Have any of you been to Mars? Because I'm going there! I'm so excited to be going of this earth, to a place where there is no violence and anger. There were 5 people named Alonzo, Nanny, Carlsen and Carla & Whaea Teagan - we all wanted to go to the hot beautiful Mars. We all were researching about Mars for 18 years... 18 years later: It came to the day that we all had to say our goodbyes to our family, that was a very sad moment. It was soooooooo emotional. When we got in the magic school bus we went up to space. We heard the people say,"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 , 4, 3, 2, 1 blast off !!".We were so bored we had to wait 300 days.That was so long but it was  worth it because no one had been on Mars before. When we got there  Alonzo was so hungry he  was going   to pass out from starvation. I called the space ambulance,  they took so long that we had to go and meet up with the Ambulance we had to go to the launch pad to see them.

Wow! I'm bursting with excitement, walking into this humungous rocket , waiting for the countdown to happen. "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, " ssssssshhhhhhhh, as the rocket blasted off my heart was beating as fast as flash so i was so nervous. 298 days later OMG there is only two more days until i finally get to Mars, and when i do i'll take pictures and i'll be famous on News. As I was sitting in my comfortable soft chair  i thought that i had to hop off and see how beautiful the view is, so i unbuckled myself and air swimmed to the little teeny tiny window and i just felt speechless, because when i saw earth it really gave me a memory of my family so for that for that whole day it made me think of them. "Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay! Yay!" as i excitedly yelled i was so energetic that i could not stop moving and i was so hyped because i could already see Mars from here, so i put on speed and i was getting closer and closer but then i c...

                                                Trip To Mars Me, my friends and my dad were in a rocket because we were going to MARS!!! The rocket was counting down, ( 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0,) Blast off! (woshhhh!) We were finally in space, and at the same time we were floating around the rocket inside. It took 300 days to get to mars. We finally landed on Mars, we were so excited, and my dad was even more excited than us! For lunch we had dried Oats, and it was really dry. For dinner we had Pizza  Floaty. It was so yummy and delicious. For dessert we had floaty cookie and cream ice cream. It was so delicious that I was so full. I was so tired that I had to go sleep straight away. When I got in my sleeping bag I was floating on gravity, and it was a dream come true. I was way too scared to go to sleep because I thought that while I was sleeping the g...

It is 1998, I heard the voice countdown “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0.” The rocket blasted into outer space. I’m sitting in the rocket staring out window, it’s been 299 days. “I can’t wait to step on Mars for the first time ever!” I say with excitement! While I was waiting I saw a gigantic meteorite zooming straight at me. I ran as fast as Flash, my heart was beating so fast. As I grabbed the wheel I turned it halfway. Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw a red planet I was in shock I put the rocket in boost speed. I boosted to the red planet. BANG, CRASH the rocket shook as I landed on the mysteries red planet. After a few minutes I realised I was on Mars. I didn’t know what to say, I was so excited to finally get out of the rocket and stretch.  I grabbed my flag and hopped out of the rocket, the only thing I could see was dry sand so I pushed my flag in it was so easy. After I put the flag into the ground I floated back into the rocket, I went to grab some s...

The most important thing I took was food, water and also family photos. On the rocket ship it counted 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 BLAST OFF!! I looked out of the window and the window was so small and suddenly I heard a rumble and it was my stomach I was so hungry so I just ate some dried strawberries it tasted very sweet and sour and I drank some water and sadly looked at my family photos and I even cried but safely we landed on Mars!

One day there lived a boy named Aarav,his dream was to be an astronaut. Then his dream came true. He wanted to be a astronaut because he wanted to be the first guy on mar's. When  he was inside the space ship  he got scared because he heard them counting  10 9 8 7 6 and all the way to zero. When the space ship was in the sky he started to feel EXITED because when we look on our TV we see the robot has been o mar's and the robot are like car strange hand wheel legs . When he was going to do toilet he started flying it was a weird feeling. After three day I was eating astronaut food like orange ade, date fruit cake, beef sandwich, strawberry cubes, cheese sandwich, orange drink, peas, and cocoa. After three hundred day's we were there and it was cool The End

I was taken somewhere. It was raining outside, they threw me to my new cage with different animals. I really felt sorry for the sad animals that miss their family so much. After a minute they took us to a warmer place where it was not RAINING! I saw my mum and my dad and I hugged them.                                    THE END                 ...

Dear Aarav the Elephant Sorry for not meeting you the craziest thing happened. I'll tell you the story,I was in the grassland looking for a prey to hunt. when I saw an elephant I felt human presence. So after that I went to hunt the humans. Well when I was heading for the human direction I felt so sleepy. So then I heard that they call it sleeping gas dart. After I woke up I was caught with you,then you said that we had to make an secret escape plan. so elephant and I said to the other animal if they wanted to escape most of them said "yes." So while we were planning we saw an unexpected guest Carlsen the gorilla. Aarav was so shocked he said "my friend! " Carlsen was crying so then he knew about the escape plan we tried to make it a secret but he never told. He was the type who always tells on everybody but he wanted his family the most that is why he stuck to the plan. Our plan was to dig an underground tunnel from there cage to my cage so at night we d...

Friday 30th June On a hot sunny day yesterday our class was getting our stall ready for Market Day. First Gaby, Maranique, Caitlin, Tynan and I first went to the stall because we had stuff in our hands to take to our table, and also we had to watch over it until the bell rang so we could start our Market Day. Once the bell rang our class was allowed to come to our stall to sell our slime, workout cards and to do our facepainting. Our table was crowded because everyone wanted to buy our slime, because our slime is so precious. When it was my turn to have a break i had a look around and i brought hot chips and panikekes, when i ate it all up i was like " Mmmmm" and it was delicious!!! When Madison asked if i wanted a face paint for free, I was so surprised to hear that B4 is only allowed to get a face paint for free. So then i asked Madison if she could draw a girl Joker. Once she finished my face paint I said to her " You're a good face painter" ...

On a sunny Thursday afternoon B4 and I had market day, The first thing we did was set up our tables underneath the green shelter, next we put ours jars of slime fitness cards and face paint onto the tables. After that we stuck up signs all around our tables, and finally our stall opened.  Our first customer was Malayah, she bought bubbly blue slime and three funky fitness cards for 8 dollars. I was the stall keeper. My job was to collect people's money, give them change, and tell them to have a great day. When our slime was sold out, I got to go and look at all of the busy bee's stalls, the smells of all the food made me a hungry jack, so I just bought  naughty nachos. yummy.  Even though I was the shopkeeper I still wanted a face paint, the face paint I wanted was a pokemon ball, with lightning coming out of it. B4 was allowed  to get a face paint for free so I ran to Tairis, when I reached him I was huffing and puffing. I asked him to paint my face, he said "...

My New Habitat! Dear Diary, ERRMAGHEERD! You will never ever believe what happened yesterday! I was just doing my thing, eating the leaves off the tree... When suddenly I heard footsteps approaching me. The next thing I knew, a man ran up to me with a sharp pokey thingy and poked me in the ribs. Suddenly I collapsed onto the dirt and bark! When I woke up I rubbed my eyes it was all blurred, I couldn't see anything, so I shook my head. I thought I was dreaming, I was so squashed I was in a box. My legs were nearly over my head. I got sore and tired of getting squashed so I went to sleep. A few minutes later (It felt like 2 minutes) I woke up. I was in a bright light. The first thing I did was look up, I had no words to say... There was everything I loved trees, and more trees and water I had no idea where I was but I loved it. But I also really missed my parents; sometimes I wonder if I would ever see them again. All of a sudden I heard a laugh I sounded like my Mum. ...

Dear Diary, WOW! You won't believe what happened to me. I was just having a little nap and I suddenly heard a snap, I felt like something was watching me, so I stood up and I was ready to run. BANG!!! I got shot at. I fell asleep and when I woke up, I suddenly noticed that I was in this hard grey box (cage), but I couldn't get out. I tried to kick, but it didn't work, I tried to push and it didn't work again. I had nothing to eat or drink, had no friends, I was stuck there forever. Suddenly I saw these two legged creatures (humans), they looked very weird. They were talking about putting me in this zoo, I was afraid of them, so I went back to sleep. When I woke up again, I was being carried in the box, the box opened, the light blinded me and I couldn't see anything, I could smell food so I crawled towards it, it was trees of berries. I can see again, I saw other animals like me. I asked one of them where was I, "you're in this wonderful place called...

Dear Diary, There was an Ape called Caesar and he was strong. I was protecting my family until suddenly something went wrong. My family was gone, I went to go and find them. I just got caught by the HUMANS! Suddenly I heard other apes calling. It sounded very CLOSE. We all escaped. We went in separate directions and we got home, we all had a story to tell. We all said "you won't believe what just happened today!" We all shouted at the same time. A day after all of that drama we all got caught again. We all got taken to a new habitat, I tried to escape but they blew my guts out. I passed out. When I woke up it was stitched up and I got up and I saw these old apes who knew my name. They said 'Caesar' in a silent language. I couldn't recognize them, until they said " SON" I said "Dad." and he said " I haven't seen you in 18 years" Because 18  years ago my parents were taken, when I was little.

Dear Diary I am a Sumatran Tiger and I love to play. But, WOW! you will never ever believe what happened yesterday! It was terrifying! It all started like this... I was hunting for Aarav the elephant. Then some male named Anthony came with a tranquilizer. I woke up in a cage with nothing. I tried to escape then  BOOOOOOOOMMMmmm.. !!!!  "AHHHHHH   Help me! they are killing my family." I saw Aarav the Elephant, I was starving, but I have to make friends. Aarav is going to be my friend. I poked a hole in my box.   I saw sign that had Auckland Zoo written. I saw  Aarav the elephant he was playing tag with AJ the panther.  I said " Do you want to be friends ". He said "I will think about it ". The next day he said " YESSSSS". Then AJ the panther woke up and said " leave him alone " . Aarav said we are friend then AJ said "ohhh". Aarav was laughing in the side of his cage same with AJ  then Aarav said stop l...

DEAR DIARY WOW! You won't believe this, guys. Yesterday My parents were gone somewhere, and I was just playing with no one, when suddenly I heard a big BANG , it was very loud. When it stopped I couldn't hear anything at all, except a ringing sound in my ears.   A man had a shot gun and it had a dart in it, he shot the dart at my neck and it felt like purple juice that made me dizzy and sleepy... I fell to the ground.  Then I woke up in a new place. I felt sad and lonely and then the zoo keeper came and took me to another habitat, there I saw my mum and dad and i was so glad  i saw  my family  and we went to    a lot   of things  today and we done every thing the hole day .

Last term B4 was studying 'Healthy Lifestyles'. We learned about eating and making healthy food and then we studied different ways to keep our body healthy through exercise. We like to do workouts each morning or a 'Just Dance' video and part of our project was to make a workout card. We researched some workout circuits for a specific muscle and then took photos of us demonstrating the moves with a buddy. Here are a few examples we made. We hope you will try them! Don't forget to stretch!

STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP dad was stomping down the hallway. He was shocked to see my room like it was. "Clean your room Orlando" Dad demanded. My room was so messy you couldn't even see the BED!  It took me like half a day to put away my clothes and move all of the rubbish. When we were finished my cousin gave me a fidget spinner, $20 and a pie.

On the amazing Tuesday at 11:00am  all the classes and units in Finlayson Park School came together to beat a WORLD RECORD for whistling out of a Raisin Box under the Main Court.  First Mrs Maihi welcomed everyone, then we sang Manurewa E to welcome the guests. Then Mrs Maihi introduced the Kids Can Girl named Sophie, she was talking about what she does for her company. After her wonderful speech Mrs Maihi told the Sunmaid  Raisin helpers to hand out a box to each class so we could get started with our whistling. During their speech they called up Matua Haare to the front to teach us some tricks for how to blow the raisin box.  We blew from it at the same time to break the WORLD RECORD but when Matua Haare yelled "STOP" nobody listed so Mrs Maihi came out with her big GROWLY voice and growled "STOP" and everyone quickly stopped and put their Raisin Box on the ground. How often when we all tried it, it sounded like a mouse getting stomped on from a Elephant, so Mrs...

So the day before we did the blowing challenge our principle told us we will be getting raisins. That was the day we got raisins but we weren't gonna eat them or play with the box yet. Then the next day in the afternoon we went to go on the main court and we had to meet the kids can people like one girl named Sophie. We were told that we had to break the WORLD RECORD for the LOUDEST whistle blowing with the raisins boxes. The country that we needed to beat was Great Britain and we did just carry on reading. The we were told that we will be on camera and not ordinary camera TV OMG it was so cool. Then we were getting filmed while we were blowing with the boxes then we got to throw our raisins in the air and whenever we get one throw it in the air it was so fun. Plus we got to know that we broke the WORLD RECORD OMG its so cool we beat Great Britain.

Hi my name is Chase and i am going to tell you what Prodigy. The web site is Prodigy math gaming. Prodigy The game is about math and fractions. You can create you'r character and items to it to make him look awesome. Here is a question 10 divided by 2= For the password you need to write you'r first name and write one letter one you'r last name. you have to buy the powers to attack you'r opponent.  You can join you'r friend session and play with him.

[ CONS]  i don't have any bad comments My rating is 😍😍😍   (that means good) By [Chase_Brunt]

My plate Food guide Hi my name is Madison I am 8 years old. I am going to tell you about my plate food guide if you don’t k now what it ­­­­­­means just relax and enjoy. My plate food­­­­­­­ guide means the amount of different types of food you should be eating,  like Protein and grains. Did you know  My  Plate can be used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You may wonder "do I really have to eat vegetables with breakfast and dinner?" Well breakfast, lunch, and dinner is important because if you don’t have food you might  die of hunger.                                                            

Hi, my name is Jalierus. In B4 we are learning about Healthy Lifestyles and I am going to tell you about My Plate Food Guide.  My plate food guide is filled with vegetables, fruits, grains, protein, and a side order of dairy. And did you know that the grains section is bigger than the protein section so that means that you need to eat more grains than protein, and you need to eat vegetables more than fruits. Why? because there is sweet sugar in it but it is a natural kind of sugar and vegetables have vitamins and minerals. What is a grain again? Grains can be in: Bread, cereal, rice, tortillas, and pasta. You know your plate can be used for breakfast, a snack, lunch, and dinner. My Plate Food Guide is very healthy for all people.

Maranique and I made some healthy 5 ingredient waffles. If you want to learn to make some healthy 5 ingredient waffles click on this video. We made waffles because B4 was learning how to stay healthy by making healthier food choices. So we thought we could change an unhealthy waffle recipe to a healthy waffle recipe.

Last week B4 was practicing their math skills online in a new game called Prodigy. Have you ever played Prodigy before? Well you should play it because it can help you with your decimals and you might get smarter, you never know. In this game you are trying to move up levels, by doing that you have to answer the decimal questions right, but if you get your answer correct then you can blast your enemy with your special move you picked, or if you get it wrong you will lose some of your life. The point of this game is to try to move up levels and by doing that you need to heal your person most of the time and answering your question with a right answer and that will help you defeat your enemy and that will take your enemy's life. This game is so good for your learning and especially for your math.I like this game so much because it's like playing a real cool game and practicing your math at the same time so that is so cool. Also make sure you have written down your passwor...

Then she gave us our name tags to put on our uniform.  Then Whaea Teagan gave a map to each group, of the whole Polyfest venue. Five minutes later the three parent helpers turned up, then we grabbed our bags and jumped on the bus with B9. We drove in the bus with B9 for 30 minutes (It felt like 30 minutes.)

"Ok class put your lunch away so you can go outside" said my beautiful teacher Whaea Teagan. When Jordan came I said in my head "Is that Jordan Taufua from the Crusaders? I can't believe it, he is so handsome... and I saw him on the 4:30 show! He was teaching these two boys how to tackle, he showed them the hard parts and he showed them where there front leg goes." After that Whaea Teagan showed Jordan to Matua Dallas's class. Later that day we went on the field because we wanted to play touch. Whaea Teagan told me to go get two rugby balls because we had no balls. Finally after lunch time we got 2 minutes to ask him questions. Someone asked him "what's your favourite food?" he replied "well I really love salmon" and I also learned that after his games he loves McDonald's and his most likely food is Taro. After that we went outside with all the classes to play stuck in the mud, what ever he says that we have or not, the pe...

One of the questions we asked him was what is his favourite food and he said " It is salmon  and broccoli but when i finish playing i eat Mc Donald's, then we all were like" aaaaahhh yyyyyyeeeehhhhh" And so we all said "Goodbye and good luck for your next game" But the last thing we did was that...

Hello have you played Snowball Math before? The reason why we played this game was to practise our box method and multiplication strategies. This is how you play:  You get a piece of paper  and write any kind of math question on it but we wrote two-digit times tables (for example  12 x 54 ) then you scrunch it up into a round paper ball.  Next everyone will throw their scrunched paper ball in the air like a  snowball or a beautiful Bell bird flying in the sky but just faster. Anyway, when it lands on the ground you pick one up but if no paper ball lands next to you then you try and find one or ask someone nicely if they can pass you a spare one. The next thing you do is open your snowball and solve the math question in your book. And that's how you play math snow ball. When we  played it my friend and I were really excited and mad because we didn't get to finish the last one.  by Malayah and Madison

Hi folks, today I am going to tell you how we did our spelling last week t o practice some of our spelling words. First we studied our spelling and vocabulary words so we could be ready to spell them.  Then we got organised into two lines down the sides of the room - we did girls vs boys. Our teacher called out a word for us to spell and we had to get it right in order to shoot the paper ball into the basket to get points. When we threw the ball we had to choose our starting line that says 5 points, 10 points and 100 points. If we got the paper ball in the basket we would that number of points for our team.  That was so frustrating because it was so hard to spell the words, and trying to throw the paper ball into the basket. by Maranique

Last Thursday we went to  Polyfest to discover the wonderful cultures and to see the different cultures stories. It was a fabulous day because we went everywhere and everyone in me and my mums group said that my mum was the best beacaues  she went to fun places and she let us play for so long.  Then we had to leave to another place which was the Divesity Stage. But before we got there I GOT LOST! because it was so crowded and I couldn't see my group! But I did see Caitlin running then I found  Whaea  Teagan and she called my mum. Then we went to meet her by the block of toilets next to where my mum let us play. And I found her! After that we went inside a house that tells us about fire safety . My group came in with me and after a while the man put something on and it was like a smoke  detector and we had to get low and get out and after we did that we finally went to the Diversity stage.
