Ilminster play
Finaly we had arrived at Ilmenster to see their green gold play. When we were seated they started the play . One of the acters came and explained the mesage of the play, it was that if you drop rubish you should pick it up and encourage others to do so.
First nanny koura walked into the seen. Then her two babby koura. They sat down on the floor and nanny koura started a story. It was about when she was young and she lived by a city and there was rubbish everywhere and most of it came from the skate park up the river. One day she decided to go and talk to the skaters and told them to pick up there rubish but they wouldn't listen.
After that some aleins from outer space came to find a new place to dump there rubish. They found a concrete skate bowl that some kids had droped there rubish in and sent a mesage to there king to tell him they had found a suttable place to put there rubish. Then he arrived and started to dump some of there rubbish in the skate bowl, then they left when they left they dumped one if there robots in the skate bowl too. when the skaters returnd they saw the bowl full of rubish and thought they had to do something. So they went to nanny Koura to see if she could help. So nanny koura came and talked to the robots nd aleins and made them pick up their rubish.
After that I decided that I would pick up rubish and name and shame anyone ho doped rubish.

Murder Mystery SPaG
I had come back from the feild and was prepairing for murder mystry SPaG, this is one of my favorite workshops. when everyone was sitting down they didn't stop talking in the end koka Pip made us line up outside.
I was frustrated but she was the teacher. when we started we were told that we were to do proverbs.In our group we opened our envelope and cut out little squares with incomplete sentinces on each edge. in my group there was Harry M, Olly and Bramm. Our job was to complete the sentinces to find the clue to see who was the murderer
We were the second group to crack the code so we got to go to brain break three minutes early. I could not wait to go to the next SPaG and I do not think the others could wait eather.

Hamunatua stream walk
We were there and we were just starting to cross the stream for the first time. it was hard to belive that this small little stream was te big rivermouth that opened onto the beach of wainui beach. I was wearing gumboots so I just waddled through the water to the other side to wait and watch the other people with shoes on trying to jump across with no sucsess they were throwing there bags across and one girl threw their bag into the water and someone reached in and grabed it just in time to stop it floating down the river some people weere wadding across even though they were wearing shoes. once everyone had come across we startred walking.
A few hills later we stoped for a quick brain break I sat by the river with Bramm, Olly, jaxon, Arthur and some other people. After that we walked for another 30 min later we came to a paddock with a few mother cows only one of them didn't have a calf and she was as pregnant as a cow could get as we walked past a group of bushs we all notised a dead calf lying on the grass then its ear twiched and we realized it was sleeping. Its tail was swishing around on the grass as well. we crept past it and the other cows and calfs mooed happily as we closed the gate behind us.
We continued to walk and walk and walk and slowly everyone started to get tired. then we saw it the end of the hamanatua stream it seamed to just melt into the ground like a ice cream. We stoped on the top of a hill to have lunch and admire the veiw it was amazing on one side of the valley there were more pregnant cows and a few little newborne calfs and on the other side there was a pond with a few ducklings and their mother. Then before we knew it we were on the way home. Past the calfs through the purere trees across the stream and all the way back to school. I couldent wait to go for another walk.

Coolest Of Math Groups!
It was math and I was rushing down to the mat at tahi. I always look forward to L3+ math. This time it was long multiplication. koka Ngairy started to write some questions on the board. This is what the questions where,
1.) 1.36 times 3
2.) 2.55 times 6
3.) 3.74 times 8
And those were the questions. after everyone had answered the questions koka Ngairy started to write the answers and suddenly I noticed that they where not decimal points it was the number of the question! I told koka Ngairy and it turns out that Harry and Nathan had made the same mistake. So I waited till they had finished editing the others math than tided up and left.

Professional SPaG
It was spag and I was rummaging around in the book box till I found my everything book so I could go to spag. When we were all on the mat we were told to get into groups of four, I went with Olly , Bramm and Harry. Our ropu was given an envelope. Inside there was a few pieces of paper and they were all different colors.
Koka Pip told us that we were to use the light green colored pieces of paper an on each of them there were little triangles with words on each side. We cut out the triangles and were told to mach the words so that the word with the opposite meaning was next to it.
We had made one small one and thought that we were done but than Koka Pip said we had to make them all into one shape so we did and It ended up saying,"the killer did not play an instrument that you blow into!" I thought this through and realised that it meant it marked of a hole lot of suspects.
