The Rotorua Sling-Shot Swing

Rotorua Swing from Kieren Moriarty on Vimeo.



These holidays my family and I went up to Rotorua to see my Great Grandad and to have a birthday lunch to celebrate his 92nd birthday at Valentines. After the lunch my cuzzie and I decided to do the Sling Shot Swing at the top of the Gondala. So we ended up paying for the ride to the top of the hill and did the ultimate Sling Shot Swing. It was really cool and fun at the same time, not to forget scary and cold:) This was a really cool experience. This was made on Movie-Maker.
I put a lot of courage into doing this Sling-Shot Swing. Once again, it was very scary and fun. You should try it when you next go to Rotorua and go up the Gondala. I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY VIDEO:)

Mr. Leaf

The Leaf

The veins spread 
the leaf like it has
a disease

The spikes are

just like a monster trying

to hurt someone

The greenness is

getting tinted a yellowy brown

colour as Autumn has sent its

invite to stay for a while  

The leaves are the

puppets and the wind

is the controller

This is my leaf in a bush, I thought that it would have been a good idea to do it in a bush because it has green for the background and the leaf used to be green until Autumn sent its invite and they changed colour. 

This is the tree where my leaf came from.

This is my leaf poem on a big piece of paper and it was died yellow and red [ the Autumn colours ]

My Rocket, level 6a

                             

• This rocket shows me what I have learnt and still working on.
• I feel proud of myself because I have improved heaps since end of year 3. 
• Something I was pleased with was that I know all my times tables now, yet I used to know my 5, 2, 1 and 10 times in year 3.
• Something I found hard was having to learn how to order numbers to 1 million,but I got there.
• I am going to start by practising my 6 division cause it will not take me long then I will move onto my reading numbers to 1 million.
