Emma the elephant saver

    Emma the elephant saver!!!!!!

Hello everyone, have you ever seen an elephant suck on a power

line?  Well a girl named Emma has.

On one cold and cloudy day Emma was sitting down on her couch listening to her ipod. Well when she was listening to her ipod her mum said “ Emma can you go to the shop get some bread and milk” So she got up pulled her shoes on and went walking.

When she was walking to the shop she saw a little baby elephant stuck on the powerlines. So she walked to the shops and got her the bread and milk.

When she was walking back she she an adult  underneath the powerline crying for it`s baby. So then she ran back home as fast as she could and told her mother that there is a baby elephant up on the powerline and the mother is crying for her.

So then she called the zoo and told them about the elephants. So the zoo keepers a said” We will get dear in a flash” “ Okay then but hurry up because rain is going to pour down. So then they came to our house and asked her if she can go with them to show them where the elephants were. So emma went on the van and showed them where there were.

So there called for a fire energy to get the baby elephant. So when the fire energy came they got the ladder and put it up and got the baby elephant down. So then there put the elephant down and pasted it in a really big box with his mother next to him.

So then the next day the zoo came back to her house and asked her if she wanted to be in the newspaper and she said”YES PLEASE!. So then they went to the zoo and took a picture of her and the elephants.

So when she came back home she saw herself on the newspaper.

My Easter Weekend

On Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday was our school holiday. My family had a Easter hunt on Sunday. We had to find we had to find eighty Easter eggs. All my brothers found 6, 7 ,8 all 2. Well I found ten.

Well we were hunting my mum said “ There is a special prize somewhere by the trees” While my brothers were looking for more eggs I was looking for the special prize. I lookes by the Grapefruit tree, by the orange and by the avocado tree.

So I sat down and had a think about all trees by the house. While I was thinking my brother said “ Mum look there is a peach” So I thought and said “ The peach tree” So I ran as fast as I could and I found a basket with a tea towel over it.

So I looked under the tea towel and screamed “ My I found it” My mum said “ What is it” I said “ IT A KITTEN”  So I pick her up and took her inside. My mum said “ Go on then give her a name” I said “ Girl because her dads name is man and her mum's name is mama so her name is girl.

So I carried of finding for the rest of the easter eggs. I looked behind the trees, behind the house and even inside. While I was looking for the eggs I looked down and saw a egg by the fence. It was the biggest egg I ever saw.

After the hunt my family got to eat a eggs We had heaps of eggs. But I had the most. Well we were eating our eggs my mum told us not to hold the kitten all else it will get sick.

While we were eating my big brother was eating he saw on egg  the fireplace. I looke by the fireplace and saw. So I stood up and went to grab.

I just grabbed it but then he push me over. But my mum told him to give it to me. So then he gave it to. But I said “ You can have it because you are the oldest. So then we ate all of our eggs. That the the bestest easter I ever had.           

Omaru Creek Testing V2

Testing Omaru Creek

I am going to find out the differences in colour, smell and turbidity of oamaru creek.

I am going to test this by comparing different water samples from different locations along the creek.

Resources and equipment:

Buckets, Jar and Paper.

Smell:

	Prediction	Observation
Seawater	It smells like Salt	It smelt like Salt
Tap water	It smells like nothing	It smells like nothing
Omaru Creek water by culvert	It smells like Old rubbish	But is really smells like Dead fish
Omaru Creek water by bridge	It smells really Disgusting	nice (but when you shake it and smell it as soon as it opens bad)
Side of the lake	It kinda smells fresh	But it smells like fish

My conclusion (what I found out): I found out that most of my predictions were very  close to my predictions.

Colour:

	Prediction	Observation
Sea water	It loke clearish	It really looks clear
Tap water	It looks clear	It looks clear
Omaru Creek water by culvert	oily leafy heaps rubbish	oily leafy heaps rubbish
Omaru Creek water by bridge	It looks cleanish	But is was kind of dirty
Side of the lake	Murky grey	Couldy

My conclusion (what I found out): That my predictions were not too far from the observation.

Turbidity:

	Prediction	Observation
Seawater	I thought it would be see through (kind of)	It was Totally see through
Tap water	I thought it would be see through	It was see through
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I thought it would not clear at all	It was not clear at all
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I thought it would be see through kind of	It was not clear

My conclusion (what I found out): I found out that the water always  moves along the stream so the oil can get to the bridge.

My Writing test

Here is my Writing test.  If this is boring check out my edit one.

It was just the same normal day in room 17. Kids going of to there Literacy classes. Doing their work and do reading with their teacher.

While we were doing our work something mystery happen. All the computers disappeared,  netbooks,even the teachers disappeared. We were so sad because there netbooks were gone and because the teachers were gone.

While Paige, Mao, Nikki, Ata and Me walked around the school there were hardly no teacher in their classes. So we walked into the senior block and we saw all the senior shouting “ YEAH NO TEACHERS” So all 5 of us had a clue.

We walked over to house to asked if they can come to be a reliever. But no adults were at their home. So were all shouted out “ DEAR GOD PLEASE MAY YOU HELP US FIND OUR TEACHERS, COMPUTERS AND NETBOOKS” But then all of a sudden something weird happen.

There was a rainbow that appeared. So all 5 of us ran back to school as fast as we could and saw the Teachers, Netbooks and Computers back.

What a day I said to my friends what a day. So we all kept doing our things. But then the next day our chairs disappeared. But I said “ Lets don`t do it save it for another person.

My First week of a year 6

On the first week as a year 6 my teacher is Miss Garden. A Lot of kids wanted to be in Mr S class. The first day was a cool day. But the best day was on Thursday because we walked around Omaru creek.

On Thursday morning my Literacy teacher Mr Marks took us for a walk to Omaru Creek. We started at Elstree road which was where the creek started.  I was waking throw a lot of bushes and I saw taniwha road where all the other kids were.

Mr Marks told us to keep on moving. So we all started to walk down throw the creek and we walked on to the Bridge. We saw a lot of things like tadpoles and a lot of planets.
