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 treasure map . He was once a pirate, a member of Captian 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 Charley) Squire Trelawney (played by Sarah), Mr Dance (played by Shannen) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola. The captain is Captain Smollet (played by Makayla) who gets Long John (played by Madison) to collect a crew. Long John 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 get the treasure. When they get to the island the Goodies go to the stockade. 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 gang.
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.
My favourite part was (why) When Billy and Blackdog fight because theres lots of action
My favourite character was (why?) jim because he was funny and made fun of the captain My part in the show was a singer
My favourite part was: All of it because it was awesome!! My favourite character was: Long John because I liked it when Long John sang "Get on your knees and beg!"

THE OLYMPICS
Every 4 years the Olympics are held somewhere in the world. This year they are being held in London, England. This year New Zealand has 7 gold medals, and the reason why we have a extra one is because somebody from Russia I think was taking drugs so Valerie Adams got gold in shot put. All the greatest athletes from around the world come to compete in the Olympic games and do all kinds of sports like rowing for example. All the participants can't eat junk food or have late nights because they need the energy for the games.

WINTER TOURNAMENT REPORT

| Karina gets the ball |
On Friday the 14th of September we had a winter tournament. Our choices for winter tournament were netball, soccer, rugby and hockey. I played netball.
We left school between 9-15 and 9-30 so we could sort out the teams, people etc. I was in team 2 as in Parklands 2. Our team was Lucia, Karina, Laura, Shanti, Amber, Siobhan, Me and charlotte.
When we got there we settled down by bench 6 and waited for our first game it was Riwaka v.s our team. The score was 4-nil. We won! After that we had a rest to sort out our positions and we had a snack too.
Next we were versing our own school. Weird!! We were versing Parklands 4. My position was GA (goal attack). In the end we got seven and the other team got zero. About two games later we got jellybeans, yum! At the end of the day we came first place Yay!
OUR CARS
During terms 3 and 4 we have been making cars. They had to be self propelled and you had to make them yourself, but you could have had a little bit of help from mum and dad. (mostly dad.)
This is how I made my car.
Base: Pine wood for the base (chassis) of my car. Tools used to make the base : Saw, carpenter's ruler, drill, pencil, and hammer. Parts on the base : axle from an old toy truck, motor to drive the truck which is an old motor from an old tape deck.
Holes were drilled through the base to run the axles through.
