Safe cycling- Maddie

Safe cycling

On tuesday the 4th we had safe cycling, with constable Jos and constable Terry, they came to help/teach our classroom 2 how to bike safely on the road, we have 27 people in our classroom and 8 of us had to borrow constable Jos’s bikes and the other 19 brought their bikes. Constable Jos talked for quite awhile on how to use the helmet and how to do the ‘m’ check and all sorts of other stuff.

It was play time at 10:30 so we went for play, after play time we got on the bikes and started the ‘m’ check on our bikes, the ‘m’ check is when you have to check all the nuts and bolts on your bike, see if you’re tyre is pumped and ready to go, we all had gear bikes

where you can change the gears.

Second we got on our bikes and constable terry came ‘yay’ they set up some obstacles course that we done like zig zag, straight then stops, turning, after we had a challenge we had to go slowest but we were on our bikes, we were moving it was just who ever was the best 4 or 5 had another challenge to who could be the best and it was…….. William the people who were in the top 4 to 5 was Fynely, Patrick, William, Jessica and Me, there was a boy one and a girl one but the best ones got to vs each other girls and boys, while we did that constable jos and constable terry we setting up another obstacle course that had ramps,ladders and cones.

After the obstacle course's it was around lunch time and after lunch we went on the road, we we learning hand signals, road rules,road rules for intersections, look over your right shoulder, 1 meter from the gutter/curb, how to do the ‘m’ check and how to put your helmet on correctly- like put your thumb on you chin before you clip it up- make sure it's comfortable and fits you good-perfect and if it's uncomfortable get the right one that fits you. After the one round of the road one we had another turn because we were all next to each other and we didn't use them good. I was pretty good at biking because i was on a better bike than my real one the other people were

Science Roadshow- Maddie

Science Roadshow

At the high school a couple days, a week. It costed 12 dollars. Room 2 went to a science roadshow. We went from 12:15 till 2:00, after they showed us a couple things we got to go try some other science display, they were cool.

Morgan and I were looking at this science thing it was when you pull this a long stick out of metal and a big ball stuck to it and we pulled it, it was kinda heavy, after we pulled it this ping pong ball flew up and went straight back down, it was cool plus there was heaps of activities that we tried to go to but we didn’t do all of them. After we did some I wanted to go back to do it again because some were really cool. Well I did it again Morgan came with me because she liked it to.

Then we had to sit back down and the talked for about 20 minutes before we had to go. They talked about science for 20 minutes. The science was really cool my favourite was the ball lift, that was my favourite one because it was big and it like a second to go up and down it was pretty cool and I wanted to have it because it's cool. Everyone should of tried it. Then after the 20 minutes we had to go (sad).

I Am - By Maddie

I Am

I am as quick a cheetah but when I go sit down on the chair at home i'm a lazy Potato that doesn’t move.

My best friend is as tall as a giant and i'm small as a snail.

My hair is like a smoothie poured over my head.

My lips are little trampolines that talk.

My eyes are like grass swishing side to side

My eyelashes are like little black branches that are stuck with super glue.

I am small, that’s good and bad i can't reach stuff but tall people can reach short stuff.

My mum had size 8 shoes i'm size 6 I fit my mum's shoes.

I am as tan as a light colour of brown in pencils.

My family is tall although i’m short i’m taller then my older two sisters

I love ice cream but I don't like cream

I'm not amazing but I think you are

My family is a split banana but I ate it

Maddie's Memoir

Memoir

The beach is a sandy place with water that comes up and washes whatever is on the beach like sticks and stones, when you're in the water the stones hit you feet, it hurts.

When I was eleven Caitlin,Ethan,Louie,Bailey,Tash and Dave took the dogs for a walk the other night at the beach the dogs are Kasse and charlie, First Dave took Kasse and charlie in the car because they got too excited when we put the led on them but Dave took it off because they were crazy in the car, Caitlin,Ethan,Louie,Bailey,Tash and I walked to the beach. When we all got to the beach Caitlin yelled ‘dad’ wait for us! Because Dave was walking down to the water, then Caitlin had to take Charlie or he would be gone, I went down to the water, I took my shoes off before I went in the water.

After about half an hour the water was really weird like there was waves everywhere. Tash and me were by the water and this big wave came and got me wet Tash ran up to the stones and it nearly took me out but lucky I'm fast, Caitlin was laughing I ran up to her and took her down to the water and the wave came I held her and it got her because I ran back up when It was going to hit her. Tash had charlie and Dave had Kasse I wanted to walk charlie but he didn’t want to go in the water.

About an hour later we were walking back from the sandy hill’s I think it’s called the stone crushes, I was walking charlie since there was no water near the stone crushes, charlie ran and ran charlie had his lead I was running then we got back from the beach and we went back to Caitlin’s house. Caitlin and I had to go in the car though. Then we got to Caitlin’s house and Caitlin and I had to have a shower because we had sand everywhere on us I mean everywhere, then we got changed.

At the end of this we got changed then we all got to go in the car to get a frozen coke but I call them a frozen cola, anyway we got in the car and we got five frozen coke’s and one top choc cone and a normal coke for Dave had the normal coke and Tash had the top choc cone. Then we drove back to Caitlin’s, then we drunk our frozen coke’s, Tash ate her choc top cone and Dave drunk his coke.

I am Lucky to be a New Zealander

I am Lucky to be a New Zealander, Because.

What we have here now, like house’s, food, family, cars to transport us to places we need to be and all sorts of stuff and plus we have internet to contact people and we have phones to do it aswell. People in other countries have to take dangerous ways to get to school, mostly anywhere. In New Zealand we can have home’s to keep us warm but like other countries have a little shelter that humongus lots of people have to stay in to keep warm and not be in cold weather. I'm talking about the poor not rich and fancy the rich and wealthy people should go and help the poor. The rich can buy humongous loads of stuff like cars, boats, another house but they won't use the house they brought, they will leave it there and it will sit there untill… it might be bashed down, broken down from a gang.

As kids that live in Japan,China, Korea, some kids really want to go to school but it takes to long, like china there is a school half way up a mountain, there is a path cut out for the kids to walk up through the mountain. In New Zealand we have these two islands one is the North Island and the other one is the South Island and Stewart island it's tiny it's at the bottom of the South Island. We are lucky to have homes, family here with us, friends and our pets. We don’t have wars here in New Zealand. We don’t have strangers come into our school and shot us.

In some schools across the world it takes about 2-3-4 hours maybe 5 hours! But some kids that have cars, something to get to school in or on like a bike, you’re lucky because the kids out there don’t have the stuff we have don’t have mostly anything.The kids that walk to school are good but they walk a short distance instead like people that have houses they walk past they can say what a good country we have and they see broken houses and no houses only little shelters that are keeping babies warm because if they are cold they might die of the coldness if it's cold for the babies. If you were a baby and that was you what would you do?

New Zealand is a beautiful place to live in, it's nice, beautiful, perfect, you have citys not dirt mountains. Mountains are a tall hill make out of dirt or some other sort that could fall on … you. Would you want to die?

There are chances that you will die in the countries that have wars, killing, school kids shot dead, no booms and no shooting people. The kids in america schools can get killed by killers or shooters that kill people.

The people who kill kids at schools, they always have a mask on because if they don’t they will be caught by the security camera if they have one and then they catch the person who is doing it.

Portrait Poem

My hair is like a smoothie poured over my head

When i brush it, it drips.

My brain is a working thing in my head that gives me idea’s.

My eyebrows are like bumpy roads when a car’s going on it.

My stomach is like a monster growling and it shakes my body.

My eye’s open to breathe and see and when they shut they stop.

My teeth are like bones crunching when the brake and full out.

My hands are so small, people can't even see them.

My feet are like little tiny mountain’s moving everywhere.

My ear’s are a beat that plays music.

My shoes are a size way too big but they fit, size 6 or 3 fit perfectly.

My eyelashes full down when I cry

My heartbeat beat’s like a drum but it doesn’t make sounds  

Make someone’s day your day, your dreams have no limit’s, love your life and you're a human not a lazy potato.
