Sleepover
When I climbed into my cosy sleeping bag. I thought WOW! is this all real? I must be dreaming.If I was,that would be a shame because of all the fun stuff we did with the teachers and Birkenhead Leisure Centre.
Any way I forgot about and was soon into the movie wondering if i would get to sleep fast enough.I enjoyed the movie,but but when it finished Mr Mahy had to turn the lights off.
I also liked the end music of the movie.We watched the Lorax. I had a good sleep and was dreaming of my netball game. In the morning I woke up from my sleepy sleep.And was ready for breakfast. For breakfast we had a choice of toast or rice bubbles,for start I had rice bubbles then after I had toast few! I was hungry!
I paid $45 for not a suky sleepover but an awesome sleepover!.It took so long to get my things packed up.But I still enjoyed it.After a packed up,I went to go do gynastics on the grass with my friends. When my mum came and picked me up I was eager to tell her what we did!

The sleepover
As I woke up on the morning of Saturday I was so proud of myself because I had a sleep from 10:30-5:00 and it was only my second night away from my mum.
When I looked onto my right I saw Mya just waking up from her sleep.Me and Mya stayed awake listening to the people snoring,when we saw (Ella who was on my left) roll onto my camping roll and sleeping bag.Me and Mya laughed even harder when that happened but we tried to hold it in however, we ended up spitting on each other.
When most people were awake and Mr Mahy was as well he put a movie on to entertain us until breakfast was ready.
It was a super duper cool movie called Rio.It was a super,super,super,super,super duper sleepover.

School Sleep Over
When I went to bed a lot of people fell asleep. Before that, we watched a movie - it was so long.
The people that stayed awake for the whole movie,they ended up being asleep by 11o'clock.
I ended up going to bed through out the movie.
I was really tired.
It was hard to get to sleep,because everyone was loud:people walking round the hall for a lot of the night.
I slept next to Dylan.

End.

Medusa by Caitlin
Once upon a time there was a beautiful maiden named Medusa. Medusa lived in the city of Athens in Greece. There were many pretty maidens in Athens, but Medusa was claimed to be the most lovely.
Each day she boasted about how beautiful she was and each day they became more and more outrageous.
Every day she awoke from her beauty sleep and went downstairs to get breakfast.
After she had eaten, she went back up to her room. She gazed in her mirror at her pretty face while brushing her glowing hair.
After her hair was silky smooth, she left her house and walked into town.
She walked into the blacksmith's and boasted about the colour of her eyes. Then she would walk to the food stalls where the town's people were selling fresh fruit. She would brag about how her skin glowed brighter than a polished ruby.
She would go all over town boasting about how she was more elegant than a swan or that her hair was shinier than the glittering green sea.
Then she would come home and her father would ask her to fetch water for his horses from the well.
She would walk up the grassy hill to the well. She would sit on the edge of the well gazing at her reflection in the water for hours on end. Often she would forget to get the water so her father's horses were thirsty.
By the time she had come back to the house, her father had cooked supper. She sat down at the table and started eating.
After supper, she sat by the toasty fire on a comfy chair and read her book. She read a few chapters and then went into the bathroom and had a relaxing candle bubble bath.
Once she had finished she went upstairs, got dressed in her night gown and blew out the candle. Then the cycle starts all over again.
One day she went to the temple of the goddess who looked over Athens. Many other maidens went too.
When she got there she looked at the paintings and said,
"I bet that the painter would have done better capturing my beauty".
Then she walked over to the fountain and said,
"I could sculpt better than that!" Then she walked around the temple looking at her face in the golden walls.
Just then, the face of the goddess appeared! She boomed,
"So you think that you are prettier than me!"
"Well, um, no not particularly", stumbled Medusa.
"Well, all your life you did not pay any attention to anything but your beauty. So, now I shall take that away from you!" screamed the goddess.
"No! no! Please don't"! begged Medusa.
"No you can not persuade me and now I shall turn you into a horrible monster!" Then in a click of a finger, she turned into a Gorgan! Everybody fled from the temple screaming.
Ferocious snakes bit at each other upon her head and her eyes flashed red.
"If anybody dares to look at you they will turn to stone and even if you look at your own ugliness you too shall turn to stone!"said the goddess.
"What are you going to do me?" squeaked Medusa in a frail voice.
"I shall banish you too the end of the universe!"
"Oh no don't you think that's a little harsh?" said Medusa with a little more confidence.
"Silence!" shouted the goddess.
In a blink of an eye Medusa disappeared never to be seen again!

Caitlin's Personification Piece
L.I. Use personification in my writing
I am a shell. I lay on the golden sand as it covers me all over as if it’s burying me alive. My body is as black as charcoal and I have stripes as white as ivory. The glittering green sea scoops me up in his big, wet hands and pulls me out deep into the darkest nooks and crannies of the ocean. The flaming sun burns me up until I’m pieces of ash.
As I fall down and down to the bottom of the sea fish fly past as if they're jets. Sea slugs suck at the rocks. Crabs nip at the slimy stones. Dolphins leap out of the water like racing cars going over a speed bump. Jellyfish bob up and down side to side like they have no brain. Sharks flash a toothy grin. Octopi wave their tentacles all over the place, getting stuck to everything they get to close to.
I hit the bottom of the world. I am a shell, but I am not a shell.

You are so tall the tallest I see.
The poppy reprimands the fallen ANZAC who fort for us to make the country free.
I thank you soldiers I thank you ANZAC.

As you whip my body.
My body starts moving faster than a train.
You make me very special.
You wear olive green with a nice pair of black shoes.
You look so wonderful I'm glad I'm part of your amazing country.
Lest we forget.

MineCraft
Yesterday I was playing MineCraft and I got some texture packs.
My best one is Bluebird.
I mostly play on HyperFrost and most of my friends do too.
It's factions. I created my own faction. I have 15 people in my faction.
All over the world can play with me.
In my faction we make houses and stuff for people and share stuff.
We are really rich. I have 20 stacks of diamonds and my faction is really strong.
My faction is a good help with enchanting it helps you get stuff. You need an enchant table.
My faction is called the Enchanted Eye.

WakeBoarding
I heard the motor start.
I heard the board crashing over the waves.
I saw rocks while boarding.
I felt the tow rope pulling me along.
I felt my board.
I wondered if I could stand up.
I wondered if I would fall off in a while.

My moment in time - Jump
When I got out of the White, cloudy car, I jumped out and ran inside.As I ran in side I got a pair of socks.I took my shoes off and ran into the foam pit my legs were shaking. I went on the swing and it was so awesome After a while my dad came and jumped on to the trampoline .We had only a little time to go on the trampoline.then our time was over.Other people had there turn.
My first 3 weeks
On the first day of school I felt very excited about my teacher. I loved Kiwisport, it was cricket and I like cricket. Mr K was our second teacher, he comes on Wednesdays.We looked at a microscopic
picture, it was a rabbit's tongue and it had hooks on it. I like the new twitter wall order and I like being at the back of the line with Levi. I like being with my favourite teacher Mrs McGhie.

Crocodiles
Crocodiles are extremely powerful and very dangerous.
Crocodiles are reptiles because they have scales that are sharp and they are cold blooded and dangerous.
Crocodiles lay eggs.
If it is cold there is more chance of getting a girl crocodile and if it is hot you're going to have more chance of getting a boy, but if the nest is both it's a 50:50 chance.
They have sharp teeth because they need to catch their prey. They don't have their own self to clean their teeth, they have rats/flies to clean their teeth.
They live in water to see when their prey is coming. They nearly always sleep under water.
Over all I think that crocodiles are very amazing creatures and extremely powerful and very fast animals.

SandSpit
When we arrived at Vivian Bay we loaded off all the gear then sat down on a mat for half an hour.
Then we went fishing for 3 or 4 hours.
We used 3 bags of bait.
On the way back we went fishing because we saw lots of birds.
My fish was 35 cm and Andrew's fish was 32.
We went out on 2 boats - Mackenzie, Andrew, Xavier, Krister and Drew. We went on our boat -
it was Mitchell, Niki, Logan and Bruce. It took us all day.
We had a fun day on the water.
Then we went biscuiting and knee boarding, it was fun.
We did so much more then went back to camp.

My First 3 Weeks
I've been at school for 3 years now. This year I have the same teacher that I had last year,and I the think that is good because I like the teacher that I have.For the first couple of weeks I haven't been doing very much, just your normal reading,writing and maths. I've also done a lot of Waitangi Day stuff. But so far I have had a good first three weeks!
My Holiday
On my holiday I went to Roturua. Then I swam in the pool. I played on the Luge. Then I ate some food. I saw some people too. Then I heard a brid.
My first 3 weeks
On the first day of school we met each other. The next day we did the Twitter wall and I wrote "It interesting how the rabbits tongue has hooks on it."We looked at a microscope picture and it was a rabbit's tongue it looked really weird,We also did art and it was sun glasses with a portrait. I was one of the first to finish.The next day we went and did Kia Kaha it was interesting because we looked at picture and said if it was bullying or not. It was quite exciting.We also did graphs in groups for maths. We finished that and it was the end of the day.

Crocodiles
Crocodiles
Crocodiles get hunted and there's not many left because they have been used for handbags.
If you were to hold their skin it would be yuck.
No one wants them hunted if you are, so please don't. Crocodiles have nests and it depends if the the nest is hot or cold for a boy or girl.
Crocodiles only hide in the water.
Crocodiles have to stay on the mud before they can go in the water.
Crocodiles hide under rocks so they don't get hunted
If Crocodiles see hunters they will try get to the closest bit of water so at lest they can't see them.
They grow 30 cm a year.
They have sharp teeth.
They are reptiles.
They are very scaly.
Overall Crocodiles are important for clothing and fabric because they live in farms because they are used for handbags.

My first three week
For the first three week I am looking forward to getting the most stars in my class because I want to be a team leader. That mean I am proving to my teacher Mrs Mc McGhie that I deserve stars because if I don't she will send me to the principal.it doesn't mean that I have to be good at school, I also have to be good at home because my parents will be angry at me for doing the wrong thing. I am aiming to get more stars then everyone! My mum and dad would be more surprised than everyone else if I got more stars. I would prove it to everyone else so that I can be a good boy to everyone in the whole world.
My first three weeks
My Class Art.
On the first day at school we started some art.It was about a portrait of us and we had these sun glasses where we drew two things that happened in our holiday.The most thing that was popular was going to the beach, but some of us went on holiday. What we where meant to do was trace our face a big piece of paper , then coloured our face in with the right coloured skin colour. Then go on and do our glasses draw the 2 things that where really amazing. Then colour in the out side of our glasses.Then cut out our face,portrait and glasses.Then we give it to the teacher and then the teacher will hang it up on the wire we have.

Welcome to Room 4 2015
Welcome to Room Four's blog for 2015. We've had a name change as last year this blog belonged to Room Eight.
We have just completed of first 3 days back at school and have been very busy indeed.
Everyone was very excited about the class 'Twitter' wall where we each get to write about our new learning and thinking using 140 characters or less. As well as giving us somewhere to share our thoughts with our classmates and families, our wall will help us to learn about cyber safety and cyber etiquette. You have to be at least 13 to have a real Twitter account, so this gives us a chance to practise these skills offline.
We have been busy completing writing tasks and art work, and have been learning the procedures and expectations in our new classroom. One thing that is quite different for all of us is Daily 5. Daily 5 is a way of organising our literacy programme so that we get to select and complete different tasks to help improve our literacy skills. So far we have begun to practise Read to Self and Read to Someone. Mrs McGhie said she was really impressed with how quickly we have learnt to do both of these.
We have just started creating and analysing graphs and data for Maths and will be learning lots about Statistics during the next few weeks.
We are really looking forward to sharing our learning journey with you, and we hope you will visit our blog regularly and leave comments for us about the work we are sharing with you.
