On the thrid of November rooms 1 and 4 went to Lake whakamaru camp together. There were lots of fun activities like bmx, flying fox, rock climbing,kayaks and dingies. My faviourite activity was the burma trail,the caves that we had to climb through were fun and scary.Saige got so scared he didn't want to finish it so Tara and I had to force him to keep going.The first activity my group did was kayaks I kept bumping into other people,when we were standing in the kayaks and trying to race each other I slipped and fell in it was so cold!!!But over all the best things about camp were the bumpy go carts and the awesome flying fox!!!!

Today we went to the exciting Fontera science road show this is where you learn about science and movement.Three things i found interesting would be the Up hill roller,Speed tester and the Magnet arount a wire.Two things i didn't know that I learnt today was that if you spin a glass of water it wont spill also that if your using a compass near electricity it wont work properly.One thing I want to find out more about is magnitisim and how it works.

My name is Debra and I am in year six. My faviourite thing about year six is going out for P.E with my awesome class because our kool teacher is allways teaching us new games like tellyhoe.One thing I find difficult is my personal writing - I cant figure out what to write about! Over all the reason why I like year six is the year six camp that we go on next term!

Butch the school bully who was on his usual morning walks looking for losers to beat up. Ray accidently spilt his soda all over Butch. Katie and Kelly stood and watched in fear. They could almost see grey smoke coming out of his ears. Butch shot them a nasty but mean look. Poor Ray was shaking with fear.
“I I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to “stumbled Ray.
Butch looked down at him with his dark coal black eyes and said.
“You’ll pay for that loser.”
“Pl please don’t hurt me “pleaded Ray.
But Butch payed no attention to Rays pleading.
“Watch your back, grunted Butch walking off.
They all watched butch walk off disappearing out of sight turning around the corner. Then suddenly Katie and Kelly shot over to Ray as if they had been struck in the bum with lightning.
”Are you ok?’’asked Katie as if she had been brainwashed and didn’t even remember what had just happened. Ray didn’t reply, he just stood there watching the birds fluttering around in the park. The next day Ray never returned to school and the next weeks, months, and years went by. Many rumors went around that Butch chopped out his guts and feed them to his dog but no-one will ever know what happened to Ray except for…

Definition
A tiger is a large cat that lives in jungles or rainforests. They hunt for their food and can eat up to 45kilograms in one go.
Habitat
Tigers live in Rainforests, jungles and the wild but are having to live in swamps, reeds, caves and even old buildings because their land is being destroyed so people can build cities on it.
Description
Tigers are the biggest cats in the world the largest of the males can grow up to 4 meters long and can weigh up to 300kilograms! Tigers are an orange kind of colour and usually have black stripes.
Behaviour
Tigers are very good swimmers even though they are cats they swim the dog paddle. When they hunt thy not only chase their prey they also stalk it using their natural camouflage to hide in the tall grass.
Feeding
A tiger will kill its food by breaking its neck which usually kills it but if it doesn’t the tiger will bite its neck leaving it to suffocate and die. Tigers eat mostly meat and will leap on its food when it is close enough after stalking and chasing it.
Conclusion
Tigers are beautiful large cats that are becoming extinct. There are only 6000 left in the world due to poaching they are poached for their bones which are used in tribal medicines and their eyes which are sold as good luck charms. And are losing land. Please stop taking their land and help stop poaching or else tigers will go extinct!
