Nadia's dog Jasper

My Dog Jasper

About a year ago my family decided to get a cute little puppy. Well he turned out to be very naughty. At first I really did not want to call our dog Jasper. But now I actually quite like the name! Jasper is a schnoodle ( schnauzer crossed with a poodle). He is a boy and Jasper has dark brown eyes and light black fur. We have noticed that in the middle of Jasper's fur is a golden streak that has just appeared lately. Whenever we leave home and we open the gate to get the car out Jasper decides to be naughty and runs out the gate down to someone's compost. We try to stop Jasper but every time he comes back with something disgusting from the persons compost. We tried taking Jasper to about 3 different puppy schools but he will just not behave. We have decided to just try and train Jasper at home now. Jasper is very naughty but he is also very cuddly, loving and very energetic and our family still loves him a lot!

Our P.I's! -By Nadia Mabey

Our P.I’s!

Everyday in Qzealand we have a P.I. Lately we have had some very good ones. Our first P.I was actually from me. I did it about countries of the world. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it.

Our second P.I was from Dan. He did his about his cat Tiger. It was very interesting.

The next P.I was from T.C’s dog Cliquot. He did his about: Why do dogs roll in stinky stuff? Clicquot did a very good 

 Then we had Noah's P.I. He did his about catapults. Noah had very good audience interaction because he got 4 people to try and make a catapult.

Our next P.I was from Emma and her question was what were toys like 100 years ago? She did an awesome job of making some toys that they actually used 100 years ago. 

Then we had Megan's P.I which was about bees. Everyone got to try some honey that Megan's family had made.

After that we had Fraser’s P.I about bravery. It was very interesting and he had made a shield where we all wrote something about something that we had done which had been brave.

Then we had Maggie’s P.I and her topic was about the lochness monster in Scotland. Maggie did her P.I on a very cool website called Powtoon. 

Our next P.I was Shay's which was about soccer. Shay had a very good quiz that got the audience interacted. 

Then we had Brayton’s P.I and that was about rugby. In Braytons P.I everyone got to go outside and we got to see who could do the longest kick in our class. The winner was Tom. 

Then we had a very exciting P.I about sea life from Tom. Toms P.I was very good and everyone seemed to really like it! 

Finally we had Akiva’s P.I which was: Why do french bulldogs get their tails cut off? Akiva even brought in her own french bulldog called Zoe. Zoe was very cute! All our P.I’s  have been sensational so far and I am really looking forward to all the other P.I’s!

Girls night out! -By Josh

Girls Night Out

Here's the story of girls! If you want to be a girl follow my lead. This is how my attempt with the girls went!

"Hey gurls, let's talk about gurly things like cute kittens, and, and, um, your, PONIES yes, yes, that's it ponies and pink unicorns and rainbows."

"Jules?" they replied, "How about we go to the movies like totes" 

"Yeah like totes! Like totes!" I replied. But when they said movies I thought they meant let's watch Cinderella or The Sleeping Beauty!

But No they said "Let's watch Barbie!" And Barbie is a boys movie! Isn't it? I mean you've all watched Barbie. Haven't you!?

 I was flabbergasted when they said it was a girls movie! The movie was sooo good. But because I thought it was a boys movie I'd watched 5 times!

After that I was like "Let's go to  macers!" They just rejected the idea like totes and said "Let's just get a smoothie!"

Emma's Nana - Scanner phone

So, last weekend I went with my Nana to her work at the library in woodville.  The whole library was silent until…
The phone rang.  Nana went to answer the phone but she picked up the scanner instead.  She didn’t realize for a while.  She was getting all frustrated.  It was SO funny.  Eventually she realized nobody was talking to her on the phone ( scanner) and that the phone was still ringing.

Who's this speaking? - By Emma

It was Nana’s birthday.  Mum and I called her up to say happy birthday.
After that Mum decided to call my brother Dylan who lives in Wellington.  I over heard her say “Make sure you give Nana a ring to say happy birthday!”

The next day Nana came over to our house.  Mum asked if Dylan rang. Nana said “Yeah he did but I didn’t know who it was at first.  I had to ask him who it was!”
Of course we all started laughing.

Arianas new dog Lucy

As I raced outside I was finally free . Out of the corner of my eye I could see a tall figure, it was just standing there,oh! It was just my dad but there was a living animal right beside him.

 As I rushed towards him if I could see a dog. I was so joyful! There's a new dog that is going to be in the family. As I walked along I asked, “ What are we going to call it?” Dad replys, “ what about lucy?” “ That’s  a  nice name!” I say as we hopped in the car and drove away .

Mrs Nelmes

Mrs Nelmes.

On Thursday we had a teacher teaching in our class until 11:00 to fill in for TC. Her name is Mrs Nelmes. She is really nice and a great teacher. She had a game for us which was really fun. I hope that Mrs Nelmes will be able to come and teach in our class again.

Nana has a orange face!

NANA HAS AN ORANGE FACE!

Nana and I were in the car on the way to ballet in town.  I was looking out the window as we were silent, nobody was talking until...
Suddenly Nana screams out  “ LOOK AT MY FACE!’  I whipped my head around and …
HA HA AHA! Nana had bright orange lipstick all over her face!  “ I THOUGHT IT WAS LIPBALM!” Nana shouted out at the top of her lungs.  She was getting all frustrated because she couldn’t find anything to wipe it off with.  As soon as we arrived at ballet Nana had to get out of the car in the middle of town to see if there was something in boot to wipe her face with!

It was a Mother's day card.  HA HA HA everyone started laughing!  NANA IT’S EASTER!
That is only one of the hilarious things my Nana has done

EPRO 8   update


Wow that challenge was awesome!  the whole experience was great, It was nothing like we thought, we thought it would be mathematical challenge involving division, multiplication, algebra, etc. but NO! It was kind of a building contest but also involved wires and buttons so it was kind of involving tech, also maths because everything had to be in the right angle to work. Anyway we all had so much fun,  we even got placed, boys got first place, and girls got sixth, because there were three second equals and one fifth.

Why QZealand doesn't trust TC.

Trust issues with TC

So occasionally TC sends us for five minute breaks. But now nobody trusts her, Here's why.

The first time we went for a five minute break she set up an evil plan, to trick us all. The plan was a paper folding activity. She said we had to make the fold, with no further instructions. Nobody could guess how to do it though.

We all tried hard for a whole 15 MINUTE BLOCK and still didn’t get it. Half way through we realised she was sneakily roaming around the room, scribbling down all the comments we made on her idea.

She said she would show us all how but first she read out everything we said, SCISSORS! SCISSORS! SCISSORS! Was mainly the only things we said, After she showed us how to do it everybody said “I would have done that easily if I knew there was that twist”.


So yeah that's why we have trust issues with TC.
