bio poem

Gary
Child of Jakob and Kobie.
Who loves playing impressive soccer, friends at my place and my cat.
Who hates wrinkly old people, moldy mushrooms and juicy tomatoes.
Who wants to go to Disney world in U.S.A.
Who wishes he could've met great musician Michael Jackson.
Who is scared of bloody sharks, hairy spiders and scaly Poisoness snakes.
Who dreams of winning the lotto.
Who is determined to have a happy, healthy life.
Who values a great life, a loving mum and dad.
Who is proud of all my certificates.
Who lives in Morrinsvile New Zealand.
Joubert

Science fair reflection

During my science fair I learnt how to make a fair test using variables and 3 tests. My most challenging aspect of the science fair was testing because I had to measure 12 directions every hour from 8:30-4:30. I am most proud of my presentation because I couldn't  print at home. Next time I would do the tests on different days.

Quick Write

Between the sound of cheering I hear the guy behind me yelling over the sound of the crowd. I feel a slight grin growing but the pain between my legs hurts to much to smile. I see the crowd and then the sky hoping victory is mine. I think I’ll come second until I hear “winner”.

I wonder with suspense if I'll get gold?

My Hei Mihi

Memoir poem

The Forest usual enough. There were massive trees, wet bushes, wooden steps, green leaves, rough gravel, slimy mud, a flowing creek.


Mum, Dad and I did what families do. We laughed, climbed, puffed, spied, rested, persevered, and enjoyed the view.
We did nothing important.   


The beach was usual enough, it had massive slippery boulders, golden burning sand, shiny blue glimmering water, steep grassy hills, wet bushes, and a deserted mysterious shack.


My cousins, my friends and I did what boys do best. We caught crabs, we rolled down hills, stood on hot sand, climbed through bushes, swam in water slipped down boulders.
Doing nothing important.
