High jump. High jump is when you have a bar you must jump while doing the scissor jump and land on a mat. Sprints is when you must race other people to the finish line after your first race you will go all around the feld passing each athletics task. Discus when do ing discus you have a heavy thing that almost looks like a frisbee and you throw it as far as you can now shotput is like discus but with a heavy ball and you also throw it as far as you can.

                                         after we had planted all the plants we sat by the lake and had some yummy lunch                                 also the Bushlands trust and Summit forest gave us some ice blocks it was a lot of fun                                on the way back I went in my friend Dallas car this was definitely a fun experience to have                       thank you Bushlands trust and Summit forest for letting us help plant the plants

returning back

L4 26/3 -27/4 L3 28/3-13/5 L2 14/6-8/6 and now here we are at level 1. I am very happy to be back at level one and wish that we closed the borders before the wave of covid 19 arrived

We have now reached alert level one in New Zealand which means we have returned to normal and do not have a 2 meters distance and can have more then 100 people in one place we also have no more lines for shops things that were still closed will be open. here is a look back at the start and end date of all the levels

Powerful paragraphs

for a few weeks we have been doing powerful paragraphs we we get a photo and we can do a moment in time or what will happen next or what the person/animal  is feeling in that photo we also add things like similes and metaphors here is one of mine                                                     Grass as green as mint. Trees as dark as the night sky The sun glinted      through the top of the trees walking down this path where does it lead.

hanging baskets

A few days ago we made hanging baskets to put around the school me and my friend James did our one together it was a lot of fun make them how my and Jame s made was we filled the basket with some sort of dirt and start to plant the plants first plant we planted was a hanging plant one that would hang of the side of the basket them there was a few more on the side on some in the middle it was really fun to make. here is a picture

Why I think the borders in nz should stay closed for longer

Should the borders in nz stay closed for longer? yes! they should why because if we let heaps of people at once it will be really hard to identify who has covid 19 and we might have to go back in level 4 if covid 19 comes back in the country and if we go back in to level 4 we have more people to deal with which means we might have to go into level 4 for longer and it will be fun to know the borders are closed and covid 19 will be harder to get which will be safer and it would be sad to see the country have to go back in level 4 because covid 19 is back that is why I think the border should stay closed for longer

My Reflection on lockdown 2020

My second 100 word story

Time travelling

 By Liam

One day while at school I walked out of the bathroom and to my surprise school was gone,

all that was left was a huge volcano island.

I looked behind me and saw a brontosaurus staring at me.

I was scared, do i run, do i stay still, or do i yell

Help someone help, but i got no answer back.

I had always wanted to time travel back into the past but this wasn't what i wanted.

Thinking quickly i ran back into the bathroom turned around three times walked out and school was back.

I smiled once again

How I made my ANZAC poppy

With some help I cut a plastic coke 1.5 bottle near the bottom this made my poppy shape
I then picked some red petals from the garden and found a grass steam
With help I taped the petals around the inside of the plastic poppy shape to make the colour, i found a black seed for the centre of the poppy.
Then I taped it onto paper and attached the stem.
I then placed it in our front window

 On April the 7th it was my 10th birthday, mum had booked a trip down to Whangarei but as we were all in lockdown due to Covid19 mum made it special at home. 

When i had woke up there were balloons every where. When I got to the living room all my presents were waiting there for me to open. Here are some things I got 

 - 3 books, a puzzle, some money, an online art program, a scooter and a cool beanie filled with candy.
