The Minstrel

Here you go Miss Garland here’s my 2 dollars to go to the Minstrel! “ Thank you honey.” she replied. “YAH” I can’t wait to go and sing along with some of the kids from Parkvale school. As the kids started to line up I couldn't wait to go into the hall and see people perform songs for us. When I went in the hall, I heard kids laughing and as soon as my ears picked up that sound I knew that I was going to enjoy this Minstrel. After I took my first step in to the hall the way that I was feeling was basically indescribable, I was so happy it felt like......... um …......... it felt like I was grinning from ear to ear. Moments later the Minstrel people started telling the kids including myself about all of the main things to do and take when you go out fishing!!! First of all they told us some funny stuff about what they are going to do throughout the show. They said that when you hear the words “ Okey Dokey” You reply “ Hokey Pokey” and then you mouth does not say a word, squeak or a peep! 30 seconds after that the Minstrel man said the words “ OK Boo Boo.” 1 second after that everybody in that hall including myself started to laugh like crazy!!!! I heard some of the teachers laughing so I guess that the Minstrel man was pretty funny. The first song that he sang was about “ Seafood” He asked us how do you say seafood in Maori? He pointed to a girl named hope and she said that seafood in Maori is “ Kaimoana”. She gave the right answer so the Minstrel man called her up to the front of the hall and asked Hope the same question again and she gave the correct answer and that was “Kaimoana.” For giving the correct answer she got a prize and the prize was a poster that said “ Hiwi the kiwi goes fishing for the future”. She also got a sticker and on the sticker it said the exact same thing that it did on the poster. After that was over we gave her a great round of applause. As soon as she sat down the Minstrel man said “ Okey Dokey’ The School kids replied “Hokey Pokey” And their mouths didn’t say a word or peep or squeak, everything went silent. A few minutes later after the minstrel man talked to his wife about what they were going to do next. They decided to make us laugh and what they did made me laugh like I just had some with lot’s and lot’s and lot’s of sugar in it? The minstrel people put on a song and we had to clap to the beat. To make the kids laugh, every 3-5 minutes they stopped and we kept on clapping!!! They did that for about 15-20 minutes and then the man said “ Now, now kids settle down because now we are about to sing a song and in that song there will be a few hints for what to do and take when you go fishing. I can’t remember the words but I can remember two of the hints so I am going to tell you what two of them are! Number one is: To measure the fish when it’s cooler don’t forget to take the …...... can you guess what it is?? If you guessed a “ Ruler” you are correct. To measure the fish when it is cooler don’t forget to take the ruler!! Number two is: To keep the fish fresh and nice don’t forget to take some …...... can you guess what this one is?? If you guessed “ Ice” you are correct!! To keep the fish fresh and nice don’t forget to take some ice! Moments later the minstrel people started to sing a song for half an hour. “ HALF AN HOUR LATER” It was time to go back to class. Before we went the minstrel people said “ Kakita Ano” That’s Maori for “ Good Bye” I hope you liked this adventure about the minstrel so all I have left to say is “ Kakiti Ano” or “ Good Bye”.

Super Fly Guy Book Review

FLY GUY BOOK REVIEW

Title: Super Fly Guy.

Author: Tedd Arnold.

Characters: Fly guy, Buzz, Lunch lady, Boss, Schoolkids.

Rating: I rate this book a 10/10.

Age Level: I recommend this book for 6 years and over.

Fly guy is off to school with buzz, will he make trouble or will he save the day? The reason why I like this book is because it has lots of colourful pictures and big and bold writing so that people can read it easily and not have to wear their glasses. I also loved this book because the author has written it using the right amount of nouns and the right amount of verbs. This book would be awesome for kids 6-12 years. I chose this book because I found this book very colourful and bright.

Recommendation: Read this book if you are into cartoons. I would recommend this book for children 6-12 years old. If you can’t wait to read this book, what are you waiting for pick it up and read. If you are really interested in this book there are two other books in this series. Two of the books names are: “HI! FLY GUY.” and another one I know is called “ SHOO FLY GUY.”

      

Camp Interview

Although I didn't go to camp this is an interview that I did with my learning buddy Harrison.  

Gondwanaland Play Reflection

Room 20 Production Refection

On Friday the 24th of May it was room 20’s turn to do an assembly item.Our item was about “Gondwanaland”.

My part was the moa. A moa is part of the ostrich family. My lines were “First came the Maori and their giant Waka. They also brought with them some strange furry creatures like a small dog and an even smaller rat. The rat really likes the tuatara. The Maori they took a liking to us moa.-In fact they ate us all up now we’re extinct all gone.     

My favorite and funniest part of the play was when I was going on stage to do my part and my picture of a moa that Mr. Ford drew got caught on the handlebar. A few seconds later my ears picked up a sound of some little kids laughing and I went a little bit red.

The thing that I think I improved was that I had a much clearer voice than our practice.

This play is about how we got here and how NZ formed. 180,000,000 years ago NZ looked very, very different than it does today. Because 180,000,000 years ago NZ was joined together with other continents like: Australia, Antarctica and India. All the continents slowly moved away from each other about 6 cm every year. New Zealand was only a little piece of land. Then very slowly as the continents moved away from each NZ got wider and it was called NZ. And that's how we got here.

My Cube

                                                       

                                                       MY CUBE!
              If I covered my cube with gold paper I would need:
             
                                     Left side 5x5=25 
                                     Right side 5x5=25
                                     Top 5x5=25
                                     Bottom 5x5=25
                                     Other right side 5x5=25
                                     Other left side 5x5=25
      
        All together I would need 25+25+25+25+25+25=
        The way I can work this out is: 20+20+20+20+20+20=120.
        Then 5+5+5+5+5+5+=30.
        After that I will add up the 2 totals that I got and that will be                     
        my answer! 30+20=50+100=150 square cm!
       
Volume
Inside my cube there is enough room for 125 square cm lollies or blocks.
