Step Up 3
Step up 3 is my favourite movie and the best part of the movie I like is when they have a dance battle and moose comes out of nowhere. He jumped off his bike and starts to dance on the water.And because he jumps off, the bike goes onto the concrete. After that moose went on to the water and then pushes the man off the grounds and then gets wet because of dancing on the water. And the part im talking about is called the water dance.

For this years Halloween artist Alish Octigan skipped the celebrity-themed costumes and took things into her own hands, creating a terrifying effect depicting her severed head floating above her neck.

Running👻
The Olympic Sport I chose is Running because thats my passion and because Usain Bolts is in it, the country Im supporting is New Zealand. Im going to tell you a little bit of my favourite parts I wrote. The first race was me and Usain Bolt, we had a race but unfortunately I lost but then when we had a race the second time I won against him and I was smiling and being cheeky to Usain Bolt. After being cheeky to Usain Bolt, I went up to him and said to him if he was alright, but then he asked me for another race, in a angry mood like he was going to do something to me.👻👻

Speech Tyga
For my speech I did Tyga the singer. (not the animal!) My speech was 3 minutes and 18 seconds long. When we finished learning our speeches we had to say it in front of the class and we had to do it without reading what we wrote. My teacher and all us other students had to say to the person who was speaking what we thought they can improve on. It was fun telling others how they could improve their speeches.

Sugar -The Additive Murderer
Image Link
The sugar we eat is a murderer. There is sugar everywhere but some are hiding in our food and drinks. You might think that you know if a product has sugar, but some of them will have much, much, more that you think there is. Did you know that ⅔ of supermarket products have sugar. If you eat too much sugar you can get overweight. Most of the time you might not know how much sugar your'e eating but actually you are eating lots. And that's why you shouldn't eat sugar all the time.

Cooking 2016
>>>Cooking 2016<<<
At Mrs Tuipulotu's class at Tamaki College we made smoothies and in the smoothies were ice-cream, chocolate, food colouring and some milk. When we were making the smoothies Mrs Tuipulotu was talking to us and we were laughing. For the smoothie you need to use the blender to make the smoothie nice and ... smooth! The only part I dont like about it is the foam because there are too many bubbles in it.
