Man and sea
For reading my class done questions about a book called "Man and sea". when we had finished the task we had to make a blog post of it so here is mine.
going outside in lockdown.
Last week my mum, two sisters and I went out on our farm to go for a walk and find the boundaries of our fence. First we had to go down my drive way and get to the gate to go for our adventure. I even brung a survival bag with water and food just incase. When we got to the gate the adventure began. the mud was like sinking sand and I had gotten stuck many times. The hills were tall but my family still concured them.the sun shone and the birds started to sing with the wind. I glanced up at the sky and my eyes started to water because I had looked up at the sun on accident. when we had made it back to the bottom of our hill my mum and sisters rode our quad bike back home but I wanted to push my self so I went up on foot. It was very hard and I was very proud of my mum, sisters and I for completing the walk and making it up the many steep hills. we had gotten lost on the way back. I might have gotten stuck a few times and my sisters fell over a bit but luckily nothing serious had happened and we got back home safely.
what I liked about the walk? - I liked being with my family in the outdoors and really pushing my self to do more.
What I could have done to make the activity better? - I don't think I could have done better.
Question - Are you a outside or inside person?
Thank you for reading my blog hope you have a good day!

Reduce.
Today we are learning about reducing to help the world live longer. Think about ways that will help even if your young you can still make a impact.
-you can recycle
-you could conserve power by turning off the lights when you leave the room.
- you could use electric cars or use public transport or even ride a bike because that makes you healthy and doesn't release gases.
- try to drive less
- turn off the tap when your not using the water
- shop wisely, bye goods from your country.
And always remember you can make a difference!

The figure of mysterys.
W.A.L.T use the power writing process to structure and write a narrative that intrests an audience.
"Crreeeckk" as the floor boards roared. "what was that?" I said, as I walked up the stairs the noise suddenly came to a end. I started to run up I tripped as a tall figure wearing all black clothes, when I got up the mysterious figure and all my stuff was gone in a flash. I ran to the phone but it was as burnt as toast on a monday morning.
So I ran outside and got ran over by a police car. When I woke up I was getting rushed into the hospital and then my head went blank. as my eyes went blurry I saw blood run out of my legs I fainted... to be continued.
What I did good - I used descriptive words.
what I could work on - writing more.

The horror in the bag.
Kia ora koutou for my writing today we had a story starter that was on a mysterious paper bag and we had to adapt on it I turned mine into a horror story here is my writing.
The horror in the bag -
One day Miss Cassidy brings a bag into school and leaves it on her desk then rushes out of the room with the speed of light, as the kids were wondering what they did wrong,
Cleo goes up to the bag and takes a peak inside and sees 5 mysterious creatures, as Mark started
to hear roaring echoing through the room, Cleos eyes wide in shock. The classes hearts leaped like
lightning as the mysterious creatures rose from the bag with a deadly smile that could stab
through your heart.
Just when the class noticed what was happening they jumped off their
seats and started to run in horror though it was already too late for most of them they had been
gobbled up by the hungry devils. Only Cleo and Mark had survived the attack
but just then a schoolshooter had busted through the hallway door and had
an AR-15! blood all on her face covered with sin and regrets. Cleo and Mark ran in fear they happened
to come across a closet
that they had never seen before they opened the old rotten door.
As it creaked they heard loud
footsteps they quickly hid in the closet and came across a box
that had a gun that even Mark's
gun expertise did not recognise. as Mark stared into the carved
writing it said est 1455.
As the footsteps got closer a roaring bell started to go off
they knew it would have been a lock down as they were about
to run the school shooter had come and shot both of them
through their brains and they fell in horror there last words
with blood flowing out of there mouths was never forget me.
THE END.
Aries' feedback: I like the use of the intense plot of the story and the
use of descriptive words to explain the characters. I think something
that would make this story better would be ]speech and onomatopoeia.
And I think most stories are supposed to have a solution.

Reading task.
For reading today we made a little scratch animation that is about 5 seconds from a bit in the story were it had two characters and what they were saying to each other and what they done. mine was the main character seeing a flying frog and saying wow its a flying frog.
What I found easy - basically nothing because in my coding areas I am not very strong.
What I could improve on - adding more movement.

The sneaky fox.
All week my class and I done writing about A fox in the woods and we had to adapt on the story starter and make our writing more interesting by using descriptive words and sentences. we had to use a bit of mystery in our writing to make it more interesting for the reader.
Here is my writing:
Sneaky fox-
One cold noon a girl named Amelia was taking a walk in the forest and noticed
a sneaky little fox in the side of her eye. As the fox crawled closer Amelia heard a voice and startled and wanted to run but before she knew it she was surrounded.
As she noticed what was happening she fainted
in shock. As Amelia started to open her eyes she noticed she had been
taken to the foxes burrow. she started to realise she wasn’t
dreaming but
yet it still felt like a fantasy story. Niko the leader of the foxes was also human
but did not understand English because he was raised by the former
leader of the foxes who had found Niko when he was just a baby
crawling out of a crashed helicopter when his parents had died, the only
reason why Niko had survived was from the cushion of his mothers
body when the helicopter had crashed. Niko had many hobbies such
as knitting, and also being an amazing scavenger with those skills
he could make Amelia some new clothes.
It has been a few years now and Amelia has started
to understand what Niko is saying by his body
language and has even adapted to the fox
ways of life. Amelia is now living in the
woods with a second life in the city
5 miles away. Every morning Amelia gets
up at 3:00 in the morning and walks to her
work (The Morning cafe). One day Amelia's
fox-like senses knew that this particular
day would be different from all other days.
Later that day while Amelia was at work her
mind was starting to tell her something was
up and started to worry. By the end of her
shift she ran home as fast as she could,
when she got home she wondered were
the sneaky fox had gone as she turned
around she saw a tall figure stand up
from a crawling position, as Amelia was
in confusion she stared closer into the
figures eyes and recognized the shiny
blue sparkle that reminded her of her
childhood, as he got closer Amelia got
a burst of happiness that felt like her
lost younger brother that had died in a
car crash 12 years ago on a nearby road.
As Amelia realized she had found her
brother her heart dropped, the one sneaky fox that had started all this fantasy land. THE END. Author-Rani McConnell

Math for Tuesday.
Today in math we done a riddle with addition. this was very easy for me and if I could do that math task again I would because it is enjoyable and hard. The only thing that I didn't know how to do is find out what the shapes meant.
REFLECTION:
What I think I done well - I think I done the adding well.
strategy in the future
What I found difficult - Finding out what the shapes meant.
How will I use this maths - to help me in adding.

sailing experience
Yesterday on the 22 march 2021 the year 7 and 8s went to Taipa sailing club to go out and learn how to sail in the open ocean. we got on the bus and started to head out to Taipa. we arrived and went to go sit in the shade while the instructors told us what we were doing.
We split up into two groups and the first group done sailing and the second group was doing the three activitys that we were assigned to rotate on, the three activitys were making different types of knots, the next one was trying to make a rope pull up 12 kgs and trying to lift it up with things that lift the sail on a sailing boat and the last activity was too make a boat out of tinfoil and see how much pebbles it could hold without sinking.
When we were ready to go out to sail in the deep ocean we got in our boats with our partners (I was with Sofia) we all got in a line of boats and got tied up to the instructors boat to get towed out to sea. when we got out we had to follow were the instructors boat was going on our own. at first I was the one controling the ruter and my partner Sofia was doing the sail. we got to capsize our own boat and jump out, we had to sail around and grab as much balls in the ocean as we could and who ever got the most balls won.
THE END.
