Hello and welcome to this update of my wikispace page. In the long weekend I went to Sentosa island and when we were biking back from the end of the track we saw a machine gun pillbox. So we stopped to take a photo, we also took a photo of the info. sign!



The line in the bottom quarter of the pillbox is for the machine guns to poke out. They were looking for Japanese invaders.

My holidays part lll We went to a spectacular movie release called Ice Age 4!!! My fav. part is is when Sid says "come on ocean is that the best you can do?" Then the iceberg they were on did a full loop and a MASSIVE, GINORMOUS crab was on their ship then Sid said "holey crab!!!!!!!!!!!!'. We watched it at Great World City's Golden Village. We also went to a new library that we have not been to before. The library is ginormous and has an AWESOME kid's section! I just got Asterix and Obelix and Tintin books.

What I would like to do in the last 2 days of the holidays: Watch the rugby marathon (a few rugby games in a row). Go on the luge (Race my little brother and Dad and Mum). Go to the Sentosa Aquarium (with my whole family).

Here is my conclusion to a SPECTACULAR holiday: I feel great about going back to school, ( it would be preposterous if I couldn't go back). I will try to keep you posted up about what's going on. So good-bye for 2 days.

My holidays part Il 3 days after I came home Granny and Aunty Nicky came over. One of the things we did was the Singapore Flyer. We went on that with some friends of ours called Deb and Allen. The sight from the top of the Singapore Flyer was amazing, you could see the new gardens by the bay there!! The Singapore Flyer looks like it takes hours to go all the way around but it only takes half an hour!!! We also went to Raffles hotel to see what it is like, the place probably cost $15,000 a night!! I think it had like 50 rooms. We didn't go there. We also went on the bumboat cruise tour around the heart of Singapore!!! (for me the 5th time).

A week after Granny and Aunty Nicky left, my family went to Lau Pau Sat have satays. They apparantly were the best satays! We had the 30 satay meal. Mum ate 5, Dad and Remy ate 12 and I ate about 13!! The flavours were chicken, mutton and beef.

Hello I am going to tell you about my holidays.

First of all Dad, a friend of his and I were going to climb Mt. Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in South-East-Asia!!! When we arrived there we went to stay at the Hyatt in KK, first of all I thought it was going to be one of those dunga ones but Dad said it is a pretty priceless hotel and guess what he was... RIGHT!!!. I slept like log until Dad woke me up at 6:25 in the morning. Once we got ready we got a lift to base camp (like dad and his mate call it). Once we got to the first hut hut I thought we were going to blow it but once we climbed up into the clouds we could see the place where we were going to sleep. After that we climbed to the top, had a lot of lollies and went all the way back down.

When we got back to a new hotel called the Shangrila Tangjungaru Mum and Remy were already there playing in the pool. I thought I saw Remy but he was another kid and ran away before I could say "hi" but then I saw the real Remy. He was walking around with Mum. I found them and brought them to reception but only Dad's friend Douggie was there. He said Dad went up to the room so we went to the room and found him there. The hotel had a water wars place just a few metres away from the water slides. You get 20 balloons for each room every day!! The slides were AMAZING, my favourite is all of them. The blue one is medium speed and long duration and twisty. The purple one is high speed, duration 2 secs and the green one is like the blue but there is a roof!!!

Next we were going the the Rasa ria version of the hotel. There were oranguatangs and a MASSIVE SLIDE. After we did all those things we hired 2 kayaks and Mum's hit her in the head when it capsized!!!

When we got back I got my own I Pod touch!!!! Good-bye for now...

14/6/12 Today Eleanor got the gruffalo [if you don't know about him he is on the main page!]
On Saturday I am going to go to Singapore Cricket club to play some rugby friendly matches. Even though the site's main purpose is to play cricket the site has a rugby pitch with proper grass so we don't have to play touch rugby or ripper rugby. I will tell you all about it on Saturday. OK now to tell you about school. I am in the living time-line people group!!! We did a rehearsal today, it was so much fun, the 6 people in my group are... whoops I also need to tell you that if you click on the name of people you go on their pages which are pretty spectacular!!!Lucy, Harry, Lara, Oliver, Claire

Here is a little bit about what I learnt this term Fav. subject: PE What I learnt in science is: Weathering and erosion, how weathering breaks sediments down and erosion carries it away, that's one way how to explain it. What I learnt in history is: The first fleet, how and why convicts came to Australia. French: I like French a LOT when it ends I wish it could go on forever!!! MY ECA is fun with maths!!! (it makes math FUN) My favourite thing in maths is: MATHLETICS, if you don't know about it just scroll down to the last update!!! Thank you for reading this update everyone and please leave a comment!

I just finished ALL my homework, I feel great about finishing my homework early so that means I can do mathletics, If you don't have the link here it is:

 * I think everyone should do mathletics, tell your teacher if your teacher doesn't know about the site. **

Hello, Here are my simile sentences.

December was freezing cold like the biggest star in the universe was never there.

The person had a mansion that was as big as an elephant that had eaten too many fruit pies and way too many Hershey's chocolate kisses.

There was a gigantic kaboom that sounded like a gunshot only louder like a smash between 5 cars in an intersection on the road. The splash that Hulk made, made me as wet as I am when I come out of a shower.

Here are my metaphors, metaphors are sentences like similes but are not using **like** or **as**

You eat messily, you are a pig. That boy ran so fast, he is a cheetah. I am not thirsty at all. I am a camel. I can climb trees very well, I am a monkey. That person sang so beautifully, she is a nightingale.

Here is my crazy clay avatar I made from clay yourself:



Saturday 5 May 2012 Today Mum, Remy and I went to look for some rugby boots for me. We were going to the adidas shop at Novena sports shopping mall, but there was a sale on and Mum checked to see if it was crowded in there and "boy' Mum said 'you couldn't move in the shop'. So we went to the world of sports and got these boots: * They had a 30% off sale so we nearly brought them without hesitation. They are quite comfy actually. They are much bigger than my old rugby boots. In my old rugby boots my feet were cramped and it felt like my boots leather was going to explode all over the rugby pitch. In my new boots I feel like my feet are never going to get cramped.

Tuesday 1 May Labour Day Today is a holiday even though it is only the very start of the week!!! I had a BBQ breakfast with my family, I had mini french toast, bacon, egg and one caramalized banana!!! After that I went to MT. Faber. Mum dropped Dad and I off at the start of the half hill half mountain. So Dad and I walked up the hill and went exploring the hidden staircase that led to a dead end so Dad and I squeezed through a gap that led to the main road to go up the hill, when we got there we met Mum and Remy, we went around the faber loop. Then up the henderson waves then back to the car and went home.

Wednesday 25 April ANZAC day Here is one of my favourite poems. (Margaret Mahy is a New Zealander). Another one of her poems is the Tin Can Band.

The Fairy Child - By Margaret Mahy The very hour that I was born, I rode upon a unicorn. When boys put tadpoles in their jars, I overflowed my tin with stars! Because I sing to the sun, the little children point and run. Because I set the caged birds free, people close their doors to me. Goodbye, goodbye, you world of men. I shall not visit you again.

Holidays

It all started from when I got home from major homesickness camp at Sea Gypsy which wasn’t that bad at all. I had to get ready for our night flight six hours straight after I got home!!! We flew on silk air, the junior Singapore airlines. For dinner I received an egg sandwich, but I do not like egg sandwiches that much. I dozed off after that.

When I awoke the plane was about to land. I asked what the time was mum said it was 8:30. we had to get of the plane 5 minets later we got on the taxi bringing us to the westin to be continued......

Here is an acrostic poem I made on the word strict, I hope you like it!!! __ S uper hard to get used to!!__ __ T ricky to not have a little growl__ __ R estricted to obey commands__ __ I llusions of the clock at home time__ __ C urious people sometimes test nerves__ __ T eachers have the most population of strict people__. e3C/p>

Here is my aut/biography (a story of your life).
== One of my favourite childhood memories is waiting for my Dad to come home from work. So we can build my treehouse, when he finally got home I had already got ALL the tools from Granny's garage. And I was already hacking down trees with a pick axe or a hoe, I co5ld not tell the difference when I was five years old so I used the hoe and the pick axe on different trees. But I do remember getting the bark off with the hoe though. So far my life is great, now that I feel comfy, please read on to find out more. ==

== I am a New Zealand citizen by descent and always will be. My first preschool was called ' Small Steps'. I was a really nutty fellow then because I played tag with ants and occasionally got the forbidden n. spot (naughty spot). When we ( Mum, Dad and I) arrived at the Polynesian country we used to live in a small two bedroom cottage where I lived for 2 years then we moved to a half MANSION. ==

== In my life I have named two vehicles. The first one is a boat. I named it the Dogey Roger. I was too young to pronounce jolly rodger!! The second vehicle is called Strawberry, which was a rusty red tractor to tow the boat. I liked to go fishing on the Dogey Rodger. ==

==Today we made up a play with our clock buddies. My 9 o'clock clock buddy is Claire, we got teamed up with another group of clock buddies: Sami and Lara. I liked the play because the theme was life on a ship!!! We learnt about how teamwork can make some marvellous things sometimes. ==
