creative writing

In term 4 week 1 We have been Doing a tumble one of them were writing.We had to write about five different pictures,A insect,bush,roollercoaster ride,Temple and water fight.I wrote about four but here is my favourite.





(Start here)It’s a bright day in a forest and people are hiking,They want to catch some food to eat So they went  to the lake and tried to catch some fish.They could not catch one,but suddenly the saw a deer run through the bushes and trees the hikers tried to chase the deer but it was to fast jumping with his four legs.Suddenly the deer went inside this door and escaped through the exit.The hikers came inside they could smell this rotten food running through their nose some hikers ran out far to get some fresh air but a group of hikers were brave to smell  this rotten food
continue) The group of hikers hid behind the leader saying
what was that strange noise ? the leader said its its its a wild bunny the hikers
came out of behind and said we knew that was not something scary.They were
wondering what this place was but one said look at that big branch doing on top
of the entrance door i don’t know, one of the hikers said This house is old and
rusty and another one said it’s a temple. Rocks were on the floor and brown
dusty dirt  was smoking out dirty air.This place smells horrible it’s like the smell
of my grandma and the hiker said you can say that again.I can hear the rocks
from the top rushing and rumbling down with the herd of rocks below them.
The rocks are grey and hard and trees are above the entrance door to.It looked
like it was a secret thing about someone's secret passage.They discovered the
place out but what could be inside.They found this button but what could it do
one of the hikers went flying in the air because the floor from below had a spring
 They found another button it made a tiger come out of the cage and two hikers
came running buy out of the temple Another button came  and it made a hole for
a hiker to drop the lid closed The last five hikers were left with the leader they
found a button and the five hikers went in this room and bars came to cover them
from the room and they were stuck.What could happen to the leader.The leader
shook with fear and ran outside with the other hikers the leader said go in all
seven of you.They went inside and  two hikers got chased by a lion and a
panther.One of the hikers got chained up and got to the side.three of the hikers
got blocked by guards and couldn’t escape.there was one hiker left that  stuck to
a chair with his hand behind and his mouth taped So it was only the leader left.
He ran through the bushes and dashed home as fast as he could leaving the
hikers behind
This was my favourite because it was descriptive

descriptive words

Hi bloggers,in writing term 2 we were writing about a picture.I chose a haunted house and it wasn't that spooky.We had to describe the picture and label it.Next we had to write the words into a sentence.Here is my one.

WALT describe a scene    WALT use descriptive words
HAUNTED HOUSE
.
The black spooky house sat in a neighborhood of its street.An grey hard pathway leaded to the
black spooky house.The short herd of the grass was surrounding eachother like a herd of
penguins.There was long dark decorations and a dark thundering sky above the house.A black \
spooky roof was above the spooky house. And An old long pole was near the house sitting an
that old same rusty place.There was a skinny barky tree right next to the spooky house.There
were tall long windows that were made out of glass.The brightness light were flashing and was
bright.there was a wooden door opening and closing well the light were flashing on and of and
also a white dirty fence sitting next to the spooky house.There was a big smokey chimney above \
the roof there were rotten dark leaves falling from the trees and pigeons flying around the roof
and bats flying everywhere and spiders crawling around the floor and also flies buzzing around
my ears.the next door were screaming as loud as a elephant stopping and creepy skeletons
were running around saying happy halloween.there were witches flying with there brooms and
clowns wandering around and werewolves howling at the moon.

Hi bloggers,on the 26th of July 2018 on Thursday our school had a new playground opening.  Mr Craig and Miss Mcgrath were the ones to cut the ribbon for our new playground.  We sang 2 songs: best day of my life and tena kotou because it was a special occasion for our playground . Our kapa haka group sang a song with Whaea Anita.  They sang koreo as a whole group. Then each class got to go to the playground to have a play but Mr Craig and Miss Mcgrath had to cut the ribbon to go on it.   All of us counted down to 3 2 1 cut it they didn't open it then, then we counted down again 3 2 1 and than everyone screamed and then the ribbon was cut .   The seniors had to take a partner that was a junior. They had to take their junior partner to the playground to play.   We got to go to the slide and the zip line and the monkey bars. Then each class had to sit down and take their buddy.  The bell rang and everyone had to go class.  Then lots of children came running for the playground,now the playground is open for everybody.

technology challenge

Circuits
 Hi bloggers today all of Te waka ako  were doing some technology work for term three on Fridays.
First I did the circuit with Mr Riceman. We had to get a little battery and a light switch thing. Then we had to find a way to switch the light on. We had paper and a wrapper. Then when packed up we had to break it up for the other people. It was a bit challenging. It was quite hard and I felt confused and excited at the same time but it still went good. We had to pack up and break all the pieces to reuse them.


Geoboards

In term 3 week to we did geoboards with Ms Sands and Mr Kim. We had to cut wood with a saw and it had to be 12 centimetres. We got in groups of four and got a long wooden wood to cut. Then we had to put dots on the geoboard 2 centimetres apart and then we had to go over it with a marker. Next we had to grab a hammer and put the nail and hammer it where the dot was. It took a while, then we could put any kind of coloured rubber band on the geoboard. Then next we were finished.



Marble Race

The last task on week 3 term 3 it was the marble challenge with Mr R. We had rules and we also had to work as a team. We had 45 minutes and we had to work together. I had Ehsan, Rua and Jacob. The materials we had was a straw, paper, a plastic cup, tape and the marble. We got the paper and curved it and taped it to the other paper.  The cup was our start. The straws we did not use. Mr R was taking photos while we were building.

persuasive writing

Hi bloggers,its Callum,In writing we did persuasive writing.The writing was about cats vs dogs.We had to give reasons about why they are better here is my writing.


Dogs are better than cats because they are very kind and lovely.Dogs are very helpful because they can sniff and they can guard your house.They have soft and smooth fur.Dogs have
strong healthy teeth.
have wiggly tails.They are cute because they are cuddly and  have powerful barks.Dogs are clever and smart thinkers like a scientist. They are good friends because they can protect you. They are happy to see you when you come home.Dogs are energetic too because they keep you fit and fast.They can keep you safe.Dogs can catch cats out of your yard or garden.Dogs are speedy and fast . They can do jobs for you like police dogs and firefighter dogs.They  are so many types of dogs like German Shepherd, Bulldog, Puppies, Poodle, Stray Dogs and Dalmatians. There are not that much kind of cats.Dogs are intelligent.



 
Dogs are helpful but cats are lazy and just sit there and never listen. dogs are braver than because cats are afraid of water and dogs. Dogs can smell people that were around the house.When the cats do there job it just like to lick their paws and do not care about the job there doing. When the dogs puppies are born they look very cute and fluffy and there skin feels smooth.When the cats kittens are born there just like their mother .The kitten just sits there like their mother. They are lazy like their mother .They do not get the job done.They even  copy what their mothers do.So people who have cats give it away or put it in the bin.Get a dog because they're awesome and smart. I think dogs are better than cats because they always get the job done and there are so many kinds of dogs.Cats are not clever and don't use their brains. Cats are not awesome.
Thank you for reading my writing please comment if you like cats or dogs and anyway how can I Improve my writing.
