Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 3 Pt 2

This week is the first week of Summer Learning Journey. This is Week 1 Day 3 Activity 2.

Some pros are: 

1. You get to see endangered animals that not a lot of other people would get to see. 
2. You get to spend a whole lot of time with awesome animals.
3. You get to work in the nature and not in a office. 

Some cons are:

1. You can get hurt by animals.
2. You see animals dying.
3. You might have to move far away from your family.

I would absolutely want to be a DOC Ranger, because I love animals and being able to help species that could never be seen again. Plus you would be able to always be in nature. Anyways I would just love to work with animals. So Yes I would want to be a DOC Ranger.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 3 Pt 1

This week is the first week of Summer Learning Journey. This is Week 1 Day 3 Activity 1.

My beast is a half Lizard half Hawk. It is called Lizhawk. It is about the size of an adult cat, with green scales and a black beak. It also has two mammoth sized yellow wings. The smell was foul, If you were in one hundred feet of it all you could smell was dead rodents because that is all it ate. If a human would ever touch it they would feel coldness and moist blood. If you were to ever hear it then you would go deaf in a heart beat. It does several blood curdling screeches before attacking it's prey.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2 pt 3

Hello this week is the first week of Summer Learning Journey. This is Week 1 Day 2 Activity 3.

Hello today we had to work out this maths problem:

Lets imagine that you are given a cactus for your birthday. To keep it alive you must give it 3 ml of water every day. Over one full year, how much water will you need to give your cactus plant?

So the way I would solve this is with Written Form. So I would start with a drawing like this

Then I would go 3 x 5=15 so I put the 5 down and carry the 1. Then I go 3 x 6= 18 + the 1 we carried on would be 19, so we put the 9 down and carry the 1. then we go 3 x 3=9 +1=10 but because this is the last number we can just put down the 10. so the end result is drum roll please *drum drum drum* 

1095!

I hope you enjoyed my blog post. Feel free to comment.

Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 2 pt 1

Hello today is the second day of Summer Learning Journey. This is week 1 day 2 activity 1

I would not want to go see Tāne Mahuta. I don't want to see it because although I do like playing outside I just don't think a tree would be fun to go to. Also if you spend a lot of money getting there all you would do is take a photo with it when you could use that money on more superior things. If I would go see something like a tree I would at least want to climb it.

Thats why I would not want to go and see it. I hope you enjoyed my blog post feel free to comment.

The Awful Plane Trip

Hello we have been working on hooking the reader in, creating writing with at least 4 pieces of action and being descriptive the whole way through. This is my story, I hope you like it.

My plane had just taken off. I was getting comfy. I was in first class. It was a one way flight to Tokyo, Japan. I got to eat chocolate, they offered me wine but I said, “No I will have grape juice.” But suddenly one of the planes engines made the loudest bang then the emergency masks came down.

I started to panic. I could hear people screaming. The pilot's voice appeared, “Please put on your masks, there is a slight issue.” For some stupid reason I looked out the window. The planes wing was covered in flames. That was when I started to panic. I must have hit my head at some point because I woke up not flying.

I stepped outside the plane my head was killing me. It smelt like a bomb had just gone off. All I could see was trees, all different type of trees. I looked behind myself that was when I saw the plane one wing floating in the water about 8 km away.  I could hear birds chirping, but the thing I could hear the most were people, people screaming and yelling for help.

I started to make my way into the forest. I just followed the screaming but the deeper into the forest I went the more it looked like someone was living there. I stepped around a tree but that was when I saw it. Four big men had tied up dozens of people, that was where the screaming was coming from. Then I saw the hand guns they were holding. I think one even had an AK-47. Suddenly I smelt rotting flesh. They… they were cannibals. I must have grasped because one of them yelled, “Get him!”

I woke up. I was tied up next to everyone else. How will I get out?  I will I survive, I thought to myself. I could not understand what they were saying but it sounded like they wanted to kill me. I was in a wooden cage. Next to me were animals, the rest of the people in my cage were not awake yet. The people did not know that I was awake yet.

Escape time. I started looking for a loose bar, a gap in the cage anything.  When everyone woke up we made a plan to get out of there. So here is the plan: First somebody plays sick when they come to get them out we all jump on the person steal his weapon and run. The plan was set in action.

Then all of sudden I was running with a handgun in my hand we did not know were we were running but we were running. I saw four rafts we had 4 groups of 5 on each raft. It was good to finally get to rest I think I had broken my shoulder blade. I felt intense stabs of pain in that area.  But then gunfire echoes round the sea. They were chasing us in sail boats. We had a head start so if we were quick we could lose them.

I saw an old boat up ahead with crates. We tied all the rafts together then 3 people started paddling at the front and 3 at the back. We all started yelling when we were close enough to the boat. Then someone fell off the raft.  A gunshot echoed across the waves. They were right behind us.

We climbed up onto the boat. They stopped shooting once we all got up but we lost about 3 people. Once we got to land I went straight to my house told my family what had happened. I needed about 2 months of counselling but I could finally talk about it with the world. So now I am here on this radio talk show. Well have a good night and thanks for listening.

The End

Well good bye have a good day.

Painting a Picture in the reader's head.

WALT use our senses in our writing to paint a picture in the readers head.

Here is an example of my writing. Can you imagine the scenes in your head?


The soft sound of birds chirping filled the air. I could smell the fresh prey of a snake, rotting and filled with flies. Just before I stepped over a log with old moss on it I saw a snake slithering down the log. It looked ready to attack. I looked around and that was when I realized I had lost my travel guides. I noticed it was a python so I stepped off the log. My foot landed. It felt weird. Wait is that?  A….a BABY SNAKE! I quickly dodged an attempt to get on my neck, it was from the mother snake. I started to run. I caught up with my travel guides and told them what happened.

Erase a face.

W.A.L.T-to do work like Sebastien Del Grosso.

The last piece of artwork we have done this term is inspired by Sebastien Del Grosso. He uses drawing on photos to make his art.  We have used as eraser in our photos and had to redraw part of our face. To help us with this we practiced our shading drawing shape drawing earlier in the term. Here is mine.

Scratch Cards.

W.A.L.T-To show your culture though art.

This term we have been working on art. One of the art was Scratch Cards. Scratch Cards are a card that is black but when you scrape of the black it is rainbow. You can do two scratch card but the first one had to be something from your culture. The second one could be anything as long as it was school appropriate. This is my culture Scratch card.
