Where Am I

Where Am I:

There are a lot of people around talking and moving .
Lots of items are around me.
People are pushing and shoving.
I  hear heaps of noises and an occasional alarm.
 Every one is doing something but not in the same place.
I see a lot of things I haven't seen before.
I can feel people breathing on my neck which I find quiet creepy.
People are so close together I feel uncomfortable.
I smell some rotten things and people that smell bad.
I always look at the people crowding the cold section.
There are a lot of things that I want because they look so yummy.

Morning Blog Post

In the holidays it was quiet sad. I found out my auntie was going to die of liver cancer. I have meet her before but I don't know much about her. I cant remember her name which I think is embarrassing but I hope I get to see her before she dies again. She has the latest of 2 months to die which is very sad. Her husband Grant is very very upset because they have only been together for about 2 years. With her being sick she wants to be in a cosy environment at home when she dies so the hospital let her go home but be on watch by nurses. I hope she dies with out any pain because that would be sad if she died with pain. My mum doesn't know exactly when she is going to die but it will be before 2 months because the cancer is going all over her body and it is getting worse by the week. Her Liver is so bad but she is managing to cope with the pain when she has her medication. I hope her husband Grant will be alright because my mum is afraid he will lose the plot. 

After finding out about the death going to happen my dad asked if we wanted to go over to her funeral when she dies but my mum didn't want to because she is still so shocked. I wanted to go but I am afraid of meeting my mums family. My mum doesn't like any of her brothers and 2 of her sisters. I like my mums brother Craig because he is really funny when he pulls jokes on me. He is also very kind and he teaches me about random things that I never knew existed before. I don't know where the funeral is going to be because our family hasn't decided. I hope she dies in peace but I didn't want her to die in the first place.

Term2 Overview

Main events this term was camp for me. Camp was awesome because I was not with my brother or sisters. Camp was in the Kamai ranges. My dad came for the week and helped. I didn't want him to come because he always gets grumpy.

My highlight was cross country. Cross country was so fun because people got to show their abilities. I did do better then last year but I still wanted to get a better mark. I still loved doing it but my feet were very cold. I ran with a girl from Rata but I didn't get her name. I came 51 which is quiet good because there were over 250 students.

My low light was Science fair. I didn't do it very well an it was boring. I failed because my board was not detailed. It was plain white. Though I didn't like doing it I liked looking at other peoples boards. I liked a year 7 students technology board.  Some people did very well but lots of us didn't get a yellow sticker because we were up against Totara the smart house. I could of done a lot better than I did but I could not be stuffed. I didn't get a yellow sticker which I know I wouldn't

I have improved at maths. I think from the start of this term I have improved a lot. I was very dumb at the start of this term but now I think I am average. In my ikan I got stage 7 which is a lot better then my last test.

I still need to improve on is my writing. I am quiet dumb in writing because I dont understand what I write. Writing is a challenge for me because I dont like doing it. I am trying to get better but I need to start doing it more in the weekends or after school. My mum is teaching me how to write more deeper text. I need to get better at punctuation as well. My mum is helping me with reading between the lines and using bigger words to make it more complex.

G1. Design your own challenge

 For my Rimu house challenge in the giving category, I decided to do the adopt an egg one. I thought is was going to be really hard since you can't break it and you have to treat it like it was your child. First I chose an egg and drew on a fave and hair, witch took heaps of goes as I kept making the eyes smaller than the other one. After about the third egg I got the eyes right but it was so hard. I loved the eyes because they were so cute. I decided to make it a girl and her name was Izzy. It was really fun decorating her container that she lived in.  I coloured it rainbow.

When I looked after Izzy my sister kept trying to take it out of the container and brake her but I wouldn't let her. Izzy really stunk after 3 days because I didn't wash her. Izzy always slept next to my pillow on my bed and I gave her a light. She was fun to have because I learnt how to be responsable. Her hair was really weird because I couldn't draw very well because she kept moving. 


This is Izzy

Book Review 3

Horrible history
The terrible truth about time
By Nick arnold






The terrible truth about time will get your ticker racing!Don't wait a minute longer  to discover:What happens if you get too close to a black hole.If you think you can stomach the sick side of science,then read on as it clocks up your brain with timeless chapters.


In London professor lincolnton was fixing the biggest clock in the world when the hands fell off.He was so upset he got his assistant Chris to help him.When Chris got there they got up to the hands and they fell down.They broke all their bones and died.3 minutes later the whole clock face fell down on them.Everyone was so  surprised and upset.The clock managers were so angry that they blew up the whole tower.There was a great big hole in the middle town and people fell in.The story goes on and on and gets boring.



A brilliantly  good humored and amusing story of the time in london where the clocks failed and people got angry.The bad thing about the book is it gets boring.

Book Review 2

The Dream Fight And Other Creation Tales
Ted Hughes



This book is different because the story line keeps changing.This talks about god a lot and how the world became.A Lot  of different things that don’t make sense are in the book.



A million years ago god decided that he should make living things.He first made a whale.The process was over a thousand years and it was hard.The process was:make it out of clay then put it in a oven for 100 years the breath fire into it to make fire.


When satan saw god doing this he thought that he might make something to show off about.He thought what to make but he knew where he lived in the center of the earth would be too hot for the clay.He decided to make it out of rocks and jewels.He knew he couldn’t  breathe fire into to it because he was not god.


When the process was over he took it to god and showed him.God said that it was a magnificent creation and that he should be proud.Then god decided to show all the animals  he made.he had names for all of them.



Their are so many other chapters in the book.I recommend this book for people who believe in god and that love different styles.This book in my opinion could of been a bit better and more descriptive.Thsi book could have bigger chapters.

Book Review 1

As in Eden



  • The characteristics were well explained
  • The language could of been better
  • The setting was good



This book is about god and religions.



They fled.The bright calm green and  sunlight rippling of the river,the fruit scent ,the scent of lilies and gentle in closing shades of the trees-that were collapsing  around them.They were folding into nameless things.They fled from the horror and voiceless howling surrounding them.The family was not welcome anywhere .The kids were familiar of the places they went,they had to learn in school. Every couple of days they hunted and hunted for food and shelter. Every night they starved and begged for forgiveness. Ishmael the dad  never begged  or wanted all he did was pray.



The first time they reached another  place they set up camp and stayed till they were healthy again. They hardly ever got better though because they gave the food to the kids.Everyone was worried they might get tracked down and held captive. They never stayed for long because they needed to reach their destination which was Eden.Toroa the only girl wondered if she could run but her muscles were badly hurt and she had bites everywhere.Her mother  Samlie wanted the best for her children but they could never have a bright future because of there dark  past. Misral the son wanted to hunt like his dad and be a warrior.




They were so happy  they weren’t haunted down,they had a nice future ahead.


The writer can express feelings in a good way .Its amazing and tells you what can happen in the real world.The writer explained the characters nicely and the words could of been better.The setting was good.

A Most Triumphant Tale

Yesterday our school had a production. If you payed ten dollars you got to go to Bay court and watch it. The production was called a Most Triumphant Tale. The production was about saving the world from lip sinking pop stars called Labyrinth. I was in the front part on the left side. I was in the corner and it was very loud in my ear. It was funny when Mr Apple man ran across the stage in a golden skirt.

The years sevens that sat next to me and my friends were very rude and loud. They were screaming at people and they were yelling peoples names out. They asked to swap seats with me and Tyla but we said no so they were being mean. During the production I had to go pee but we were not allowed which sucked. I went before we left but I just had to keep going. When we entered Bay court we sat down and there was a man rising up from a hole playing the piano. He was very good at it. I thought he was faking playing but then he turned around and you saw him playing. He had skills because at one stage he was playing with one hand. For the production we had to be very nice. I only liked the dancing because it was so beautiful. I liked the acting but not much because it was boring. When we had a break the whole room went loud and people started to scream. When the production finished at about two o'clock we came back to school and waited for the bell so we could go home.

Persuasive Letter

I am writing this letter to you Catherine because I believe soccer is a main sports in a kids life that they should try at least once. I believe soccer is very important in a child's life.

The first reason that I believe soccer is a main sport is because it keeps you energised and you get fit because you run most of the time. You always have fun and you have to keep running to stay on track with the ball

The second reason is that you always have fun though you get hurt you still have fun and it keeps you happy. When your not even touching the ball you can still be defending. Soccer is so fun because you can use your head stomach and knees.

Soccer is basically when you kick a ball with your feet and try get it into the goal. You need strength when kicking the ball and you need good stamina when running. You could stay in the goal as a goal keeper, you could be a defender or you could be up field trying to score. I am a striker which means I am upfield trying to get the goals. Striker is an attaker and has to be good at running because you have to be upfield with the ball. I love soccer so much
