Hector's world

Hector's world is all about keeping your personal information to your self and keeping safe on the internet.

It is so you don't put your self in danger,like if you gave your address,phone number or your user name or password you never know what they could do with all that information!

If you find or see something you are not sure about on the internet you should ask someone you can trust.

Sleet!

Today there was sleet at school! We all went to see it at the window. We could see little white things floating to the ground. We found out that sleet was rain and snow together. Sleet turns into water when it touches the ground, but we could see it in the air. Mrs Mackereth and Mrs Macmillin went outside and they said sleet felt like thick rain. It's been a long time since it has snowed in Auckland!

My Trip to Singapore

Last week I went to Singapore with my family on holiday. It was a long plane ride and took nearly 11 hours to get there. It was lucky we had tvs to watch.


It is very hot over there. It was about 31 degrees every day. We went swimming in our hotel pool lots.


We went to the Singapore Zoo. We got to feed the elephants bananas. We saw a show with the sea lion doing lots of tricks and it splashed alot of people. We also saw a show with cats and dogs doing tricks too. We also went on boat and tram rides there.






This spider monkey was walking around outside its cage by itself.






We went to Universal Studios. We went on alot of rides. My favourite was the river raft ride. My Dad and sisters got really soaked and it took them ages to dry out. My Mum and I didn't get wet at all. We went in the fairy castle to watch a Shrek 4D movie. We stayed there from when it opened to when it closed.

There was a lolly shop outside Universal Studios.

We went to Chinatown to the night markets. It was hot and very crowded. There was lots of shops and we bought lots of stuff.

Here I am by the Merlion which is half fish half lion. We went on a boat cruise that went past it.

This is the Marina Bay Sands building behind me. It has a boat canal running inside it's shopping mall. We went skating in the rink in the mall. The whole building lights up at night.

We also went to the Singapore Childrens Science Discovery Centre. There was lots of things for us to play with. In the afternoon we went next door to Snow City. We slid down the mountain on tyres.

We had to fly home overnight and it was hard to sleep on the plane. The food on the plane was gross.

I really enjoyed the trip!
