EOTC Recount

 Last week we did our EOTC days. Our teacher said that we have to make a paragraph about what we did on each day. EOTC means Education Outside The Classroom. My favorite place to go to was Adrenalin Forest. Our first day was Adrenalin Forest/Spencer Park. My favorite part there was actually doing it and trying it out for the first time. My least favorite part was when the instructors were talking for a long time. While I was wait to get harnessed up we could go by a water part that had birds walking on the dirt. The stage I did was number 3. When we finished we saw a pig, sheep, dog, rosters and chickens. 

On the second day we did a City Tour. For the City Tour we went to Margaret Mahy Playground, Tūranga Library and Canterbury Museum. My favorite part about the City Tour was playing on the playground. I learnt what you can do at Tūranga Library. My least favorite part was walking around to the different places. 

On the last day we did Jellie Park. My favorite part at Jellie Park was going on the hdyroslide with my friends. My least favorite part was when my foot and eyes hurt. 






Horror Story - Whitebirdge Election

Since November 27 Me and my friend Alexia have been making a horror story. Our story doesn't have much horror in it yet because we are still making the story and we have only finished chapter 1 and 2. The story is called Whitebridge Election. So far we have only made 3 chapters but only 2 are finished. I am only going to show you chapter 1 and 2 because we haven't finished chapter 3 yet. Me and Alexia made it so that there is going to be an election happening and Dzvezda is going to try and make it so he wins the election. Here is chapter 1 and 2 of our story we are making.

Book Draft Chapter 1 - Whitebridge Introduction 


There is a little town in a forest named Whitebridge. It had a population of 100,000. In the middle of the town there are small market places run by civilians who live there. The town was very peaceful, one of the only towns who have never gone to war. Whitebridge got its name because every few months beautiful white bearded irises grow around the town. The president's name is Anton. The town was found because the president of Whitebridge was trying to find a place to build a town so he was stumbling around and then found forest. He decides to take a walk inside of the forest, he sees a place in the middle of the forest where bearded irises were growing. He then thought that this was the perfect place to build a town. That’s how Whitebridge was found. Anton decided to get his best friend Apollo to help him build the town, of course this isn’t possible building a town with just two people so he got some people he knew that lived in the old town. There is a signature building that took the longest to build. That building  was a huge clock tower. The clock tower was built with dark brown bricks, stained glass with a variety of colours, above the stained glass is the clock, the clock has black hands, there are rails just on top of the clock that have the flag that represents Whitebridge. The flag colours our black, white, and grey.


Book Draft Chapter 2 - Election Making


Years later Whitebridge became a popular place for people wanting to have an adventure. Anton woke up and it was still dark out. After a lot of thinking he decided that there is going to be an election soon because he realises that he is going to die sooner or later. The sun was out and Anton decided to wake everyone up with the Alarms. “Good Morning Whitebridge! It's time to wake up for this lovely day ahead” Anton said into the loud speaker. Everyone liked Anton except Dzezda. No one knows why Dzezda doesnt like Anton. When everyone woke up they all went to the hall to see what today's announcement is. “Hello, Welcome to today's announcement. I have done a lot of thinking and decided that there is going to be an election.” Anton announced. Dzezda knew that he could do something bad at the election. Dzvezda had a bad childhood making him the way he is. Dzvezda was not a normal civilian. He was a loud person, not a lot of people liked him for that reason. He didn’t really like others either but there was one thing that he knew. He wanted to take over Whitebridge. His dream was to go to war. He loved being in the stoplight and he wanted to be a star. That didn’t really work out though. Once he heard that there was going to be an election he knew he had to be the new president. Dzvezda thought it would be a great idea because he knew if he was the president people would listen to him. He wanted to go to war with anyone who didn’t agree with him. There were of course other people trying to be president but he didn’t care because he was going to win and he was sure of it, even though most people didn’t like him he knew he was going to win. The way he was going to win is because he is going to cheat the votes. It wasn’t going to be easy but it wasn’t going to be hard either. 
He decided on two plans. His first plan was trying to bribe people to vote for him but depending on the people who he asked it would work or the whole thing would go down from there, one thing bad about this plan was that some people of Whitebridge liked to snitch so if he asked some person they might tell the current president and then that would mean Dzvezda would be out of the election. The second plan would be after all the votes were in he would sneak in and take some votes out of the other boxes into his box which would mean this would be more efficient if no-one saw him.

Playing To Win - Book Review

 On Monday I finished reading Playing To Win. Since I have already done a fast finish task our teacher said that we have to do a book review. Playing To Win was made by Fleur Beale. I didn't select the book my teacher did because they thought I could handle some of the stuff that happens in the story. I think the book was very good because it was full of drama but not to much drama and the characters interactions that happened. My favorite part of the book was at the end when Denny and Alice kiss. That we my favorite part because I like the ship and I predicted that it might happen. The characters were: Denny, Alice, Zak, Kyle, Sally, Clara, Todd, Rose, Lucy, Pete, Coach and Rugby boys. My favorite characters are Denny, Alice, Todd and Pete. I would recommend that if you are into rugby and drama you should read this book. I rate this book 5/5

Speech Writing - Why Girl Should Be Allowed To Play Rugby No Matter There Age.

For the past few weeks we have been doing speech writing. I choose to do my speech about "Why girls should be allowed to play rugby no matter there age". Today we had to record our self saying our speech standing up. I didn't enjoy much about the speech unit. I didn't like recording myself and having to say it in front of people. I liked making the speech and choosing what I wanted to write about. Sometimes while doing this I thought people would judge me about doing my speech about rugby. I learnt that I cant talk infornt of people. The purpose of a persuasive writing is that you are trying to get people to make change or have a argument about sometime you don't agree with. 


Margaret Mahy

 Today in Wānanga we had to do another EOTC task.   The task I choose to do was that I had to make a biography about Margaret Mahy. I put some facts in the biography. Here is the biography.

Playing To WIn - Fleur Beale

Today in reading since we don't have our discussion questions today and we didn't read anything there wasn't much to do. Since we didn't have much to do we moved onto fast finisher tasks. The fast finisher task that I am doing is getting some information on the author of our story. The author's name is Fleur Beale. She is not  just an author she also used to be a teacher. The school she used to teach at was Canterbury University. She went to was Victoria University and Christchurch Teachers College to study. I don't think that this helped her a bit to write a novel but her family inspired her to keep on writing. Fleur Beale mother was also a writer. Fleur Beale published playing to win in 1999 and it came out to New Zealand in 2006. Her most popular book is "I am not Esther".




Speech Writing - Why Girls Should Be Allowed To Play Rugby When There Older Then 13

Since November 3rd we have been writing a speech. We had to choose a topic about what we don't like or what we want to change. My topic is "why girls should be allowed to play rugby when there older then 13. We had to time our speech when we are done writing it. I choose to write about this because I play rugby and I play with other girls in mixed teams but some of them are 13 and they are playing with there brother. So far I have timed my work 2 times and its 2 minutes long and couple of seconds long.Here is my speech. 

Do you ever get tired of not being allowed to play rugby? I do very much. Hi there, my name is Carla and I am here to tell you why girls should be allowed to play rugby.



Why should girls be allowed to play rugby? I think girls should be allowed to play rugby because it makes girls stronger and it makes girls more brave. Girls should be allowed to play rugby because it gives girls a chance for them to not be what their parents want them to be. There’s a stereotype for girls that want to play “boy sports” and their parents don’t support it. Most of the time girls don’t play rugby because they think boys will be mean and judge them about it. I know lots of girls that like rugby and want to play but they don't want to because they think they will get judged.



Not many clubs offer girls rugby teams. When you are 13 and younger you can play mixed teams. When girls in the country are older than 13 we are not allowed to play rugby until we are 18 and women’s teams are offered. When girls are older than 13 we have to go into town and play but sometimes in town it can be expensive. How do you think Emily Valentine became popular? Emily Valentine became popular because she played rugby. She was the first girl to ever play rugby in history that's how she became popular.



For me it is good to play rugby because it makes me less of a girly girl and it makes me have more confidence with what I want to be. Girly girls can still play rugby even though they like pink or they like dresses. It doesn't matter if we play rugby



Did you know the Black Ferns are better than the All Blacks? It is very true I tell you, if you don't believe me go and search. Rugby makes girls  have more questions. Girls can be the man. When girls remember who they are the game changes. That's why I think girls should be allowed to play rugby no matter what their age.

Soon there were too many cars and it got very windy. Soon enough I fell into the lake but when I fell into it… I GOT TELEPORTED. I got teleported into a different world. This plant is amazing. I want to stay here forever. This plant had animals that could talk and the people have powers. I started to walk to see if anyone was here. Soon I stumbled across a person. The person got scared and put me inside a bubble. The bubble started to fly away but not too far.

Playing To Win - Chapter 8 - 9

Today we have reading. Our task this week is to do our normal discussion questions because there is no school on Friday. If this chapter there was a fight with Denny and Todd. Todd has been playing with Denny's car because hes jelly of him. There is a lot of drama going on with Denny and Todd. Here is our discussion questions and answers are. 

Denny has lots of responsibilities in his life; he helps his Mum with finances, has a job, he takes care of his sisters and is part of a team. Do you think these are reasonable responsibilities for a sixteen year old? Why or why not? I think this is to much for a sixteen year old to deal with in his life because he also has school to do. It is bad to put so much stuff on teens because it makes them stressed and they think it is there purity to do it.


What responsibilities do you have in your life? How do you manage them and make sure you are completing everything you are trusted to do? Think about what you do at school and at home or in your spare time.  For me I don't have much responsibilities at home or at school. I get my school work done in time and I don't need reminders to do it.

Denny feels pressured to drink at the party, but he still says no. Why do you think the boys were pressuring him? Why do you think it is important to stand up for your beliefs? What values do you think he was showing by saying no to underaged drinking? I think that they are pressuring him because they think he is a pussy and that because he is older enough he is allowed to drink. I think it is important to stand up for your beliefs because your beliefs might make you a better person and other people better. Denny is trying to be a better person the what the the boys want him to be. Denny used lots of values for them. The values he used respect, resilience and integrity.

100 Words Challenge

 Today our Teacher is away on a course so we had to have a substitute. Today we had to do a 100 word challenge. Our photo was feet in snow or frost. Here is my work and the photo.

One day I was walking in my track up the mountain.

The track was abandoned and no one knows that it was there except for me and my family.

Today it was all snowie so we could see if there were other people on our track.

I continued to walk down the track still wondering who it was or what it was.

I looked at the foot print to see the human size.

As I walk down the track I see a man standing there looking at the dark grey sky and the snow

falling down. I approached him and talked for a while.

One day I wanted to do something new. Something I haven't done before. I haven't done diving before. I went to ask my friend if we could go today and he said that I have to wait 1 hour then meet him out at the ship rack. Later we met there and we went out to the ocean. Soon we got out in the far ocean and there were lots of sharks. Soon we got into our scuba gear and went down. We went down into the ocean and started taking videos about the sharks. Soon we got up and had a break. In that break we had some food and water to get our energy up. After we got our energy up we went back in the water. We went away from the boat to go and see the coral reef. We got to see the coral reef and when we were coming back from it. We saw something very big.  We turned back to see what it was and I couldn't tell what it was because I only got a glimpse of it. My friend got on the boat and left me. I tried yelling at him to help me get away from the animal.

Abstract Art

 For the past two weeks was have been doing abstract art. The task was that we had to make three art work using 3 elements from abstract art. There are six elements altogether. The six elements are form, texture, colour, line, shapes and tones. The three art work had to be made by a word. the three words were growth, love/compassion and fear. We had to use A3 paper for our first art work then we used A4 paper for the second task. After we finished that art work we had to do another one with warm and cool colours. I liked doing the second task because I liked doing the colours and adding the mountain on mine. It was hard for me to do the first one because I didn't know what to do for it and our teacher said not to sketch it. I am only showing you one of my works. Here is that work. 


Playing To Win - Chapter 5

This week we only have to read one chapter because Monday was ladour day. Today we have to create a question for Friday discussion. Chapter 5 had a thing we predicted something that happens. The chapter had a big change of seen and there was a big seen that came really fast and left fast. My favorite part in the story so far is when Denny helped the man out. My question is: What is your favorite part in the story and why? What do you think cussed the car crash for Alice's brother? and Why?

Drama

 For the past 2 weeks we have started term 4 and we had to do drama. Since one of our teachers have gone into to maternity leave so we have a different teacher. Last week our focus was freeze frame. There were four things we were looking at in our freeze frame. The four things were gesture, layers, facial expressions spacial relationship. Last week we had to get into groups and create four freeze frames from a script we were learning. My group was with my friends Shanaya, Alexia and Casey. I think these freeze frames good because there layers are all different and they are all doing some thing different form each other. Here is a photo of some our freeze frames.

Digital Black Out Poetry

 Today we tried something new on our Chromebook. Since we have been doing black out poetry art, the teacher is making us use a website she found. The website is called "Blackout Poetry Maker". Here is the link to the website. The website is cool to use and it will allow you to put your own story on there and make a black out poem. The website was easy to use and not very slow at all for me. The website has some stories for you to choose. The stories are Alice In Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice and lastly Heart of Darkness. I made 7 blackout poems on this website so I think you could make a lot as well. I perfer the physical poems but I also like Digital. Here is my poems

Playing To Win - Chapter 1 - 2

 Today I was the start of term 4 and we had reading period 1. The book I was reading was called "Playing to win". The book was made by Fleur Beale. We had to read chapter 1 - 2. We got a good introductions to the main characters in the story. We have to write a summary which explains what has happened so far in the story.

So far in the story Denny has got into West bridge high and is not liking it so far. I think Dennys personality is a chill and cool type of person and likes sports very much and is very athletic. The characters so far are called Denny, Alice, Todd, Ms Finlayson, Rose, Lucy, Zac, Pete, Clara, Sally. He meet a girl named Alice and a guy named Todd who is inlove with Alice and Todd thinks Denny is going to steal her from him. Denny has a car and little sisters.

Novel Study Term 4 - Playing To Win

Today we got to choose the book we wanted to read. I asked Miss Birtch to help me choose he book because I didn't know what inspired me to read it and she choose Playing To Win by Fleur Beale. We got given two task to complete if we wanted to go to lunch. I choose who is the author? Do some research. Where are they from? Have they won awards? Why might your teacher have chosen this book for you to read? and I also choose open the book to any page. Read the page. Did you find what you read funny, interesting or dull? Why or why not? Fleur Beale has won several time in the New Zealand Post Children books. Fleur is a girl and she is from Inglewood in New Zealand up north. Her age is 75 years old. I think Miss Birtch choose me to read this book because I could handel what is going on and I like rugby and sports so I would be good for me to connect with the book and whats happening. I read page 61 and there was some drama on that page. Danny keeps thinking about Alice and keeps choosing what he does for her and not thinking about himself and whats good for him. Hope you Enjoyed

The Gingerbread Man Characterization

 Today we watched a video about the gingerbread man. We are learning about characterization. Here is the link to the video we watched. We have some questions to answer. Here are the answers. The protagonist is the gingerbread man because the story is about him. The antagonist is the animals and the old women and old man because they hate the gingerbread man and they don't want him to win. I think the gingerbread man is a static character because he doesn't change. The old man and old women are lonely people because it says in the story but it is only them two there and the old man is busy because he always has stuff to do but the old women is bored because she has nothing to do. The gingerbread man is a cheeky man because he keeps say "You can't catch me even if you tried" and he is also a rude man saying that the pig is fat and saying that you can't fool me. The gingerbread man is fast because he only stopped when he was talking to the animals.

Narrative Writing

Today since we finished our perspective drawing yesterday we had to make a narrative about our drawing. My story was about a girl with her friends and they went to the beach and there were sea animals on the sand dying and the girl tried to same them. Here is my story.


One day there was a group of friends biking down the street on the way to the beach. One of them saw a glimpse of a spike on the road but just thought it was a piece of glass. They continued biking until they got to the beach. They got off their bike and went to the beach but when they got there there was a big group of sea animals on the sand.


One of the friends ran down to the animals. She grabbed the bucket they brought with them and started to get water and ran to the animals and started to pour it onto them. Her friends tried to stop her. The girl started to cry and yell at her friends to let her save them but they were already dead. She finally got out of her friends arms and ran to her bike and went home.

Business And Enterprise

For the past 3 weeks we have been doing Business and Enterprise. We had to get into groups of 4 and brain storm what we wanted to do. My group was with Leo, Ej and Ruben. We could only have 2 of each year level and form group. In my group there was 2 Bh, 2 DS, 2 year 7 and 2 year 8s. My group is called Gift Pride. We are making pride stuff like bracelets and flag, ect. We are working on our poster for our table. Our next steps are finding our poster and making the slide show to present to the school. There's not much I'm excited for on market day but I'm excited for setting up our stand and selling it. Here is the slide show for our business plan.

Prespective Drawing

Yesterday we did perspective drawing. We made a road with trees on the side and mountains at the back. Perspective drawing is in your view and if when something is far away it is smaller and when it is close up it is bigger. I found it difficult to make the trees small and make the mountains. I think my final work is bad because I used colour but if I didn't put colours on. If I could remake it I would make the trees better and add colour on to it. Here is my drawing.

Types Of Characters

Today we started a the second half of speaking my truth. We are learning about different types of characters. Our teacher Miss Birtch stole some types of characters on a video we watched and is making us tell you the definition of the works. We have to add a example of a story/movie in the definition.. Here is the definitions.

Protagonist: The main character of the movie/story. Example Deku or Izuku Midoriya the main character of MHA.
Antagonist: The enemy of the main character. Example Katsuki Bakugou he hates Deku ever since childhood.
Narrator: The person the tells the story and whats happening.
Flat character: A character that isn't important. Example Cho Chang from harry potter she doesn't need to be in the movie (My opinion)
Dynamic character: A dynamic character can change over time. Example Annie from Rain fall she starts to change later on in the story.
Static character: A static character doesn't change. Example Menita from MHA is inappropriate person and doesn't change.
Round character: A round character is someone several traits and seems very realistic. Example Jack from Rain fall he has lots of traits and seems like a real person.
