The Lie

Last week for writing we had to think of a lie that people have said of you then we had to think of the truth an we had to write it. this is my Lie.

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

Vacation

Thursday 24th of November we had to pick a dream place to go on a holiday and I picked Miami. I had to find flights, accommodation, attractions and restaurants to go to and I had a budget of $17,000.
I also found out interesting facts about Miami, about a sports team and a famous person.
I researched about the flag, currency, population and leader.
I hope that you learn something about Miami. 

Diwali facts

For the past few weeks I have been learning about Diwali. First we had to write down questions about Diwali that we wanted to know,  then we had to find the answers on the internet. Next we did some activates that lead me to now. This week we had to make a DLO about are Diwali to make it we had to do something that is not a slide show to present your work. I picked Powtoon. Powtoon is an app were you can make a animations. It is fun creating it hope you like the facts and questions here is my video enjoy.

Earthquake ALERT!!

Last night 14th of November there was a 7.5 earthquake in New Zealand It started in Hanmer Springs and felt in Kaikoura Wellington and Christchurch It was massive. If you want to get through Kaikoura I will tell you that your not going any where same with  Hanmer Springs because the roads are blocked with rocks and dirt. Here is a picture of the damage to the road.


If an earthquake happens to you follow these steps it will help you survive but if there is no table you do the turtle. Make sure you place your hands on your neck because it is more in portent then your head. Also don't freak out if there is a earthquake stay calm and someone will get you out safely.

Heath and Nutrition

This term we have been learning about Health and Nutrition. So this week we have been learning about food labels. We were given an empty food packets and we had to write down how much sugar is in it. We had to see at the end if it was healthy or not. We also worked in groups my partner is Kea and we were given the Banana Frooze Balls and we figured out it was healthy. Also to be healthy you need to keep eating healthy. I hope this encourages you to stay healthy and have chocolate as a treat like once a week. I hope you enjoy my post. Bye.

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.
