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.

I enjoyed writing about the time when I did piano.

I found it difficult to remember all the things that had happened.

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

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.

My Family

Today I was writing about my family.
I found it challenging to find the images.
I enjoyed finding out more about hobbies that my family has.
Next time I would try to put all the boxes in three or four slides.

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.
Then on monday me and my sister Amy and my brother Matene went under our house to take all of the rubbish out from underneath it.

I was doing a recount story about my easter in isolation

I enjoyed writing about my easter

I found it challenging to find good description words
