Hello?

WALT write a story about what ever you want

A writing time today, we had to write a story about what ever we wanted. There's not much to explain. Just that we did free writing. My story is called "Hello?"

Hope you enjoy!

Me and my friends were just walking around a park and I saw a dirty house. It was dirty and crusty with cobwebs and broken windows. I told my friends I had to go to the toilet and they said okay. I headed straight to the dirty house. I was so scared that I couldn’t breathe. I tried to push myself to go in there but I just couldn’t. As soon as I started to walk away, I heard a loud BANG! I turned around and put a serious face on and went inside. 

The door closed behind me. There was two stairways. There were a lot of spiders and cobwebs. There were three bookshelves too. One upstairs and two near the door I came in from. It was very creepy and brisk. I went upstairs and looked at the bookshelf and saw something coming from underneath. I touched it and it looked like BLOOD. 

I was so freaked out I ran down the stairs screaming. I tried to open the door but it was locked somehow. I tried to break it open. I grabbed a chair and threw it at the door. It didn’t break. Then I heard someone. “Hello?”. I turned around. “Is someone here?”. It sounded like a man. I tiptoed and tried not to make any sound. Then he came.

A tall figure stood in front of me. His blood dripped from his legs and arms. “GET OUT OF MY HOUSE” He screamed. I ran to the door and tried to open it every way possible. He ran to the door. Finally, the door opened. He nearly got me but I ran out of the house and slammed the door shut. I ran back to the park. 

My friends were still there. “Why did you take so long” One of my friends said. “Did you have diarrhea or something”. I laughed. Me and my friends started walking home. Then I screamed. I saw him there. The man. He just stood there. With this nasty look on his face. “ What’s wrong?” My friend said. “Nothing” I said shaking.  Luckily, my friends didn’t notice the house. I promised myself to Never. Go. There. Again.

The Efficient Way!

At reading time, we had to create a more efficient way for Sir Edmund to get his building tools ,that he uses for building the school and the hospital, up on to the Himalayan Mountains. But it had to be doable. It can't be planes or helicopters etc. It had to be modern technology. I decided to do a elevator (not a real one). I think I did pretty well. My idea was clear in my head but I wasn't really sure how to create it. But I'm really happy with the results!

Can you think of anything more efficient? If you can, let me know!

Can you think of a Sentence?

In class, we are learning about descriptive writing. Mrs Lee gave us a slideshow full of pictures. We had to come up with a sentence that would describe it best. E.g as I stepped outside, my eyes were filled with the sun that glistened. The next day, we had to come up with sentences like similes, idioms, alliteration etc. I really enjoy writing so this activity was great! ( This is not finished but don't expect anything more from this slideshow.)

So what about you? Can you make up a sentence? Good luck!

The Big Jump

In class, we had to rewrite the story in our own words. My group's story was "The Big Jump". I found this kind of hard because I did want to change the story a bit but I couldn't. This story is about a boy named Big Daddy (Funny right?) and he is afraid of the flying fox. 

Have you ever been on a flying fox before? If you have, let me know

The chills that ran down my spine as I attempted to go down the flying fox. I was sick to my stomach. I couldn't DARE go down this flying fox. "I don't have a death wish" I said to myself. But then Tim came up to the platform and tried to talk me into it but I couldn't. What if I fell? What if I get stuck? I didn't l know what to do because I was so scared. But then he told Sandra, the instructor, to do a tandem. He put a harness on and rode down with me. I nearly wet myself because we were going SO FAST. Once we got to the bottom, We hit a few tyres. It really hurt but I think it hurt more for Tim. Tim was barely breathing and crying. "What happened" Everyone was asking. " I had to help Tim, he was to scared, he nearly wet himself. I didn't want to make myself seem less tough. I'm glad Tim helped me from that horrific trip to the ground.


Stay Awesome, Possums!

I Love Me!

This term, we are learning about Taonga. Taonga means treasure or something that is very important to you. This task is all about culture.  I am Cook Island and Tongan. we had to talk about family tradition, traditional food and old stories etc. As I made this presentation, I realised how much my culture means to me and how I love my family. I think I did pretty good.

What I found hard: finding information to add in to it.

What I found easy: using colours that attract the eye

What I could improve on: adding more pictures.

Goodbye!

Willow Weavers!

In class, we had to make an information web again. Our Story was called 'Willow Weavers'.
This was a very interesting story. It was about weaving using long, strong and thin sticks.

So how about you? Have you weaved before? If you have, let me know!

Being A Zookeeper

In class, we had to make a Information Web about the topic of our book. My group (Matilda) was reading 'Zookeeper For A Day'.

An Information Web is information that is built up to be the shape of a web. You have the name of the book in the middle and then the categories, and then the info. 

I hope you learnt something from this.

Enjoy!
