If I won the lotto


If I won the Lotto…


Oh my! Winning the lotto is one of everyone's dreams and I would love be in the position of one of the lucky people who take home the big bucks. Here are the things I would do…




First I would call all the people I know to tell them the news and that they should come over tomorrow for an EPIC party!! But I can’t possibly invest ALL my money on the world's most AWESOME party so I will give a chunk of money to charity so I can feel like my spend is not going to be a waste, although this party will be memorable forever!




To start I will hire a catering service, the finest of fine. Then I would go out and buy the highest quality drinks to serve. Next stop would be a store to buy gold and diamonds to use as decorations to signify that I was rich. I would get gold plates implemented by diamond silverware and shiny rose gold napkins. I would buy the finest quality park bags and the most expensive entertainment. Then it would be party time!!




You can choose between talking, listening to comedy, dancing, singing, eating, watching a circus show or even watching a concert. But once the clock strikes 6pm we all enjoy the finest dinner and at 7pm a buffet of desert will surround us. Then we can have fun together until dawn.




When the guests have had enough (that could be never!) they can treat themselves to a party bag fit for royalty. Unfortunately I would now be on cleaning up but I managed to hire a cleaning service who made my house and garden cleaner than before!!

3D shapes

Lately in maths we have been learning about 3D shapes. I made a cube and 2 Pyramids. We learnt about faces , edges and vertices. It was nice to learn about 3D shapes instead of re-learning what we already know about 2D shapes. I loved making shapes. 

Persuasive Writing

In Writing we have been learning about how to write persuasive writing. We created a first draft then edited it by looking to see if our arguments made a point. Next we fixed up our introduction and conclusion. This was very fun and I learnt a lot. My topic is "Why we should all live a healthier life". 



Why We All Should Make An Effort To Live A Healthier Life



I bet you enjoy sitting on the couch with a massive ice cream sundae on your lap watching tv. What you should be doing is going a speedy walk to pick up a salad. We can all agree that we should start to live a healthier life, but why??? Keep on reading to find out!

Firstly, laying around all day eating mcdonalds in a dark closed in space will make you tired, lazy and possibly even sick because of the lack of exercise, fresh air, light and healthy food. As an alternative scenario you could choose a healthy fast food meal such as a subway salad or Pita Pit. Then do something outside before watching tv in a light open area.

Part of being healthy is about being happy and social. If you aren’t then you might become grumpy and moody. Every once in awhile when you find time its a good idea catch up with your friends at an organic cafe. Say no to fried eggs and say yes to scrambled ones. Say no french fries and say yes to wedges. You will leave feeling social, healthy and hopefully happy. Having a girls day out can never hurt either!

Lastly we all want to live for ages! Living an unhealthy life may be enjoyable at the time but later you will regret it. You may fall sick and live for shorter than you may have if you had lead a healthier life earlier. Getting a head start is key if you want to live for longer. So let's be healthy and live for longer!!!!

Now that we all know some reasons why we should live a healthier life why would we hesitate to begin our journey to live one!!! Even if you only make a couple of small tweaks to your life I bet you will see a difference someday. From this second on let's all be healthier!!!!!!!

Drax Project Tour

For our passports in topic I made a Drax Project band tour plan. The task was to create a two week tour plan for a New Zealand band. I chose Drax Project for mine. In the tour they started in Auckland and went down to Invercargill then back up to Auckland. They performed many shows around the country. Here is a photo of it.

Cultural Festival

On Saturday we went to the Cultural Festival. First I did my Irish dancing which was fun and tiring. We had lunch then got ready for our Kapa haka. Both times I was very nervous before I went on stage that I might forget what to do or that we all might forget what to do but we all did it perfectly!! It was a long, hot day but it was fun and worth it!

High Jump

A little while ago we had our high jump competition at school. I was nervous and excited as I waited for my turn. We started on 95 centimetres and then went up to 1 metre then up by 1 centimetre at a time. Soon we were down to 3 people as so many had dropped out. I was shocked! I was in the top 3!! One jump later we were up to two. We inched up a centimetre at a time until we were so high that I didn't clear it. I was sad but I was very happy I had come 2nd, But it was all about having fun!!

Athletics day!!

Yesterday was Athletics Day. We went on a short bus ride to the track before starting the day with the optional 800 metre race. Out of the 10 and 11 year old girls I came 3rd. Next was the 200 metre race I came 2nd in the heats and 4th in the final. After that was the 400 metre race and that was judged by time so I don't know what place I came overall but I won my heat. I didn't make the 100 metre finals because I came 5th but that was fun! Next was the field events. We did discus, shot put and long jump. It was a lot of fun but I'm sad I only have 1 Athletics Day to go!

Beak Science Experiment

Today we did an experiment on different bird beaks and what beaks pick up things better than others. We found that the flattest one picked up the paper best. The bent, pointy one picked up the gummy worms best and another flat one picked up the skittles best. We had fun and learnt a lot!

Comics

This week we were able to learn about writing and drawing comics. I created a comic about two of my own characters, puppy girl and cat boy. I learned how you start off with a small draft then you edit and expand it to become a better comic. This was very fun and I would do it again!!
