My Dragon Poem

This is my dragon acrostic poem. I used Tux paint

My Narritive

It was dark, I could not see anything. So I went outside to check the fuse box to check what the problem was. Marvin opened it up and it was alright. So he went back inside.

Marvin tried to flick the light switch on and it wouldn’t work. So he tried to call a technician but the phone line was cut.

Next he went for a run around the block. He thought the power will turn back on when he came back. But when he did come back it didn’t turn back on. It was 8:00pm and it was still dark.

Then it was 10:00pm and the power was still not on. So he went to all the houses on the street and knocked on the doors and nobody would answer. So he went in the middle of the road and screamed out “ Is  anyone here !!”. In the corner of his eye he saw a little child peek out of the window and as quick as flash Marvin turned around and that child moved away from the window. So Marvin went to that house and knocked on the door as loud like he was kicking it and said “ I know your inside here I saw your child peek out through the window !!”. So They Didn’t open the door.

After he went through the alley-way to the other side and heard a whisper “Psssssssst you” and Marvin looked everywhere and as fast as the wind Marvin ran right down the alley-way. When Marvin reached his destination Marvin Saw No cars and also no power. Marvin had to make another trip back up the alley-way and heard another whisper “psssssst you”.

Marvin took a good look around and saw a his neighbour Dean and so Marvin jumped the small wooden fence. When Marvin got to Dean he asked him a question “why is there no power?” Dean replies “ Ohh because one of the generators are broken at the power station and it came on the news” Marvin replies to Dean “Ohh I fell asleep and didn’t watch it. Okay but why won’t people answer their door Dean replies back “ Ohh That Party that you had last week” Marvin says “Ohh Yeah”. Marvin say’s to Dean “Thank you”.

So Marvin went home and said to himself “ So the generators are broken but that party hmmm”.

My digital poster about my favourite subjects at school

These are my favourite subjects at school maths, writing, P.E and reading

This week our class learnt about persuasive writing. This is my writing on a topic we were discussing

Topic: Children should work from the age of 8

I disagree with children working at the age of eight because they need to experience life.

Children shouldn't work from the age of eight because they need an education.

Children shouldn't work because they need to experience how to learn words, maths and writing. They might feel down if they don’t know their subjects.

Children might feel sad if they play a sport and miss out on their training and games.

I disagree because children should not be allowed to work at the age of eight they have to be over 16 as the law says.

My Holiday

In my holiday I went to Ten Pin Bowling with my family for my little cousin’s Birthday. Once we had gone inside I went to the arcade and played with a silver token. I played basketball and heaps of tickets came out. When the game finished I grabbed my tickets, I went to the ticket machine I inserted my tickets and I received a receipt and it said you have got 35 tickets in one receipt.

              

Next I went to  bowl and there were 5 games and different people play in those games.  I was in game 2. After we started playing I was first and so I bowled and got a strike. Later the game finished I won out of the five games, my score was one hundred and eleven everyone else had under ninety five.

Later on we went to eat. There was a two kiddy tables and the big people ate outside. When we finished eating we got 7 silver tokens.

I then went back to the arcade and played with my cousin Jordan and spent most of our tokens on the deal or no deal game.  We got 400 tickets all together so we put it in the machine and received 400 tickets in a receipt. Next I got called to go home. Once I walked out of the doors I felt happy about going to Ten Pin Bowling

Stardome Trip

WALT: Write a recount

SC:It must have adjectives, similes and speech

Thursday 9th of May 2013 two classes from the senior

school went to the Auckland Stardome.

Rooms 7 and room 10 got divided into groups. After that we walked in the auditorium the classes sat down in the comfortable seats.

Mr Andrew said no cameras no cell phones turned on and no gum while were in there. Then he said if you don't feel when you're looking at the screen you look at the floor. After Mr Andrew went and played a film about astronauts and how a heart pumps.

The movie looked like we were soaring through a body. Next when the movie finished rooms 7 & 10 went out of the auditorium and saw a telescope, space suit, small spaceship parts and space suit that you can take a photo with.

Next we went in the space room and talked about astronauts. Mr Andrew showed us a video clip of different ways to put on your clothes and brush your teeth in space. Two spaceships didn't make it they exploded. Rooms 7 and 10 left after the space room was finished
