Campsite Trip!

-Campsite

 “Hurry up Kelsey the bus is about to arrive!!” shouted Brittney. Brittney is Kelsey’s older sister 

who is born 2 years before Kelsey and is very protective over her. Kelsey quickly packed her 

stuff away and replied “Just a second Britt!” Kelsey rushed outside the door and saw her best friend

 Hailey waiting for her on the bus. She hopped on the bus and sat near the seat beside her. The girls

 started talking, then after a very long ride, they finally arrived to the RoseWood Campsite. The counselor

 of the camp told the class all the rules about the camp. The counselor also told the class a very

 important story that happened a long time ago. In 1968, there was a class camping at this exact 

campsite. There was a group of girls in one of the cabins and everynight, they would hear loud noises

 from outside of the door. They told one of the counselors and on that same night, each of the girls was 

gone missing one by one and till this day now, they still haven't found the group of girls. “ANYWAYS like

 I said, go into your groups and go and check out your cabins” Kelsey was in a group with 3 other girls

 including her sister and they all was so terrified. The 4 girls went into their cabins and went on the bunk

 bed. They all put their stuff in place and was talking about what they wanted to do during the camp. 

The girls talked for a long time in fact, the moon came up. The girls decided to take a break from all the

 talking because they got really tired and decided to get some sleep because they have breakfast

 tomorrow and have to wake up early.  That night, the girls heard strange noises and got really scared. 

 next morning, Kelsey told the whole story to one of the counselors and they were very confused 

because the story happened a long time ago. They decided that it wasn’t safe for the girls to stay in that

 cabin anymore so they had to sleep in tents. Once again, they heard strange noises and thought it was

 just the wind but the noise got louder and louder. They went under the blanket and stayed silent. 

The sound was coming closer and closer. One of the girls was gone missing and the rest saw a dark,

 black shadow roaming around the forest. That day, all the girls went missing...

The Road Ahead

The Road Ahead l By Tracey

It was a beautiful day where the sun was shining and Hulk decided to go for a walk around his new neighbourhood. While he was walking on the road, he suddenly saw a sign saying no exit and was so curious enough that he walked ahead. He walked and walked but he still didn’t notice anything. He felt like he was walking around the road over and over again. Until, he noticed that everything around him didn’t change and he knew for a fact that he was walking around in circles. He was very confused at that moment and didn’t know what was going on. Hulk had a very smart idea that he wanted to try and thought it might work. He turned around and walked the other way hoping that he would find his way back. But unfortunately, everything stayed the same. The trees and houses were the same, the grass and ground was the same and it . But unfortunately, nothing had changed. He walked in one of the house entrance praying that they would know what to do. When he knocked on the door, nobody answered. He knocked at another person's house, but they didn’t answer. Just to be sure, Hulk went to another house and knocked while he was crossing his fingers at the back of him. Finally, he saw someone open the door and was so relieved to see a young little girl with light brown hair and green eyes standing near the door and glaring at him. The girl asked “Do you need something?” Hulk replied “Actually I do need something, would you show me the way back to my house please?” the little girl was so surprised that a big green ugly creature didn’t even know how to find his way back to his own house, but she was nice enough to lend him some help. Hulk and the little girl walked back to Hulk’s house. Hulk then saw his house and was very surprised of why and how. He thanked the little girl for helping him and she replied with you’re welcome. The little girl then walked back to her house but couldn’t seem to find it. It seemed like she was walking in circles.

Shipwrecked

Shipwrecked

Once upon a time in a far far away land, there was a mystery place where

there were no creatures and absolute silent. All there was were clouds, a

dark shadow, a rocking ship and a rocky type of mountain. One evening,

when sunset came, there was a unknown human and it’s crew.

The humans came walking on the ice coming towards the rocking ship.

They went inside the ship and stole treasure that wasn’t even theirs and

without permission. Suddenly, they heard a noise coming from the other

side of the boat. It was Emily! Emily was the owner of the ship and was

in the legend named the Mystery of the Missing Boat. The legend goes

like this. Back in 1984, there lived a girl who owned a ship. Her parents

gave it for her 16th birthday. This ship has been passed on by generation

to generation and started from Emily’s great, great grandmother. One day,

Emily’s cousin Katelyn came to visit her with her crew. But, you have to

understand one thing, Emily and Katelyn didn’t get along very well. When

They were both 16, when Emily got her first ship, Katelyn became very

jealous of Emily because she got a ship and Katelyn didn’t. From that

day on, Emily and Katelyn began fighting about everything, even the

Things that aren’t even that serious. Katelyn decided to get her revenge.

She decided to bring her crew with her and steal Emily’s stuff.

Katelyn and her crew went inside the ship and stole all of Emily’s special

things that meant alot to her. When Emily came back, she noticed that

there were people in her ship. She ran up to her ship as fast as she could

and noticed that her cousin Katelyn was there with her crew...

Student Led Conference

Today, my parents came to see if I am doing well with my learning 

and what I am struggling with. I was showing my parents what level 

I am on in reading, writing, maths and spelling. My dad was really 

proud of me and I was really proud of myself too! I also told my parents 

what Fire and Ace was. After I showed my parents about my learning, I 

asked Miss Wrack if we were finished and she replied with a funny joke 

but I forgot what it was. Then I went to the juniors playground and I walked 

around and talked with my friends while my parents were waiting in the 

car for me. 

Reflection For Ms Wrack

In school, we explored and learnt what was inside of an broken Chromebook with Ms Wrack. My group and I grabbed our self a screw driver and opened up the screen of the Chromebook. There was this weird green object that was tied around the edge of the screen and one of my friends pulled it out. I enjoyed learning and exploring about what are inside of Chromebooks, but the frustrating part about opening a Chromebook was how you fix and place all the little pieces of the keyboard and the Chromebook in place again. I also found it very hard to find all of the missing pieces of the Chromebook.

Dog Safety

On the 28th of June, we learnt about dog safety with Nick and Mitchell. They first gave us books that was all about dogs and they also explained that you always have to ask the owner if you have permission to touch the dog. Then Nick and Mitchell brang the two dogs named Fergie and Chase. They were both really cute but then Nick ask us all to spread around the room and stand in a spot and the dogs will walk around us. They also said that if we are scared we coukd stand next to out teacher. I wanted to go to my teacher but I would be the only one standing next to my teacher so I decided not to go. When the two dogs went next to me I got super scared and wanted to go home but then the two dogs just left and I guess standing like a tree really does help get away dogs. At the end of the session, Nick and Mitchell told us if we wanted to touch Fergie and Chase, we had to lone up and touch them!

All About Me

Hello, my name is Tracey and I’m 10 years old. I am a Year 5 and in Room 10 with a lovely and intelligent teacher named Miss Litchfield. The school I go to is Glen Taylor School.

My favourite activity to play is a math game called Prodigy with my friends and I am good at maths. My goal for this year is to get more better at reading, writing and learn decimals. I enjoy making google drawing out of different shapes.

I am looking forward to learning more decimal points and square roots. I am going to achieve  this by practising everyday.

Solar System

There are eight different types of planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Other objects of matter in 

the solar system are the dwarf planets. The solar system formed around 4.6 billion years ago and it includes the Sun and all the objects that orbit around it due to its gravity.

Venus is often called the Earth's sister because they both are almost the same size and have about the same mass. Venus also rotates backwards compared to Earth and the other planets. It is named for the Roman goddess of love and beauty and is the second largest terrestrial planet. Venus is the third brightest object of Earth's sky and the second planet from the Sun.

There are five different dwarf planets in the solar system, they are Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, 

Makemake and Eris. The other dwarf planets are found in the outer solar system. The largest 

dwarf planet in the solar system is Pluto. Pluto  is named after the Greek god of the underworld

and was discovered on February 18th, 1930 by the Lowell Observatory.

I chose the solar system for my report because I think that there are lots of interesting facts about 
the solar system. I think I now know lots of information about planets and the solar system.

Taking Flight

Dad took Tony to Grandpa’s because he had some very important business to finish. Tony felt upset because he didn’t want to stay at Grandpa’s, he wanted to spend more time with Dad. Dad also promised Tony that he would play with him. Dad dropped off Tony at Grandpa’s. When Tony got out of the car, he saw Grandpa. Grandpa was old, tall and he had grey hair with wrinkles. Dad got back in they car and drove to his unfinished business. “Now you sit here while I moan the grass.” said Grandpa. Tony got really bored so he laid down with his teddy. Then he found an old, rusty picture of Dad when he was a kid in a wagon with Grandpa standing nearby. He stacked boxes on top of each other to reach the picture. Then everything fell on tops of Tony. Grandpa suddenly heard a big BANG!!!!!! He walked towards Tony and was very shocked! He gazed at the wagon and the picture of him and Dad. It gave him back old memories when they used to go on super fun adventures together. Grandpa decided to do it again but with Tony. They went to a waterfall and an air plane. Dad got back and Grandpa’s house and saw him and Tony with a big mess. “Why are you two so messy?” he asked. Dad also looked at the old picture of him and Grandpa with his wagon. “Is that my wagon?” Then they all went on an adventure together.

A Cat's Moment In Time

                                               A Cat’s Moment In Time
                             I saw the stars shining bright up in the midnight sky.
                          I saw dark, black creepy spiders crawling around the fence.
                               I heard the old wise owl hooting in the tall trees.
                               I heard dogs barking around the neighbourhood
                                 I smelt dead rotten fish ready to be eaten.
                                         I smelt the windy cold breeze.
                            I tasted smoke coming out of an old rusty chimney.
                                 I tasted the juicy fish in front of my eyes.
                              I wondered if there was anything else to eat.
                             I wondered how life would be if I was a human.

Making Playdough!

Today on June 1st, We had Ms Wrack come over to Room 10. First, Ms Wrack put us in to to 3 different groups. Then after morning tea, we went to the staff room and put all the ingredients on the counter. Each group had a turn to make play dough! There were different kinds of play dough recipes. 2 of them were the same ingredients but poured differently and the amounts were different. I felt really excited standing around the counter because I've never made play dough before! Today, I learnt about measurements! Miss Litchfield then came in the staff room and asked me to go in the library because I had to do a test. When I came back, I joined my group and we poured the ingredients in a bowl, then Ms Wrack put it on the stove and we mixed then played!

My Holiday

In the weekend, I went mini golfing with my friend Erin & her family. I didn't want to go because it would be embarrassing if I got last. I started off bad but gradually got better. In the first round, my golf ball got stuck under the bridge so I was coming last. But on the fourth round was a glow in the dark place and I got it in the hole on my first try so I was first. After we finished, Erin's mum counted who got the most points and I got third. Then her family and I went to get KFC snack box and drinks and. After, Erin's mum took me us back home to their house and we had a sleepover!

Culture Festival

29-03-18

Last week, we had our culture festival. First, we put on our

uniform and Miss Faalili did our hair and makeup. Then we

watched our parents arrive to our school and sat down on

the chairs. The girls and I went to the bathroom to see what

we looked liked and agested our lavalava because it was

falling down and we didn’t want that to happen on stage.

Then, the Samoan group lined up and went down to the field.

Then Mrs Wrack and the house captains introduced our family

to our first ever 2018 culture festival. After the announcement,

All the groups went on the stage and danced. After the Pacifica

Pearls went up, the samoan group went up on stage and was

getting ready for our girls dance. Then we did our school sasa

and our parents and family members were cheering for us. After

Culture Festival was done, Myat and I got our shoes and her sister

Picked us up and we went back to her house.
