cyber ABC's

!7th of August
Today I learnt about the cyber ABC's .I learnt that A stands for awareness online and in all types of technology so for e.g you be on a website and an add pops up up for 100% off all cars and then you think that look sketchy then ignore it.B stands for buffer it can be a person or a device installed in the computer that stops you from giving out personal info. C stands for community and that means things like only being friends on social media with people you know well.

Crazy caving

His hand shook as he lowered himself into the cave, trying to not let into the crackling pain going through all his muscles from rope burn as he hang on for dear life. He could smell the dirt and leaves all through the cave that was deep he couldn’t see the bottom all he knew was he was in a cave because he was absolutely surrounded in pitch black. He still keeped going further and further down to the underground water system that he had to fix he lowered himself lower and lower into the depths of the cave wishing he hadn’t willing took this plumbing job from the mayor, to tighten the pipes every second week know wonder the mayor was so desperate to get someone else. He thought as he kept going down. Suddenly he was lost in his train of thought so deeply he gave in to his pain without even thinking. He was falling now all he was thinking about was ‘“ I’m gonna die”. He was falling now faster than ever, it felt like he was falling into bottomless pit and suddenly SMACK . . .

volcano writing

Volcano 17th of October

It was like all my anxiety was saved up for this one moment. I was frozen. Watching as all the rage that had been boiling up inside of its gigantic body couldn’t take it anymore and erupted into the air. The lava was oozing out of the volcano's mouth in rapid speed as red as humans blood racing towards me. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t move. Panic was trying to send messages to my body to run, but I couldn’t. I was so terrified. I was stuck. Lightning cracked and wiped the sky bursting my ear drums making the volcano angrier and angrier. I had some ideas, to escape but none of them seemed as though they were going to work and I was worried that if I tried one then it would just make the situation worse. Suddenly Harry was sprinting towards me and grabbing my hand without saying a word and we ran, ran as fast as we could for our lives  until we got to the evacuation point. I gasped for air as people gathered around us checking to see if we were okay, I was, luckily because of Harry. I wouldn’t have been able to save myself and I don’t even wanna think what would've happened otherwise.

writing a debate about graffiti

Graffiti debate

I think graffiti is bad most of the time but sometimes it is creative and interesting.

One of the reasons why I think this is because of the type of “art’’. Sometimes graffiti can be really cool and different but other times it is such a mess and have swear words.

Some graffiti artists get paid to do their work because of how creative it is but others do it illegally all over the streets and most of the time that art is inappropriate.

It also depends on where the graffiti is. The reason I think this is because people might do graffiti all over famous city attractions and put down the people who were proud of them. It also is not right doing it on all sorts of properties without the owner's permission. There is an exception though when this is good because some artists have permission and do wonderful things to improve the surroundings.

It can be done to put someone down. Sometimes graffiti is depressing because often the graffiti artists do it for revenge and put bad depressing messages all over their properties or they put them every where because they are mean and nasty and like seeing people upset.

Graffiti can also cost a lot of money because of the clean up. Sometimes a lot of effort, time and money can go into a graffiti clean up. Also graffiti is done most of the time with spray paint so it will take a very long time to clean up this painted graffiti.

Graffiti can also be amazing art. Sometimes graffiti can be a great way to show off creative talents and amazing  different art pieces, with explosions of colour and personality.

Over all graffiti can often be bad but can also be good that is why I think sometimes graffiti is horrible and a mess and other times I think it is amazing.

writing about the production

Thursday the 15th of June

“James and the giant peach”production

We started out our production practice by reading the book

“James and the giant peach”in

term one, then we could get the whole idea of the story. In term two week one we had auditions  out of the class to decide who was best fit for the rolls. After that we kept brainstorming our ideas of how we could present what we learnt in drama and show James’ story. There then was heaps of rehearsals and practices when we finally came up with the main ideas for the scenes. Every time we ran through the scenes we tried to make it better by adding something new, taking something away or finding a way to improve something. After lots  of hard work and rehearsals it was finally performance day all the costumes were on the other students including myself that the parents made,we were waiting nervously on the sides of the stage trying to

“shh” all the boys who were far too noisey. We all tried our hardest over all and the day was great everyone enjoyed themselves and the show definitely showed what we were trying to show.

writing about camp

Waimarino

Today I'm going to be Writing about what happened on the First day of camp when I Went to waimarino water park.

On Tuesday morning woke up and got my bag ready for the  day ahead. here are the thing I put in it sunblock , togs,towel,wetsuit and my hat. A little while after our camp 7:00 breakfast I scrambled onto the bus . We called out our numbers to make sure every was on the bus. My class was sharing the bus with 7DH we were also doing all the activities with them. There was so much excited chatter on the bus it was hard to hear the slightest thing, the only thing I managed

to hear was the bus thumping over the bumps on the road.

When we arrived at Waimarino the first thing we did was follow Mr. Webb to a big tepe type shelter we put our bags down and waited for the instructors . Once the instructors were there they told us about the first thing we would be doing it was a team building type challenge. My team was called chunky monkeys. The first thing my team did was build a raft out of three barrels quite a lot of rope and bamboo it had to hold up to 4 people for one whole minute floating on the river. The other activities we did with this team building challenge consist of picking up a bucket with ropes a meter away ,placing tennis balls in a bucket using only ropes ( my group made rail ways and dropped them in ),diving off the low diving board,rock climbing,water slide, tarzan swing and riddles my team came second .

The next thing I did was have lunch we had burgers. After lunch we had a  kayaking lesson. We had to challenge our balancing skills on the kayak, we tried to kneel, stand and do those on the front of the kayak. I fell out quite few times and got drenched with water. We also played a game of tag in the kayaks. The seals weren’t in the sharks were in. We also played a game where everybody held onto another person's kayak and it formed a big circle was we took turns standing up and dancing while the other people held your kayak still.

Now it’s free time yay! This means we can go on any of the activities as long as a parents there. The first thing I did was the water slide. When I hopped on the side a thrill went through my body, I put my mat down first and then sat down, I waited for the

“all clear”signal. I then zoomed down the slide full of energy. I had plummeted into the water and was suddenly soaked with cold river water. Oh did I mention that you aren’t allowed to say the words cold, freezing or can’t it was hard.

I hope you enjoyed reading my day at waimarino.Over all I thought it was a great day.
