Chinese Dining Day

  
Nihao! Yesterday we went to Master House for Chinese dining day with 8CH and 8LH. We had to take the bus into town and sat at big round tables.

After being seated the food came out pretty fast with the staff telling us what it was because some of it was different from the food we usually eat. One of the things I tried was chicken feet. It was deep fried just like KFC! After it was finished we took the bus back to school Zàijiàn!

The Great Beach Clean Up.

My mates and i were hanging at the beach surfing and swimming when we saw some signs for the great beach clean up.  We all decided to sign up to help make sure our beach was clean.  Later that week the council people brought in some recycling and rubbish bins so that everyone could put the rubbish in the right place and keep it off the beach altogether.  The beach care lady Milly who organised the clean up also shouted us and the rest of the helpers morning tea for helping.  While working on the clean up we also worked with Jamie McDell she told us all about the sea life that would be safe now that all this rubbish was off the beach.

Pictures are from the beach care clean up with Jamie McDell and our Whanga Surf people.

Last day of the summer

It was the last day of the summer holidays and my friends and I decided to out to the waterhole for one last time.  We were all swimming and jumping off the bank into the ice cold water laughing and having loads of fun enjoying the last day of the holidays.  Then suddenly the jump platform callapsed and Brylie fell and bang is head we all rushed over and saw that he was hurt and bleeding, then we help get him to the car so his mum could take him to the A&E. Later we when to see him he was ok but he now had a mean war wound and 6 stitches in his head.

Hunting with Dad in 100words - By Harrison Bond

While on my hunting trip with my Dad we had spent the day chasing a stag and were totally exhausted, finally we came to an old bush hut there we set up camp for the night.  The hut was remote with no power of wifi but lucky for us we had some candles and a cooker, i started to eat my spargetti and drink a warm hot chocolate when the door to the hut flew open and the wind blow thought the hut just as the flame flickered and went out on the candle we were left in total darkness.

The IceBlock stick Catabolite

The IceBlock stick Catabolite    -     By Harrison

This  is my catabolite - the good thing about it is it is very strong. i used the rubber bands for extra launch power  the frame is designed to withstand fire power. The cross pattern on the front create triangles with this the strongest shape to use. in fact lots of bridges are designed with triangle shape support.
The down side to my design is it is made of iceblock sticks and a plastic spoon so you have to be a little gentle otherwise it may break.
