Keeping ourselves safe

Zoe and Aroha are walking home from the dairy eating icecreams. Up ahead of them they notice an unfamiliar car parked at the side of the road. As they approach, a woman winds down the window and calls the girls over . Reluctantly the approached the car. "Hi girls. How are you today?" the lady asked "Were fine thanks," the girls replied. "They look like yummy icecreams. Your mum just called me to come and pick you up because she isn't feeling well" the lady said. Zoe and Aroha looked at each other and decided to run for it. They ran across the road and they quickly looked behind them and saw that the lady was getting out of her car and she started running towards them, they were sprinting in the direction of Zoe's house so they can be safe. They were about to run into Zoe's driveway but Zoe looked behind her and the lady wasn't to be seen, they started walking towards Zoe's front door but then a car drove past Zoe's house, the car looked very familiar; it was the lady in her car. Zoe and Aroha ran into the house and started shouting for Zoe's mum but she wasn't home. There was a knock on the door and the girls had no idea what to do they were frightened. Zoe told Aroha not to open the door but to lock it, Aroha didn't listen and opened the door; "Hello Girls" said Zoes mum "Hi" Aroha replied, Zoe was shocked she didn't even know what to say. Aroha told Zoe's mum what had happened, and Zoe's mum said she was at work and she got held back, so she wasn't home in time. Again there was a knock at the door Zoe's mum walked towards the door, and it was the lady saying that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding, and how she had no idea she scared the kids, "well, you didn't have to chase them" Zoe's mum said in a very serious voice; "Well...well... I JUST WANTED ICE CREAM!!!" the lady shouted, Zoe's mum slammed the door in the lady's face and locked the door. Zoe and Aroha are now safe.

Highlights of Term 3

Highlights Of Term 3

Term 3 was very challenging but I enjoy challenges;

during term 3 we did lots of art, including sharpie, dye, collage and pastel. I've also enjoyed cross country, I even got into North Otago's; but I didn't go because it was in Dunedin and I thought it was a bit far for a ten minute race.

There were many challenges, but one main one for me was working in loud environments with people distracting me. But now I have moved to Elite Special Forces, so I will be able to go and work in quiet spaces by myself. Another challenge for me was working in groups because I found it difficult to just work together and concentrate.

Throughout this term i've learnt many things like making mixed numbers and turning them into improper fractions. I’ve also learnt lots of things about my chosen career as Interior designer for my career studies inquiry.

I can’t wait for term 4 and what remains because we are going to be working closer with the year 7’s.

The Moon And God

The Moon And God

There used to be people who wondered about the moon, some people even thought that the moon was made out of the dairy product we know as cheese, before Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, the moon was a mystery to humans.

Some people relate the moon to god because they are both mysterious to humans, because people don't know much about the moon and God.

The moon reminds me of God because the moon shines bright just like God, even though you may not see God or the moon I know it’s always there.

Book Review - 26 story treehouse

26 storey treehouse

This book is the prequel of “The 13 storey Tree House”. The 26 Storey Tree House is written by Andy griffiths and is illustrated by Terry denton.This book includes new tasks for the boys to get through. At the start of the book Terry dropped his underpants into the shark tank to clean them, but the sharks eat the underpants and get badly ill, so Terry tells Andy, and Andy gets Jill to save the sharks. But Jill has to do “Aquapunture” (<- shark pun). Terry and Andy start talking about their pasts and how they met. This series is easy and quick to read but has little good describing words and is way too silly, but is good for a quick read.

Nothing in this book stood out to me, it was still really easy to read so its good for a quick read. Honestly it is to silly for my taste but i see why other children my age will like this book.

Obviously the creators of this series is trying to make it a comedy and an outrageous book for kids of all ages to read just for fun. There was no real message in this book, its just random the whole way through the book.

I would recommend this book for kids of all ages with a spontaneous and immature personality. This book has no specific gender so it’s enjoyable for girls and boys.

African Art

African art has been around for 2000 years. Originally they used paints made out of roots and pollen out of plants. The reason they use bright paints is because to show show their emotion and their culture. Usually they don't put their art on canvases they use different types of fabric. uslay the woman were the ones that go get the resources and they make the paint.
