Air Force

For the past few weeks I have been writing a report I picked the topic air force I really enjoyed writing about this. I have written the history and what happens know. I hope you enjoy.

Air force

Hey have you ever wondered what they did in the air force? Well I'm here to tell you. Strap in your seatbelt we are taking off to the history of the NZ air force.

For a while the NZ air force flew apart of the British Royal Flying Corps, while they joined the British Royal Flying Corps they had 24 victories. Then the government wanted to make two private training schools for men to become pilots.

In 1916 sir Henry Wigram established the Canterbury. Company at Sockburn, from Britain for pilot training.  the government for defence purposes. At the end of the war many new Zealand pilots stayed with the new Royal Air Force.

In 1920 a lady called Amelia Earhart was the first girl to fly a plane. She encouraged other lady’s to do this. Sadly she went missing July 2 1937 age 39. She made women realise that they can do what men can and that they are stronger than what other people think and this is how women were involved in the air force.

What they do know

I have talked about the history but what about what happens know. The Defence White Paper 2016 provides the foundation for New Zealand’s security now and into the future which increases instability and uncertainty. Did you know defense is the key of the New Zealand's broader security system.

Conclusion

I think that when they flew apart of the british air force and had 24 victory I really think that is impressive. If you want to learn more click here.

This is all I have for know I hoped you were interested at what I had to say. Here is a fun fact the nz air force has been going for 104 years, I really had fun sharing the history with you. Stay awesome.

Yum Cotton Candy!

For this week we watched a video called partly cloudy. We mainly had to focus on the setting and what we could see. We could be a bird or a cloud and I picked a cloud.

Take a look at the video.

The sky was pink it was like cotton candy I loved it because it was my favorite colour. It made me feel powerful.

I live over an amazing town called Violet Brough.

The people are really nice and the houses are tidy and new, the school is really good they learn so much from it they will be off to college in no time.

Hi, my name is Rose and I am a cloud, not just any old cloud I am magical I make pets, toys and babies, some smart friendly bird called Liz comes and takes them away and gives them to the people that need them.

But down below there is a grey cloud called Billy. He makes bad things like aggressive animals, crocodiles, porcupines and rams. But we still love him, his bird had barely any feathers and he smelt like fish it was disgusting. The other day he made a  storm it was pouring with rain. I couldn’t stop it but I was trying my hardest to.

Because his bird left him for me but actually he came to me for some gear, he went back and he made him really happy now he is one of us.

The Heart Full Piano

For this week I have been watching this video called the piano. I have gotten some ideas from the video and write my own story enjoy.
http://www.literacyshed.com/piano.html

I play this heart full and mindless song for my wife every day, It makes me want to break down in tears.

I started to play my daily song I felt like I was going to cry, as I was playing a ghost of my wife came she looked so beautiful, her hair was in a bun she was wearing a pink sweater and her brown eyes were like crystals. I wish she was still alive she kissed me on the cheek as she disappeared.

Then I was in the war it was exactly the same, I saw my best mate Dave he nodded at me that was a sign to say he's going over, he did it he got shot I took him I haled him until the memory ended.

At this point I wanted to cry, it was just too much.

Somalia

For week 4 we have looked at a video and we picked a character to be, I picked the root take a look at the video.Somalia. know take a look at my creation.

It has been about two days in this rusty old boat, I am Ethan and I am a robot, the crew on this boat takes me and my robot friends everywhere. We are their guardians. We save them, that makes us heroes. I heard yelling there was fighting in the boat we got unleashed, we haven't seen the view in ages. It was like a fairy tale. The boat was bigger than we last saw it.

Enough of the view! We have a job to do. We foot tripped them and cornered them, once we got all of the roaming around done we took care of the pirate captain. He looked outside to see that his men have been held as prisoners. They left after that and let's hope they learnt their lesson. We let free all of the crew, they thanked us. Once again we went back where we belong in the crates.

Fairy Tale Ride

This week I was writing a story about this insane guy he rides his bike in the most wild places. I got the idea from a video we watched. Take a look. The Ridge

Here is my story.

I was paddling to the ridge in a boat made of birch wood it was painted blue, the scenery was beautiful it was like a fairy tale, I stopped at a beach I grabbed my purple and black bike I had a little glimpse of the mountain I was about to ride my bike on it.

I was off! I jumped over waterfalls and rocks I thought I was going to die but I never quit I carried on. I got up to the very tip top I was higher than the clouds the view was like a dream, I was speechless. I climbed down it was even scarier than I imagined possible.

I jumped over a big gap, my heart was pounding, I made it past the rocky mountains but there was one more thing to do, I flipped over fences as I got to the end I sat down and enjoyed the view. This is the best day ever I thought to myself. I can’t believe I didn’t die. It is time to go home and tell my friends and family.

Not even aware!!

For week 10 we had a challenge to do six word story, my inspiration for this piece was this video take a look. Video.

Personal comment

This was a bit of a challenge but I would do it again because I love challenges.

The Present

The Present

It was the weekend which means my mum would go on a shopping spree, she was wearing a white T-shirt and some jeans she looked very lovely. She went out when she was gone all I did was

play video games on my xbox 360 at home. Then my Mum came home she had a box I thought to myself “Could it be a xbox one for me?” She opened the blinds, it was so bright.

“Mum, shut the blinds it hurts my eyes and I am trying to play my game”.

Then the box moved and a puppy jumped out. It was cute, he was blonde. But there was one thing that let me down he only had three legs. He wanted to play with me but I rejected him. “I can’t believe mum brought me a puppy with one leg missing just because I have one leg missing too”. I went back to playing my Xbox.

Wait, look at him, he is so cute. No, remember he only has three legs. Wait, look at him being silly and being clumsy, he keeps falling over his three legs and we do have something in common we both have a leg missing

“I accept you because I am like you too we are going to be great friends” I said. I hope I will be a great owner and we can stay best friends forever,

so he grabbed a red ball and I got my crutches and we played outside. I said “I will call you Mischief, my twin”.

25 year letter

This week I have been writing a letter to the future me we had to include every thing you wanted to do as a 10 year old here is my story.

Dear Future ME,

By the time you read this many years will have passed.  In fact you will be turning 25 years old.  This is a little reminder of what your goals and dreams were as a 10 years old.

Let's start with your career. You wanted to do good at school and go to university. To be a Doctor and save peoples live and hope that they live healthy.

As you are aware, you are really passionate about playing sports especially basketball. You wanted to play for the Canterbury Wildcats and hope to get a provisional contract for the Minnesota Lynx.

You have 3 places you would like to go Miami, Hollywood, New York. You would have lovely hotels with spas and then you would make yourself feel like home.

Then you go back to your home in Christchurch and live your days.

Yours sincerely

10 Year Old Me

Swimming day out

On Tuesday, the second week of the school holiday, my brother Kody and I, went to Oscar because my Mum and Dad were at work so we had no one to look after us. Everyday we did something and on Tuesday we went swimming at Rolleston pool because Oscar wanted us to have fun. The Oscar leaders are Marie, Ashley, Kearin and Brad. They were amazing!

Story:

When we got to the pool we were told the rules and after that we got changed and then went out to the pool and put our bags away. Next we put goggles on if we needed them.

After all that I was allowed to jump into the big lane pool, it was freezing Kea and I kept jumping off the diving board until we were so cold we went into the warm pool. It was so nice and warm and toasty.

In the warm pool there was a lazy river I would just lie down on my back while it would push. I would keep on going round and round until I got dizzy then I hopped out and was so dizzy I fell over.

After that lazy river we got out of all the pools and got changed after we got changed we got to eat I was starving and then we left.

Conclusion

I was happy and so Lucky to go swimming and I hope I can go again with my mum, Isla and Fin.

First draft

In Ako Nghtahi we had to write a narrative about a video. It was about a chimpanzee going into space for 65 years. My punctuation and vocabulary are in red. Here is the video space chimp. I hope you Enjoy my story.

Space chimp video

1961 I was young with hazel eyes, brown fur and I'm also from America. At the NASA Space Station, I was going to space for an experiment to see what happens to a chimpanzee in space. I Heard 5,4,3,2,1 boom!! There I was, launching up to space. I thought I was dying, but I was not It was just me launching.  My heart was pounding like a drum.

I thought to myself,  why did they chose me to go to space, why? There’s other Chimps. Yeah that’s right I’m a Chimp. I was the chosen one.

In the radio I heard a voice, “Roger are you OK?” I repeat are you ok?”

“Yes Ben”

Smash!!

“what's that Ben?”

“That's just you breaking into your capsule. OK” I will see you in five weeks.

CRCRCR…

“Ben are you OK”

“Jim Roger anyone”

5 weeks have past I'm still in space. I’m getting old slowly and slowly years after years It’s now been about four years In the capsule I would stare at my trainor well my dad because he made me into this fully grown chimp.

                              65 years later…

I woke up and see the sun shining in my eyes and then I see something in the glass reflectshine. It was me I think I had grey hair and I was all wrinkled with whiskers then I saw earth my face light up as like fire burning away. Then I press the big red button to go home as I was landing I was shaking like I was on a roller coaster then I let out the parachute I stopped shaking and then bang!! I landed on earth In America I was excited to see my owner Jim.

I open my capsule door and see a deserted city. I thought Is this America?  Where am I? I see someone in the distance I felt woozy and I got knocked out. I wake up I see the girl I asked “Who are you?

“I am Megan”

She had short brown hair with some tights and a t-shirt saying Zoo keeper.

“Megan where am I? Said the chimp.

“You're in the Zoo where you will be OK”

“A Zoo where is the other animals?”

“There are non”

“What happened?”

“ well all the other animals took over that's why I took you here” Said Megan

“We need to go”

“why ?”

“Just come on” Said Megan

“Wait I need to go back!”

“Why” Said Megan

“Because my only memory is in there”

“OK” Said Megan.

We went back to the space shuttle and looked for the picture but it was not there.

“I don’t understand”

“What's wrong” Said Megan

“ my my memory it’s gone”

“What's that?” said the chimp

“That's a stampede run!”

We hid under a broken building then I see something in the distance They were chimps. The leader Pongo said “Who are you”

“I am the space chimp”

Then I saw a chimp with a photo I asked.

“Hey what's that in your hand”

“This is just some rubbish I found In a space ship”

“Hey that's mine pass me it”

“ give it back said Megan”

The chimp throw the picture away.

“No” said the chimp

“ let's go on a trip on you are the bate”

“Run!” said Megan

I ran as fast as I can they got pass Megan and now they are coming for me. I feel a slap!! As I hit the ground. Then I found the picture from when he throw it away. I grabbed it and said good bye but then I see Jim.

“Jim is that really you”

“Yes we need to get out of here”

“No wait”

“What” said Jim

“ we need Megan”

“OK but quickly”

I quickly got Megan and went back to Jim then we left. To United States of America.

SECOND DRAFT

impressions in red

The lions strike!!

4.5.12 It was another amazing day on the African Savannah with the herd and my family. My dad is the king of the herd. We were are all migrate across the bank to get to the watering hole. I noticed dad’s shadow is dark, it’s like in a cave, it’s like my safety blanket. I am just a calf after all.

Suddenly my dad stopped I knew something was not right, we had found company, my dad could taste danger. “Run my dad roared!” The herd quickly ran as fast as we can, my heart was pounding as fast as it could. Suddenly the lion pounced out of the bush then chased after me, then the lion jumped on me. There it was on my back, I felt the lion for the first time, I felt the claws stabbing into my back like a sharp knife. There was a sharp pain going down my back there was a big scratch and I lost my balance. SPLASH!!! I fell into the water the lions started to pull me out but then SNAP!! A crocodile grabbed me. Suddenly the lions and crocodile started a tug-o-war for their lunch. I was the rope! The lions won the tug-o-war against the crocodile they pulled me out even more on to the bank. I could hear my herd coming back to save me. I could smell freedom ahead. I could see my exit. Here comes my dad with the herd. They quickly grabbed me out and chased after the lions. My dad sent out a big Moooo!!! To say it was clear.

I was frightened, I did not think my family would come back for me. I felt scared after getting attacked like that, it’s probably going to give me nightmares. I was happy that my herd came back to save me in the end.
