Word Problems

The Case Of the Phantom Tagger

In my literacy class we have been learning about to solve relationships between two people. Example. Mother and Son. Mother always left son alone and son had no one with him he was only 6 years old. Mother and son relationships bad because the mum leaves the son alone at home by himself.

I was at the starting line,I thought I was going to faintand my legs started to feel like jelly and they locked into the spot. I really wanted to take off home or flee to the scene but I had no time to because the two blocks slammed together, and then that was it, all the Year 8 Girls sprinted off like a team.I was at the starting line,I thought I was going to faintand my legs started to feel like jelly and they locked into the spot.

Sleeping Advice Blog

Kia Ora,
In Room 1 for literacy with Mr Wiseman we have been learning about sleep, You should at least get about 9-11 hours of sleep if you dont get enough sleep you will be grumpy and bad words will come out of your mouth and that wont be good for. Here is some sleeping advice that I can give you. My friend gave me some questions to anwser and needed help with her sleep because he friends kept saying she was grumpy and I fingured out that her friends are saying that because she does not get enough sleep. 

BFG Movie

Last term  our literacy teacher Mr Wiseman read to us a Roald Dahl's book called the BFG. Yesterday our literacy class and some other children that have been working hard in there class, went to watch the recently realesed Movie BFG. 

I thought the movie was Scary at the Start and then got scary when the BFG took sophie from her window and then got scary because of the other mean giants names were ............ The Fleshlumpeate, The Manhugger , The Meatdripper, The Childchewe, The Butcher Boy,The Maidmasher,The Bonecruncher and The Gizzardgulper. But I felt sorry for Sophie because she lost her paerents when she was little and she lived in a orphanage with mean people and she did not like the orphanage because she dreamed about the boogy Man. Then when it got to the end I felt it funny because how they was drinking frobscottle and when they drank it they farted. 

The book was really boring because it did not have that much details and was not scary that much and in the book it did not say that there was a boy that had a red jacket and the little boy died and got eaten by the maidmasher. The movie was better because it was more intresting and It was scarier and That I thought the BFG was a ninja because how he was hiding alot from the other people. Then at the end Sophie got adopted my the Queen and then everyone was the BFG's friend and the all likd a drink called Frobscottle. Also the BFG was growing a garden at the Castle............

My favourite charcter was the BFG because  he was nicer than the other Giants and he was nice to sophie and cared about her and Sophie also cared about the BFG and says like why would you let them beat you up. So I really like the movie BFG and I will go and see it again. I hope we all really liked  the movie. If I was to rate the movie I will rate it a 10 and the book a 1.

Winter Learning Journey 2016

During the ancient Olympic Games, Men's were allowed to participate In The Ancient Olympic Games But Girl's Were Not allowed. Do you think it is fair and why do you think that?

I think that was fair because Girls Could easily get hurt and the Men will get hurt but they will be strong and get over it and girls will not get over it and they will get upset.

Thank - You For Reading My Blog and Happy Holidays. Please keep reading my blog and post comments and I will try and reply to your comments. Enjoy your Holidays and Don't Forget to Help your Mum & Dad at Home.

Manaikalani Film Festival

It was a hot sunny day, the Yrs 7 & 8 are waiting for the bus to come and drop us off to Sylvia park. “Why are We going to Sylvia Park?” thought my new friend “Well this is where we go every year in Term 4 we create movies for kids and teachers from different schools to see and watch what we have been doing for the last few weeks.”

Waiting and waiting until beep beep the bus has arrived we lined up in Boy and Girl lines. up we go on the bus, with our partners. We are now traveling to Sylvia park. We couldn't wait to see lots of different kids creating their own movies.

Oh and I just forgot that we were also excited because it was Ruapotaka school came with us and it was there first time coming to the Manaiakalani film festival. Out we go, we walk and walk until until we went inside the movie theater, walking past our Whanau the presenters.

Up goes Mr Burt introducing himself to schools, students, teachers and Presenters. The movie has begin at the back of me I could hear people cheering for their friends and supporting people. We watched almost 30 movies, some of them were interesting and cool. I was so embarrassed because it was our movie next, our movie was about the Air New Zealand Ad. “Here comes the Men in black” said Alizhay next to me. I could see Alizhay dancing, It was about to finish.

It was the last movie, sitting and waiting until it was time to go back to school. My Favorite Movie was Room 2 It was Called a Little Germ. Did You Know? That a little germ, Can Make Everyone sick if you pass it on. How can you make you feel better. You Can Put hand sanitizer on and you will feel better because it takes a little germ to make people sick.
