How do we make a skateboard work?

Planned by Sam, Conor and Jesse. Written by Sam.

First, you have to put ONE foot on the back of the deck (the deck is the wooden base with grip on the top).

Then, you put your other foot on the deck to get your balance.

 Once you have your balance, you have to put one foot down on the ground and push.

Then you should get the hang of it.

After that, you should try a small jump.

Tricks:

Olly, inward, 360, 180, 560, pop shove it, manual, kick flip and nolle.

Now you know how to make a skateboard work, go out and have fun with it!

Ornie

Quite a while ago, Mrs Hinde showed us (room 19) a video. The video was all about a chubby pig named Ornie that wanted to get the cookie jar from on top of the fridge. Click here to see the video for yourself.

This is my story of Ornie:

Ornie

Ornie rushed to a humongous, white airplane at the Napier Airport and jumped into the soft driver seat and flew away into the big, blue sky. A second later, he smashed the big red Auto drive button, smacked on a pair of cheap 50c goggles, then kicked the white, steel door wide open, the door fell deep into the white clouds like a pig named Ornie falling into the sea. Ornie slowly walked to the doorway without a door, and stared down at his small, grey house, frightened with fear. He felt the strong wind pushing him to his left. Suddenly, he felt a strong push from behind him. 

Suddenly, he found himself falling into a big… GREY CLOUD!!! He turned himself so his pink, chubby back was facing downwards, looked up at the plane, and saw a freaky metal robot face laughing at him from the doorway. “Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.” The robot keeped laughing at him. “Ha. Ha. Ha.” Ornie turned himself around again, to see that in 0.8 seconds, he was going to go through the grey, puffy clouds and be able to eat some cookies! Ornie pictured himself falling onto the cookie jar. SMASH!!! Ornie smashed onto his house roof, which was grey like the cloud… but… he didn’t go through the cloud… so… the cloud isn’t a cloud… it's his roof!

Suddenly, Ornie came up with another stupid idea. He jumped into his pink car with fancy photos of cooked pork, and raced down to the bottle shop, going 9,000 miles a second, slammed the door open, screamed at the counter lady, “GIVE ME A STUPID BOTTLE THAT WILL SUCK UP THE WHOLE SEA!” Suddenly, the lady gave him a bottle as big as Ornie asked, Ornie chucked it in his small, stinky boot, drove to the sea, chucked the bottle into the big, dark sea, the sea got sucked up into the bottle, Ornie smashed the lid on, ran with the bottle to his house, closed all the doors, and ripped the lid off. Suddenly, water filled half the house up, and the cookie jar started floating in the big, blue mini-sea. 

Then, just as soon as Ornie found the cookie jar floating, he doggy paddled as fast as he can, looking like a dog, to the tiny jar, filled with delicious cookies. "Oink Oink!" Cried Ornie, as he finaly got to have one, tiny little nibble of a delicious, Chocolate chip flavoured cookie... SMASH! An enormouse blue shark smashed the bowl!

Ornie suddenly fainted. Just then, a lady opened the door wide open, and an enormouse wave of  water came rushing towards her, making the poor lady run off trying not to get wet. When the water stopped rushing out of Ornie's house, the lady walked to the doorway, and stepped on something squishy, as squishy as stepping on OrNIE!!! "OH, MY GOSH!" Screamed the lady.

 "I'M SO SORRY!" Suddenly, Ornie woke up. Ornie started crying. Suddenly, Ornie saw the lady's face. 

Just then, Ornie remembered her... She has the best ideas in the universe! Then, Ornie came up with a simple idea: he asked her, "Can you please buy me some COOKIES???" "Of course, my little piggy friend!" Replied the lady.

 So Ornie followed the lady into the lady's lovely car that smells like flowers, and the lady drove him to Cookie World. The lady brought Ornie another jar of Choc-chip cookies, and walked back over to the car... But then, she tripped over a Surface PRO, and the cookie jar flew over on top of Ornie's house. "Oh, porky!" Ornie sighed. 

Ornie drove back to the Napier Airport in the lady's flower car, stole a big metal plane, flew up into the big light blue sky... And jumped off... Without wearing anything! THUMP! Ornie's pink chubby face smashed against his roof... "OINK!" CRUNCH! Ornie was jumping around the roof, chewing delicious chocolate chip cookies.

Sourthern Lights

A few days ago, Quiksilver (my reading group) read a story about the Sourthern Lights. After that, we had to retell the legend. After that, we made an iMovie of our retold story, or Telligami ect. This is MY retold legend of the story:

Southern Lights

WOOSH! The waves crash against the dry sand, as the sun slowly floats down, making the sky turn into a lovely, orange colour. Just a few meters away from the shore, there was a kid named Tama Rereti lying down trying to find the early 6:00 stars. Tama Rereti was fascinated by stars so much, he wanted to stay for hours. 

Suddenly, rainbow lights flashed across the orange sky. Tama Rereti was amazed. Years went past, and Tama Rereti became a powerful chief, and wanted to see the lights he saw when he was a little kid once more. So, he decided to build a Waka and find the lights again.

When the Waka's last nail got hammered in, Tama Rereti ordered 50 men to sail with him to find the magical lights again. SPLASH! The Waka got pushed into the water, starting their trip to find the magic lights. After several hours, the men in the Waka stopped the boat to have some lunch.

Everyone tried to catch the crazy fish squirming in the sea. SPLASH! Water was getting splashed everywhere. Tama Rereti caught a fish and the fish's tail was squirming everywhere!

 Tama Rereti gulped the fished down... but then, a big fish bone got caught in his throat! He tasted fear. Suddenly, he fell to the ground. He was dead. 

The 50 men tried to take Tama Rereti back to their people, but then, an enormous storm smashed the boat on great big rocks. Everyone except for two people survived. Those two people told the story to their people. A few days after, the broken Waka and the dead bodies from the boat washed up on the shore. 

The people found them, and dragged all the dead people onto the Damaged waka, and lit the Waka on fire. The bodies and the Waka got burnt as the people watched the smoke rising, believing that the body's spirits were carried up into the dark sky. On clear nights, the people could see (And us) a group of stars that the people believe is the killed people on the boat called The Scorpion's Tail.
