Lakes High Vist

On the 11 September Mokoia Intermediate went up to Lakes High. I was in a group of 13 that had Thomas and Henry which made that group cool. My favourite activity was pirates which was first up for our group. We played it in the gym. You have all these obstacles like trampolines, rope swings and other gymnastic stuff. 
Another fun one was cooking where you made chocolate moulds and then set the chocolate ready to eat and biscuits that you dipped into melted chocolate and then into 100's and 1000's. That was really yum. 
Science was also really cool. We got 7 different chemicals and burnt them over top of a Bunsen burner. They all burned a different colour and some of the chemicals we burnt were used for fireworks. We had other activites like maths, drama and music which I didnt enjoy as much. 
In maths we went on a treasure hunt and in the end we got a small packet of fruit bursts. In drama we made masks and read out a script holding our maskes up to our face. 
In music we sat and watched some musicians play and sing to us. They are very telented and I enjoyed listening to them.
Over all it was a really fun day and I can’t wait to play pirates again.

Devon Intermediate Exchange

On monday 2nd of September Devon Intermediate came up from New Plymouth to Mokoia Intermediate. We played rugby, netball, soccer and basketball. They arrived at 3:30 and went with the people billiting them. I didnt have a billite. The billites then went out with the familys to do something fun and stay the night there. The next morning we welcomed them into our school with a haka porwhiri. Straight after we started with the games. First up was the mixed Basketball which I played in. It was a really good game and we won 68-26. While the basketball was going on so was the Yr 8 b netball team. I didnt really watch that game but they won 28-12. Girls soccer played next which we also won 1-0. Year 8 netball played next and won39-8. Boys soccer played and won 2-1. Then there was rugby. We were trampled like insects and lost 68-23. In the end we won 6 out of 7 games which is really cool. Today the billites left back to New Plymouth. We all said our farewells. It was pritty sad saying good bye because I will never see them again. Overall it was a great excperiance and I would love to do it if I ever have the chance.

Storm Breaker Report

Storm breaker

Zooming along a highway being shot at, then skidding to a halt right under a boat, and escaping in a BMW convertible.  A scene described in both book and movie that we all enjoyed. In the last term P4 has been reading the Storm breaker book and then just yesterday we watched the movie.

The characters are Alex Rider a 14 year old school boy how turns into a secret agent for MI6. His Uncle Ian Rider an MI6 agent as well dies from an enemy of his Yassen Gregorovich Jack Starbright his kind and caring housekeeper. My favourite character is Yassen Gregorovich because he is so slick and he can go upside down from a helicopter and he saved Alex.

Alex goes on a secret mission to uncover the truth of the Storm Breaker and on his journey he goes down a mine to find what they put in the Storm Breakers. He gets caught and then takes off round the corner into the hands of Nardia Vole. He gets put in a jell fish tank…

My favourite part was when Alex and Sale where facing it off up the very top of a building when Sale has a gun pointing strait at his hart. Yassen Gregorovich turns up and all turns to disaster.

Overall I thought the book was better than the movie but it was still great. I would recommend this for adventures young teenagers who want a great read.

Guess the Character

I am very strong and good at marital arts.
I wonder about girls
I hear the girls call me.
I see myself beating people up on missions
I want Bethany out of my life.
I am very strong and good at marital arts.


I pretend I am the man
I feel invincible
I touch my clean black shirt
I worry that I will die on missions
I cry when my sisters upset
I am very strong and good at marital arts


I understand that people have secrets
I say keep trying
I dream about my sister dying
I try and save my sister
I hope that I survive
I am very strong and good at marital arts

Storm Breaker Review

In P4 we have been reading the amazing adventurous Storm Breaker for the last term. It’s a book written by Anthony Horowitz. It has been an awesome book and it makes me want to read to rest of the series.

The exhilarating book is about a young school boy named Alex Rider going on a daring adventure to uncover the secret of the Storm Breaker. In his travels he discovers what his uncle found and what he has to do to stop Herod Sale.

I thought that the best part was when he was going through the tunnels and finding what they were putting in the Storm Breaker. He battles his way out of the compound but gets captured by Mr Grin then put in a jelly fish tank with only his special zit cream.

I enjoyed this book and I would recommend this to any CHERUB reader. This is a great read for any teenager that wants to read a great book.

New Zealand Secoundary Schools Slalom Kayaking Championships

On Monday and Tuesday I did Nationals for kayaking. On Monday it was practice day and there was lots of people on the river so you had to take turns doing the practice course. On Tuesday it was race day and you got two goes on the course. My first run was better than my secound run because I missed a gate wich put 50 secounds on my time. The catagories were Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18. I was in Under 14s and came 7th wich I was pretty stoked about. It was an awesome experiance and I want to go back next year and hopefully get a better placing.
