We are learning the skills of rugby league.
Today in Rugby League the coach taught us a bunch of skills. We learned how to side step which is when you are on the side and you are stepping to the other side. We also learned how to goose step which is when you are skipping and then do a side step after you skip. We also learned how to score a try which is when you are holding the ball with both hands and make the ball touch the ground if you make it fall its a knock on! Then we did a spin which was when we run and then we spin around.
I had a lot of fun!
I am a Year 8 student at Saint Patrick’s School in Auckland, New Zealand. I am in Room 8 and my teacher is Mrs Dines.

First Hunt
First Hunt by Amanda Jackson
WALT write a letter to the main character in the book.
To: The Main Character,
I wonder how you felt when you saw you that the pup was stuck in the trap that you were supposed to make for the animals you were catching? Did you feel Sad? Angry? Happy? or Surprised? I would not like to lose my pet if I had one. I would feel sad. I also wondered how many pigs and turkeys you caught , was it enough for the whanau? Did you feel great that you were going for your first hunt? I hope you had fun. Did you enjoy it? I did it was a fantastic book! If I went Hunting It would feel exciting and amazing to go there . My favourite part in the book was when you caught forty turkeys and I hope that happens to me when I go hunting. You are a very lucky person and I wondered what it felt like to go hunting it looks really exciting.

Mini beasts- Scorpion Inquiry
WALT ask questions about Mini beasts. We had to come up with open questions we didn't know the answer to.
I know I have created a open question because when you have an open question the answer has to be a full sentence and a closed question is an one word answer.
These are my questions that I came up with..
Food: What do Scorpions eat?
Habitat: Where do Scorpions live
Look: How Body parts are on a scorpion?
Predator: What is a Scorpions Enemies?
Life cycle: What is a life cycle of a scorpion?

Saturday Sleepover
Saturday SleepoverWALT to use our plan to make a recount.
My cool, cute, cousin and absolutely, amazing aunt came to my house to have fun on a Saturday night for a sleepover. I was excited when I heard they were coming. Have you been to a sleepover before? They came for something important and then they ended up having a sleepover which was cool!
On Saturday My cousin and aunt came to my house. The first thing we did was draw. My cousin drew a picture of Elsa and she also colored her picture too. I drew a picture of me! “It didn't look like me though”
Before long, my sister, my cousin and I ate crackers with tuna on top it was yummy! Then we watched tv. We watched Anastasia: The movie. Then I went on the computer to play games like friv and also watch videos with my cousin.
Before we went to sleep we watched Captain America The Winter Soldier. My favorite part in the movie was almost the whole movie because it was really funny and cool. I was very tired while I was watching the movie. Then we went to sleep.
After the sleepover I felt relieved and I learnt how draw a cool picture of myself. I think that it was the best sleepover I have ever been to.

WOW! What Wonderful Wedding!
WOW! What wonderful wedding!!
Have you been to a wedding before? Last year it was my cousins wedding at church. We went there to pray and celebrate my cousins marriage. My family and other cousins came to the wedding too.
First we went to the church. My heart pumped of excitement and joy. We were praying and clapping for my cousin and her husband. I felt happy and glad. My cousin looked very, very, very, stunning and posh.
Joyfully we went to eat. We ate at a place that was right next to the church. My heart was pumping of craziness. We had to eat after my cousin and her husband came back from finishing taking pictures at a beach that was not far from the church. I was there too because I was the flower girl.
As time was ticking we were saying goodbye to our family. I was so, so, so, hypo after the wedding. My head was filled with happiness.
After the wedding I felt remarkable and also proud of my cousin. It was also sad because my cousins mum passed away from cancer so she wasn’t there for her. It was still the coolest day I remember because my cousins wedding was very, very, very fun!!!

Room 5's experiment
Room 5’s experiment.
WALT write a recount about the experiment we did on Monday.
On Monday the junior school children like Room1 and Room4 went to the teacher’s car park. It was a sunny day when we got there. We went there to build habitats for our experiment.
First the teacher’s were talking to us about the experiment we are doing they brought materials for us to feel like rocks, ice cream container, leaves, papers, cloth, a bucket, a rubber tile, and a wooden tile. I only felt two materials, a cloth and a rubber tile. The rubber tile felt smooth and the cloth felt soft.
Next the teacher’s were setting up the materials. Then we had to pick which habitat would be best for the mini beast’s. I picked the leave’s for the mini beasts to live in. The habitats were behind the arts shed.
After that the teacher’s said that we had to wait for Friday to see the result of the habitats for the minibeasts. I felt really excited about it because the experiment was really awesome.
Finally we went to class and talked about what happened. Going to the carpark was a fun and a great idea, Room 5 and I felt happy.!
