fishing with my bro

Today me and my brother Shelford<< Shelford's blog<< went to Point England beach to fish. We got the all our equipment ready.

Once we were all ready me and Shelford walked down to the beach. When we were at the beach me and Shelford split up me going the Point and Shelford going to the rock to get some periwinkles for bait. But I realized that we were wasting time so I called Shelford in.

Shelford asked the other lady's that were fishing if we could have some little sprats and she gave the ones that they didn't want. So I cast the line out. I then started to get Shelford's rod ready and when  I cast Shelford's line out I got a big bite and I  dropped the rod and reeled it in as fast as I could for a moment me and Shelford thought it got away but it pulled again once I got it up one of the lady's came to help. And we left at six o'clock. And my dad was happy when I showed him.

Parakai Springs

Me and my family went out to Parakai Springs. It was a one hour drive from our house in Point England.
Once we got to the pools we looked for a space to sit. Me and Shelford took our clothes off and went straight in to the water. I was expecting the water to be cold but it was warm. Me and Shelford started to bomb and that's when my dad's jumped in with my little sister Keyana.

We all started to get board of swimming so we when on the slide with the blue broads. We went on a tiresome journey up the long stairs. Me Shelford and my dad when up to the biggest slide and my other dad went with my younger sister Keyana to the smaller slide. Once we were at the bottom my dads and my sister didn't want to go again but me and Shelford went down about seven times.

When we got tied of the slide we got something to eat once we finished we went to the hotter pools inside. Before we left the pools we spent some time in the hot pools. And when we left to go home I fell asleep in the car.

six sentence story

Once upon a time, a boy named Kyal had a talent for drawing with his hands and fingers. Everyone knew him for his intelligence, he could create and was treated kindly and he was very helpful around the community. He also went to church and he knew how to show sympathy but found it hard to show empathy. He didn't even know what empathy was. So he ran away because he didn't know what it meant.

coromandel

Last weekend my family and my uncle from Wales in the United Kingdom  went on a trip to the coromandel. When I woke up I didn’t really want to go because I wanted to say home and play minecraft but my dad told me it was a family outing so I had to go. I tried to take my time getting my togs ready but I had one hour to get ready.Once we had all your things together we left the house and got some drinks.

Then we left Auckland and I fell asleep in the back. But when I woke up we were outside the gas station. Me and my dad were wondering why there were lot of muscle cars. We asked someone that had parked outside the gas station and the man said because there was a beach hop so all the muscle cars go to all the beach’s in the coromandel.

When we got to the hot water beach we hired some shovels so we could dig a pit in the sand. Once we finished our sand pit the hot water came in.

When we were too hot we would go into the sea and we would cool down. Then we went down to Hahei and ate some lunch. When I finished my food I went swimming. When I was getting shellfish me and my brother saw a eagleray come towards us.

Tamaki College sports

Tamaki College, a place located in Glen Innes, and just down the road from Point England School. Tamaki college has a variety of cultures but mostly Maori and Polynesian. Some faces would appear familiar to others. That’s because some students from Tamaki college attended Point England school.

We go to Tamaki College because it gives the older students experience with younger students for other sports activities. We come down so were not stuck in the class all day. The tutors are Year 12 students that attend Tamaki College. They are teaching us P.E. skills. They help us learn about leadership  for N.C.E.A.

P.E. helps to us get fitter and it helps to train our muscles. It helps for long term health or even  we can become interested in sports or social activities.

Our experience with sports at Tamaki College is fun and can sometimes be exciting. It includes different activities like electric fence, blindfolded course (things like jumping on to things).

Cyclone poster

A cyclone is a big spinning collection of winds. Cyclones and hurricanes are usually named after women, thats why the cyclone was called Lusi.

New Zealand was lucky that it wasn't deadly. Cyclones in the past have been  deadly. Cyclones are a bit like tornadoes but they don’t suck things and they don’t come down to the ground but still can kill.

Cyclones are created by the winds from the southern hemisphere and  northern hemisphere come together and make a wind vortex. And it can move where the wind blows
