Ballad about camp

 

Here is a ballad of when the seniors of St. Bernadettes went to wooden christian camp. The camp was in week 3 so thats a long time ago, we made some memories there it was alot of fun. It wasn't easy making the ballad because we had to make words ryhme and flow. but it was kinda easy getting the words to flow tho. Hope you like my ballad 

 As we get ready to sleep One of the boys took a peak There was so much sounds So I slept on the ground And before I closed my eyes one of the boys had to speak. As we lay down on our beds Ezra was talking about a girl I was thinking of curls Then we started to sing Mark was talking about ping And I felt like I was gonna hurl Mr. Matai comes and barks I was thinking to myself don’t be a nark We heard pounds It was loud We came back in and I think I saw a spark. The sun hasn’t even risen yet and the boys are up at 5 They all were talking and I still closed my eyes. Boys coming in and out And then Taimane came and got close to my ear and started to shout. I walked outside and looked up and saw there was dark skies Sometime later the girls are finally awake the boys were set to leave. The girls looked like they weren’t pleased We went out to have fun Me and mark sat down because we were done. If Ezra didn’t wake us up

The lost village

So during quarantine my class has been doing creative writing but this one is different because we did our writing on a google form and we haven't done this before so this was fun for us. This took us about 4 weeks to make it was not easy to do but it was fun, we went from call to call and then we put the hours into our writing and we creating a masterpiece.

 The things that were easy was doing the question and stuff because it was fun making them and kinda hard. I liked this kind of writing because it was new to me and I like new things.

 The things that were hard was making the writing because I got confused sometimes when making the google form, it was fun though and thats what matters.

The ANZAC violin

WALT: Use descriptive language

 In class we have been reading this book, the title was the ANZAC violin it was about this man his name was Alexander Aitken, he was carrying around this violin through out his hole time in the war. After we had read the book our teacher said to us to go and make a diary entry for one of the parts in the book, so what we did on the first day was we created a attrbutes charts for our writing. then later on we started to create our diary entries. The part I chose in the book was when he was laying down wounded, that stood out for me because I thought it could be really good for a diary entry. Something that was easy about this writing was getting ideas and putting them into my diary entry. But something that was difficult about doing this diary was thinking of ideas because I had trouble thinking of some more ideas.


 As I lay wounded, the sounds of gunfire surround me as I quickly crawl to the trench. As I lay down in the dusty trench, blood starts gushing out of my clothes and as I’m screaming I start to hear commands to fire or move, as the commands get called a bomb blows off nears us after 10 minutes or so I start to open my eyes and as I open them my vision gets blurry but as I’m looking around I see comrades on the ground dead. As I struggle to get up shots are flying past me and hitting the dirt, I start to limp I struggle

Persuasive writing

WALT: persuade people on a topic of your choice e.g you want to persuade mum to give you a pay raise.

 Why we should play rugby at school

 Share - We could share our moves with the kids and maybe your own.

- So if kids are bored they could play rugby on the field.

- So we can teach them how to play rugby properly.

 Learn - We can teach them where to tackle and how to tackle.

 -We can show them how to defend their try line or how to defend with a line.

 Stress relief - So they can let their anger out on a tackle bag.

-They could be angry but when they get on the field and play for the whole game it will tirer them out and they will be happy but exhausted.

-They could be afraid of rugby but trust me once they play the game more often they will get confident and they will want to play rugby games forever.

 Why we shouldn’t play rugby at school I am here to explain why we don’t need to play league/rugby to show that our school is strong.

 Reason 1 - Because people will get hurt or break something in their body, there was a man who played rugby and he was paralysed from being in a scrum.

 - In schools the principal banned tackling for the kids safety because he doesn't want the kids injuring themselves.

 - I say that rugby is more dangerous than soccer because of all of the contact that is made in the tackles.

 Reason 2 - We can explain to them why we should ban rugby at school.

 - Also we can tell them stories about people who have been injured so they will know why we should not play rugby at school.

 - We could show them videos and pictures so they can know why we don’t play rugby.

 Reason 3 - so if the kids are feeling really scared of rugby then we could help them get out of the sport and play something else than rugby/league.

 - We could release all the pressure of them because they are not playing the sport.

 - We could explain to them why the sport is too dangerous for them and they will walk out of the sport and play something else because there are many sports that you could play.

 I hope this will help you get out of rugby/league and play a different sport like soccer, hokey, baseball, netball, basketball and more. I hope you can make a choice than rugby/league, maybe in the future you could be a star in any sport.

 In my writing my topic was why we should play rugby at school and we had to give three reasons in 1 paragragh and I had three paragraghs. It was hard to give good reasons to persuade the reader. Then after I finished my first topic I flipped it and wrote why we shouldn't play rugby at school. That was getting easier but harder at the same time, so I did my research and I found interesting facts and I wrote those ideas in my writing. It was hard but at least I fnshed the work and never gave up.

Why my school should have a canteen

WALT: write shorter persuasive post by making a claim and backing it up with reasons. I can plan for a longer persuasive post by identifying the topic, audience and genre. I can research my topic by a question, searching for sources, indentifying information and paragraphsing the facts.

 So in class we had to make a persuaive piece of writing and we had to make a topic up and my topic was we should have a canteen. I wrote about this topic because I just thought that we could use a canteen because it could be helpful for me and the school. It was kinda hard because I had to find the facts and try and put the facts into my own words, it was kinda of a work out for my brain because of the ideas that were popping out of my head and onto my screen. I was really close from giving up but I didn't and so I made this piece of writing.

We should have a canteen

 I believe this school should have a canteen because if kids are hungry or need something, there will be a canteen just sitting there waiting for them.

 But the question is where are we going to put the canteen? I say we should put it next to the staff room or maybe not the staff room maybe on the platform next to the hall, so if the teachers are hungry and they forget to bring their lunch, then they can just take a few steps and bam they are there getting themselves a coffee or a snack or to see how the students are going with their new job at the canteen! 

If the kids can’t bring money to school then we will do something for the kids to buy something, for example this kid from this school could do very well and if he was lucky enough he could get a special token, the token is to buy stuff like food or drinks or even something healthy for snack break, but adults can use their money because they are allowed. If we can’t find adult workers then we can ask kids if they would like to volunteer to work for the canteen.

 The things that will be put into the canteen will be like an even amount of treat food and drinks but also lots of healthy things like drinks and food so then the kids can stay healthy and strong and also the teachers. The drinks could be anything like a healthy drink or a little bit of a sugar drink or a coffee, the coffee can be anything you want it to be like black or white latte and more, we want the teachers happy and we know they love their coffee!

 We need healthy things in our canteen because in New Zealand kids are eating too much junk food and it is making kids build up skin. We need to stay healthy so we can live longer and eat healthier throughout your whole life.

Descritive writing

WALT:
- Use paragraphas to ink similar ideas together
- Write in structure, well developed paragraphs that flow well from one to the next within the text
- use linking words pharases to link paragraphs for effects

 In class we had to descripe a man who was sitting in a dark room. So we had to use the five sences to make a paragraph. We drafted before we wrote. When I was writing this text it was really hard because you had to describe the man by using the five sences.

As the man was sitting in a cold damp room the only thing he could see was darkness when he looked out the window he saw people having a great time that was when he started to cry, so he closed his eyes and he saw nothing and that was the reason he was crying because he has nothing to care about. He kept his eyelids shut until he fell asleep.

 Once he awoke he started to remember his past why he is here in this room. It was 1999 he was in prison for 4 years until he broke out but he forgot something of course his mates he would never leave them behind, well he did but only for 3 years. The reason why is because he was making a master plan an undercover cop trying to get his mates out of prison

The mischievous conqueror that went missing

The legend about the mischievous conqueror

In the middle of the magic forest lived a successful conqueror. He rules half of the land that the villages live on, then suddenly he vanish in mid air, all that was left of him was dust light brown dust on his gigantic throne and his staff on the floor. No one could remember him or his name, but one person his trustworthy handsome minion joe. (not handsome) he seeked for him for years and years he had a beard, before he left the castle he remembered that the year was 2000. Then he came back he asked a person from the village what was the year and he said “2019”, joe's eyes pop and yield “2019!”he ran back to the where the castle castle was located and didn’t see him or the castle he was frightened. Then he heard his name being shouted “JOE, JOE, JOE!!!!” he turned around and saw a man in a villany suit he ran to the man and it was his master the ice king ruler of most towns and cities he was shredding tears down his face he ran to him opened his arms but once he touched him he woke up. It was all a dream,

 And that is the legend about the conqueror vanishing.

 In class we had to use this learning game thing it was called story started what we had to do was use that story starter and what ever came up was had to write about that. What I got was a very successful conqueror that suddenly went missing, so then I wrote about my topic and I think it came out pretty well. In the story starter there were cateorgories and we had to choose out of them, they were fantasy, sci-fi and then scramble. What I chose was fantasy it was about castles and knights.

 What I enjoyed about writing about the conqueror was that it didn't have to be true it had to fake and that was what I found fun because I am good at making up stories and it was easy. What I would change in my writing is the ending and to put more descriping words because whaen you look at it, it looks boring but if I put more descriping words then my writing would be fun and be making the reader hooked. What I found interesting was how much I can write when it has to be fake and when it has to be real because when I do a story the is real there will be lest words to read but when it is fake then there will be a lot of words to read.

Where is the love?

We listened to a song and then we had to write about the song.

Where is the love?

 I was walking down the street I saw a homeless person getting arrested and for getting kicked out from stores, so I walked past I saw people staring at me and that was when I saw another homeless person getting arrested and that was when I had enough. Then I went to help that homeless so by saving the homeless I had to do a crime then the cops caught then I asked them why? Why would you arrest a homeless person then when I heard the answer I was feriors because he said that he was black. So then I ran and said God bless.

 Thank you for letting me go to camp and getting my gear ready for camp, thank you for all the support and for signing my papers. When I went to camp I was happy and when I got back you saw me having a smile.

Waterslide

WALT: compose a poem about the waterslide

 The waterslide

After when the activities were finished I was walking to the water slide with excitement. Then I walked up to the top and was waiting in line. When Petelo went down the water slide I could see everything and I was panicking until Neima’s dad said GO! I went down the waterslide like a penguin flying through stickers went up my back. That is why I have lumps and I live for another day.

The fear of the flying fox

WALT: write a descritve recount about senior camp.

 Our task was to write about our favorite activety and my one is all about the flyingfox.

The flying fox 

 most of the seniors went to camp and we splitted up to year 5, 6 and 7’s group, to everyone from room six. My group went to the flying fox when the people from room six started another activity. 

When the people in my group got to the flying fox we got taught how to put on a harness. Then we got told that there was not gonna be enough for all of us so when we got to the end you had to put the buckle behind your back so when you are running the buckle won’t hit your face. But when you have done all of that you sprint back so people get a turn. So then I grabbed a harness. 

 And I was putting my harness on with Felix and Sanele. I went to the line and I was waiting in fear because I am afraid of heights. Then it was my turn. Mr Barnes helped me put on my helmet. and then I started to climb up to the top. When I was up at the top I saw Lachlan go with no fear and I had lots of faith. 

 Then it was my turn, the lady got me ready, I took two steps forward. I was really high up and that was when I had no faith in myself. Then after about twelve seconds I ran and jumped down and when I jumped that was when I conquered my fear of the flying fox. 

 At the end I saw Mr Norman and I think Mr Chapple. When I was going to stop Mr Norman said “run up the platform”. So then I did what he said and when I did it he said that I was the first person to follow his instruction. And I felt proud of myself. 

 But I had lots of fun at camp with the flying fox not just because I followed instructions because I had a have a go attitude.

The mysterios log

The mysterios log 

 I was walking along the hallway and I saw this mysterios log in my house so then I decided to take it into my room but as soon as I said that I wanted it be a dog it looked like my dog I was aaaamazed by the power that this log can do. So then I siad turn into a robot and it did. So now I walk with a 8.9 foot robot it even makes me breakfast, linch and dinner then it teaches my lots of sports like league, rugby, soccer and hocky. But most of all it taught me respect, freindship and loalty and now I use it where ever I go. People call me the bully but now they call me hero and robot teacher. Now my robots name is mike. Now when I need to go to school I say Mike the bike and he turns into the bike then when I so Mike he turns into the robot and we became best freinds for the end of our lives.

 The End

The dark halls

Darkest mind 

 The frezzing house with claw marks coming down the hall I saw these red eyes one eyes had a scar but I couldn’t see it so then I creept up. Close as I was creeping closer the monster went on it’s hands and feet and crawled its way to me but then as soon as I know it claw marks start to get onto the wall so then I tried to run I turned on the lights and I saw a four claw arm werewolf. But I wasn’t scared until the lights popped and the only light that I saw was the moon and the four claw amr werewolfes red eyes. I tried to run but as soon as I got close to the door because I left the open. Back to the scene. As soon as I got to the door the door shut. Then the wolf caught me so then I was screaming for help but no one heared me. Then I saw pennywise. He told me to eat worms and if I don’t he said that you will see more than 100 eyes. Then he disaperad into the black dark night as the sun fell from the sky and the moon rised. I heared creepy sounds roar!, hahahaha, be careful when the moon falls because if you are naught I will come for you. And as I shined the into its eyes i saw the…. BOOGIE MAN! I tried to run but as the moon came to me I turned into the werwolf and I roared like an alpha roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!. As I roared louder and louder the boggie man would say stop it stop it. But as soon he said stop it the whole place almost came down but it just shook. I came out and ran for my life and I made it out I was relife that I got out of the junkyard. I have learnt a lesson never every go into the grave yard unlist you are meeting someone who have past away.

 The End

Information Report: St. Bernadettes

WALT: Write an Information Report. 

St. Bernadette School

Did you know that St. bernadette school was a farm?

That is why the road is call Hei Hei road. Hei Hei stands for chicken. In St. bernadette school we have the C.E.R.R values and they are Compassion, Excellent, Responsibility and respect and as seniors we are role models to the juniors.

 In this school we have a principal and his name is Mr Norman. He is the one who runs this school and makes the rules. He is the best principal he is just like a teacher kind and always happy.

 In class we learn about Jesus and we call that topic Religious education (R.E.) and this term we are learning about sacrament mostly about ination. They are Baptism, eucharist and confirmation and also we are learning about chrism oil. That is when you get blessed and the bishop puts a cross on you forehead with the chrism oil.

 In the morning we talk about the C.E.R.R values on monday. That is when all the seniors come together. Mr Norman came up with the idea to call this time prayer assembly because we talk about what would Jesus do to shorten that sentence we call it W.W.J.D. And we also look at quotes to see what the quotes message is. Then we say an our father and then a hail mary to help us and guide us through this day. Then we say the sign of the cross and then we walk off to our classes to learn even more and have a good day at school.

 We have the best teachers (Miss Bergin) and the best teacher aids (Mrs Sutherland). And that is why I love this school and this is why I call this school home.

Nurses going on strike

WALT: write a letter and show it to the world.

what I had to do was listen to my teacher and think and that was what I did and I wrote this great pecie of writing.

To whom may concern,

 It has come to this moment when I have to talk to you about why do we need nurses. We need nurses because if there is really sick patient that needs health care but they didn’t know that the nurses went on strike the patient will probably die or suffer and spread that sickness around the hole hospital or even the world!

 So if I was a doctor/nurse and I had to work night shift and it was payday and I got a little amount of cash I could either fuss about it and go on strike and let the sick people die or I could think on the positive side and just forget about. (atleast you have money)

 I love doctors/nurse because some are genouros and some can be rude but it dosen’t matter because everyone is diffrent because God created diffrent sizes of people because everyone is special just the way they are. I wish people can just get along and enjoy time with eachother and also (DON’T WASTE IT).

 You’s sincerly: Micah

Reasons why Matariki is important

Why is Matariki important?
 You will learn alot from these facts.

 Firstly the people in NZ learn of the seven Matariki stars because they are Papatuanuku’s grand daughter. So they learn about uruaragi and the rest of the sister.

 Secondly we learn about Matariki because it is a time of silence and a remembrance of those who have died in war and in the past. So we are in silence to show respect for those soilders and people.

 Thirdly Matariki is the Māori new year so it is like thanks giving but it is winter so the people of NZ go outside and wear coats. Then after that we spend time with whānau (family) because you are busy everyday so this day will help you use all of your time and spend it all on your whānau. After that you tell your family to come and members of the family tell Māori. Just like you can tell a story about Maui and the sun or telling them about Matariki.

Reasons of matariki learn more about nature and you get closer to nature so then we learn about the seven Matariki stars gift or lessons like the all of the God.
