Ice Cream Comets

“Have you ever made icy cold comets”
Room 13 made comets made out of icy cold ice cream with a cone. We made our comets out in our classroom bay.

Our materials were colourful sprinkles, ice cream cone, ice cream and crumble biscuits.
Staring at the material looks just like I want to eat it. “Outta Space”Ms King shouted, I knew it, it was our team.

Watching Ms King scooping the ice cream onto my hand, I felt to nervous. “It’s too cold” I nervously said. Walking to Whaea Janeille to get our cones, I first had to first walk and get some sprinkle. It looked delicious.

Chocolate ice slurped down through my fingers, “I need tissues for my hand!” I shouted. Licking the ice cream was so delicious and cold.Yum.

Looking at the sticky mess at the floor I just wanted to clean it up. Ice cream was melting and dripping down my fingers, I sucked it all in my mouth. “I want to be the last one finished” I said.

Sticking out my tongue, I gobbled all the biscuits up. Chewing it softly, Ms King said “Whoever is finished has to go and pick up ten pieces of rubbish.” I just continued to eat it slowly.

“Yay, I’m the last one” I whispered. “Hurry up” Ms King said, but I still ate a bit slow. “Finished” I shouted. I had to run inside.

Running inside I saw my class talking about what we made. I was thirsty. I went and had a drink. I really like ice cream comets.

Alien Snot

“Have you ever seen alien snot, I can tell you some information.” “Yuck”, alien snot, Room 13 made fake alien gooey snots. We were making green smelly snots.

Our materials were 1 cup of cornflour,a little bit of water and green food colouring. We also need a bowl,spoon. Only three ingredients, easy.

We made our one with groups of four or five.Step 1, we made 1 cup of cornflour then stir.Step 2, a little bit of water into the bowl.Last step,is the green coloured food. Mix them all together and then it’s gooey.

Putting everything back was just fun. Washing my hand I could not get all the snot on my hand.Now I had to clean up with the other boys till it’s clean.While we were cleaning up the rest had to do some works.

Immersion Assembly

Hooray! It is finally Immersion Assembly a new topic.It is my favourite school assembly.

I was sitting in our school hall on the floor listening to Mr Burt talk. Mr Burt introducing the topic, I was excited to hear it. The topic was Outta This World.

Teachers dressing into ballerina I thought they had a movie for us to wacth. Team One’s dress was so cool.My best dress was Team Four.

My best item was team five. Team Five’s item was a star wars movie. Their was sort of like the real one but with their own faces.

I think this might a little bit like last year.Last years one was Mighty Manners.Mighty Manners is about the planet we are living at so far.

I’m so exited to write and learn more things about planets just like an astronauts teacher.I just want to stay in this topic because it is great.My best term.

I hope to learn who was the first one to stand on it.
The thing I really want to learn about Jupiter.My last planet the sun.

Space Shuttle

With sweat pouring off my forehead, I walked into the space ship looking around at all the cool stuff. I sat on the chair nervously ready for ignition. Shaking with fear I was exited to explore to space.

Preparing to launch I shake and shudder like I will die. I felt like I’m nearly heating to death but I had a very bad stomach shuddering. Waiting to explore I looked out the window to my family.

Counting down,3,2,1, the sound came, Ignition!, I was shaking and screaming.”It’s going too fast”I shouted.Trails of smoke making lines all the way to the sky. Hearing the fire stop, the rocket cut through the sky, ”We’re in space” I excitedly said.


In space I think it is going to a great time.I hope I will learn more about planets.

Warrios

Did you watch the league game Warriors playing against Manly Sea Eagles Sunday night?

Getting ready to play in the grand finals, pride and passion set in for our mighty warriors. Singing the National Anthem you can see how nervous they were getting shaking their leg. Even the Manly Sea Eagle team were a bit nervous for this match.

Manu Vatuvei super speed to the try line I was so happy that they have scored a try.Losing against the Manly Sea Eagles I try to cheer up. Warriors lost but I was proud of them that they have did a bit well.

That was a game but they done a bit well. I wish they can do better next time when they play another game.

Sonny Bill Williams

Singing the national anthem Sonny Bill Williams was ready to challenge the wallabies. Running to the try line he passed the ball to his teammate.Dan Carter kicking the ball he ran and caught it.

Aussie Rules

“Yes,we are playing Aussie rules today”Do you have AFL training every Thursday?Well room13 does.We have coaches that are really good at playing Aussie rules.

Blustery winds blew into our faces.I was frustrated with the weather was changeable.As we tried to play, the wind got stronger and stronger like a cyclone, we could barely begin.

When the wind was calm and still we learnt some skills like a drop punt and bouncing the ball. These skills was to help us learn how to play Aussie rules.
Our coaches were making sure that we were doing it properly. The sun came out
and it was time for a warm up called the jumper bumper.

Running and jogging we played kick baseball. The game got boaring as we had to switch over.When I caught the AFL ball I started to cheer up.The game got really fun and exciting.

The day was a cool day. When the training was finished, we had learn
t so much through the afternoon.

Smoked chicken

Ingredients

• oil for greasing the tins

• 225g plain flour, plus a little for rolling

• pinch salt

• 115g reduced-fat spread (I used Logical lite)

• 2 teaspoons oil

• 2 spring onions, sliced

• 1/2 red onion, diced

• 4 whole sweet peppers, chopped (see Fantastic Finds)

• 150g smoked chicken, diced

• 2 eggs

• 1/2 teaspoon mixed dried herbs

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 cup grated edam cheese

You can make these tasty tarts in one large flan dish instead of the individual ones, but you will need to increase the cooking time by 10-15 minutes.

You will need 4 x 12cm tins or 1 x 24cm tin. Loose-bottomed flan dishes are a good buy for making these types of flans.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Lightly grease the tins.

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl and make the pastry by rubbing in the reduced-fat spread to form breadcrumbs. Stir in enough water to make a soft dough – this is about 3 tablespoons. Bring the dough together with your hands and knead for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface. Divide the pastry into 4 even-sized pieces. Roll out each piece of pastry slightly larger than the tins. Use the pastry to line each tin, gently pressing the pastry against the side of the tin so there are no gaps between pastry and tin. Trim any overhanging pastry away using a sharp knife to leave a neat edge, and discard the leftovers. Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to rest the pastry. This helps to minimize shrinkage during baking. Bake blind (see below) for 15 minutes. Remove the beans. This is now ready for the filling.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat the oil in a pan and soften the onions. Add the peppers and cook for a further few minutes. Add the chicken and cook for a final 3-4 minutes.

Divide the mixture between the cases and press down slightly. Mix the eggs together with the milk. Season with herbs, salt and pepper and pour over the chicken and vegetables. The liquid should stop just below the pastry line.

Sprinkle with the cheese and cook for 25 minutes until golden brown, firm to touch and lightly puffed up. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tins.

Serve with a tossed green salad.

Badminton

Room thirteen did badminton every Thursday, if you don ‘t know about Badminton I will tell you guys. Whizzing and whirring the shuttle soar spiraling accurately to the target. Donna the Auckland sport badminton teacher taught us how to serve the shuttle. “You guys must be careful for your racket or else you swing and then it hits somebody”, “yes” we answered. We learned the trick shot, it was a bit hard for me and my partner Vaifoa. He made a powerful hit to me and then I WHACKED !!! the shuttle with my racket to him and he got frustrating. “Stop” Donna shouted to us. The next step we did was forehand, it was a little bit hard for me.Back and forth I use great to acrruately hit the shuttle eye coordination. “Stop” she said again to us. And finally we get to play badminton soccer. That game is like tennis, but I thought it was like Hockey and it wasn't. When it was my turn I went straight out because I did not concentrate and keep my eye on the shuttle. Our highest score was Uili because he almost stayed on the game the whole time. When I hit it, it had a pinging sound. Badminton is a very fun sport to play because it is so easy. That was our day with Donna that day.

William Webb Ellis

The game of football was played at Rugby School from 1750 to 1869. The game had no fixed limit of players with enormous rolling mauls, caused many major injures.
During the game of football in 1823 a boy called William Webb Ellis caught the ball and started running with it to the other team’s goal post.”What is he doing?” one of his friend said as he looked at him running to the try.

And that is how rugby got to be a game.
