Weaving!
Today for one of my writing tasks I had to write about the weaving we did last Friday. It had to be exactly 80 words.
Here is my story!
Last Friday our student teacher told us that we had to do some weaving. We did it because we watched
a video about how people had to do a karakia before they chopped a bush so they could do some
weaving. We had two options to either watch a video off youtube our make a square with miss rose
under the fale. It didn’t start off too great for me as I had ripped one of my pieces of paper.

My Jack And The Bean Stalk
Today for one of our tasks we had to right our own version of Jack and the beanstalk. To make it more difficult we had to make it exactly 100 words! We also had to make a different ending instead of Jack taking more than he needed he had to only take 5 gold coins.
Here is my story!
Yesterday Jack had traded their cow for magic beans and his mother had threw them out the window but
today jack looked out his window and saw a beanstalk so he climbed up it. When he got to the top he saw
a castle so he snuck inside. The first thing he saw when he got inside was a bag of five coins, Jack took
them but unfortunately at that moment a giant saw him and chased him down the beanstalk but he had
heart attack so Jack and his mum lived happily with there much needed five gold coins.

Going Back To School!
Yesterday they announced that we will go back to school next week on Wednesday which I am very happy about! I haven't seen my friends for a long time so it will be exciting seeing them again! The only problem is some of my friend's parents will be scared to send their children to school so I might not get to see very many people. It will be weird going back to school and getting back the routine because we haven't been to school for almost 90 days. I think I might catch covid at school but you never know.

A Picture Prompt About A Park!
It was a bright sunny day in New York when everyone gathered at the park for the one and only free everything day! Loads of businesses would give out items for free, all you needed to do was give them something from your business. The celebration would start a three o’clock but many people were already there at 9 o’clock! The big city of New York in the background would make up more than 80% of the people there. The main reason people were here was because of The Party Room’s big offer which was one free balloon garland for nothing absolutely nothing! Some people had been camping over night here but when the festival started something bad happened….
What do you think happened? Answer in the comments!
Freedom Day For Auckland!
Today is freedom day for Auckland! This means everyone across Auckland can now go to the shops and meet with up to 25 people outside. Some people have been camping overnight since Sunday to get a good spot for when the malls open. With lines up to 100 people I highly recommend staying as far away from the shops as you can. These big lines contain groups of people without masks. Auckland has also hit 90% first vaccination dose which means when all those people get thier second does we will move into the traffic light system.

My Kitten Picture Prompt!
On my Goggle meet this morning my student teacher sprung a surprise picture prompt on us. She set a timer of what I think was about 10 minutes. We all had different perspectives on the picture. From my perspective I thought it was a boxing match. What do you think is happening?
Here is the picture prompt!
The epic boxing match final: K K John from the left corner up against Lomiy Alo. Ding ding ding the fight
has begun. While their owner slept they were creating a historic battle. A fierce punch from K K John, how
does Lomiy Alo respond? Boom! “That’s the toughest punch I have ever seen” said the commentators. K K John was on the ground trying
to push Lomiy Alo away but Lomiy Alo was too strong. One good punch and history! Lomiy Alo takes the
heavy weight boxing title away from K K John for the first time in forever. How do you feel Lomiy Alo?
“ I I I feel great.” And that is that Lomiy Alo wins the heavy weight championship along with 1 million
dollars!
The Dead Bird's grave!
Last Friday I found a dead baby bird on the side of our house. I told my neighbor and sister and they came to see it for themselves. We eventually identified that it was a pigeon. My neighbor suggested we make a grave for it and we agreed. We took it and put in a hole in our front garden. After that my sister and neighbor decorated it with some flowers and stones. Now we needed a name for the bird and we settled on beagle.
Here is the grave!

My Moral Of The Story!
Today for one of my writing tasks I had to write a fairy tale that had a moral of the story. Please tell me in the comments if you don't have access to the video in my story.
Here is my story!
Tim eats and steals food!
Once upon a time there was a boy named Tim who lived on Mars. He really liked to eat and
steal food. He often went to Earth, smashed someone’s window, went into their house and
stole all their food. Then he would get into his rocket ship and go back to Mars to put the food
he stole in his house but he usually ate all it before he landed. One day Tim was on his way to
steal some food when his rocket ship started beeping. One of the engines had broken down! Tim
panicked and got his parachute and landed in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan! Tim saw a house
and smashed the window of it but it turns out it was the Afghan army camp. Luckily they were
doing Afghan star jumpso they didn’t notice. Eventually Tim found a good house to steal food from but just when he
was about to bite an apple a police man walked into the house and arrested him! He was
accused of taking a video of the nation of Afghanistan at its worst and was imprisoned for twenty
years.
So the moral of the story is don’t steal food!
Having Fun In My Paddling Pool!
Yesterday my sister and neighbor were having a play date at our house when my sister suggested we should blow up the paddling pool. My neighbor agreed so my dad started blowing up the paddling pool. Once he had finished blowing it up he started filling it with the hose and said it would take about 45 minutes for it to fill up. While we were waiting I got my water gun and started shooting my sister and my neighbor who tried to use a towel as a shield. Eventually the pool filled up and we took turns cannon balling diving and a whole lot of over stuff. Then it was lunch time so we went to eat. I had a sandwich and my sister had dumplings. My neighbor had sushi. We also all had a chocolate muffin! Unfortunately after that my neighbors cousins came over so she had to go back home.

A Story About A Faun, A Ripped Invisibility Cloak And More!
(Quick blog post) Today we had a surprise writing task. We had to write about a faun, a ripped invisibility cloak and a few other things.
Here is my story!
Once upon a time in planet faun (which is very far away) on of the fauns.
Silomumkiplongfurbearbeepooalexmigig was out farming. Silomumkiplongfurbearbeepooalexmigig’s
nickname was Bob so thats what I will call him from now on. Back to the story Bob was farming on a
regular monday morning when he heard a scream of one of his friends in the distance. Bob didn’t take
much time before he was running towards where the screaming came from in his invisibility cloak. After
running for a while Bob found a witch’s tower and his friend was on the top level. Bob saw an open
window so he climbed in and ran up the stairs but Bob’s invisibility cloak got caught on a stick and ripped!
Then a witch said “who’s in my house”. Bob ran as fast as he could up the stairs and opened the door and
rescued his friend but there was no windows so Bob had to perform karate on the witch who died
immediately. Bob and his friend lived happily ever after.

Another Picture Prompt
This week for one of my writing tasks we were given a picture prompt that we had to write about. We had two pictures we could choose. I chose this one because the other one looked slightly boring.
Here is my picture prompt!
As the flames burned on, the end of time got nearer. The candle of life losing its brightness. All it needed was someone to make its ember flare again but the nearest town was miles away. The candle is fire, fire of the world.
As the candle got duller and duller a speck of hope was seen in the distance.It wasn’t as small as an ant but not bigger than a beetle. It was a light just like him but being held by a mysterious creature. Wait said the candle of life, aren’t does h...h… humans!
If they have candles they could light me up and …… the earth will be saved!
The candle of life had to get their attention somehow so he used his flame and pressed harder then he ever had before to make it so bright you couldn’t miss it.
“Look over there” said one of the humans. He had got their attention! “Looks like a pretty dim candle” said the other one. “ Might as well light it up with our candles” said the first human.
“Oright said the second human.
As they got closer the candle of life was dimmer than it ever had been before. At last the candle of life was back to full strength.
The candle of life would be able to survive another 250 years before it would need refilling but life may not exist on planet earth by then.

My Rangoli Pattern
This week is Diwali. Diwali is an Indian festival so for one of my tasks I had to make a rangoli pattern (Hindu pattern) witch is usually made on the floor with colourful rice powder. I decided to do mine digitally because why not? It was extremely hard to make the flower out of moons! I used gradient colours (from dark to light) because plain colours are a bit boring.
Here is my rangoli pattern!

My Cat Going To The Emergency Vet!
Yesterday my cat Lolly walked into our house but she wasn't putting any weight on her front right leg. My mum said that my dad should take her to the emergency immediately but my dad said that he would book an appointment for tomorrow. After about one minute of disagreeing my cat wasn't using her hurt leg anymore so my mum forced my dad to call the emergency vet. The vet said that it was probably best to come today to get it checked out and that he should come at around three o'clock. The bad thing was that it was only one o'clock so we would have to keep her inside for two hours and we would also have to try to keep her from walking. We closed the back door and put our shoe basket in front of the cat door but luckily my cat decided to have a nap in our lounge. While we waited for three o'clock to come me and my dad threw a Frisbee around. While we were doing that we saw a full sized albatross fly over our heads! Finally it was three o'clock and my dad took Lolly to the emergency vet. After about 45 minutes my mum texted my dad to see if they had gotten in yet but my dad said that a bleeding dog got to go in front of them. When they finally took Lolly into the vet a cat that had been hit by a car go to go in front of Lolly. Unfortunately it died. After waiting for about 30 minutes the vet came out with my cat. They said that they couldn't find anything wrong with her so they gave us some anti-inflammation medicine as they thought that was the cause of the problem. When Lolly came home we took her out of her carrier and there was a big poo in it! After my dad cleaned up the poo my mum said that they probably gave her pain medicine because she was acting a bit funny. Well today she is a bit better than yesterday. I hope she gets better.
Here is my cat!
