Melville Intermediate - Jamies Holiday Recount

Believe!

The room rolled with laughter as my favourite part of the movie came on. It was Sandman, he can’t talk and he couldn’t get anyone’s attention so he picked up one of the elves and shook him until they noticed him. The elves had a Christmas tree suit on that had a bell at the top of the outfit made everyone one look at him because he had an idea anyway….

On the twenty third of January nana, Kylie and I went to go see the rise of the guardians, At event cinemas. We had just got in the cinemas and Kylie asked nana “Can we eat the lollies yet?” Nana said ok but don’t eat them all at once! The movie had begun.

There were 7 main characters and there were all brave, cheerful, k8nd surprizing but most of all fun at all times…. Well at least most of them were. Just one character was evil I tell you EVIL!!!!!!!!! His name is PITCH BLACK….. Well the nice characters names were Santa, Sandman, Tooth fairy, Easter bunny, Jack Frost But most important Jamie. Pitch Black was mean, evil, rude and PITCH BLACK!

The story is about believing and…….. The Guardians! The Guardians are on a quest to save the world pretty much. The moon talks to them and tell them things like what they need to fix and how to make things better. The moon told Santa; wait no this is where my favourite part came in, Sandman remembered that the moon could help them… This is where I tell you that Kylie fell off her seat and I laughed really loud and the whole cinema looked at me. Well there was some popcorn on the ground but I mean that doesn’t matter that much.

The rise of the guardians is an awesome movie I would love to tell you more about it but I cant because otherwise I wouldn’t be writing a recount……..

After the movie we had M.C. Donald’s for lunch and we went to go get an ice cream when I tripped over a chair and laughed loud…..AGAIN…..Can you guess what happened…. I you guessed that the whole food court looked at me well your wrong the whole shopping centre looked at me…. So that was a bit embarrassing but I guess that doesn’t matter at least I had fun!

I had the best time of my life!

Melville Intermediate - Owen's Mystery Food!

 This mystery item belongs to Owen - he knows what it is, he likes to eat them for his lunch, but can anyone else out there identify what it is?

 We didn't have a successful identification from the students of Room Five, so is there someone out there who can help us? Or has Owen stumped our audience?

Owen is a new student to Melville Intermediate in Room Five for 2013.  Last week in class he was consuming a mystery item for his lunch.  No-one in class was sure as to what he was eating (although of course Owen knew) we were talking about who else would know? Do you?

Melville Intermediate - The Shallow Jump

The Shallow Jump

On Monday 27^th of January 2013 my aunty asked all of the family if we wanted to go to a water hole near Mount Pirongia we said yes of course so did the other families so of we went. When we arrived there were a lot of people there, first me and my cousin’s Josh, Hannah and Sam swam in the water then we decided to go around the bridge. For about ten minutes we were saying to each other “You go first, no you go first”. And we were complaining for ages then finally I decided to jump as I standard on the hand railing, I thought to myself I have to do a bomb to not hurt my feet, so I jumped and forgot to do a bomb so I just landed on a sharp rock. After the jump I felt better because I jumped before my cousins even though I had a sore foot, when I got home I looked at my foot and it was bruised but I didn’t care, now my foot is in great condition which is good.   

I want to go again. 

Melville Intermediate - School Gardens

The year sevens looked at the tomatoes and ate one and said that was so nice.  Our Y7 students had an opportunity to have a look at the Melville Intermediate School gardens.

We looked at the silverbeet and said it looks delicious to eat.  Jackie from Room Five took these photographs. The gardens are located between the computer room and the art room.

The year sevens went and saw the water tank and in the gardens  there was lots of vegetables like tomatoes, lettuec, cucumber and all sorts of stuff to see.  The water tank is for water for our toilets to flush that we recycle.

Melville Intermediate - A Hot Sunny Day

                           …A HOT SUNNY DAY…

It was a hot sunny day my sister and I decided to go to Raglan beach for a swim with some of her friends we  left Raglan after lunch, but on the way we stopped at the shop to buy some water, we arrived at Raglan township it was buzzing with people shopping for local hand crafted goods. At the beach it was so hot and the beach was packed with people sunbathing and family playing, games and most of all there were heaps of people cooling off in the ocean surf from the weltering heat of the sun. Me my sister and her friends jumped into the water, it was warm and we splashed around, it was so great, we all stayed in for a long time in the ocean
