My Day Making Butter.
One hot day I was churning the butter, I felt exhausted and I wanted to go swimming with my friends. But my mum said "no". I still had to churn the butter my arms are aching, my hand is sweating drip by drip and it’s a really, really hot day. My forehead was sweating and the butter was getting thick, smooth and creamy. It is getting thick and hard, I looked inside the churn it was finished. I asked my mum if I could go swimming, she said “yes” and I was allowed to swim.

Tamaki Primary school.
On Thursday afternoon we walked down to the hall to get ready for fishing at Panmure Wharf.When we had been walking for a while I started complaining because it was too far to walk.I saw a bus driving past our class.I heard Susana shouting out, "Can you drive us to the Panmure Wharf?". The bus driver ignored us so we carried on walking. When we got to the wharf I was exhausted! Room 8 had to walk to the wharf first.We were second .I felt nervous. I put my bait in my bait catcher. Finally I put my bait catcher into the water.
My bait fell off! I had to wind up my bait catcher and put some more bait into it. Then I saw Lydia had caught a fish. I felt jealous because I hadn't caught one yet. I then went over to the other side of the wharf. I took my time trying to catch a fish. After a while I felt a tug. It felt amazing! I lifted up my baitcatcher, but it was only water! I was very disappointed.
When it was time to go back to school, we took a shortcut across Dunkirk Reserve. There was heaps of mud on the ground. I got mud on my shoes and feet. When we got back to school, I talked about our fishing trip with my friends.I was still jealous of Lydia! I told my Nan when I got home. She started laughing.
Next time I go fishing I want to make a fishing rod because my baitcatcher kept losing my bread into the water and floating away. When I go, I really hope I catch a fish!

Fishing at the whalf
On Thursday afternoon the whole excited Senior Syndicate walked to the hall to get ready for fishing. When we were nearly at the wharf I was exhausted and nervous because I had been fishing once before.When we got there we sat down and I put my fishing line in the water. My hands were sore because I was holding the fishing rod too tight.When my hands were better I sat back down and I started to fish.I waited for a fish to come but no fish came but I was having fun with all of my friends and my sister.Then I noticed my fishing line was at the bottom of the sea, so I pulled it up a little so fish could come and eat the bait that was on my hook.Lydia and Malia caught a fish and their fish were big and small.They felt proud and tremendous that they had caught a fish.I took my time fishing and I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for a fish to come and eat my bait.
I had a great time fishing with my school! Next time I will see if I can go fishing with my Mum and Dad at the wharf. I will go in a car though because the walking was long and hard!
I felt brilliant and proud because some people caught fish and some people didn't. Next time I go fishing I will have a bigger hook. I love fishing and will go with my family.

Jungle Drums
Yesterday on Thursday after lunch Mrs Wareham said to pack up. I thought we were going to get told off from Miss Hansell the principal. We lined up and started walking down to the hall. I heard a drumming noise. I knew we weren’t going to get a telling off. When we all got in there were heaps of African drums and we saw three people on the stage. Their names were Lucy, Chewie and Johnny. It was fun because we could drum and not write stories. We all had to do the animal dance, so did the teachers. At the end we stopped drumming and Johnny said a long time ago in Africa they used the drums for telephones and I thought it was cool.

Jungle Beats
On Thursday after lunch Mrs Wareham said to us to clean up the class as Miss Hansell wanted us to go to the hall. She said we were in trouble because we were running down the stairs. When we got to the hall we heard some noise. Then when we got in the hall there where people drumming and the people that were on the stage there called Rhythm Interactive. Their names were Johnny, Lucy and Chewy. Johnny was funny he was doing jungle dances and he was sweating so was Chewy. Johnny was getting cheeky to Chewy and Johnny said to us did Chewy get cheeky and we shouted “NO”. Johnny was leading the group and showing us some drum beats. I felt amazed because I liked the way that we were all able to join in.

Jungle Drums
Yesterday after lunch room 5,6,7 and 8 had to line up outside to go to the hall. I thought that we were getting into trouble for pushing down the stairs.
When we were outside by the hall, we were all hearing banging sounds. Everyone was trying to think what that noise was in the hall. When room7 were standing at the door, I was so surprised what I saw. There was a row of drums. I sat at the front where Miss Sharma was sitting. All of us had to sit in rows and sit in front of a drum. We were drumming and I was happy. It was fun.
There were three people on the stage in front of us. Their names were Johnny, Lucy and Chewie. I thought that Johnny couldn’t talk, but he was just using actions. We all had to look and listen. It was getting noisy, but everyone was smiling even me. Johnny put us in groups and he still did not talk. In our groups we did different rhythms. Johnny, Lucy and Chewie were good at playing the drums.
Finally it was home time. Johnny told us that actions talk louder than words. And he told us what the drums a made out off. He also said that the drums were the first type of cell phone. They used them to tell the other people that enemies were coming. Then we went to our classroom and got our bag and went home.

Dear Rotary Club,
We thank you for giving year fours dictionaries, so it can help them with learning and gives us more interesting words to use in our writing. These dictionaries are so incredible for kids to use. The most incredible part is the illustrations, because we under stand what the meaning is and how the picture tells us about the words. The illustrations are very cool, but most of all is the spelling because if we can’t spell something we can look it up in our dictionary.
We thank you so much for the help you have given us
But thanks to the Rotary Club the dictionaries and the Duffy books are all helping with our education.

I think kid’s at Tamaki Primary School should have swimming twice a year because drowning is the third highest cause of death, so it’s a good idea to learn to swim.
Not many people know 41 people have drowned in the last five month’s because some of our beaches are not safe.
Adults should teach kid’s how to swim so they can survive when swimming on their own.They will be able to help themselves or someone else if they get into trouble.
NZ is surrounded by water so we need to learn how to swim.Learning to swim is exciting, fun and could save your life or someone else’s life.
Ms Hansell I hope I have persuaded you to let us go swimming twice a year.So that we can learn more skills.

The Journey of Flora
Flora is a worm. She likes adventures and she lives in Worm Garden. One night a big bird swooped away her house. As the bird flew, other birds got jealous and fought over the house. As the house shook, Flora woke up. She looked outside, she was shocked because Flora was in the air but inside her house she thought as if she were dead. Flora was waiting to go to heaven. She drawed and when she saw a quick flash of light she went outside as the house stopped. The big birds were there, one of the families members ate her tail. Flora said “who cares I can grow another one”. Flora ran because she did not like being with the big birds. Flora ran and ran but she did not see where she was going and she fell out of the big birds nest. Flora thought she was flying . . . . . . . . . . ! BANG ! Flora fell on the ground. Flora did not know where she was. Flora walked for hours until she heard music and then she looked through a pile of leaves and she saw heaps of worms in a Worm City with all of the things you would ever want. Flora made friends with some worms. She got worried about her family and she wanted to go back to Worm Garden. She asked her friends if they know the way to go back to Worm Garden. They all said “no”. Then one of her friends said “yes” and her name is Ruth. Ruth said “my dad has finished his invention that is called the flying car, we can use that to go faster “. “I’ll go get the flying car then” she said again “O.K” said Flora. When Ruth got the flying car they hopped on it. They flew to the sky and when birds came they flew side to side and then they saw Worm Garden and they flew down and Flora saw her parents and they hugged one another and then Flora said “bye” and they felt happy.

Lydia - How to make a 111 call sensibly.
This is my poster. It is a combination of all the posters up here. It says never make a fake phone call, always speak clearly and know your name and address. Never panic when you are on the phone, the operator is there to help us and the more information we can give them clearly and calmly, the quicker they will be able to help us and send us the emergency service we need.
My poster is about making false phone calls to 111. It is a very bad and stupid thing to do. If you are playing around and being silly and you decide to ring them just because you are bored, you will get into a lot of trouble and have to pay a big fine. You are also stopping someone else from getting through who needs there help urgently.
