Treasure
Island
`This story starts in the Admiral Benbow, an inn. Jim Hawkins (played by Quin) works there. Billy Bones (played by Shanti ) comes to stay. He has a chest full of treasure. He was once a pirate, a member of Capain Flint's crew. He is visited by Black Dog (played by Stevie )who fights him. Then the evil Blind pew (played by Sasha ) comes and scares him to death.
Jim gets the map. He gets the Goodies, Dr Livesey (played by Charlie ) Squire Trelawney (played by Sarah ), Mr Dance (played by Shannen ) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola. The captain is Captain Smollett (played by Makayla ) who gets Long John Silver (played by Madison ) to collect a crew. Long John Silver is evil and one of Captain Flint's pirates. He collects all the other pirates and away they sail.
On the trip Jim hears of a plot to kill the goodies and take the treasure them selves. When they get to the island the Goodies go to the ship. The baddies go in search of the treasure. An old pirate called Ben Gunn (played by Zion ) who has been marooned, arrives and joins the goodies.
Jim takes off and sails the ship around the island. The pirates have nowhere to go. There's a big fight. The pirates are winning until they hear Ben Gunn who they think is a ghost of Captain Flint. Ben Gunn screams horribly.
They all run away and the goodies find the treasure and sail back to England.

It was disgusting. When we finally got off the bus we had some morning tea which made some people feel better. After we had morning tea we went into the beech forest. While we were in the beech forest we talked about how humans and pests are wrecking our native wild life by cutting down trees and catching our native birds. First our group went on the bellbird walk where we learnt about alot of interesting facts about our wild life. After that we went on the honey dew walk. In my group there was Alexa I , Ria K, Alex B and Raven A. We did a quiz which as fun. After that we had lunch which was long over due. We got to see some long fin eels which was cool. On the way back nobody was sick which was good.A The trip was awesome!!!!

THE OLYMPICS
The Olympics happen every four years. Every country from around the world come to compete in these games. This year they took part in London, England. There are three different types of medals, gold, silver and bronze.There are all different types of games. There are track and field, Hockey, Cycling and Equestrian just to name a few. Did you know that in the ancient Olympics they would go to the temple of Zeus to show their strengths, also they used to light the torch because they believed it to be sacred. There are two different types of Olympics there are the Paralympics and the normal Olympics. New Zealand has gotten 6 golds, 2 silvers, and 6 bronze. Valerie Adams also got a gold medal because the Belarus person was pulled up for taking drugs. WATCH HERE.

This year parklands school is participating in Rock Da House. Rock Da House is a school choir that all the schools in the Tasman region do. This year I get to be a soloist for 'We are the world'. My favourite songs are 'Hey soul sister', 'Bad hair day' and 'One day' I also like 'We are the world' but that's because I have to if I want to sing it well. The people who organise it are Paulette and John their daughter is the leader of the band Peasants. The performance is on the 30 of August I'm so excited and scared. THE PERFORMANCE. On the 30 of august was the performance. We started off with We will rock you it was awesome and it was an awesome way to start the night. I think the soloists did pretty well. Jason was pitch perfect and Josh was wicked and I got lots of positive comments. The audience roared after every song. My favourite part was when we all got to get up and dance to the music.
ORAL HEALTH WEEK.
Last week we had oral health week. We learned about what foods are good for your teeth and what foods are bad for your teeth. I did a project on ancient toothpaste. Did you know they use to mix honey and tobacco to clean their teeth yuck!!! I also learned that your teeth can't just look good on the outside but they have to be good on the outside. My favourite part was the big shared lunch.
disgusting teeth.

winter sports
We have winter sports because it keeps us healthy and is a fun thing to do each year.
The sports include Netball, Soccer, Rugby and Hockey.
I played Soccer and we came fourth in the blue pool and sixth overall.
When we played Brooklyn we won 7 to 0 which was pretty good.
The hardest school we played was Mapua.
I had a really fun time.
The best parts were when we won the games.
First I cut out two half circles sides and stuck them to a rectangular bottom.
Then I had to wait one day before the glue dried.
Then I stuck the other on with cellotape.
WHEELS.
For the wheels I used four milk bottle lids.
This was the most difficult part out of the whole thing
First I thought I'd use glass can lids as wheels but that didn't work out well so I used milk lids.
DECORATION.
First I painted one side red then the other side red.
When they dried I painted black polka dots on them to make it look like a lady bug.
I also cut out two circles and painted them orange for the head lights.
THE RACE
My car was pushed powered.
I raced against Alissa and Amber.
I came third because my car fell apart.
I had fun even if my car fell apart.
REPORT.

First I played on the IPAD and went on Garage Band. I made a mean as beat with the classic guitar.
Then I listened to Whaea Lisa read stories to Montana and Gabreah.
After the stories whea Lisa tought us how to play Zilt.
It was fun except Douglas got a bit violent with rolling the dice.
Madison won and I came third and Sharntaye came second.

My favourite part was when I played on Garage Band.
