food is yum but I would  like to eat heaps of cutted up roast pork and Lamb with vegetables for christmas eve. If it is a hot sunny day we might have a water fight. One thing about my little brother like roast pork on rice from the hot food shop in Panmure.

For Pudding I would like a big chocolate mud cake with vanilla ice cream. Plus some strawberries and chocolate dipping. I heard that strawberries are yummy and sweet to eat with out the green little leafs.

Texas Netbook Reflections 2013

Hi my name Is Texas,The things I like about my netbook is that it is better than using a book to write on, And one other thing is that I can post stuff on my blog and the whole world can see it.What I learn about is that we can do reading and maths and learning how to use it properly.

The things that frustrates is that my netbook turns off and it logs off any time. Som
\e other things frustrates me is that I have to to heap of different thing all the time. Once I turned my netbook and it was re-imaged.

What would make my netbook better would be a bigger version of our netbooks because our netbooks are small. Some other things is that we can upgrade our netbooks, And we can add other stuff to my netbook.

Two years ago we had to write on our books. But now by science in 2011 we have special netbooks so we can do writing and heaps of others stuff from around the world. I like my netbook because I learn heaps on it.

Camp Day 1

On Tuesday the year  6’s went to school for a meeting before we go to Camp Bentzon ,Mr Burt told us to put all the suitcases into the bus’s. I waved to my dad, mum and my two brothers when I went passed them. I was cold Because I was sitting next to a window with heaps of wind.

I was sitting  next to Logan when we were on the way Kauwa island. Me and Isara Saw a Crashed blue BMW down the cliff.
Then we were talking to Jarred Because we thought that he wasn't a new zealander but he was. The funny thing about him was that he can speak Spanish.

We got to Sandspit and had some morning tea while the teachers put our suitcases in the ferry Boat. We got on the Ferry Boat and I sat on the top so I can Feel the breeze . We went passed a little small kind of  island.

We saw houses when we were nearly there. So we saw a lady then we started to do the haka . We stopped  and got out of the ferry and looked at the place.

The teachers told us to take the suitcases near the sliding door room ,and take the kitchen stuff to the kitchen. We had to sit in our lines so we can get points and  I was in Katz. Mr Jacob got ready to go to put the rock on  the  tin  whey up the hill.



It was very hard walking up the hill so I grabbed a stick  and tried  and tried to go up the hill. We got there  and had a little bit to eat, Isara had a  speech for us. so we went back to our cabins to put our stuff away.

Everyone arrived  back and putted there suitcases away in their cabins. It was nearly dinner time so we  had to sit in our lines and wait for the teacher to call us.While we wait we just talk about what we are going to eat.

We ate  hamburgers  and it was yum, But  also some Corn cobs with hot chips. Our drink was water when we get thirsty all the time after eating. We finished and then brushed our teeth  before we go to sleep.

I was tied so I went to sleep and have to wake up early the next day.I heard something thing it was a wallabee.

We arrived at 10:00 am and left at 9:30 am, So me and Lukis got out of the bus with the others from our class and look at the haunted house. There was someone peeking through the window with a mask that had blood over it. Lukis said”I made a mistake I opened the gate and there was a sign that said” Do not enter as you will have worst nightmares”.So there he was opening the gate but then He walked to the door dripping tears of sadness He said to me”If I die tell Justin Bieber I was his best fan ever. The Man opened the door and Lukis Said” what is your name “ and the man said” Freddy that is my name”.So Freddy chased our class with his chainsaw and everyone was screaming their heads off. Also Sarah stopped running and went face to face with Freddy and then Freddy chopped her head off and had some fun for the first day and went into his robot machine with heaps of bullets and chased after us. There was a Zombie in the bus eating the bus driver then we had the biggest fright ever, Eric got eaten and eat his brain first and turned him into a skeleton..Guess what Mr Marks had a bazooka and shoot the zombie into little bits of pieces.

Disadvantage Body

Guess what room 15 did on Monday?
We were doing activities with out our leg or without our arm. The strange thing will be without our
arm because we wouldn’t run properly. We had to wear are band around our waist.

Mr Marks took us to the court and did activities that we challenged. The first activity was running to the running line and back. The awkward  thing was that we had to run with our left arm and the right arm was inside the band next to my waist. When I was running it felt weird because I couldn’t run properly.

This time we had to run with our other arm to the end of the line and back. I was running, it felt better than the other arm that i was running with because that arm hurt my hand when i was running. Mr Marks thought that we looked hilarious when we were running but no.

The next activity was chucking the softball throw. Lukis was first  and i was second. Mr said you can throw it then wait to get your ball, then Lukis went he was running with one arm and the other arm beside him.
It was my turn Mr Marks told me that i had to stand on one leg then throw the ball
and i did it i went to get the ball and come back. Mr Marks told us and said” was that great’ and we said’ yes’.so we got our stuff and headed back to class.


We went back to class before the bell rings.The bell rang Then we went back home to have a rest    

Five A-side Foot Ball

In Five A-side football the football players are blind so they were blindfolded, But the goalkeeper had vision so he can catch the ball. The football players had incredible moves when they were controlling the ball .As one of the players got the goal he kicked it fast and the goalkeeper missed.

paralympics

In the Paralympics people have body parts that were amputated.
In the 200m sprint one off their legs were amputated so they had  a curved blade and the other one was normal. Some people start off with their legs side to side then they run faster.
At the finish line people trip over because they can’t balance properly.

Could Creatures Live With Out Rain

If rain doesn't come down the sea creatures will remain alive but the creatures on land would not survive when theres no rain. If there's no water for people they will die with no water for our oxygen.

The world won't live without plants and animals. The animals can’t live neither can plants grow without the rain. The deserts needs water and rain for the dry plants.


We need some rain for the animals because  they might die and not survive. The plants needs supplies to get water or rain so they could grow big. We had to survive with water to drink and stay alive. without rain we won’t grow crops or vegetables.


Some people get angry when it rains but it helps things grow and live. Farmers have cows and sheep to get milk and blankets. But some people were really happy of the rain so the crops can grow and people can drink. The city needs water to drink when they're at work. But some city gets really happy when it rains. There dams needs to keep full so there is enough water to drink.

Swimming

On the first day of swimming  we were doing lessons  with one of the instructor’s. Gracefully getting into the water it was very warm. The instructor  told the group to do rocket arms without breathing to the end and back. Waiting in the line I was watching my friends going to the end and back. I was next I put up my rocket arms and took a deep breath and the instructor held me and pushed my leg to the end of the pool.

On the way back I furiously kicked my legs and rotated my arms. Next we had to listen to the instructor and he said  to rotate our  arms with the flutter boards.I was first I took a deep breath and kick my legs and rotated my arms.

Swimming back  the instructor told us to get changed. Waiting for the teacher Mr Marks we headed back to school and had lunch.

After the game we went to the park where we played on the hard surfboard with the spring under it. It was very hard to control the surfboard because it was going from side to side. The sun went down so we started to head home.

We had dinner which was spaghetti bolognese. It was yum. Finishing off the last piece I was full. Then I went to bed and watched tv. Watching the last part of the movie I went to sleep. The next day we went back to Auckland and went home.When we got home we put our stuff inside and had a rest.

Kiwifruit

A kiwifruit like mine was shaped like a fat eye ball.  On the outside it looked like a hairy green field with heaps of grass. On the sides were brown little ovals, i think that was the part that came off the tree.

Slowly cutting the kiwifruit in half i looked at the inside. Looking in side the kiwifruit there looked like there were ants on the outside next to the white part. Next to the was the skin sometimes I like the skin sometimes I don't like the skin.

Eating the kiwifruit it tasted sweet and a little bit sour. Then I ate the skin it didn't taste like nothing.
I thought it tasted sour. Eating the kiwifruit I just ate the  rest of the half then put in the bin.

about me

Hi my name is Texas. I am in year 6 and also my class is a year 5 and 6 class. If we do good things good we get green cards into our little envelope, and the yellow card is for being silly a little bid, but the red card is for being really silly and if you get two you have to stay in with Mr Marks.

Coming back to school I never had a boy teacher before. At school some new people came into our class and i think some of them made friends. I like mostly playing on my net book like drawing and playing games.
