How to build a Tent

Equipment
Pegs
Hammer( Mullet )
Poles
Fly
Base
Interior
Secure
45 angle
Eyelit

Instructions
1.Firstly Unpack the tent and check that all the necessary equipment is in the bag.ie.tent,fly,18 pegs,3 poles,inner tent, base and eyelit.

2. secondly you will need to take out the inner tent and the fly (the fly is wrapped up inside the tent) and then lay it out on the grass.

3.Then take out the 4 pegs that you are using and the poles that are unconnected . Next put any equipment you are not using aside by the bag

4. Grab four of the pegs from the bag. After that grab the hammer and hammer in the pegs into the eyelit, make sure the pegs are on a about a 45 degree angle(so they wont come out). When you are hammering insure that you pull the corners tightly and then hammer them in.
Then repeat this on every corner.

5. Connect the poles then see which two are longer . When you find the two long poles put it over the tent and clip it in on the eyelit. After the poles are over ,tie it to a little string on the apex of the tent.

6. You then put the fly(cover on the outside of the tent)on top of it and make sure you put the door in the right place. When that is finish you insert the last pole in to the front of the tent.

7.When you are finished inserting the pole you have to repeat the way you put it in before and remember to put it back the on a 45 degree angle.

8.Then your tent will be done and ready to sleep in!

Room 20's favourite food

In our class we have been learning about statistics. To see what we can do I have created a form to see what is every ones favourite colour. With the results from the test I have created a graph using an application on google docs.

My graph shows that most people in our class liked purple. I was surprised because i thought blue would be the most popular colour but only 20.7% of our class liked it!!

A day for champion

I was last in line when I heard one of my friends say “Bobbi its your turn.” I stepped up to the mark.With the ball in my hand. I could feel my legs tremble I threw the ball as far as I could . I was so glad when Miss T told me I had won second place.

Yes! it was Pt England schools Athletics day(Athletics is when you do a bunch of events like Discus, Softball,Sprints and a lot of other stuff). Every year we put on a display of events to see to see who are the elite Athletes. At our school we are divide in to four house groups called Matatua,Te arawa,Takitimu and the best group of all Tanui.

After my cunning win of second place of with the softball throw it was time for Shot put. Having never came a place in shot put before I was nervous. This time I was one of the first people up. I put the ball by my ear as tension was growing hearing people cheering me on. Finding out my throw was good enough for 2nd place.

It was time for the event I had been waiting for I stood feeling a slight breeze run through my body really nervous listening to Mr Burt(Our Principle) Saying on your marks. I stood shaking as some people wanted to keep making us start all over again. It was time to get serious Mr Burt said on your marks get set BANG!! I sprinted down the track with the wind blowing through my face. Winning all my heats making it to the finals.

It was time for the finals I could fell mixed emotions as the Y7(year7)11year old girls were up. I ran down the track as fast as I could. My running was good enough for 1st in my 75 and 100 meter race.

The thing I liked most about Athletics was having a lot of fun and winning five certificates(1st in 75and100 meters,2nd in softball,2nd in discus and 3rd in shot put).I hope that when we find out the final results Tainui will come out on top for 2010 athletics. I can not wait until inter-zones!!

Explain ready word colony

A couple of weeks ago we were given a task to explain a word that was related to our topic which is about bugs. We had to use the computer and show it in any digital form we liked. My animation about the word colony is finally done. Hope you enjoy my movie!!

Over 50 kg VS Year 7 girls

Today we were ready to set off for another exciting game against Viscount Intermediate. Unfortunately it was cancelled due to the weather earlier this week. But we did not care instead we versed our over 50 kg boys team. We got ready into our uniform nervous and thinking we were going to lose. Our coach's(Mrs Flavell and Bobbi) gave us some words of encouragement.


It was finally game time as we set up on the field our captain's trying to get organise as some people were mucking around. It was time to get serious the ball was let out as their forward pack came crushing down we all helped and someone rip the ball and passed to Etta scoring the first try of the game.

At the end of the game we came out with a cunning win 3 trys to 1. I think the best tacklers of the game were Racheal and Mauina because they took down a really big person(Richard ). But my favourite parts of Rugby is getting tackled and tackling.Having that game has boosted my confidence and I can't wait to have that match with Viscount!!

Life education

This term we went to the Life Education caravan. We learnt about how smoking can affect your body. Lyn (the lady that taught us in the caravan) also told us that cigarettes have 4000 chemicals and 200 can cause cancer. Some of the chemicals are white ant poison, nicotine, rocket fuel and floor cleaner.
But the most important thing we learnt was to do with making choices. Lyn showed us a video of what a girl did when she was given a smoke. Here is a movie made by,Rachael,Tamara and I.

My holiday

In the holidays I went to the beach with my cousins and aunties and uncles. It was so cool. We went to Kaho Bay.

First we went to the playground. It was so cool on the flying fox. My cousin and I really liked it. Then we went for a swim.

After that we played mud fights with this gooey sand in the sea. My cousin Sefa and I had to go against my cousins Athena and Nuu. My cousin got me in the face. It was yucky and gooey so we ran and tried to catch her.

Then my little cousins tried to jump in so we ran to the deep side so that they couldn't play. They told my Nana, so my Nana told us to come back.

Later on we all came out to get something to eat and drink. We ate sandwhiches and drank L&P.
