The funniest part of camp

While at camp we went abseiling, I was up on the wall and looked down, I had to stop myself laughing as I saw my friend Robert slip on a big brown patch of mud. It was a soggy wet day and we all enjoyed a little bit of comedy at Roberts expense, thankfully he saw the funny side and laughed with us.

Netbook reflection 2012

It’s been a great year with our netbooks since the first term 2012. Sometimes it can be challenging when we use the internet for research but we get there eventually. It can be difficult with netbooks because it can be complicated to use sometimes but that’s just us learning. Before we had our netbooks, we had paperwork, it was hard using them because we use pencils and the pencils would often break. But there have been huge changes since we got our netbooks. We are better at creating and growing more and more in our initiative.
                                                                                                    
The great things about our netbooks and our learning is that we get to look at other sites, explore the internet, solve problems, be creative, being cybersmart, better than using pencil and book and the greatest thing is we get to take it home and do extra work.

The not so good things about it is that the internet can be so slow and that can frustrate you and you end up breaking it, and they break easily. Or you get the kills pages message on chrome. I also think the screen is too small, webcam and sound needs to be a higher quality, and the hinges on the screen are too weak to handle everyday use!

I would like to thank Mr Burt and Mrs Burt for letting us use this technology and I would like to thank the people who made the netbooks

My cousins wedding

This is a video of me and my Dad and a drummer playing with instruments at my cousins wedding, on Saturday. My Mum Tina did the video. Enjoy. 

Transformers

While I was doing the dishes, my toy transformers were right beside me. But just before my eyes my toy came alive! Its name was Bumble Bee, a car that goes very fast and a car that goes bbbbrrrom bbbrrrom. But then,
it said, “Hi my name is Bumble Bee”. The planet they came from is cybertron. The war against the autobots and the decepticons has lead them to the earth. The names of the autobots were Bumblebee, Ratchet, Ironhide, Jazz and the leader, Optimus Prime.

The autobots had to save the earth from Megatron and the decepticon's. All of us went to secure our area.
The decepticons plan was to create a bomb and place it in the power plant in the city so when it blows up it could form a black hole that can disintegrate the earth and suck up all the innocent people. The main thing we had to do was to protect the power plant. But just then, Star Screen and his companions struck us by surprise and was defending the power plant. We thought we would never get through, but we thought back and they retreated.

When we got to the power plant there was still a little more time. Megatron and Optimus were fighting, it was like they were even in their skills. Optimus was fighting to save the earth while Megatron was fighting to destroy the earth. But when Megatron saw that I had held on the cube to activate the bomb, He went after me. I had ran through the dust, Megatron had caught me and I placed the cube in his chest and that was the time that he had more power than ever, But then, the cube had too much power so Megatron collapsed. That was the day I met the autobots.

Armageddon

Today on Labour day (Monday 22 of October 2012) me and my brother went to Armageddon, the greatest place I ever went to! Armageddon is a place that is all about the latest in gaming. There were lots of different gaming activities and a lot of people. For example, laser tag is my favourite game. You have to pay $4 to enter. In laser tag you need a laser gun connected to the armour, so you can get shot, with the pretend laser, or shoot with.

Anyway, before me and my brother went to Armageddon, we had some lunch first at Carls Junior. I ordered a kids meal, which was a big cheese burger, chips, and a drink. I enjoyed it. Then we headed off to the bus stop at Glen Innes. We waited for quite some time, but eventually it came. When the bus finally arrived, we hopped in and rode to ASB show grounds. At the showgrounds, we saw lots of cars and people just outside the ASB show grounds. When we got in, there were thousands of people.

The first thing we did, was to have a look around. Since it was my first time there, my brother was helpful by showing me around. As he has already been to a few of these events, in the past few years. So I was glad that he took me. We also went looking for games, at the different areas. But then we met one of the creators of The Lord of The Rings, and The Hobbit. I thought that was really cool that we met them.

Next we played with the Nerf guns, but there was a big line, so we had to wait for ages and ages. There were three activity's to do in Nerf, and we got to do all of them. It was a lot of fun. We later played a PS3 game, on a HUGE TV. That was alot of fun too.

Also, my brother saw some of his friends, so we all hung out together, as a group. We decided to go back to playing on the PS3, on the huge screen, and danced to the Gangnam style music video. The DJ played the music and we all started Gangnam dancing. We also did some break dancing, as well. All of us were doing great, until we had to leave. We also won a few prices, for our dance moves too.

That was the best place I ever went to. I had a great time!

What is fencing

Fencing is an olympic sport.  A  metal foil which is the sword and white cloths and a black mask is used for your gear.
At the end of the metal foil is a button that detects when you have hit someone and that means you get a point.  Fencing was in the olympic games since 1896. Scientist or other people say that in about 1200 BC there is evidence that fencing has been used before, in that particular year.

My favourite athlete

Usain Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter and the fastest person in the world, for running in the 100 and 200 metre sprint!
He is so fast that everyone calls him lightning bolt. And is famous for being the best athlete.

Usain bolt has won 3 gold medals in the London olympics in this year of 2012. He is the only male to win 3 gold medals in track and field this years London . He also set the world record in the 4x100 relay.
Usain Bolt has competed in 3 different olympic events this year 2012. They are track and field events like 100,
200, and the 4x100m races.

Usain Bolt was born in 1986 on the 21st of August. Did you know Bolt has 37 athletics medals in total.
As a child, he first started sprinting in the annual national primary school races. He became the school's fastest runner. Bolt is from the island of Jamaica. The capital of the country is Kingston, it’s one of the biggest cities in Jamaica and the size of Jamaica is 453 square kilometres and 480 square kilometres. The population of Jamaica is 2,709,300.

I wish I could be successful like Usain Bolt.

Fencing London Olympics 2012

This is a movie that can entertane you. It is all about fencing.

The Immersion Assembly

Our topic at Pt England school was the olympics. We are going to learn a lot of olympics 2012.
The olympics started just over 100 years ago and every four years the olympics start, again and again.  Jesse Owens was the fastest man in the world.

In the school hall term 3, Miss George and team 1 interviewed Yvonne Williams and Dick Quax to see how they got famous. Yvonne did long jump and Dick came second in 5000 meter sprint.
Team 2 did practice practice practice makes perfect to tell us to never give up.

On team 3 the sports they did was gymnastics, horse riding and boxing. Did you know the boxing  was made in 1500 - 900 BC, though it didn’t have a name. Also the first boxing rules, called Broughton’s rules was made by champion Jack Broughton in 1743. Then team 4 did a movie about syncronised  swimming to talk about themselves and the swimming. When I got in class I saw the five rings, I didn’t know what they meant, until our teacher told us, it represents the five continents.  

Neo the Boxer

This is is me competing in boxing at the 2012 London Olympic Games.

PEPA Rap Group item

This term I was rapping in PEPA 2012. This is a performing arts group at school. I performed a rap called 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem. I did the rap with Isaiah, Antonio and Uili. My Mum and Nanna came to watch me rap on the night.

Neo's weekends

Weekends are so cool, you could go to your friends house and play Xbox 360 and have a sleepover or play sport with your dad or rub your dog's belly.

On Saturday I went to the indoor skate park called sun sk8 with my Mum, it's my favorite indoor park and you have to pay five dollars, when I went through the door I was a bit nervous, but there was only two people there.

I was suppose to have skateboard lessons but EBS canceled it, but one of my skate friends were there and he thought the lessons were on too, so I stayed a little while then we left, he went home but I went to another skate park in glendowie.

My progress

 Here is my progress for week 6 - term 2 

Neo swimming

This is an animation of swimming and a little bit of music I created from garage band

Skateboarding

On saturday 19 of may, I had skateboarding lessons from EBS. We went to sun skate, it’s an indoor skatepark and ashley a church too.It cost five dollars to get in and cost ten dollars for skate lessons. As I was walking in I was a bit nerves, that happens every time I walk in.
In time to time I learn more moves and more moves and more moves so I can be like Tony Hawk.

Neo glen Innes swimming pools

At term 2, we went swimming pool lessons. first we had to get our togs and plastic bag because without our togs we won’t be able to swim. we walk down to glen innes pools and get changed in the changing room and then jumped in the pool. there’s three groups, group three get’s to go in the big pool and group two and 1 have to go in the medium pool. Swimming can be a lot of fun but it is important to learn because if you don’t you will drown.

Neo Aussie rules

At school, my class room 16 and me learned how to play Aussie rules, followed by room 17, who were learning too.
The skills we learnt, were how to pass the ball,  like when doing a pirate dance,  by swaying your arms.
Well, at the beginning we did some warm ups by running up and down the netball courts, and touching the painted line on the ground, and then ran back, to where we were, a few times.
After that, we were ready to start doing passing drills. That was fun.
We were in groups of 3, and we had to pass the ball to each other. I dropped the ball a few times, but then I got the hang of it.
Then we played bull rush with an Aussie rules ball, and we had 3 rounds of playing it together.
I got hit with the ball on my back, while playing bull rush, then I got out. I had heaps of fun playing the games, on that day.

My holiday

In the holidays, I was at home watching spongebob on TV I always watch it. Sometimes when it’s raining I walk outside to feel it, but it wasn't raining.  
At night my mum and I went to the Great Tong takeaways to buy chicken and chips
and a big meal.  Then we took it home to eat. it smelled yum and it tasted juicy. I had a good meal.

Pirates!

I've got a black Pearl ship

to find him they got to that Island Davy jons Island.
Davy was a bad pirate, his crew and him self were sea creator men and a big sea monster called the Cracon.

Ben Cason

On Tuesday a wonderful day, we went on a trip to see the famous Dr Ben Cason. It was in the telstraclear event centre. We went at 10:30am.

THEN finally we went to the bus. While we were in the bus it was getting noisy, REALLY REALLY noisy and I had saw ears. After all that tragedy we had finally reached the events centre but, when we were heading in, it was LOUDER than the bus. Finally we sat on our seat but before we could meet Ben, we had to listen to the man who introduced Ben.

That man was talking about his reading life. He was funny and we started laughing but at the end, it was getting sad. After the happy and sad stuff, he finally introduced him. There he was, yes, the famous Ben Cason. I was so exited to see him!

I will tell you a little story about him. When he was Young, every one teased him. They said, "Your too dumb!" Then everything went wrong but there was still time for him to change. When he got home, his Mum told him that he needs to go to the library to read three books a day and watch 2 programs on TV and he would grow up to be a Doctor!
