EOTC week

 Hello bloggers, today I will be telling what we did at EOTC Week. Last week we stayed at school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 

On Thursday we went tree climbing at Spencer park and at Adrenaline Forest we played on the playground and also got to go to the beach.

 Friday we went to Mega Air and after that we had morning tea and then got changed into our togs. In the afternoon we competed in Top Team

 The week after that on Monday we went to Rolleston and went roller skating at Phat Sk8 and played at the park that was just around the corner. 

Tuesday was the Amazing Race. We got split into to groups and had to make it to Mageret Mahy. There were prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. 

On Wednesday was the last day and was very sad. We went surfing with stoke surf school and had fish and chips for lunch. 

Since the rollerskating was my favourite I'm going to show you 1 photo of me. 

Atheltics practice

Talofa and I'm back with another blog. Today I will be tell you about what sports we did in athletics practice. We did shot-put, long distance, long jump, sprint and discus. On the practice day we did three rotations and on the real day we did 6 which is all of them. We lined up in our year group lines then went to the rotations we needed to go to to.

Here is a ugly photo of me.

Haiku

 Talofa lava and today I'm showing you my Haiku poem we did. We did 4 poems. Out of the 4 poems I chose my haiku poem for the festivals of flowers. A haiku poem is a Japanese poem. It has no title, 3 lines, First line will have 5 syllables, second line will have 7 syllables and the 3rd line has 5 syllables.  It has to be describing the  beauty of nature.  We had to do two flowers. My flowers were a poppy and a rose. We were also not allowed to use the same flowers we wrote about in our Cinquains. 

Here is my Haiku poem

He had a older brother named Harold

Then found a friend named Carold

Spring Learning Journey number 9

Hey y'all. Welcome back to my blog. For cyber smart we have been doing our Spring learning Journey. We got to choose if we wanted to do the activities or finish off our reading stuff. I chose the activities because I was to bothered to finish the reading stuff. I decided to do the poster about an animal and write 5 facts or more. My animal was a tiger.  I was going to do a cheetah but Leala said I couldn't do it because she was doing a cheetah.

Here is my tiger poster.

Reading follow up

Talofa lava, and welcome back to my blog. Today I will be telling you about what my group and I have been doing for follow up.  We have been doing water safety for the pass few weeks. For our 'must do' we had to make a poster about water safety. We could make it on paper or do it on a google drawings. I did it on my chrome book.  We read a book about surfing safety. There were some rules so I made them into a poster. I have fifteen ideas I put down on my poster.

Here is my water safety poster:

Writing

Kio ra and welcome back to my blog, today I will be talking about writing that we are doing for this term. We are doing Narrative writing. Our teacher gave us a photo to write about. Our teacher let us choose if wanted to do present tense or past tense. Present tense is when it happens now and past means it happened ages ago. For narratives you need similes, adverbs, adjectives, metaphors, description and different sentence starters. Every story would have to have a problem.  

Here is my narrative writing. 

As a guy walks through my front yard with a gun and gasoline, I rush to my backyard and hide in the garage. Bang! The sound of the guy in my front yard breaking into my house. He is aiming his gun while searching for me.

He opens the cap that's on the gasoline and pours it everywhere, searching for a lighter or matches. He finds the lighter that I use to make a fire. Throwing it onto the gasoline. "Whoosh" The sound of the fire lighting up and burning my house down. 

After the flames explode he takes out his gun and starts searching for me again. He yells " don't hide I know you're in the garage somewhere." I heard him so I ran to the fence'. 

Scraping noises from me trying to climb the fence but he catches me. He pulls me off the fence and drags me onto the ground. As I kick him in the stomach he falls on his head. I ran fast like a cheetah but he stands up and starts chasing me.

I haven't finished my story yet as the problem of the man is not fully resolved.
