John had been stuck in the cave for three hours now. He couldn’t find his way out so he headed into the cave. There was more water has he walked to the other side of the cave. He had been in there for four hours and finally he saw a light. The light was coming from the roof. John jump up to the light. The light was coming from a stone tower that his class had learnt about. He tried to climb to the top but couldn’t. He finally got to the top of the tower but couldn’t get down.
There was a boy named john who liked to walk around and in caves. He had only had one torch that he used. John had just found out that there was a cave he hasn’t walked into. The next day he headed off to the cave with his torch. He didn’t turn his torch on until it got dark. There was a flash of light, then, darkness. His torch was not working and there was more then one tunnel to get back out, but it was to dark to see. The sea was not going to get to him yet.

In term one holidays my family went to Dunedin. While we were in Dunedin we went shopping I got new shoes and a chiefs hat. Also we watched a movie that was interesting. My sister, dad and I head down to Tapanui. Once we go down there I stayed at my cousins for the night. When we got home my brother and I went motorbike riding down the river. My favorite parts of riding at the river is going they the water and open riding.
This term for maths we did area, perimeter and volume. I feel like I have a betting understanding of volume. For P.E we have done a lot of game and my two favorites are nonstop cricket and bench ball. Nonstop cricket is when you hit the ball and you run, the bowler bowls it as soon as they get it. Youthtown comes out and we play games.
Writing we have done explanations what is when you explain your topic. For reading we have done sra cards and blogging. For tech we did art and made clocks. I have improved in my writing and giving myself more time to edit my work.
The Danseys pass trail ride was on the 20th of march. The gates open at 9 am. In the morning I was at the gate handing out papers. Then I went on the family twice and the junior. The trail ride had more then 1000 rides.
A growth mindset it is important to my because I can’t give up when I am batting at cricket. I also need one at school when we are doing work and I don’t give up when it gets hard. I need a growth mindset when I am riding on the trail ride. I also need one when I am playing all my sports that I am play this year. I had a growth mindset when we were doing the test at the start of the year because I didn’t know the answer but I kept trying until I got the answer.
