Adrenalin forest

On the 29th of November all of the year 8's at Hornby High School went on a trip to Adrenaline forest and spencer park. First we went for a walk to the wet lands place then we headed to cpencer park it was really fun there we played basketball and volleyball then we had to go to Adrenaline forest this was the time I've been waiting for. If you don't know what Adrenalin forest is it is a parkour place but with gear on. If you are afraid of heights I would never go there because it is all about heights and skill but if you love heights  and really like parkour you have to try it out it is really difficult. There are different stages, I think I made it half way through level 4 and then we had to stop because it was time to head home. After all that my hand and legs were hurting pretty bad but it was worth it because I had a really fun time and I pushed myself to my limits and did the best I can

Narrative writing fairy tales

Welcome to the wonderful land of the three little bears and their mother who never wanted the three little bears to leave but they choose to and she didn't like it so she tried to do something really bad that cold hurt the three bears.

In the part New Zealand called Christchurch and also next to the woods and on a very rainy day.

The three little bears names was  Sameer, Michael, Eddy and the aliens name was Ruby. Sameer lived in house made of glass, Michael lived in a house made out of stone and lastly Eddy made his house made out of metal.


Then the three little bears heard a loud screaming in the woods, it sounded a bit like a little girls scream, they all go outside to have a look and they hear a even louder sound it was so loud even the village heard it.

It was a different type of sound they didn't know what it was no one did it was a sound never heard before but until today. After the three little bears heard the sound they all gathered  together and ran into the woods like amateurs. When they ran into the direction of the scream, they saw something but it was from the back, it turned its body and before the three bears could say anything they just fell to the ground and from there on the three little bears were never to be seen again.


When the three little bears woke up they were all tied up but they were also in this very very dark room altogether. All of the three little bears screamed as loud as they could but still no sign of anyone they screamed again and again and again but still no one. After all that screaming they heard a little voice but they thought is was just the wind blowing until they heard it again and again but this time it was more people, the three little bears started screaming with them they started talking to each other but then there was a dead silence.


The three little bears were trying to listen closely until the heard a loud bang and then they flew across the room like planes and knocked themselves out. There was these weird looking things that picked them up and carried them to another place. When the three little bears woke up they all screamed at the same time because they woke up back at home not there own home but there moms home they were all wondering why would someone/thing bring them here but then there answer just unfolded at the moment when a alien walked in the room an revealed themselves. 
 

As the Aiken walked in the three little bears grabbed whatever was next to them and started running at the door like animals, who ever was going to come through that door they were definitely going to get a concussion, when the three little bears saw who was coming through the door they all stopped and stared at it for a split second and then they all said “Mum” at the same time. When they saw their Mum they all hugged her and asked if she was ok and if the someone/thing hurt her and she said it was her who caused all of it the scream in the woods the concussion everything was all her but she said it was for a good reason she just didn't want the the three little bears to move out where the danger is she just wanted to love them forever, so they all just had a laugh and lived happily ever after.

Are dogs better than cats?

Cats and dogs are basically the same they both have fur, tails and the most obvious one eyes. But I think my self that dogs are more superior than cats. I don´t know why but I have just always disliked cats and liked dogs more, even though I´m quite afraid of dos I just really like them. I like dogs because you can take them for a walk/run you can also play fetch with them both of does ideas really make me want to buy a dog because I really like doing physical things that are out doors.

 I really really dislike cats because of just the way they look I´m not judging a book by its cover I just don´t like cats over all I don´t like the way they stare at me it makes me a bit creeped out and like I said before just the way they look gives me a creepy vibe, like there whiskers it looks like it could just go right through someones body. But other than all of that I think cats are alright for a pet.

My opinion on the new buildings for hornby high

In my opinion I kind of dislike it  just because of the new cafeteria I don't really like it because its to packed and everyone goes in there and just sits and hangs out there. also i kinda like it because the new calls rooms and the new library i love the library it looks very neat and awesome. My favrouite thing about the new buildings is it makes our school stand out and it makes more people wanna come to our school.

Youth church

The youth church sometimes fundraise for families that need the money and food/water and they also are a group of religious people that involved and engaged with young people who attend their places of worship also means their church. The youth church also help people that don't believe in God to make them believe. They sometimes go on youth camps. At the youth camps you do fun stuff like play games but you also need to wake up early in the morning to pray to God and say thanks for the day.

Explanation for Fortnite

Question I am Answering: what is the game Fortnite about.

Hello my name is TJ and I'm going to talk about a game called Fortnite. Fortnite is a game where people around the world can team up as a squad, duo, or you can play solo and vs other people around the world.

Fortnite is a game made by a company named Epic Games the company also makes other shooting games but there best game they made is Fortnite. Also Fortnite has this one thing about it and it is that it's so addictive, the reason why it's so addictive because it's a survival game a shooting game and a building game but what people like the most is when everybody is dead and it's just you alive or just your team you come first place and it's so exciting.

If you get your first win ever you get 2 gliders and you need gliders to glide to your destination you can go anywhere on the map but back to the glider to use it you need to jump off a flying bus and for Xbox you press x but for ps4 it's square but on pc you can choose which key to press to bring it out.

Fortnite includes lots of stuff like pickaxe, guns, players(like teammates), materials to build and also treasure chest (you get guns from it). Fortnite has 2 game modes one is called battle Royale and the other is called save the world.

The concept of save the world is where a bunch of zombies are trying to take over the world and kill every living person. Also you need to protect something and build a base around it because if the zombies get to it they can destroy it, you can also have some teammates to help you with the mission. And that's all for now hope you enjoyed my writing and hope you learnt something from my piece and goodbye.

TJ, I really enjoyed learning more about Fortnite. You told us all about the game and what you can do in it. You also wrote a longer piece than last time and are showing me what Year 8 quality work you can do. Can you have another look at your ending? It’s a little bit too casual and let’s all the hard work you’ve done fall short.

Water cycle

WATER CYCLE

If you don’t know how the water cycle works well here it is. The water cycle is how water goes from the ground to the sky and back again. This makes it a cycle.

 First it’s Evaporation. Evaporation is when the sun shines at the sea or rivers or any kind of water source. The sun turns it into steam which flows up to the sky and  that’s how the clouds are made. the hotter it is the more steam goes up.

Next is Condensation, Condensation is when the steam up in the sky called clouds. That’s why we have clouds.

Lastly is Precipitation. This is when the steam in the sky turns back into water and then it comes raining down on the earth and into the seas or rivers and it restarts its cycle all over again.

And that's how the water cycle works around the world  The water cycle is important for us to survive.

Something that I did well: Puntuction
Something I can improve for next time: Adding more Infomation
Something that I need more help with: My spelling

Kete Project

Recount writing

Itroduction:On Christmas Me my Mum my Dad my sister Grace and my brother Philip went on a trip to samoa it was so fun, we went on 2 planes one took 50 minutes but one took longer than I thought because we had to go to Auckland first than we went on a plane to go to samoa and when we got to met our family and we went for a swim and have some fun.


24 hours before we go to Samoa I was so excited I could just feel my body shaking with excitement and I said to myself I was ready. When we got there I looked at my dad and when I saw him he was so happy because he hasn't been to Samoa in 6 years when we got off the plane we saw this guy from when we ordered a car from online he gave us the keys we all our bags in the car it was a long journey because first we had to go see my mum’s family after we saw them we had to go to my dad’s dad hose if you didn’t know my dad’s parents split up but my dad is ok with it. When we left my grandpas house to go to my grandma's  house when my dad saw my grandma he hugged her and he was crying that was the first time in weeks I saw him cry.


After that it was so hot so we waited for the sun to go down so we can go swimming at the lake it was so fun swimming when I hopped in I felt so good because in Samoa it is so hot even I couldn’t stand it. When we finished swimming we ate Samoa food was nice but I didn’t like it as much as the others did the look on my face wanted to spit it out but I didn’t want to be rude so I did what I had to do yes I swallowed it my stomach felt weird I could feel my stomach shaking in the inside I didn't want to puke so I told them I felt tired so I just went to bed. When I woke up I noticed that everyone was already awake so I got up brush my teeth and we started our adventure of exploring Samoa so after we all got ready we all hopped in the car and we went to go get a feed it was so good this time I wasn't going to puke. After the feed we went looking around to buy necklaces to bring back to New Zealand when we were done buying stuff we went to this park to met my mums side of the family the were cool but we didn’t get to met all of the people on my mum’s side.




The next day was all about starting to build my grandma's house we ordered all the things to build the house we finished getting everything and we started to build it. First we started with the walls it took us awhile but when we finished it we did the floor now that took for ages it took so long it was night time when we finished. The next day was about building the roof it took nearly half of the day but we finished it I really wanted to climb on it but I was scared it might of broken while I was up their. After doing that we all went for a swim at the lake it felt so good because we were all sweeting so hard we just jumped in with our normal clothes we didn’t even get change. It was so fun because they have this little hill you can jump off and do backflips and frontflips. When we finished swimming we all fell asleep. The next day we were just finishing up the house like adding carpets and furniture and we were done after we were done we just had a massive feed because we had to leave the next morning. When it was dark everyone was still awake we were just having some fun before we go so when we finished having our little party we all went to bed. The next morning we all said our goodbyes and we were crying and we left.



Reflection:
I think that I created an interesting piece of writing because… I did my capital letters
For next time I could spend more time on…. Writing more
In my writing, I would like to improve… My punctuation.

My role

My role is to be a good student. To do that I have to listen to the teacher don’t talk over them or anyone else. If the younger kids are watching you don’t do any stupid or dumb stuff because if you do they might copy you. If they do copy you they can get in to lots of trouble. Example: let's say you and your friends were swearing at each other and a little kid comes and walks by and hears you guys he might go to his friends and do the same thing
