. Make a car with cardboard, cds, skewers, straws, tape and motor and battery packs. 3. 3D Printing. 4. Stop motion animation. 5. MaKey MaKey, with circuits. So that was Mind Lab!!!!! Can we have one in school??

Basketball- Semi Finals

Hey there everyone! Last night on the 10th of September, my basketball team, the College Street Panthers, had our semi-final game of basketball. We were winning in the first quarter but the other team, Akourtre drew close but we eventually overtook them. Soon it was the last quarter but we were winning by tons. At one point a guy in my team called Ryan got the ball and sprinted for a lay-up. He got three in. Sadly in that game I got no goals but I had lots of shooting chances but didn't get one in. The last few minutes ticked on the clock. It was 30:14. I stole the ball off my defender and sprinted down the court. My defender was just behind me. I stopped dribbling and my defender flew past me. I wasn't gonna get a shot in from here. I quickly passed it to Alex who passed it to Tiaki and got it in. We jogged back over halfway. There was a minute left on the clock and the other team quickly came to get a goal. My defender had the ball. There was no way that they were gonna get a goal with me marking them! They took forever to go up the court and dribbling slowly. By the time they got to the goal there were 5 seconds left on the clock. They shot and didn't get it in. The loud buzzer went off to signal the end of the game. I walked over to my coach with my teammates panting loudly. "Yeah!!!!! We won!" Me and my teammates chorused loudly. We shook hands with the other team and saying 'good game!' That night I went home happy. WE'RE IN THE FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extension Writing

Hi guys! I'm back! And I made it into Extension Writing! We have to write a realistic narrative. (spoilers!) Mine is about someone being on a plane and it crashes (spoilers!). This is the start of it: Lucy  stared out the window at the midnight sky. The plane rose higher and higher into the sky. She leaned her head onto the back of the seat and hoisted up her blanket. Lucy snuggled into it and her eyelids began to close... =)
