When we went on our trip yesterday. First of all we drove by bus to Bishops school in Nelson. Bishops school is small with high windows so you don't look out and day dream. Mr Green was very scary but she was only pretending and her real name was Nicky. After that we had morning tea on the cathedral. Then we walked down to the museum and I am sure I saw a pretend taniwha. We had to do a quiz about in the olden days which wasn't that hard. When we had lunch at Queens Gardens we saw some ducks, eels and one frog. After lunch we walked to the Riverside indoor pool. It was so deep. It was about 2 meters deep. We got to go on a swing that led into the water. It was fun, in fact the whole trip was fun.
On Thursday we went to Nelson for a trip. I felt sick because the bus driver went crazy. It was fun when we went to Bishop school to see what it was like. Heaps of people got told off for bumping their seats.
After that we went to the cathedral stairs for morning tea.
Then that we went to the museum. I really liked the quiz the best. I almost got too scared to put my hand in the cave creatures part. When we left the museum I got some guides on the shelf.
After that we walked to the Queens gardens to have lunch. I fed the ducks and eels some ham and bread. The eel bit me because I put my finger in the water but it didn't hurt. All the adults told us off for feeding the ducks.
It was cool walk to the Riverside pool because I saw a trout. My favorite part was when I had a go on the rope swing at Riverside pool. On the way back I drew with Blake.
On Thursday morning Mr B did the roll and we lined up and walked to the bus and the bus driver drove us to Nelson and dropped us off at Bishops school. We had a little walk around the school. Then classes broke up and room 3 went to the museum and room 4 went to Bishop school. In side it was old!!! We had a very strict teacher but she was just acting it we did some handwriting and rims.
We stayed in the school for 1 hour. We walked to the cathedral for some morning tea . Then classes swopped room 3 went to bishop school and we walked to the museum. At the museum we did some question my buddy was Jason. we got up to number 18 out of 22. An hour later we walked to to queens garden and had lunch . After half an hour we went to the river side pool for an hour then we had to get out and quickly get dressed and hopped on the bus to school.
That was 'like' the warmest pool ever in the history of the universe
There was some really shiny glass that looked like it was more flat than it really was
Ribbit Ribbit the devil bread frog is still there
On the ninth of March 2012 rooms 4 and 3 went on a bus to Nelson. I sat beside Chevaughn and Emma and I got the window seat (oh yeah) After what seemed like ages we came to Bishop school but room 3 went to the museum. When we lined up outside the doors "Mr" Green came with a cane and strap and called hats off straight line i may use this cane. it was so scary. Afterwards we went to the museum and had a scavenger hunt it was really fun. For lunch we went to the Queens Gardens. A cheeky duck nibbled at my lunch. We also saw some eels in the duck pond! After that we went to the Riverside pools. But for the first five minutes we played on the playground. When we got to go into the pool I jumped into the deep end. It was so warm. When it was time to go out we saw a white swan as we went across the bridge. It was too cool to be true.
We have a multi cultural festival because we are the only multi-cultural school at the top of the south island there is really fun games and activities I did not go to the Turangawaewae festival but I heard it was great. There was 50 cent watermelon pony rides, face painting, rock climbing and swimming.
Get ready!

TREASURE ISLAND.
This story starts in the Admiral Benbow inn. Jim Hawkins (Quin) works there. Billy Bones (Shanti) comes to stay. He has a map. He was once a pirate, a member of Captain Fint's crew. He is visited by Black Dog (Stevie)who fights him. Then the evil Blind Pew (Sasha) comes and scares him to death.
Jim gets the map. He gets the Goodies, Dr Livesey (Charlie) Squire Trelawney (Sarah), Mr Dance (Shannen) and they hire a ship called the Hispaniola. The captain is Captain Smollett (Makayla) who gets Long John Silver (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. 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 (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 Gun who they think is a ghost of Captain Flint. Ben Gun screams horribly.
They all run away and the goodies find the treasure and go's back to England.

The awesome Parklands school street race!
On Friday the 27 of July 2012 Parklands school had a street race
The medals silver, gold and bronze
The Olympic games
Let the games begin. Some people think that the Olympics are a waste of time. Well it is sort of maybe it is because 4 years just for a little 2 week full of sports and stuff and that is a big waste of time. Every Olympic stadium is brand new. Wasteful as! But I do think that 4 years apart New Zealand got 6 gold 2 silver and 5 bronze medals But for the people that have dreams of going to the Olympics that have only one arm or leg can go to the Paralympics its like the Olympics for the people that only have 1 or 0 arms or legs or have fake arms or legs. They can live a dream so they can be happy. Even if they don't get a medal they are still happy because the went to the Paralympics.
Here is a paralympics video on the Paralympic games opening ceremony.

THIS IS MY LAST POST FOR THIS YEAR
This is the last post from this year and this is what I have learned to :
On the 8th of March 2012, we went for a trip to Nelson. It took ages and then finally we reached "Bishops School". Ms. Green did an act to be "Mr. Green". But I didn't know that until the end. It was very very freaky (scary). We had to do some maths, reading + spelling. There were even whips, a strong stick, a belt, another stick etc.) After 1/2 an hour (30 mins) later we went out of Bishop School. I was relieved! Then we went to the Cathedral to have morning tea. Then we went to the Nelson Museum. It was fun. I learnt a lot of stuff. Then we left to go back to school.
Hi I am Jason I like to play rugby.I am 8 years old. I live in town with my mum and my sister. I go to Parkland's School.

OUR TRIP TO LAKE ROTOITI
On the 22nd of may 2012 room 4 and room 3 raced off to the big bus outside Parkland's school to go to Lake Rotoiti. It was a long trip but the sad thing was that two people puked. One was watery and looked like frog slime and one was chunky like he ate corn for dinner. Once we got there we had our morning tea then we went to the front of the walk way to split into groups. There were two walks to do. I was doing the honey dew walk. When we were walking there was a panel of writing that said go to a tree and you will eat a bit of yellow sap. Once I tried it tasted so good so I started eating all the sap of the trees. There was a big hill at the end so I ran as fast as I could then a big corner came. Next moment I was skidding around the corner at top speed. When we got to the end a lady told us what the sap actually was IT WAS WEE AND POO!!!.

THE STREET RACE!!!
On the 27th of July we had a cross - country but in stead of calling it cross - country we called it the Street race the modern cross - country. We had to be in different teams in age level me and my friends were in year 4 and 5. Every one was excited wondering what place they would come my best friends thought they would 5th and 6th but they came 17th and 18th and I thought I would come 3rd but I came 4th after every one had gone people who have made it to Rabbit Island is the people who came third in there age level I was so lucky that the person who came at front of me was year 4 so I made it to rabbit Island awesome!!!.
OLYMPICS
The Olympics games were held in London / England 2012
Every one can go to the Olympic games as long as they buy a ticket .
The first game was girls football, NZ vs Jamaica which NZ won 5/ 1. Awesome!!!. I am doing a project on shot put. My favorite person was Valerie Adams who got silver but at the end of the Olympics people found out the person who came first was taking drugs so Valerie Adams came first. Woo Ho for Valerie Adams .
Rock-da house is people singing songs and having fun . At Rock-da house you can audition to get a soloist part to sing on your own or in a duet with someone only two people can make it out of every school . The people who arranged it are Paulette and John Paulette and John are supportive to make us sing better. Me and my friends auditioned for fun but when we found the results me and Makayla made it I was so surprised. After a while I didn't want to do it because it wasted all my time but then Mr B , my teacher didn't let me get out of it. Sometimes I have to sing
to room 6, 4 and 3 and once I had to sing at Assembly. Once when we were singing songs a boy from our school got on the stage and sang Hey-soul sister. He was so good we got to have three people from our school doing it.
Oral Health Week
At oral health week we had to make posters about teeth and we had to do reports about decay and all that. At the end of the week we had a shared lunch with healthy food like chicken, carrots, cheese and Oranges. After the feast, the Packston's and I had a game of soccer on the court.

The second game we lost but after that we were coming 3rd then we were coming first place. Then we had to play the first team from the other pool, Parklands 2.
The game has begun for first and second. Fergus dribbles it up. Raven's by the goal. Fergus chips it. Raven gains full control. He kicks it. It's a goal!!. It's second half. Nobody scores. Yes "we are the champions my friend... no time for losers cause we are the champions... etc etc etc ..."
