The Hatched plan (creative story)

Kia ora today we had to write a story about a picture it was a snowy night and we had to make a story out of it. Here is what I wrote let me know what you think.

A pitch black sky with trees that reach the sky almost touching the stars with snow gliding onto the trees. The dark trees stretch over to the other side of the house with snow already covering the branches. The white fluffy snow covering the grass and shining from the light of the warm fire on the inside of the house. Little Timmy asleep in the second floor of the house waiting for footsteps on his roof.

Suddenly little Timmy heard thumping footsteps just above him quickly he jumped up in his dark blue pyjamas. There were no more footsteps on the roof Santa knew that he was awake and rushed away before he could be seen. Little Timmy set up a trap to catch Santa he put out trip wire attached to a bell. He fell a sleep and then he heard the bell ring he ran down stairs but he only seen his cat.

Timmy looked to his left and seen Santa staring at him with a angry look. Then he took out his long list found Timmy's name and put him onto the naughty list. Timmy ran back up stairs crying himself back to sleep. He had a bad dream that he stayed on the naughty list and never got off of the naughty list.

Then he woke up and looked down stairs under the tree and there were presents reaching up to the roof. He questioned why there were presents when he seen Santa write his name on the other list. Then he realised he might have put Timmy onto the good list. That made Timmy think what did he do that made him on the naughty list?

Fun run

Kia ora today we had to choose different topics I choose to talk about the fun run. The fun run was fun I wore a white shirt so it got really colourful. The first time that we ran around we didn't get any colour or wet but then we ran around again and we got colour and wet there was some tarp. We could slide on the tarp I slid all the water splashed up beside me and got my teacher wet. Then we went over a bouncy castle on the second time that we went around people were hiding in the bouncy castle. when the year sevens were running people had some water bottles and started to do a water fight but then when people were filling up there water bottles but Whaea Jude stopped people from doing water fights.

What are some techniques you can do to improve your balance?

You can have your eyes closed and stand on one foot, you can stand there with your arms straight out in front of you or you can stand there with your eyes closed.

why do people feel dizzy after spinning around?

Because the fluid inside of your ear is still moving.

100 word challenge

Kia ora today we had to do a 100 word challenge here is what I wrote.

Today we are going to the water park. Everyone likes going to the water park because of the massive water slide. But I am not here to tell you about the water slide. I am here to tell you about the terrible incident. It was just like a normal day and the water park we were having fun and boom just like that it turned to the worst day ever. They turned the wave pool on and the waves were definitely unsafe. They were way taller than me so when I was in the pool they pushed me under and I nearly drowned.

5 second rule vape project

In Health we were set a task that required us to work together and communicate with people. we got a question from Miss Aiken we got when did vaping become a big thing in NZ? Our questions were about what is in vaping.The topic that I chose was vaping. Firstly we had to pick our group the decide what we wanted to do in order to teach people about vaping and our chosen question. My group chose to recreate the 5 second rule but it didn't work out how we wanted it to. The first thing that we did was make the questions and made the game board. from there we made our rules and we got people to play it. we did this to teach others about vaping. It was challenge when the game did not work out but we compromised. Next time i will make sure we make sure our game works out.

house plan project

Kia ora for this whole term we have been studying ohm's law for most of it we made a house plan. Our aim was to learn about ohm’s law. We also learnt voltage, current and resistance. First we had to make our house plan then we made our circuit and tested it out and added it together. Then in math we added the area. Current is a flow of electricity which results from the ordered directional movement of electrically charged particles. Voltage is an electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts. Resistance means the refusal to accept or comply with something. I did enjoy the project. It was fun doing the current and the voltage and also figuring out the area. I would make my work neater. I  made my house with seven bulbs, maybe challenging myself to use less.

pontoon bridges

Kia ora today we had to answer these questions about pontoon bridges.

Why were the pontoon bridges made?

An early pontoon bridge was constructed in 480 bce by Persian engineers to transport Xerxes' invading army across the Hellespont (Dardanelles). ... Because they obstruct navigation, floating bridges are limited in nonmilitary applications, yet several long-span floating bridges have been built in modern times.

How are they built?

Pontoons were formed by simply lashing several barrels together, by rafts of timbers, or by using boats. Each bridge section consisted of one or more pontoons, which were manoeuvred into position and then anchored underwater or on land.

200 hundred word challenge

Today in WGA we had to write a 200 hundred word challenge since it was snowing outside no one was concentrating on silent reading they were just looking outside to the snow.  

Today at school the day started fine. The weather was fine but until the end of period two I looked outside

and I saw light fluffy SNOW. It might not be that exciting for you but for me it was I hadn’t seen snow in tenyears. It is 2021 now and it was 2011 when it snowed last. My teacher let us run outside in the snow. We

weren’t out there for long but there were other classes out there. I looked outside and someone had gone

running for a ball and then someone pushed them and they slipped. It was funny when I saw it. All that I

thought was about how many people were gonna get sent home because if we get too wet we will get

sent home. I looked out again and I saw someone slide on their stomach underneath the rugby post.

I knew that he was definitely gonna get sent home. The only thing that I was hoping for was that it would

snow heaps and we would not have school tomorrow. So then I can have a hot chocolate in front of the

flames, nice and warm in my bed, sooooooooooo cozyyyyyyy.

Week nine Do now

 topic: it is important for high school students to learn about politics

Do you ever wonder about what happens in the outside world? Well we shouldn't because we need to learn about it at school. in my opinion we should let our tamariki know about what is happening out in the world. That is why i think that it is important for high school students to learn about politics

Do now week 9

Topic: Public speaking is one of the most important life skills.

you have a school project that you have to write a speech then say it in front of the whole class. What are your first thoughts mine would be that i am going to be sick on that day or i don't want to talk what if i stutter oh well i won't do the work. Don't think how i did just then think about the other people in that position like the prime minister she speaks to thousands of people. in my opinion public speaking is one of an important life skill. although public speaking is on of my top fears i still try to push through my thoughts. What if you become famous then you will have to be good at public speaking for commercials and stuff like that. That is why public speaking is one of the most important life skills. 

matariki should be a public holiday week 8 do now

 There is one time that Maori culture is celebrated and it isn't a public holiday! Well now it is but before the government changed it matariki was just a story that had been told in school. The Maori people couldn't celebrate it because they would of had to work but no they can go out to see the stars of matariki have a hungi and then relax for the day. that is why matariki should be a public holiday 

week 8 do now

topic: English is the most important subject to learn in school.

When you think of school you think of sitting in class looking at your English teacher thinking about what you are going to write. Well at least that is what I think. teachers will say that English is one of the most important subjects. trust me it is a good subject to know about but what about when you finish school like what do you want to do when you graduate. it really depends on what job you want to do like you want to be a writer then this will be important to you. or lets say you want to be a professional athlete then this subject will not be important to you. In my opinion it depends on what to want to do when you graduate.  

Week 6 do now

Topic: The age for voting should be 16 years old

Do you think that we should be able to vote at sixteen? Well I think that we should let people sixteen and above vote in the election. My reason about why we should be able to vote at sixteen is because by the time that people get to sixteen people would have matured by then so they would have been able to make a sensible vote. We already have the we can get our learners driving licence at sixteen why not have this as well. I think that when you are 16 years old you should have the right to vote.

Te whiti o Rongomai

kia ora a couple weeks ago we were doing our essay. We got to choose who to write about i chose to write about Te whiti o Rongomai. here is my essay please leave some feed back 

Te whiti o Rongomai

Who do you think is an important leader? Research shows that Te Whiti o Rongomai is one of the most important leaders this is what research shows. Even though people had come to his land to take it away from him Te whiti retaliated in a nonviolent way by cooperating with John Bryce he was the leader of the parihaka invasion. Well he thought that violence is not going to solve anything so he decided to cooperate with John Bryce. people may think what type of leader would let his people get hurt and taken away from their homes and put in jail. Despite that none of the tribal members wouldn’t fight.

after all of the nonsense no one died. However Te whiti sadly later on passed away on the 18 of November 1830. His tribal members have continued to observe monthly dusk to dusk Te Whitis days at Parihaka ever since.
