Last Friday I went to the circus. It was held at Anderson Park. When we walked into the tent it was dark. There were lots of people talking.
Suddenly two men came out to entertain us. It was really funny. When the show started a lady came out behind the curtains holding a long purple rope. She tied it to the pole on the tent and started to climb the rope like a sneaky spider.
Suddenly she fell but lucky she had her legs tied around the rope. We all gasped. Then we started clapping.When we finished clapping she reached the top. She started swinging. It was suddenly quiet, like a pen falling down.The lady tied her legs to the rope. She fell again and we gasped again. I thought it was scary but I still thought it was awesome.
The next part was a man coming out behind the curtains with a huge hula hoop and one little hula hope. He did some amaizing tricks with it. It was awesome.

My Role Model
Last term we studied role models. My role model is Margaret Mahy. She was an excellent author. She wrote lots and lots of books. She never gave up because she was persistent, and a passionate achiever about books. My favourite book was Lion in the Meadow.
Margaret Mahy died in 2012. And I am very proud I want to be just like her.

Hine's Autumn
Leaves changing colour, swirling down onto the green grass
Rotten brown leaves hanging off the deciduous trees
Green leaves on the evergreens
Branches with zero leaves, waving in the wind
Birds singing in the trees.
The sleep over
In the holidays I stayed for the night at my friend Kace's house.
At first we watched Amazing World of Gumball.Then we played on his ps3. We played skate3.
We then started to build a tree hut and then stabilised it. Then we went to our friend's house. Then we came back and had dinner . We built another hut inside.We put two bean bags on the grond in the hut and a small bed with no mattress for the side and blankets for the roof. We started to play tablet in the hut and we fell asleep.We went back to our friend's house then stated back on the hut again.

Gisborne
When I went to my mum's house, my little brother ran up to me and hugged me. Then he said, "Who dat?"
I said, "It's me, Bo. Its me, big brother Bo."
Then he said, "Bo."
At 7:30 me, Adam and my mum, went to go and get some K.F.C. On Monday I went to the pools and I went to the pools six times in a row and all the time when we finished having a swim at the pools, we went to go and get beef and onions. Mum said she will go and put 20 dollars in every week so I can go and get some All Stars.

Survival Swimming at Onekawa Pools
I stepped into the water, and then I did a big splash. On Wednesday 20th we went to the amazing Aquatic centre. When we got there we went to the splash park at Onekawa pools. I got heaps of pictures on the camera.
Then when we came back to the poool area we learnt how to do the "help" position, and how to get out of a rip current. You swim diagonally to get out of a rip current. Then we put lifejackets on. The first one I tried on was too small so I tried a different one and it fitted perfectly. Then we tried the group huddle, not in the water though. Then we stepped in the water. Not hopped, stepped. Then when the lady, who is called Maxine, blew the wistle we had to do something. Once, it meant to put your hand up straight. That means help when you're in the deep water, and two means to do the help position, and three and four mean to take your life jacket on and off.That was hard.
My huddle group was Manaia, Sylvia, JmeLee, alannah and me. we did all sorts of things. I loved it, but it was hard work.
then we had a free swim. i went on the slide. it was so cool.Then I went with Sylvia's grandmother back to school. She had a cool car.
I had an amazing day. I loved it.

Term One 2013
This term the year 5s have been on camp already, and the year 6s have had a week of Optimist yachting at Pandora Pond.
We will share some of our reflections from these activities.
Alex:
On the second night of Year 5 camp, we were eeling and the bulls were bellowing. It was annoying. We started to talk "bellow" back at them. So, the night went on with the bulls bellowing and us eeling.
When it was time to go to bed, I couldn't sleep because of the bulls bellowing. I started yelling at them to be quiet. I finally got to sleep around two in the morning.
Michelle:
At camp on Tuesday we went to the river. Manaia was screaming because she didn't like fish. She looked hideous. Mrs Henare took a photo of her screaming. We all laughed.
It all started when alex saw two big trout and they were long. Manaia didn't like fish so she screamed. We were making fun of her by saying, "Look! fish! Manaia there's a fish!"
We were all laughng hard core. It was so funny.
K-Lib:
At camp we went to the beach. It was fun because we caught sea creatures and I saw 5 crabs and lots of kina shells, beside and in the rocks.
