On you're diagonal right take 22 steps.

Danger Man by Mark Sizer

Today with my group Sapphire, we read a story called Danger Man! Written by Mark Sizer and illustrated by Mat Tait.

The story is about when four friends go out for an adventure and one of them fall for an unexpected adventure. At dawn Josh's best friend wakes Josh and both of them decide to explore the campsite. They woke up Luke and Ryan to come with them. It was one of those eerie mornings, which are the best. There wasn't much to explore on the main camp, but they found a lake with a zip line. There was a raft that somebody had built.

Josh had something on his mind, I'm pretty sure he wanted to ride the zip line.  So he wanted a challenge. Of course he was going to do it, but then when he was riding on it the line started to get lower and lower. He collapsed into the river. Of course he would be soaking, and he was.

How To Draw A Portrait Of A Friend

First you need a pencil, rubber and your piece of paper. You need a rubber to rub out the guide lines once it's done. Once you have got your materials, then draw a face. Make sure you draw the face portrait, not landscape.Not specifically a circle, but kind of a shape of an egg. If you look at your friend and they kind of have like a slim jaw line then draw an upside down egg. Once you have done that it's time to do the guide lines. From the top of the face down to the chin, do little dots. Try to do this as straight as possible. Now from the left cheek to the right cheek place the little dots there as well. Then you need to draw another line of dots, one centimetre below.

Next, it's time to draw the face. Where you put the second line of dots is where yo place the eyes. There is so many eye shapes. If your friend has almond eyes than do kind of a half oval shape. Do this to the top and the bottom. Also do it to the right as well, draw the pupil of the eye in the centre. For your nose it goes in to the middle of the third line you drew and the second.  Look at the shape of their nose, and draw in the middle.

Then, it's time for the lips. The lips go where you placed the third dotted line. You could draw juju lips, or really small lips, but my advice is to really look at your friends face. Second to last draw the hair, was it curly, straight, bushy?

Last but not least rub out the guided lines with your rubber.

Swimming Reflection

For the past few weeks room 10 ad other classes have been swimming.

Improvement
For the past weeks I have improved on how long I can swim. Last year I could not swim to the other side of the pool, which was 15 metres. This year I could swim to the end and also kick off the wall as well. The only thing is that I did not make it far and that's alright. I have also improve in back stroke, by also using my arms.

I really hope we can swim again!!

River Talks, Recount

Yesterday, room 10 and 12 walked down to Point England Reserve. There took place an event which was river talks. We first had to have our lunch next to the library. The only thing is that room 10 and I had our lunch in class but we weren't supposed to. We came into the library and room 12 was eating their lunch. We were supposed to, but like I said we didn't.

Right after that we had to line up, into two even lines. Then the adventure began, besides the students and prefects we also walked with the teachers as well. The way that we went was a shortcut to get there faster. Mrs. Golder, said to stay of the grass so we did.

We finally arrived and it started with a man, he was chanting  in Maori and also talking about his life back in the day. He was in the river, our purpose was to clean the river so the marine animals would live. Also so we could swim and fish. There were stations and we would move on one by one. There was  dancing, singing, drumming and more. It last ended with the two schools singing a song. Our song that we sang was Ehara.

What I Want To Know About, And What I Know About The Commonwealth Games

W

What I want to know about the games is how long does it take for the staff, or someone to set it up? To me by the looks of it, it will take for ages! Also do you have any special people that come there? Why do you celebrate it? You know how it's called the Commonwealth Games, why did you pick that name? Also how many people come to your event, 3,000, 5,000 how many?

K

The common wealth games take place in Australia, Gold Coast. This is a special event when you can do different activities. Such as soccer, touch, rugby and many more. Different countries around the world also participate as well. I have never been to the Common Wealth Games but if I go I hope I enjoy it!

Black Ferns Get Paid!

For all the hard work and dedication the black ferns get paid for their work. They get paid 2,000 dollars a week. Normally the Black Ferns never get paid. Even when they win the world cup!! Either way they finally get paid. I'm really proud of them and the All Blacks. They proved that ladies are strong and they can make it as well. They have won 5 world cups which is amazing and outstanding!!!
