Weta Workshop Poem

Weta Workshop Poem
 Looks like, big scary sculptures over seeing the walkways. Smells like, gold as the weta workshop has won lots of awards. Tastes like, a fresh coat of monsters. Sounds like, metal clanging on metal as they make new costumes. Feels like, heavy duty alien weapons. Lives in Weta Workshop.

Rat, Eagle, Lizzard

Slowly emerging out from under the hot desert sand appears a spiky lizard standing like a statue with curious ants investigating and climbing the spiky lizard then the lizard's mouth opens and a pink tongue comes out and scoops up the ants and eats them for lunch. Meanwhile a little rat hides out in a little tunnel hiding away from the 3 eagles wanting to eat him for lunch so they wait for the mouse to come out but the mouse go further into the tunnel so the eagles can't get it but then a big hairy tarantula scares the mouse forcing it to run back the other way but the eagles were still waiting for it so the mouse made a decision and ran out of the tunnel because the tarantula was still after the mouse so he run for its life as the eagles started chasing the little mouse across the hot desert sand with lots of obstacles to trip over but the rat tripped over on a little twig and rolled forward and the eagle quickly scooped up the mouse in its claws and peeked in to its flesh for lunch.

Wellington Writing

Day 1 Wellington Adventure
7:30 on a Sunday morning Room 4 started our Wellington adventure packing the big bus we were riding then picked our seats and then Don the person driving the bus started up the bus and we started moving but before we went to Wellington we had to pick up a few more people at Te Karaka. We stopped at Te Karaka to pick up the other kids that were going down to Wellington, then we started our adventure to go down to Wellington.

Don our bus driver stopped at Wairo for a toilet stop and a lot off people went to the toilet because it had been a couple of hours since we started our adventure from Matawai then Te Karaka then going to Wellington. When everybody hopped backed on the bus everyone sat back on their seats put their seat belts on and Don left Wairo for Wellington.

When we reached Silverstream Retreat the place we were staying at everyone hopped of the bus and unpacked their bags from under the bus in the storage space, we had a little snack then Mr Knight told us witch bedroom our bed group is and we unpacked our stuff and had dinner and went to bed. 




Day 2 Wellington Adventure
Next day we had a quick run not to far away from the Retreat then we had some breakfast then went to the Beehive and our tour guide took us around looking in the beehive and the other parliament then we went to Te Papa and had a look at what Gallopi would have look like back when the war was going on in the old days.

Day 3 Wellington Adventure
Next day we had a quick run not to far away from the Retreat and then went to go have some breakfast and then we went to Weta Workshop and we got a tour of all the swords and guns that were in some famous movies then later on we drove of to the Wellington Zoo to go look around the zoo and explore the different animals but my favorite animal was the Tiger and the sun bears.     

Day 4 Wellington Adventure
Next day we had a quick run not to far away from the Retreat
and then we went to Zealandia to look at the native birds and the pests that are threats to then that's why they put a big fence around Zealandia so pests don't get in and harm the native birds.




Day 5 Wellington Adventure
Next day we didn't go for a run this time because we had to go to the ferry port to go on an Interislander to Picton in the South Island to look at the history Edwin Fox, the last boat that Australian convicts to New Zealand and then we went to the Aquarium place next door and then we went to the playground for a little bit then we went back on an Interislander to go back to the North Island and then hop on the bus back to the Retreat.

Day 6 Wellington Adventure
Next day we didn't go for a run this time either this time so we went to have breakfast and packed our stuff to go back home because our Wellington Adventure had come to an end so we packed the bus to get ready to go home, found our seats and Don started up the bus and we left Silverstream Retreat.

Wellington Camp

I learnt that Spark Adobe takes a long time load. 

I really liked the Wellington Camp because it was fun.

I found it hard to find the right picture to right about.

I found it easy to make a slide show about Wellington.   

Next time I need to add more detail in my slides.

Animation, Pac Man

Ninja Work

Today I worked on the Google Doc Ninja Challenge.

Today I earned the white and green belt.

I am aiming to get the black belt.

I found it hard to do my work because my computer was playing up.

I found it easy to work through 2 of the belts because some of the questions were easy.
