Paragraph writing

I think that summer is the best season of the year because.


In summer you can go swimming at the beach or the river even the pool. Summer is a season when you can do a lot of fun activities. Like fishing,diving,building sand castles and many other stuff.


 Personally for me in summer my mood changes. The sun for me just makes me happier. The sun is like a relaxing tool. Then on the other hand, in winter it is more likely to rain. And when it rains I feel miserable and down. But I do like winter because it isn't as hot. And it's nice and cool.


 Also I think that in summer I can be with my friends and family more often. Because in winter it is just not the right season. And in summer you can go walking with your dogs or go riding with your horse's. I feel like summer is the most fun season.  but it would be more efficient if it was cooler.

music

I think that music is an amazing thing. Music gives you the feeling of love,rush,panic,scared, tired and many other emotions and feeling. You can sometimes judge someone by what there listening to.



The reason I think that music is amazing. Music has been such a great thing for me. Music has guided me. And Strengthened me.



There are many questions I want to know about music. How does it affect our emotions? How do some people feel the connection? And how are we so loverbile with music?

long walked the water part 4

I think that salva would not share because he is older and will know that he needs the water.

I think uncle want to go back because he wants salva to grow up and learn how to look after himself

I think their behaviour has changed because salva's uncle was no longer around and they thought salva was too young. I think salva will try to impress the group.

The event that made Salva realize his family was gone was the part when he saw a lady that looked like his mum and then he had a flashback about his uncle saying their village was destroyed so he knew it could not be his mum.

music

what have we been doing in music? keyboard and guitar.
what have I learned so far? keyboard and guitar.
what am I looking forward to learning? how to go home.

A long Walk to Water section 3

salva overcome his fear because his uncle talked to him and supported  him.

I think the worst was the whole thing.
the desert was dry and hot.

Salva's uncle encourages Salva by giving him hope and food
salva may have died without his uncle. I could be more supporting.

Don't take things for granted.

The Rocket Challenge

For the last 7 weeks we were put in groups.
and in our groups we had to work together and come up with a rocket.

We found that with our rocket it was too heavy and our parachute didn't work.

we also found out that tape does put an inpact on the bottle.

we did alot of diffrent thing to make our rocket.
and we learned about  Aerodynamics and Newton's Laws of Motion. 

For our second rocket launch to modify our rocket we are going to make a nose cone and maybe make it lighter.

THE HOOK

A girl loses her dog and finds her in the park.Then gets bullied in P.E. A her family go on holiday to scotland and on the way back the plane crashes and her family die but she survives.  

It was the middle of the night and a storm struck.I ran into the living room to see if Coco was there. Coco I yelled she was not to be seen.I ran up stairs to search for Coco. I fall to the ground crying. Mum walks in and says are you ok.I mumble Cocos gone. My mum sits on the ground holding me she'll be alright.do you think shes alive mum? I say. I dont no my mum says maybe. I hear a yelp coming from outside. I run outside catching my breath. Coco I yell. Coco runs to me I pick her up and she is shaking. Coco you're alive I say. Tears running down my face. Coco was hiding under the slide in my brothers park. My mother comes out with a unbrella calling to coco. “Come here girl”. Coco runs to my mum shaking. We take Coco inside . Coco is still shaking I am now scared. will she stop shaking mum? I cry. I dont no hopefully. She might be still cold and scared. Oh okay I answer. I gave Coco a bone before I went to bed. Mum woke me up at 7.51am. She said to me I think you need to go and see Coco. Why whats wrong is she okay? I say. As I walk into the living room my eyes start tearing up.  Sadly when I got to living room Coco was lying on her bed not moving.  I fall to the ground mumbling coco. I grab Cocos ear wispering Coco can you hear me. Coco I cry. Tears running down my cheeks. Coco does not move I cover my face with my hands. Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder it was my sister who was a vet. My sister pulls me away and says she is in heven now. No no no Coco dont leave me I cry. Tuesday morning we buried Coco by my nan at the cemerterry. On wednesday I had to goto school. My day was pretty bad I had P.E and HRM. HRM is just boring and dumb. P.E today was boring because all we done was run and play a game of soccer.  when I got home mum had been to the vet and brought a rabbit. I was not ecited for the rabbit because we had just losted coco. My mum said that we can name it. So my brother named it Pops. because coco pops were his favourite cereal. I was not happy about the bunny because I still loved Coco. Mum said to me that she thought having something else in the family may make it better.  I was angry at her I stood up and said well it's made it worse. I bolted up stairs into my room and slammed the door behind me. My mum was calling me for dinner but I was so furios at her. I would not go for dinner unless that rabbit was killed. behind me I hear footsteps it was my Mum. She said to me I no you are upset because I got a knew pet. I stand up and yell how could you do that to Coco. I'm not doing nothing to Coco. I didn't get the rabbit because I wanted to do something to Coco I got it because I thought it would help you. Coco was part of the family and she has left a big hole in our hearts. You  think I say angrely. If she was a big play to the family why did you go get that ugly rabbit. Like I said I thought it would help you. I don't care anymore just get out of my room I say. My mother stands up and walks out. I had school today and it was so hard. People were throwing my bag around and saying how ugly I am. At lunch time I hid in the toliet. I heird these girls talking about me.  I began to cry. The bell rang I am scared to leave. So I hide untill I think it is clear. I walk out it is all clear. My phone rings I do not answer it. As I get to class I check my phone to see who called it was a private number. At P.E this group of girl walked up to me. The first girl pushed me to the wall. The second girl pulled my hair. the third girl kicked me to the ground.. then the teacher walked in a the girls threatened me and said if you say anything will kill you.  I nodded my head trying not to cry. school had now fished and I ran home. My mum asked me if i'm okay I said yes but really no. I walked up stairs to my room and went to sleep. In the morning mum said we are going on a holiday today. I was so happy when she said that I fell to the ground. we had to pack our bag so we didn't have to goto school.  For our holiday we went to London. London was different I really like it. When we were in London we got a call from the house sitter saying that Pops the rabbit had died. I was even more happy. on the way home to new zealand something was not right with the plane. we did not no what but it was making a sound. I am now really scared the pilot announces that we are going to be stopping at the nested airport to check the plane. I no longer want to be on the plane anymore.  when we stop my mother says will be alright. it about 2 hours to check the plane and the said nothing was wrong. it still made the same noise to australia. suddenly bang. I began to cry the pilot announced will be alright and stay calm. my mother is panicking and crying to next thing you no she is got a huge cut on her face. my dad is pale and not moving. my sister is bleeding. it was all silent until I hear crying of a baby. we have hit the surface ad crashed. my hands are cut.  Im crying so hard I cannot stop. My family are dead my brother is still in new zealand with my older sister. I stand up searching for any alive people. a hear a baby crying but I can not see him or her. Then suddenly I see a leg kick under a chair. I jump under the chair and grab the baby. I am still crying but trying to calm the baby down. Then I hear someone calling girl girl come her. I turn around it is the piliot. Im still crying im sorry are you okay he says. You think ill be okay after this you killed my family I cry. I'm sorry he whispers.  I lost control of the lever. My family are dead and you me and this baby are the only ones alive. Im sorry he says again. Now what we just die out here with no food I say. we do have food and stuff in the back. and people will be here in a minute. and what are they gonna carry all these dead bodies. no they'll just take the alive ones. I am not leaving my family here I say. well you can die if you like the pilot says. fine I will I dont care. Then I hear a helicopter. Are you coming or not I hate you. first you kill my family second you tell me what to do. I need my stuff first we will get it I want my family's stuff is well. before I left my family I said goodbye and took all there stuff they would of wanted me to.like my mums gold wedding ring and her gold necklace and bracelet. also my dads rolex. and my sister jewellery. and my brothers G shock. I kissed them all good bye and done a karakia. I got on the other plane crying my heart out I can not stop crying. Then I ask who will look after the baby. the say well will try and find the family otherwise you. I said no way I am to young. when we get back to new zealand my sister is waiting for her whole family to return. but that was not the case. it was just me and a baby. She ask me were is the rest of us and who is the baby. I said we crashed and i survived with this baby. still cry she grabbed me and started to cry are you okay. No I say I was right by Mum when is happened. My sister is still crying i have to ak every family if this baby is theirs. Okay she said still crying. I am now asking every person if this baby is related to them. Is this baby related to you I said to everyone. everyone said no but this one person who was the father of it. he asked me what happened I told what happened and he was shocked upset sad and broken. I cried my way back to my sister and we leave. when we get back to Manunui.I stayed at her house.

I was homeschooled from then on and my life was never the same

since....

Science Roadshow

 Yesterday we got to have the Science Roadshow at Otaki College and we got to try alot of new things.  I learned how gravity works. For example, everything has gravity -  without gravity we wouldn't weigh anything. 
I also learned how to balance a cup on a flat board and swing it around without it falling off.

My favourite thing at the show was the metal melting.
HOW DID THE Metal MELTER WORK: we had to put metal in and round hole and it would melt.The metal was silver when it melted and it was liquidy.

GABEZ
The show was very funny and also very interisting. the main thing I liked about the show was when masa and hitoshi did miming like the window washer. Something the thing I disliked was the venue because we had to sit on the ground and we were all bunched up.








WOLFGANG'S MUSICAL CIRCUS - CIRCA
The thing I liked about this show was the venue. It was very luxurious and comfortable. Also I like the acting of the lady. The thing I disliked was my understanding of the show. I found the storyline confusing. The reason I liked the lady was because she was very flexible and smart. For example, she dressed the man while he was biking around.
