THE BEST CAMP EVER!!!!!


I knew that I was going to have a good time and had all the activities as my favorite things except for swimming people kept on drowning me when I went under the water to look for rocks or just went under water to see who could stay under the water for the longest. It was so cool with my friends in the water because I knew that I could trust my friends, but when they got out people started to drowned me again. I loved to kayak with my friends in the two seated kayak because I could sit with my best and do the thing I loved at the same time.

When it was time for kayaking I was the first one in the kayak and started paddling everywhere. When I was in my kayak I was the best out there until Matthew came and took my place, I was a little angry because I didn’t get the reward Matthew did. It didn’t matter I was still happy that I had a good time and on the last day I went to Swimarama and the best thing happened we got to meet the warriors in person I wish that they would come again. THANKS HELPERS, TEACHERS, AND MR BURT FOR HELPING ME AND THE OTHER KIDS HAVE A GOOD TIME!!!!

Meeting with DR BEN CARSON


DONE WITH TEC,
RUNNING BACK TO SCHOOL,

BUS TO MANUKAU,
ENJOYED THE BUS RIDE,
NOW HOPPING OUT OF THE BUS,

COMING INSIDE THE TELSTRA CLEAR STADIUM,
A MAN CALLED HENRY TELLS JOKES ON STAGE,
READY OR NOT HERE COMES DR BEN CARSON,
SOON HOPPING ON THE BUS,
ON THE BUS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL,
NOW WE KNOW THAT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOUR COOL YOU WILL STILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

Dr. Ben Carson is the best brain surgeon in the world. On Tuesday the Year 5 - 8 students were lucky enough to go and hear him speak. I really enjoyed hearing him talk about his life because he has done lots of amazing things.

When Ben Carson was a boy he was really dumb and he watched to much T.V he told us he could tell anybody what was on and at what time! One day his Mother came home and turned off the T.V “You are only allowed to watch 2 or 3 programs a week,” she told him, “and you must learn your times tables and read lots of books”. After a while Ben Carson began to enjoy reading books and in the space of 1 and a half years he went from the bottom of the class to the top!

But Ben Carson still had big dreams. He wanted to be a neuro surgeon. “You can’t do that,” people would tell him. “There has only been 6 black neuron surgeons in the history of the world!” Ben Carson ignored them and kept on working hard and he soon went to university, at Yale!

When he finished university he became a neuron surgeon like he had planned. But that was not the end of his success, oh no! Dr. Ben Carson was the first doctor to separate con-joined twins without killing one of them. I was really inspired and I really admire him for keeping on working hard even when people told him he couldn’t do it.
