Highlight of Term 4

My highlight of Term 4 is competing and winning the Jump Jam Nationals held in Christchurch, St. Mary's College.

The experience at The Jump Jam Nationals In Churchurch was amazing winning was amazing. 

 

TV Stars!

On Friday Palmerston North College Street Normal School flew to Christchurch to compete in the Jump Jam Nationals competition! Our flight took one and a half hours. When we finally reached our destination at the Christchurch Airport, we hopped of our plane. After that we went to the Antarctic Centre, we saw tiny little penguins, they were so cute!! I wanted to hug them so bad!! 

Then the C.S.N.S. jammers meet the place we were staying at for the night and the night after that. 

The next day was Saturday. We went to the competition at 4 : 00 pm so we had some time to do make up and hair. By the time we were finished it was time to go to the competition held at St Mary's College in the auditorium. We were the last team to perform. We were last but not least. We were last and memorable. 

WE WON!!!

Our routine was 'Choco-Latte' aka: Winning Routine. 

We were so pumped that night, we also figured out that we were going to be on What Now! The performance for our routine was at 9 : 30 am, it went well. 

I WAS ON TV!! On the same day it was the school Gala, everybody was talking about how they saw me on TV.

Life Education

Has any of you ever heard of Harold The Giraffe;
No   Yes




Well This might remind you.

This is Harold, Happy Healthy Harold. He's the star of Life Education Trust. Harold will teach how to treat your body and live happy and healthy as well (Tim's actually the person who goes through the body cycle(. Did you know it's bad to smoke? Well I'm sure you already knew that but if you do kids you have a big chance in having lung cancer (depending how much you have). Yes I know I'm still a kid but I'm 90% sure I will not smoke in my whole Entirely LIFE. 
It's quite important to not put bad things in your body, you don't want to end up with lung cancer. 

Did you know the sign when your kidney's telling you that you haven't drank enough water? Well if you go to the toilet and your pee is yellow then that means that you haven't had enough water, if it is clear than you have had enough water.
Tim says that you should have 8-9 glasses of water each day? I know right that's crazy. But I know you might think it is crazy but I suggest you take his advice. 

Tim travels to other schools to talk body safety and things in your body.

Hope he visits your school sometime

Visit to The Beach

In the first week of the hoilday's my Brother, Grandma, Cousin and I took a trip to A Beach (I forgot the name). My Grandma told me not to get wet, but guess what I did get wet and the beach is also really sandy (no surprise there). I had so much sand and water in my shoes, I could make a sandcastle. But on our trip to the beach was still fun. My cousin ended up collecting rocks (for no apparent reason). I thought it was worth it when I was getting wet but now I just regret it.

'Dear Charles Vixen....' She stops and ponders.

Password: millionaire business

Phone Number: 13523909 cellphone: 06894572100

From Piper Turk,

"Password.... millionaire business. Yes, yes, yes! This is sure to make me rich, this plan is to clever and diabolical!! He-he-he-he! He-he-he-he! Soon I'll  rule Germany", Charles (his actual name is Eugene Vixen) gloated. Eugene scrolled up and down the screen, he looked for the PacMan business. Whoa! It had millions of money, he thought this would make him a millionaire!!! "Victory is mine!", he celebrated his victory (not that it happened yet, but it will!). "You know what I nearly feel sorry for those foolish  people....Nearly, but guess what I don't care. Dummies!', he laughed with evilness, stroking his white cat. “I've been planning this plan for centuries!! Wait it's actually only been 10 years...... Anyway...". 

Piper thinks this is so exciting! But what she doesn't know she's being hacked?! Is her money just going to slip out of her hands  (or her bank account) could her reality be any more mysterious? She doesn't even know! "This is so exciting! Where could I go? Australia, America, Fiji? There is so many choices to go, or go on the most dangerous trip......A SHOPPING SPREE!", she squealed. But will she have any money to spend anyway? Do you think she will find out what is really going on? Piper took a trip to her animation studio, it wasn't a pleasant ride though, she rode a dumpster truck… But her excitement flooded her so much she didn't mind riding in a dumpster truck. But her money is doomed, and guess what… She doesn't know it. 

Piper was at her animation studio, she greeted everybody in her workplace. They wondered why she was so pumped and happy. Her boss was so curious she asked her why she was so happy. "Well... So this money competition I...I won $10 000", she explained. Her boss questioned,"How did you win so much money?'. "This person informed me that I won a competition, I told him my bank account and password, and phone number", she continued. "Do you know this person!?', he asked angrily. "No", she replied. "Are you crazy!!! This could ruin our business we could be shut down!!", he yelled. She was shocked. "No this person was different he....he was really nice, his name was Charles", she exclaimed. "That's not going to cut it! You don't know this person in real life!! YOUR FIRED FOR PUTTING OUR BUSINESS IN DANGER!!!",he shouted frantically. "But,but...". "No buts! Get out of my office immediately!", he huffed. He turned away from her. "Well! Too bad you're wrong because this person is nice I can feel it in my bones!", she yelled back. After she got fired she couldn't talk she was speechless. But judging by that she's obviously has bad feelings. 

Eugene Vixen was peacefully sleeping until a knock at the door…...Knock! Knock! “Now who would that be?”, he hid his master plans. “Charles! Hello anyone home”, Piper yelled. Eugene ( or should I say Charles ) sat sliently, Piper couldn’t hear a thing inside of the house. Oh no, she can’t know I’m here! I must hide, Eugene thought. He hid in the pitch black closet, but the closet door made to much of a noise. “Charles! Is that you? Don’t hide from me----I..I need you, or I will kick this door open right now!”, she pleaded. He replied nervously, “No you can’t I’m in the….Um bathroom”. Piper felt suspicion seep down her back like ants crawling down her back. “Well okay then I will come back later----”. Phew! He thought. Eugene got out of the closet just when he thought that she was gone. “HA! You dare try lying to me!You might not be a good man afterall! Is your name even Charles”, she asked fiercely. But all of a sudden she collasped onto the couch. “Yes, yes! You finally found that it is to late to save your money! And oh no you don’t have a job”. “Oh and my real name is Eugene Vixen” he added. Piper sank, he was right there was no way she could stop him now. How did he know she lost her job! “I’ll answer that question for you. I’m from Germany, I have my sources. You know your boss Mr. Fisher? Well he is my evil son in law. Surprised?”, he explained leaving Piper speechless. He continued, “I commanded him to fire you. You are now poor! No way to earn money, top that off you have no savings. All of your money is now in my hand. Sniff that sweet money! Heheheheheheheheheh!”, his victory was impossible to stop, or was it. “Why would you lie to me! I’m so stupid. I so mad at myself😠 Why did I tell someone my bank account! hmmm---”, Piper thought of an idea. I could delete my bank account…”What are you thinking about? OH and yes you are pretty stupid”. I admit I am pretty scared if she comes up with an idea, he thought. “Nothing”, she nervously admited. 

As quick as a flash Piper was tied up on the tippy-top of his tower. But, not in the tower the outside of his tower. Eugene’s tower was 900 metres high, she was doomed... There was TV Helicopters filming ‘Someone trapped on top of highest Tower in the world’. Piper didn’t dare looking down, she gulped and gasped for air. “Help!!!”, she screamed. Eugene ducked out of the hatch at the top of the tower. “Your money is mine! Beg Piper! Beg”, he said over the flying helicopters. “Your life is doomed, give me the keys to your house or else”. “Why do you want the keys to my house?!”, she asked curiously after she puked on a helicopter, which crashed. “Don’t you know Miss. Penelope-Von-Poor. Under your house lies a chest of tresure. Now I only going to say this once... I WANT YOU KEYS AND I WANT THEM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’, he yelled vicously. “Never”, Piper yelled back. She kicked him of the tower.

2 months later…

Eugene and Piper are in jail. The officer marked Piper as ‘Nearly Killing Someone By Kicking THem Off The Highest Tower IN THE WORLD- Punishment 4 months in Jail ’. The police officer marked Eugene as ‘Criminal Hacking Into Other People’s Bank Account And Tricking Civilians- Punishment 2 years in Jail. After the Jailor marked off the two criminals he got some unpleasant news..... "Hello this is The Jailor. Yes, yes I know Number 1673. What!! Eugene broke out of jail! Oh no.", the shocking news gives The Jailor a heart attack. He sorts a search party. "Hello this is The Jailor", the line dropped dead. "Hello!".
