I Made My Mothers Day


Last Sunday it was a special day for my mother. It was Mothers day. My sister had a plan. No one knew about this plan except me and my 2nd oldest sister Faheema (Fa-hee-ma). My Oldest sister Naima (Na-ee-ma) said to Faheema go and tell your friend to buy you a bouquet (because my oldest sister was in London). Our plan was to get a bouquet and put it on the bed then Faheema will tell my brother the plan, my brother will go and get our mum and our aunt and give them a surprise. It was late and my mum and aunt saw the bouquet and they were really happy. It even had a not on it saying "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY mum and aunt" from Naima (Sister), Faheema (Sister), Moonisah (Sister), Mubasshira, Mohammed (brother), Saadiya (Cousin), Shahid (Cousin). My sister and I were laughing so much that our stomach was hurting. My mum said to us "Was this your plan to get a bouquet?" we said "Yes but Naima told us to get it".

The bouquet had glitter all over it, it looked beautiful. The amazing thing about the bouquet was that it looked like fake flowers but it was real flowers and we had to put it in a jar with water in it.

The flowers were gob smacking. I loved them. Next time we will make a superior plan.

The End

Wannanosaurus Information


Wananosaurus


Anatomy
Wananosaurus (named after the chinese province where its very incomplete skeleton was found) was a tiny homalocephalid dinosaur about 2 feet (60 cm) long. It was a very priitive pachycephalosaur (related to pachycephalosaurus and stegocerus, other dinosaurs with thick skulls that probably engaged in head butting activities). The homalocephalids had thick but flat topped skulls. It was a herbivore that walked on two strong legs, had short arms, a stiff talk,and a thick set body.

Behavior
Wannanosaurus may have been a herding dinosaur that lived in small groups in coastal and upland regions.Running was probably the first line of self defence. There Thick skulls may have been used for ramming rivers during mating and dominance combat for attracting matles and as a last self defence against predators.

Classification
Wannanosaurus was an Ornithschian dinosaur, the order of bird hipped, herbivorous dinosaur. It was a member of the group Morginocephalia and was the largest and the last member of the group pachycephalosauria and the family Homaocephalidae. Wannanosaurus may be the most primitive pachycephalosaur.


When Wannanosaurus Lived

Wannanosaurus lived during the late cretaceous period, about 83 to 73 million years ago.


Diet

Wannanosaurus was an herbivore, eating soft plants fruits, seeds. It`s teeth were small and sharp.


Locomotion

Wannanosaurus walked on 2 legs and was not a very fast dinosaur. It may have gone on all fours to forage for low-lying plants.


Discovery of fossils

Wannanosaurus was named by the Chinese paleontologist Hou in 1977. Fossils have been found in China.

Canoeing Acrostic Poem

This is my my Canoeing Acrostic poem 

Craving to have fun
Anxious and fearful with my heart pumping fast
Nervracking my canoe is wiggling and wobbly
Oh no I crashed, bumped and got stuck
"Eh this is hard and difficult"
It`s like eating with a spoon and a knife but it`s paddling
"No I am going to fall!!! but I didn`t 
Going far out North

Camp Aratika


Last week on Wed-Fri year 5 and year 6 went to camp. Our Camp name was Camp Aratika. We camped on the Pt England field. We had to sleep in tents. In my tent it were Seini-Mino, Helen Tuipoloa and me.

Groups

Year 5 people and year 6 people were together in groups. There were 6 groups. They were The Responsibles which I was in, Participators, Thinkers, Honest Crew, True Crew and the Care Crew. All the groups had 2 leaders.

Leaders

Our leaders were Sam and Helen Tuipoloa. Sam and Helen were great leaders. They were not mean to us. Our group had vice captains as well. They were Latu and Omni. Our teacher was Mrs Langitupu.


Canoeing/Kayaking

One of the activities we had was kayaking/canoeing. We had to get changed into our togs because if we fell out of our canoe we would get wet in our clothes. The Responsibles got changed quickly into our swimming togs and went to the reserve. Our teacher was Mr Burt and Mrs Nua for canoeing.Mr Burt told the year 5`s how to manage (Ride) the canoe. It was like a spoon and knife because of the way you had to hold it and turn it. I was very nervous because it was my first time. I had to go, the kayak was wobbly. You had to wear a life jacket to keep safe. We could go swimming as well.

10 Pin Bowling

On Thursday the Responsibles went 10 Pin Bowling. We had to go in different cars. I went with Kaiden's mum. It was great I had never gone 10 Pin Bowling before. I was scared and afraid because I was petrified that I would not be able to pick the ball up. It was gigantic. I was Bowling like it was a tournament. It was very heavy as well. Then we had to go back to school because our game finished.

I felt really happy that I could Bowl. "I will tell my dad to take me again"


I am really happy I am a Year 5 because you do really nice things at camp. "I can not wait until it is the next camp".

Swimming

On Friday room 15 went swimming. We went at lunch time.We had to walk all the way to the swimming pools then we had to get changed.

I had to get a flutterboard because I did not know how to swim.We had to hop in the freezing cold water. I wished that I could have gone in the spa first. I went to the middle of the pools. It was getting deep.

I did not know how to backstroke so Ms Squires said "I will teach you how to swim" Ms Squires was a great teacher. If I was sinking like a fish without a fin she told me to "Push your tummy up"Ms Squires taught me in 2 days how to do backstroke.

We had a bit of free time so we had to go to the other end and hop out. I was sodden, shaking and drenched.

I got changed in a jiffy. Then we headed off to school.

I told my friend "I was splashing the water like I was so excited".
