The Lucky day

“First day of summer” beamed Jacob from his window. He had been waiting for summer to come all semester. Jacob is just an average kid, loved sports, did good in school, had a loving heart also a passion for camping. It was the last night at home until Jacob went camping for a few days. He made sure his phone was charged, enough food, enough water and proper clothes and shoes.

A beautiful blue sky, blistering summer sun, it was a perfect day to go camping. Around 10 o’clock Jacob started his hike. Since Jacob was hiking he didn’t want to get bored so he kept himself occupied with his catchy music and trendy dance moves. After a couple of songs Jacob lost his contraction and his mind was somewhere else.

A few hours went fast like a blink of an eye. The blistering sun was settling down while the relaxed moon made it’s way to the indigo sky. Jacob hadn’t found a place to sleep but since it was getting dark he placed his tent in the middle of nowhere. As soon as the tent was up Jacob made a nice-heated fire and put together a delicious meal.

In the middle of the Jacob woke up. He could hear growling wind which sounded like howling wolves on a full moon. The ground was hard as a rock which made it uncomfortable for him. It was no use for him to sleep but he tried hard and eventually he fell fast asleep. Early dawn he packed his stuff and started hiking again he was on a mission to go to his favourite camp place.

During the day he came upon an unsteady path with lots of slippery rocks. Jacob didn’t worry too much because he thought he had to right pair of shoes on, but he was wrong!. He was dragging his feet across the path until he slipped and fell down a hill. As he was proceed to go now the hill he scraped his leg on a sharp pointy rock.  

He reached the bottom, he couldn’t breathe properly, gripping onto his leg like it’s going to fall off, his face turning red, painting like no tomorrow. But apparently it was his lucky day the helicopters saw him laying helplessly on the dirty ground and rushed him to hospital. Jacob was so thankful that the helicopters were there to save him from torture. So for the rest of the summer he had to recover and look after his leg.

Summary

Ngā Tātarakihi o Parihaka

As Rarawa was kneading the bread she heard that the government men were coming. She was shocked but Aunty Maata was okay with it because they come and go saying the same thing but they never listen. While Rarawa was running through the streets she was messengers everywhere. At the river she didn’t worry about her clothes she just dived right in. When Rarawa stuck her head out of the water, her friend asked her if she could hear the soldiers, Rarawa was scared that she got out of the water as fast as could and they went back to the village. The pakeha government were marching down the fences and destroying crops, but they brang no violence. Rarawa father was sent to jail when she was 12, she is now 13 and she was worried that she wouldn’t see him again. The soldiers were coming closer to Rarawa and the girls as they were slapping the poi’s on their hand. People of Parihaka greeted the soldiers with peace. As the children were singing with great power the soldiers pushed their way through and the smell of their sweat was too overpowering. Then they told the people that they had to leave. Everyone was in shock. They also took Te Whiti and Tohu.

Jump rope for heart

Maths e-asttle

Today I sat a L3/4 strand test. As you can see I got a 4B I am happy that I got a 4B because I hardly ever get 4’s so this is a miracle. I found this test alright it wasn’t easy and it wasn’t hard. But my goal is to get a 5B at the end of the year.  

Additicitions/Drugs

This week my group has been learning about additicitions. Yesterday we made a poem and poster about it. We were learning about addictions because it is related to our topic studies. For me it was easy to do a poster but writing a poem was hard.

Scatter graph

Scatter graph

Big	Medium	Small
944cm	288cm
210cm	474cm
56cm	279cm
17cm	466cm

This week we have been learning about scatter graphs. We  made paper planes but they had to be 3 different sizes big,medium and small. We had to throw the paper planes and measure how far they got in cm. It was really hard because each group only had 2 tape measures. Once we had our measurements we had to record them into our books. When that was done we had to  plot our measurements. Then we had to draw one straight line to connect as many points as possible. Next I would like to learn about kilometers.
