Hi my name is Makayla and I come from Nelson. I also like playing squash and doing jump jam. My favourite colour is purple. My goal for this year is to get better at my writing and to learn how to do paragraphs.
On February 24/2/12 we had the Turangawaewae festival. We have it so we can celebrate lots of people from all over the world. There were bouncy castles and pony rides and cup cakes. My favourite part was the hot chips. Yum yum yum!!!

LAKE ROTOITI
On Tuesday 20 of May 2012 room 3 and 4 went to lake Rotoiti. On the way to lake Rotoiti 3 people vomited. First one vomited then another felt sick so we had to stop for a while then a third vomited. 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!!!!
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 Charlie) 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 When Billy and Blackdog fight because there's 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 Captain Smollett.

THE STREET RACE.
On Friday 27th July we had the Street Race.The year 6 girls went first so got up and walked nervously to the starting line getting ready we were all anxiously waiting then "CLAP" off went the block. We all shot off like a rocket racing past the goalpost and across the fence line out the gate and on the street.First we went down Pah street then we raced past the marae and down Poole Street.
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.

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.
OUR CARS.
For my car I used:
. Cardboard
. Milk lids (four)
. Cotton buds (four)
. Glue
.Cellotape
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.
I stayed behind with Sharntaye and her little brother and my little sister while the rest of my class went
to the opening ceremony for the new multi purpose hall.
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.
Then I had a chocolate muffin and some chips.
My favourite part was when I played on Garage Band.
