Market Day

Mr Bloor has been busy once again and came up with this wonderful video of our school market day. Enjoy!

cross country

On friday it was cross country. I was in the ten year old girls against 6 other people. 2 of my opponents bet me and I managed to come 3rd. In a few weeks I get to go to mount sps and face the other people from different schools.

Market day!

Today it was market day and my whole school contribubuted a product to sell to each other and the parents. My group was making cardboard wine racks and we painted them red, black and white. We had 8 to present and sell and we managed to sell out! at the end our group made a profit of $68.50. We did really well and so did the other groups. Well done everybody!

Toilet Trouble

Bursting bladder, eyes bulging. Barely holding it back. Flushed cheeks from all the effort. The aroma from behind the door grows smellier by the second. "Hurry up Taylor" I yelled ferociously. Crossing my legs, rubbing my knees together. Scuffing up and down the polished floor, waiting, waiting, waiting.

Trickling water droplets falling from the tap. Plop!Plop! Stuck in a world of urine. Drops of water jumping into the basin and disappearing down the drain. Tasting my saliva rolling around my mouth. Every movement was making me more tense. One more minute and I was a goner.

Suddenly from behind the door, I hearthe rustle of the toilet paper roll. Finally I can have my freedom! Flush! The door opens and the figure of my brother walks out of the room, leaving a disgusting odour behind him. "What took you do long!" I moaned angrily. "I had to do my business" he replied

Urgently opening the door, pulling down my pants, blocking the smell with my fists. Hopping on the toilet seat... Aaah!

Bursting bladder no more, just an empty one.

Jupiter

It is the 5th planet from the sun. It is the largest planet in the solar system. You guessed it... Jupiter! Jupiters a gas giant with a mass of one thousanth! Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen with a quarter of it being heluim. Jupiter has been explored on sevaral occasions by robotic spacecrafts to see if there is anything on land. The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the solar system. The great red spot is a persistant anticylonic storm, south of jupiters equator. Observation from earth establish a minimum storm lifetime, between 300 and 400 years. It is desribed as a permanent spot. The great red spot has a cool centre. It is not known exactly what causes the great red spots reddish colour. Theories supported by labotories experiments suppose that the colour may be caused by complex, organic molecules, red phosphorus, or yet another sulfur compound. Jupiter may also have a rocky core. Surrounding jupiter has a faint planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere. When viewed from earth, jupiter can reach a apparent magnitude of -2.94, bright enough to cast shadows, and making it on average the third brighest object in the night sky after the moon and venus. Jupiter is a marvelous, awing planet and one of the most favourite planets in the universe.

White chocolate, Is it chocolate?

Why is White Chocolate white when it has Cocoa in it?!

-Cocoa butter

Do you ever wonder if white chocolate is actually chocolate? It contains cocoa so surely it is? White chocolate consists on these ingredients: Sugar, cocoa butter, milk, vanilla and lecithin.  White Chocolate isn’t actually chocolate though because white chocolate doesn’t have any chocolate solids in it. Though white chocolate contains extracted chocolate butter, it lacks the component that defines real chocolate. White chocolate smells sweeter than ordinary chocolate because cocoa butter has the distinct chocolate smell. White chocolates main ingredient is cocoa butter which is a vegetable fat that comes from the cocoa bean but it’s not classified as chocolate. Cocoa butter has very faint chocolate flavour, so no wonder it doesn’t taste much like chocolate! In conclusion, I believe white chocolate shouldn’t be called chocolate, because it doesn’t have any chocolate in it does it. Do you believe me?

Kelly Tarltons

On Wednesday my family and I went to Hamilton. Also we drove up to Auckland to visit Kelly Tarltons. This is the movie I made of the action:

My pick a path story

My new makeup

Madaline New make-up

Dear Madaline,
Today was a huge mistake. I didn't mean to hit you in the face, you know I didn't, don't you? At least people think it's just your new makeup! Here's my side of the story...

A scrimmage of sticks happened between me and the opponent. I gave him a glare saying ''Back off otherwise there will be conceqeunces'' With my eyes. He ignored me so the only option was to hand the treasure off to you. I knew you would get a goal. Knowing you needed support, I tagged on behind you. Little did either of us know that your happiness would come to a arupt end.

Lying on the ground, you were in emense pain, wincing from the agony. Clenching your eye I knew this was trouble. Barely able to stand up, The audience watches in horror as they see the causer of this agony. On your lower eyebrow was a big, cylindrical bump bulging out of your freckled face.

Pityful, I expain it was'nt my fault it was the defender. I went to flick it into the goal and the defender made it get lifted into your eye, without no warning. You didn't take any of it all you did was ecuse me of a crime I didn't persue. Walking away defeated, My head buried in sorrow. I had just hurt my sister and I didn't even do it.

Will you ever forgive me? anyway, the makeup looks really good on you!
Sincerly,
Your honest, mournful sister.

  

A disaster

Today my Grandad came out to the farm and a disaster happened. He was on a cliff planting some trees by a river and he misplaced his foot. Suddenly he went plunging down into the river with a range of about 20  metres. Luckily he wasn't badly hurt. All he had was a cut near his eye. He got soaked and I felt really sorry for him. Get better soon Grandad!
