Our Trip to Ambury Farm

Here is my writing about Ambury Farm

Have you been to Ambury Farm before?


We went to Ambury farm because we were learning about farming. Debbie  took us into the barn and we had to do a matching game. It was all about inputs and outputs for Farmers. Our group got all of the questions right. Miss Lavakula had to split us into two teams the other team went to the milking shed and we went to the shearing shed or the wool shed.


The wool shed smelled like poo and every body covered there noses. Janine was a farmer she gave each row a bunch of sheep wool she had told us to “rub it all over our  skin” it was so disgusting.

Next Janine had showed us how to cut the poo of the sheep’s bottom with a machine when Janine finished with the sheep she had put it down a chute. Janine got the chute ready for us to slide down our line went t was so fun to slide down I wanted to have another turn.

Next we fed the lambs, goats, chickens, rooster and the baby cows are called mammals, all of the animals  were nibbiling the food out of my hands it was ticklish. The scare dist mammal was the baby cows because they are frightened of people. But my favourite part was when we got to feed the animals and it fun at Ambury farm.

Silly Uncle Jamie

Ashley November 24, 2013

 Yesterday morning my brother Mike and I had to go to silly Uncle Jamie's house because mum had to go to work. Every time we go to Uncle Jamie's house he is always nervous.

 The next day Uncle Jamie went on a hunt to find gold we went looking for him. We saw him digging a huge hole and we thought it would be a good idea to go and help him. As we dug we kept going deeper and deeper, suddenly we found treasure. It was a massive chest with something engraved on the outside.We decided to take it back to Uncle Jamie's house. When we got back to Uncle Jamie's house he went to get a magnifying glass to look at the engraving. He was so nervous and shaking that Mike had to take the magnifying glass off him so we could read the name. As we were reading the engraving Uncle Jamie shouted "oh my gosh it is Great Grandpa Jacob's chest".

 Uncle Jamie decided we should open it and see what was inside. We looked around Uncle Jamie's kitchen for something to open the lock. I was searching through the cupboards when I discovered a key it was hidden at the back of an old tin of biscuits. I ran to show Mike and Uncle Jamie. "Look what I found" I shouted. "Maybe it will fit in the lock" said Mike. Uncle Jamie grabbed the key from my hand, As he walked towards the chest Mike and I saw him shaking. Uncle Jamie remembered that Great Grandpa Jacob had told him he had buried a chest of gold somewhere in the trees around Uncle Jamie's house. He had opened it and there was lots of gold and we became rich.

Missing the bus

Here is my paragraph that I had written. It is all about Missing the Bus.
This story is about Missing the bus. It is all about a girl name Teina she had to go to the library to get her books just as they were running around the corner mum had missed the bus so they had chased the bus to school Mako and Dean was laughing at them. Finally they were at school, Teina’s mum said “we should walk to school every day” "but what if it rains" we could take the bus to school. 

The moral about this story is exercise .

Athletics

On Friday we had athletics. I was in Te Arawa. All of the year 5 girls went with Miss Lavakula. Our first activity was sprints. Miss Lavakula told us to line up behind a person. My heart was beating so fast I was so nervous. We had to run 75 meters and 100 meters. The finish line was between two orange cones.  After sprints we had watched the year 7 & 8 boys do discus because they hadn’t finished their turn.  Then it was our turn, we got split up into two teams. Raewen was the first person to do discus, Paris was the second one and I was the third one I came first place. Even though I came first  I was so scared to throw the discus because it was heavy and I couldn’t hold it properly. We had two throws each. The 3 people that made it in the top 3 were Elizabeth, Mahana and Taunese.

I felt happy doing the activities and I did better than last year. I hope I do even better next year. I was proud of myself for coopoerating and encouring other people .
