Rugby

Wow! What a good try at rugby Malaki! Do you know about my favourite sport? It is rugby.

Firstly rugby is a team sport played by 15 players. You wear different uniforms and different colours. We run and kick to score tries. You can only tackle below the shoulders. You have to stay behind your players and you cannot shoulder charge.

Secondly you need to wear rugby boots, mouth guards, head gear, shoulder pads and uniforms.

There is no high tackles and no fighting. You can only tackle below the shoulders. Play fair or you could get a yellow card and a red card.

Rugby is a team sport played by 15 players. Rugby is a great fun game. I want to be in the All Blacks one day.

Rugby.

Have you heard of a sport called Rugby? Well there are two experts down the road called Josh and Xariah. You should go down to see them. Now hurry up before they go to rugby training. This is how you play.

First you have to know all the positions, uniform and the rules or you may loose and your team might get angry with you. But I can tell you all the rules of the game.

These are the rules: 15 players are in the team, you get 5 points for a try, two points for a conversion, three points for a penalty kick and a drop goal, tackles must be below the shoulder and your lineout throws should be straight. Those are the rules to play the game.

Secondly you need to play in your uniform and your team needs to have the same uniform as you.

Thirdly, these are the skills that you need. You need to be good at running, passing and tackling. You need to know the names of your team mates and your coach. When you are playing, you need to have a water bottle and a good lunch before the game.

Finally, in rugby you have fun and play fair.

Remember there are two experts in rugby.

Go Karts

Oh hi! I was just watching this zoomy fast go kart flying past. What do you want to know about go karts? I will tell you.

Firstly, go karts are made of plastic, metal and rubber tyres. They have no starter motors so they use a button to start it.

To be a super go kart driver you need to eat healthy and be fit. Eat pasta and fruit. Drink water and powerade. There are lots of colourful flags. They are blue, yellow, black and white, red, black and orange and white.

Go karts are fast and cool. They are colourful and zoomy. I want to be a super driver!

Cheetahs

Zoom! “Meow”! Oops, sorry. I was just watching a documentary about cheetahs. Here is what I learnt.

Cheetah babies are called cubs. Cheetahs start off with grey fur as they get older their spots start to form.

A cheetah is the fastest land animal. Cheetahs can accelerate from 0 to 113km per hour. Once a cheetah has caught its prey it waits half an hour and then eats because it has to catch a breath.

Cheetahs eat deer, antelopes, wild pigs and rabbits. Cheetahs are carnivores. King cheetahs have a huge lump on their backs. Their lumps are grey.  Cheetah’s stomachs are white.

Cheetah means “spotted one”.

I like cheetahs because they are cute.

By Caitlin

Tyrannosaurous Rex

The Tyrannosaurous Rex lived 65 million years ago. When old teeth wore out, new ones grew. T-Rex was 40 feet long and 5.4 metres tall. You are probably about 4 feet tall, more or less. The Tyrannosaurous Rex comes from the greek word “Woreek”. T-Rex means lizard. The Tyrannosaurous Rex was one of the biggest dinosaurs.

I like the T-Rex because they are big.

By Bella

Amazing Seals.

“Orr Orr, Splish, Plop, Splash!”

Seals are mammals. (Mammals are animals that do not lay eggs…well some do, but that’s another story.) Do you know where seals live? What they eat? Or even what they look like?  Well, I’m going to tell you!!

Seals have a greyish coat of skin with black dots. Baby seals have a white fluffy coat. Seals have a thick layer of blubber (which means fat) underneath their dull, grey coat which keeps them warm in cold climates and freezing seas.

Seals eat fish, squid and shell fish. Seals eat along shore but are graceful hunters underwater. They sometimes eat penguins.

Seals are slow on land. Killer whales eat seals but those are not the only predators….Humans, that are called sealers hunt seals for their velvety coat.

Seals live around Antarctica, South America and the Southern Ocean also the Indian Ocean. Seals live in large groups called a Rookery.

I like seals because they are graceful and the babies are adorable.

By Alexis.

Diplodocus

Do you know all about huge and small dinosaurs? Well you’re lucky I’m here, because I’m an expert.

Diplodocus eat leaves and they weigh 12 tonnes. That’s a lot!! Guess what? The Diplodocus is 89 feet long which is 30metres.

Diplodocus lived at the end of the Jurassic period. It lived about 65 million years ago. It was the longest known dinosaur.

The Diplodocus was humungous. They have a long (very long) tail. The Diplodocus had a long neck like a giraffe. Although the diplodocus had a big body, he has a small head.

The Crutaceaus age was 80 million years. The Jurassic lasted 35 million years.

I like the Diplodocus because they have big long necks.

By Manaia

Maori Culture.

Do you know a lot about the Maori culture?

Why don’t you come along on a wild adventure with me?

Did you know that the Maori culture is really rich in legends? Maori people have puppets, but they have sort of stick looking puppets. The Haka is a type of Maori war celebration dance.

Maori traditional food is oysters, crayfish, and other seafood. They have chips, but their ones are homemade.

Maori people celebrate the Maori New Year every year this is called Matariki.  Matariki is a group of stars, but they are also called the seven sisters.

I hope you learnt lots about the Maori culture.

By Moisha

Bigfoot

Have you heard about Bigfoot? I will tell you about bigfoot. He is hairy and scary however, people are still looking for him.

Bigfoot is taller than a big ape. People think he is a human dressed up as a bigfoot. Bigfoot is actually peaceful.

Bigfoot is found in the North Island and also in high mountains and wood areas.  He is anywhere from 6-10 feet tall.

Bigfoot is an omnivore. This means he eats both plant and animals. Research says bigfoot eats nuts, berries, fish and bees.

I want to see bigfoot.

By Malaki

Maori Culture and Dancing.

“Haeremai, Haeremai!” Oh sorry, I was just enjoying Kapa Haka. Well anyway, this is an explanation about traditional Maori culture and dancing.

Maori have different types of cultural dances there are several Maori dances. Kapa Haka, the Haka and many more.

Kapa Haka is done by many people to show their culture or to make friends. The older girls in Kapa Haka use pois, they are difficult to control.

In the olden days, Maori people use to eat lots of things like bird’s and berries. But now, Maori people still eat birds but they eat fish and eels too. They have hangis, this is when they dig a hole in the ground and they put hot rocks in the ground. Then they put the food in some foil.

After that, they leave it to cook for some hours.

I like Maori dancing and the Maori culture because Maori is my culture.

Monkeys, Monkeys, Monkeys!

Monkeys, Monkeys, Monkeys! Do you want to hear about monkeys? Well you’re in the right spot! Ok, here we go.

Monkeys are a type of mammal. Old monkeys have pads on their bottom, also older monkeys look after the young.

All monkeys peel bananas from the other end of the banana. Monkeys are very good at swinging from tree to tree with their tail, hands and sometimes feet.

Suprisingly some monkeys swim in the water! All monkeys have a cheek pouch so they can stuff as much food in as they want.

Squirrel monkeys are the most common monkeys in the world, also Snowy monkeys live in the snow. There are over 284 monkey species. Apes are not monkeys. Black howler monkeys eat flowers, coconuts, fruit buds and leafs.

I like monkeys because they are cheeky. Thank you for reading. Bye!

Minecraft.

Do you know what minecraft is and how to play? If you don’t, here you go!

Firstly minecraft is a game of adventure. The game is made of lots of blocks. When you make a spawn in a level you need to start hitting some trees of any kind. If you don’t know the names of the woods, here they are. Oak, Sprace, Birch and Jungle. Then you should start making a house it needs to be 4 or 3 blocks high. Also your house doesn’t need to be one level it could be higher with a little bit of hard work it could work. You should then start making a mine. But you need to be prepared, you never know what might be down there. You need a sword, 2 torches an a pit. Now you are ready to go.

Secondly, on P2 mode you can get mods. Mods are like upgrades. They are really cool. Here’s some mods..superman, grand theft auto, walking dead, ultimate bows and security things. In the super man mode you can fly and run very fast. To do this you need a suit to get a suit you need lots of things but that’s a secret so I am not going to tell you.  In the Grand Theft auto one you have coins and guns. You can buy guns with coins. These are all the coins…iron, diamond, gold and glow gold. You can also have parachutes. In the jail break mode you get to own your own shop and sell lots of stuff. There are zombies in the walking dead. Zombies are called “walker” it’s a cool name. In the ultimate bows there are really flash bows. I’m going to let that one be a surprise. In the security mode there are bombs and lazers.

In minecraft there are mean and nasty boss. These are the names..Wither, Herobrine, Doom and Enderdragon. In minecraft you need food like meet, vegetables and rotten flesh. Now you know about food, let’s talk about the villages.

Villages like to trade goods for lots of things. The nether is the most dangerous place in minecraft.

I think minecraft is a pretty hard core game!

By Luke

Awesome Cheetahs

Do you know how fast cheetahs can run? Well this explanation will tell you.

If you go on a safari to Africa, you will see cheetahs in the long dry grass either sun bathing or hunting.

Cheetahs don’t really eat people because they prefer wild meat. Cheetahs eat deer, springbox and other wild animals.

Cheetahs are the fastest because they have lots of muscles in their legs and body. A cheetah can run 70 miles per hour. Cheetahs can be the fastest but not for a long time.

I like cheetahs because they look very nice but mean. I like cheetahs because they are fun to visit at the zoo.

By Kennedy

Monkeys

Have you heard about monkeys. Well if you don’t know I could tell you what they are, what they eat, and what types there are and where they live.

Some monkeys live in South America, South Africa and Asia. The weather is hot and sunny. Sometimes it rains and sometimes it is stormy.

There are many different types of monkeys. Black Howler, Chimpanzee, The Gorilla, Baboons and a lot more monkeys.

Some monkeys love to eat coconuts. The Black Howler love love loves to eat leafs, fruit, buds and flowers.

Monkeys are cute, funny and smart. I love monkeys.

Go Karts

“Vroom! Eek!” That’s the sound of a go kart. Well today I am going to tell you everything about go karts.

Go karts can be very dangerous but it is simple to ride. People have to be healthy because the go karts need to be fast. If they are fat the go kart will go slow. Eat pasta and fruit to keep you healthy and drink water. No fizzy drink! The exercises to do when you are getting fit are push ups, skipping and running.  

Secondly go karts is the most popular racing car but real racing go karts can be faster. Some 5 year olds do go karting in the UK and US.

Thirdly, a child’s go kart can weigh a whole adult. Adult go karts can weigh as much as a hippo.

I like go karts because they are zooming fast.

By Kohki

Minecraft

Do you know about minecraft or what it is?

Mine craft is made out of blocks; you can go on adventures and kill mods. Boom!  Ooh a creeper is coming, run!

Ooh I forgot to tell you, creepers blow up! You can make sure that it is dead. You can ride a pig, you can craft a carrot on a stick.

Pigs like carrots, if you have 2 carrots you can breed animals!

Herobrine is the freakiest thing in minecraft. He has lava holes and spits gas. There are zombies and the endo dragon. The wither boss kills you in one hit!

To craft you need 2 diamonds, one stick and 8 cobblestones.

Minecraft is cool because it is fun to make stuff!

By Reni

Lego

Have you ever heard of lego? Lego is similar to minecraft. Lego is so crafty you can make anything. Well, I will tell you more.

Oh no! Boom! Crash! Bang! The lego city is being destroyed. Anyway, you can make a box of tnt, and also a go kart and lots of things! They produce more than 360 million pieces a year and there has been over 50 lego video games.

There are many types of lego characters.

The fighters are lord Gamadons and Kruncha. Gamadons plot is to escape the underworld. Kruncher is a general fighter who wears a cap that cannot be removed.

There are star wars, tie pilot, spinner and nrg zone characters.

I like lego because

Starwars.

Starwars is cool. Do you know what star wars is? Well I’m going to tell you about starwars.

Star wars is a movie. It was made in 100 different countries. Some of the characters are Luke Sky Walker and Darth Vader.

Starwars is set in lots of countries. Humans and other species are in the middle of a war against the evil empire. The people fight and conquer evil.

By Selwyn

Space.

Do you know that it takes a person 3000 years to walk to the sun? Did you know that Mercury is the closest planet to the sun? The sun gives the warmth that makes living. I am going to tell you all about space.

Firstly, you will read and you will learn more facts about gravity. There is no gravity in space. Astronauts wear special underwear that let the astronaut go to the toilet during a space walk. It’s a bit like a nappy.

Secondly if you want to know all about Saturn, Saturn is best known for its fabulous ring system. Saturns ring goes around just like an orbit.

There are 8 different kinds of planets called Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto used to be a planet but isn’t one anymore.

I liked learning about Space. By Raey

Lego

Do you know lego produces more than 360 million pieces a year? Lego is hard and plastic. You can make houses, and cars or anything you like!

Firstly Lego is the world’s biggest producer. Lots of people in the world play with it. 580 people have built houses and cars using Lego.

Secondly Lego means “play well” in Danish. It also means “put together”.

Thirdly, Lego produced at least 3655 different minifigures between 1975 and 2010.

I like Lego. Lego is cool.

By Tevita.

Do you know seals can be in danger of sharks and killer whales? They eat seals, so they have to be careful. When the seals hunt, they have to find fish or squid under deep water. They like floating in the water. They have lots of fun with the other seals. Do you know there is a seal that looks just like an elephant seal, but its nose looks like an elephants trunks.

Seals have whiskers like a cat. They have two eyes, they have one ear so they can hear but not two ears like humans. They have a big long nose to smell with and flippers to swim in the water. They have a long neck that is so straight and finally, they have no fur on their body.

Seals can sleep under water. They even float up to the surface without waking up. A female seal is called a cow. A seal has a clear membrane that covers its eyes underwater. A cow gives birth to one pup about once a year.

Seals live in Antarctica, South America, the Southern Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The place where they live is called a Rookery.

I like seals because they are nice to other seals.

By Malini

Star Wars

“Boom, Boom, Pow!” Oh, sorry. I was watching this awesome Star Wars movie. Do you know what Star Wars is? I’m going to tell you.

Star Wars is a series of movies that is directed by George Lucas. Star Wars is about a galactic civil war against the evil sith. Star Wars is very popular, companies are making lots of Star Wars stuff! Lego, Star Wars, Star Wars video games, even Star Wars chocolate moulds. Right now, I am Starwars – the forced unleashed 2.

Suprisingly, the order of the movies when they were made was 4,5,6,3,1,2 because the movie was originally just Starwars but the makers decided to continue it. Then they thought to make the story that happened before. Star Wars is so old that it first came out when my dad was 10!

The person that plays Han Solo also plays Indiana Jones from the movie Indiana Jones. Starwars was filmed in lots of different places, the planet Kashyyyk was actually filmed somewhere in China!

As well as there being humans in star wars, there are also lots of different species. Such as wookies, Nemodians, Kaminoians and Mustafarians.  I don’t think the makers thought about this one bit very much when Anikan married Pad me because they first met when Anikan was 9 and Pad me was 18!

Here are some of the main characters. Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Yoda and Han Solo. Some planets are: Kamino, Bespin, Alderman, Dagobah, Tatooine, Hoth, Canto Nemoidia, Coruscaunt and Endor. There is way more planets in the galaxy, but there is too much to explain.

In conclusion, I like star wars because it’s really awesome and fun to watch.

Parasaurolophus.

The Parasaurolophus was a plant eating dinosaur that lived 75 million years ago in North America.

It was 10 metres long and weighed 4 tonnes. Parasaurolophus used its crest to make a loud honking noise like a fog horn to tell his males from his females. Their name means “crested lizard”. Their favourite food is pine needles, leaves and twigs. Parasaurolophus had scaly skin, a long curved crest and a long pointy tail. It had hundreds of teeth to chew plants.

The Parasaurolophus was a hadrasaur. This means that they lived 75 million years ago. You pronounce their name like Para-saw-a-loph-us.

By Mikko

Big Foot.

Oh hi. I was just looking at a big foot movie. Do you know about big foot or even what it is?  I am going to tell you.

Bigfoot is an 8 foot tall ape like hairy monster. Bigfoot lives in the wild American forest. Bigfoot is peaceful.

Bigfoot is a wild man. Bigfoot might be a caveman or a person. Big foot might even be a prank on people. Bigfoot is cool but he scares me.

Bigfoot might have sharp teeth. Bigfoot is fast and has big feet. Bigfoot eats deer, he stalks people. Bigfoot might get shot or killed by a man. 

I have grown up liking Bigfoot.
