Jimmy's House

Custom Glitter Text

On the 25th of June I went to my best friend's house. When I got there I hopped out of the car and Jimmy was there. When I got inside his room it was covered in logo, so I helped him tidy up.

Discovery time

My group  and I got out a big sheet. Then planned on the whiteboard, then we did a draft and drew with pencil because we might make a mistake.  Then we drew a pond, New River Primary, round about, train track, car parks, rugby park and golf course. Then we painted the train

Discovery Time Streets

For Discovery time I Drew a picture of a road and some grass then I panted it I didn't get time to finish it so I am going to draw schools, houses, parks, shops and things you normally see around town with felt pens.

ASSESSING THE SCENE: Constables Brendan Parker (left) and Ben McLean inspect a crash scene after two vehicles tangled on Tweed St in Invercargill and crashed on to the centre plot. GRAB A THRILL: This lucky group of 15 scored a free thrill-seeking jetboat ride with Kawarau Jet in Queenstown, while also being filmed for a GrabOne television commercial. GrabOne is a daily-deal website, and staff members were in the resort filming the advert to celebrate its first birthday. WAITING GAME: Miles Mann (left) and grandparents Diana and Keith Mann, of the United States, await a flight home after having their two-week New Zealand holiday completely changed because of ash clouds and a lack of snow. COME TO THE SHOW: Organisers Lynne Tupua (right) and Moniek Kuilder, who both have family members in earthquake-ravaged Christchurch, promote the charity concerts to be held in Invercargill. Ticket sales have been shocking, fewer than 150 of the 1000 available tickets had been sold. WINTER GETAWAY: The Milford track barge under the command of skipper Fred Heath is transported to its winter home on a foggy Te Anau morning to receive its annual service. The barge has been transporting supplies to the start of the Milford track from Te Anau Downs once a week for about 10 years. The barge plays a vital role for walkers during its operating season, when its supplies are helicoptered to Glade House and Pompolona Lodge, on the Milford track.

DEDICATED STUDENT OF FASHION: Gore High School student Emma Ridley works on her entry in the new secondary schools' category at this year's Hokonui Fashion Design Awards.

HELP AT HAND: Former St John Te Anau manager Frank Dewhurst with a training defibrillator, identical to one now located at Knobs Flat, between Te Anau and Milford Sound. BEER HOG: A true blue, beer-drinking pig enjoys an afternoon beer with his Tokanui owner. After a hard day's graft on his farm, this kunekune pig enjoys nothing better than hogging some beers and pigging out with the farmer. The pig was obviously very thirsty when our photographer arrived because he grunted and groaned, refusing to let him back into his car until the farmer produced a bottle of his favourite tipple Speight's. The farmer wanted to remain anonymous. FALCON AT THE GATES: Richard and Joanne Walker in their 1993 EB2 Falcon XR8 at Queens Park's Feldwick Gates as part of the 2011 Aussie Crawl to Manapouri. The annual convoy is organised by the Southland Holden Enthusiasts Club. The convoy had travelled through Western Southland, stopping for lunch at Colac Bay. About 35 cars had taken part.

TRAPPED: Volunteer Ray Willett, of Te Anau, with the feral cat he discovered while clearing the Kepler Track trapline between Rainbow Reach Bridge and the control gates.

Last Friday Room 12 went to Enrich. We were excited when we arrived at Enrich everyone was looking forward to making Movies and to have fun. We made Garageband Movies it was Awesome because We could use different voices and we could add Music in the Background. Alana and Katie were experts at making Garageband movies, At Morning Tea and Lunch time we went to get some fresh air outside at the Car park and we played with the balls. For our stories we got to choose out of The Three little Pigs, The true Story of The Three little Pigs, Princess Smarty Pants, The Gruffalo and Russell the Sheep.We got a A3 piece of paper with the pictures on it so then we get to plan before we do our actual Movie, We also got Headphones to talk in our story its like we are telling the Story but you can change some parts of your Story. When we were going back to school we said Goodbye to Alana and Katie and we also sang a Waiata (Song) for them for giving up their time to teach us how to make Garageband Movies. We had an AWESOME time and our teacher was proud of Room 12.
