Along The Beach

Along The Beach

One very sunny day I was walking along the beach when a flash of blue light appeared in sight! What did I see? I saw a golden treasure chest shining so bright that my eyes were blinded. Shivering I slowly walked towards it, still shivering I opened the box I saw, a small chocolate fountain, one million dollars, jewelry, shimmering crowns and a wishing diamond!! I ran to the car as fast as my legs could carry me (the treasure box was very heavy though.)BROOM BROOM went the car as I drove off all the way home. 15 minutes later  I was at home, I got out of the car and opened the boot to get the chest out. I ran into the house and opened the chest I grabbed the wishing diamond and wished that I could have my own house and my rules. I had another wish of all wishes, that a really wanted for my whole life is to have a pet dragon that I could go and ride through the air! Now that I have got those cool things from the chest I was rich and lived happily ever after. Bye off I flew on my dragon Flames!

Personal Passion Project

 Personal Passion Project 

Last week we did Personal Passion Projects. A passion project is based on something that you're passionnate about. Something that you like a lot and like doing it.

I did cooking because that's what I'm passionnate about, I did it with Pippa and Pascoe. We made a movie with our information in it. Me, Pascoe and Pippa baked a double decker vanilla cake covered in different spots of lollies.

What's the hardest cake to make? The hardest cake to make was the soufflé made by Martha Stewart. Why were cakes invented? The Greeks invented beer as leavener, frying fritters in olive oil, and cheesecakes using goat's milk.

Who thought of them? Sponge cake are thought to be the first of the non yeast based cakes and rely primarily on trapped  air in a protein. 

The thing I learned about myself is sometimes I get bossy if I'm working in s team and how to measure things properly.

My 2015 Highlights

A Talking Lunch - August the 5th

One day.... Ding Doooonnng! Oh sorry it's lunch time I better go and eat. But I knew something was wrong because a gust of purple wind flew into my lunch box, I ran and checked my lunch to see if the gust of purple wind had done something  it had done something the apple and sandwich . I took my lunch box and took a seat outside with my friends. I almost took a bite and heard "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I know I'm your lunch but please DO NOT EAT ME!!" The sandwich said, I could hardly believe my ears the sandwich was talking to me I out my samwich down and started talking " how can you talk you're my lunch?" I said surprised " "I'm your lunch too why aren't you eating me" the apple shouted. "Okay, I need too ask you something" but before I could finish my sentence the apple and sandwich shouted "WHAT?" "You could be nicer about it though" I said "but we are food, we don't know any manners" said the sandwich "true, true but I need to ask you a question" I paused "was it the purple wind that made you have faces so you can talk." I said. "Yes!" Said the apple "it's obvious isin't it" "yes and no" I said "why did you say yes and no? It is obvious!" "Because ...." I said but I didn't finish... Another gust of purple wind flew into my lunch box. This time I looked at them but they had no faces!! "Oh well" I said taking a bite of my sandwich.

I Wish I Was Day

Today it was I wish I was day to raise money for Hawera intermediate. I dressed up as a super hero such as Super Girl, I chose the costume because I like having capes on costumes and I can pretent to fly! 

Colours and Feelings

The colour blue makes me feel sad because when you are crying blue-clear tears pour out of your eyes.
The colour brown makes me feel bored because brown is a dull colour.
The colour red makes me feel saw because red is the colour of your blood.
The colour pink makes me feel excited because its a girls party colour.
The green makes me feel brave and adventurous because it reminds me of fighting in forest stories.

Today a lady Mrs Hartly came to talk to us about making friends. Mrs Hartley came because there are 5 new people in our class and so she comes once a week. She taught us about Empathy, empathy is when you see someone else who is hurt and it has happened to you, you could feel it too. Some examples and they are: someone fell off their bike and you have done that to they feel sad you might feel sorry for them. Then we got three people and asked them what we are different from and these have what I got: 

Same.                                                  Different.
Heidi likes netball and so do I.               She has her ears parsed.
Ephraim likes to play on Technology.        He rides motor bikes.
Oil likes to eat ice cream.                       He's got brown hair.

My speech is about the Reptile Park I am going to tell you some of my speech.

Opening: YUM fly's taste good, probably not for me but for the lizards in the reptile park, today I'm going to talk to you about the reptile park in Leigh.

Photo 1: The first reptile we saw was a gecko it was to camouflaged to see straight away, all I needed to do is look harder.

Photo 2: There was another gecko who lived next door to the other one, but this one was brown it was easy to see among the green leaves and young branches.

Photo 3: these are what I called the dragon turtles because I didn't read the sign they had bumps in there cage sort pen there was a box of baby turtles over lettuce and carrot.

Photo 4: this is another turtle and I named it the tiny turtle, it was a baby it was faster then the bigger turtles we saw.

Photo 5: after we saw the last animal we had lunch but didn't get to see the animal which was the monkeys I didn't know why the monkeys were in there. I did not get see the monkeys because I got a bee sting in my thumb so we had to go to the center and get some ice.

Fru Fru Olypmics

  The Fru Fru Olympics

Arnika GOAL: I can sequence my ideas.

Isabel's goal: I am aware of how to write for an audience and I support the main idea with detail and comment.

                                     

Down in the forest where the flowers all bloomed, the trees all stood still as the animals watched the Fru Fru Olympics in the village of Fru Fru Trees . The wind whistled past as the sun beamed brightly on the athletes as they got ready to compete.

BANG went the gun and off went Mallon and Perky. Round the sanded race track. Mallon is coming first but Perky is annoyed so she catches up to Mallon and crosses the black and white checkered finish line. The creatures watching the olympics say that Perky crossed the finish line first but Mallon actually came first.  At the top of the coconut tree stood the small golden medal for Mallon, she raced to the tree and climbed as if she was rock climbing, Perky got there first oh no!!! Fighting at the top of the coconut tree Perky and Mallon fought over the golden medal. Until RRRRIP the medal ripped in half. Ending the fight Perky sliced the medal in half with her sharp shark fins.

After that they had a hour long rest for the next event. Waking up at 5:00 it was time to get started for the gymnastics tournament. First they ran wildly to the silver metal bars and did their astonishing flips and tricks!! The next thing they did was ball dancing the music struck up and the danced the night away.

It was time to go home and have a really long and nice sleep. Perky and Mallon woke up, the sun beams were shining through the open windows. Out of their bed they got, had breakfast and set off to the Fru Fru Olympics for the fifteenth day. Today was the final Perky will be in the swimming competition and Mallon will be in the gymnastics competition! GO Perky, Go Mallon! With all the cheering and all the strength Perky and Mallon won the prize. IT WAS THE GOLDEN TROPHY!!! Perky and Mallon stared up at the top of coconut tree there it stood the golden golden trophy.

It was time to find the big trophy Mallon found it first but then she heard Perky sneak up on her. She had a water mollon in her hand.  Mallon quickly ducked as she  turned around and she picked up a piece of fruit and threw it she quickly and ran up the tropical fruit tree. She said she won the trophy and it was so true. Perky was furious so she started to throw all sorts of tropical fruits. Mallon was proud of herself as she dodged the fruit that Perky was throwing. Mallon leaped of the tree and ran all the way to home in a dark and damp cave underground (with Perky following her of course.) Mallon had a trophy so Preky mined underground and made her own trophy with the gold she found. They all lived happily ever after.

Winter

Winter

I am aware of how to wright for an audience and to support the main idea with detail and comment.

Winter looks like starry snowflakes trickling down my back.

Winter sounds like rain pounding on the roof like a heart that never stops beating.

Winter tastes like hot chocolate and cakes straight from the oven.

Winter smells like smoke bursting through the chimney, from the flaming fire.

Winter feels like freezing cold snow freezing my hands off.

Giraffes Go Diving

Giraffes Go Diving

I am aware of how to wright for an audience and to support the main idea with detail and comment.

CLASS

I was quietly going about my daily job as a security guard at the Palace of Pools swimming complex, when I heard an unusual clip-clopping sound. The sound become louder and louder and got closer and closer. The strange noise sounded like animal hooves, but I felt confused because animals clearly don’t go swimming! What on earth could it be?  

I turned towards the huge row of camera screens on the wall behind me. My eyes nearly popped out of my head like popcorn bursting out of the pot!  On the screen that showed the lower hallway, I saw not one, but several gigantic giraffes casually strolling along the corridor!!

I watched with amazement as these gentle giants made their way up the spiralling ramp. They paused for a moment at the top. I wondered what they were going to do next…...
                                                         ISABEL

A few seconds after they paused they went strolling again to the top of the spiraling ramp, up the top there was a silver gate to a springy diving board. They all lined up still in a spiral, it looked like a spiral of yellow with brown spots. Several more have had added to the line every time they all moved forward. The first giraffe opened the gate with its foot and nose, finally it got loose and opened. Then the giraffe got to the edge of the board. Then you heard Sproing Sproing Sproing! The giraffe leapt off the board and into the bubbling clear water, and the next giraffe did a forward flip before hitting the water with a big SPLASH. Lots of other giraffe did the same thing. SPLASH... SPLASH... SPLASH!

After the giraffes had four or five turns each they calmly climbed with their long skinny legs and ran back up the spiral ramp like a cat chasing its tail, back to the changing rooms. WOW what a sight that probably will never happen again.

                                                         The End  

My Wild Side

I chose the moth antennae because i like feathers.

I chose the African dog ears so I can hear well.

I chose the bush baby eyes so I can see in the dark.

I chose the shark fins so I can slice and dice.

I chose the bird legs so I can run very fast.

I chose the butterfly wings so I can fly high.

 Luna Moth Antennae - How well do you smell? Your luna moth antennae are bushy because they have over 40,000 odor receptors. They help you detect the odors of other moths.

African wild dog ears - Your African wild dog ears are big so that they can give off heat and keep your body cool. That's good, because where African wild dogs live, it's hot.

Bush baby nocturnal eyes - How well do you see in the dark? Now you have your very own night vision goggles, courtesy of your bush baby eyes.

Nurse shark fins - You can use your nurse shark fins to rest in the shallow water during the day, so you're ready to hunt the sea floor at night. That means you're a nocturnal hunter.

California condor legs - Your California condor talons are blunt, unlike eagles who have sharp talons. That's because condors are scavengers. They don't need hooked claws to catch their prey. They just eat someone else's leftovers.

Monarch butterfly wings - Your monarch butterfly wings can beat five times per second. Can you flap your arms five times in one second?

Enviro Day

Enviro Day

I am aware of how to write for an audience and Support the main with detail and comment.

There I was, waiting at the bus shelter for the people to help.

I was at school, Friday the 24th of July we were waiting for the 25 people to help with our Enviro Projects. At least two people from each class came to tell about the Enviro Project we were going to do. Our part was putting the pavers out in the doorways of the Chicken Shed.

A few minutes before 10:00 we met at the bus shelter. They got off the bus and had a long talk about life and safety, then. We introduced ourselves and the people talked about some stuff including enviro things.

Mrs Waite told us to spread out with the one person that we were with (I was with Jordan.) Then the people chose which group they wanted to be in. Me and Jordan got two ladys. I felt very nervous.

Finally it was time to go to the chicken shed we sprinted. We discussed what we were going to do first and last. The first thing we needed to do is shovel the sand out of the trailer and on the place where we were going to put the pavers and then straightened, so the sand was smooth and so the pavers were the right level. I tasted the sand in the mouth because of all the shoveling.

We had to use two trailers of sand because the sand was not the right level. So Caleb's grandad went to pick up more sand from the quarry a while down the road. (While we were waiting for the sand we were puting pavers in piles, so when the sand came it was ready for laying down on the sand.)

Then finally the sand came, as the the shoveling was non stop (well not really,) the wheelburrow was going back and fourth dumping sand off. It was time to put the pavers on they were very heavy. 

At 3:00 the pavers were done, it really looked like a palace. It looked as if the whole place was finished (but not quite.) It was time to head back to class but before that we had a photo and a 'thank you for doing it.' Now it was time to head back to class I was happy and tired.

Shark Attack

Goal: to use feelings and descriptive words.

Shark Attack

DRAFT ONE:

There I was floating on my board relaxing in the sunlit ocean, feeling the heat on my back. Until suddenly! Something was attached to my leg, I spun around and saw a humongous g-g-gr-great white sh-sh-sh-shark!! I started kicking, thrashing and punching trying to get away. I threw myself off my board and paddled away, every few seconds I looked over shoulder to see if the shark was still coming at me, it turned out was following me. Feeling panicked my 
swimming got slower instead of fast because I was panicking. I heard this roar (I thought it was the sharks tummy) instead it was two jet skis and a rescue boat coming to save me, I still felt a little shaky as I scrambled on the boat and 
headed to the shore. Now that I was safe on shore I was sure that I was never going to surf again.

How A Lion Got Its Mane

How A Lion Got Its Mane...

Long ago in the wild there lived a lion with no mane. But there was a show in 2 days, he didn’t know what to do! So he went to the city not far away to a show place where there was a disco. He saw a few men with funny hairdos so he went to the back of the stage and found 10 orange wigs and he found a mirror that will come in handy. He put them on and looked in the mirror and said it looked so good, So when he went back to the wild (with the wigs on of course,) to show his friends and family what he did in the city, they were very amazed at what he did. So they all went to the disco and got some more wigs.

So that's how the lion got his mane.

Eep!

Goal: to write a beginning that sets the scene for the rest of the story.
Goal 2: I am aware of how to write for an audience and support the main idea with detail and comment.

Eep!

Once upon a time there lived two birds a boy and a girl, they lived on top of a hotel they had a chick named Birdy. He had wings but a human face, he also had bird feet. His mother is called Tina, she had blue like the glittering sea, her tweet is so sweet. The father is called Warren, he had chocolate eyes if he doesn't get enough sleep, he gets a little grouchy. 


One day Tina went shopping and got a Birdy some clothes. and Warren went to get some food from the corn field and the barn, which was a few miles away, he didn't really care. 15 minutes later Warren came back with a sack of food, corn, grain, bread, worms, seeds and those things that birds can eat.

Dragons

                     Dragons

Once upon a time there lived a queen, the queen's name was Holly. The five princesses were Isabel, Emma, Bry, Pascoe and Heidi. They lived in a massive castle, there were sixty servants to keep it clean and in tip top shape. The castle was in a deep green forest. outside the castle gates there was a marble courtyard.

One day the royal family set of for a walk (in the forest.) They knew the whole forest even where the wicked queen lived, her name was Mary The Evil. As they were strolling through the woods, they stumbled upon the Mary's evil castle. The royal family ran for their lives, but it was too late evil Mary had caught them! Mary's terrifying guards tied them up with ropes and strings. Holly, Isabel, Emma, Bry, Pascoe and Heidi twisted, turned and struggled to get out of the ropes and strings.

They were taken to a dungeon deep in the ground and were chained to the dungeon walls. Suddenly they heard a very loud ROAR coming from the other dungeon! They roar got louder the closer the dragon came, (they did not know it was a dragon.) The walls blasted down as six dragons came through. The royal family started to name and chose their dragon. Here's the dragon's name, color and who it belongs to

Holly's dragon is red and its name is 'Fire.'  Isabel's dragon is orange and its name is 'Flame.'  Emma's dragon is yellow and its name is 'Sunny.'  Bry's dragon is green and its name is 'Emerald.' Pascoe's dragon is blue and its name is 'Sky,'  and Heidi's dragon is purple and its name is 'Violet.'

The royal family flew back home, (after they had escaped) they decided that the dragons can live in a different castle a little further into the forest. For the rest of the week the dragons could be able to go out in the forest to get some things to put in their room in the castle (the dragon castle.) Two months later the royal family woke up bright and early on a sunny Monday to see if the dragons are okay. To their surprise the dragons have had babies!

A year passed... Two years passed, until one day Pascoe and Bry were going outside to have a walk. When as soon as they opened the door, they saw a female and male of every type of animals, with at least one baby of their kind beside them. So Holly said to the builders to make the same castle as the dragon's but on the other side (again a little further into the forest.) The animals were let every day of the week, but only for one week to get things for their room in the castle.

And they lived happily ever after, Except for the evil Mary who got locked up and chained to the dungeon walls of her castle, because of the guards. They did not like her bossing them around.


My goal is to support the main idea with detail and comment, and I am aware of how to write for an audience.

Dinosaur Attack!

Goal: to write descriptively and hook the reader in.
Goal 2: I am aware of how to write for an audience and support the main idea with detail and comment.

Dinosaurs!

I turned around and screamed a colossal Triceratop with three huge horns, it was behind all that time as I was picking berries! Its fiery hot breath was almost burning my head off, his red gem eyes was starring evilly it my terrified face. The dinosaurs body was covered was greenish scales, the thing I was mostly scared about was the triangular spikes down its spine all the way to the end of its very long tail, (it looked although it got stretched when it got caught in a tree.) Ha Ha Ha!

Youtube

Goal 1: to explain have YouTube channels and the rules around it.

Goal 2: to make a recording that is easy to watch and listen.

How To Use YouTube Properly

Room Four have been creating there

The rules are: do not put your favourite singers on or home videos, and be sensible.

Unlisted means that if you put it on your blog, people will be able to see it. If its privet people can't watch it, (if you put on your blog.)

What we use it for is when we have done some learning and Mrs Hancock says to make a video and put it on your own YouTube channels.

The 13-Storey Treehouse

Mrs Hancock read us a little bit of The 13-Storey Treehouse, then she said to make our own 13-Storey Treehouse the class shouted "Yay!" It was our goal to draw a treehouse and make it not the exact same one in the story, so she told us if you couldn't have giant cookies and cream river then have it in your 13-Storey Treehouse! 

Next it was time to design the treehouse and make it very detailed, so that's what we did. In my treehouse I have some of my favourite things, they are: 

The Pet Care where you can clean and groom animals, but there are chicken, dogs, cats and rabbits because they are the only cages I did.

The second favourite floor is Candy place it has a Coco Spa and a Candy House, I just love candy! 

2 more of them are my bedroom and the main room where we write story's and poems.

Me and my friend Emma helped with ideas. Her car is a lollie car it wine races and has to give me half the money she has from the race, if she lies and tell me that they didn't win the race the minion guards will take them to the Banana Jail! DUN DUN DUN! 

My car is a Shoe/Candy car it is so fast, (but of course it doesn't beat Emma's car.)

The post mans car is a lime green bush. HaHaHa!

The mostly favourite thing is the Elephant Candy Machine, it flys around and shoots candy in your mouth whenever you're hungry out of its trunk. YumYum!

One more thing I forgot is the emergency things there is torches spare clothes and the emergency slide.

There a lots of other favourite floors but I don't have time do write lots more.

And that's my 13-Storey Treehouse.

Oliver's Next Adventure

Oliver's Next Adventure

One spring morning Oliver woke up and peeked through the curtain. The sun beam was blinding him. As he was glimpsing to see if interesting things were happening, he just saw a cats fluffy black and white tail. So as soon as he saw the tail he pounced of the bed and bolted for the back door. To his surprise the door was open, so he ran to the tail on the lawn. When he saw the tail it ran into the bushes so he chased after it. a few steps into the bushes, he fell into a small pond with a little green frog croaking in his ear. The pond was connected to a creek! Eek! He was trying to climb out but his his hair was full of water. He was petrified. He kept scrambling up, one time he nearly got up but only just. Horray! Oliver got out, but Oh No! He was lost, DUN DUN DUN! His nose pricked up, he smelt a blueberry pie. He scampered after the smell. Despite the fact he didn't know where he going. Yay! He was home. now he could have peace and quiet at home, sleep in his own bed and eat his proper food.   

 

Walking Through The Park

My goal is to support the main idea with detail and comment.

My second goal is I am aware of how to write for an audience. 

One beautiful sunny day walking through the park was a snow cloud white dog, followed by twelve yellow chicks. the first chick said ''Mummy are we at the cafe yet?''

" No my darling" said the dog.

On the way to the cafe they saw beautiful flowers.

The Haunted House

The Haunted House

In the middle of the forest (well not exactly)
there was a haunted house. I wonder who lives there?
Lets go see. I knocked on the door the was no answer
so I slowly crept.

There were broken windows and cracked cups.
Soon I looked at the bedrooms, then I heard the door squeak
open and in came a very old and poor women.
If I get into trouble I don't know what will happen!
Maybe I will be a slave or maybe put under a spell.


I am aware of how to write for an audience
and I support the main idea with detail and 
comment.

Wheres Tom?

Wheres Tom?

Wheres Tom? I don't know,
I think I know he might be on the moon
eating cheese with the moon monsters.

Or having a holiday for the rest of his life
in England seeing his family.

What about flying to outer space in his Thing-A-Ma-Jig
powered by baked beans.

Maybe he's in New York meeting Madagascar and
probably moved house.

Tess

Tess

She has brown eyes that twinkle like bright stars in the night sky.

Her hair matches her eyes.

She sounds friendly but sometimes sad, angry and grumpy. (sometimes cheeky too.)

I like it when I’m sad, she usually cheers me up, and when I've got no one to play with at home she would play with me. (plus my brother.)

Are you wondering who she is? Of course! Her name is Tess.

She is special because she makes me laugh, plays with me when I’m bored and she’s friendly. She always makes me smile.

I’m never happy without her.

My two goals are:  I'm aware of how to write for an audience and
