The Black Piranha

The Black Piranha 28 August 2015

A while back a man named Charlie went to South America and he wanted to boat across the river. So he set off and boated across the river, he saw a  shadow of a fish underneath his boat then felt a tight feeling in his stomach. A splash of water sprang up and a Black Piranha was inside the boat.

A Black Piranha is a real monster they might be small but they are dangerous, a Piranha is about the average size of a normal fish. A Piranha has red fiery eyes and sharp teeth like a nail, and a stocky body like a bull dog. They even eat their own kind they take big chunks of the Piranha’s fins. They like to hunt by themselves not in a pack (Probably because they don’t want to all be eaten at the same time.) While they are hunting for their meal and they take a bite the Piranha swims away like a click of a finger.

But luckily Charlie threw the Black Piranha out of the boat and back into the river, but he got a battle scar of trying to get it back into the river.

New Zealand milo cup

WALT: Design our own NZ milo cup

Today I made a NZ milo cup.
The first thing I had to do was design a pattern that is from New Zealand so I decided to draw a gumboot. Then we had to draw our design on a cup and trace over it with a whiteboard marker or vivid to make it stand out.

Maths Week

Today for maths week I was playing a game and it had 15 questions and they were pretty hard because I didn't know what some of the answers were. But my friends helped me so that's how I got $1024. I still need to learn how to work them out by myself.

Adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominators

Today in maths I was adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominators. It was easy but I just got 3 wrong because I didn't understand it properly. I need to work on what it's not equivalent to a fraction. I will learn it by asking my teacher how to do it or even ask my friends if they understand.

Lydia taught us a few rules in Hockey like don't swing the Hockey stick in the air , keep the stick below your knees also when she is talking and if you want to put your hand up don't put the stick up. The first game was follow the leader it was pretty easy. After that we played another game it was kinda like Bus stop the colours were green (go) orange (twist the stick) red (stop) purple ( reverse ) sliver ( go fast.)
Then we played a real game but I kept missing the ball and the ball always went out. By the time of our last game it was time to go back to class. I can't wait until next Tuesday.

The Wacky Apples

The Wacky Apples


Walt: Write a personal narrative from a picture.

It was a hot summer day. The skys were blue , birds chirping , lovely green grass. “ Do you want to come with me to the park?” suggested Katie with dark brown eyes and blondish hair. Katie is the type of person that loves to go places with her friends especially with her friend Suzie. Suzie has light blue eyes and brown hair is the type of person that loves reading books however she loves the park too.

As soon as Suzie heard park she got her nose out of her book without even putting her bookmark in her book she jumped up with excitement to say “ Yes let’s go.” Exactly at the same time they got ready and got going. While they were walking to the park Katie spotted an big red apple tree. All of a sudden Suzie stopped and Katie bumped into her. “ Hey what are you doing” Katie demanded rubbing her head “ Look at that big red apple tree , I’m going to go get an apple want to come with me ?” Asked Suzie. When they got to the big red apple tree all the apples looked really disgusting but one just one big red juicy apple was right at the top of the tree.

The two friends just looked at each other and looked back up to the apple trying to figure out how to get the apple. They kept looking around to find objects that will help them get to the top but nothing was around just the two friends , little kids also a ball. Suzie suggested to stand on her shoulders and try and reach the big juicy apple but they were too short. Meanwhile Katie was getting down she saw a man with a ladder so she yelled out to him “ Excuse me can I use your ladder please?” the man answered with a quick “ Yes”.

So up Suzie went while her friend was holding the ladder Suzie grabbed the two big juicy red apples and got down oh and one for the man for being so nice. As soon as those two got the apple they bite into it and was very juicy and mouthwatering.
