If someone came up to you and asked you if you want some drugs what would you say? well if you dont know then this story is just for you.

If you were going to say yes then think about it first. Do you know what they put in drugs every thing that you would not eat or drink thats what is in drugs. Janola any kind of fly spray and and that black stuff thats on the road.

And if you said no then you made the right decision go for gold every one.

Murray Halberg

Born in 1933, Sir Murray Halberg with three children lived in Auckland. In his days, he was a great middle distance runner. He ran in the 5000 metres event at the 1960 Olympics, and he also ran the 3 miles event at the 1958 and 1962 Commonwealth Games. As he won his races, he was given 3 precious gold medals.

He was raised in a place called Eketahuna with his mum dad named along with his brother, Hamish. Murray Halberg trained in his backyard. In the past, Murray would race cars and he would race his brother to school.

Murray Halberg inspires me, because he was a fantastic runner and because he never gave up!

When is the right time to swear

In the 12 of June the kiwi kids news put out a post that said in USA Boston streets are banning swearing I bet your wondering how they got to ban swearing well they got a group of people together and got them sign a piece of paper saying to ban swearing.

When you are furious and some one swears at you that is the right time to swear not if you don't want to do something. Another way to say a swear word is if you shut the front door on your finger and the word just pops out or when some one just broke your new car its still the right time to swear.

Slang is a unique word for countries or words I will give you some examples like bugger  Said in frustration at something not happening or able to be done. Can be used almost anytime and anywhere except ‘formal’ places and occasions (e.g. at church). or Thongs said in australia when you are going to get your jandals.


Thank you Samson and Tui for checking my work.

The Ring

The Ring

Losing ‘The Ring’ that worked like a key to the kingdom of War wasn't going to look very good. Especially as I just volunteered for guard duty. I really wanted to be a guard but when I found that ‘The Ring’ was lost I freaked out. In a panic, I started searching.

I ran to the stable where the dragons sleep. I picked the Dragon that had the bestest eyes, the bestest nose and the fastest one out of all. Of them the only thing that was wrong with him was he had a bad wing because he smashed it into a tree when he was going too fast. So when we are flying I had to take the risk whether we were going to drop or I was going to fall off the Dragon.

So we set off on our adventure looking for ‘The Ring’. We searched the whole kingdom for five days then I realised the one place I didn't search was the waterfall. I raced to the waterfall but just then my dragon started to get tired and guess what happened? We dropped! Luckily, we weren't so high from the ground. I thought to myself now what am I going to do? Walk!

I didn’t want to walk by myself but I had to because it was a long way back and if I asked someone to come with me they will tell the king and I will be in prison forever. I started walking and while I was walking I made up a song. It went like this -

The three Rings that sat on his hand,

The three Rings that nearly got banned,

The one Ring that I lost,

The one Ring that was my boss,

I'm off to find it so now,

Get lost!

Through the whistling trees, under the falling rocks, over the bubbling water and around the the cracking ground. I was finally there! I looked everywhere but I still couldn't find it then I got really angry and stuffed my hands in my pocket and guess what..... I found the ring.

This term we started learning about painting. Today I finished my painting off, I bet you are wondering what I drew. Well, I drew a picture of a house. I drew a picture of a house because it is the easiest thing to do.

It has two main colors, black and white, and shades of these. I will tell you what I think is good about mine. In my picture you have lines all my lines are straight. All lines don't have to be straight, there are heaps of other lines like wavy, curvy, zigzags, thick and thin. Lines help make the shapes of things and can shoe light and shade.

There the two important things in your picture. You need light so when there is a sun on your picture you have a nice and light colour and shade, like when there is a tree. It takes time to do painting like Vincent Van Gogh he took ages to do painting but it it looked really cool did you know he only sold one of his paintings during he was alive and when he died he's girl friend sold thousands of paintings as you can see the picture on top of you I used layers of painting black and white make grey you see I used two layers and that is the the of my story.

Anzac day

On Anzac day I went to the movies to watch 'The Avengers' it was so cool it reminded me about the people that went to war for us. Part of it was sad and part of it was cool after the movie finished. I had to go home and watch the news because anzac was on, I was kind of interested then when they started to play the trumpets and started to march it was really cool then I started to get sleepy and went to bed.
