Hula-hoop recount

Who: Room 8

What: hula-hoop challenge

When:wednesday 16th october

Where: hard court outside our class.

First we lined up outside and listened to the instructions,
next we headed to the hard court and we held hands and
got in a circle. When we were all settled miss parrant gave us
a purple hula-hoop to go around, so what we did was put our
feet in first then head and pass it to the next person, or it could
go head first then feet in. After we warmed up we split up in
two groups of girls and boys. Well obviously the boys went first
and they thought they won but they got a penalty from my
teacher. Then the girls went and we won fair in square but the
boys got a bit jealous and called us losers but we didn’t mind,
because at the end of the day, they are just a bunch of losers
when they mock the winners but it was just a game and we all
had fun.

The end

Fortunately Unfortunately

Fortunately: These girls were having a nice quiet chat on the room 8 class mat. 

 Unfortunately: Lee came and interrupted our conversation and started copying us.

Fortunately: me and Mele waited for a bit, then once the time came we started teasing him by copying
his moves  and he started to get sick of the pay back he got coming back at him. 

Unfortunately: He just grabbed three boys and sat up so he got more attention from Miss Parrant.

Amazon Rainforest

Hi we are professor’s samantha and rosario , i am going to explore the
amazon
forest in brazil located in south america, my things i have in my bag is dry ice
and
some liquid i will test on the snakes, my other equipments are pots, filters,
cups,
toilettree, food and knives.

Rosario story: I was stuck in the jungle full with creatures and trees and all other kinds,
it all started while i was walking in the wood then i heard something then i followed the sound
of it then once i stop to the sound was it stopped then I was thinking “i’m i just going crazy?” then i
notice that i was lost so i try to found my way out.

AFTER ONE HOUR OF BEING IN THE FOREST

So after walking around looking terrified of what is going to happen to me i keep thinking
that i’m going to be okay. But i was carrying a bag with me that i pack when i was going to the forest
so what i had in my bag was a water bottle just in case i’m might get thirsty then next is that i have toilet
paper, foods, and other stuff you’ll be needing. Once so i took out my water bottle and my food and start
eating because I was hungry, AFTER 20 MINUTES EATING. Then i once heard a trap so I wonder
what was there, I walked until I saw the trap and saw a girl i ask her what was her name and she
said, “Hi I’m Samantha what’s your name?” then I replied “Oh Hi yes my name is Rosario do you need
a hand?”. And Samantha said “yes please” So I helped out with her with the traps and all the stuff  that
we need to do. So after a while of setting up the traps and the other stuff to catch any creatures like a
snake, alligators and a lot of those other stuff. Once so we need to build our house that we need to sleep but there was no other thing’s but just wood but don’t know how to cut it up. So we just lay in our bags and use the Leaves

Samantha’s story: So i am up in a tree, i am grabbing my rope so i can make a trap,
once i trap the anaconda snake i will add my dry ice to it, then i will put the freezing liquid on it
then i will cut the skin and take it back to the country i came from off the plane.

AT THE AIRPORT IN MY COUNTRY

We got picked up from a family member in a van that was big enough that people thought
i was a bus, when we were traveling back to our studio i had left my liquid there, but i didn’t
worry as i had spears back at the studio so we carried on driving, once we got to the studio we
made some wallpapers to decorate our plain wall, all of us professors were sick of looking at
white walls, especially when it’s a professor studio. I think professor’s never have white walls,
it’s just too plain to work with when we are studying, never mind about the walls, and we all
worked happily ever after.

THE END.

Picture dictation.

we draw a Medium sized Square in the middle of the paper and then a triangle on the Top of Square and then to Two windows and then a flag on top of the triangle and two trees next to the square And then we had to draw birds and the sun and some little goldfish in a pond And then it looked like a house.

If we got caught in a fire we would travel from a plane to another country but the airplane blew up and
landed on sand and grass, me and my three friends were scared because we didn’t know where we
were. We first explored the whole island, and finally found a place to camp out, but the place we have
chosen was right in front of the area we started with so we quickly got set up because we are tired,
we saw an television so we decided to watch something then we got a clue on the show to get the house for
free so we all said ‘yes we want this home there is no one that can bother us’ so we stayed at the island
to keep safe and stay safe, we finally set off with our stuff we needed to go looking for some clues.
We found one clue, two clues, three and the last one four clues, we felt great about ourselves and
thought we wouldn’t have to call anyone and just in-case someone is spying on us through the phone
well basically listening to us. We tried to make it our best time in a island of our own. My four friends
were called Sauma, Patience, Victoria and Latisha. Hey wait i just saw a turtle a mother one and a young
one and there is a fish that looks like nemo and dory i wonder if a staff of the aquarium has dropped
one of their tanks or let them out.

Athletics Technique Reflection

Today my team and I  Did a reflect of how running really works and so we can learn how to keep fit and why keeping fit could basically change our life and you can have some fun along with it.                     I followed this task

My narrative

follow this to see what i did
Your narrative:

Characters? Tāne Hokahoka, Tāne māhuta

Setting? Forest

Problem?the tree is dying because kiwi was not home

Solution? The tiger came and helped and with the hawks going to a different country

Hi my name is Zyla A long, long, long long time ago there was these two people named Tāne hokahoka and Tāne māhuta they went to go look for kiwi since they knew that he was the only one but instead they found a white tiger but it was weird because the white tiger was in kiwi’s space where they always meet but the white tiger did alright then a hawk came and since Tāne māhuta and Tāne hoka hoka was guardian of the forest the hawk was coming after them but until the hawk saw the white tiger so they went to a different country. After that the bugs came and started eating the trees because they knew that kiwi wasn't there but they did not know that the white tiger was there so when the white tiger showed himself and so the bugs ran away and they went to the other part of the forest that is dying so they really did not care because those were fake trees and they put perfume so they die and don’t come back. At the end of the day the forest was protected from all the barriers they have put up from the fake trees. !00 Years later… there was people visiting The tree then one person started taking pictures and put it on the internet and so people started copping them and it went viral so when people go past the sign they go and take a photo or video.

So they went to the basin but before that they saw a secret hidden place so went in and they saw this place and they did not know what it was but then they saw a stream and so patience said “why not” and Bella said “why not what” then patience said “ why not we should go into the stream because it is so hot right now. So they went into the stream and Victoria spotted a dirt patch so they went into their bags and grabbed a rope and they wanted Victoria to go up but she did not want to hold up all of her friends. So she got up and she saw a house but the thing is she could not get down but instead they got up and they cleaned up the house then they got everything they needed so Patience went to go get her parents and her friends parents so they lived up there The end.

Hi and today we did another narrative for this week.

That really stinks.

That Really Stinks








WALT identify the characters, setting and problem in a narrative story.


WALT write an engaging solution to the problem in a narrative story.






Watch the story starter for the story, That Really Stinks.





Plan for your writing:





Characters: Sam and Jackson and the crocodile


Setting: Bathroom, Sewer


Problem:





Write the ending for the story. When he hides behind the big rock
he shows himself and they started laughing but afterwards they got
a fright because Sam had said “you need to give the phone back to me”
but the lucky thing is the monster’s dropped it but when they ran away
they dropped the phone even though that’s one lucky thing because
Sam’s sister was waiting for him out of the bathroom but he would not
answer so Sam’s sister opens the door but she never finds Sam in the
bathroom because he got taken by some old type of creature, when Sam
gets the phone he tells the crocodile to go inside the bathroom again
and finally he gets back but Sam’s sister was looking at Sam with
a vicious look and said “where were you and what happened to my phone”
but Sam did not say anything that is part of the answer because he was
scared that the tentacle stuff will come back and take the both of
them but Sam’s sister said tell me the truth so Sam had to tell
His sister the truth but what had happened next? So Sam told her
the truth and the tentacle monster come so Sam and his sister were
so surprised just for the truth, Then the tentacle monster took them
where down the sewer again, they were lost but Sam got his new pet
crocodile that he never mentioned to his sister, so he said “Out we go”
so the crocodile went and chased the tentacle monster
quietly and safely till they saw them coming to hunt for them so Sam,
his sister and the crocodile went around the rock they were behind
and succeed and they were saving all the people that were in the kitchen
and there was only one more until they heard the monster crew coming
closer and closer so they used teamwork and they did the same
thing they did before is hide behind the rock and go around while
the monsters are walking towards the kitchen and they realised that
the people were gone then this little monster realised them and said
hey there they are so the monsters were coming after them so the
crocodile went faster and faster but they saw a secret shortcut
and pretended to go the other way so they went up the shortcut
while the monsters were wondering some random place and they
said bye to the crocodile but when they went back inside the bathroom
they took the people they had saved back home but before that they
had a shower before going home when they were finished since they
were all girls Sam’s sister handled it and let Sam have a bit of a
rest from this big day. The end.

When i go to school i play with my friends and when i see one of my friends we keep looking for each other while we are playing but when we  are all together we go and play, then we go to the village and play till the first bell rings but then we feel like going around the school before going to class but when we are nearly at class the bell rings so we have a race to get to class first but it’s always bella that’s the fastest to get to class. When we get inside we get a chair and then we put it somewhere on the same table as each other then we get our chromebook and put it in the same place as our bags but on the table, then we rush into our lines for class but me, victoria and bella are in the same line so we need to be together and can’t be separated from each other well that’s what we say, then when we get to work we get together but sometimes patience goes somewhere else so she can get her work done but when we are without her we are quiet because she talks sometimes with us but when it’s something to do with silent she works somewhere else like i said but i feel normal when we go and play because we go to our favourite spot and we go and play there every school day. when the bell rings to go to class we go and run to class and again bella wins but i mostly walk to class because it’s not that far from our class though. When our teacher arrives we go to class with her

My intro to term 4

Explain what you are going to be sharing in this writing: In this writing i am going to
be talking about art because this term is about art well not any type of art, cave drawing
is the goal for this term but we need to move the body like the other term was named

(move ya’ body) and it was all about athletics because we had some exercise and we
did cross country.

Based on our immersion assembly item and the inquiry name, what do
you think we are going to be learning about this term/ what do you think we will
be doing?We will be doing cave drawing for this term.

→

How do you feel about this term’s inquiry topic? Great and happy because i kind of
love art but my main thing at school is maths.

What are you finding challenging/difficult at school at the moment?
There is nothing that is difficult at the moment.

→

What do you think could help you overcome these challenges? It would help
because if i get stuck i can just look in my paragraphs.

What do you want to achieve this term/ what are your learning goals?
My learning goals is Narrative because sometimes it’s hard to think of a character
or a place to use just for the narrative

→

How can your teachers support/ help you with achieving these goals?

→

Do you think the inquiry will help you achieve your goals? How?

How do you feel looking ahead at term 4? Are you excited/ nervous?
Any other emotions? Explain why you feel this way.

Step 5: Begin writing in full sentences/ paragraphs, using the plan above to help you.
Hello, welcome to my blog, it’s term 4 now and we are happy to come back and to
have a good time with our friends while you are at it you can read it to your friends.
Anyway This term we are learning about cave drawing, cave drawing is what the people
who yous to live in the cave left some drawing so people could communicate for
people to know where they are or what they have been doing. So when they go
somewhere people could just look at it and they could see the story.
