He is coming soon!

Next month my dad is coming all the way from South Africa to New Zealand. My brother and I are really exited that this time he gets to come over to NZ, instead of us going to South Africa. We are going to be doing lots of stuff when he arrives, some of the stuff we are going to do is Rainbows End, Mount Ruapehu and Swim a lot. He is going to spend 2 nights at our house, he is going to be saying for 2 weeks so we might as well make the most if it. We have to get up at 5:40 in the morning to go get him from the Auckland Airport, when we get home we probably won't be going to sleep we will be staying up until 7:00 or even the rest of the day.

202 word story

19th May 2014,


Tomorrow is the first day of school, I am nervous and afraid. I feel like everyone will hate me, I close my eyes about to go to sleep and think what could possibly go wrong? It is the next day and I see my mother is standing by my bed and saying “Wake up”, I groan not wanting to get up out of bed. But instead she pulls me out of it, I stay groaning and moaning on the floor, she says “Get up you can’t sleep forever” I reply saying “I could if I wanted to”.

About 30 minutes later I have got into my school uniform, it felt real weird being back into the old school routine. My mum and I get into the car and drive to school, I arrived just in time before the bell rang, I walk to class and opened my desk and received a love note.


I was wondering who would give me a love note beside myself? I go to food tech I was still wondering who would do such a thing. We got told to make pasta and I found out that in the book there was a significant mistake.

How to play.
To play this fun game you have to know your places. A little tip is that you can try and look at the sign to see where you are. I don't know how to win the game because I don't know my places so I am going to have to play more. My opinion is that this game is pretty hard, if you get 100% you are very smart. Another tip is that you can look at the land scape e.g if your picture is in he desert you can look at the map and see what countries have deserts.

Wiki Game

Wiki Game
How to play:
To play the wiki game you really have to think quickly. To start it gives you a topic on what you are doing. Then it gives you a goal that you have to find, So lets say I got the word Japan then it puts me on a wiki page with blue words that are links. You have to click on those links to try and find the topic Japan. When you find the topic Japan you win the wiki game I think because I have never won the game before. You have to try and get less clicks on links. If it takes me 10 clicks to get the topic that means you could come third or fourth, but if you get three or two clicks you will come first or second.

Estuary instructions


Estuary run


Map of Estuary Run.png

Dear year 7's I am going to be giving you a list of instructions on how to be fast around the Estuary course.

Step 1: Pick a speed you are going to stay with the whole run.
Step 2: While you run you must breath heavily threw your nose and out your mouth.
Step 3: If you are starting to get tired don't stop because if you know you can run further give it a try.
Step 4: If you are really tired stop once or twice to catch your breath.

The Estuary run is a long run that you should be fit for so try go as far as you can. It is a really long run so I suggest that drink a lot of water before you go. The course goes from Tauranga Intermediate all the way down to Burrows St back up to Tauranga Intermediate.
Make sure you have shoes to protect your feet from glass and sticks. Also when you cross the road don't forget to look left and right so you don't get hit by a car.

Click Cards

This year there is a new system for the whole school. You get something called Stars Click Cards. There are 40 clicks per card, the way how you get a click is for good behaviour around the class. There is another system if you puck up a lot of rubbish you get a stars card and if you get picked out of the box at hui or assembly you either get a bike or a Burger King $2 voucher.

But if you are bad you get a warning, if you are told again you will get your name up on the board, if you get told again that means you get a cross next to your name. If you do something real bad you have to go to Mrs Mills and fill out a stars sheet and give it to your parents. If you finish a whole stars card that means you are getting a band, if you fill out three whole stars cards you get three bands and then you get a stars badge.
