WALT:  Express myself in Narrative Writing

Once upon a time deep into the dark woods there was a Teenager with curly brown hair, she had a silky dark purple dress that went down to her ankles and a little purple hair clip made out of the same fabric as the purple dress. That teenager’s name is Jamica. Every time Jamica skipped through the woods she would go past a tiny squirrel in an oak tree. The squirrel’s name is Allison and he has two white stripes going down his back with a puffy but very soft reddish brown tail that feels as soft as your best blanket and I can’t forget to mention Allison’s dark blue eyes. It’s almost like Allison can see things from a mile away! One day when Jamica skipped through the woods she heard a noise and she followed it until she came face to face with a giant dark brown bear with the richest brown eyes and the most jaggedy, sharp teeth Jamica had ever seen in her life. 

Jamica and the bear

As soon as Jamica came face to face with the bear she screamed as loud as she could and Allison could see her face to face with the bear. Allison didn’t notice who it was with the bear so Allison kept lying down and looking at magazines. Jamica ran as fast as she could to her house and on the way there she got lost in the middle of the wood’s where no one could hear her shouting out “Someone please come and help me get back home!” Allison heard her that time and thought “Are they calling out for help from me?” So Allison ran as fast as a cheetah and when he could hear someone sobbing he looked that way and found out who it was then started running even faster then he ever had in his life. Allison came to a stop as soon as he saw Jamica and asked her “Why are you crying Jamica?” Jamica explained to Allison that she came face to face with a big growly bear and that she got so scared that she ran as fast as she could away from the bear and then she got lost in the middle of the woods. Allison yelled out “Look at what you did to this poor girl you should apologise.” The bear realised that scaring people was not funny so he walked droopily and sadly to Jamica and apologised to her for scaring her. Jamica thought about what the bear had told her and she told him back that she accepts that apology and that they can be friend’s so the bear’s not lonely. 

The Happy Ending

Jamica and the bear lived happily as a family and moved Jamica's house closer so they could have breakfast, lunch and dinner all together. Bear would always do anything with or for Jamica, especially when bear’s favourite thing to do is catch fish in the stream nearby the wood’s. Jamica decided to do something, something to repay Bear for being so nice to Jamica so she named Bear Oliver. Oliver was very proud of himself and Jamica. Do you think Jamica would go deep into the woods again?

Spelling W9/T3

This is something that my whole class does every school day every week, we call it our spelling. Every Friday we would have a spelling test to see if any of us has improved on our spelling.

Week 8 Writing

14 September 2021

WALT:  Follow the sequence of Narrative writing

The Cow And The Turkey

Once upon a time there was a cow living a normal life like every other cow, until she met the craziest bird she could ever meet, his name was Gavin. Gavin had a horrible looking face, half white, half brown, looking like someone had spilled coffee all over Gavin’s head. Although Gavin looked reasonably ugly he was nice, loving, and friendly. He’d try to help anyone, especially the cow Lanna. Lanna is the cow I was talking about before, the one that met Gavin. Lanna is double crazy since she has met Gavin. Lanna is a black cow with splotches of white all over her but mostly on Lanna’s face and neck. When Lanna was a calf she met an old man called Allison. Allison has always worn an old raggedy waterproof jumpsuit. After a while Lanna had to move to a different paddock. Lanna is freaked out that other cow’s just poop at random places. 

Problem 1

Lanna was raised by Allison and fed by Allison, Allison did everything for Lanna. Lanna had never ever moved out of the paddock she got raised in until today when she got moved out of her paddock. Lanna was happy because she was still on the same farm and she was with her buddies that she had grown up with, but above all of that there was a slight problem with Lanna moving paddocks. Lanna did not like it because her normal paddock had a bigger paddock and Lanna felt like she was stuck in a tiny space where no one could see her. Lanna felt invisible and not noticed. Lanna would wail everyday and everyday no one would come except one day Gavin heard Lanna wailing and calling out “Someone please come and help me go back to my home, where I belong!” Then all of a sudden Gavin came along and questioned Lanna “Was that you wailing and screaming out  someone please come and help me go back to my home, where I belong.” Lanna replied while sobbing quietly “Yes that was me because this paddock is just too different from the one I belong in.” 

Solution 1

Gavin thought of the best idea he had ever thought of, his idea was to try to fly and pick up Lanna and then fly Lanna over to her paddock. All in one breath Gavin called out “I should have flying lessons, then I’d be able to pick you up and  fly you over to your old paddock, where you belong.” Lanna had a think about what Gavin had said to her and then Lanna eventually told Gavin that “It’s a good idea.” Lanna got some baby bamboo that was by her paddock and used them as the lights that help planes go the right way. Gavin cleared all of the other cows to make a runway for Gavin. As soon as Gavin finished his flying lesson's, off they were. That is why you can see a cow jump over the moon.

Empowerment

 Today Whaea Donna taught us what to do when an unkind comment or email comes up on your device. We each had to copy a slide then do a little bit of things that you know already, then we had to add a picture of yourself and add it to our slide that we copied. This is what they look like. 

Bubble Art

 The N on my drawing tell's you that I watched Netflix. The beach represents my favourite beach that my whanau went to during lockdown, the little white cat represents my cat called Loki, the picture of the other cat and the bird represents my other pets, the cat on the cage is called Zoe and the bird in the cage is called Joejo. Thank-you to Whaea Donna for helping me with my bubble art. 

LJ L2 Back To School

 Sept 9, 2021

WALT describe how I’m feeling

Level 2 - Back to school

Getting Out Of Bed

This morning I woke up with a beam of morning light coming at my bed as I slowly got up moaning and groaning until I remembered that it was the day I could finally go back to school. YAY!! I woke up feeling like I had a lot of energy to do my morning jobs, but it turned out that I was not very energetic that morning. I jumped out of bed so excited, then I got dressed as slow as a tortoise in a race with a cheetah. 

Going To School

As soon as I threw my bag over my shoulder, I raced out the door, slipped my shoes on and ran to the car yelling “I’m finally at school again!!” Once my mum dropped me off at school I trotted slowly past all the classes and happily said “Good morning.” to Mrs Windelborn and Whaea Kim, then I saw Mihi and Skyla playing and talking in the gazebo. As soon as I had a look at who they were I ran to them with my arm’s wide open ready to hug them and I screamed out “I missed you so much!” Mihi did that too and then when we came close Mihi stuck out her elbow instead of the hug. I got really confused when Mihi put her elbow out so I had a little pause and then I found out that Mihi was elbowing me because covid is around and no one can hug their friends, which seems like nothing has changed but when you experience it, it feels like it’s the end of the world not being able to give your friends a big fat hug. After saying “Hi!” and “I missed you guys so much!!” Mihi, Skyla and I thought of playing busted with the grass being the safe place. I would say that I am not a professional at that game but I think I did good. 

My Day At School

After saying “Hi.” to everyone I walked past, I all of a sudden heard the bell ring for learning to begin. When I walked into the classroom my teacher, Mrs Jujnovich greeted every child one by one to check how many people were here at school today. After Mrs Jujnovich greeted everyone, my class listened to what Sir had to say through the intercom. Sir told us what school value we will be looking at this week, he told us the top ten students of mathletics, he was telling us that we have to bring our own drink bottle and the last thing he said was “We are proud and passionate leaders of learning in the heart of the community, Ina te tukaha te tu maia o nga kaiarataki matauranga kei waenganui kei te manawa o te iwi kainga.” After Sir had said what he had to say Nico did the Karakia and then Mihi said the Mihi to start the morning off. After the Karakia and Mihi my class started this piece of writing and then had a brake by playing golden child. Golden child is a game where one team is shooting and the other team is running a lap of the court, the runners and the shooters have to be in a line and take turns running and shooting. To start the game the coach or in this case Mrs Jujnivich would call out “Start!” or “Go!” That's when the runners will start to run a lap then shooters will start shooting. Once the shooters have got a basket the runner that is running would stop and then the next person would try to run a lap to get home. To win the round the shooters have to shoot a basket while the last runner is running the runner is the golden child has to make it home.  the runner is called golden child 

Favourite Things

I had a great day at school because I loved playing golden child with all my friends and finally going somewhere and seeing people. The best thing was that I could get away from my brothers just for a bit.
