Pet day moring.

Today at Yaldhurst it is pet day. That is when we can bring our pets and put them up for judging. We can also bring a pet rock to a soft toy. I brought a soft toy but no live animal. We also mack ether a sand sculpture or vegetable sculpture. I maed a vegetable sculpture it is meant to be a barbeque but it didn't work that well because the legs and the top fell of. here is a photo of it.
some of my friends made a car and a crab. We also get to participate in a hobby horse race.

Book character day.

Last Thursday at Yaldhurst school it was book character day because it was book week.  I came as a Piratet and one of my friends came as his is 10 years. He said that he will be a soccer player and that there will be books written about him. Here are some photos. One of my favorite one is the school was someone that was Thanos.

Hooked on books.

This week is hooked on book week. That means every day we get a new book. The first day we got a book cooled Liars and Jack Heath is the author. It is about a boy who made a troth app that tells if you are telling the truth. The book that we got on Tuesday is cooled Larf you head of 4 ever and yes it is spelt that way. It is a book that has three funny stories in it.

The book we got today is cooled the goldfish boy. It is about a boy that is a germaphobe. and a weird mystery happens. 

Writing.

The past week in Rimu for writing we have been doing Traditional Fairy Tails. Yesterday and today in my group we learning how to put direct speech into our sentences. We had to look through all the sentences and put the correct speech marks, commas, question marks exclamation marks. Here are some of them.

"I know what I want for my birthday", said Tina, "A brand new car".

"Run!" shouted Sally, "The dog is after us"

"Is that my bag?" asked Daniel, "I thought I’d lost it"

Saling.

Today in rimu we had to write a recount about our sailing day. Here is my story.

On the Friday the 2nd of November most of the class went salling and it was really fun I was looking ford to it ever since I had known that we were going. There was about 1 or 2 people that werent there. The bus left at about 9:00, the lake that we went to was really close so it didn't take long to get there. When I looked at the water it was as blue as the sky.

The first thing we did when we got there is we put our bags down on some tapolines and then we all sat down and listened to the people there. I think they just talked about safety and stuff like that I can't really remember much. Then they showed us how to rig the boats.

I can't really remember it step by step but the first thing we had to do was get a buddy, my buddy was Eben. then when the person told us to go and find a boat we ran strat to a nice read one that we had our eyes on since we saw it.  When we got there Eben stayed at the boat and I ran to get a mast, ruder and a center board and a stick that I can't remember the name of that we we need to put the mast up.

When we had put the boat together we all went back and listened to the person and he said that we had to practice how to sit down on the side of the boat and move the rudder. Then we had to practice how to make the boat go faster and slower. All you have to do is pull a piece of rope that is throw about 3 pulley senstime things I can't remember the real name and that makes the boat go faster and slower.

Then the people in motor boats got some of the sail boats and puned them across the water and to a little place where the puneed them on the beach thing and then we all had terns going in it. Even though I have been sailing before it is still a little hard. what I was coming back into the land I started going as fast as a slithering snake.

But after a while the wind started to pick up and 2 people capsized.

And one of the people that capsized was Eben and he cut his leg and. Then we went sailing for a bit more and then we had to take the boats apart and put the bits back in the placeres that we got them but the mast we had to but is the containers. Then we got on the but and whent back to school.

In summary, I felt excited at the start of the day because I have only been sailing once and it was really fun. At the end of the day, I felt, sad and disappointed because we had to leave and I made so many fun memories.

Maths.

This week in my maths group we have to finish these slides. I have only done a few slides but here is one of the ones that I have to do. 

For this slide, you need 2 people because it is a game. I just did it with my Self because there was nobody to do it with.

Recount.

For the past 2 weeks in Rimu, we have been doing recounts. One of the recounts that I have done is the one about athletes. The bit that was hard writing it is probably that I haven't really written many recounts. When we had finished writing it we had to go a buddy and read each other's one and then say what we think can be improved. I had to put more description in. Then before we blog it we have to present in it a cool way. Here is mine.
