Akshays finger puppet show

I made 5 finger puppets for my school home learning project. First one was Monty the monkey who likes eating bananas. The second one was Gill the tall Giraffe, then it was Ele the elephant, next came Burphy the bird and finally Lionel the fierce lion!
They are best friends who live in the same jungle.
I did a finger puppet show of 5 characters, one for each finger!
It was fun making these puppets which I made from scratch. I got a kit to make the puppets. I liked making the puppets. The best part was glueing the eyes. The puppets looked cool so I brought them. I love my puppets. My favourite puppet is Monty because he is the cleanest person in the show. He all so wakes up early in the morning too. I made a video of the puppet show too.


I am Akshay of Room 22 at Summerland Primary and here some shots of my puppet show.

Zack And Cody in Summerland

Yesterday I just met Zack and Cody Martin when I was walking out of school I just saw Zack and Cody in front of the Summerland sign. I nearly exploded into tiny pieces because suite life on deck is my favorite show. I can’t believe why they came here they wanted to check our school out and wanted to know questions? about our school. I was so excited like how miss Cheeseman would be if she saw johnny deep I asked for their autograph they gave me both of their autographs. I,m the only one who saw them because my mum and I were talking to miss Cheeseman .I freaked when I saw them they went back to the limo and my mum and I went back to the car.

Corbans Art Centre

On a cloudy sunny day,  room 1 and room 22 went to Corbans Art Centre. We loudly marched there like big elephants. Finally we were there and the manager came and showed us where the 3 rooms we are allowed to go in and the managers name was Shelly. In room 2 there was two big sheets of paper that we can write what we liked about the art. My favourite was the koros that the year 8's did at Sunderland school, I liked it because it was a circle and it had a dark colour with black. After that we went to see some paintings of birds.  My favourite  paintings of the birds was the swan in the office and the chickens at the restaurant eating noodles. We went to see the photos that people took for a competition.  Soon we  had to walk back to school and on the way back Chantelle, Neha,  Cameron and I played I-Spy and it was really hard to think of what word they are thinking of. When we were at school we were bursting for food and water so we had lunch and went to go and play.

The wet cross country day

Cross country On your marks get set go!!!!!! Round the corner somebody slips slip their goes  another,  I said "I bet Im not going to slip over I thought ? " Oops I slip over in the softball cage.
I run up the hill I feel my asthma, I see the finish line here I come. I came 5th place my new record!
It's pouring with rain and the field turned brown with mud. The rain drops got me in my eye the water felt refreshing because I was sweaty and the water cooled me down.
An anonymous Parent said "I've never been so wet in my life."
Kirsten said "I have never been to cross country in the rain I hope in the next cross country it won't rain that hard."
Chantelle said "I hated it because wind and rain was everywhere in my face.''

The BIG day!

One lovely morning Dylan went to the beach to test his surfing skills. "The air smelt like salt and the water feels like heaven above" he said in a soft voice. Then he ran in the water to catch some waves then he jumped on his board he looked back he saw the biggest wave he's seen then the wave came closer and closer until...the wave came. Dylan said "it's time for my best trick" and he did his trick and as the water splashed in his face the sun laughed and did tricks in the sky everyone was happy even the crabs. Even though they're a bit snappy sometimes, then Dylan jumped off his bored and laughed it was AMAZING it felt as if the world stopped and his heart was the only sound he could hear then the world started again. In 2 or 3 hours it would be dusk soon, so I should be going soon. As he walked home he saw a big poster it was bigger than a giant, the poster said SURF COMPETITION MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY winner get's MILLIONS of dollars and the girl of your dreams. "Wow thought Dylan." I think I should sign up Dylan" announced Dylan, so he did after 20 minutes of walking he was home he opened the door. Dylan thought about the competition he wondered who is the judge. On Monday Dylan got up at 4.30 so he could warm up he sighed he was thinking of Lilly the girl of his dreams. He looked at his clock 5.00 "the competition started in 2 hours" he said nervously. He left the house and started walking with his heavy bored then he got to the beach he saw all the other guys warming up, he got in the water and waited until the competition started. Then it started it was the BIG day. First up Dylan Tammy. It was time he paddled and paddled and paddled the wave came he was worried, but no time for that it was time for the big trick then he tried to do it. Lilly was watching. Then Dylan got very unsteady and he fell off and hit his head on a rock. "Ow, wow that must of hurt". "Hey every one back in from the water", when Dylan came back Lilly bolted up to him and asked him if he was all right. When the competition was over they announced the winner is .......... Timmy Egghead Dylan was anxious he wanted to win, and win the girl of his dreams Lilly. Lilly jogged  up to Dylan" hey are you ok " wondered Lilly "no said Dylan sadly "I wanted to get the girl of my dreams "he said "and who was that" she said weirdly, "you he said "hey don't worry I like you just the way you are ". In the end Dylan got the girl of his dreams and Lilly got the guy of her dreams.

Golf Skill's

Room 22 and Room 8 went out onto the field and... We started to do golf! Our golf teacher was called Vicki she is such an amazing golf teacher. First she taught us some safety skill's, it was because she bought a real golf stick. So she didn't want us to get hit or any thing like that. We had these flag's that she said we had to wave to her car and to the Rugby post. Then we finely got to do the proper golf! What she taught us to do was face to the black base, then get the BIG ball and put it in front of it, the we had to do the tennis ball and rubber golf ball because if she bought a real one we would might hit someone else. How far I hit it was my biggest was up to the blue cone which is 3 points. My team was all girls which is Atalia, Chantelle and Eliza. When we were going to sit down there was muddy grass there. We all had a great day. What a great start!

Transylvania indoor black light mini golf

I vant to drink your blood don don don velcome to Transylvania ha ha ha(evil witch laugh). If you don't like playing mini golf in the sun and heat you should defiantly go to Transylvania. It cools you down after a hot day outside and don't worry if you think it is scary it is so not its just mini golf in the dark. You also might be thinking am I not going to be able to see, I will smack into something well don't worry  there are glowing objects around the mini golf holes there are also parts of a stories in each course. It's a fun game for the hole family. you get to pick your club, and a coloured ball. When you walk in to play it's a adventure on the first hole it's easy just hit it one the sides and past the goblins (The goblins are fake).When you finish 11 holes you go to hole 12 and it's shaped as a zigzag and you have to hit it into a cage. Sounds good then go play.

I'm patting a real dead Dragon!

One really hot day I was walking back from school sweating a lot. Around my neighbours home and then I heard roaring coming from the garage. I took a little peep then I screamed! It was a dragon! I couldn’t believe it. I was so scared to do this but I had to do this, I put my ear on the dragon’s heart. The dragon’s heart was still. It did not beat at all. My ear went all wrinkly patterned. I cried so hard I couldn’t breath. But then I could breath. It was about to die. I was so sad. I tried to protect it from going to the Auckland museum. So I burried it. I took a picture of this memory and I kept it as it was. It was as wrinkly as a Elephant. It looked as poor as a hobo with nothing to eat. It was my sadest memory. I will never ever forget it.

feta cheese tasting

 The reason why we did taste the feta cheese is that we did read Dimitri's lunch and he had some feta cheese in his bun and everyone thought it was smelly so we did try it and we did not think it was smellie we thought it was yummy. Some people did not like the feta  cheese they thought it was yuck. Hirad, Akshay, Darius,  Henderson, Devin and Andrew liked the cheese. The people that  did not like the cheese was Pune, Junmin and Jasmine. We had never ever tasted the feta cheese and some people did not like the feta cheese and just in case we did not like it we needed to look at Mason so he could take the photo of our face when we did not like it. Lots of us did like the feta cheese we wanted more and more it was so yummy we had like never tasted feta cheese.The book was called Dimitri's lunch so the next day Miss Cheeseman brought some feta cheese and we all tasted it. Gabe thought it tasted like milk out of the fridge with salt in it. Zion thought it did tasted like vomit. Someone said the cheese tasted like feet. Tamana thought it did taste like yummy. Akshay liked the feta cheese lots he wanted more and more.

PINS

Summerland Primary school  had PINs. This time only Year 3s and 4s. We got to do can decorating, juggling, edible art, digital art, bird watching, compost building, pizza making, going for a walk to the lake, drama and sport. I did edible art my name is Stephanie. Edible art was so good we got to design our own cookies with icing and lollies. The lollies were really outstanding they were yummy. There was a lot of color icing there was green, pink and blue. We had to make a picture with icing and lollies you could make a sky tower with marshmellows and scittles, you could make a happy face with banana lollies and scittles, you can make an eyeball you could make anything you wanted to make. Juggling was incredibly fun. First we had to sit in a circle and introduce ourselves. Then we watched a person juggle two balls. We juggled two balls. Then we did a show of what we learnt. We did a quiz. Then we had morning tea.

The photographer.

Once there was a man. His name is John. John is a professional photographer. He is in his studio with his most best camera he ever seen. I'm not sure but i think that he printed photo's of himself and his favourite camera. The camera is as black as tar. In the studio he put up a lot of cords then e went bankrupt so he took  photo's of nature that was undiscovered. He copied the photo's then sold every single one of them until he was a millionaire. John lived happily ever after.
