Letter To Camp

 Eva B


40 Campion Rd

Gisborne.


Dear Norm,


Today I am writing to you because I want to Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you especially for the delicious food. I loved your Amazing meals, my favourite meal was spaghetti bolenas.


One of the highlights for me was the high ropes and the zipline. The high ropes were pushing me to my limits and I made it to the end. The zip line was tiring going up the stairs but it was really worth it when you went down.


So thank you for everything, thank you for letting us stay there and again, thank you for the terrific food. 

You are AWESOME.


With heaps of gratitude.

Eva B

Piano

 When you're  just a starter, piano is extremely nerve racking.


I was only 9 but I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I was waiting for so long for my name to be called out it felt like a thousand years. my parents on both sides of me telling me it will be ok. I listened to other people play piano and this one girl mucked up and people started to laugh. I was scared that would happen to me


As I thought about my songs they called out a bunch of name’s and one of them was mine. I walked up to the spott to wait, trying my hardest to look brave and not burst out in tears.


As the lady in charge called my number I tried to walk up and out a little smile. I sat one the seat, put my feet on  the pedals and put my fingers on the keyboard. My hands were shaking but it was like the rest of my body was paralysed. I hit the first note and all my nerves washed away like a flood demolishing a house. My songs were indian dance, Rororo your boat and lavender blue.


I was relieved after I’d finished. I got a badge and a certificate and I came first place. My mum and dad said they were so proud of me. I shouted I was terrified because when you're just a starter, piano is extremely nerve racking.


Today I was learning about how to link your first sentence to your last one.

Next time I would talk about what the judge said and write more about my songs.

Mood Rings

 Mood rings react to the temperature. They were invented by two New Yorkers Joshua Reynolds and Maris Ambat they created mood rings in 1975. Mood rings featured fake gemstones that are usually made by glass or quartz. the glass or quartz stone were normally hollow shells filled with liquid crystals. There is a little bit of truth that they do react to you mood. The air temperature may have a bigger effect on the mood rings then the body temperature.

Giant Pandas

Giant Pandas



Giant pandas are a type of bear like a polar bear and others in the bear family. The scientific name is Ailuropoda melanoleuca. Pandas are closely  related to bears but however Red pandas are more related to racoons. Scientists have been in an argument for what pandas are more related to. Giant pandas are going endangered from habitat loss of bamboo.


Pandas are well known for their black and white stripes and bear-like body. They have another thumb on the wrist bone to hold bamboo and to give more support for climbing. They have powerful claws and a sharp bite like a grizzly bear. They also have a habit of sitting up like a human.


Most pandas live in the southern west of China. Pandas live in damp bamboo forests so that the bamboo that they eat is not too hard. They have been here for around 2 million years.


Pandas are very slow walkers so they are not very good hunters. Pandas are really good at swimming and climbing. Pandas are good swimmers because of their strong bulky body.


I think that we need to protect Giant pandas from endangerment because we have already lost heaps of animals by hunting them or polluting the water with plastic. I refuse to let this beautiful creature die.

Wetapunga

Classification:

A wetapunga is an endangered insect that has been transferred to places in New Zealand. A weta can weigh up to three mice and a female weta can grow about the size of a sparrow. The Wetapunga is the heaviest of the eleven giant Weta species.


Description:

A Wetapunga has six legs, a large head, with no nose. But it has palps and palps are on the wetas jaw. They look like paddles.  The Weta has antena twice as long as it's body.


Location/habitat:

The Wetapunga has been here since the dinosaurs ages. They live in New Zealand but they are going extinct so some people are sending them to different islands to survive. The Wetapunga Has been sent to four island.


Dynamics:

The Wetapunga has massive droppings that fertilize the ground. The Weta is also nocturnal, so they sleep during the day and come out at night. Female Weta lay over 300 eggs.I think that we need to protect this special species so people after us can now how much they mean to the earth. I refuse to let the Wetapunga go extinct because they have been here since dinosaur ages. They can be here for much longer so we can not let them die now.

Our Matariki Breakfast

My nose tingle with excitement as I took a deep breath. I sprinted to my class room and thought to myself it's Matariki breakfast time. CARRECK! I opened the door and at the corner of my eye there was all my favourite things to have for breakfast. Hash browns, pancakes, fruit on a stick, donuts, red velvet cupcakes. It was like heaven. When the bell rang I quickly sat on the floor patiently waiting for the teacher to say we can go up and dig in. We had prayers first and After that Miss Hickling said that lady's first to go eat. Me and Tessa was so excited to get the hash browns we weren't even on the floor properly. I jumped up and and waited in line. GRRRR! My stomach was rumbling. "I am starving" I shouted in my head. But when it was my turn I snached a napkin and grabed hash browns and a pancake. I stuffed it in my mouth and the glossy maple syrup on the pancake malted down my throat leaving the taste in my mouth.  I saved the best for last, I saved the hash brown for last.  After that I had a red velvet cupcake and I was super lucky because it was the last one. "That did not last long" Arabella chukled. I squeezed my stomach. That was a bad idea.

Looking through the window into my 2020 lockdown



CRASH! I could hear the waves pounding into each other. “The waves are rough today aye” said dad. It was weird not hearing cars pass by..
''EVA” shouted Matene. “Let’s go for a ride,”
I replied and said “Okay”.
.As Matene backs up the quad I ask my sisters if they want to go to the beach. Bonnie could not go because she had school work but Amy was free. The sun softly shone on our face as we drove through the peaceful village to the beach with my dog Bear. The water was absolutely amazing. It was crystal clear. The sky was clear blue. When we got there we dipped our feet and drove back and forth then we wanted to go home “Let’s go home,” Matene said.

When we got home Bonnie was making delicious moist cookies. They smelt like chocolate fresh out of the oven. Mum came down the hallway and said that it was my turn to make dinner. I went to the kitchen and brought out the pasta, the cheese and the meat. Cautiously I creeped on to the couch trying to watch Avengers infinity war. I sat on the couch for almost a minute but I had to go back to dinner. After Me and mum got dinner ready I called everyone to the lounge for prayers. “The spaghetti bolognese looks like a mountain” Amy Mentioned.

I sneaked to my room to grab monopoly. I held up the game and shouted “Who wants to play monopoly? I asked. We started to play and I had the second best monopoly piece which was the hat. But my brother had the best piece; it was the airplane. Mum and dad were tired so they went to bed but Bonnie, Amy, Matene and myself stayed up. We stopped the game after a few rounds because it was taking so long, and Bonnie was the winner.
Next minute mum walks in and my mum tells me that I am going back to school. I felt excited but nervous. I was up all night. Scared of what might happen at school but I couldn't wait to see my friends.

Easter Isolation

Sunday
On Easter weekend me and my family had church at home. After church dad said we were going on an Easter hunt. But I thought that we ate all of the easter eggs the week before. Dad said that the Easter hunt was at the beach. so we got dressed and started walking. We stopped right before the beach. Turns out we were hunting for mushrooms. The mushrooms were protected by a field of prickles. It was a very bad time because all of the mushrooms were already picked and I had sandals on. So we came out with five or six mushrooms and prickles in my FEET! I don't even like mushrooms.
When we got home we had a packet of marshmallow easter eggs. So we hide them and had an easter hunt       
On Saturday we talked about the crucifiction of Jesus Christ. Then it was like any other day I guess.

The Ant And The Grasspoper

Winter was almost coming and ants  were gathering food while the grasshoppers were enjoying summer. the ants gave up their whole summer to give a to feed the colony. When Winter came grasshopper was banging on the on the colony house and saying let me I'll freeze to death. The ants said what do you have to offer for us and the Grasshopper said he will fix the roof if it's linking and serve food so the ants said that they will give Grasshopper a chance. when summer came the ants and everyone else was preparing for winter. This reminds me of the crucifiction of Jesus because like the ants and the Grasshopper Jesus had forgiven thomas for what he did.

Zealandia

was learning about Zealandia because we wanted to know what New Zealand was like.
I enjoyed finding out information about Zealandia because I was hoping to find out something like what a continent is.
next time i would change the font because I want the reader to like everything.
Found it challenging to remember the things about continents because when you write about continents there are a lot of things that make a continent a continent.
Is Zealandia a continent?

I wanted to tell you why I think that Zealandia is a continent.

First,  some scientists do believe that there is an 8th continent called Zealandia. Over a million years ago Zealandia sank almost entirely underwater. 

 Secondly, In the depths of the earth there are tectonic plates that make the earth move and that's called an earthquake. But millions of years ago the plates moved so much that Zealandia started to get thinner. Lots of years past and Zealandia went almost entirely underwater but not all of it. 94% of Zealandia is still underneath the water. So that means that 6% of Zealandia is still above the sea.   

Lastly, by researching New Zealand was not always a country by itself. New Zealand was a part of Zealandia and so was New Caledonia. Zealandia must have been a really big country. Zealandia does have some or all of the things that make all of the other continents a continent. It has an oceanic crust around it,also continents have to have Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock, they also have to have a crust that is thicker than oceanic crust but it has to be less dense. So I hope you are convinced that Zealandia is a continent because I am.

Writing Learning Pathway

I was learning about what we can do in writing, and what we can't do, because it's good to know what we have to get better at.
I enjoyed finding out what i can't do in writing because i like setting goals to stick to so then i know what my goal is.
I found it challenging to find the right background because if it was not the right background then the reader would not be able to read the words.
Next time i would change the colour of the font because I want it to be really easy to read.
