Dillon Sails on the Ted Ashby

It was a windy day, a cold and gale force wind was biting my warm face on the Ted Ashby. When we were on the sail boat we went towards the Harbour bridge with the wind blowing against our clothes. The wind moved the boom left to right. The icy wind was blowing heavily and strongly.

Pulling and heaving with all my might the sails were slowly going up. I struggled as I heaved, pulling the sheet fast with the wind blowing on the sails. I was wondering if the sailors thought it was a hard job, because for me it was.

My Pirate Wordle

This is a wordle about pirates from our stories. It tells you the words we used the most and the least. The words that have been used the most from our stories were Pirate, leg, eye, name, black, captain and big. The least were hook, sword and strong.

Warriors Vs Roosters

Kevin Locke neded a strecher to exit Ami Stadium but it was the Roosters that went home sick and sad. Kevin Locke should have been proud that they won and the Warriors beat one of the top teams. There was 35 minutes left, the time went fast. The winger Locke had scored 3 tries and also been injured badly and IT WAS OVER!

The Eruption of New York

We made our volcano and houses and made the volcano erupt too.

We did really well on our writing and voice over we leant a lot about volcanoes. The thing I enjoyed most was watching our volcano erupt I really, really enjoyed it. Next time I hope I work better with my group.

What did I enjoy about it? I enjoyed making our movie. What could we have done better? Not play around during work time. What part did we do really well? Writing our voice over. What did I learn from doing this? I learnt how to make a volcano and an eruption. What would I change for next time? I would change the colour of the volcano.
Kane

I enjoyed making our movie because we had fun doing it.
We could have made better objects to make our movie flash.
We did the editing well and perfect.
I learnt how to cut shapes out better and also how to make objects for our scene.
I will change by spending more time on the work were supposed to be doing instead of mucking around.

Dillon Warriors vs Tigers

The Tigers kicked off and the warriors chased the ball. They caught the ball in the air and bumped people off. The reff called 1! The Warriors played the ball and Steve Price chipped it to Vatuvei, he dove for the line - It was a try! The crowd went wild and jumped up and down.

Warriors kicked off and Kevin Locke jumped up, caught the ball and stepped Bengi Marshall but Locke got tackled after he had side stepped. The ball was played and got passed to our prop. He took the run and nearly got through the Tigers ruck. The ball was played again and passed it out to the wingers, but they got driven back and lost the ball. Kevin Locke picked it up and got the best runaway try ever. The Ref blew the whistle and it was full time.

Michael Jackson Black or White.

He Tangata, He Tangata, He Tangata

We made this movie as part of a competition for the Auckland Museum. Lots of schools from all over Auckland entered the competition. We were delighted to find out that we had made the finals. We got to go to the awards ceremony at the museum too. Keisha Castle-Hughes even gave out the prizes!
The idea of our movie is that even though technology has changed throughout the years, people are still the most important thing in our lives.
All of us enjoyed making the movie. We were so excited to find out that we had won the most Creative Storytelling category. We think our movie is just AWESOME - What do you think?

Dillon's Recount of Iron Brion

We went to Iron Brion to learn about Iron that is in steak and lamb .There were men called Eddie and Iron Brion and a lady named Sarah.We had some cool games in the hall with Iron Brion. I went up and danced on the stage and we all won a prize. We did jump jam and said huu haa huuhaaa. We had burgers with iron in them for lunch.

Sing a Song about Volcanoes

We are so amazingly awesome that instead of writing stories about our learning we write songs and make movies. It's so much more fun and you know what? We remember more of it too!

Dillon's Camp Poem

Cautiously I went up the steep rocky wall.
Anxiously I skated in the oval ring.
Munching in our tent like we were having a big feast.
Percariously I tip toed passed the crabs to my kayak.
Kindly I helped some people to drag their kayak.
I crept out of my bed but Miss King snapped me.
Nachos were the chips I munched for my midnight feast
Dads were the security for at night.
Naughtily I had a big midnight feast.
Excitedly I jumped out of the van to go skating.
Skating lets you do so many talented things.
