Mars Part1

I am just going to finish fueling my rocket. Im going up there for only 1 earth day. I have build a fridge and cupboard in my rocket. Im going to grab 100kg of oxygen for me. Ninja and Sam get 95 kgs of oxygen. Now for 55 liters of water in a big plastic bottle. I will take some sausages,potatoes, cheese, chicken ,basil,bread,eggs and finally crackers. Some pots as well. I will take a small gas bottle and stove with me so I can cook. Its time to launch my rocket. I climb up the ladder to my rocket and I put the water in the fridge. Then the cheese, sausages,basil,chicken into the fridge as well. Then I put the crackers and potatoes in the cupboard. Then I go back upstairs and grab my cat and dog food. I climb up again and walk over to the cupboard and put them by the crackers. Then down the ladder, upstairs again to get my cat and dog. I take my cat up the ladder. My pets beds. Then put it just inside the door. Then down the ladder once more to grab my dog. I grabbed the chain and attached it to his collar. Locked all the doors and back up the ladder to my rocket with my dog. Shut the door and make sure that it is sealed. Started up the rockets and waited for them to warm up. I blasted off the ground at 600km, on the way up I start to come through the clouds and its a bit blurry.

Then suddenly there was an alien that was red. It had red fur covering from head to toe. He had a green tail. His eyes were light blue. Then I spoke to it and I said hi. Im not sure if hes a boy or a girl. It spoke back and said hello. “What is your name”. He replied back i'm Mort. “Hi im Jared”. “Are you a boy or a girl” I spoke. He got scared because he saw Sam. Sam yelled out hi. He sprinted to see what the red object was by me. “Who is that” said Sam. Its Mort, he lives on Mars. Oh. How old are you I said.” I'm 5” said Mort. Then I introduced everyone. This is Mort. Mort this is Sam. Then Ninja walked out of his bed to see what all the racket was. Then I finally said this is Ninja. Ninja this is mort. He is 5 years old. Do you have any parents or any family Ninja asked. Yeah I have got a dad,brother,nana,aunt and a grandad. It is just me, Ninja and Sam that came. Where is all of your family I asked Mort. There at my house. My dad told me to go play outside,so I did. Thats when I discovered your rocket here. “Ok” I replied. Where is your house asked Ninja. Can you all see that yellow dot in the distance. Yes is that your house I asked . Mort said it was. Ok we all said. Do you allow guests at your house. I think so. Then Mort asked us a question. He asked what planet are you from. We replied saying we are from planet Earth. So you're our neighbor. Yeah I guess so. So you're a human then Jared. Yes and Ninja is a cat. Sam is a dog.

Matariki Art

This is my Matariki art. What I used was a plain piece of paper. Then I dyed the piece of paper. Then I let it dry. Then get another piece of paper and drew 7 stars on the paper and dyed it. Let it dry. Cut the stars out and glue them where ever you want on the dyed paper. Then draw a bird that is like a person on a piece of paper. Cut it out. Glue it on like the stars.

Mid Year Reflection

Something I enjoyed learning was that matau is left and maui is left.

Something I want to learn more about cars.

Something Im proud of is getting stuff published on my blog.

Something That is better being in a digital classroom is that you write on Google Drive.

My favourite sentence in my writing so far is. He could be dangerous so don’t approach him.

Something I learnt was how to play rakau games on the matariki workshops day

My favourite book so far is Wonder.

My favourite maths We did our shopping at Countdown online. We had $250 to spend on grocery,s for our family and counting our pets.

For genius hour you get to pick your own topic that you are passionate about. My subject that I'm doing for genius hour is about production cars and utes.

My favourite writing:

I could taste the fresh air. The taste of the wood was sweet. The wood felt like sandpaper when I licked it. I could touch the grass it felt moist and soft . I could smell the moisture lurking in the air. I could taste the fence it tasted like cold metallic that had a few drips of water. The grass was frosty because Jack Frost had been. I could see trees, some were green and some were yellow and orange. I also saw some palms the were a nice bright green. Behind the trees I could see Te Mata Peak and all the surrounding hills. Some had little patches of green  grass and some had big patches. Some even have gigantic patches of pine trees. The color of the trees is a black brownish color. I could see all sorts of cars they were a Suzuki Swift, Toyota Corolla, Mitsubishi Diamante, Mazda Cx 9, Toyota Caravan, Holden Commodore and a Mitsubishi Evo 10. Evo is short for Evolution.    

I could see the giant laying dead and still as a rock on the top of Te Mata Peak. I could hear the sound of a plane. It was noisy and sounded like it was about to take off from the airport. I could see a bird it was squawking as it was flying. In the distance back towards school I could see a corn field that was not quite ripe. In the paddock I could see horses running around. They were a golden brown with a black golden brown wiry tail and mane. Some had white coats on that covered there back and there neck. The houses on the other side of Howard Street from the paddocks were made out of white whether boards of black and red bricks. On the other side of the first wire fence is an electric fence which I got a shock from but I didn't touch it though. I could tell that it was an electric fence because it had a yellow plastic handle thing on it. Under the line of electric wire by the wood post was two black rubbish bags. I could tell that they were full of rubbish. They were bulging out from the sides front and back.

Holt Planetarium Visit

Something I enjoyed was learning about black holes because I didn't know that there was different types of black holes.  

Something I found interesting was that the suns heat goes through the clouds of Venus,then the heat  can’t come back out because It was something I didn't know.

The most exciting thing about space is stars because I would like to learn more about the solar systems.

“How do stars in the universe have an impact impact on us?”

I want the rest of my inquiry topic to be about is the solar system.`

Why are the planets all different temperatures?

Waka

Today Room 6 drove to Clive river to go for a waka ride. We had parents to drive us there. They were Maia s dad ,Georges mum and some other parents. I went with Maia’s dad. His car is a Honda Odyssey. I went with Maia’s dad and  Maia,Julius,Brooklyn and Mary.

We left school. It took us about 20 minutes to drive to Clive. We had to turn off at Fremden road. Then spot the rowing club sign. Turn down the stone drive. Then over the bank, turned right and on to some grass. Then we parked. Then we got out off the cars. We waited for Mr Moriarty to come. He finally arrived with Julius’s nan.

Then we all stood around waiting till we could go on the waka. Some people were excited and some were nervous. I was one of the nervous people. Then we all ran over to get a life jacket each and put them on. Then we walked over to an adult to see if the life jackets were tight enough. Then some of room 6 discovered that there was a whistle on them and they started to blow them. Mr Moriarty got sick of it so he blew his whistle. Then he told us to come over to him. Room 6 did.

Then Jim Edwards the waka leader was telling us bit of a story. Then Jim showed us some weapons. They were sharp. One of them had a head carved into it. The one that had a head on it the people that they were fighting against thought they going to throw it because it was sharp but they didn't. Instead they would use the other end to whack the other people. This other one had a triangle on a stick.

These were the commands Jim gave us were Kia riti which means get ready. Tokihi which means work together and maintaining the rhythm. The third one hoe which means paddle. The fourth one whakamutu which means stop. Ta papa lean forward. Tipuna means ancestors. The ancestors were carved on the side of the waka. Tumatauenga which means god of the war.

Then all room 6 got a piece of carpet. Then we climbed aboard the waka in the Clive River. The water was murky. Sometimes we would stop paddling and hold up our hoe straight into the air pointing to the sky. Then do a pukana. We paddled under and past Clive bridge. We paddled past lots of houses along the way. Then we had to turn around and come back. We had some help from Jim. Then all of room 6 and the parents started to paddled in reverse for a few minutes. As we were paddling forward again there were patches of weed in the water and sticking above. We paddled under and past the bridge once more. Then we had to turn again. But this time we had to do it by ourselves without the help of Jim. The people on the left side of the waka had to paddle with the backside of the paddle out so it was facing to the bank. The people on the right side had to put the green and white side, pointing to the other bank on the other side, pushing out like the people on the left.

Then we arrived back at where room 6 started. We hopped off the waka. Walked over the little bridge. Room 6 took off their life jackets and put them back into the boxes where we found them. We hopped back into the cars that we came in and drove back to school. It took about 20 minutes again. He waka eke noa, which means we are all in the waka together.

The hardest part was paddling backwards. The fun part was paddling. Something I learnt was the waka weighs 6 tons on its own.    

The Elephants Child Retell

There once was a elephant who asked really curious questions. In his family there was his mum, Aunt Hippopotamus,Uncle Baboon, Aunty Kuko bird and his Uncle Giraffe. The question he asked his mum was what do crocodiles have for dinner?. Then his mum would spank him. Then asked his Aunt Hippopotamus and he got another spank from his aunt. He asked Uncle Baboon,aunty bird and uncle giraffe and they all spanked him as well. They spanked him till he was red all over. After that they all said if you want to find out what they have for dinner. He had only a little nose. Yes I do. Well go to the river than and you will see replied his mum. So the elephants child set of on a journey to the river.

On the way to the river he walked past lots of trees. He took some food with him. All he took with him was 100 rockmelon, 10 coconuts and 40 bananas with him. He travelled a long way through the middle of Africa to get to the river.

On the way he meet a rock python snake was wrapped around a rock in the mud by the river. The elephant's child asked the rock python and said what do crocodiles have for dinner. The  elephants child spoke to the snake and said please don't spank me please I have been spanked by all of my family. Suddenly the rock python snake spanked the elephants child. The python said go over to the river and see for yourself.

So the elephants child did and he meet a crocodile. Then asked the crocodile what do you have for dinner asked the elephants child. The crocodile replied and said come a little closer. So the elephant's child did. The crocodile said come even closer and the elephant did come closer. Then again the elephant moved even closer. Once more again the elephant moved closer. The next second the crocodile snap his jaws wide open and got hold of the elephants childs little nose. Then both the crocodile and the elephant pulled. The elephants childs nose started to stretch more and more.Suddenly the rock python said to the elephant I will come and help you pull. They were both pulling so hard that the elephant nose was so sore it was red. Finally the crocodile let go of the elephants paw nose. He managed to get his nose out with the help of the rock python. Then thanked the python for helping him.

The python started to talk to the elephant and said look you have got advantages. The python said advantage number 1 you are spraying water on your back to keep you nice and cool. He could now also put on a mud cap on. Advantage number 2 you can grab leaves to eat of the trees. You couldn't do that before could you. No replied the elephants child. Once more the python said advantage number 3 now you can spank. Oh I can go and spank my family now because they spanked me hard. Now I will spank my family even harder than they did to me. So the elephants child set off back to where he came from. With him he took a lot of  leaves rock melon and some sugar cane He took lots of leaves and rockmelon, sugar cane with him on his journey back to where he had come from. After a long time crossing the middle of Africa he finally arrived home. He started to spank his aunt hippopotamus,uncle graffe, his mum and his uncle baboon. He didn't let anyone touch his aunty kuko bird. Then after that all his family wanted a nose like that. They all asked the elephant where did you get that nose from. The elephant replied saying go see the crocodile at the river where I walked to on the other side of Africa. So some of his family set off and went to the same river as he did. So now all the elephants you see now have a long nose which is called a trunk.

This is Jared reporting from studio.This is the big story of today. I have received this picture of this robot and a teddy bear. The bear is standing on a jettie, off this lovely beach. Have a look at this picture.  

This is the description of the robot and his teddy. The robot has some buttons on the front of him.  It has blue eyes, with white dots in the middle of the eyes, red hands, white over most of the body. The windup is grey. His teddy bear has a white cream color on his chest and stomach. He has brown feet and a stripe of white cream again. The rest of him is brown. Teddy has a black nose. The teddy also has black eyes with a white dot in the middle.

  The robot seems to be holding a teddy bear. If you look to the bottom of the picture you will see a reflection in the water. The reflection that you can see is a lego man in a suit with black stripes and four buttons. The lego man also has yellow hands. The lego man is smiling with his eyebrows up above his eyes. I think that the lego man is exactly the same as the robot with his teddy bear.. By the looks the man is holding a walking stick in his right hand. The lego man also has some spiky hair. The colour is brown. He is holding the same teddy bear as the wind up robot is.

In the water the lego man is standing on the same jettie as the wind up robot. The reflection looks like the sky is a fine day with no clouds. If you turn it around the other way it looks like the robot and his ted are up the right way.  

He could be dangerous so dont approach him. Call the police if you see him. He could just be on holiday.  He might just be having a day out at the beach. I don't know for sure. This is the end of the major story of the day. Now for the weather forecast. Good night.

Laser Tag

I was going to Palmerston North for my cousin's birthday. He was turning 13. So now he is a teenager now.  It is down the road from Daytona Go Karts. We were at Daytona Go Karts before laser tag. We eventually got to laser tag in Palmerston North.

Going were me, my two cousins and some of my cousins friends , my nana ,and my great aunty. I was playing with my cousins and their friends. All of us were going to play laser tag wanted 3 games and that was the maximum that we could have.” Ethan said ok then “ we will have 3 games.

Then we had to watch this video about how to play Laser Tag. We all sat down on seats to watch it. You had sensors on your stomach and both of your shoulders and one on your back. To hit them you had to shoot at those sensors. If your shoot them so manys times, you kill them at you get points for shooting them thats, if you kill them. Im not sure of how many points you get for killing them. I also think that you can get points for just hitting them. Im not quite sure on that.   There are two types of guns that you can choose from. They are the phaser that can shoot long range. The blaster which is used to shoot at close range. They all make sounds. Then if you shoot something it would give you a machine gun. To operate it you had to put your hand under it near the top of the gun. Then you could shoot. It ended.

Then me and my cousins and friends walked into this room with all the vests with the guns hanging on the side by a cable. A man came along with this device, and waved it in front of us and it gave us what teams that we were on. I wasn't sure what it was I was blue and the other team was red. On my team was Ethan and his friend. The other team was just Jatin and Ethan friend,s sister. The man told us to walk through this door that had red led lights that were around the outside of the door. You had names like mine was Torpedo, Ethans was Ace and his friends sisters name was Batman. Ethans friends name was Bubble. Then it started to countdown 5 4 3 2 1 0 and then the game started. I was like ohhhh its about to start in my head. Then it started.

Everything was dark black with a outlined with the colour range of yellow,  red, green, orange and blue. It must have been glow paint. Even though it was hard to hide from the other team I still managed to hide. Then I scored 2200 points I think it was in the first game. One dumb thing about it was sometimes they would put you on another team which was stink. Ethan and his friend beat me and his friends sister. I beat his sister 400 points.

Sometimes you would hit your own teammate by accident. The next game I hid behind a wall and I was like a sniper trying to shoot the other team. I was just sitting on the ground to shoot. A few times Ethan’s friend and his sister would come by and I would shoot from behind. Then they would run away and hid again so I would have to find them again. At the end of the game I managed to beat my score of 2200 points. The score was 3400. I thought to myself I must be getting better at laser tag.

I managed to beat my score of 2200 points. The score was 3400. I thought to myself I must be getting better at laser tag.
