The Treehouse Review



From the 13 to the 52 Storey Treehouse

A blog post by Liana, Nidhi & Julius

This is a book by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton illustrated it.

Andy Griffiths.
Andy lives in a 13 I mean 26 I mean 39 I mean 52 storey treehouse I think…
They have so many levels I can’t even count them anymore. Anyway, he lives with his friend Terry and together they write funny books.

Terry Denton.
Terry lives in the treehouse with his friend Andy. Terry draws the pictures and Andy writes the words.

Lets rewind all the back to the 13 storey treehouse. Lets go back WHIZZZZZZ WHOOSH BAAAAANG as you all know Andy and Terry live in a treehouse that gets taller and taller every book.  If you had are reading the book you
will see unlikely chapters like the MONSTER MERMAID
the VERY big  bubble and if you're not reading the 13 storey treehouse  READ IT!
Lets travel through time again ohhhhhhh lets go   
WHIZZZZZZ WHOOSH BAAAAANG ohhhhhhh we better
get used to this my stomach is downside up.

The top 5 dumbest things Terry has ever done in the 26 storey treehouse.
1. Tried to wash his underpants in the shark tank and they ate them.
2.Took his boa constructor to the movies.
3.Went rowing with his elephant friend.
4.Rode his horse along the beach and past the sign that said DANGER QUICKSAND.
5. Put jelly crystals (LOTS) in a penguin bath.
6. Tried to wash his underpants in the shark tank and they ate them.

Ok back to the story!
13 storeys later (robot voice)
13 more levels have been added now I can’t count wow um um um back to the time machine.
WHIZZZZZZ WHOOSH BAAAAANG

Andy and Terry added a trampoline without a net (Why no net thats so unsafe, well thats Andy and Terry for you).
Also a chocolate waterfall!, an active (not erupting now) volcano that is great for toasting marshmallows, an opera house, a baby dinosaur petting zoo, Andy and Terry’s believe it or else museum, a boxing elephant called the trunkianator (he can knock you out with 1 punch from his mighty trunk!), a not very merry go round, a X-ray room ( where you can see your own skeleton), a disco with a light up dance floor and a giant mirror ball, a high tech office and the most scariest roller coaster ever.


Lets jump in our time machine and go to the 52 storey treehouse.    
WHIZZZZZZ WHOOSH BAAAAANG
13 storeys later (robot voice )
The last chapter the 52 storey treehouse.
Now they have a caterpillar that eats anything in it’s path.
Here are some examples.
He ate 2 steam rollers, 3 rhinos, 4 inflatable wavy men and 5 giant mutant spiders.


Why have we been reading this series?
In Room 17 Whaea Emma reads to us after lunch while we drink our milk. It is hard sometimes to not spit the milk out because Whaea Emma does all the voices - including Captain Wooden Head. It is important to listen to and read stories everyday because it’s funny, you start to LOVE books, you can grow your imagination and crack up with your teacher.


OUR THOUGHTS ON THE STORYS

13
Julius: I thought that Andy and Terry did a great job, they made the 13 storey tree house seem funny, immature and really really stupid.
Liana: I think that that was one of the most coolest books that I have ever read and I would definitely recommend it to other people also I love how everything is just so crazy if you have or have seen this book definitely read it!  

Nidhi: I think I like this book and this book is the most funny book have ever heard of.

26
Julius: 26 is just as funny as the 13 storey it is so funny you can die from laughter the 26 story that includes funny stuff funny Andy and Terry hahahaha.  

Liana: I think that  was a funny book but not as thrilling as the first and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Nidhi: I like it and i think it is cool and very funny.

39
Julius: I liked it but not as cool as the 26 not that cool.

Liana: I liked it and I think it was better than the 26 storey

Nidhi: I love it and it it is cool

52
Julius: It was really cool tune in next week because we haven't read the whole thing - but Whaea Emma has promised we will finish it by the end of the term .

Liana: I like this 1 the best of the series even though we haven't finished reading it and I would recommend it to everybody in the world!

Nidhi:I love it

Art gallery

A recount by: Monica Samita


“Wow” as we walked into the art gallery then I saw something that was the scariest thing in my life and it was...

On Wednesday at eleven forty five am, myself and the kids that had been selected to go to the art gallery went on the bus and went to the art gallery with some adults too.

Next we had got to the art gallery and we all got off the bus as we walked up to the art gallery and we sat in rows of ten and we went inside and sat there as we waited for someone to tell us what we have to do and then we went off in different groups and we went and saw amazing dancing.

Then the year five and six played games and looked at some art works and talked about it and we tried to tell a story by using movement.

Finally we all did the haka as a thank you to and I got to say something. We
all had a great time.

Practise makes progress
by: Ayen Velasco

“No you go there!”
“No you’re supposed to be there”
getting into action
“WOW thats so cool”
“Positions!” Ayen screamed
so everyone went into their position
so did she
so we danced and danced all day.

10IC's time to shine  
by: Charlize Cairns

“Boom!” “It’s for 10IC’s time to shine now” Said Michty.  Then up goes 10IC getting into them positions and feeling confident but nervous at the same time.  Suddenly the music starts off. Tavake and Jayden start to move onto the stage five seconds later Eneio, Nikita, Sharon and I go onto the stage. We were the only group that performed a costume change during our dance.

Dark Magic  
By: Malachai Leaupepe Tulua

“No no no you're just too different
go off stage
you're not performing today!”
said Whaea Emma
so we all stormed off   
sat down
it was all an act
we proved them wrong
during that song
we are better
together.

Golf like the incredible hulk!


    Golf
    like the incredible
    HULK!

We are going to blog about…

Sportsmanship
Courage
Responsible
Honesty
Confidence

believe it or not these are ALL things you need to play Golf.

At Golf we learned that Sportsmanship is when you cheer for your teammates in your team and in the other team and don’t let them down to the ground
don’t think that you have a crown.

At Golf we learnt that courage is when you encourage others to try out new things that they haven’t tried before
so that they won’t get sore.

At Golf we learnt that Lorissa is so responsible because she always takes care of us and makes us feel like we are in HEAVEN we’ve not felt like that since 2011, and did you know that it’s a pah seven?

Courtesy is when you have to wait for your turn and use your manners like thank you, your welcome, please and excuse me and many more. Did you know that Lorissa did all of this for a 26 student classroom?

Honesty is when you always tell the truth and never ever lie then you will never will be disgusted and always will be trusted.

At Golf we all learnt that Confidence is when you stand up and stand out and don’t be shy or else you would become a fly, Bzzzzzzzzz.

Sasa with Pacific Dance Crew


          
Hi this term we have been learning our school sasa with the Pacific Dance Crew it inspired me to write this poem - hope you enjoy.

Doing the Sasa ,
it kept on going faster
and faster.
looking at the crowd,
I was so loud and proud,
having the dance workshop,
I want to eat bubble gum I’m about to pop.

So if you do the salsa do  the sasa.
Thank you so much for giving up your time just to read this coo rhyming poem.
Thank you for listening to my poem.

Dancing at the Art Gallery


Art gallery           
Poem by Danina


The art gallery was fun and creepy

it was loud and scary


they don't laugh
they were not even talking
I was creeped out  

There was a man next to wall
he was dancing
on the wall he wrote Sylvia Park School
and Justin’s name
on the wall

We moved on
the more we moved on
the more experience I got
when it got to the end
we went back outside
back to real life  

Back to the bus
Back to school
Back to our bags
Back home
