The worst birthday ever!!!!!!!!!! (Part 2)

As I still search the house for presents I start to get a bit sleepy until I spot a little parcel on the kitchen table. I stare down at the parcel and on it the little sticker says to Jessie from Grandma. Jessie was excited to  open the parcel  because every year on her birthday grandma would always get her some fancy shoes and 200$. But this year she only got an Apple and and fruit basket with only 5 dollars in it, She was devastated about her gift. Her parents weren't even home or even left a card or anything. After that she went outside and walked to her friends house but she wasn't there as well.

Moas: Add detail to the Beginnings, Middle and the End of a sentence.


Here is a movie we did of the Moas adding detail to a very simple sentence. I've learnt that you can turn 1 simple sentence into a detailed sentence. It also taught me how to write good and juicy sentences.

Year 5 & 6 camp Recount



Wednesday morning was the first day of our awesome year 5 & 6 camp for 2014!!! All the year 5 & 6 students will be there  except for the children that haven't paid our didn't want to come. Our camp group was called the Care Bears Zane and I were  the camp leaders for Care Bears. Our camp was at our school we had to sleep in tents on the school field.


The Care Bears  had kayaking on Thursday down at the beach With Mr Burt that was my favorite activity. I wasn't very good at kayaking but I tried it and then after one round or two I got the hang of it. I felt very nervous about trying single kayak but it turns out that I was  pretty good well not pretty good really good. The number one thing that Mr Burt told us was If you fall out of your kayak you must always keep a hold of your kayak  because it will keep you up on the surface.



Sleeping in a tent was fun but also very cold in the night especially early in the morning. In the tent with me were Ashley and Alyiah they were very talkative when it came to bedtime. Our tent was really messy and it smelt really funny. Our next door neighbors were Zane, Cyrus and I don’t know who the other person was. Everyone had to wake up really early in the morning and then we had to do jump jam that was actually really fun.

When it came to Wednesday I knew it would be and awesome year 5 & 6 camp because we had amazing and fun activities. I was very excited at camp. Being a camp leader was awesome. I really enjoyed camp spending time with friends teaching the Care Bears our dance.

Butterfly life cycle

This term class 6,7 and 8 has been learning about a butterflies life cycle. If you want to know how a butterfly is raised then read this, it will also give you some very interesting information about Monarch butterflies.

                                               Stage 1 & 2
First the  female monarch butterfly flies on to a swan plant and lays a hundred of eggs that look the size of a sesame seed, around 4 days later the egg has hatched and out comes a tiny caterpillar that is only 2 mls long WOW that’s tiny. 2 minutes after the newborn caterpillar has hatched it starts to eat the shell. ( the shell is very good  for the newborn caterpillars).
                                                                   Stage 3 & 4
Later that day the little caterpillar starts to munch on the leaves of a milkweed plant. As it munches on the leaves it starts getting bigger and bigger. A day went past as the caterpillar is still eating a few minutes later it starts to shed it’s skin. When a caterpillar shed it’s skin it’s like a new beginning to them.

                                                                  Stage 5 & 6

When the caterpillar is fat enough it turns into a cocoon and it stays in there for about 2 weeks.When it is past two weeks or more the cocoon starts to crack and out comes a beautiful monarch butterfly. After it comes out it’s wings are still little so it takes them 45 minutes or less to stretch out the wings and for the blood to go through.
