Yesterday I went on the year 6 bike ride! First, we just went through this frame bit then we went into the bush after that there was this really long tunnel that we went through and then we went to see a waterfall. We bike a tiny bit more then we hade lunch at a place with this old building with these things hanging from the roof. We ate a little then explored, we went to these old cart things and up the stairs, then we did some more biking but we got to a really narrow part that we had to walk our bikes for a little while after we rode all the way back to the cars got in and went to Mc Donalds! I got a frozen coke and a caramel Mc dip! I went in a car with Lily and Teana! It was super fun!

Chapter Chat, Geurtude!
This week I did the chapter chat task of drawing Gurtude the gorilla with flying goggles on! I think I did a SUPERNOVA because I drew Gurtude with the goggles and I made a title then I put three little drawings of Erik, Sid, and Grandma! I also put some facts about gorillas on for Gurtude! I made the drawing look like a photo because I drew a frame around the drawing! I drew a little plane because she is wearing flying goggles! I found it super fun and I can't wait till next weeks and I hope they save Gurtude in the book!

Case Closed!!!
This term Whetu had a crime scene! So we based some of our learning around the crime scene to try and solve it! Today we finally made the person confess! We had our two last suspects in to ask some questions about the crime scene! All the evidence pointed to Mrs Taaffe! Some of the evidence was she went to school on the day of the crime scene, she had fingerprints all over the scene, and she had her hair cut and coloured after she went to school! The things she stole were the HDMI cable thing and some milky way chocolates! She needed the HDMI thing because she had been having trouble chrome casting and she saw the chocolates and she took some! She did it on Sunday or Saturday the 10th or 11th! So that is how we solved are crime and got are badges! It was fun!

Chapter Chat!
This is probably my favourite chapter chat I have ever done! I really enjoyed making my animal cage but then I thought I could make it better so I thought I could add a tiny ice cream stand and some people and the little signs like zoos have! I even made a kid holding an ice cream! The only mistake I made was that I made the meerkats bigger than the people but that is ok! I really liked doing this and I thought it was so fun and can't wait till next chapter chat!

Letter of the week, E!
This week for letter of the week the letter was e! I found e hard on some questions and easy on others! It was a fun letter because I had to think about some of the things I wrote down and some of the other I could just write down but then some I had to search up! Some people say it is too early for Christmas but I don't think so! I can't wait till next weeks and it was super fun like always!
Think like a detective, codes 4 and 5!

The Case Of Jack and Jill!
There are these sheets called Grammer cop and there are different grammar things each time that you have to solve and this time we had to write he and him in the right places! I think I got them all right and did a good job I can't wait for next time! I don't know what we will do next time!
Think like a detective
There are these codes around the classroom we can solve if we want and I have solved everyone so far to get my badge and the ls ones I need to solve are code 5 and code 6! Code 1 said do you want to solve a mystery, Code 2 said look carefully to uncover the clues and code 3 said this is no red herring. It was super fun and I can't wait to do them!
Who Dunnit story
This is my story:
Mr Bob was an older man, he was short and chubby just like his grandfather. His hair was like grey stalks of grass which matched his long blue overalls and his red-checkered flannel shirt. His friend Jimmy Slop was the opposite of Mr Bob, he was a beanstalk that was at least 6 foot! He was young and had soft brown hair that swayed in the wind. Jimmy worked for Mr Bob and helped him feed his beloved cow Buttercup and all the pigs. He got paid 50c an hour, and Jimmy was happy with that since no other person would hire him with a record of shoplifting, but Mr Bob had hope in him so he would try his best to please him.
Mr Bob was down in the paddock feeding Buttercup in his field of Buttercups as Jimmy arrived. Jimmy came running out of the car and as he reached Mr Bob he was breathing hard as he had been in a rush. “Mr Bob have you heard the news?” Jimmy asked between breaths, “What news?” Asked Mr Bob in his old gruff voice as he leaned against the fence, “There is a man around here stealing cows, I thought you would like to know as soon as you can” Jimmy said as sitting down. Buttercup came over and licked him till she had a taste of sunblock and staggered back in surprise. “ Thanks for telling me but we have good security, the pigs are always awake all night and they will scream at anything that goes past!”, Jimmy laughed “all right Mr Bob I will see you tomorrow after I finish up here I have a concert to get to!”
Mr Bob grabbed his PJ’s and went to the shower, he really needed a warm steamy shower tonight after the pigs had dumped him in the mud and licked him so he was a muddy puddle!
RING RING RING! Mr Bob grabbed a towel raped himself up and grabbed his phone, “Hello Bob speaking” Said Mr Bob, “Hello this is Annie and I am part of the council and it is my job to ring all the farmers in this area to warn them about a guy who is going around stealing cows. We have people going around all around the area looking for this person but be careful and be on the lookout because I saw you and Buttercup in the paper and it looks like you love her Darley, so have a good day and bye.” Mr Bob replied with “ thank you and I have good security, bye!” After eight more phone calls, Mr Bob went to lay down in bed. After about five minutes lying in bed, Mr Bob decided he would not get to sleep and it was about two in the morning.
Mr Bob grabbed his dressing gown and went out the door down to Buttercups paddock, when Mr Bob got there he was surprised because Buttercup was not out in the paddock where she always sleeps. Mr Bob thought she must have just been a bit cold so he went to check her shed. In the shed, he saw a big hump and said good night to Buttercup the hump and walked back to the house.
After he new Buttercup was safe he slept through the whole night with no dreams at all. When he woke he got up to go feed Buttercup but when he got to the paddock again she must have been in her shed, Mr Bob walked to her shed and found a cow standing there, but this cow was not Buttercup this cow was a completely different cow. After a little of standing there staring at this new cow Mr Bob heard Jimmy pull up the driveway and hop off his car, “Jimmy” Mr Bob called in a wobbly voice, “what is it Mr Bob, is Buttercup sick should I call the vet?” Jimmy asked unsurely. Jimmy had never heard this tone of voice come from Mr Bob and it clicked just as Mr Bob said “GONE, she’s gone!” Mr Bob yelled, “ No she can’t be but the pigs the, the the”. “ She’s gone Jimmy and they gave me this stupid cow” Mr Bob was freaking out now.
Jimmy got Mr Bob inside and drinking a cup of coffee well he called the police. RING RING!
“ Hello Mary speaking,” said the lady on the phone “What are you calling about today?” “Hello my name is Jimmy and my friend Bob has had his cow Buttercup stolen” Mary seemed to think for a second, “OK I will send some cops down soon OK?”
“OK thank you bye” And Jimmy hung up. Jimmy went into the kitchen to make another phone call that Mr Bob did not know was about.
The cop’s arrived at last and calmed Mr Bob then went off to try and find Buttercup before dark. Mr Bob got up and went to sit in Butter Cups field for an hour or two. After two hours of crying, he got up and went to walk home but on his way back to the fence he found a note. The note said “If you want your silly cow back find another note at the Blue river” Mr Bob gasped he had a chance to get his Butter Cup back!
He arrived at the Blue river at eleven o’clock and he found a note that said “ your cow is somewhere big but unknown to most people” Mr Bob also noticed that there was an oil stain on the note and he knew where Butter Cup was!
He got to the factory at one in the morning and he snuck in. He found Butter Cup in a cage. Lucky the lock was easy to pick. He and Butter Cup were almost there he could see outside when a deep voice said: “where are you going with that cow?”
Jimmy was going to the factory, he could not let Mr Bob know that he had helped his cow be stolen because he knew the pigs would not snort at him.
The man had taken the Butter Cup again and now he was locked up too. He opened his eyes and as he did he saw his cell door open and Butter Cup standing there!
He and Butter Cup lived a happy life and Mr Bob had to fire Jimmy but they were still friends!

Grammar Cop!!!
Most of the time we have a thing called Grammar cop were there are sheets around the classroom with grammar things we have to fix or fill in but not many people do them so the teachers put them online so more people would do them! This week I think it was mostly about commas and I think I did pretty good and I hope I got most of it right! I had lots of fun! I just made a few spelling mistakes!

Blog Challenge 3
For the blog challenge this week we had to research about Guy Fawkes! I found it super interesting and fun to research about! I found out so much! I did the background colourful because fireworks are colourful and I think it looks super cool and bright! I put as much information and stuff to make it as supernova as I could and I had so much fun like always!
Letter of the week!!!
For this week the letter was C! I Found letter C very hard! I had to search up lots of things! It was still very fun, though! I put fireworks for the background because it was Guy Fawkes not too long ago! For the C the colour was gold so for my answers, I put them for good writing and for some a gold background! It was still very fun!

Athletics Reflection!!!
Yesterday at school we had athletics! Athletics is when we have a few field events and some running races! The field events that my year group had to do the high jump, shotput and long jump! I did not do that well in the high jump, but I did pretty ok at shotput and long jump! For the running races, we had to do the 100-meter sprint and 200-meter sprint! For the 100-meter one I got into the finals and I think I came third, and in the 200-meter I also got to the finals but came third! I think for the learning powers I used were Resilience because I did not give up, Creativity for how I dressed up to cheer on my house, Integrity because not always a teacher was watching so we had to use Integrity, WE had to Respect our environment and pick up all the rubbish and maybe some Action! I found it fun!
