YMS Twilight Market

On October the 29th Yaldhurst School had there first market. This market was called the 'twilight' market because it was held in the evening. I had a St John come down with me and I showed people in and out of the ambulance. I also handed out stickers and lollipops with my friend Paris who is also from St John. As you may have figured out by now I do St John cadets. Later in the evening we got this wheelchair thing out and I took people for rides with it. Overall I thing that it was a good evening and I would do it again anytime.

 

Prototec

For the past 6 weeks this term, Rimu class has been using the Prototec maths site to practice our basic facts and times tables and more!  Prototec records how you are going at maths and your scores are out of 40. Prototec is a maths site that teaches you maths and you can work at  your own level / stage so it is not too hard or to easy for you. You can either have a timed test or a sheet that is not timed. And you learn heaps also it really tests your brain. The link for the site is here.

My Easttle Writing for this term

The Easttle writing test is my favorite writing test of the term. This term I wrote about my trip to the Pelorus Sounds at the start of the year. I usually struggle with the time limit of 40 minutes but I think I did well.  I hope you like my writing.

Pelorus sounds fishing trip

In February my family and I went to the Pelorus Sounds. On the way there, because the water was so calm, I got to drive the family boat. It was fun having to dodge all of the logs that were in the water. But it was easy because all I had to do was follow Cam’s boat ( my uncle).  It is boat only access going to the bach. When we got to the bach well known as the ‘woolshed’ we unpacked and got ready to go fishing. The bach has 14 beds and 5 of which are either double or king sized beds. After we unpacked we went fishing and caught around 7 blue cod and had a good feed for the first night.

The next day I got my canoe out and had a few races with Richie and my cousin. I won because I have the only racing canoe. When I got back to shore I was greeted by my dad and then got my canoe flipped into the water while I was still in the canoe. The water wasn’t cold but it was fresh, really fresh. I went back to the shed and got the dinghy out and rowed the dinghy to the wharf and went fishing with Brodie and bailey (my cousin). We caught 2 fish. One was a spotty and the other was a blue cod, too small to keep.

Later on that day we went fishing again and went ‘drift fishing’ for gurnard. From what I can remember we caught 3. But it was fun. Then it was dark and we ‘smoked’ some blue cod and had another good feed.

In the morning my cousin got out his b.b gun and we shot a possum and shot a few birds and eagleray. Then it was time to pack up again and go home. It felt like a long time heading back, but we got back and that is the good thing. Overall it was a good weekend and I would be happy to do that again anytime!

100 Word Challenge

This is my 100 Work Challenge for this week. I hope you like it.

Airplanes are cool. They are fast and loud. They fly really high and can fly for long periods of time. But they are pretty hard to fly and it takes time to practice how to fly one. Sometimes they crash and burn like one time, the RV4 that I went in crashed and as the smoke cleared it revealed that the wing had collapsed and had been held on just by a few metal wires. But it still flys to this day and if you look it up it says that it is the most accident prone RV4 in New Zealand.
