Our trip to motat
On Friday the 2nd of June the Year 5's and 6's went to Motat. It was a long and annoying journey because many people were singing songs. When we arrived we were told the rules. The part was to finally open our lunch box and eat our morning tea. After that we headed down to the classroom. At the classroom we were looking at levers, pulley, wheels and gears.
When we finished that we picked up some objects and we were told to find out what simple machine they were. We then needed to make model pulleys with some K-nex and some string and a ping pong ball. The people in my group were Micheal, Steven, Daniel and Callum. We made a truck with a crane. In the end groups model was the best.
The next thing we did was go see a man named Mike. He was in charge of the pump house. While we were in the pump house we had to do a challenge. There were many machines in the pump house there was also a boiler to. After that we went to next door. Next door was created to pump fresh clean drinking water from Western Springs. The water that was being pumped at the pump house was sent to Auckland city.

Painting Drains Report
Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm doing a report on BBPS's painted drains. 
It all started on the Friday 11th June and (my buddy reader) Milla from Room 5 wanted to make the drains attractive and colourful. So Mrs. Horn, a couple of Year 2s from Room 5; Hannah, Mahin, Nicholas and of course, Milla; and Zoe and I from Room 1 started to talk about what we wanted to draw and with what colours. I went to the Room 4's drain with Hannah and Milla with some chalk to draw with while Zoe stayed at the Room 5's drain with the boys.
Soon, ideas started to bubble up and explode everywhere as there were lots of drawings. After a while, we had two lovely, colourful drains. We did 3 more drains on Friday 18th June. Teal and I painted a 3D hole around the old, metal circle at Room 4. Madeline, Brianna and Emma painted Room 2's drain with sea creatures and a group of Room 2 students did the drain beside the hall with a scene of Rangitoto Island. Our school will look more wonderful when we finish all the drains!
Watch this space for more reports and beautification!

BOOK CHARACTER PARADE
On Friday 18 of June the students of Bucklands Beach Primary School had a book parade. The event was at 9:00am. There were many people characters from books. The person I was was Fred from the clever Gribbles. This book was written by Joy Cowley. I particularly enjoyed this book because it was very funny.
I looked like a boy with a shirt and a shorts. I like skateboarding. I have a cook named Mrs Munch. I have to sisters too. Me and my sisters are inventors.
This is the final book in the series. I would recommend you reading them from first to last. This is a good book for all ages.
My favourite part is when his sisters give him an upgraded version of his skateboard and smashes into a bus stand and a police car!
I hope you enjoy reading this book if you are going to read this book.

Mira as Nancy Drew
For the book character parade I dressed up as Nancy Drew from the book Nancy Drew the Secret of the lost pavilion by Carolyn Keen. I would recommend this book to 9-12 year olds because it is quite a challenging book to read over all I rated the book a 8/10.
The Great BBPS Book Character Parade
On Friday 18th of June the whole school piled into the school hall dressed in costumes of their favorite book character. Fleur was dressed as Fly Guy and Jessica was dressed as Sara the maid. Room 1 was the most stylish and creative class by far. There were lots of strange book characters like 3 talking toilets, a giant cyber turkey and a boy dressed as a princess with a large pea.
The Rangitoto girl whanau leaders did a great job by telling the junior classes when to stand and sit.
Every teacher had to choose a boy and a girl to stand forward and say who they were and which book they came from. The teachers also dressed up as well!
This year's book character parade was FANTASTIC! But it was the last year for the Year 6's to do this so they had to put in all their effort.

The Book Parade
The Book Parade
The book parade was a very successful with a wide range of charters including a cyber Turkey and some talking toilets. Many people thought it was very amusing and a creative festival Michael was called the artful dodgier . Harry was the boy called Greg from the book called the diary of a wimpy kid. Next time we have a book parade I think it flow a bit faster.

There were all sorts of costumes from mice to toilets super heros and cats, they all looked wonderful and so colorful and the show took a while but i don't think anybody cared because it was a spectacular sight some boys even dressed like girls! Over all I think that the book character was very successful and AWESOME. In fact I'm still wearing my Minnie Mouse costume.

Book Parade 2010 By Madeleine,Sarah and Abby.
On Friday 18th June 2010 Bucklands Beach Primary School held a book parade celebrating books! Everybody's costumes were AMAZING! It went in order from Middle school, Junior school and then last the Senior school.
People wore fabulous costumes! There were cats, witches, vampires, pirates and all the things you can think of! Teachers asked a couple of people what they dressed up as. Some people took longer then others to make there costumes because of how much detail was put into the costumes. This terrific event was held in the school hall. Everyone thought really hard about there costumes, and one boy from Room 1 even dressed up as a girl!! Today was a fantastic day for everyone who participated in this event.
I dressed up as a Vampire, Abby was a Vampire too and Sarah was a Cat. We all looked fantastic and had a great time!

Emma as Pinky Pick
For the book character parade I was Pinky Pick from the book My Name Is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton. Written by Geronimo Stilton. I would recommend this book to children under 12 because it is really easy to read and it has lots of pictures. I would give the book 4 out of 5 stars.

The main characters in the story are the cat, mom, Quinn, sally and Conrad. I chose this character because he looks and is a funny character who is appealing to all readers. We had fun!
