Q Rabbits

Q Rabbits

I went to Q Rabbits on sunday 5th of July I went with my Mum and Dad ,two sister, Dora, Tauola and the last one my little brother Tini.

Me and my family went to Q Rabbits because it was Danny little cousin named Amira’s birthday

and they invited me and my family.  Me and Danny

are best friend’s. Some time’s I go to Danny’s house

and play with him and when I go to his house some time and when I’m at his house Amira is there but it doesn't mean I don’t play with Danny .

We went to Q Rabbit’s at 5.30  in  the evening.  

It was my first time going there.  When I went inside it was awesome, I saw the biggest bouncy

slide in the whole place it was so cool that I ran to  

bouncy slide and went up four times.  

There were so many things to play on, they also had a game place where you collect the balls in a basket then put them into the ball shooter.  After a while playing everybody had a feed.  I had pizza KFC a piece of pork.

After eating and having a break I went back to play at the playground it was so much fun. As it was getting late a man came around telling us it was time to because they were closing.  We went home and as we left we all said thank you and we got a party pack given to us it was cool.

The End

show

On Saturday I went to the show call the Emperor's new clothes.   I went with my Mum,

Dad and sisters.  There were heaps of people there.  The first the show took a while

to start.  Then the show started there was this man on stage and he said to everybody

sing along making silly sounds. .Like what sound does a cow make then everybody went moo.   

Soon the show started with these two robbers, who looked like pirates. They said they wanted to be good.  They pretended to be tailors people that make clothes.  They heard that the Emperor was looking for some new clothes. The Emperor was kind of evil selfish because all he could think about was his owns clothes.  If the Emperor ran out of money he would call someone special to find the money for his clothes.

After the Emperor was dressed by the two robbers, he went to show everyone his new clothes and people were staring at him.  The Emperor did not have any clothes on but he believed he was wearing a nice beautiful outfit.  After awhile the Emperor had realized he was just wearing a singlet and his boxer shorts.  Then the Emperor started to cry and then his wife started to sing I was born this way, and to be happy with the way you are.

I felt like I was watching a cartoon movie, I enjoyed .

                                

                                   The end

Today is Saturday I had no rugby game I was so happy to have a break. We have our monthly meeting for our rugby team at our coaches house Liz and James.  At 12.30pm together mates and parents  would meet to have a feed and hang out.

When everyone had arrived we started off with a Karakia which is a prayer.  Then the coaches said the team can have little time to play

a game we played a play fighting game, there were no girl’s

in my team so it was alright for me and my team to play wrestling.

After me and my team finished wrestling we also have the player of the month who gets a voucher of fifty dollars from Rebel sports. The player of the month was my teammate Jonathan, he was very happy when he received his prize, it was kind of funny because the coach said do a speech, Jonathan just said “Thank you.”

Next when everybody finished speaking especially my teammate named Viliami said a Maori prayer which is a Karakia. Then we all got up to dish our food, I ate pizza chicken, pink potato salad and one juice.  After that we all played for a bit, but then we had to leave because we had a show to go watch at ASB showgrounds.  I didn’t want to leave I was having so much fun with friends.

Science week

SCIENCE

It was week 10 of term 2, also Science week for Glenbrae students. All of the seniors rotated to different classes to learn different kinds of experiments. Lets get the week started.  

On monday we did science with Mrs Raj. So the first thing we did was naming water,ice and steam (States of matter). I can tell you what name you name them. Water is liquid,ice is solid and steam is gas and Water cycle. Mrs Raj made a cup of coffee and put a cup over the top of the cup that had the coffee inside of it. We waiting for five minutes then we removed the cup from the top of it. Inside the cup was little drops of water, called condensation. The droplets were from the steam that touched the top of the cup and made steam.

On Tuesday we did some more science with Mrs Parker. We were making

bread. The first thing we did was watch a picture and talk about it. We made bread. There were many ingredients, but I can’t name that much. After all the ingredients were added, we got into the kneading process. I didn’t get to do it, but I still watched them. They all had to push the dough down. When they had finished kneading, Mrs Card placed it into the oven for it to bake. Time went past then it was time to make butter. We made butter using cream and salt. What we had to do was put those two together and shake it until is was made into butter. We eat it with butter,and we made the butter by shaking it in the jrare.

                                             

My Inquiry

Today Glenbrae school did presentations and my  presentation  is a secret messages ,you have to use the Semaphore flag alphabet so you know what the sentences are. The sentences was "Room seven is the best."
Semaphore flags were used when people are too far away to hear, and were how people communicated during war.
Some people got it right and some got it wrong. The silly stuff they wrote we just ripped it apart.


Here is Vainikolo presenting our code.
