ROOM XV: CRICKET WORLD CUP HITS SPS

ROOM XV:

CRICKET WORLD CUP

HITS SPS

On Saturday my sister and I went to Eden Park for the International Cricket World Cup match. South Africa was playing Pakistan. I was going for Pakistan.

Me and my sister walked up to the bus stop. We caught 502 to the Ellerslie train station. We went to the Ellerslie train station. We then caught the train from Ellerslie to Kingsland. Then we trotted up to Eden Park. Me and my sister were full excitement. I said to my sister, “Is this a dream?”

When me and my sister were at Eden Park my sister got yummy hot chips and my sister also got sugar donuts. They were also yum. Then the big screen showed the players and the crowded went wild. The screen showed the two captains from Pakistan and South Africa.

When both teams came out the crowd went wild. South Africa wanted to take a blow first. South Africa got 10 wickets and Pakistan also got 10 wickets, so Pakistan won by 29 runs and Pakistan won in 48.5 overs.

I had a great time at Eden Park. I didn’t get go for the whole thing but I had a good time.

Excellence in performance!

On Friday Room XV was very excited as we performed two amazing plays. The plays helped us understand our stories

 

Lina and Armel in high drame!

It was fantastic. You should of watched them! I just can’t stop talking about it. The actors really enjoyed themselves and the directors were really good.

Meliame acting and directing!

I was the director for my groups play. This meant that I had to give people roles. They were all happy with what I did. My group did an amazing play!

I look forward to my next chance to perform an amazing play in Room XV.

Room XV's 'Trenches'

Yesterday everyone in Room XV had to go into the trenches of Gallipoli, as part of our Inquiry investigation.

We were all pretending that we were World War 1. It was so fun. Also it felt real with all the sounds from World War 1 playing in the background.

We tasted what they made in World War 1. It’s called Hard Tack which tasted like bread. I’ve seen Hard Tack before because it’s on this game that I’ve played before.

Most of us imagined that the trenches were real. It’s was extremely  dangerous. Three of us died from the snipers and ‘big as’ machine guns. Last but not least we had to write letters to our parents and family. We had to write letters back to back to our loving families.

It was so fun I wish you could of been there.

Room XV’s Art with Whaea Dagma

Room XV’s

Art

Kapriyani, Elisa and JoArnia study their subject

with

Whaea Dagma

On Thursday Room XV went to Room 22 to do art with Whaea Dagma.

When we got there we had to sit down on the high and low chairs. We each got a white piece of paper. With the paper we had to draw flowers that were different.

William makes his mark!

When we were drawing our cool flowers, Whaea Dagma played some music for us. It was really fun because we did three pieces of artwork. We drew flowers that our artist drew. Her name was Georgia O’Keeffe.

On our third black piece of paper we were learning how to blend colours. When we blended the colours it looked so cool.

Whaea Dagmar shows the way.

When we left we felt a bit upset because we wanted to stay and do more art, but we felt proud of ourselves.

To Mr Cowlrick,

I am writing to you to tell you all the amazing stuff I did in the holidays.

In the holidays I had a wonderful time at the Fun Fest. I went with my sister and her friend, and also my mum. All of us had such an amazing time going on cool rides.

In the holidays I also went to my sister’s waka ama because she was a competitor. The whole of my family went. Also we stayed at a cool motel. On the last day went to Hamilton town square. The town square was cool because it had a big chess table. Me and my sister had a game. We stayed at a wonderful motel in Hamilton. This motel was lots of fun.

Thank you very much for reading what I did in the holidays.

Regards

Bosco
