River Study

         A few weeks ago my class went to the Pohangina river. We tested the river by using the turbidity tube. The turbidity tube is a tube with magnets.I have algae and macroinvertebrates in my river. Followed by some facts and why we should have them.

This is mine.

My Mihimihi

In week three we created our mihimihis. A mihi is a maori way of showing who you are. This is mine.

Ko Te Mata te maunga

Ko Tukituki te awa

A Journey Through The Mind of Annalise

A few weeks ago our class started writing a story about ourselves. The stories we made a really good here is mine.

A journey through the mind of Annalise.

Take a trip inside my mind, were all things are wacky and all things kind.

At times my mind shuts down and I don’t know what to do but then it turns back on and I’m fine with what I do,

I have a dog and her name is Daisy. She sits on the cushions and that makes mum crazy but I think it’s funny.

I dream of a land called candy land full of chocolate and lollies and all things grand. I think I would build a gingerbread house  full of marshmallows and then every day of the year I would chomp a bit off my house.

I wonder if in the future there will be a lolly shop down every street, it would be a nightmare for my brother.

My hope is that everyone lived in peace and that in the future t.v’s would give you chocolate.

I can often be found  saying “I’m bored” to my mum and that makes her really annoyed.

When no one is watching I steal some cookies from the cookie box and then run into my bedroom and then munch them down until there,s nothing left.

This year will be the best year at Havelock North Primary because I have the teachers that I wanted and as a year 6 I hope to be happy.

Book review

In Fright Night, a Fright Night Idol competitor gets kidnapped so Geronimo Stilton has to find him.

In the beginning, Boris Von Cacklefur gets an urgent telegram saying that he is a finalist in the Fright Night contest.  He writes poems.  So the family heads to Horrorwood studios for the competition.

Geronimo Stilton also received a telegram saying he has been invited to be a judge of the contest.

At the studio, the Shivers Machine is how they measured the judge’s reaction to the competitors’ poems. String was tied to the judges’ tails and then into the machine. If one of the judges shivered the machine recorded the tremble and rated it from ‘slightly spooked’ to ‘fainting from fright’. At the end of all the rounds the person that frightened the judges the most was the winner.

Firstly, the announcer, Crystal Glamorosa, explained the rules of the competition then introduced the contestants: Brad Balladeer, Boris Von Cacklefur, Vera Versa and Lyrica Sonnetail. In Round One, Mouse Z and Squeak Rat did a ‘Rotten Rap’. Then the contestants had a go at trying to rap.

There are three rounds of competition and one of the contestants gets eliminated each round. Three suspicious things happen that made Geronimo suspicious, including the disappearance of Boris. Geronimo has to look for clues to find Boris on several movie sets: Forest of Fur, The Monster Detective and Egypt.

Once the mystery is solved, the competition can continue and the Fright Night Idol is found!

Why I like the book: It’s creepy and funny. And the poems made me laugh!

Who my favourite character is: Creepella Von Cacklefur.

My best friend Bob.

Once upon a time there were two guinea pigs named Brian & Bob. They loved playing I spy. But one day Bob was taken to a house where he could live. But while Bob was away Brian was really bored.
Today is Tuesday and Brian is still really bored. But then someone walks in. It's the guy who bought Bob. " Hello I would like a guinea pig". So the shop keeper gives him Brian. Brian is taken to a house where Bob is. And they live happily ever after.
The end.
