2015 Polyfest

Yesterday the whole senior block of Pt England school went to poly fest. In the morning we went to get ready to go to poly fest. First we sat in our classes for our teachers to call our names out on the roll. After our teachers called our names out we went to go on the bus to poly fest in Manukau. After 20 minutes drive on the bus we got off on the side of poly fest.


We sat down until the other buses arrived then we went into poly fest. When we got in these security guards were checking our bags. They were checking too see if we had any illegal stuff on us but none of us had anything. When they were finished we went to go sit down on the wet cold grass. We saw lots and lots of different schools there.


There was a lady talking to us about something, and then, John Key, the prime minister came. That was the first time I had seen John Key. After that we all went to go do some activites in our own different groups. The first activity we did was fire wise. A fire mans was talking to us about fire safety. Then he showed us some stuff about what fire can do and how fast it could spread.

After a couple hours we went to go see the performance of bollywood. That was awesome watching a different culture. Then our team teacher  brought us some donuts. They were delicious. After that we went to sit down in the sun waiting for our buses to go back to school. When we went to get our bus there were no buses and my team had to wait. It was hot when our bus came. We jumped on the bus and went back to school. When we got back to school we all said thank you to the bus driver and went back to class.

Dictation

Once again, pig and wolf came face to face and things aren't looking too good for the pigs. Who will protect the emperor? Is there anyone who will answer his high pitched squeal for help? Anyone at all? Better bang that gong, ping pong!


I am Oinky No-Ho. Adviser to the great emperor Ping Pong, and priest of the monastery of Wu-Da-Ling. I am hear to tell you of the kung-fu pigs, and of how they fought to defend our lands against that most evil trader, the Crimson in Trotter (He who keeps the company of wolves). In this tail you will learn of bandits and our foul play. Of magic swords and evil spells
. And so, honorable stranger, let us begin...
