Knock Down Tenpin Bowling

On Sunday me, Oska,Oliver and Kaya went to tenpin bowling. Once we got there dad paid and the person gave us our shoes and we got started. Kaya started. Oska went second. Oliver went third and I went last. On my first go I got a strike and on my second to last go was also a strike. I was amazed. After our 30 minute game we had chips. Dad gave us 6 tokens and two dollars. Oska went to Animal kasier. Well I did something sneaky. I went deal or no deal. I won 50 tickets. WOW! Since my luckier score I played again but I only won 23 tickets. Since I was greedy I went to one more game and lucky me, I won 50 tickets [I did not hijack it {I am to young}and I asked Oliver if he wanted to combine tickets and he said yes so I gave him my tickets and went to Oska. So we went to the ticket eater and me and Oliver had 143 tickets well Oska went bozom when he saw the number so we spend all our tickets and we went home.

The Wave Pool

On Friday we went to the pools with my  brothers Tama,Toru. It was a wave pool. After an hour the waves came on and it went really fast so we had to go on to a tub. A tub is like a donut that you can go down a slide it go really fast. One time I went down with the tub I fell off the tub and then my brother came down and kicked me. It was sore. When I got to the top of the slide, the diving board was open and I was the first one there. On my first jump I did a front flip into the pool and it was SORE! and my back was all red and we had to go up a really hard step it was all blue. My next bomb as big but my big brother went higher then mine, but the next bomb that I did it went high like my brothers. Then my brother went to the spa. When he got there I went to the spa too an I made a friend. He came from Rotorua and he is really good at doing bombs that go really high that the splash touches the roof. We had pizza then we had to go back into the pool and then the bombing was closed but the waves came on. I felt  happy because we had a great time at the pools.

Italian pizza.

On Friday  me and my family went to an Italian restaurant. My dad opened the door. I heard the rush of the noisiest sound I had heard in my day .Then I smelt pizza and pasta all together. Soon we were at a table ordering drinks.This is what I had for drink: one orange juice. My sister had an apple juice. For starters we had cheese on bread. We always have that.A few minutes later I had finished my juice and popped the last bread crust into my mouth. For mains I ordered a pizza. It was called Forest. While we were waiting I bit something and my wiggly tooth started to bleed. I said, "excuse me for a sec..." I rushed to the bathroom.I looked in the mirror. One two ...three!I had pulled my tooth nearly free.I tried again. One two three .It did not come out so I pulled a little bit harder and it came out.For a few seconds I just stood there doing nothing.Then I rushed out the door back to the table where  were I was siting.I told my mum and my dad and my sister my tooth came out.They said awesome!Soon we were going home.It was about 9 o clock.When we got home I was sooooo tired because I had a long day.

The Evil Rabbit.

My rabbit is really evil,

A week ago she dug a hole in the garden and ran FREE!

At first my mum called my grandma and said:"Come over! The rabbit's gone!" This all happened when I was at school so my mum told me in the evening all about it.

When I saw her shopping list it said: crackers, milk,cheese and RABBITS!?

That really made me freak out and worried. In the end, she was herded back into her cage and had a quite severe punishing. I think she is the most cheeky rabbit in the world.

Harry's Holiday

 On the Easter Holidays me, Mum, and my two sisters went to my cousins for Easter. It was a long drive      
there and I felt sick from eating so much chocolate. Finally we got there and I was feeling so tired. I don"t know that my sisters are tired but I was.
The first thing we did was sprinting into the Bush. When we got to the water fall we drank flowing
water.  Then we saw fresh water Crayfish we planned tomorrow that we'd catch them. 2 hours later after
our big adventure we went back to their House and had dinner.

Then we went down the escalator and we were in the Sky Tower. After that we went to the counter and got the tickets. Then we got a photo and went into the lift. When we got out of the lift we looked out of the window and my cousins were scared and Liam made them walk over glass and they didn't want to so Liam pushed them onto the glass.

I wonder where I am going to go? Why don't you have a guess and I will let you know after I get back !

ALOHA NIGHT!!!

 I was so excited and nervous about Aloha night that I almost wet my pants. When the whole school was there we got in to lines and one by one we went up to the court to do the party rock dance. Then our class did the Samoan group performance. My mum gave me $60.00. I ran of with my friend Jack and we had lots of fun. We got lots of glow stuff and we stuck them to our scooters. We went to the darkest part in the school where stuff looks like starts moving around. Then we got some food. It was so good  but we had to go because I had a birthday party in the morning but I loved it.

My awesome weekend

After the awesome Aloha I went home with my brother and played with my Lego and ate LOADS of sweet, gooey lollies. After a hour of Lego, me and my brother had to....brush our teeth, have a shower, get into my boxers and go to bed. 12 hours later I got up and woke Oska up. Oska gets cranky when I don't wake him up! I gave dad a hug and went to play Minecraft. I made a television and Herobrine with a light saber!  When it was Oska's turn he made a 3rd layer of his tree hut with diamond, iron ingot and gold ingot. 9 minutes later Dad came in and shut the computer down and went to the TV. And we pretty much stayed there for the whole day. On Sunday I went to Grey Lynn park and biked all along the park.When we had finished me and Oska saw Luca. I played soccer with him and went to his house and bounced on the tramp. Sadly,1 minute later Dad came and said "we have to go now" so I said good bye to Luca and went home.

 by Joel

ALOHA NIGHT

Guess what? Aloha night that's what. Guess who's taking care of the umu? What,  you don't know what a umu is? Well an umu comes from a country called Samoa. To make it you need pumpkins, onions, kumura most importantly you need the pig or else it would of just been anything except an umu. Guess what else? Guess who is the new Samoan group, Room 14 that's who.We practice almost every day because it's nearly Aloha .We have lots of items at Aloha which are very interesting. We have songs and dancing. We are also doing a dance called Party Rock,  It's very fun but it's the whole school doing the dance then it will be even more fun.So we are doing all of this on awesome Aloha night.        
By Kahma

It's Almost the Amazing Aloha Night

Guess what's happening this Friday night?

Aloha is coming to Grey Lynn School and everybody is doing a performance!

Room 14 brought in pumpkins and onions? For what you may ask?
Well it's for the Umu...what's an umu we hear you ask?
This is how you pronounce umu - ( oo-moo)

Well, an umu is....a traditional way of cooking from a country called Samoa. The food cooked is a pig, pumpkin, onions, and some kumara. But in Samoa they would include other foods.

The cooks dig a hole and the food is cooked inside the earth. The earth becomes the oven.

At Aloha there will also be lots of games, a raffle, some bands are performing, Samoan group and bollywood group, candy floss, glow sticks, and lights.

Every class is responsible for running and shop(gazebo).

Our class is responsible for the umu and we are also the Samoan Group for the night.

We hope to see you at our school for some awesome, amazing, astonishing, amusing, addictive, astounding Aloha fun !

KFC Ad

On Saturday me, my sister and my friend went to the park. We were going to do the KFC advertisement. First we found a place to put the blanket. Next a man came and asked "Would you like to be on behind the scenes?" The man interviewed us an he said"You've never tried KFC!" When we said we never had he was amazed !
There was a big, sort of crane with a camera on it. There was a very long table with white and red checked tablecloth. On it there was salad and KFC.
We had a fun time because we did some really crazy, limbo stuff. This was the fun part !

My new baby Cousin

On  Monday my Aunty had a baby his name is Rory Patrick Weedon. He is so cute he is a week old today. He has really chubby legs and cheeks. When he cries he sounds like a high pitched  police siren. It's so funny. I am the oldest of the cousins. He has really big feet and hands and blue eyes just like me !  His big brother, my younger cousin, is only 2 years old and he is a great big brother. They look so cute together.  I love them.

Getting a kitten

On Saturday Me, mum. dad and my little sister went to get a kitten from the SPCA.  It took along time
to get there but we finally got there. We walked though the cages outside but all those cats and
kittens had the flu so we moved on to the cats inside that didn't have the flu. There were so many
cute kittens. One was so cute but mum and dad were at another cat so I went over to that one. I turned
around to the another cat but someone was buying it already so we went to another cat. It was a boy.
He was really cute so we bought him we called him Tiger because he was a tabby that was grey and
had black stripes I thought his ancestor was a snow leopard an ocelot and a tiger. Oh, and also a tabby. He has to stay in the laundry for three weeks but sometimes we go and check on  him and let him in the kitchen and the lounge. He is so cute and I couldn't believe he was ours.

Resilience

In Room 14 we have been learning about the values of Grey Lynn School. We call them the 3 R's...

RESPECT     RESILIENCE     RESPONSIBILITY


We talked about resilience today ! We talked about how we are like a rubber band...we can be stretched and pulled but it always snaps back.

We came up with sayings like:
We bounce back !
I am a rubber band !


Stay tuned for more examples of resilience.


Do you show resilience in your life? Share your stories with us !

Raddish and Pickles.

This is Pickles and Raddish in the funniest picture ever.
I think they like each other but sometimes it gets out of hand and they get scared.....
They like to lick each other and have fun but it all works out and no one gets hurt except me or mum getting scratched or bitten by Raddish [the black rabbit].
They're a lovely bunch and they're so playful.

Swimming Sports Review By Ina

On Friday it was swimming sports.We were so happy we get to go to the big kids swimming sport for the first  time. We had to walk to the bus. After that we went to the back of the bus. It was so cool because  got a window next to  me so I can see. When we got there we had to walk to the pool but it was slow walking in a long line. We got to the pools it was not packed so we were happy and hot. We went to the side of the pool with the other people but it was wet so... I sat on my bag by James, Toby, Leo, Theo and the teacher sat on the chair. So lets get back onto swimming sport. First the year 6 went, then the year 5, then the year 4s. I came first. It was a really and fun day ! I cannot wait until next year !

Futsal Madness

We had the talented Felipe and Juliano from Futsal Auckland visit our school for the last 4 weeks. They taught us the basic skills to Futsal and on our last session we actually got to play two games. 


Futsal is awesome. We all had fun and it was super cool having Felipe and Juliano teaching us. They were always giving us high 5s for doing a great job !


A lot of us had to show resilience when playing as we didn't know the rules, tripped and fell, banged into people and also lost. But we got over it and enjoyed our time. 


Thanks Futsal Auckland
