50th Jubilee Writing

In 2014 Oaklands School had its 50th year jubilee. Now I will tell you about the Uniforms over the years.

When the school first started  in 1964 the girls wore green gym frocks, a white t-shirt and sometimes a red tie.The boys wore green pants, a white t-shirt and a red tie.

In 1974 Oaklands School stopped wearing uniform and started to wear mufti to school. This was good because in summer the children could wear t-shirts and in winter they could wear thermals ect.

In 1983 they decided to change it back to gym frocks with a white t-shirt for girls. For boys it was a white t-shirt, green pants and a red tie.

In 1996 they changed the uniform. The uniform had a range of outfits. Green,red,grey tops and jerseys and green,red shorts and pants. There was so many combinations to choose from it would have been quite hard to pick.

IN 2014 we have red t-shirts, green jerseys and sweatshirts, green pants, shorts and culottes for year 0-6. For the year 7-8 students they have a special green and red t-shirt with a jacket.

Overall Oaklands School has had some interesting uniforms. Oaklands school has grown quite a lot in 50 years.

On Thursday 6th November the Tawa reading group made some kites. Here is the step by step diagram guide to show you how to make one.

our WALT was to follow an example of procedural writing.

This is the equipment you need to make a kite.

The first step was to cut out paper to make an 11 inch by 8.5 inch piece of paper

(some examples of the steps to make the 11 inch by 8.5 inch piece of paper)

In this step you folded the paper in half vertically.

(the finished fold)

In these next steps you mark 1 inch from the top left corner and the bottom right corner and fold one half across.

(folding one half across)

In this step you fold the other half over so it looks like this

now you have the base of the plane on top,

and on the bottom.

In this step you tape the folds on top together.

(the finished version.)

now punch a hole at the bottom a third of the way down the paper on the shorter side.

the hole to put the string into.

feed the string through the hole and tie it up tight so it looks like this.

100WC Week 8

I was sprinting through the forest on a fine summer's day when suddenly...An image appeared to my right. little did I know it has just my hallucination of a shadowy tree. I froze on the spot,I trembled for what seemed like hours. Soon after I ran for cover but the image appeared in front of me.It was wearing a golden metalic cloak. As I was sprinting, I smacked into a tree.I was unconscious. Seven hours later I woke up from my coma. I gazed over to where the image was standing, only to find it was a strange looking bronze tree.

...I Could Not Believe The Smell...

My lungs are smouldering, my nose is swelling up,it's impossible to breathe. The horrendous stench is melting my insides. I could not believe the smell. It smells like a thousand ogres that haven't bathed in 999,999,999 years. I'm watching everybody around me slowly faint. The grass is turning brown faster than the speed of light. Leaves are plummeting off the trees,straight to the ground instead of drifting. I ventured closer to the stench. The stench became even more repulsive. It appeared to be coming from the public toilets, so that's where I headed. I carefully unlocked the door. Only to find the culprit was........

CAPTAIN TORY NARRATIVE

Part 1

Have you ever had a time when you wished secrets weren't secrets? I have and I almost died because of it.

It was extremely foggy, not only was I invisible in that fog but I am also extremely short making it even harder to see anything. But one thing I could tell was that my brand new schooner was acting strange. I looked over my shoulder and there I saw him...Just standing there....With a lantern... Swinging it.... Every three swings my schooner went psyco I thought this must be the answer.

"H-h-h-h-h-h-e-e-e-e-l-l-l-l-o-o-o," I'm trembling as I speak."M-my name's Tommy THAT LANTERN It's magic, it makes my."

"SHHHHHHHHHH, .don't say anything,it could end the world if used in the wrong hands."

"IT COULD!"

"I know, how do we fix it?"

" humph, come with me."

"Where'd the lantern go?"

"That guy has it!"

"Uh Oh,STOP HIM!"

The two heroes chased and weaves until finally they caught up with the person that they were after. They cornered him and ran at him.Then tommy snatched the lantern and swung it three times.He peered  over the hill and there he saw....
