After that we had to take off our school close. then a man that teachs a group he just had to say some words about the roles. Then we got in to the groups. My instructor was a boy called Matthew. suddnelyI was the only one the didn't have my cap or goggles. in my group was Meleana, Michaela'o, Mikayla, Zayd, Mattisin, Evelyn, Tehya and me.

For and against bees

Reasons for and against bees the links that I have been read. link 1 link 2

This week I have been learning about bees. please leave a comment below. Thank you and enjoy.

Good things

Bads things

They make honey with pollen. They like flowers . They make food. They make flowers grow. That bees help everything grow by             Spring pollen and seed . Leave them alone and they will leave you alone. Honey bees can fly at speed of up to 15 miles per hour. Bees collect nectar from flowers and put it in the hive Beeswax makes great candles. Beeswax is a good water repellent. We use it to waterproof all kind of things such as boots and bags.

They sting you. When bees sting you they die. They make buzz at the afternoon. If they die there will be no more hanging. If you're allergic to a bee don’t go near it. Because you might die or you can lose consciousness  and your neck can get swollen and your eya ways can become blocked and it go to be Hard to breathe. If there’s a bee in a flower don’t touch the flower before it stings you.

Some fact about bees

Bumble bees only make a little bit of honey. Bumble bees don’t live in paper nets or or hive’s the but they live in Underground Burrows . At the end of summer the worker bees sometimes kill the Queen bee. Bees only live one season antle they die. Bumble bees live all over the U.S you might see them in meadows or orchards. The queen Bumble lays eggs will the worker bees bring the food and build a underground nest of wax Each Bumblebee has a special job. Honey bees can fly at speed of up to 15 miles per hour.

Partly Cloudy

Partly Cloudy

It was a beautiful summer sunny day, birds were flying around the city like little bees.The birds were nearly as tall as the tree’s. The clouds were pink and white the house’s where nice bright colours, and this is where the story started.

Once there was a very nice city and it was the most quiet city of all. The birds were flying around and giving out presents like Puppies, Cats, Babies and all sorts of things. The birds looked like seagulls with long beaks like Pinocchio. When the birds finished they would go back to the magical fluffy clouds that looked like cotton candy.

They are the magic clouds in the shining sky that make the presents and then the birds deliver them as a job, the birds love their job, except one bird that works for a dark grey cloud, all he can make is deadly, ferocious animals.  The dark grey clouds name is Gus, it’s not his fault he can only make dangerous animals, the reason is because he was a defect made by the cloud queen, but she was so nice she offered him a job as a cloud worker.  

One day Gus’ bird came back, and he wasn’t happy.

Gus had made a crocodile. The bird's name is peeck. Peck picked up the crocodile. “OUCH” the crocodile bit peek's head! Gus put the crocodile in the white bag. Peeck picked up the bag and flew away.  When peck came back Gus had already made another animal, a porcupine!  Gus had then made a Bighorn Sheep, then Peck delivered that.  Next thing that happened was, that Gus made a cloud of a shark, and Peck was terrified, so he flew away to a pink cloud, who gave him a big white bag.  Inside the bag was a mystery, but what Gus was feeling, was more important, Gus was so angry he felt like he could electrocute everything with his thunder and lightning.  He was so angry that he started crying over and over, until Peck came back to him with the big white bag.  Peck opened the bag, inside was armor to protect Peck from whatever was going to hurt him next, and for the rest of his life.  Gus was so happy that he made another animal, an eel, Peck decided to hold it, but they found out that is was electric!  Quite shocking!

Going down the slide

This week, I have been writing a story about Going down a Slide. I tried to describe how I was feeling and use some similes. I hope you enjoy it.

Going Down the Slide 

One stormy day, I was as nervous as I was before a maths test .I wanted to go down the big red slide, it was as red as a tomato. My hands were shaking like a blender was blending. My face was as red like it was going to explode and my legs shivering like I was in cold ice.

I took a deep breath in and went down the sidie. Then I went down the silde. I went like “ahhhhhhhhhhhh” I kept going down and down until I got to a edge of a big pile of pace balls. I nearly fell down but luckily I didn’t.

I was so scared and I jumped on the wall of plastic balls. I looked down one more time and I started climbing. I looked on the other side and I jumped on the other pile of plastic balls and I kept climbing until  I saw my Orange Plaster almost about to  fall down. Sadly it fell down and I closed my eyes and I caught it with my mouth and I opened my eyes. I shook my head when the plaster was in my mouth it was really really really yucky!

I let go of the plastic balls and I almost fell down but luckily I didn’t and lollipops saved my life. Then I grabbed on and kept climbing until  I got to the top yaaaaaaaaaay. The End .

The performance

On Wednesday 30th we did our extravaganza performance it happened at the High School Auditorium. My group was Outlook for Thursday .We wore summer clothes, sunglasses and a towel.

Also we got to bring your chromebooks to keep us entertain we also brought snacks because we would get really hungry. Ako Ngatahi and Wahi Ako people that don't go to choir went back to school. We were so surprised that we had to go back to school at night we went into Wahi Ako.

We went to Wahi Ako because it was going to be along time until we were going to be performing. So when we got there we got to pick what we do but it had to be something appropriate. Miss Scott witch is one of Wahi Ako teachers put on a movie the movie was the spy next door, but no one was watching it so they changed it to Scooby-Doo.

It was time to get our stuff ready so we went to over to the new hall and got the props. Miss Millard  gave out some lollies. After that we walked over to the High School and lined up in our line’s.

Then it was time, we went into the back room and the first group went up on the stage. After all of as finish doing the performance the Pacifica group had to get ready when we finished getting changed we went and lined up and went on stage we did a sasa, boys haka and a some dance they didn't have the song so we had to skip that. So when the School finished their performance the whole School went on stage and gave a bow.
