Saleha Tessellation

This is my tessellation image. It was a very challenging piece of artwork because it took me 2 hours to complete. I am happy off the result and maybe I would do another kind of art next time.

Mikayla Tessellation

Today our class did Tessellation. We all had a tessellation pattern for our design. At first I found a pattern and then I chose another one. So it was pretty hard to chose which one. So I looked up ‘tessellation patterns’ and found a triangle design. I thought that this topic was going to be easy, but after cutting, pacing and gluing it was really hard. Drawing on the draft paper was really hard because my hands started to get sore and I started to run out of paper. So I focused on the angles and got it right. In the middle of my design I used to leftover paper to fill in the corners, that came in really handy. In the end I looked at my design and at it came out just like it did on the internet. When I was done I looked around the class and saw all the different patterns and colours.

The penguin with a problem

It’s been three days since I haven’t been home. All I saw was white blocks of gigantic ice. The temperature was worser than New Zealand. I went to my wardrobe to put on extra layers. As I was holding onto the side-bar, I could see a penguin from a distance.

Just a little pinch of light led me to the penguin. It squealed and squealed. I felt like it was squealing  for me. On it’s white coated, beautiful fur, it had drips of blood. I was shocked. I grabbed one more jacket and ran off the ship. Tears were running down the penguins face. Since my job was saving antarctica animals, I’d assumed I would help.

I sprinted back onto the ship. I could feel the coldness punch my cheeks. It was night time so I was sure to take my glow in the dark torch. I ran to the front of the ship to ring somebody. I heard crackling noises. Inside my heart, I was struggling. Maybe this poor penguin needed me? So I went back to the penguin with an axe.

The axe was razor blade sharp and incredibly big. I started axing the ice. I was careful enough to dodge the penguin. It shrieked loudly over night. My ears turned red. I was near the penguins feet by then. At 6 am in the morning the penguin was loose to roam again. I fell on the cold harden ice. After a few hours of sleep in my ship, I went back to New Zealand.

The news spread wide world quickly. Everyone was clueless with no evidence given. Five years later somebody went to antarctica and found the penguin. That person sore the scare hidden beneath the fur. I became a little bit famous. The person who found the penguin.....
to be continued....
The theme of this story is to help when someone or something needs help, even if you are alone. :D

It was a beautiful night. My mum just told me that she went to the shop and bought five Bad Boys boxes for my little siblings birthday. We all got ready to celebrate fireworks day. We had to take a box of Bad Boy each outside. I had to take all the fireworks out of the boxes and put all of them in a bunch. It was in the middle of the field. I was excited.

Dad lit up the fire and ran to us. It was astonishing when it zoomed to the sky. It took about 21 minutes till the fireworks were dead. Dad had a rocket firework in one hand and in the other hand, he had two milk bottles filled with water. He laid the rocket on the grass and sparked it up. He sprinted towards us because the wire that makes the rocket to work was short.

It flew like a bird but way faster. It was like a jet plane. When it reached the sky, I heard a bang. There was something wrong. Little bits of fire weren’t suppose to fall from the sky. My mum toted us away from the burning bits. Dad was like a fireman without the firesuit. He watered them till they were soggy. There was a little bit of fire that flew down to dads shoulder. His clothes burned quickly like as if he spilled gas on himself. Mum rang the ambulance to take him to the hospital.   While mum was putting water on dad, the ambulance came and took him. Mum remembered that while dad was walking, he was shaking  of the fireworks.

The theme is to never shake the fireworks when it didn’t light up.

It was time for John’s first day of fireworks. John had never done fireworks before. His face was red. He said to himself that he was afraid. He went to his room and stayed in there. He didn’t come out.

When night began fireworks flew through the wind and blew up into little ashes. John was scared of the very bright light when the fireworks blew up. John heard a sound calling from downstairs. It was his mother. His mother was calling him to come and hold a sparkler. He didn’t know that his family does fireworks. But it seems that they do. John went down the stairs silently so that his mother didn’t know that he came down. He got caught by his dad. He was sent to hold the sparkler. John was trying his best to get away from the sparkler. But suddenly a little spinning cascade flew just through his legs and blew up. He yelled and then he ran back to his room.

John rushed to his bed and covered his entire body with his blanket. He couldn’t close his eyes. Everytime he tried to close it fireworks exploded. John saw a box of sparklers in his room and he saw a lighter. He knew that he wasn’t allowed touch the lighter. He picked up the lighter and he lit up the sparklers. He had goose bumps. He thought that he will burn. He was feeling little sparks on his hand. John then wasn’t afraid of the fireworks any more.

John went downstairs and enjoyed the fireworks with his family. Everyone was happy.

The theme of the story is that fireworks is not scary if handled correctly.      

   

Saleha- Fireworks

Remember remember the fifth of November

In 1605 and my friends and I had a plan. We wanted to blow up Britain’s House of Parliament and  kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for us Catholics. My name is Guy Fawkes and I am the leader as my mates would call me.

“ Where do I take these 36 barrels of gunpowder?” yelled Thomas.

“Store them in a cellar just under the House of Lords”, I replied. But as we worked on the plot, it became clear that innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack but I still wanted to continue with my plan. Some of the plotters started having second thoughts. Henry even sent an anonymous letter warning his friend, Lord Monteagle, to stay away from the Parliament on November 5th. I was furious. I wanted to kick him out but if I did then he would unveil  my plan. I knew that I couldn't afford that so I decided to let it slip by.

On the 5th of November when we were just about to start my mission I saw a noise coming down from the alleyway. My heart started to beat faster than ever before. I knew I was going to breathe my last soon but then I had an idea that would change my situation.  

“Hey Thomas I would give your family one million dimes if you take my place”, I suggested.

“I know you are going to cheat on me boss.” Thomas argued. I persuaded  him at last and I went running out off the alley. I was free but I felt so sad because I knew that my friends had no idea what was going to happen to them.

Two weeks later I heard that the judge sentenced Guy Fawkes to the most horrendous form of execution available.He was sentenced to be hanged and quartered. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I could never forgive myself. People will never know that there were actually thirteen people who were part of the plan.

One lovely night there was a new baby Kiwi who was sleeping in his cage. He woke up and ate his food and went outside. He was just walking around and around looking for some more food. He saw something coming out. It was a worm. He ran fast as he could to get it so he could eat it. I got it he

said to himself . He ate it he swallowed it and he loved it. He went to look for more. He found two and ate it.     

Suddenly he got lost. He didn't know where to go. He was frightened. He didn't know how to get back to the zoo. He saw something coming to him. He didn't know what was it. So he ran and ran and ran trying to go home so he can be safe and warmer. He found a small cave where he could sleep. He ran slowly because he was tired. He was so cold and alone. He missed his mum and brothers and his sister and his home too.

It was day time but he was still tired so he slept for just one minute. He woke up and saw a cat and ran. He saw his foot marks and followed them. The zoo was closed by. The cat got tired and went away like he was scared. The baby kiwi made it to his home. His mum,brother and sister were so happy to see him alive and not hurt.

He had grown up. The zookeeper saw them eating and didn’t know what had happened. The kiwi’s name was Jason and he was five years old. He was safe.

Matthew Halloween

Halloween is the scariest event in the year

It makes me fill up with fear

Every kid with a mask

I can’t take this task

We go to a house and knock on the door

We say trick or treat but they just roar

I have a basket full of treats

So I keep on knocking on doors in the streets.

Langa Halloween

We're having a Halloween party at school

I'm dressed up like a vampire. Man, I look cool!

like creatures that only come out in the night

My mum drops me off and I run into school

and suddenly feel like the world's biggest fool.

Walt:write a narrative.

One day my friends and I were walking along the meadow. One of my friends said that they could smell fire. Then we noticed a fire truck.

As we were walking along we saw a big house that was on fire and a lot of people were surrounding it. Everyone was beginning to worry because there were kids trapped inside the fiery house and there was no possible way to get them out. The fire men even tried to get out their long ladder but that wasn’t even long enough.

I was thinking to myself we need a superhero then I looked up into the sky and saw a little flash of light coming down to us. So I went back to the fire truck to get the flash light and by the time I got back there was a man dressed in a cape and a superman costume. Everyone screamed/yelled “ Look it’s super man ”. One of the firemen told him if he could rescue the kids. So he flew up into the house without getting burnt , He swooshed up their got the kids and swooshed back out. Everyone was relieved and really happy.

The whole town wrote a thank you letter to the superman/hero for saving their children. After they gave the letter he swooshed back in the sky as fast as a cheetah. So we all went back to the fire truck just to check if everyone was safe and gladly everyone was safe.

Tainah Sports Camp Story

Walt: write a narrative.

I was standing on the wet grass in  front of 100  people from 7 different school and could not believe what I was seeing.  Tainah was performing an unrehearsed haka.  She performed at Totara Springs.  Well she was embarrassed to do the  haka although she’s wearing a Maori costume.  Tainah looked at the crowd and felt scared.  She started to perform. It was funny! It was amazing! It was fantastic! Tainah made the crowd go crazy.

When Tainah finished her performance, she  cried because everyone was laughing at her. The bell went and Tainah needed to go volleyball.  She only took one step, and everyone started to do the haka. Tainah kept on crying.  It was sad and funny at the same time.

When Glen Innes School was playing volleyball t against Weymouth they were four points down. Tainah was requested to join the volleyball team on court. Tainah focused and served a no return ball. There was a 3 point difference now. Two serves and a return spike got GI to equal  the score. Her team mates were encouraging her to concentrate and close the game. She won  the crucial point and GI  won the game. Her team hugged and high five each other. Underlay,Underlay was all one could hear.Glen Innes had won and the crowd just went crazy. Tainah was hoping she could  carry  play with  the same passion in the finals.

Well Tainah forgot about the embarrassment of the impromptu haka. She was glad that she could help her team. She was so proud of her passionate haka and her volleyball game.

Blade - Last Day of Sports Camp

Teachers and children were getting bored waiting for the bus to come. Andrew saw us still waiting for the bus to come so he gave the children a few balls to play with. Teachers and  a few children were playing a little game of football while other children were playing on the park. One hour latter of still waiting for the bus Andrew said “That the children could go on the water slide for only half hour. All the children was well over the moon when they got told that they could go on the water slide.

WALT: write a narrative sports camp.

Ohh the  day we had to go back home. Some people were not happy on leaving sports camp.

Mr Hendricks barked out the instructions to clean up our dorms and pack our bags up. When the children  finished  packing their bags they had to put it in the center where everyone was sitting. Some children were lagging off the cleaning duties. When the children finished cleaning up they all had to meet in the same spot where the teachers and children put their bags. After that they picked up their own bags and carried it to where the bus would meet them.

Half hour after having so much fun on the slide finally the bus turned up. When the teachers loaded the bags into the back of the bus. After that children found them a seat on the bus and sat down. Off went the bus leaving the camp grounds. Going  back to Glen Innes School in Auckland. On the way to School the tyres whirr and then one of them popped. The bus driver pulled over and check the tyres. The bus driver changed the popped tyre. It took the bus driver about 20 minutes. After that we were back on the road and off to school. We had a very awesome trip on the bus back to school.

Blade Put Down

WALT: write a report/narrative.

On the twenty eighth August a twenty one year old sumatran tiger, Cantik had died at Wellington Zoo.

The tiger’s name was Cantik which means beautiful in Indonesia. Cantik came from Burger's zoo in the Netherlands in 1994. Cantik was loved at Wellington Zoo and she had twenty cubs.  There are only about three hundred to four hundred Sumatran tigers in the wild. Tigers in the wild only live for about ten to fifteen years and in the zoo they live to about sixteen to twenty years but Cantik lived over twenty years. Cantik died from  malignant adrenal tumors and severe arthritis.

I think animals should get receive euthanasia. If an animal is very ill they could just put them down and die in peace. I think Wellington zoo now should  get some more Sumatran tigers and make them popular. I did not know the tiger so I would not miss the tiger.

Britney Pizza Game

The walt in this game was to learn how to make pizzas. We are making pizzas by serving, making, and presenting to customers. I was going to  taking orders, making them then serving then doing it all over again.

It was all easy, but it got challenging when more and more customers came, they were getting really angry. It would be more difficult, If the pizzas cooked faster, or you had to get a lot of toppings, and if there was time for everything.

Next I want to learn to be a proffessional at it.

Mary- Fraction Game

Walt: Write fractions in the lowest terms.

I know how to write fractions in their lowest terms because I know my timetables very well. My strategy to figuring out what's a the simplest form to 5/10 I would use my five times tables to figure out the answer because 5 divide by 5 equals one, so you put one in the numerator so 5 divide by 10 equals two.then you put your answer to that goes in the denominator so all that equals to ⅕. I thought it was challenging because I tried to beat my time but I didn’t. I only beat my score and my medals. You could make it more hard if you add tricky fractions in the game that what makes me think. Next I would like to improve my speed at forming the fractions lowest forms.

This game is really challenging for me because I had to make the orders in time so I can get more tips. It was good to have a change of games this week, because my teacher Mrs. Ramkolowan usually gave my group maths games like hooda maths.com or mathletics but she changed the games now. The easy part was just making the pizza. The hard part was getting the orders in time. This game can’t be more difficult than it is. I would like to get faster at the orders.

Matthew,Rheumatic Fever

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the public health dept.

Prevention is better than Cure

On 6 August, the whole school of Glen Innes school went to the hall to talk about Rheumatic fever. It was a special assembly. Dr Alison Leversha from Star ship Hospital came to us. It took 25 minutes. Three Warriors players and an X Warrior player came to us to interest us to take care of you throat. The three Vodafone Warriors showed us when a doctor comes in a class and say who has a sore throat you will get a swab by a nurse. I thought the Vodafone Warriors was going to talk about Rheumatic fever, but they didn’t.

Awen Guttenbeil talked to us when he had Rheumatic fever. He played for the Kiwi league team and the Tongan league team. He told us that Rheumatic fever could lead us to death. He never told his mum or dad that he had a sore throat. He told us that on the day the athletics he couldn’t get out of bed. He had saw joints. He dragged himself through the hallway to tell his mum or dad that he has a terrible problem. Awen’s mum and dad took Awen straight to the hospital.  After 2 months the doctor told the mum and dad that Awen has Rheumatic fever. Rheumatic fever starts from a sore throat.

In conclusion I think that I should take care of my throat. Sore throats leads to Rheumatic fever and that could lead to death.

Saleha- Rhyming poem on Ta'valo

Walt : write a rap to share the facts on  a Ta’ovala.

Just like new

In the kingdom of Tonga

As a sign of respect

People wear Ta’ ovala

to a special place

to avoid family disgrace

To a funeral people wear black

If you don't you're really slack

On top of that you wear a decorated Ta’ ovala to make it flash

Ta’ ovala is passed from generation to generation

sometimes to another nation

Kiekie are the modern style

you wear it to birthdays  

and even down the aisle

Homemade ones are the best

because they beat the rest

They are made from flax

and thats a fact

with lots of love

from deep down in the heart .

Mikayla: Moneywise

Walt: write a response to the talk by Evan.

My thoughts about this is actually making me think about this topic properly. It makes me spend money in the correct way. Evan has taught me how to spend and to handle money. Sometimes I would like to improve the spending that Autymn and I do. I focussed on Evan because he had a really good point and his personality was a funny. It was like he had everyone’s attention. It was helpful for Evan to come to school and to give us advice and information about the benefits and the income. It was nice he shared some of his stories about his spending. I think he had a hard life trying not to spend that much money. Most of the time when I get money from my parents I try to save it, but after a few days I spend it. I would love to improve my spending real fast. My family helps me to save my money or tells me to put it in my bank account. I even put my money in my piggy bank.

Crystal :Prevention is better than Cure

Walt: respond to the presentation given by the Public Health Dept..

This morning we went to a special assembly. It was all about rheumatic fever. Special guests came to our school, Awen Guttenbeil, a few Warriors League team players and nurses like Elizabeth and Kristy. They were all here to tell us about how to prevent rheumatic fever than to cure it.

Rheumatic Fever starts with a sore throat.  The nurses and Dr Alison Leversha that planned this whole thing explained what is rheumatic fever and how you can stop it from happening. Nurses do something very simple to see if you have Rheumatic Fever and they take a swab of your throat.

The Vodafone Warriors helped by doing the swab test. That was very funny and very convincing too. Even the Warriors were telling us kids to tell our parents, doctor or even a public school health nurse. It’s as simple as that.

Awen Guttenbeil told me personally about his experience with rheumatic fever. One day he was lying in bed and he said he couldn't move. He felt paralysed. It was hard for him to walk. That has also happened to me once. I admired Awen because, he didn't let that affect his normal life. Awen took treatment for 10 years. Then finally he was back to normal.

I regret not telling my parents that I had a sore throat way back then. But  I have been  receiving treatment for 10 years and I do what other normal 12 or 13 year old do too.

Clear Phobia

Walt: describe our phobias.

My phobias

My phobias is people following me at night-time. If I see someone walking behind me at night and I am alone, I tend to walk faster or run to where I'm suppose to go. My other phobia is going for long boring rides, like driving all the way from Auckland to Wellington because I get car sick. I think I have a lot more phobias, I just haven’t figured them out yet.
