Book Character Day Fun

On the 18th we had a book character parade. I was Clint Eastwood. I chose to be Clint Eastwood because it was a last minute thing that didn't cost anything and it turned out awesome. Here's a little bit about the story: It starts of with Clint taking a whole lot of cows across a stream and then some bandits come and ask him where he got the cattle and he lies so they hang him but the a marshal comes along rescues him and takes him to the county sheriff who takes him to jail but then the governor general asks him to be a marshal, so in the end it all works out for him. I had a great time at the book character parade ad there were many great costumes and I bet everybody else did to.

Book charater day

Last week we had a book character week and that meant the whole school could dress up as there best book character that they thought was cool. I dressed up as shaggy. I dressed up as him because I asked my sister " who should I dress up as" and she said "Shaggy" so I went and got some pants and an old green t-shirt and put my old boots on and a jacket that looks like shaggy's . my sister and I like shaggy because he's funny and is scared of things that aren't scary.

Basketball Field Day Fun

Yesterday a whole lot of Summerland students and I went to the Waitakere trust stadium to play basketball and I was number 7. At first I had a weird feeling in my stomach but when the games began I started to feel better. The first game we played we were against Western Heights and we won! In all the games we had we won 2, lost 1 and drew 1. I had a great day and I bet everybody else did. Now basketball is one of my favourite sports because even though it was my first time I loved it.

ANZAC animations.

Room 1 are learning to make animations. Our animations are about ANZAC day. We are using play-doh for the people and other toys from home such as sylvanian families, polly pockets, barbies, lego etc. At the end of the session if we had play-doh we had to put it in a ice-cream container. We were scared it would dry out but one day we went to use it and... it was soggy!!! To a lot of people animations are new so we’ve learnt a lot from this super fun activity. It is taking longer than some expected because you have to do more than you expected such as designing the set, painting the set, making the people from play-doh, making the credits, taking all those pictures, bringing in props from home and HEAPS more. We have learnt heaps from the youtube videos like fps (frames per second) We have found out that the more fps the more smoother it will be. We hope that they turn out good!!!

My Aunty in Gallipoli

My name is Jared Wemyss and I was very proud to be asked to represent the school for Anzac Day at Swanson RSA this year. I am very lucky to still have 4 of my great grandparents and I normally attend the Tititrangi RSA service with my great grandfather, great grandmother, nana, my mum and my brother. This year though we were not only spread across West Auckland attending services, we were spread over the world.
My Aunty Karen is a Flight Lieutenant in the RNZAF, based in Blenheim. She was lucky enough to be chosen to join the defence force group travelling to Turkey to commemorate Anzac day in the places it all happened. It’s been 95 years this year and she was very proud to join the group of defence staff, War Veteran’s and high school pupils heading to Turkey to join many other New Zealanders, Turks and Australians in attending the Commemorative Service on 24 April and then the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove on 25 April.
I know my Aunty loves her job in the Air force and is always ready to serve her country and perform whatever tasks are asked of her. I am very proud of my Aunty as is the rest of our family.

ANZAC DAY

Room 1 have been learning about ANZAC day. We have been looking on the internet for lots of research. We read Fredrick Dill's diary and learned about Simpson & his donkey. We worked so hard that Miss Rack thought we deserved a treat so we got some ANZAC cookies! They were so yum!
