Every saturday I like to  go hitchhiking at Rangitoto with Kolio ,Neo, Ben, Alex, Patrick and Junior. First I always like to check the whether report, it said that it will be sunny with just a few clouds. That’s what I alway like to do befor I go so it can be safe. While I was checking the whether someone knocked at the door,it was Kolio and Neo they were ready. so I packed up my stuff and we left to go to Patrick’s house to pick him up as well as the others.

After we got everyone we headed off to Rangitoto in two little boats. When we were paddling we could see something running along the beach and then it disappeared. “Did anyone see that?”, said Neo. “There was a person running along the beach and then it just disappeared”,
“hey I saw it too”, said Ben and Patrick. Kolio, junior and I were too busy talking.

Once we got there we drag the two boats across the sand and put them under the tree. “Something feels wrong about this”, said Ben as he puts his gear on. While we were walking we kept on seeing shadows running through the bushes coming closer and closer and then we started to walk faster. ….panic and then we ran for it and stopped under a big tree. “Is everyone ok?”, said Kolio
“ya we're all ok”, said Ben. ‘‘Come on lets keep on walking’’, said Junior. ‘’ok now guys i’ll be in charge’’ said Kolio ‘’hey who said you're in charge Kolio you’re just little and if we die it’s all your fault’’ said Ben. “Hey don't argue or else that creepy thing is going to come after us again or you guys can go and argue somewhere else, where just gonna keep on walking’’, said Patrick ‘’ya come Junior come Neo lets just go. But we can’t just leave them there’’ Neo said. ‘‘hey did you see that thing out there it looked like it eat us those two they will just pull us back i’m  already creeped out about that thing watching us’’ I said and out of nowhere the beast swoop down and snatch kolio and swings to the tree that we were standing under as we watch helplessly at  kolio getting gobbled up by that augley horrifying best and then we panic again  and ran for our live going opposite ways. The next one on the monsters menu was ben he was heading towards the water shouting desperately for help he was almost near the boat but it was too late he got captured by the beast. The beast was described as half human half ape and half tyger because he had a face of a human stood like a human and had strip’s of tyger and fast like it too and could climb a tree like an ape big like a big foot. While I was running I found alex patrick and the neo but we couldn't find junior or ben so we walk around forest trying to find junior and ben but we couldn’t find them so we walked back to the beach to get back in the boat but once we got there we saw ben’s body just lying down in the sand with blood all over the place I ran up to him and check for a pulse but there was none so we dig up a hole for ben’s grave and gently kick ben into the hole and then we walk to the boat with our heads bowed down walking in a sad way but suddenly we heard a voice from the distant it was junior he was running disparity for help but it was too late junior was eat’n by the monster and neo patrick and I already peddle out to sea. Me and the other’s survive and we never went back again.

Once upon a time there lived a girl called Little Red Riding Hood. She was walking to her grandmother’s house to give her some cake. As she was walking she met a wolf, The wolf said, “’where are you going little girl?”’ Little Red Riding Hood said, “’I’m going to my grandmother’s house. She lives up in the hills and I have to walk up there to give her some cake that my mother made’” Then she walked away.
When she was walking, the wolf quickly took the shortcut to little red riding hood’s grandmother’s house. After he reached the house he quickly threw a bomb in the house and waited for little red riding hood to come. When little red riding hood reached the house the wolf was getting hungry and he remembered that little red riding hood had cake in her basket. So he went inside the house. When little red riding hood came in to the house she saw the wolf and then she said, “what are you doing here?” The wolf said that he wanted to stop by and see how her grandmother was doing. While he was talking he forgot about the bomb and then it exploded and then they all died.Luckliy, Little Red Riding Hood had super hearing and heard the bomb ticking. She quickly jumped out and lived happily ever after.

One of the thins that she told us was that Pluto was a dwarf planet. And that Pluto was the farthest from the sun and Venus was the closest to the sun and that Venus rotates around the sun the fastest in the solar system. After that when we finished we put the tables back to where they were.

Tennis

In the morning we went to the court to play tennis. When we got there we saw a man and his name was Marcel. Then we had to get a partner. My partner was Junior. I had to hit the ball with the racket and Junior had to throw the ball. I felt good because it was fun. One of the new things that he showed us was how to bounce a ball on your racket and flip it in the same time. It was a little bit hard to. The other thing he told us was that we had to bounce the ball on the ground seventy times but it was fun too. When we finished we went back to class.

We ran to the Pt England reserve. Then we ran onto this path that went past the farm. I ran past some people but I can't remember who. I could see Dominic, Samson and Unaloto. I saw Mr Jacobsen, Mrs Clarke and Ms Tito.

When I finished the race I could see people standing there talking and walking. I felt tired. I was happy to finish the race. It was really long.

The Road show

Last term our class went to the Science Road Show with some other classes. The Road Show was held at the Tamaki College hall. There were other classes that came from a different school to watch.

At the road show there were lots of machines that we saw at the road show. There was a man and a lady that told us about our eyes, ears, and nose. The lady was telling us about cold and hot. They told us how a re-fridgerator works. One of the machines that I went on was this box that had a switch that can turn it on or off and it can glow. After the road show it was 3:00pm and it was time to go home.
