The Invention of Scissors!

Have you ever wondered who invented scissors?I f you didn’t know,this modern day tool was invented by the Ancient Egyptians. With only a single piece of piece of metal, this was still a great help for them.

In these trendy days, they are modified into a multitude of sizes. From hedge clippers to wire snipers, scissors are useful no matter what kind of shape and size.

What is Chewing Gum?

Have you ever wondered who created Chewing Gum?It was a man named Adam Smith.One day,he was in his rubber factory.He found a lump of chicle from the sap of a gum tree.Just for absolute fun,he decided to pop it into his mouth.He chewed and chewed like there was no tomorrow,but it all still stayed whole.

He then had an idea.He heated it up and added a mint flavor.He decided to call it “Chewing Gum.”He wanted to sell it.

In the year 1872,shopkeepers decline to sell it in their shops.So the Tutti Fruity company brought the gum and made it in a small factory.You can buy it in slot machines while your waiting at the railway stations!

Thermal Plesures!!!!

For my AWESOME Easter holiday we all went to Waiwera Thermal Pools! Did you know that it was also our family reunion so much fun.re lots of relatives all staying together.It was so fun and my heart was pumping with energy to go on every single slide and go in every single pool!

At the beginning of the day, my four aunties, my uncle, my cousins and I were on our way to another house at Waiwera.We went there to have breakfast that my cousin's mum made. My other cousins and one of their parents arrived from their cabins too.We stayed there for the rest of the morning and then got ready to walk to the pools.

When we got there, I was exhausted from all the walking!!I just could'nt wait to swim but we had to wait for about two hours until everyone arrived. It was sooo boring. When everyone got there, we had a really long prayer before we did our items.

I was really scared!! I couldn't wait until it was all over and done with,but guess what.....I had to do ANOTHER item!!!Both of my items were a tribute to my great grandfather."I am going to do well in the item! I am going to go good in the item!",I kept saying to myself!

As soon as our items were over,I was relieved that I didn't make any mistake while we were dancing!It was then time for my cousins,auntie and uncles dance.When all of the items were completed,I marveled at the glorious yummy food inside the pots.It was obviously time to eat!

I reached for my auntie's secret mushroom chowder and placed it on my plate.I also picked up some salad and sausages.As soon as I was finished,I either had to decide if I wanted to do some activities with my uncle Jack,or go to the pools and slides.I just couldn't decide! I picked the pools! Well, mostly all the kids did! Even though I felt sorry for my uncle, I got changed anyway.

I had to wait for my mum to get changed, but Gabriel, my cousin, said that she could keep an eye out on me.The first slide that we went on was the long, Grinch like coloured, two slided"Twister"! I stammered when it was our turn to go inside it! As soon as the security guard said we could slide down, I just closed my eyes and pretended like I was inside a calm hot pool,then,"AHH,get me out,get me out!!",I screamed while I was half way through the slide. When I got to the bottom,I wanted to go on it again!!!I never knew that it would be so much fun!So I did. I went on it about 4 more times.

Then I tried the dark,fast turning "Black Hole"!It was so dark and scary,that even my mum and dad didn't want to go in it!When I got to the bottom of that one,I didn't really want to go in it again.

In the afternoon, it was then time to unleash the fast, yellow, other two slided "Speed Slide"!!! It was another scary slide because it was as fast as a racing car going at full speed! Even though it was really deep at the bottom,I still wanted to go on it some more! I wanted to go on it because it was my dad,my auntie,my cousins and my two brother's favorite slide!

After all of the slides,I went in the movie pool. It was so hot. I went out because I couldn't really handle it that much!

It was time to go and get changed.I went with my mum and after we went into our meeting room.I literally filled my plate with easter eggs and cake as a snack.We all got an easter egg each and then we headed off to our homes.

I really had fun and I would really like to go there again!

Best Ways of How to Swim!

In order to be a successful swimmer, you may follow these instructions. Take a powerful kick off the wall and submerge into the water. When you are doing freestyle,a key tip is to take a scoop while you are rolling to breath. While you are rolling to breath,a breathing position is to lie your on your arm. You become very buoyant when you use proper coordinated movements in the water.

When you are doing backstroke, lie on your back in the water and then put your tummy up not too high, but also not too low too.Then you can float for as long as you want!! Always do steady kicks and try and glide on the water.

Swim,Swim,Swim!

"Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!"exclaimed Ms Squires."We're going to the pools!"she then shouted again and again."Woo-Hoo," I yelped with excitement. I ran to the door with not only my friends,but with a humongous grin on my face. We walked to the pools.
When I entered the pools, I could already imagine the feel of the buoyant steady strokes of mine through the deliciously warm water. I couldn't wait to get into the pool.I wanted to swim because I wanted to learn how to save myself or others from dangerous problems or situations if we were in the water.

As soon as I finished getting changed, I took a brisk walk to the showers. With difficulty I couldn't get out of the showers! The thermal water felt so sincere and hostile.I finally got out with a warm welcome to the edge of the pool from my two friends, Tyla and Porscha. I never thought that it would be cold when I had put my toes in the water while I was waiting to get in."OK.In you go!", said the reliever who was covering for Mr Somerville. My friend was actually before me. I saw her powerful kicks and coordinated movements. It was my turn.

I submerged under the water which made me feel like a mermaid.Suddenly,I emerged back up and started doing freestyle.Gasping for breath,a gulp of water slithered down my throat!At the end of my turn,I had a very confusing and challenging thing happen!.......................I couldn't get out of the pool!I couldn't believe that two people had to help me out.The same thing happened over and over again.

"Come on kids",the reliever said."Get out of the pool."
"Lets go to the changing rooms," I said to Porscha and Tyla."Ahhhh!!!"I yelped. Not only did I have absolutely NO grin on my face,but I had a face with teeth chattering.We got changed and headed back to our AWESOME school.

Bigger,Better,Stronger,Faster and WEIRDER!

Every term,we have an Immersion Assembly,but it isn't just any Immersion Assembly. It is a wacky assembly!From women dressed up as men,to our principle dressing up as Star Wars characters,mostly all of the teachers were wearing weird clothes and even things.

"Wooh!Look at Ms Burnes!",I said my friends Porscha and Tyla. While we were giggling,all we heard was gasping and breathing!None of the teachers had microphones. "Who is gasping into a microphone",I was thinking to myself. Out of nowhere,"Dark Vader" from Stars Wars appeared!"Who's the freak?I think I've seen him in Star Wars. "I said to Tyla.As soon as he or it started talked,I knew straight away that it was Mr Burt.I knew it was him because he was the only one who wasn't there in the hall.

"Give it up for Team 3!",Mr Burt said.A ginormous beaker of mixed chemical came and got tossed out of nowhere by Albert Einstein or was it Ms Burnes?!I suddenly heard the first few notes to Justin Bieber’s "Baby".Mrs Lavakula and the other three teachers changed to their own version about washing our hands to make us “Better”.Also instead of “Ludacris” rapping, it was the awesome Mrs Lavakula saying words in the song,but not with any typical melody.”Woohooo!!!Go Mrs Lavakula!”, I shouted out from the amazed looking audience.Suddenly,as soon as they were almost finished,they got out a spray bottle each.They all jumped of the stage and literally sprayed us with water.”Come Mrs Barks.Spray me!I’m hot!”,I shouted to my teacher from last year.As soon as it was all over I moaned and grumbled as the freaky teachers sat back on their seats.

It was time for the other 2 teams.I was so happy when every single Team did performed and talked about their facts that they learned about.I can’t wait what they have in store for us next Term!

Positive,Minus and Interesting!

A PMI stands for Positive,Minus and Interesting and this is mine to tell you about our progress in our movies for the I Am Making Movies 2 contest that were entering this year.My journey through movie making has been fun and some of it has even been very difficult,from kind of getting my costume inaccurate,to laughing during one my scenes when I was supposed to cry,it was all worth it!

One of my positives is the very talented actors.They have helped me learn what a real actors job is like!

Another positive is the scripts!I have written only third scene for one of the movies,but I have also learn’t how hard it is for a script writer in professionals job is.

The fun that we’ve had during the movie making helped me get to know lot’s of people very well,that’s why it’s one of my Positives.

The people that I got to know have been an inspiration because they are very talented people,from the editors to the actors,they have been a great help!

Then there’s the Minus!One of my Minus is the inacurrate costumes.Including me.

A very interesting thing is when we have to do thing over and over again but from differrent angles.
