I played my violin in a trio and in a quartet with my sister Honor who plays the cello. Bessie played the violin and Caspian the cello in beginners trios.

A TINY BIT LUCKY-TOM GATES- BY L.PICHON

A Tiny Bit Lucky is about a boy who usually isn't very lucky. But in this book however he is a tiny bit lucky.

He is a school boy with a sister, Mum, Dad and a best friend Derek. He likes doodling and watching cartoons on TV, especially the Crazy Fruit bunch.

It is a great book because it is funny and has got cool drawings in it.

My favorite line is on the back of it when it says ''I think I'm allergic to my sister''.

I've read 2 of many books in this series I'm planning on reading more.

The myth of the volcano in Iceland

                                                                                                     
Once upon a time in Iceland there was a mean lady named katla  who was the boss a of the monks, and she had a pair of black undies that made you super fast.  Many people believed the mean lady was a witch.                                                                                                                                                                                                                   There was also a good working Shepard who rounded all the sheep up. But one day when the Shepard rounded up the sheep there was one missing, and the lady said that if he didn't have the sheep by the time she came back he would be punished.                                                                                                                                                    He was in a panic so he thought  quickly, he finally came up with something.

She didn't want anyone to know so she went to a volcano and slipped through a crack in the glacier in the middle of the  volcano.                                                                                                                                   http://youngadventuress.com/2013/10/legend-katla-volcano-iceland.html                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

         

MY MATARIKI STORY

A couple of years ago 7 All Blacks called Beauden Barrett,

Richie Macaw, Ma'a nonu, Kieran Read, Liam Messam, Wisaki Naholo and nehe Milmiskuter  had finished their rugby Korea and were traveling to France in a plane but something bad happened they crashed.  

They were so famous that they floated to heaven and became bright stars.  The 7 All Blacks only come out at winter because they shine at winter when they play.

They help people follow their dreams.  That is definitely how the 7 stars got there.

Paper Planes

 We watched the Australian movie Paper Planes, which was about a boy named Daniel who entered a paper plane flying competition  The next morning I was so inspired I decided to hold my own paper plane flying competition.  We marked out the distances down the corridor up to eight meters.  Everyone in our family tried to make the paper plane that could fly the furtherst.  I made many and some were my own design.  In the end, I won with my plane The Random Flyer. It flew the whole eight meters.

CHANGING A MAN IN THE ALL BLACKS

I am annoyed at the decision made by Steve Hansen (coach of the All Blacks) because he chose  Waisake Naholo instead of Charles Piutau

I think that Charles Piutau is better at catching, kicking and tackling. One big block buster (Julian Savea) is enough on the wings .

CHARLES PIUTAU    WAISAKE NAHOLO

Pattie recipe

Richie McCaw reaches milestone.

Against the Wallabies, Richie McCaw got a record for the most test matches ever played, reaching an amazing 142 caps.

Richard Hugh McCaw made his All Black debut in 2001 and is now 35 years old. Richie McCaw was born in Oamaru in 1979. He boarded at Otago Boys High School. 

I think the All Blacks are very lucky to have Richie in there team.

Going to have Steve Adams coaching me in nelson  

On Wednesday I went to nelson to be coached by Steve Adams.

On the way there we listened one of Michael morpurgo stories.

When we got to nelson we went shopping for some shoes for school because my old shoes were worn out.

On Thursday I woke up very early for me because we needed to be there at 8.00

After a lot of instructions we got there.

Inside the huge gym I shot some hoops with my friend.  

My favorite part was when Steve Adams signed my t-shirt.

TRASH

By Andy Mulligan

This was a great book, and super exciting.

The book was about three boys from Manilla named Gardo, Rat and Raphael who lived at the Behala dumpsite.  They were very poor and they had to collect certain types of rubbish to make money in order to survive. Life was very tough for them.

But, one day they were very fortunate and found a wallet with money inside.  Not only was there money but there was also a note with some strange numbers on it that they didn’t understand.  Quickly it became they were into something deep because the police were after the same note.  The police were mean and not the good guys we think that they should be, especially to poor dumpsite boys.  The boys go on a dangerous mission to discover what the note means, and try to understand understand why the police want the note so badly.

I liked it because it was an exciting book to read with lots of risks that the boys took.  It made me think that not everyone is so lucky in life.  And that some people that have lots of money and power can be greedy and only look after themselves. You should read this book!

The Beginner's Guide to Rugby.

By  Aaron Cruden

An instructional book on the basics of rugby.

Aaron Cruden give basic tips on how to, kick, pass, step and tackling plus food you should eat before a game.

He also gives how to treat bad  injuries.

He gives rugby facts and some of his heroes and stars.

Aaron grew up in Palmerston North and when he got older he played for Manawatu most people when they had watched him play they thought that he would not manage to play test rugby.

My favorite tip is that when you do a place kick follow the ball down with your hands.

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID DOG DAY

AUTHOR- Jeff Kinney

Diary of a Wimpy Kid is about a boy called Greg Heffley.

The main characters are Greg, Rowley, mom, dad, and Rodrick.

Greg is one of three boys that like to play on the play-station and they all hate sport.  He is the second oldest out of the brothers. The oldest is Rodrick and Manny the youngest.  This is the fourth book in the series of nine, so far. But it is one of my favourites because it is about when they owned a dog, well actually their dad did. The dog ate lots of their food which was very funny.

I enjoyed this book because it was funny and easy to read.

Although I am not really like Greg, in fact I am the complete opposite, I can relate to the jokes and his naughtiness is funny.

Boy on a bike

First we read a story called 'boy on a bike' written by Bronwen Wall.
It was about a boy on a bike biking the length  of the North Island to raise money for St Johns.
He had a fat bike so he could go over bumpy tracks.

THE FOX AND THE GIRL

The fox and the girl

It was a dark and stormy night when my tummy rumbled I had an urge to get food.  I saw a near by cottage and I thought I could have a snack there so I headed towards it.

I liked the idea of a hot chicken on a stormy day like today so I had a feast.  “It was tasty”.  Then some rage girl came stomping towards me she started to run.

food was scarce around here.  Then out of the bush jumped that rage girl.  She pounced on me like a lion but she had a different look on her face she looked sorry for me.  

She let me go I was surprised.  It started to snow I had to rapp around her until she got warmer stopped snowing.  When it stopped snowing her parents picked her up so I scuttled away.

The end

ANZAC Lego Creation

ANZAC  Lego Creation

On Sunday morning I decided to build a Cenotaph.

I first design the base of the building.

Next I did the steeple at the top of the building.

The next day I did 14 little crosses in a grave yard.

I built these things because I was inspired by the dawn parade.

Then I built it as a scene.

I though it looked pretty cool!!!!!!!!!!
