Six-Sentences Story

Once Upon a Time there was a handsome boy named JayJay. He lived in a small cabin with the sight of a nearby river. He was a poor boy but he had the ability to heal anyone who was injured. The problem was, no one believed he was able to do this. He felt betrayed, but one day he saw a girl bleeding to death. He decided to heal the girl in front of the whole village, and that’s when the people made a celebration about this amazing save, and gave him the label, Chief.

The Hungry Wave

WALT: Read between the lines to understand the hidden meaning in the text.

Task Description -

This work was for week 3-4, since most of us didn't finish on week 3. Just as usually, Whaea Kelly gives us a school journal and picks a page so we can read about it, then answer the questions she has made for us. This article wasn't too bad, it wasn't easy or hard but I was able to finish it.

Life's A Stage - Last Term For 2019

Have you ever heard of the play Romeo & Juliet? A dramatic love story, written by William Shakespeare. How does this relate to my writing? Well, This is our last and final term and our theme that our teachers have chosen for us, is 'Life's A Stage'. Drama's, Fiestas and many more to come!

Is That Mr Burt? We walked into the hallway to see a random man with colourful afro hair and big yellow glasses but turns out the random man was Mr Burt! Mr Somerville, Mrs Tele'a and Mr Burt had something to show us. Is it Kind? Is it True?

Bippity Boppity Boo! Team 1 made a movie showcasing Cinderella and her four evil sisters. While Cinderella was cleaning around the house, the four sisters were dressing up in gowns and putting on lots of makeup. Dancing their way through corridors, Fairy God Mother popped out of nowhere and turned the four sisters into frogs. I guess that's a happily ever after?

We've Got Some Hula Girls In Mind! Team 5 did a little dancing performance for us. They danced to He Mele No Lilo which is originally from Lilo & Stich. One of the other dances were Git Up, and as we all know, this is one of the new challenges people have made. Do you know who Shakira is? One of her most famous songs is Waka Waka. They used some of the moves from just dance, so if other people knew it as well, they could join in.

In this immersion assembly, many people embarrassed themselves, trying to make others laugh. The good thing about this was that they were confident enough to get up on that stage and do the weirdest things ever. Being confident is one of the most powerful things I've experienced, but that doesn't mean being nervous is a bad thing either. A brave person is a person who shows their fear to others, letting out your fear takes courage, and that's what you call a brave person.

What's The Purpose Of School?

Most people say school is for learning and getting a good education, but is that the reason why we go to school? Many people in this world have different opinions on why we go to school, and most of the time, the answer is learning. Let me tell you what I think the purpose of school is.

Education. We mainly come to school to learn about things that'll get us a better job so we'll earn lots of money and have a better life. Teachers also teach us about all the cautions and dangers that could hurt us in life. If there were any robbers, they tell us to run as fast as we can and if not yell and scream at the top of your lungs.

Haven't you noticed that when you go to school, you get there and see all of the friends you've made? Socializing is a big thing for kids. If we were all homeschooled, we would all be scared to go out to places and meet new people. We wouldn't have the confidence and courage to talk to anyone because you would only be used to your family.

They teach us what foods are good for us even though we love eating junk. They help remind us what food we should eat to keep in better shape. What if we didn't know what foods would be bad for us? We could be eating foods that could kill us or foods that could get us sick.

Do you agree with my statements? Or do you have other reasons for what the purpose of school is? If you think about it, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and other people, have become billionaires, but they dropped out of school. School might not always be the answer, but most of the time, it's the best option. When you go to school, always listen and respect your teacher because you might regret it when you're older.

Mahy - Argument - Please Don't Take Drugs

WALT: Read fluently and accurately recognising and understanding punctuation. I focus on meaning and phrasing.
 

Task Description -

This little bug is Drugs and it can harm you in many ways so remember to Stop, Think & Do before taking drugs. Hope you enjoy your life without using drugs and stay healthy!

How To Be A Good Friend!

WALT: Write explanation writings

Betrayal, Fraud, Peer Pressure. Do these words describe a good friend? Do good friends tell your secrets without permission? In my opinion, It's a big no because we shouldn't do that to our friends, here's my explanation on how to be a good friend.

Someone who listens, A friend who listens is someone who cares about you and how you feel. A friend to lean on whenever your feeling emotional, a friend who gives you the advice to help you get through your problems. They wouldn't interrupt your conversation, but they would sit down and encourage you to move forward.

Honesty! Someone honest and truthful is the type of friends people like. They want friends who keep secrets and doesn't tell anyone their hardest times. If you have a friend who always tells you their secrets, that means they trust you to keep that away from everyone else.

Communication is a big deal with friends usually at the age of 12 and older. Friends love to communicate with each other 24/7. When a friend doesn't reply to the other, they think they're ignoring them for something they did. Make sure to contact your friends every day, every night, every morning or you'll be having nightmares in your sleep.

Have you been a good friend yourself? Do you think you're a good friend? Take my advice and be a good friend to all of those around you. Bad people make their lives worse even when they don't notice it. Take care of yourself and be kind!

Quote - "Best friends mock each other for every single reason,

Even if it's true, it still means they love you"

Africa Facts

WALT: Use the elements of an Information Report to write a report about different topics.

Do you have a place somewhere beyond the world that you would like to visit? One of the places that I've always wanted to go to is Africa! It may have lots of wild animals but nature is one of the things that I would love to learn about in the future. Here are some things about Africa that you might not know about.

Everyone knows that there are a lot of animals in Africa but did you know that there were penguins living there? You would've never thought that penguins would actually live in Africa but there is a colony living near the cape in South Africa. They are attracted to the cold currents there.

There are 54 countries in Africa - and 9 territories -with a total of more than 1.1 billion people living on the continent, which is 15% of the world's total population. Find a clickable Africa map here. Africa is the 2nd biggest continent so Africa's population is 1.216 billion.

I wish I could tell you more facts about Africa but I have no other ideas that include Africa. I hope you've learned something new about Africa (unless you are really smart and you already knew these facts) but i'm still learning more about continents and all the countries that are in those continents. Learning is something that we hate to do but it actually helps us so keep learning kids and you'll be successful in your life.

Task Description -

All I wrote about was some little facts about Africa. It's not much but this is all I could do so hope this doesn't break your eyes!

Kiwi Animal Facts!

WALT: Use the elements of an Information Report to write a report about different topics.

Have you ever heard of a type of animal named Kiwi? Do you know New Zealand's native animal? I will be telling you about NZ’s native animal and some facts that others didn’t know about.

New Zealand’s most famous native animal is endangered. Why? Approximately 27 kiwi’s are killed by predators every week. Ferrets, Possums and Pigs are the predators that kill kiwi’s nearly every day. Us New Zealanders haven’t seen kiwi’s in a long time so most people are certain that they’ll be gone many years from now. A Kiwi is a little brown fluff ball with a long beak. Kiwi’s are flightless – their Latin species name is Apteryx, which means wingless, It has feathers like hair, nostrils at the end of its beak and an enormous egg.

These were the only facts that I knew about Kiwi’s so I hope one day you’ll eventually learn more about them. If you ever get to see one do not scare it away, do not try to kill it because we are losing them by the second of it. I hope this learning helps you throughout this year and enjoy.

Task Description -

Just like the other weeks we have a topic and we write about it. Whaea Kelly gave us a choice to write about a place or something within New Zealand. I picked our native bird Kiwi. Reason why is because Kiwis are about to be extinct. Why? because all of the Kiwis predators are hunting them down every day of our lives and they have no protection because they are flightless. Just like a penguin they are a bird that cannot fly. This is what my writing is about and I hope you learn something new.

TACOS!!! For The Mexicans And Americans!

WALT: Recognize and use the Informational Writing.
Don’t we just love tacos! Did you know that this type of food was made in Mexico? I will be telling you about the amazing, delicious and most famous Mexican food….. TACOS!

Tacos! As we all know tacos are the greatest food/dish that we could ever have. America is one of the places that you would definitely find tacos and that’s because they eat TONS of tacos, they probably eat it every day! When it’s Taco Tuesday, no one messes around because it’s such a traditional/national day for all Mexicans and maybe even Americans! Tacos are so filling but the word taco means light lunch??? In my opinion, I would change it to FILLING lunch because I can get full on one taco. Did you also know that Taco was first created/made in the 1950s! Surprising right? Something that we love eating and still eat this present day has been around for so many years!

These are the only facts that I know about Tacos so I hope you enjoyed knowing these little facts about Mexico’s delicious tacos. Just remember TACOS WERE MADE IN MEXICO!!! Just a reminder to all those Americans who somehow don’t like Mexicans!

Malaysian Animals!

WALT: Understand the elements of informational writing.

Malaysia is a great place for all people to go to. Have you ever thought of going to Malaysia? Did you even know that Malaysia existed? Well, sit back and relax and here are some things about Malaysia's animals!

Java mouse-deer! What a weird name right? Well, this animal looks like a deer but is tiny like a mouse. When it reaches adulthood it is about the size of a rabbit, making it the smallest living ungulate. It is found in forests in Java and perhaps Bali, although sightings there have not been verified.

Rhinoceros hornbill! This majestic bird is a hornbill and has a unique  Rhino's horn that has similar colours to a Toucan's beak. It is found in lowland and montane, tropical and subtropical climates and in mountain rain forests up to 1,400 metres in Borneo, Sumatra, Java etc.

The Malayan Tiger... this tiger may look like a normal tiger but for some reason, it was Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List in 2015. Malayan tiger can reach 70 to 112 inches in length and 52 to 284 pounds of weight.

That’s about the only things that I know about
Malaysian Animals. Every animal can be weird and disturbing and others can be cute and cuddly but you never know which ones are dangerous so be careful around animals and don’t trust them!

Korero - Love The Difference!

Racism, Hatred, Intolerance! All of these words that don't belong in this world. Everyone is different! People can't say that others are really irritating and bothersome if they haven't even met them. People can have wacky hair and a really weird smile although they can be amazing and effective on the inside. Everyone has to appreciate and love the imperfections that others have so take my words and Love The Difference!
