Miss Rack has blonde hair like the sun that is always in a ponytail. She wears earing in all colors most of the time. She wears pants and sometimes wears skirt's and short's. Miss Rack is nice,funny cool smart,awesome and she is the best teacher ever. She wears a beautiful golden heart necklace. I think Miss Rack is a good teacher that cares about the children in her classes and all the other teachers. Miss Rack favorite colors are blue and pink and her favorite place to go on holiday is Australia-gold coast. Miss Rack is a teacher at summerland primary school in room one. Miss Rack takes care of the sandpit and the sport bins. When room one is working Miss Rack says" tick if you're on task dot if you're not" Miss Rack loves to play soccer but she can't because, she had to have an operation just under her knee. When we started term one she was on cruthes for maybe about three weeks but then she got off so that she would walkon her leg to make it better. Miss Rack is awesome I'm so glad she is my teacher.

soccer training

Yesterday a man who plays soccer for the U.K came to our school.He showed us some moves and told us some tips.We played some fun games one was called shark attack. His name was Sean.We tyred to do tricks and that was fun.We did exercises too.When we did a exercise he told us things like put you're hand on the ball or put you're nose on the ball. We played a game and we could not move when Sean was looking,it was like grandmas keys.
It was really cool I did NOT want to go back to class.

Soccer at school!!!

Yesterday at school Sean a soccer player was at our school he came from the U.K . He showed us  moves for soccer and We played games.It was awesome. 

My favourite activity was to roll the ball forward and flick it up with your foot and grab it.

 The thing I found funny was when we played a game when Sean looked at you can't move and when he looks away you run with the ball.If looks at you again and your moving ,back to the mouse house he says.

Half an hour was gone we had to go back to class I did not want to end . It fun anyway.

The one and only dad

My dad has brown eyes that twinkle when he blinks. He has short black hair that is sharp like thorns on a roses stem.

My dad is the best dad in the whole wide world. He wears a T-shirt and track pants and sometimes wears shorts when he’s mowing the lawns.

Whenever I can’t find him he is on his quest hunting on the farm getting meat from sheep and lamb and even sometimes he cooks dinner.


Sometimes he can be embarrassing because he kisses me in public at school but at least he loves me. He is nice and calm when he is on his own playing with my baby brother. He gets really angry when I don’t want to eat my vegetables. One thing thats common between me and him is that we get angry very quickly. Which is a sad thing.


When my mum says “have you had a shower yet?

My dad says “I will have it later on”. I think of my dad as an awesome and funny dad. He has a caring and soft heart. I love my dad. by Moonisah

My brother vue




My brother is 16 years old .He is as tall as Miss Rack. He has got a rash on his face be cause he touches plants that make him itchy. He has got black hair and has dark brown eyes like dark chocolate.



Vue is very sporty. He runs as fast as the fastest person on earth. sometimes he acts like an artist because he draws pictures from books  and they look fantastic. He is responsible and trustworthy.



My brother is a student at liston college. He is form 5. He plays soccer Liston and he is like a football star.


Vue is a funny,cool and  trustful  brother. Imagine having a brother like that. He doesn’t bother you at all.


Even though he is better than me at somethings. I still love him and he is alway there for me.


Sometimes he says absolutely no talking. because I always talk too much.


I’m so lucky to have a brother like that because he is my one and only Brother.

The slide of doom

Splash!!! I slid into the water It was the coldest water ever. 

As I walked up the hill for the 2nd time to the slide of darkness I realised I had mud rapped around my leg.

The water slide looked like it was 15 meters long. 

As the water got poured on me,I shouted all the way down and raced like a bullet,and yes I hit the freezing like ice water It was a pool of ice. 

When I got out I remembered we don’t bring our towels With us down to the stream so I had to stand there waiting for everyone to finish. “I hate this slide”

Survival day!Jordan

The 23rd of march, the day I,ve been waiting for! 3 senior classes went onto he field for the day. My favourite activity was making emergency protection from the rain. First we had to design it. We had 2 giant trees, 2 tarpaulins,  4 long round green sticks and lots of string.First we tied the bamboo sticks at the top, then we wrapped the tarpaulins around it. Then we went inside the construction to see if we could all fit, we did. So we went to the parent and told her that we were ready to get water chucked on us from a bucket. I crawled back into the hut and suddenly SPLASH!! The water poured through the top like a water fall!! We got soaked! We all quickly climbed of the wet grass. We were then told to take it apart. It took awhile because there were some tricky knots to untie. In the end we did it, but lost. The other team won, they stayed dry, (unbelievable!!).
Jordan.

    Super Scary Slide 

Whoosh the water went banging agents the rock’s.

I was walking on the rocks at Carey park  trying to get over the rushing river  to the bush slide “yes I made it.”I said to my self, “come this way please said an Adult.So my team and I followed the adult to one part of the bush slide and the adult asked “Who wants to go first?”


Ruby & Dariha,girls in my group wonted to go,so they climbed up the stairs to the top of the slide.

Two minutes later, ‘Whoosh!’ Dariha came blasting past and then SPLASH in to the freezing lake.

When she got out she said it was freezing coldI put my hand on her back,yes she was freezing.


Next another brave personin my group went down and made a huge splash!

After that about two other people went down,then I said I would go.

So up I went up he wooden stairs with my heavy bucket of freezing water.

up the top I saw the slide then I did’nt want do it any more but a lady talked me through it.

I did want to do it.I sat down on the slide shacking.The man up the top counted two three and then Whoosh.He pored the bucket of water behide me and then I screamed I was zooming down at top speed All of a sudden I was in the middle of the freezing lake shaking and swimming at the same time.


I got out I was as cold as an ice cube at the same time I was really proud of myself I thought “Im so glad I did that.” and then I said “can I do do it again?”

PIHA ASSEMBLY


Hi it's Moonisah here.  Today is our Piha POD assembly. What we are doing is performing a dance and showing our sketches . Our dance is 5678 we are doing this because these numbers are our class numbers. I am feeling nervous and excited because I have never done a dance in front of the whole school before. We also are showing our sketches. We were sketching shoes and we had to think about light and dark areas of the shoe to match the sketch.

cross country


Our school did cross country. I did  3 laps and I versed all the ten and 11 year old girls and if you came 1 2 or 3 you go in the inter schools. Firstly I went past the field up the hill past the community house past the school office through the car park down and do the whole thing three times. My goal was to not stop for 3 laps and I did achieved my goal. Secondly I achieved it by jogging and whenever I puffed out I jogged 3 steps breathed through my nose out through my mouth. We did cross country at our school my thoughts and feelings were embarrassed and worried because I didn't want to get any stitches and embarrassed because i didn't want to come last but i didn't.

Cross country

Our school did Cross Country. I did three laps against all the ten and elven year old girls up the hill and down past the community house and in the car park and back on the field 3 times then I came to the finish line and I came 1 and if you come the top 12 you go to inter schools and go against all the other schools in my age. We do Cross Country to do some fitness .My goal was to run the whole three laps without stopping. How I achieved by not sprinting at the start to save my energy for the finish. My thoughts and feelings were that I am going to finish this be cause I usually stop when I am so tired  and people go past me.

Cross Country Day

last Thursday was cross country day you can tell that absolutely everyone was excited, we are all ready to run the only annoying thing is that our race isn't until about... 11:15 we will be waiting a couple of hours. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS IS MIND NUMBING'"I screamed in my head "ALL THIS YELLING IS SO LOUD... oh its just me". Finally the time to race has come I was ready I was expected to do great I had been bracing myself the entire time for this moment (since 9:10!!) The race was going to start soon we got sent in to a little area were a teacher warmed us up "jog at the start Michael" I heard someone say I kept that in mind but that was probably the reason why this was the worst cross country I have ever had (When I am ahead I can stay ahead but I'm not very good at overtaking people) ... CLAP!! and the race began just like that boooom went all of the other racers
slooow was the speed I went big mistake I was about 27 I over took people till I was about 11
Th place and jogged the entire rest of the way by the time I was done I was in 9Th... I was on the last corner that leads to the field for the final run to the end I jogged round the first corner and I was tired I sped up a bit to the second corner I couldn't breath I ran 3/4 pace round the third corner I felt... nothing, absolutely nothing I sprinted SO HARD THAT... I COULDN'T BREATH, I COULDN'T SEE I COULDN'T HEAR I COULDN'T FEEL but I ran... HARD I over took one person and came ninth This was the worst cross country I have ever had BUT I MADE IT INTO INTER SCHOOL (I guess its not that bad I guess).

The frozen lake By lily

At Carey Park, our second activity was the rope swing. There I was, standing before icy water in my togs, on the board of doom. Rope in hand, ready to jump. "Come on you can do it, " I  chanted over and over in my head. When you see someone on the board, it cracks you up - but when you're up there, it's like standing at the edge of a cliff. "Here I goooo!!" Splash! As soon as I came up I swam to the side like a hungry mako and hauled myself up. "Oh man I missed it, go up and do it again Lily," shouted Miss Davies. But I didn't. I just sat there like I was being brainwashed, watching Braden have around about nine turns. After ten minutes I was back up there holding the rope. 

"Five, four, three, two, one... ahhhhhhh!" Uh oh I forgot to let go and BAM I hit  the board. "Owwww!" then plop into the water. I felt something slimy climbing my leg like a staircase "Ewwww, an eel" I screamed but only bubbles came out. I swam up frightened  but never told anyone about it until now. So the moment I made it to the side I got  up on the grass and just watched Braden for the 50th time.

First he went up and did Tarzan and next thing you know he was screaming like a hungry hyena. 
"Is that a gir?l" thought Miss Davies. She turns around and......
Braden flies out of the water like a shark was chasing him out 
"I thought that you were a girl Braden"exclaimed Miss Davies I was laughing I almost fell into the lake it was so funny even the bush slide people were laughing almost every one in my group were laughing so after we recoverd we moved on to the more enjoyable activities such as problem solving & orienteering they are much more enjoyable because we diddn't freeze to death!

EOTC-action day





On the 23 of march 2009 4 of the senior classes from summerland primary school went down to the field to have EOTC survival day there were six activities and six groups the activities were tent building, emergency shelter, emergency alarm, emergency stretcher, cooking and first aid my group (group 3) did first aid first that was about teaching us how to make slings and bandages and things like that. Tent building is making tents in groups of four. Emergency shelter is making a shelter that will protect you from the rain(buckets of water). Emergency alarm is bandaging your hurt crew, making a display that lasts 30 seconds only one of your crew can talk. Emergency stretcher is you are given some materials to make a stretcher on of the people carrying the stretcher is blinded. Cooking is you have tiny tin foil barbecue, sausages and damper (bread and water cooked to make bread). after they were done we got to eat them, yuuuuummmm! I hope you get to experience what I did that day!

EOTC big day adventure


For big day adventure on the 25th of March Room 8 and some other rooms went on a Big Day adventure. We got a list of tasks and had to finish them. We got split to groups each group has a parent helper to help and look after the group. Our first task was to catch a train to New Lynn, on the train we had a bunch of other tasks. At New Lynn we had to find a Summerland teacher to get our next list of tasks. We searched for ages! Then we found her Miss Cheeseman hiding behind a bunch of news papers! We asked for the next list of tasks we rushed to finish the task some were hard and we took quite long but we managed to finish them. Now we have to head back to the Henderson mall we ran to the bus station there was another group there so we waited with them. After a while the bus came we all got on we payed our fee. We waited to get to Henderson and get our next list of tasks. At Henderson mall we searched for the next teacher I wondered who the teacher was... Catch up on the latest update next week!

EOTC - Big Day Adventure


Hello there my name is michael and I am going to tell you about E.O.T.C.. E.O.T.C. stands for education outside the classroom, in my opinion it absolutely rocks. My favorite thing was the big day adventure mainly because we got to go ALL the way around West Auckland first of all we went to catch a train at 9.31 A.M... we missed it!! so we had to catch the 10.01 train AAAAHH oh well nobody else got it so were fine. we then we went to new lynn we had a list of questions which we answered on the train the last thing on the list was to find the teacher aaaaahhh!!! the teachers just had to be coming on the trip with s didn't they if having to be followed by an adult but teachers to! Oh well but the main annoying thing is they hide I mean come on. It took us an estimate of 12,64,235,562 years in all but we did eventually we got the sheet and we finished it before you could say wakatahimia I think that that was very very cool so we went and caught the first bus back to auckland, West field the first thing on the list was to have lunch we got 6 dollars each and still had spare we then went through the list like a rocket we went so fast that we had already finished while some people were still eating, the next place we went to was the Waitakere library and we got some rest time as we were allot faster than the teacher at getting to the library. But eventually she got here the teacher was Miss Cheeseman who as usual was fashionably late.

stay tuned for the next update
