Royal Albatross

In my Reading group I Have been Learning about Albatrosses and where they live. This is a Presentation that I made in Google presentation.

New Zealand's Haka

This is a movie about the Ka mate Haka. It is performed by the All Blacks but made by Te Rauparaha.

The RWC in New Zealand

I believe that the RWC tournament will benefit New Zealand because all the money will help to re-build Christchurch. It will also help with the community.

Even though people will buy drinks and might get drunk, it will sort of be good because they are giving their money to businesses.

I hope that New Zealand wins because the last time they won was in 1987. Keep your eye on the ball NZ!

I Am Making Movies 2 Competition

Last week on Sunday some kids represented our school by entering the I am making movies 2, and they went down to the Museum for the Awards. I went with them because my mum was a part of representing our school.

As soon as we arrived at the Museum we went straight inside because it was raining and cold. A few minutes later we were getting ready to go into the elevators but there was a huge line so we had to wait a while. Not long after we were in the big room where the awards were, we were sitting on our chairs waiting for the it to start.

Just to let you know the hosts were Charlie of What Now and Sheryl of Outrageous Fortune. Anyway as soon as our school saw their movies they were happy because they won lots of the categories. When I saw their movies I was amazed because I thought that they were awesome compared to the other school’s one’s.

In the end my mum’s class won the SUPREME award so they received a digital video camera. I am so lucky that my mum took me because me and two other kids got to take a picture with Sheryl and Charlie.

Presenting in Wellington

“Oh no come on Kingston get your stuff! ” I said to myself. As soon as I was up I went straight to put my uniform on and make my lunch.

On the 19th of May the Pt England Ambassadors went to Wellington and I am one of them. As soon as I got to school I went straight to the office to get my jacket and netbook. As all the ambassadors arrived to school, Mr and Mrs Burt made sure we were all at school and ready to go.

Stopping at the airport made my friends and I happy because we were all really desperate to go on the plane. As soon as the plane departed from the airport my ears started to hurt badly, but as much as I wanted to cry I just put up with it. Anyway on the plane my friends and I logged onto our netbooks and played a game called Burger Space.

“OK troops off the plane now” Mr Burt instructed to us. Soon we were trying to find a cab to take us to the Te Papa Museum, then suddenly we found one. After we had finished exploring the Museum we got ready to go and present our presentation. Before that we had a practice.

Minutes later everybody was in the hall waiting for us to present. I was a bit nervous because there were a lot of people but I still went on and did my job. After we had finished I thought that we had done a good job. We also got to go on our netbooks.

At the end of the day we had explored lots of places in Wellington and done heaps of stuff. We even had lunch at this place. To top everything off at the end of the day we went to a place called the Koru Lounge. It is a place where lots of rich people go and we went in. Everybody in there were surprised to see us in there, so we were lucky.

Suddenly the day started to end and we were just getting ready to go back to Auckland. At the end of the day I had lots of fun and had a good experience.

This is the second time it has happened. The Earthquake had demolished Christchurch, and turned it into a disaster zone.

While the earthquake was happening there were tumbling buildings that were crushing people. It must of been sad for the families that have lost a family member, or family members, that got crushed under all the debris and rubble The Prime Minister named it as New Zealands darkest Day.

The people that got crushed under the rubble got seriously injured or even dead, thats how bad it is. So far the death toll is 75, and their are 300 people missing. If you didn't see anything about it you go on Google and type in Christchurch earth earthquake.

How the Birds got their Colours

Have you ever wondered why some birds are brightly coloured and some are just plain?

A long time ago all the birds were black. There were big ones, medium ones, and small ones. But they were all the same dull colours.
Sam the dove was looking for food. He saw a big fat worm and he was swooping down to get it.
But the worm escaped and Sam stood on a sharp stick. It was very painful.
All Sam’s friends came to see if they could help. All except crow who was a selfish bird. He stayed away.
Then parrot went up and burst Sam’s foot with his sharp beak. All the blood burst out on the birds making them colourful.
All except crow, he stayed black....
Elizabeth, Kingston and Julia have retold this story about how the birds came to be all different colours, all that is, except the crow!
