When they were looking for it the saw some guys they had a T.I.S uniform on and they where trying to get out of school ran behind a bush so they followed and the guys behind the bush said "if you come any closer or well bash you" they had a scooter then they ran down the back and went to Merrivale then Kodi and Connor told Mr Scholes and Mr Scholes brought them down and as soon as they found them they all had scooters instead of the one Mr Scholes did a ue and Kodi and Connor chased after the kids, the kids where almost cornered but they chucked there scooter into a patch of long grass and jumped over the river and Kodi and Connor found a log and had to walk across the river. It was to late the kids with the scooters turned around and pulled the finger then ran off. Kodi and Connor didn't find the cookie pad in the end but they did find adventure.

Weekend Poem

Baptism

Baptism is a way you choose,
to become a strong believer.
Of the christ called God who is above
looking down on the world. 

After the ceremony at the church
you join up and watch a movie 
and have lunch.

Inferring

1. Matthew was lonely.

Matthew sat on the step not saying a word he had a long face. He was slouching over, he looked across the courtyard there was no one.


2.  Kyle was excited for maths.

"Are we doing maths yet!!!!!???" exclaimed Kyle.
"Almost," said the teacher.
"Can we do maths now!!!???" Asked Kyle again and again and again.


3. Connor was terrified of answering the phone.

"RING, RING" The phone blared in front of his eyes. Connor went to the back of the room.
"Hello!" Said Sally as she picked up the phone. Phew thought Connor at least I dont have to get that.

Weekend Poem

Happy Days

Happy days,
sunny skies laughter
fills the air.

Kids on playgrounds,
families on bikes
it is the best weekend of the year.



Fun

Weekends are fun when your in the sun.
You could go dive or or go for a ride.
You could hide when people arrive or sit 
with a mouse when people are about.
If you are bored you can sit on your bum, 
eat lots of ice cream yum yum yum.

Weekend

My weekend was fun we all played in the sun
We face painted the crowd until the rugby started and ended at one.
We sat down and had a yummy feast with heaps of treats that you could eat.
Some kids from Opotiki came and meet us we took them to the swing,
that wasn't scary that much. 
We ended the day with lemonade ice cream with raspberry it was delicious, I'd say.

The last 2 days with Mrs Vester

For the last two days Miss Campbell was away because she had a very sore back and couldn't move she is alright at the moment but not the greatest. She is able to come to school now which is great.

At the start of the day we were all wondering where Miss C was until I checked my emails and she said that she was crawling on the floor, I told the class and they all moaned, but Mrs V gave us a worksheet being a laptop class we love worksheets we were quite excited.

Things that annoy me.



Things that annoy me.


Flynn- when he tells me to use my inside voice.

Messiness- At my friends partys I tidy up the room.

Standing on a lego piece- It really hurts.

When my mum tells me to do jobs and my sister doesn't have to.

When people waste money- I get really annoyed when people spend money when they dont need to.
Like someone

I get annoyed when my food comes out two hours later.
When I went to a restaurant (the Lone Star) for my sisters birthday my meal came out 2 hours later. We we ordered some food and they came out with my dish 2 hours later and it was the wrong dish they said they sent a waiter out to let me know but the didn't then they said if I want a burger that would mean I have to wait 25 minutes. I got furious they said w can give you some complimentary drinks but I had been drinking for that whole time while I was waiting then they came out and gave me a bowl of fries. Mean while my mum convinced them to give the rest of the kids free meals. When we left I went to Mc'Ds to get a burger.
