Today I started the book the thirty-nine Clues, The Maze Of Bones.
So far I am up almost up to chapter three, what is happening so far is that Aunt Beatrice is driving to Grace's funeral, everyone thinks that Aunt Beatrice is driving like a slow lunatic and she is clutching to the steering wheel.

Here is a photo of the book:

The Eye

One day I was just strolling on the beach, relaxing and cooling down. I had a boring day. I hope I would find something to cheer me up or to give me something to do. So I carried on walking and then I found........


A shell underneath a piece of reddish driftwood. I carried on again. An eye , an eye. What in the world did this come from, a squid or a whale? I don't want to know. Is this weird or what. I went over to the policeman and showed him, he said that it was either a squid eye or a whale eye. I ran home and asked Mum if I could go round the block on my bike, and she said yes. So I ran to the Museum, I lied. I went in the door and gave it to the person at the front desk.


She said what is this and I told her I do not know. So I just left it on the desk and ran home, phew just in time for dinner. The next day Mum and Dad read the Museum weekly and saw the eye and said well I wonder who found that.

My koru art...

Koru Art
This is my koru art, I am very proud of it because it is one of the best koru art I have done. I could have done better but I rushed it. It is not good that I rushed it. 

My room

To my right I see my wall that has heaps of things all over it like art, to my left I see my new draws nice and clean as a whistle. I look up and see my model aeroplane floating above me, with string that blends in with the air. “Hmmm” I say, and look at my shelf with some things that I got for my birthday, like Lego. What if Lego becomes real and came to life? That will be fun, I thought. They will bounce on my desk and try to work my computer. They might even download the Lego texture pack, play Minecraft and even make a multiplayer server. I do not even know how to do that.


This must be me and this must be my room!


My tree of life!

This is my tree of life, I am very proud of it. You can scan this with a apple product. I used a pattern for the stem. I also used things like decorations that are hung from string. I have Minecraft things because I love Minecraft.
Here is my art!

Production Diary....!

Dear Diary,

Hello my name is Samuel and I am a advert designer followed with Matthew, Sami, Teva and Jack. Our add is STATE!


Day One
I’m on the seat looking ahead of me and seeing empty space. “While we are waiting we will take a quick commercial break”, Casey says. Jack gets up and walks forward Matthew and I follow. I thought it will -not actually be that bad. “Tonight I crashed into the poultry queen” , I heard Jack singing. I just waited and waited till my part was on, wait it already is my part!
I quickly sing: “I just woke up from the strangest dream, my house was robbed around me broke in and didn't rouse me, they stole my favourite thing my big TV!”

“Call the police man first then call the team at State. Ain't nothing gonna break my stride oh no state will keep you moving!”
“Call 0800 4 state”, Jack said in a lady voice.
I waited and finally the day was over!





Day Two
Matthew, Jack and I arrived in the hall and straight away got on the seat, it was sad that Sami and Teva were away. “Advertisment one!” Ms Hill yeled. we got up and done it very fast before we knew it, it was done. I did it without even thinking!








Day Three
We work on our sound and I do my same cool expression when I say they stole my favourite thing, my big TV! We are performing to the parents and we also have Sami and Teva with us, which is great because we have not had them with us because Teva was sick and Sami was in Auckland.



Day Four
I am performing to my parents and family tonight and I am performing to the school today!
“Ok go line up outside to go the hall.” , Mr Moriarty informed. So I lined up and the class went to the hall.(we had a little bit of fun before that):3

The tube of wonders

“Ahhh! A lovely day, Mum,” I said loudly. “Can I go feed the mountain dogs up in their kennels?”
Mum said yes. I did not really want to go up there but the dogs need their food! I went up the tall mountain and finally reached the mountain house, the dogs were jumping inside and wanting to come out. I let them out the door and they sped away down the deck and round to the other side of the mountain. I followed them very tiredly. My sister woke me up last night because she had a nightmare. I closed my eyes and kept running when I realised I had bumped this hard thing. I opened my eyes. I saw this very strange structure, I went up to  the door. There was a sign that said witch switch will you pull, with brackets saying (100,000 total) , there must be that much switches, but I could not see any switches. Well daaa Sam, I said in my head, go in. I went in it was full of switches wear ever I go! I thought about what the sign said. “I want to pull the right switch, Hunter and Josh, but I do not know what one will be the right one. I pulled the fifth switch a clown came out on unicycle and done a dance. I pulled another, half of the floor came of and the clown fell into hot boiling lava. I gulped, I did not want to switch another one but I did, My dog went flying into the wall. “ Hey!”, I said . Onto my next switch It opened up a wall and I went inside. It had a cube hanging from nothing, it was glowing green I grabbed it and ran as fast as I could back down the hill, josh and hunter chased me I reached home and went into my bedroom and closed the door and bereaved. I looked at the cube. It flashed and an bug looking thing came out. It could fly. “Ahhh! What is that” I said, I ran, It followed me, suddenly I stopped for a minute and looked behind me. The bug looked sad. I feed it some leaves and some fruit it did not like that. I feed it some cheese, it gulped it down and flew around in a circle five times.
I decided to keep it in a jar with holes in the top and when it dies I will still keep it, or maybe it might have kids and get married and live happily ever after.



Cube (this is where I got the picture from)

How I am learning in room 20?

I am halfway through my awesome year of learning in Room 20. How am I learning?

Some things that are different about this year are I have more tools to help with my learning.

Having a computer and Google account has helped me my writing on google docs and helped me get more information.

I like having a blog because I can show my work and people comment and can see my work.

I share my learning by posting it on my blog.

I help others by helping them to use our tools.

I use ICT to help my learning in these ways: I get heaps of information and facts for things like our topic and research lessons, I also can do things like take pictures on a webcam or other tools.

I get feedback for my learning from Sami, My Family, Felicity and heaps of the class. They give me feedback by commenting and asking and telling things. This makes me feel very proud of my work and makes me feel good about myself and what I have put into my work.

Things I am really proud of achieving in Room 20 are better with my imagination for my writing, also I am proud of getting very high in maths.


I am most proud of this year.

My origins story- A story of a lone robot.

It was another lonely day,

I went for a walk in the woods, horrible smoke was blazing in the air. I suddenly saw a train go by 15km per hour, the fifth carriage had a logo like mine. It looked like I would find a friend or two, so I pounced on the sixth carriage. It zoomed all the way down a metal road it was so long so I went to sleep. I reached this weird factory it looked abandoned,but not for long,I walked some more a huge gate flung open without a push as if some ghost had opened it. Big forklifts screeched and pounded into sheds, with big shipping containers. They almost ran over me with their big wheels!
I stepped on a leaf from the forest, I thought and went back into the forest.
