GLEE ON THE SIMPSONS!

I was reading a magazine and there was an article that said Lea Michelle, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley are going to star on the Simpson's. The episode is called Elementary School Musical. This is the first episode of the next season. Lisa Simpson joins them at a performing arts camp for a good old sing-a-long. Here is a link to go and watch a premier of it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYchr_deIUA&feature=related

The Canterbury Earthquake

On Saturday at 4:00am an earthquake hit Christchurch. Unexpectedly the earthquake measured 7.1 on the Richter scale and was the same measurement of the earthquake in Haiti. Luckily only a few people got hurt, sadly 1 died from heart attack.

The extensive damage made houses collapse and buildings got split in two. At least 100,000 homes were damaged and about 450 need to be demolished. The roads buckled and buildings crumbled.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is my favourite celebrity. Her first appearance on TV was on Barney and Friends. Her best friend is Demi Lavato who also stared in Barney and Friends. They have done a movie together called Princess Protection Program. They both have their own program on YouTube and she is also on a show called Wizards of Waverly Place. I hope you like my paragraph.

Cross Country

Heart pumping, legs shaking, 10 year old girls were waiting at the starting line for cross country. "Are you nervous?” I asked Ashleigh. ‘’No," she replied. “I am, I hate cross country!” I moaned.

Mr Burt hit the clappers together and we were off! Pushing and shoving the girls ran down the field. Jogging, I started to cough, so I walked. Going out of the gate there was a big puddle of water. It felt cold in between my toes. Miss Glaze said, "Keep on going, you have a long way to go. "


Half way through the field and I am jogging. Ms Squires is filming me and Jay'Lee, so I start to go faster. I come past Mrs Barks and she starts to sing "Don’t stop Believing". I am coming up to the finish line, sprinting. “ Finally it is over!” I go and wash my feet. I never want to do that again.

Black Beard.

Black Beard began his pirating career in 1716, at the age of about 36. He was a ruthless man and terrorised the Caribbean seas striking terror in the hearts of the American colonies.

His menacing appearance had many people scared of him. His towering figure even made other pirates scared. He wore a crimson coat and his thick shaggy beard was braided to make him look even tougher. Armed with lots of pistols and knives, he looked like a crazy man. The fuses on his head made it look like smoke was coming out of his head. He really was frightening.

Rainbows End!!

"Shoal,wake up we are going to Rainbows End today!" Said my mum. It was 8:00 in the morning and I had just got up. Down stairs my Dad was having breakfast.
I had put bread in the toaster had made a Milo. Up stairs I got changed and excitedly waited for my Aunties to go and pick up Cree. Khaia’s friend Ava was coming too. We had to pick her up at Sylvia Park.
A few minutes later my Mum went into Pak ‘n’ Save to get some things for lunch. Into the boot goes the shopping and we are off. Rainbows End was coming up and it was an exciting feeling because there was a new ride, THE INVADER!!!

My Dad paid for us and our first taste of Rainbows End was the Pirate Ship! It swung back and forth giving me a funny feeling in my stomach. On the swing down could feel my insides going one way and my body going the opposite way down towards the ground. After going on it twice, the thrill of the ride had worn off. Walking out of the entrance to the pirate ship, we saw my Dad and Khaia at the top of the Fear Fall, they were about to come down. I wondered if Khaia was scared of how high up she was. We left and all you could hear was Khaia screaming her head off.

My aunties and I headed off to the Log Flume, we passed the tempting candyfloss shop on the way. Hopping into the log boat I felt wobbly because it kept rocking side to side. The best part of that ride was going into the entrance of the cave which is covered by a small waterfall. I thought we were going to get wet from the waterfall but it suddenly stopped just as we came into the cave. I didn’t manage to stay dry, there was a little bump which made the boat hit the water, hard. And I got wet.

When I heard about the INVADER ride, my first reaction was I wonder if it’s similar to the Fearfall. It turned out that the Invader gives you the same queasy feeling as the Fearfall. It feels like your falling in mid air. My cousin and I thought it was so great that we went on it four
times.

“Lets go on the Roller coaster! It looks like lots of fun!” I exclaimed.
“Come on then, lets see if it is as good it looks.” my Aunty replied.
Pulling down my neck brace, I sat in my seat next to my Aunty Jackie. Her face looked worried. I think she was nervous. The roller coaster felt like you were being pushed and shoved by a huge crowd of people. By the end of the ride my head was not very sore so we went on it seven
more times!

Soon enough, after many more rides it was time to go. We packed up our things and headed off home after a long day of playing and having fun. I can’t wait until next year when we will hopefully go back!

Immersion Assembly.

I walked into the hall for Immersion Assembly, thinking "What is our topic for this term is?" We sat down behind RM 14. The hall was buzzing with chatter."Te Na Kotou Tamariki Ma" shouted Mr Burt. Assembly had just begun. Mr Burt showed us what our topic was. "Mighty Mariners" Shouted the school. He showed us where he had travelled in the holidays. "I went from Auckland to America" then a map came up on the screen with a yellow line showing the destination.

" Give it up for Team 1!" They did an animation of the seven waka's. My favourite was team 3 because they threw out chocolate coins and shot confetti out in the air using guns. What a fun Immersion Assembly, i am waiting for what next term is holding
