Last term I went to a different school school, they never had netbooks so they had to work with pencils pens and books.Then when I moved Pt England every one had netbooks from year 5 to year 8.

With netbooks its much faster to write stories do our maths and all our other work to do with school.As using books you can have very messy hand-writting but with A netook you can have whatever font you would like to have.

Sometimes when you are typing the keys can pop of and you wouldn’t know where to put them back on. There is no movie making programmes so we can make movies on our netbook.

But with our netbooks we can be creative as we want even though we don’t have best graphics but at least we have them.  

I have been learning to add detail to the beginning, middle and end of my sentences. Which one do you think is the best?.

Time for family and present giving is near, and I’m really looking forward to Christmas.

We just got back from present shopping, so I’m really looking forward to Christmas.

Camp

Last Monday on the 20th of November the Year sixes went to Kawau Island, to go to Camp. We had to be at school before seven O’clock in the morning.Then the bus arrived to pick us up, we loaded the 2 buses and began our one and a half hour bus trip.

Finally we got to Sandspit, the tide was in. We got to have lunch, we also got a toilet break, the toilets were a few metres from where we sat to have lunch.Then we broke up into 2 big groups to play whizz, it was funny because some people were getting mixed up with the actions.Then the ferry came it was quite big the adults and teachers loaded up the ferry with the bags they done it really really quick, and we were off on to the water.The one hour trip didn’t seem that long because i was with friends that were sitting by me.

The time had gone so fast it was already past ten O’clock.As we approached the wharf the boys had to do the haka it took up most of the top of the ferry.At first Erin and Peter didn’t hear or see anything of the haka, so they had to do it again.So they stood up and  did the haka again.

We then unloaded the bags off the ferry then it left, and we had to carry all the bags up to the verandah did about three trips, some of the bags were very heavy and some weren’t.They got there and then it was time for our big exercise moments it was about a two hour long up and down hike.

Across those days were really fun and enjoyable.We had Free time most of the First day which meant we could play or do anything, until the horn went which was really loud. Then we had dinner and played three games of spotlight most of the kids got caught by running around.Then it was bed the time was around nine thirty at night.

Morning had already came and it was time for our morning fitness up and down the steep hills again then we had finished.It was then time for breakfast.Then breakfast had finished and it was time for our activites to being and start.The day was full of activites and fun exciting stuff.

The rest if the days were mostly the same except the last day. The last day was full of sports.Volleyball Swimming Bush Baseball and Rippa rugby.Then we loaded the ferry up when it came and it was time to go home. And get ready for school.

I had a great time at Kawau Island and hopefully so will my sister when she goes.

Summer

Days are hot
So are the pots
Going for a swim
As the lights dim
Now shivering cold
Go get warm I'm told

Camp

Next week it’s camp
What if the bunks are damp
I don’t want to get cold
Then in the morning i will fold
I will have something to eat
I hope it’s neat.
