I was really embarrassed.

My rugby jersey is not really a real one. It is only fake.

My RWC 2011 T-shirt

When it was my birthday I got a rugby world cup T-shirt and I brought it to school the next day for news.

Harry Potter.

On Friday the 23rd of September, I am watching Harry Potter and the half blood prince . I can't wait to watch it. It's the one after the Deathly hallows part one. I asked my dad if he can find Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, that's number two. Molly said it is really scary. After Harry Potter and the half blood prince, it's the Deathly hallows part two. I watched it at Molly's house. Harry Potter's nose was bleeding on the train. Me and Molly don't watch Harry Potter that much. We played another game but I forgot what it is called. It was so fun. We played Harry Potter all day. On the way to my house we got an ice block and we went to the park. I was Harry Potter and Hermoinie and Molly was Ron Wesley and Malfoy.

About the litter walk

On Friday 26th August 2011 Mamaku School went on a litter walk.
We went down Mamaku Street and a few others. I was... DISGUSTED. I saw over 1,000 pieces of rubbish. It was yuck. Sara and Leslie had kindly volunteered to help us. I saw... lolly wrappers, cardboard boxes, beer boxes, beer bottles and glass and lots of other things. We were a littile bit worried about dogs but... Leslie manned up and went in the front of the line with lots of bottles and a big long stick. I saw a dog with 3 legs. It was barking at the class. I felt kind of sorry for it because it looked kind of cute. I felt grateful for picking up all of that rubbish. But I wasn't happy at all those people that do litter. I was ashamed of how much rubbish I saw on the trailer. It was fun but kind of a waste of learning. When we were walking back to school my hands were sweating. It looked like someone had gone and deliberately tipped water in my glove. When I took off my glove my hand had powder on it. It was weird.

Hunting at South Rd

Last Sunday when I went to South Rd I saw possums in possum traps. My dad's friend got his axe out and chopped their heads off. We lost my dad and then we found him. We looked everywhere. It was fun. We chopped firewood with my dad's chainsaw. We got half of the firewood, we had half of the diesel. It was funny when we killed the possums. My dad's friend's names are Peter and Brent. Brent killed the possums. It looked like there was no blood. I went in my dad's friend's car, Brent. My dad almost got stuck because he had a muddy car. My dad's friend Peter was in my dad's car. I think I might go there next week to get more firewood or get those possums. We got a key for a gate. Last Sunday my dad's car was dirty because of the mud. We took my dad's trailer. My dad's friend's car was not as dirty as my dad's car. It was raining. That's why it was muddy and my dad almost got stuck. I asked my dad's friend to chop the possum's tail off. We saw a dead one and my dad's friend kicked it. It was funny when my dad's friend kicked the possum. He was going to get his axe out because it looked like it was not dead and I said that to my dad. My sister threw some chips out the window. I cracked up laughing because she kept on throwing them out the window, it was funny. When we had my dad's chainsaw we brought our axe so we don't waste our diesel. There was white stuff on the tree and the chain looked like it was a mouse trap, but it was not a mouse trap. My sister Kate threw the chips out the window!!!! It was cool when my sister threw the chips out the window in South Rd. My dad was not happy when we got dirt in the car because the mud was in our car. We saw heaps of hawks in the sky. It was freaky because I thought it was going to go on my dad's car but it did not come on my dad's car because it was hunting, I think. We saw diggers and some skidders as well. When we got there I thought we were going to get stuck. I think I only saw one hawk. On Saturday we went to chop some firewood at South Rd. I was not allowed to chop firewood, but I ate the chips in my dad's car, but I did not eat all the chips in my dad's car. It was funny when my brother Regan and his friend Cameron went to chop firewood. I ate the chips but they got some too. But my sisters played over next door and my brother Regan went and his friend Cameron. I sat in my dad's car, but I was not dirty, but my brother was and his friend. It sadly rained so we went home and when we got home I played on the computer.

All the facts room four know about the RWC 2011

Room four know lots and lots about the rugby world cup. We know that the Namibia team is called the Welwitschias and the NZ team is called the All Blacks. They are cool. I like them because they play for NZ. The Wallabies are my next favourite team because I like them. By Jordan

Fishing

When it was Sunday my dad, my mum, my uncle and my brother went fishing on a boat at 6 o`clock. Here is the start. At 3.30 the alarm went off with a loud noise!!!!! They woke up with a yawn. My sister got moved from downstairs to up. They went in my mum`s car, the engine roared!!!!!! They had to wait for two hours for the boat to show up!!!! Just then he showed up and he took them to his secret spot. They caught 55 fish. On the way home my brother went to sleep. My mum brought a coke for everyone but my little brother. Instead he got a juice.

By Zack

RWC 2011

I like Namibia. I hope the All Blacks win in the rugby world cup. Richie McCaw is muscle and Dan Carter is a good tackler. Sonny Bills Williams is a good kicker. They have to train every day to get big muscles. They have to do the haka. I hope the All Blacks win. In their first game against Tonga they had fireworks. The All Blacks won the first rugby world cup in1987. I had some food.

By Carlos

The opening ceremony of the RWC

My favourite part was the hammerhead shark. The fireworks were really
cool. The horns were really, really loud and really big. There was a kid on
the field and it was awesome because one of the teams came out and he was
trying to get a goal and he got lifted up into the air.

Rugby world cup 2011

The RWC is here!!! There are 48 games, 40 pool matches and 8 knock out matches. First was Tonga vs ALL BLACKS, All Blacks won!!! WOW! I have learnt in room 4 that the cup is called... WILLIAM WEBB Ellis. It was named after a school boy in England, he was playing soccer, he ran to the ball, he picked up the ball and ran with it and that is how rugby was born.
By Molly

Rugby world cup

NZ vs Tonga, the All Blacks won. It was a great game. Tonga played good, but we played better. We wasted them. We really showed them that we are the masters of rugby! We will be talking about that opening ceremony for a long, long time. It was stupendous. The rugby game was the best part because New Zealand won. It was my favourite world cup game ever. It is not good that England has copied New Zealand's colours which are black and white.
By Nikora

Rugby world cup

New Zealand vs Tonga. New Zealand scored the first goal. When they scored I cheered really loud but I was only at home watching on T.V. There were a lot of people cheering when New Zealand or Tonga scored. Tonga finally got a goal after a while. The All Blacks were wearing black and white shirts. They played on the rugby field in Auckland. You play rugby with a ball.
By Tiffinee

Rugby world cup

At the opening ceremony there were fireworks, dances and a giant metal cup. It was gold. It looked exactly like the real rugby world cup. I only watched the first half of Tonga vs New Zealand and from what I saw the All Blacks were winning. Then the next day I found out that the All Blacks won. Yah, go All Blacks!!!!.
By Brett

The first RWC game

The first RWC game was All Blacks vs Tonga. The All Blacks won. They had fireworks. You do not have to buy tickets. You could just watch it on tv. It was huge. It was cool. I think heaps of people came. It was in Auckland at Eden Park. There are 40 pool matches and 8 finals. William Webb Ellis was at a school called Rugby and he picked up a scoccer ball. The first rugby world cup was in 1987. All Blacks vs Tonga, the All Blacks scored 41 and Tonga scored 10. It was cool when there was fireworks. The colours were yellow, red, green and blue. There were a lot of people there. It was cool in the first half but it was not cool in the second half. There is one on every night and day I think. I saw Dan Carter and Richie McCaw. I liked both team's haka, in the first game I saw Tonga's haka. It was awesome!!!!!! Tonga's guy had a little fight with one Tongan and one All Black.

The rugby world cup

I did not like the rugby on tv, but now I do. On Friday I was watching ALICE in Wonderland, but dad said, "COME AND WATCH THE RUGBY". I did not want to watch the rugby, but it was good. I like the rugby now.
From Mitchell

RWC 2011

Room 4 has heaps of RWC facts and flags. There is 32 rugby facts. In the notice the fact I said was the first game of rugby was in 1987 and the All Blacks won. Yeah, go the All Blacks. It is every 4 years. My name is Jourdyn. The writer of this story. I absolutely love rugby. My favourite players are Daniel Carter and Richie McCaw. Richie McCaw is the captain. Joe Rockacoco, CORY JANE, Tony Woodcock, Sonnybill Williams, Hosea Gear and Liam Messam are some rugby players.

Rugby world cup

The rugby world cup is soon. There has been two games now, go NZ. I watched the two games. If you play rugby you are having a great time and you get sweaty. When you have a break you get something to eat, I don't know. My favourite player is Richy. Richy has a lovely hauora, he is the captain. I think that he is the leader. I got told that he is one of those. Richy is an awesome guy and he enjoys rugby. I wish that I could meet Richy but I don't know where he lives.

The baby girl or boy.

My aunty who is called Paula is trying to have a baby. She lives in Australia. She rang the Hickeys and my dad said WOW, then mum said WOW. Then dad told me. Then I said Whoa, that's cool. I have told my two friends Rachel and Tiffinee. I wish that it is a girl like me. I wish it's name is WILLOW like me if it is a girl. That is INCREDIBLE. I am so happy. I wish it is born like me with black hair. If it is a boy well I don't know what to call it. I can't wait. I can't keep still. If it is a girl, it is great, fantastic, fabulous, brilliant, marvellous and spectacular.

My weekend

In the weekend dad and I played paintball. It was funny because I had to hunt down my dad. When I got home, my mum made ANZAC biscuits, half coated in chocolate. Then I played PS3. The game was Mercenaries 2 world in flames. You can blow up cars and you can get tanks. Helicopters are better because you get air missiles. There is an army called P.L.A.V. and one called U.P. The characters are called Nilson ,Chris Jacobs and Mui. I always steal cars. I am the master of hijacking helicopters and tanks. There is a car called the hedeghog. It is funny. I like the sports cars and motorbikes. I like P.L.A.V because they have MARVELLOUS cammo. U.P. are dumb because
when they go through the bush they will get seen. I have one more game to share. It is called infamous 2. It is meanage. It is about a man called Cole. He has electrical powers and he can fly. There is a monster called the beast. I killed the beast. It was hard. There are militia and swamp monsters too. They scared Harri out of his pants. It was funny. You can grind on power lines and other electrical stuff. There is something called the RFI at the end of the game. You save all the people.

Litter walk

When it was the 26th of August Mamaku School did a litter walk around Mamaku. Room 4 went past the new train station. It was made of logs. I found two dollars and fifty cents. I thought it was my lucky day. Leslie made a nice front leader and Sara made a nice back leader. Mrs Clark told some of room 4 to go over the road so they can pick up that rubbish. Some people were away.
