vampires and witches.

lately I have been writing a story about vampires and a witch and so far i am on chapter two.
i cant put it on the blog but i can tell you about it.
the main character is a girl named Elisabeth rose and she was walking home one night and a vampire came and tyred to kill her but ended up with out knowing changing her in to a vampire.
she woke up a day later and found herself lying in the ally she was changed in and found her hand mirier.
she looked in it and saw no reflection.
she met a girl vampire named Gemini and she took her to her family and they took her in as their daughter.
that is all i can tell you but i might put it on the blog or maybe even print off allot of copies and sell the book out side my house or out side a shop or at the school car boot sail i don't know but i will not be finished for quite a wile so if you want it you will just have to wight.

a little fresh up!

Here is a little fresh up on what we have been doing at Tokomaru school.
We just healed the cluster cross country and I was in the side lines,
We have been learning about friction lately in science,
We started to do jump rope/ sipping which I have not been able to do because on the week end I was at the Toko park and I jumped on a nail with out knowing so I had to get an injection at the doctors,
In dance class we have been dancing to party rock anthem and like the title says ''party rock'' we are having a rocking party when we practice!
With Mrs Alcock we have been learning how to link our work and let me tell you we are getting AWSOME!
That is just a bit of what we have been doing in class at Tokomaru School. 

cross-country

On your marks, get set, GO!

It was another wet, sloppy cross- country for Tokomaru School. The room 2 children started off, than the room 1 kids went off and then it was our time to shine, room six’s time to shine. The girls started off and I started off too.

Once I crossed over to the farm I started to walk because I used up all my energy when I started.

I was getting exhausted from walking than stopping over and over again.

When I was half way through the race I suddenly got a dry throat and a saw stomach so I could not run any further and to top it off I got the stitch.

I couldn’t stop tripping over big stones, poles and rabbit holes but that did not stop me from trying to run.

I got really hot, sweaty and itchy when I got in to the long grass and it gave me a rash.

When I got back to the fled I got nervous because lots of people were yelling at me ‘you can do it grace run!’ so I ran  for my life and when I got around a corner there it was just waiting for me to run through it, the finish line...  

smoke room

Last week, Tokomaru School walked to the Tokomaru fire station for a visit.
While we were at the fire station the fire men and woman told us how to be fire wise. they told us how to get down, get low, get out and stay out and we got to practice that in the smoke room.
The smoke room is a room full of peanut oil smoke that comes out of a special smoke machine and you have to practice getting down getting low getting out and staying out. I went in with Jayde, Moio, Lauren, Cheymani and Jono. We got a lolly pop and juice when we got out and when we got out the second time we got the same but we also got a fire wise activity book.
They also told us about how candles are sort of dangerous and where and where not to put them.
We had a photo by the fire truck and after we got certificates and we walked back to school.
I hope you enjoy this video!

touch rugby!

on Friday the 1st of April (April fools) some students from Tokomaru school went to a school touch tournament.

before i even got to play my first game i slipped and almost broke my leg so i was out for a wile witch really upset me.

the games that the year 5 - 6 were playing was 1-0 against Linton camp so we lost, 2-1 against tuatea so we WON! and 1-1 against opiki so we tied.

i had such a fun time at the game even though i had a bad leg and i hope i can do it again next year even though i am not really a sporty girl.

Spot me on the Bike!

last week we had our school triathlon. it was very trying but very fun. i like this clip because it is in slow mo and i like the song. i hope you enjoy!

2nd quake

once again Christchurch has had a big earth quake and even though this one was 6.3 and the first one was 7.2 this one has done more damage and has killed.
my brothers flat is in Christchurch and it is condemned so bad that he may not get his stuff back. (he is fine)
i hope That this is the last quake for Christchurch.
three men were removing the pipe organ and then the quake hit then the church just collapsed and they died...
this is one of NZ's darkest day...

my first few weeks back to school!

on my first day back to school I saw all my friends, people I know and new faces.
It was sad to see that some people have left to go of to high school.
the thing our whole school is studying is picture books it might seem babyish but we are reading big kid picture books. my favorite book so far is looking like me.
the first term of the year always has swimming, bikes, scooters and lots of things with wheels ( I bring my scooter)
When we go over to Room 1 we do art and study. we have been studying a remarkable new Zealand person and i chose Stan Walker because i found a lot of info about him.
and my favorite... ART! we have done two posters one about our self ( mine is fabulous!) and one about our dream land and mine is called " Grayce Pooh's jungle ville" and it is AWESOME!
