I found myself amongst dinosaurs

Topic: I found myself amongst dinosaurs

One morning, I woke up and found myself amongst a bunch of terrifying dinosaurs.

I was frightened to death, dead for sure.

I jumped out of bed, which actually turned out to be a rock. I looked down at such a hard pillow. I asked myself, “How ever did I get here?”

I started running, a dinosaur was heading my way.

I had to get out of this dream. Of course this wasn’t the real world.

“Come on, come on, something has to work for me to wake up.

I had just pinched myself when the dinosaur got directly behind me, how fast could it run?

“Well, at least I got out of that horrible place, I’m gonna go and get me some - wait, I’m still…”

I turned around and saw the dinosaur again, licking its chops like crazy.

“WHAT!”

I started running again, hoping that I would escape the monstrous beast, and I found myself out to be lucky. I ran into a bush nearby, the fast runner/dinosaur, couldn’t see me anymore.

I reached down the pocket of my pants and found my phone. “Yes! I can finally call mum.” At least, that’s what I thought. Turns out, phones weren’t made those days, in the past. But I knew I wasn’t in the past for sure. I was in the present. Wait, if I was in the past, then how did I still have my phone. Oh yeah, brought it with me. But, turns out that the world had only begun.

This is a short narrative story about me finding myself in the dinosaurs territory. I like this a lot because I got to make up stuff from my own imagination.

Prototec Maths

This is my work on prototec. Prototec is a site that my whole class goes on to work, in the morning. It is basically our morning thing to do, and once we are done, we either post it on our blog, or place it into a document by taking a screenshot of what we have done. 

This was a little challenging, because when I got up to the fractions and percentages, I didn’t know some of them. I got 6/10 in that category. I also got 9/10 in the Sqrs, Roots and Factors category, but got 2 10/10’s in the first categories.

I liked this level because the challenge taught me a lot of things. Like sqrs are stuff like square roots.

I also got 30% on stage 8 during my journey on prototec. This one was a lot more challenging, with difficult equations and things like that.

Here is my screenshot of my progress.

It’s Spring

It’s spring It’s spring the time of fun

It’s spring, time to play in the sun

We’ll sit down and relax under a tree, by its stud

And make ourselves at home by eating some tasty spuds

We only have a little, we only have a few

but we can just get up and do something new

We can play hop scotch (hop hop hop)

We can play hop scotch and hop until we drop

We will lay down on the grass so green

And stare at all the pretty flowers

The loveliest flowers I’ve ever seen

I could gaze at them for hours

As the sun, from the clouds is emerging

It hits me with its beautiful rays, burning

We can watch some new plants be born

And out of them will come little corn

The skin of it will be very fresh

Hahaha, on the corn, the leaves look like a dress.

It feels so calm, the beautiful air

I think that the weather is also so fair

The sun today is so hot, so warm
You don’t need a raincoat today, there is no storm

As the clouds cover the sun, just as it starts to get warmer

It comes out again peeking its head around the corner

I see a gardener as he heaves

A handful of brown, yellow, red and green leaves.

We look back down at one of the growing plants

It looks like a dancer with a ballerina stance

We should play some netball, who first is gonna shoot

We play our game whilst someone nearby is playing the flute

We go down to the beach, leaving the little sprouts to grow

WOW look at the water, it has a cool flow

It’s spring it’s spring a lot of joy it will bring

My favourite season is (you already know) spring!

This is my work on a poem about spring.
I think that this helped me to learn to use better and more descriptive words in my writing, so that I can improve. I like my choice of words and matter. I also like how the first words and second words in the first part of my poem fit together in the story. I will now use a lot more descriptive and fun rhyming words in my writing, to show that I can improve and learn heaps.

Adding Fractions 16916

This is what I did in maths today. I liked this math activity because it shows me how to add fractions with different denominators in a lot of different ways.

Recount on the powhiri

Recount on the powhiri

This morning, the maori kapa haka group did a special performance for some of the staff from Wairakei School in Christchurch, a powhiri. A powhiri is a traditional way for maori to greet people. It was AWESOME! I was a part of the performance. First, we had to stay in our position stance as soon as Matua Shaun called….

“TUMATAUENGA”

It was a bit long we had to wait, but, as soon as Gordon started off with the wero, we knew it wasn’t long to go.

Next, after Gordon had finished the wero, Memory started her Kai karanga, which, after it was said, echoed all across the school hall. After Memory’s wonderful welcome, Misty, who was on the other side with the Wairakei staff members, made her call. Then, As I had finished mine, Jolie gave her all…

“A HEI RUNGA HEI RARO.”

Everybody followed after her and began with the haka powhiri.

It was a beautiful performance, the boys with their taiaha, and the girls with their rau.

Even the teachers and students were absolutely impressed!

After we finished our song, Ka Pioioi, Mr Hendricks had his say, and then the visitors

Sang a song they had been learning and working on.

After the school’s principal koreroed to us a bit about himself and his working at school, it was the end of the performance.

I was a bit bummed that our performance was complete, but at least we had fun and had a good time.

In the end, we sang the kapahaka group medley, which was one of my favourites.

I was relieved it was finished but also wanted to do something just like that, again.

I felt so happy to have performed for some staff from another place.

It was so cool because they came from Christchurch, but I was also chosen as an embassador, which I was so happy about.

I got to meet them all again!

THE END

A recount needs to be past tense

It is something that has already happened

It has the 5 main words

Who what when where why and the extra… How

It needs to be descriptive

It needs to be a story that has…

First

Next

Then

After that

Therefore

Whatsoever

etc.

Meeting Wairakei School

Today we met some staff members, and the principal from Wairakei school in Christchurch.
I took a photo with the school's principal... Shane Buckner.
My friend Malae photobombed it.
