Winter on the way

Winter is on the way! Here is my poem on winter in Taranaki:

Game Gone Wrong

Have you ever wasted a fortune on something you thought would last but it didn't?

''Go Te Kiri!''I yelled supportively. Standing up in the stands screaming like there was no tomorrow. Arched back, Stick on the ground everybodies eyes were focused on one thing. The white,gleaming ball. Waiting for the the whistle. The endless wait was building up tension all around. Everybody was claiming energy to burn. It is time. BRING ON THE THUNDER!

Everyone jumped into action. Spirit fulled the air full of joy and happiness. Legs turned into a blur.  Leaning forward everyone wad trying to claim the ball. Cheerleaders on the sideline (who were my brother and friends) cheered them on.Edging closer to the goal Te Kiri was fire lighting up the turf.

Accelerating into the circle edging closer and closer. Hawera was firmly behind trying to catch Te Kiri. Nerves were looming in the area.  They are almost there. Dad found space through the swarm of defence and smacked it into the corner of the goal. 

CRACK! The sickening sound rang out loudly.The goalie gear suffocated dads stick. The deafening noise poisoned my ears. Shards and cracks stuck out of the handle that was no longer connected. ''There goes a lot of money for a new one'' Dad said halve-hearted. At least he got the goal in I thought.

It will only cost $500 for a new one right?!

Mt Egmount

This is Taranaki's Mountain. It is called Mount.Egmount. Lots of people climb it everyday. It hasn't erupted for over 100 years and could erupt any time soon . On cold days/night the top of the mountain is covered in snow. On warm days it doesn't have much snow and a lot of the rocky hilltop is visible.

Goodbye Sweets

Dear Lollies,
It's over. We're done! We can no longer be together. I can no longer resist you. You will no longer tempt me and allow me to smell your sweet aroma wafting out of the packet. If you see me in the grocery store heading your way and deny you know me. My dentist says if I keep on seeing you my teeth will turn into rot. We had some good times together having picnics in the park, evening snacks and occasional everyday rashuns but my stomachs agrees with me about saying goodbye to you. You have been a dear Friend to me when I was lonely. You have also became Friends with my mouth greeting her everyday. It all has to finish for the best. Maybe I will see you again some day.
Sincerely Madaline.

Awesome experiment

My class has been talking about brands and Mr Spice suggested to us that certain brands can make some people behave differently. He used the example of two different kinds of milk and how some people thought one tasted better than the other. So today we put that to the test and Mr Spice poured a small bit of Coke in one cup marked 'cup B' and a small bit of Pepsi in a cup marked 'cup A'. We did not know which one and had to guess the one that the coke was in. Easy right?
Well, we tallied up all the results and 20 out of our 28 us got it wrong! We couldn't tell at all and realised that maybe there is more to a product than what we think.

Netball results

I had netball on Wednesday and we faced opunake. We had no subs but sadly lost 10-0. Even though we lost we still had a wonderful game though. Also today was netball trails for the year 5-6 and I made it in the team!! Well done to Nochole who got player of the day in my team.

Our Trip to Palmerston North

Over the few days, Mum, Jorja and I went to Palmerston North to visit our Nana and Grandad. The best part of going to palmy was seeing my Nana and Grandad and of course SHOPPING!!! We went to the Plaza to do our shopping. I went to many shops and brought a lot of stuff. It was a lot of fun and can't wait to go again.
