The Dog Show

It was Sunday morning. We were getting ready to go to the dog show. Before we got ready, my mum had to wash Jurra in the shower. Jurra left a lot of hair in there for me to pick up. I went into my room and got changed into some scruffy clothes. When everyone was ready, I-Jay told Jurra to get in the back of the truck. I-Jay got a bowl and filled it up with cold  water.

The dog show was in Hamilton. When we reached Hamilton, my dad said, “I will quickly go to the gas station, ” but I-Jay cried ,“ NO, go to the show or we will miss it.” I read the sign on the footpath. It said, “ Dog Show, ” and was pointing to the left, BUT....... my dad got lost. He was driving around in  circles like crazy, saying, “Where do I go - left or right?" I kept on saying, “Left,” until he turned left. Finally, our nightmare was over.

When we got there, Jurra jumped out of the truck and into the show ground. She was so excited to see all the bulldogs. Running into her new cage, she got comfortable, patiently waiting for her turn.

I was watching the other dogs go around the ring. Mum’s friend, Tui, and her dog were up next. Tui’s little puppy won five first prize ribbons because she stood up high and looked at the judges and she was clean and well groomed.

Making Poo

Getting the peanut butter out, my cousin, Pauline, slapped it into a tiny bowl.

She asked if I could get the chocolate bottle out. I replied, ’’Yes’’ and I grabbed the bottle tightly but it fell out of my slippery hand. We picked it up and squeezed it into the tiny bowl and heated it up in the microwave. Pauline said, ‘’Get Brent,’’ so I went to go get him.

When I went to get him, he asked, “Can we play hide ‘n-go-seek?’’

I told him, ‘’No. I can’t play. Come with me.“   

“Ok.”

“Come on, Brent.”

He ran up  and kicked me on the back. We grabbed a plastic bag. We put it in the bag, squeezed it into the bowl and made poo shapes.

Movie World

We have been learning to use personification in our writing.
It was a cold icy morning. We were off to the AMAZING EVENT OF MOVIE WORLD. When we arrived, we had to pass the amazing doors. The doors were welcoming everyone to Movie World.
The first ride I went on was the SuperMan Escape. I was just over it but I was bending down because it looked scary. We lined up in the line for about five or ten minutes. When we were at the top of the line, we hopped on the roller coaster, and we started to go for a little ride. Then there it was - the outside of the roller coaster but we stopped and SUPERMAN was there and  started to count. Ten… nine ……. eight …… seven ….. six…...five…….four…...three…...two…one.

We were off. We went up and down round and round and very fast. The ride finished. 
We went to the bat wing space shot off. We stood in the line for one hour and a half. It was boring. Finally, we were at the top of the line. We hopped in the seats. Batman said, “Get ready to blast off.” I went flying in the air. We saw the whole building of Movie World.

Winter

It was a cold morning. I saw a black sheep covered with white ice. It was doing something different to what I was doing. I was throwing snow at Urban.

The leaves crunched noisily under my feet. 
Crunch! Crunch! the noise of the leaf. 
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! is the noise they make.

The Frog

The  rain  poured  down onto the frog's

umbrella boat. The bright  yellow petals lay on dark water. A leaf sheltered a skinny green boat. A frog was hiding under a slippery bamboo.  

Swimming Sports

Yesterday we had our swimming sports at Ngaruawahia pools. It looked like glitter. Everyone swam like jets flying in the sky. They swam really great in the water. I did freestyle. I came 3rd, then we had morning tea. It was yummy. I did backstroke. I came 2nd, then the little kids came. They did ball race.

That the Chinese invented tangrams. Tangrams are 7 shapes formed into an object. I made a rabbit from my shapes.

First Day Jitters

Today is the first day of school in 2015. I am in Room 4. I am in Year 4. It was really scary coming to school this morning because I was going to be in a new classroom and I didn't know what it would be like.
Today is the second day, and I am feeling very happy, because I like it in Room 4. There are lots of computers and laptops. All my friends are in here. We might be allowed to play a game on the computer if we are very very good. We like to learn and we will learn a lot this year.
