2013 Reflection

It has been so tough this year with all the learning and practising. It was quite fun learning from teachers like how to impact my writing so the audience can enjoy it and keep on reading until the end. I learnt that from Mr Somerville.I have also learnt more shapes because I only used to know a few but more this time and I learnt it from Mr Marks.

Did you know not only other people can teach you, you can teach yourself and I taught myself how to encourage people to do what they are scared to do. Even more. My friends taught me thing as well, so it isn’t only the teacher that has been teaching people. It is also some friends and my friend taught me how to help others when they are feeling down.

Not finished. I have also learnt how to use more manners from my aunty! They taught me that because I was using bad words. The manners they taught me was to not be racist, learn better words than bad words and also be kind to each other.

Not only my friends taught me, I also taught them something as well. I taught some of them how to make their animations more interesting in adding more pictures and making it look real by moving the object a tiny bit.

Having fun is the sun at Cornwall Park

"Can we go to Cornwall park, all of our family is going" I moaned to my mum. "Okay okay we'll go just to stop you guys from begging and moaning" My mum replied. So we waited for 12:00 O'clock to come.  1hr later we left to Cornwall park and we saw all of our family. They came with some balls to play with and also food!! We came with food as well and only one ball.

We started the games but first we put up the volley net so we can play volley. Then my aunty grabbed the rugby ball so we can play some kicks. I first played volley and our team was winning but then I left to play kicks with my aunty and my sister. We were kicking and kicking and then the ball hit Zion's head. We were all laughing but then we still carried on with our games. 

Then the children left the volley and kicking game and went to play our own game. It is a Samoan game called Lape. It is like baseball but you hit the ball with your hand and the ball is a volleyball!! We run to 4 bases thou and then it includes the last one witch is 5. If we get hit by the ball we are out, but I was captain and if I got hit the whole team would've been out but if only one person is out then I have to try and get them back in by running all the way round to the last base!! It was enjoyable.

I loved that Saturday. We were playing and playing until the rain came and we had to go back home!! But we enjoyed that day because we won Lape and my favourite bit was when my uncle was chasing me to try and tag me with the ball!

Playing the Guitar

"Teach me how to play the guitar" I said to my sister (Zion). "Okay okay so you can stop begging" Replied Zion so we went down stairs and played the guitar. She had a guitar and I had another one. I told her to teach me how to play "Stand by me." So she played it and played it but it was too hard so I just know how to play the first bit of Stand by Me.

Narrative Practise (Farming)

One day a family of two brothers (Max and John) were so hungry for veggies. They went outside to their garden and wanted to wet it with the hose. As soon as Simon went inside to get the hose, he looked and looked but someone stole it.

They were so worried because there stomachs were growling at them and it was so sore. They wanted to make some food with the veggies for lunch but they didn’t have a hose to water it. Then they got a plan but it would of took a while.

They went to a shop where heaps of building or helping things are and they found a hose. They were so happy but when they brought it, it cost a lot of money. It was $115. But lucky they had enough money. They got home and were so excited and then Max said “John can you go get the oven read while I water the plants” So John left happily.

Max finished watering the plants and then 10 minutes after they got the veggies out of the ground and chopped it up. They first did the carrot and then the pumpkin. “Max put it in now put it in” Said John.....So Max put it in and then it was ready. They were excited for their food making.

Sorry for publishing this late:)

Writing test Narrative

John heard a whisper but no-one was there. He couldn’t see anyone or anything so he then ran in his house and said his mum “I heard a whisper and it sounded like a man was going to kidnap someone” So she replied “Let's go see and if he does we’ll do something to pay him back.” So they left with the car and drove as fast as they can.

They got to the place where John heard the whisper and they saw a random man walking around with a knife and a bandana over his mouth and nose. They got scared but they still went closer and closer to the man (Simon). They were still looking until Simon ran somewhere and they got scared and ran off.

“Got you” Simon said while grabbing John. “Leave my son please please just put him down and we’ll leave you alone and we’ll do nothing” The mum said while crying. Simon replied “You better catch me but I bet you won’t because i may be faster than you!”

The mum left to the car and drove off to their house. She rang her family but they didn’t answer so she left a message and said “My son has just got kidnapped, please come help me if you get this message.” She locked the house and closed all the windows and then went back.

She saw Simon and he was holding her son like a cat. Simon ran fast as to a really dark place with heaps of trees behind it. That place had a fence. She drove there and she was watching him with her big eye. Simon dropped John and said “Stay down there and wait till I come back” So John listened but didn't do as he said.

It was 5 minutes later and john ran away and that five minutes was when simon came back and saw John running. He ran and ran and caught him again so then he took him back to the dark and scary place. He dropped John again but this time he did it 3 times. Then he picked him up and went inside.

The mum was watching and then caught her eye on the knife he had in his back pocket. She tried to run until she’d get to the knife but he grabbed it out of his pocket and was about to stab John. The mum shouted “NOOOOOO.” She was there and then kicked Simon away from her son.

“John bring me your phone so I can call the cops” The mum said. But Simon heard and tried to run off but lucky the mum was so fast she caught him. 111 the mum called and then the police’s got there. She told them all about it and then took Simon to jail and the others took the mum and John back home....Then the mum told John to never let a stranger near him or you never go near a stranger.

Then the next morning he went outside and heard another whisper but much more loud and scary. He went and told the mum and did the same thing...

THE END!!

Halloween

WALT: Show not tell

As the sun setted in its place 1 group of people came knocking on our door. I was relaxed on the couch to lazy to get it and I shouted to my sister "GET THE DOOR." So she ran down the stairs and twisted the knob of the front door. She was scared but it was Cecilia's friends.

Rousie Retell

This is a retell about a story called Rousie..I
am retelling it in a maximum of 10 sentences.
By the way it is about her not me!! Enjoy!

It was the October shearing and dad brought down a mob of sheep.....there are fifteen hundred of them. Our dogs are great and the large strongly built dog gets in behind and eye dogs - they can hold a hole heap of sheep just by looking at them. The sheep have to be clean for the shearing so we put them in the shed for a night. 6 o'clock breakfast there are still jobs to do in the morning like feed the dogs and give milk to the lambs too...and when he wraps himself around my leg I always forget to get angry/grumpy. Then I am down to the shed, I'll be helping as a Rousie all day. I have to spread each fleece on the table and sort the very good wool away from the dirty wool. We drink moko and my stomach feels better but it really doesn't last that long. Then suddenly that is it we have all fifteen hundred, just the baaing of the white fluffy animals and the barking of the dogs. Finally we just need to do the truck and let the sheep out, there a bit lighter then before. Now it was time to clean up and relax...AAH and then finally the wool goes away and it feel good looking at your neat work you have done!

My friends!

 This is a presentation about my friends!! ENJOY!:)

Our run in the Morning

Every morning in school days we go for a run. We start our run at 10:45. Our three classes (16, 17 and 18 all go together but sometimes only one or two classes go for a run. My best part of running is running together with my friends.

We start from the breeze and then we run out of the door. Then we finish by entering the door of the breeze. But all the time we run on the concrete. Do you like running? Well I do because it makes me fit and a bit faster.

Roller Coaster Narrative

It Margarines cousins birthday and they celebrated it by going somewhere people can play. In that place there is a roller coaster and a fear fall, but there are much more than that. She was so excited that she even invited her friends Sophie and Maggie.

She invited Sophie by calling on the phone. “Hello Sophie’s mum, can your daughter please come to my cousins birthday?” Margarine said politely. “Sure she can but she will just get ready” Replied the mum. Then she gave a call to Maggie’s house and the mother said the same thing.

15 Minutes past and the two friends got to Margarines house. Margarine was so excited that they could come. Margarines birthday cousin (John) was turning 7 years old and he was getting dressed. He was wearing a t-shirt that had the number 7 on it.

He was all ready and it was time for them to go rainbows end. John couldn’t wait to get there because it would of took 35 minutes to get to rainbows end from there house. The three friends (Margarine, Sophie and Maggie) were so happy they even planed there day.

The time has passed to get there and they hopped out of the car and ran through the door to rainbows end. But John’s mum (Ana) shouted “HEY HEY GET OVER HERE WE HAVE TO PAY FIRST” so they came back and were waiting with Ana and John.

She payed $340. They were worried that they didn’t have enough and they didn’t. So Ana asked the kids if they had any money so then they put all together and it was enough.

As soon as Ana finished paying it they ran off to the roller coaster. They had to see what their height was and one person was to short which was Maggie. So Maggie had to wait for the other two after they had a ride, but while she was waiting she was looking so sad.

When they finished their ride they came back to Maggie. “Are you ok Maggie?” Margarine said while rubbing her back. “Yes yes but it is just that I wanted to go onto the roller coaster” Replied Maggie. Then they asked her if she wanted to go onto another ride that will make you happy and she said yes.

Then they went to the invader and she was happy there so after every ride they would go there just for their friend Maggie.

Farming Fish (Retell)

In a village called Togori on the island of Makira in the Solomon Islands lives a boy named Richard Bekaraifaka and his uncle is the Chief (or Bigman) for their village. In Togori, their fish is very important to them and they go fishing everyday but only if the weather is nice and fine and if the sea is calm, but if the weather is bad and rainy or the sea is rough, they have to go without fish. Richard’s Uncle, Isaiah decided that he was going to make a way for people to catch fish even when the weather is bad and rainy. So he told the village that he was going to attach some pipes from the river to them to keep flowing with water so the water would go from pond 1 all the way to pond 3 then back to the river and dig out some ponds. It took the village 1 and a half years to dig out the ponds because they could only dig early in the morning and in the evening since it was so hot. They were able to put the fish in once the pond was full and was attached to the pipes. The family of Richard still have to look after their ponds and his job is to give the fish some food and make sure that no branches or sticks get stuck into the pipes to stop the water from flowing. Richard is very happy that he helped his uncle because now, the whole village can enjoy fish for dinner even when there is bad weather. Richard has lots of jobs but he favourite part is catching fish and eating them for dinner!

An Organic Orchard (Rettell)

I think nature is a lot of see-saws. It settles in position when it moves up and down. As soon as we stop spraying the plants, we had a tremendous infestation of red mire and thrips. It was very frightening. The orchard was our livelihood and, suddenly, all our fruit has been damaged by insects.

There was a lot of trouble in the North as soon as the Beetle 1 came. We know that some time ago, the DSIR 2 released a parasite here that attack the eggs of the green beetle. The red mite and thrips disappeared. Oh! See this wasp' nest? No, honest they do not sting unless you get very close to them.

We've have the yellow German wasp here too. We have more flies when they come into our house. To make the compost, we cleaned out under the several sheep sheds. I'm a great believer in "heavy mulching". I get fish waste from the fish and chip shop, and soak it in that vat of water.

The birds have fun here, they use to particularly stay in every tree of ours last year. The Macadamia tree is different to others. Thats your nit than other Macadamias. So I say "Right! Thats your tree and you leave the rest of the Orchard to us.
