Quick write: Can you here...

 This week I´m going to share my Quick-write with you.  If you wonder when your reading this, I made it up. It is about a girl called Daniele, who I refer to as me, and the eventful times her city went through. ENJOY!!

Can you here... that explosion? ¨Daniele!¨ my mother called.                            Another bomb went off. The glass in my windows shattered from  the force of the Bomb. Houses were lopsided, ours was tilting a bit too. I didn't want to be in it, when it tipped. Nor to be squashed by it. I freaked out as our house gave another jerk. ¨Ahh!¨ I screamed, as I fell sideways to under and out of the door way. That wasn't a bomb, so what was it? The ground gave another shudder. EARTHQUAKE!! I looked around, frantically for a place to cover me. There was nothing. I ran. I ducked under archways as I narrowly missing chandeliers crashed been under just minutes before came hing down on my head. Yikes, I thought as the archway I was under, minutes before, came crumbling down. ¨Daniele!¨ My mother called, more frantically this time. ¨Coming!¨ I called

I flew down a flight of stairs. Just as I reached the next flight of steps, another bomb went of.I started off down the stairs, but, as my foot hit the forth stair, it crumbled beneath me. ¨Ahh!¨ I screamed again as mybody plummeted down into the mattress cupboard.  The word mattress echoed in my head. There was something I should remember about them, but what was it?POOF!! The mattress´s went as I landed on it. White stuffing exploded out of them as I sunk down. ¨That's it!¨ I said aloud, ¨Mattress´s are soft!¨

I climbed out of the cupboard to see my mother looking up at me from under her desk. Just then another earthquake hit. I stayed on my feet this time, but slid towards the open window. The force of the earthquake made me topple backwards, slightly. To much. I toppled out of the second story window.  The last thing I saw was my mothers aghast face as I fell.

I hope you enjoyed my Quick-write.  Thanks for Reading! Bye.

Murder Mystery Maths

 Hi, I´m Charlotte.   On wednesday, 28th of july 2021, we found 2 people that may be the murderer of an inspector, of a hotel. It's not real, It's just the backstory to make our math fun.  We have to figure out the clues and find out who murdered the inspector. On wednesday we had to answer decimals such as...

2/3 of 27 & 1/8 of 48...

So on and so on.  as I sat down on the mat Koka N, (Naigre), gave me my worksheet. I pulled out my pen as I, Once again, became a detective of this murder.  I scribbled down answer after answer, until there was nothing left.  The clue was...

The murderer rides a Motor-bike...  

I lined up for my check, even though I knew I had the answer right, and waited. I waited for what seemed like was dusk to dawn, then she checked it. I had it right!  She scribbled down her signature  just as I walked away.  Next Wednesday I shall find the convicted murderer.

See you Next week!

To Waste Our Life

Hi, this week Me and my Reading Group have been rewriting a News Article off Kiwi kids News.  Its Called ¨To Waste Our Life¨, by a year 9 student called Ariana Hunt.  It's about Online shopping and/or the Online shoppers.  If you want to change and reduce the plastic in our oceans I recommend, NOT, Online shopping.  Here is my writing...

Online shopping is good but bad.  It's good because it´s ´easy´ and ´fast´, But it's bad for the environment.  Did you know the packaging of online shopping kills, ONLY, 100,000 animals per year? Its been going on for a while now, and we don't want it to continue in the future,  You'd think it's good,  not wasting petrol to drive ´unnecessary´ places, but actually, it's worse.  The things you order get coated in plastic, and more plastic and petrol is wasted to get it to you.  People started doing online shopping last year in lockdown because they couldn't go out of their house´s.  Occasionally the Item you buy says the box is, COMPOSTABLE in big bold letters, but it doesn't break down in the compost.  It just hurts more of our environment.  Plastic is recyclable!!!

L3 Maths strand

 On monday, the 21st of june, me and  some more people from my class had a workshop.  This workshop is about math such as Measurement.  Some of the measurement we have been working on lately is Mass, Weight, Volume, and capacity.  We added in liquid because the things we have studied in strand,´Measurement´, is oranges. this is about how these things can connect to each other and oranges, it is also what we found out when we measured them.

Odd Day

On monday there was a day of school, as you might know, it was the Queens  Birthday.  Than on tuesday we had a reliever.  In room 2 there was a teacher called Koka Katie, in room 1 there was a reliever called Koka Kathline.  The teachers split the classes, even though where used to working together, that was sad for me because most of my friends are in room 2.  Each class was doing some art.

In room 1 we were doing some Picasso Art.  First we chose an odd shaped head, it was so odd.  Than we drew a face inside of a face, we kept doing some more odd objects until we had done it all. we got to choose how we did the face and hair though.   Last we did some odd shapes in the face and coloured them in.

In the afternoon, after lunch, we had to go to split classes for learning through play.  I chose to go to woodburners, its were you create things out of wood and sea glass, occasionally even shells.  I decided to use the hot glue gun.  I glued on to a piece of wood, some shells, and a bit of sea glass. it was a fun, but odd day.

Gymnastics festival

I can't Believe it! The Gymnastics Festival was on Tuesday, and we got callbacks!Box was up first, and so was I.  We each, (Me, Lola, Charlotte, Alivia, And Aria,)  had one warm up, and then, BAM!!  I was over, and it was done!  I sat down and watched as Alivia, Lola, Charlotte, and Aria Each made it over.  Charlotte's score 8.4.  So was Lolas.  Then there was Aria´s, If I hadn´t already told you, she's a really good  gymnast.  Her score was 9.4!!! (Out of 10.)   Next we had beam.  Aria was so good at it.  She did her routine flawlessly.  Lola and Charlotte forgot the Arabesque, Me and Alivia remembered it and did it pretty well. I forgot our scores for the beam. Last but not least was floor.  I was up first, again. I could tell it was way to short, but they still gave me 8.00. That was good enough for me.  Aria was the best, and Lola, Charlotte, and Alivia did it well to.

After about 2 or 3 hours we had rhythmical.  Alivia was our cheerleader, Even though she forgot to cheer. We did our start, and our end, and all of what was in between.   While we did our bow I could hear the crowds cheering.  Somehow, we got into callbacks, and it was amazing fun.

Callbacks were on Wednesday night.  We had to wait for about 2 hours and 20 minutes.  We got to watch all the best gymnasts as a group, and as a solo.  We were about the 3rd to last act.  The crowds were even bigger than last time, and the cheering was thundurus.  the reason the crowd was bigger was because the intermediates and high schools did it to, and most people in every family showed up.  It was extremely fun!! bye🥇

Intense Times

With the Gymnastics festival edging closer were working harder than ever.  We only have 3 days of practice left, I've began practicing Day in, and day out. With A-Grade in the morning, and rhythmical at morning tea, and lunch, Were doing a lot.  All the free time we have is going to gym.  

My Rhythmic teacher is panicking, because we don't know the entire dance yet.  We've booked out the gym for friday, 12.40 pm-2.15 pm.  Our dance is getting better, and we have a few more tricks.

Our practice is getting more and more squashed because were rushing to finish the dance.  We practice quite often now, as we do all the things we need to.

I can't believe It!! In A-grade, we know all our routines of by heart. YAY!!!  We started learning it and practicing it last week. Only 5 people from our school are in A-grade, and yet we all got it so Quickly.  Aria is soooo dainty with her beam, and floor.  We ALL just stare at her while she practices.  she's much better than the rest of us,  she's the best in the School!!  I'm getting more and more nervous about my floor routine, we have, well, had, to make it up!!

With so much going on, all of it based around gymnastics, people are getting more and more nervous.  I wonder how it will all turn out.  Tune in next week to find Out!

Our school!!
