Grip leadership

PAPER=create a plan
SCISSORS=take action
ROCK=stay strong

This is one of the things they use to remember how to get in and get a job done at school and anywhere you are. The next thing we learnt was that the greatest display of leadership is when a person stands up for something. Then we watched four different movie clips and for each movie clip determined who the leader was and which stand up principle they used. We  also learnt sensible ways for leaders to stand up for them selves, looking for opportunities to lead.

L look and listen
E everyday
A ask
D decide and do

If you you do these you should become a good leader and achieve things quickly. We learnt how to develop your leadership plan.

Shelly the egg

Shelly the egg was excited and ready to go. She was a little egg. Her parents, Bob and and Yoki, had promised her that they would go to the balloon Festival. At the balloon festival a sharply carved knife popped her balloon. Tears filled her eyes and then poured out. They tried to cheer her up by letting her play a carnival game and luckily enough she won a can of hair spray.  

Skiing 2015

My goals for this year

My skiing goals for this year is to be confident skiing.

To learn how to parallel ski.

To go down from the top of the mountain and the giant.

I will hopefully be able to do all those things by the end of the ski trip

The car ride was long and slow but actually before we knew it we were driving up the mountain. Every year I always forget how long the trip is because I am always filled up with so much excitement that the time flies. The mountain sparkled and the weather was divine with not a cloud in the sky. As Mrs Fielder's car slowly chugged up the mountain I was pumped and ready to go I could not wait. As we drive up to the car park it was deserted. We where the first people there. 
Our lesson: Donna was our teacher. She was great. She played all these different games with us like the juice game when you squeeze the outside leg outwards to make your favorite juice. In the hula hoop game first pick a favorite color and it is the color of your hula hoop and as you go to turn lean belly button over side of the hula-hoop the way you want to turn. The tail game practiced turning your heel out as well as your toes so it is easier to turn and ski parallel.The sponge game practiced squeezing ankles together to make it easier to turn parallel. I ate my lunch and then Hannah and Tyler approached me."We are going to the top. Could you please come with us.""Umm sure I guess so," I said. 
Going down from the top: The feeling of leather seats behind my back felt soooo good and the footrest to put my skis on was great because on the other chair lifts they are metal which hurts your back and having your skis dangling pulls your ankles out of their sockets It was faster and it was luxury on the chair lift to the top of the mountain. I felt so professional when we hopped off. Me and Hannah had never done it before but Tyler had. So me and Hannah were worried but Tyler seemed to know where he was going. Down to the big bowl we went and it was exactly what it was named ... it was a big bowl. I got really worried but then I remembered that this is where I can use my parallel skiing and it worked. I went slow and steady down the big bowl at one point Hannah fell over which made Tyler fall over.It was so funny and since I turned around to look at them I nearly fell over too. After we skied the big bowl we came to the Giant and went down Upper Freeway and after Upper Freeway was Movenpick and after Movenpick was Parklane.

Sam the Dolphin

In my story I had to have the words Dolphin, Scream, Sausage and Irritate


I am going to tell you about a friend of mine that I saw on the street. His name was Sam and he was a Dolphin. I saw him on the way to the movies,so I asked him if he would like to come too.
He said, "I have got nothing else to do so why not." So off we went to see the fluffy duck movie. Sam had never seen a duck before and on the way in we walked past a sausage cart. Sam asked if he could have one. He said, "I have never had a sausage before."

Where am I? What am I doing?

 It was dark and misty tall skinny trees with no leaves were all over the stage. Clouds made out of giant fluff balls filled the sky. But on top of one tree was a man sitting in a bird like position. He started to wriggle and move a bit. Then from out behind him he lifted up his wings and took a big dive. The crowd was shocked. He started to flip his flags wildly like a baby chick trying to fly for the first time. He landed gracefully on the stage. And then the show began. 

"Designers were inspired by the magical and inventive world of children's imaginary friends," said the person on the loud speaker. I felt like I was in a child's dream.

about me production

My name is Brooke Pratt. I am 11 years old.

I like netball, rugby, swimming, tennis, dancing and everything else.  

The first play I was involved in was Grease. I was a Ballroom dancer and one of Pink Ladies in the Milk Bar. Ever since I have joined in all 7

of the school’s productions.

After Grease I was one of the village people in the ‘Maori myths and legends’. And mummy bear in ‘The three little wolves’. And a swany swan in ‘The Lorax’. And did ballet in ‘Apiti’s got talent’. And for our production last year, Bad jelly the witch, I was Dingle mouse. He is quite similar to Dog in Footrot Flats. I chose Dog and Dingle mouse because they are both funny, happy and cheerful and fun to act. Dog is Wallace’s best mate; although sometimes Dog gets a bit excited when it’s time to go on the farm and grabs Wal’s legs and slobbers on on them.

Wallace needs dogs help on the farm to get the mob in the holding pen to shift the mob....... the list goes on. Man and Dog in harmony.   

brooke sugar speech 2015

Pidzz ..  Hey ... Do any of you want to buy something that will.. make your heart race.. make you feel really good.. something that tastes good too.. (huge pause) .. It is however very addictive and poisonousness to your body.

But still tastes really good!!!

It’s the deadly white powder. SUGAR  

Sugar is one of the most addictive substances we have in our diet today.

I’m going  to tell you what sugar is and how your body copes with it, the serious effects sugar has on your body,

but don't be too alarmed because I’m also going to tell you about how to safely consume sugar and use other alternatives.

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate quickly being turned into glucose in your bloodstream. This makes your blood sugar levels spike up and drop down suddenly, making you want more sugar ... and so the addiction begins.

After all it’s not natural for our bodies to have sugar highs and lows.  This leads to diabetes. Did you know that in 2013, a massive 243 125 New Zealanders had diabetes.

Sugar leads to cavities in your teeth., it is such an enemy to dental health.

But too much sugar can also lead to many other health problems ... obesity, liver failure, pancreatic cancer, kidney disease, heart disease and of course ... addiction!!

Do any of you want to suffer from those diseases?

Absolutely not! So listen to me as I tell you how to be safe with sugar.

Unlike complex carbohydrates that we find in foods like carrots and apples, processed sugar is a simple carbohydrate. Foods that are complex carbohydrates also release the sugar more slowly and consistently into your body and hence a more natural process for your body to handle. So get your natural sugar from fresh foods They are better for us and they are still really sweet tasting.

BUT you may NOT know when you read a label how much sugar it really has!

Did you know food manufacturers are very clever at changing the name of sugar on their labelling some are ...

, treacle, fructose,glucose,sucrose,lactose,corn syrup.

These are all just .... sugar.

Take a look at the label on your food I bet you there’s sugar in it! And how much?

Did you know that only 6 teaspoons of sugar is the recommended daily intake ... I bet many of us have more than that. Do you really know how much sugar you have each day?

For example ...a can of coke.  considers This contains 10 teaspoons of sugar ... nearly double the recommended intake!. Wouldn’t it be better to squeeze a couple of oranges

Be aware ... Sugar is everywhere. What are you going to choose to eat today?

Carrots, apples and tomatoes or that deadly white refined poisonous powder ... SUGAR
