Day Dreaming
Mr Marquand thinks I’m reading but actually…
I’m eating a never ending bar of chocolate,
I’m shopping in France for expensive horse gear,
I’m swimming in a pool of $100 dollar notes.
Mr Marquand thinks I’m writing but actually… I’m saving the horses from war and replacing them with rhinoceros, I’m doing a round of show jumping in the main arena at Horse of the year, I’m scuba diving in the clear waters of Fiji.
Mr Marquand thinks I’m listening but actually… I’m climbing a mountain of chocolate and eating the flake snow, I’m making a periodic table for chocolate, I’m galloping along the black sand beach in Raglan. What an awesome day at school I’ve had, I can’t wait to come back tomorrow.

Te Maunga Shire
Enterprize on PhotoPeach
On Friday the 13th our school hosed a financial market day to support the students learning. The students really enjoyed the whole day and they got to spend their gongs that they had earned. There was a variety of products, foods, games and competitions that people created. The parents came and exchanged money to spend on the products. The exchange was 50 cents to 1 gong. The maximum that they could exchange was $15.00 (30 gongs).
Some of the students were selected by the bank manager (Me) to work bank in the. The students ran the bank on the day and were rostered on and off so they could do some shopping. We made 750 dollars to put towards school events. Over all it was a great experience for all of the student and I hope they all got to buy something. I brought lots of things and had a really good time.

The Paino That Gave Happiness
I was walking helplessly through the forest quietly, after running from guns of the Germans. I just kept running and dodging every tree that got in my way. I was too exhausted to carry on and decided to walk for a while. Surprisingly I ended up were the war had begun.
‘The bombing of the old church’.
I saw in the middle of the rubble a piano that had been the only thing that was left standing. I seemed to be saying to me ‘come over and play me, I will make you feel safe and happy’. So I did. I walked over to it and not knowing what to do I just started playing and yes it did make me feel safe and happy. But when I was playing I forgot that I was in the war and a German soldier had crept up on me. He shouted at me in a gruff voice, “You look like your happy and not home sick,” and before I knew it he had dropped his gun and came over to me and said to me this time in a soft voice, “Do you mind if I join you?” He sounded as sad as I was before I started playing the piano.
What was I meant to say to him ‘no’? I didn’t say no, I said, “Sure come and join us.” He looked at me with a funny face and said, “What do you mean us?” “The piano has made me happy and we are now connected, I know that the whole world can probably hear me but I am so happy and I don’t care now if I get kill.” But really in my heart I didn’t want to die, I just wanted to go home to my wife and kids. And with that he walked over to me and together we played the piano on and on and on. Until we stopped and he said, “Thank you for giving me this happiness,” at first I thought he was talking to me but when I saw him glaring at the piano with a tear rolling down his cheek, I knew he was thanking not me but the piano.

Snow Trip
On friday room 7 went to Mt Ruapahu on a snow trip. We all met at school at 6:00am and set of for our long journey. We had a few toilet stop along the way, but made it to the Whakapapa side of Mt Ruapahu.
At 9:00am we got all of our equipment and started to totter down happy valley. At 11:00am our lesson started. Becausse I already new how to ski I found the lesson a bit borring. At the start of the day I was a little bit nervous, but the nerves pushed of after half a hour of skiing.
After my lesson I was conferdent and was sawing down happy valley. We then stopped and had lunch. My dad and my sister had come down with us, we had gone really we before lunch so we decided to go to the upper mountain.
Unfortnaty I didn't have a very good start. the first time I went down I fell over 3 times and one of them was a tolal wipeout. I gragely got better untill I w as going down with no falls. It was getting late so we had to go back down to happy valley. I went up and down happy valley a few times before all of the lifts closed. On the way home we had Mc Donalds for diner. After we had eaten dinner we got in the cars and drove home and I fell asleep. A tip I have for people who are l earning to ski would be to not give up and and wear lots of sun screan.
