The deep dark hole...

Hey guys! This week for writing we have been focusing on our senses! We had to describe the picture down below.  I wont type in too much because I would love you to read my writing right now! Here it is :)

WALT: Use our senses to write a description.

The Deep Dark Hole

 

The scent of the flowers combined with the colourful petals clear my mind. I always come here when I'm stressed. As I walk closer to an unfamiliar part of the garden, the scent of the flowers change to the smell of burnt pieces of bark and the flower petals go grey. Suddenly the ground beneath me vanishes. The next thing I know, I´m falling down a dark hole. I open my mouth to scream but stale air fills my mouth. I feel books bashing my body as I fall faster and faster. Small noises of books opening and closing rush past my ears.

The force of me falling is so strong I can hear the whooshing of the wind. As I fall the things above me and on land get smaller. A beam of light from above shines on the dusty books. My hair is tangling around my face. Cold wind fills my nose. My mouth opens to scream again and as I yelp an icy breeze fills my lungs. Confusion fills my brain but curiosity is wandering around my head as well.

I start to fall faster.¨AHHH!¨ The echoes of my scream fill the dark rabbit hole. Water drops fill my eyes and as I cry they.. float to the top? The smell of rotting wood flies around the hole. I´m feeling so petrified I can taste my own fear. This will definitely traumatise me for the rest of my life.

My Lockdown poetry and Anthology

 Hey guys! As you all know, NZ is know in a lockdown because of Covid-19! Before we went into lockdown, for writing we were focusing on poetry and anthology. So now that we are in lockdown we are continuing with our poetry, BUT the theme for all of our poems can be based around either Covid or how we are doing and how our family is in lockdown. For a start we got to choose from a Haiku, ( a 3 lined poem, in the first line there are 5 syllables, 2nd line has 7 syllables and the last line has 5 ) or a tongue twister ( a poem with as much words starting with the same letter in your poem as possible, ex. She sells sea shells by the sea shore ).

I chose to start off with a Haiku, then I did my tongue twister. After I completed them I created a countdown poem! I will be adding in more poems as I finish my other tasks. I hope you enjoy my work!

How are you feeling about lockdown?

I would love feedback about anything on my work :)

Batman's great day

 Hey guys! This week for writing we have been focusing on compound sentences. Once we finished writing out 10 ( In my compound post ) we wrote about a photo we found on pobble. The photo was of Batman at a Bagels, Donuts and soup, shop. We could write it in any way we like. I decided to write how Batman got to the shop! I hope you enjoy and here is my work!:

Noun: Blue, Verb: Yellow and Fanboys: Green.

One foggy Saturday afternoon, 1998, in Gotham City, Batman woke up to a BAM! He threw his bat suit on and covered his face with his black mask. He sprinted outside to see the Joker laughing his head off. The Joker was skipping around throwing TNT all over Batman's island. Batman grasped his grappling hook and chucked himself to Joker. Joker was not scared nor surprised, he was expecting this. They started to fight. Batman threw the first 6 punches and Joker took it well. Mr.J (joker) grabbed his bat and tried to hit Batman but he missed multiple times. Then out of nowhere..POW! Robin flew into the battle like a butterfly. He knocked Joker out with the back kick that Batman taught him. Batman looked at Robin and was surprised he remembered his training from 1992. Batman smiled. Robin went in for a hug but Batman walked away. “ Sorry Robin” Batman said, “ But I am hungry after that fight” and he wiped his mask as if he had sweat on it. But Robin knew he just didn’t want to hug him. Batman grappled away and arrived at Bagels, Donuts and Soup. He sat down like a princess and ordered some soup. He drank it carefully yet spilt it all over himself. THE END

Have you ever spilt soup on yourself? I know I have! I hope you liked my work and found it funny! I really enjoyed writing this it was very fun! Thanks for reading!

Have a nice day

What is a compound sentence?!?

 Hey guys! In writing we have been learning about compound sentences. A compound sentence is two simple sentences combined with fanboys. To make a compound sentence you need:

A Noun: Name, place or object.

A Verb: A action word.

Fanboys:

F= For

A= And

N= Nor

B= But

O= Or

Y= Yet

S= So

Ofa helped me turn my simple sentences into compound sentences. Here is my work:

Highlight: Noun   Verb   FANBOYS

The sun is shining.	but it is still cold.
The weather is crazy.	and it is freezing.
I like eating.	but not too much because your tummy might be full.
I slipped on the ground.	and it hurts.
Jumping is fun.	and I think it's fun!
Snow is fun to play in.	but it can be freezing!
I saw a teddy bear running.	so slow
I am writing 10 compound sentences.	and it is fun to write
I came first place in a sprinting competition.	and i went crazy when i won
I drove to Wigram Primary School.	and i got into an accident
The sun is not  dimming.	nor shining

Winnie the pooh.....

 Hey guys! This term for writing we are focusing on narratives! My narrative is combining Winnie the pooh and Humpty Dumpty. The first thing we had to do was plan what our stories were gonna be about. 

1. Setting

2. Characters

3.Feelings

4.Build up

5. Problem

6.Solution

Then we could actually start writing. Here is my writing, I worked really hard on it and I would LOVE it if you gave me feedback. Enjoy!

Once upon a time, Winnie the Pooh and his friends sat on a cherry red, brick wall laughing at each other's dad jokes. Quite far away, Humpty Dumpty was singing, dancing, eating honey and living his best life. Winnie started posing on the crimson wall with his cool friends outside of the dazzling mansion. Meanwhile, Humpty was dancing in the dimed Hundred Acre Wood. When Winnie talked, he had the most cheerful attitude. His pitch black eyes twinkle in the sunlight.

By the brilliant castle, Winnie and his fragile friends felt wind gently blowing on their soft and woolly backs. Unknown to them, a tornado was brewing and concocting in the distance…

BAM! BOOM! POW! The enraged tornado knocked the frail Winnie the pooh and his delicate friends off the apple red wall. The furious tornado forced a storming and rapid sneeze to come from within. They were feeling sore, regretful and hurt. The animals bonked their fuzzy heads on the rough concrete floor.

Far far away from the stunning castle, in Hundred Acre Wood, Humpty, the honey lover, ran out of his saffron coloured honey. So, he decided that he would ask the grouchy and greedy king. He strolled down the hill reciting his speech for his beloved honey. When he finally reached his destination he saw a couple of animals painfully lying on the ground. He called and signalled the guards that some animals were in a terrible accident. They were swiftly rushed to the hospital, given medicine and bandages. After 48 hours they were healed and blissful.

Finally, Winnie and his friends were let out of hospital, they all hiked back to Hundred Acre Wood with fears of walls. Humpty tried to warn them. They all get that joyful, cheerful and happy feeling in their stomach. They were meant to be friends forever. In the end, Winnie, Humpty and all their friends lived 

Happily Ever After.

Moral: DO NOT SIT ON WALLS ALONE OR WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

Have you ever been to the hospital? If you have comment why you were there. If you haven't then you are lucky! Please give me some feedback.

Have a nice day

Monster Pick-A-Path

Hi readers,For about 4 or 5 weeks (i think ) we have been working on a monster description, problem and pick a path story! This was definitely one of my favourite writing tasks this year.To get to blogging, we had to:

• Pick a setting to describe..then describe it! With the 5 senses (See,Smell,Hear,Touch and emotions.
• Pick two other people to be in you group (in my case, Skyla and Ella)
• Put you descriptive plans together
• Make 5 paragraphs using your plan. The paragraphs will be your 5 senses you did in your plan.
• After you have completed ALL you paragraphs, introduce your monsters that you created. I created Splanda in week 3? Then we had to put in all our monsters.
• Once you put all your monsters in (in the monster paragraphs there should be the 5 senses) come up with 3 problems.
• Once you have your 3 problems create seperate docs of YOUR problem in that doc. (You had to come up with your own problem)
• Once all the problems have been finished, put EVERYTHING (except your plan) onto  Google Slides.
• Blog it!

I am up to....BLOGGING IT! Once again this was really fun and I hope you love this!

ENJOY!
P.S. If you checked out Skylas Blog or Ellas Blog and they did not have my story, its because I was not at school.

Where did you end up? Comment which path you took and did you go back and check out the other stories?Please give me some feedback on this I would really appreciate it!

My Spagen!

Hello viewers,
Last week our Writing teacher read us " Where The Wild Things Are". It was very interesting. After we read the book we had to come up with an animal with 4 different animals. You could pick ANY animal you wanted.I picked a Sloth Head, Panda Body *Which looks like a penguin body :(*  Pig arms and chicken feet. HER name is Splanda and she is a Spagen. The fist thing we had to do was plan. Plan what out monster would act like and look like. Then we had to make a Character Description on our animal. After we did our description, we had to go on a Google Drawing and make out animals out of pictures or we can trace out animals. After out Google Drawing we had to DRAW our animal on A3 paper.Then we had to colour and cut it out.Then Mrs Lee put our animals on the wall (Not all of them..YET!) and she is going to send us  a picture of out animals. (Which has not been done....YET!). I hope you enjoy and like my monster.
WALT:Write a problem in a narrative.WALT:Write the solution in a narrative!


This is Splanda :)

Splanda 

Splanda  is a 17 year old Spagen who lives in a jungle called Spandandia.
Splanda was a result 

from scientists. They wanted to create an animal  no one has ever seen or heard of.
A Spagen. She has the head of a sloth, the body of a panda, pig arms and chicken legs.
After Splanda was made scientists became mad and started making heaps of Spagens!
But the Spagens didn't like their home.They lived in a LAB with scientists everywhere.
So one night the Spagens ran away to a jungle.They came up with a name...Spandandia.
Now all the Spagens are safe.

Splanda has a very normal personality.She gets her laziness from the sloth.
Her shyness and cuteness from the panda.She is cautious from the pig and
weird feet from the chicken.
Also long nails...from the chicken!
Splanda is funny and a little scary because her pig teeth.Shes also quite chubby!

Since Splanda has pig arms it is hard for her to reach things from a simple distance away.
She eats bamboo, seeds, berries and veggies.Also fruit. She sleep in trees,mud and hay...
if she can find some.
She can run fast but slower than the normal human speed because her chubbiness.
She loves to roll around in mud and sleep all day . Shes quite cute when she sneezes.
She loves food and the words “Just relax Splanda”

Do you have any ideas of who Splandas friends could be.If you can MAKE UP an animal and tell me his/her traits.I think Splanda would love new friends.Thank you guys so much for checking out my blog.When I get the photo of Splanda I will add it onto this blog post. Promise.

Turtles and Tortoises

Hello readers,
Last week I worked on my new information report for you guys.It is about turtles and tortoises.I tried  really hard to make this perfect.I think i did a really good job on this and some of these paragraphs are AMAZING!This has been one of my best info reports yet.(Even though I have only done 2).I hope you like this and learn something interesting about Turtles and Tortoises.Enjoy

 Turtles and tortoises.You probably know barely anything about them.Except that they have a hard shell and move very slowly.You may know more but in this information report you will learn what they eat,their dangers,their predators,what they look like and where they live.So read on.

Ever wondered what turtles and tortoises eat?Sea turtles love eating jellyfish and sea snails.As for tortoises, they like eating plants when they're older and meat when they're younger.They also like eating bananas.Bet you never knew that!You may think they eat completely different foods, but some foods they both eat.Which is worms...and gross algae which is that gooey green moss that floats in swamps and fish tanks.Sea turtles obviously  live the sea which means they eat thing found in the ocean such as, crabs, shrimp, lobster,sea urchins  and fish.

As for the tortoises live on land which means they eat kale,dandelions and veggies.

Want to know where turtles and tortoises live?Tortoises live in hot places like Africa,Australia,Europe,North america and Asia.Sea turtles live in the ocean.They live in the Pacific ocean,the Atlantic ocean and the Indian ocean.But they do move around a lot.

You may not think that turtles and tortoises have many dangers but they do!As you know there’s millions of pieces of rubbish in the ocean and Sea turtles think they're jellyfish.In many parts of Asia, turtle hatch lings are eaten!People are fishing up Sea turtles and suffocating them.

Guess what...turtles and tortoises scute(their shell) is made out of bone! Turtles and tortoises have very scaly skin, which proves they are reptiles.Their bone scute has a beautiful pattern which helps them camouflage.They have long clear nails and have colour vision as well.They have big mouths which is good for catching food and eating, big meals.They have colossal flippers that look like a paddling stick!They have very small legs that look so cute.When they stick their head out you can see their wrinkly neck.They also have no teeth.

So know that you have read this information report, you know what turtles and tortoises eat,their dangers,their predators,where they live and what they look like.Turtles and tortoises are very interesting reptiles.

Thank you for reading my work
