mountain biking

I couldn't wait to start when we got there my bike was the first of all the Apiti kids to come off the float. We had a couple of practices up and down a tinsey track. There were little obstacles up the track like waves, jumps, bumps, seesaw and roots. Johnny Fisher and I hung at the back with Mrs Fielder and enjoyed the mites track. We try the second track we find a jump and do little jumps together. A the end of the track there was a massive hill I zoomed down it at light speed. We did it again and again until it was time for the next track. Fisher and I went on the mites track and then the mighty six pac after that I did A huge jump and landed on the wheel and I waited for a while for a rest. and then we left and that ended the day.

Once upon a time there was a lamb named Rose she did not like tight spaces so when she was in a paddock she ate a little tree down and it landed on the fence and she just jumped over the smashed fence and started walking down the road. She ate some grass and and then walked to town she ate so much grass she exploded and blew up all of Russia and caused a huge earth quake and London bridge fell down. After that it started raining fish, cows, sheep, horses, goats, chickens, donkeys, dogs and pigs.

ski story 2015

I wake up feeling great. I get ready and we wait for Lauren. After Lauren came vrrrrrooooom we were of. We played I spy. Until we stopped at ohakune I geared up and we drove of up the deserted mountain. We got our skis and boots and poles and we were of Brooke,Hannah,Johnny,Dylan and I were first down the beginners slope up and down up and down we went until our lesson started. Our teacher was called Donna. She is a very nice woman and great at skiing. She taught us how to turn and after we hit the movenpick. I was anxious because it was my first time going down movenpick. We started off slowly as my tummy got butterflies I swerved and and squashed the juice with my bum and my ski fell off. I got up put my ski back on and I swerved down to Donna. Now had to try and put leans into my turns and I had to keep my hips in an imaginary hula hoop. Then I had to start using my heels like tails. After I squeezed a sponge between ankles. Then we went up the pommel and put them all together. Our lesson had finished we said our favorite game and thank you. We made a plan and zoomed of down the mountain. I was going so fast I nearly skied of the cliff under the chairlift. I finally got to the bottom and had something to eat and we were of again. we kept going down for practice to get ready for the giant then we practiced on the giant and then Johnny,Dylan,Sarah,Lauren,Blair and I challenged the the top. The chairlift was padded with leather and it felt so good. When we got off we went down and I fell over five times.we came up again we went down I went so fast but I fell over six times. The next time I was going at  supersonic speed I jumped but I didn’t land it we did one last run and then we had a peaceful ride home.

A long time ago in a far away tree lived goblins and an ant. The goblins always tried to catch the ant to eat and one day they caught it and the goblin that caught the ant didn't want to eat it and decided the he would have it as a pet and then everyone of the goblins wanted a pet and the chief stole the pet ant.

We played best out of our three holes. Johnny won but also lost because on the last hole he stood to close to his goal posts and he swung the club and missed the golf ball and hit the goal post and snap the club broke and flew into a thick gorse bush and we couldn't get it. So then we played cricket and we had a tie. After that we fed the lambs and played in Johnny's little tent and we watched Jono and Ben. after that I biked home and had a great day. On Sunday we just relaxed the whole day and had fun.

Listen up kids this is the race where you will guide your lamb through a maze. First to the middle and back wins and there will be some secret surprises if you go the wrong way. Don't forget there is a massive bull that charges at anything that moves in there. On your marks. Get set. Go all the kids start yelling and the lambs do not respond. They all go running through the hedges and they hit the middle but the bull was right in front of them and baa, moo, baa it all went crazy and the lambs ended up on the bull back piled up. The bull bucks them off and knocks them about and one lambs starts running in the air and escapes unharmed and runs through the hedges and across the line but who's lamb was it it was Johnny's lambs. Johnny was so happy he lifted the lamb up and carried her all the way home.

Once upon a time there was tiger that was playful and one day he was singing his favorite song and walking towards danger. Before he knew it he walked into a trap. He spotted a crocodile and he called over to him and then the crocodile tried to eat him, but luckily the net was above the ground and the crocodile couldn't reach him. In the distance the tiger saw an elephant and called him over big mistake, the elephant came and started ripping the net and then he remembered from when he was little his mum got caught and she rang the bell on the top of the net and help came and saved her. So the tiger rang the bell and a lion came and scared the crocodile and elephant away and opened the net and the tiger was free.

Last Friday night my dad brought me a lamb because the man he helps didn't want it and because no other sheep wanted an extra lamb. So I got the first lamb and it is a Romney Dorset down cross. I called it Rose but sometimes I call her Rosie. Then on Saturday it was one of the best days ever because in rugby I scored 8 tries, which was half the teams score. My best one was my first one Nick grabbed a kid called Ben. I came up and took the ball and then I had a clean run to the try line but a kid from the other team was gaining slowly but he just missed his dive. I scored and then we started doing subs and Nick went onto the other team and they still only got three tries all together. Then I went to Nick's house had a shower and then we played mini-golf and we made a bet. If we won we both got a MC-flurry and if Nick's dad won we would work something out but we won and I had a crunchie MC-flurry and so did Nick. We waited for the rest of the team so the team could go to the Turbos game against Waikato. The Turbos just lost after that we stayed at our Granddads place and celebrated our Dads birthday. In the morning we drove all the way to Upper hut near Wellington. The the game started upper hut scored first but the we struck back with another try and then we had four tries. I scored we kicked off again and we got the ball I ran for the corner and told Marshal to follow me but he didn't I fended a guy away from me and I slid out but if Marshal followed me I had time to offload to him and he would have scored but it didn't matter because it was just before half time we got so close and the ball got turned over but then I went in to clean out and I went straight through the ruck and landed on the ball and my team mate dived just after me and was looking for the ball and he didn't find it because I was on it and I scored for the half time break the I got the ball ran down the sideline and cut back in and got tackled Harrison made a little 2 metre run and then I got the ball and I went straight through a gap and scored it was a good day and Marshal and Nick got player of the day.

Dam.

Yaju's week at apiti

This week something amazing happened, A lady named Yaju Cheng came to Apiti school on Monday and has stayed the whole week. We have learnt alot of Chinese culture. So far we have learnt origami[ we made lots of little people and I made the smallest of them all] we have also learnt Chinese numbers, They look cool. Our names were so cool in Chinese but there were not many letters because Chinese symbols are based on sounds but did you know there is a symbol for a boy or a girl's name. The dumpling turned apiti school speechless and then we did finger painting and I made a deer, caterpillar, monkey, crocodile and heaps of other stuff. Then at the speech competition everyone including yaju loved my speech and I got third place and then I wished yaju could stay for ever

On Saturday Marshall came to my place and we decided to play on the cliff of ivy. We went up left and then straight and then it took ages to go right because of massive holes and black berry. Then we got out the air-rifles and tried to shoot birds. I lined up my shot without a scope and bang it flew away right when I took my shot and I would of hit it if it didn't fly away. Then we got tired of missing birds and then we went to the bon-fire site and set up some old burnt glass and stuff like that when Dylan and Fisher went in we used Dylan's gun and we found more glass to shoot. We pumped Dylan's gun to the max and we shot a radio and it fell of the stump it was on and the bullet got squashed and then we found an old bath tub and we shot it and it dented it and made the spot it hit turn black and then we went inside because we were out of ammo.

Once upon a time there was a mighty Gorilla searching the jungle for three explorers named James, Johnny and Bradly. The gorilla spotted them and started chasing them Johnny had a knife and hit the gorilla but he was gaining on them Bradly threw a stick and James threw a frying pan and knocked the gorilla out. The explorers made base in a cave and Bradly decided to sleep in a bush. Then a cape buffalo and black mamba entered the camp site then driver ants came and Bradly was in trouble so he ran out of the bush screaming and all the animals chased him so James and Johnny shot the animals and they had food and they survived and took over the jungle but killed no animals.

29.7.2015 weekend

On Saturday morning I played rugby and the team we played was called Wairarapa Bush in the end the score was 18-1 to us and I got an epic 7 try record for my team. I think everyone scored a try in my team. Wairarapa Bush's try was a good one and I was off at the time and it went something like a good run and then a a good pass and then another good pass and a good run and then he scored. Everyone clapped then the game finished and my mate Harrison got player of the day. Then I went home had a sleep and it was Sunday. I got up and went to my Reps game against Wellington. We did a lot of practice before the game. I was in the starting line up for the backs and I played the position 2nd center and did a lot of blowing over and I got taken off and got put back on as a forward. When I got put back on I made a tackle and went to make another one and the player with the ball dropped the ball and I picked it up the player who dropped the ball grabbed me, but he was just too late and another player just missed me and I scored and I heard someone say he has a lot of power.

22.7.2015 HOLIDAY

On a cold soft morning I woke up rolled over and then thump!!! I fell out of bed I felt like I had no spine. Then I got told I was going to Johnny's house. when I got there we decided our plan for the day. First we tried to catch an eel. We went to check Johnny's trap when we got stuck on weeds and I took a leap of faith across the creek and I just missed the side and went in. Wipeout!!!!! I went in up to my chest and swam over to the other side and my toe got pinched by a crayfish. when I got out I felt like one million needles stabbing me. I went up to the house and got into my change of clothes then Johnny came up and we got a rake and an old fashioned spade and went over to a tree and started scraping and whacking the tree when a possum came out and ran up the tree Johnny got scared and I laughed. Then we threw the old fashioned spade at the possum and missed. Then we went inside and played rugby. We had lunch and Johnny came to my house and we went hunting for birds. we didn't get one until Johnny went home. I saw one on a fence lined him up and shot. I hit it but it flew away. The next day we found it and Dylan shot it and we had a team effort. Then we went inside and watched Big Hero Six.

Once upon a time there was a place in New Zealand and it was entirely covered with wild animals ... Apiti.  No one knew it until two brave explorers named Clip and Clop found it, and then it hit Clip and Clop they had found a place that was legendary. So they built a whole little farmy town. Then they bought over 100 million sheep and every other farm animal you could imagine. Then it hit everyone in the world. They started sending animals like antelope, puma and even a Alaskan snow leopard but the all died out in the late 1718s. But it has been forgotten since then.

Once upon a time there was a funky monkey who rode a crocodile bike while eating bannanas and saying how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, a woodchuck could chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. So when a woodchuck heard him the woodchuck got mad because he couldn't chuck wood and felt offended by this tongue twister. So never say how much wood could a woodchuck chuck and so on, close to a woodchuck or else something might hurt for a while.

The bantam and the soldier summary

Young Bantam getting picked on by the other Bantams and its war time.

When war came to the village he took the good animals with him and he left the bantams to fend for themselves.

The little bantam slept away from the others.

There was an explosion the bantams got blown up except for the little one he stayed in the bush and he was the only one that survived.

The soldiers headed into the village one was Arthur and he got picked on like the bantams by the other soldiers.

The farmer heard movement in the bushes and it was the bantam.

Arthur freed the bantam and put it in his coat pocket.

The soldiers tease Arthur about having the bantam.

The soldiers started to like the bantam.

They collected bugs for her and she rewarded them with a egg.

Bertha kept hope in the soldiers.

The battle moved past them.

They weren't allowed to take bertha with them.

They took Bertha back to the farmer and said goodbye.

Arthur returned home and was friends with his fellow soldiers.

He said to his niece i want to tell you a story and told her about the bantam called Bertha.

The Zoo

Once we had driven to Wellington, I chanted "lets go to the Zoo."  The I got told we weren't going to the zoo today, so I waited until the time came and as soon as I saw the first animal, I wanted to stay forever.  There was fast, slow, coloured, striped - every description.  There was a Sunbear, Tiger, Kangaroo, Tasmanian Devil, Wallaby, Antelope, Dingo, Giraffe, Scorpion, Tarantula, Red Panda, Birds, Lizards, there was even a Crane.  I felt like a wild animal in the jungle looking for food to hunt and kill.  Suddenly a Kangaroo jumped onto the path and poked his tongue out and ran away like a rocket.  After that, we found little Mere Cats and a huge 70 centimeter Porcupine.  Then we went to see the Lions, but only the girls would show themselves, then next were the Tigers.  One of them even came to the glass and looked at me for ages until I finally stared him down.  There were so many animals I couldn't think of a favorite.  Next was the Parakeets and other birds that fly.  My favorite bird was the Kiwi and my favorite reptile was the Blue-tongue Lizard.  My favorite carnivore is the Sunbear.  The Mere-Cats were smaller than I thought they would be.  They are so small that when one came up to the glass, I measured it and it was only an inch and a half bigger than my hand and fingers.  In with the Mere-Cats, was a big 1/2 meter black and white male Porcupine.  The Mere-Cats have nearly never noticed the Porcupine.  After that it was all-day every-day goats.  So instead we looked at the Ostrich pen, it seemed empty but we knew it has at least one in there, it was just on the direct other side from us.  The Orangatangs didn't like the weather.  The Pelican was loving it and so were all the other animals.  I was a lot of fun watching the Lemurs chase each other in a circle.  I liked a little monkey that liked me.  He was creamy brown with a light shade of black.  After we looked every where, we found no Zebra which was disappointing because Zebras are one of my favorite animals in the world.  There were some weird animals there, like these big giant rat/guinea pig looking things running around trying to hide from us.  I never forgot what I thought the Tiger was thinking - I thought he was thinking 'come on let me out of my den, I'm cold and hungry and ready to knock this door down and tear it to shreds.'  The Cheetah was keeping his distance and growling.  I didn't find an Elephant anywhere. so the biggest animal was the Giraffe.
If I could be an animal, I would be a Spring-box so I can explore the Serengeti Desert, because the Serengeti looks exciting and blooming, bursting with life, also prancing everywhere and very hard to catch would be good because then I wouldn't have to worry about them much.  When I found the Iguana, I had lots of fun finding all of the other ones because most of them were hiding under a tree or under a bush or under a rock away from the wind.
The last time I went to a zoo, I found an Elephant, Zebra even an Alligator, but that was Auckland Zoo.  Also the Baboons bottoms were pink, just like their chubby, short nose faces.  The Baboons liked to chase each other around.  When I saw the oldest Baboon, it made a scared face and ran into one of the houses.  There were young Tasmanian Devils that ran to hide but I got their picture in time, the fierce ones growled and acted like they were hunting us and one of them slid over a punga log to his house.  We watched them for nearly half an hour.  When I found the Goose, it was under a bush taking shade and also hiding.  There was so much noise everybody scared the poor goose. There were so many Wallabies I could hardly bare it.  At the Giraffe enclosure, it was so high I could see the Kangaroos lying in the sun until a little boy came and scared them out of their skins.  Then the Giraffe came round and scared me out of my skin.  It was a great day!
        

holiday

once we had driven to wellington I chanted lets go to the zoo. Then I got told that we were going to the zoo tomorrow. So I waited until the time came and as soon as I saw the first animal I wanted to stay forever.

Trail Bike Ride

At the trail bike ride at  the apiti domain 9.a.m Johnny, David, Fisher and I played hunting zombie dinosaurs because we brought fake guns and also there wasn't much else to do if you weren't riding a motorbike. it was alot of fun because I could scan areas for zombie dinosaurs with my silent machine gun. I also set up cameras to check for the big giant zombie dinosaur. Then all of a sudden motorbikes poured through the gates and all the motor bikes left me frozen on the spot. After that I was so bored I could have died until I was aloud to push bike the junior track. I found a little jump and got enough speed to get about ten inches into the air. the intermediate and senior tracks went over nearly all of the local farms and favorite views. When it came to a finish I was soooooooooo bored I wanted to run home. So insted I biked the junior track until my legs got tired so I went and rested them and then had dinner with the people that were left. Then I thought time to get some sleep and onto the next day of chaos.

30/4/2015 Bourkies dam

Last friday night we went to Bourkies dam with three spinner rods and one fly rod. Dylan, Kirsten, Mum and I went anti clockwise Dad went clockwise we didn't get any luck until the lucky corner which Dylan caught a trout at. Then I got bumped by a huge perch and he tangled my lure. He was so lucky that he tangled my line because I would have caught him because he came so close about 25 centimeters from the side. I quickly untangled my line and cast back out nothing. It wasn't until my tenth cast after that he followed it in and didn't tangle my line so I hooked him and brought him in like lightning because I hooked him so well. Dylan was over on a little jetty close to me so he was first to me Mum and Kirsten were were going toilet. They just finished when Dylan got to me so I showed Dylan and he went ohhh.
