Glenbrae school M.O.T.A.T trip y/4 y/5 y/6

Have you ever been to the museum of transport and technology (M.O.T.A.T) in Auckland New Zealand?.
Y/4 Y/5 and Y/6 at Glenbrae School all went
for a wonderful exciting trip to M.O.T.A.T. to learn about
water and a little bit about air too. My favourite bit was visiting
the Victorian village. I enjoyed visiting Willow Cottage that was
built by Mr William Bagnall and the black smith's FORGE where they build jousting weapons and tools.
After that we went to the challenge room to test our courage in our
most feared places like in a thunder storm or an
earthquake.Then we had to go to the pump house
to meet a guy called Mike and he told us how the
water pump works but he didn't turn the pump on.
Mike said, “It is just like riding a bike”. It was a huge wheel.

Animal cruelty

My diary

Monday March 28Th 2011
A few days ago on the weekend I went to the Pakauranga pools for a nice swim I asked James my best friend if he wanted to come along. James was allowed to come he quickly grabbed his swimming gear and we headed off. My dad Danny was taking us but he didn't want to go swimming. After that we went to the movies but James’ dad took us and James’ family.

On Saturday a fine day ,my dad, my nan, my auntie and I all went to the market and then we went to McDonald's to get a super sundae each. We got the sundae so we didn't get hot because we went to Kelly Tarltons to see wonder full under water sea creatures.

I am poem

I am poem

VERSE 1

I am passionate and friendly
I wonder why people are killing our planet
I hear people crying
I see people walking
I want to be a scientist
I am passionate and friendly


I pretend to be a billionaire
I feel shakes inside of me
I touch a parakeet
I worry about the world ending
I cry when someone leaves to another country
I am passionate and friendly


I understand that life is hard
I say hello to people
I dream of wrestling
I try to see the weather patterns
I hope I get ear plugs
I am passionate and friendly

The seven stars of Matariki myth

9/6/11
Stuck in the very dreadful and exhausting desert the seven shape shifters dug themselves out
of the skin burning sand and were scavenging for human flesh.

The shape shifters drove the humans towards them by tricking them with the sounds of their relatives voices.The shape shifters turned into vicious deadly animals and disturbingly slaughtered them to death.

The Sky God was so frustrated that the seven shape shifters continued to destroy the human population.The sky god thought up an evil and mysterious plan. He trapped the seven shape shifters while they were stuck in animal form in a magical black net and sent them so far away in the millenniums that today we could only see them in the shape of the seven stars known as Matariki.
There names are Waiti, Wita, Waipun a rangi, Tupu a nuku, Tupu a rangi and Uruarangia.
