All Most Summer

The frost covers the ground,

In the morning there is not a sound,

Jack frost nipping at your toes,

Watching the ice melt as it goes,

A bright beam screams through the sky,

And letting the warmth in as it starts to fly,

The sun gleaming through the air,

Beautiful trees standing tall and fair,

The hot air runs past my face,

The birds fluttering at a steady pace,

Water drops glisten beneath a ray of light,

Butterflies get ready to take flight,

The bees come out to play,

As they hover to flowers as they may,

The sun starts to go down,

Darkness comes and the world starts to frown,   

Today was a beautiful day,

I can wait for tomorrow to go outside and play.

Hockey tournament

On Saturday I had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to go to a hockey tournament in North Harbor. The ride felt like forever but we got there. (Eventually) We started off with a light training before the game against Auckland. I was all pumped up and ready to go but a hockey ball smashed into my knee. It hurt for 2 minutes once I put the Ice on it, but after that it felt OK.

Once the whistle went the ball never really came to where I was standing, in the second half the ball came towards me a lot more and the other team managed to get 4 goals and I ended up stopping 11 goals. Overall it was a great game even though we lost, we felt pretty accomplished because Auckland is a hard team and we learnt lots from that game.

The second game was at 4:45 and we played Waikato. This game was a little bit messy because we got called out for a lot of PCs. I stopped only 1 goal and over all and the score 2-1 to Waikato.

The next day we didn't have to wake up quite as late but I was still really tired. When we got to the hockey club we all sat down and watched the women's Hockey Olympics. We didn't want to stop watching but we had training.  The third game was relay intense because if we didn't win this game we'd have to go home. The ball was so close to getting in the goal but it rebounded of the post. I was so relived. In the end of that game we WON. The score was two nil to us and we played against Counties,  and I stopped 9 goals.

We had  our last game against North Harbor. We were playing on their turf so we wanted to play a good game. In that game there were a few PCs but all in all it was a good game. They won 3 nil, they played really well so they deserved it. It was a great and fun weekend of hockey and I can't wait for more to come.

💮Task: Quote to charter

💮 Words:

1. I chose this quote because even though they’re in war they still need to make the most out of that time, and focus on the little things, like when Niko was thinking about all the good times they had before the war.

2.I chose this quote because I think Niko needs to tell someone what happened with the brothers, because if something like that happens you need to tell someone otherwise it will change you.   

3. I chose this quote because everyone that is in the middle of this war can’t do anything and it’s driving people insane.

Curiosity

Today we where exploring our curiosity. We had some objects and books and a lot more placed  around the room, then we where given posted notes to write about any questions that we had about those object or  those object could have sparked questions in our heads.
We wrote them down and placed them on the table. We then had to write our two most interesting question that we wrote done on the tables and dived our self into groups. I was in the group interested about space. I had a couple of question off the top of my head and they where...
1. " How did people know that there was something other that earth?" 2. "Why are planets round why can't the be triangle?" There was one that I though was relay cool that someone else did, it was... " Because of gravity we don't drift off of earth, but we are on the bottom of earth so why don't we fall off?" I thought that one relay cool. And that is what we did today.

Current Events

Lost Orca 

An Orca calf has been separated from it's family after carelessly swimming off  into the Tauranga Habour. Because young Orcas need their pods to get food and keep them out of danger the Orca calf that has been stayed from the pod might not have long if it don't find it's pod soon. It has been lost for two weeks now but the Department of Conservation has put out a search party  for this young Orca.
I hope they find it soon. :(

My Book Bash Prediction

💮Date: 02/08/16

💮Pages: Read Chapter 1-2-3-4

💮Task: Predict what will happen next

💮 Words: I predict that the paper plane that was flown is a way that someone is is trying communicate with others, and then whoever is flying the paper planes end up sending messages after every bomb or shooting to see if people are ok.

I also think Niko and the person that threw the paper plane end up becoming friends but getting to know each other by writing things about them on the paper planes. Then I think that the person stops sending paper planes and Niko gets suspicious and goes out to find him but I think that he’s dead.
