Peters blog

On the 3/11/06 I packed my bags tied my line and added a float to my rod and put it all in the car with dad and Ryan’s stuff. We hoped in the car as we waved goodbye to mum and Brodie. We drove for half an hour when we stoped at a KFC to get a snack. We drove for hours and hours until we finally got to our new cabin were we unpacked our bags and put a hook on my line. Next we went fishing and caught a fair sized mullet. So we kept him but the rest of the fish we caught were barely an inch long so we did keep him the next day I caught a half a metre long fish so we kept him to. We also caught 16 other fish which we kept to. We went fishing at night with a float later and we caught 3 mullet and six salmon eventually we didn’t catch any more fish so we went home. The next day we packed our bags and left. When we got home I had a big rink and went to bed.

On the 15/8/06 Peter and I had some hot herbs and they were spicy. sometime people from our grade and sometimes from others we get to take home some vegies for our family’s.

At Bellaire Primary School they just to pick things from the new Veggie Garden and yesterday the Fifteenth of August two people in Middle P, Taiha and Josh S got a bag full of leaves from the Veggie Garden. One of the leaves was really spicy and Peter put the whole thing in his mouth. Taiha’s mother forgot to put them in dinner that night. Taiha might eat them tonight. Josh S ate his after school. Josh made a salad sandwich. He liked it very much.

On the Monday the 6^th we went on a Geelong excursion around Geelong but one bad thing happened in Eastern Beach.

When we were walking on the pier when a boy called Byron had an accident. One of the iTalks it slipped out of his hands and over the pier and it went in the water.

Bike Ed is in it’s 5^th week and it has taught the kids at Bellaire lots off skills about crossing roads safely and lots more. Everybody brings their bike to school and gives it a ride around for a while. Last Bike Ed we gave them a ride around the school and went down a big hill. I wish I could have gone faster (the girl in front off me wasn’t going fast enough).

Middle P Stories is a website that allows you to listen and see all Middle P’s latest stories. Of course though there are the downsides if you do not have Broadband you need to use the small version, (this is because it is smaller and won’t take up so much of your valuable timewaiting on the computer). The link to it is on the bottom of a section on the right hand side of this blog with a heading Blogroll! Hope you have a good listening to all the stories see ya!

A group of middles goes to camp and build’s hut’s to see what their score was when their huts are tested in different conditions such as Earthquakes and Storms.Group five arrived at the hut building on 21^st August to find a whole forest of trees and sticks. The activity was hut building so they got to work. There was a big creek with no water in it so it was the perfect place to build a hidden hut.

Most huts built in the creek didn’t get a very good score but the builders got to be lazy because they didn’t have to build walls.

Some groups had tyres, others had twigs but all of the students worked the hardest they ever worked to build a waterproof/earthquake proof hut.

Each had an hour to make a hut that had to hold the whole group. After an hour had slowly gone by it was announced that it was time for testing.

“They poured 4 litres on my hut.” Said Nick a pro hut builder who won the competition for hut building in his group. The first hut was rated nine out of ten, the next was rated nine out of ten too.

The next hut was a disaster with the rain test. The students in it were pretty wet but the hut was pretty earthquake proof so in the end they got rated eight and a half out of ten.

The next was disgraceful and they got soaked! But they were strongest in the group. When an earthquake appeared they were all prepared with no collapsing wood in sight.

“I felt cold and wet.” said David R one of the kids that was in the hut that got soaking wet.

Hut two was good but with the earthquake test anyone in it would have been killed because all the sticks started falling down and then the bark fell down on the rug, (a garbage bag found in the remains of an other old run down hut found in a bunch of bushes).

“ I was wet cold and nervous.” Tom said.

There were many other huts being built at the time but all of them were really good and almost every one got wet! In the end everyone got to destroy the huts and throw every thing away and crush the sticks.

“I felt cool.” said Jemma.

The middles had lots of fun making huts I wonder what they will do next year at Anglesea.

Bellaire’s having a big toy sale to raise money for new playground equipment for the preps & juniors. The toy sale was set up by the junior school council and kids  were asked to bring any toys that they didn’t want under these rules:

No electronic or wireless electronic toys.

All toys must have all parts with them. (so the buyer can enjoy it as much as you did)

All toys must be working (so there is no disappointment to the buyer)

Then class buy class they go buy the toys to give those toys a new home.

Almost every day of the week middle p has the roll.

I know it sounds pretty average because you used to have it to as a child but middle p does it differently.

When we do the roll we have a subject it could be transport or Geelong etc then we have letters that your word has to start with. It can have several letters or a very little amount.(say up to 5 letters or as low as 2 letters) and then the teacher rates how good the word is in these words Very good, I was expecting that one and terrible. And that is how middle p does there roll.

On the 4/9/06 the crocodile hunter also known as Steve Irwin got killed by a short tailed stingray while doing a special clip for his daughter Bindi.    According to the news the stingray got boxed in and got scared and panicked waving its stinger everywhere which went right through Steve’s lungs and into his heart. He swam to the surface and ripped the stinger out of his chest. Unfortunately he died and that was the last anyone saw of Steve Irwin or the crocodile hunter.
Middle P were very disappointed at his death so the next day brought up three websites and a video, (that we got off Wikipedia), to read and watch. We found a few facts on the short tailed sting ray on a web site called wikipedia. Middle P were very sad when we heard he was dead but we can always watch his daughter Bindi.
