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.

At adrenalin forest I will show resilience by not giving up, every time I fall I will get back up and try again until I get it right, help others if they are stuck and also have the confidence to do anything I want to do. I will also be resilient to the people around me that includes the teachers the other children around me and also the adults to show that Hornby High is a good school for their kids. Lastly when no one is watching I will be myself and not do anything that is silly or that will attract any negative attention and I will dot distract anyone for their learning.

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.

EOTC WEEK

If I had to choose my favourite thing about EOTC week I would have to choose adrenalin forest because I really really like parkour and adrenalin forest has some stuff to do with parkour. Also I just really enjoy climbing stuff and doing things that includes outdoors and exercise. My favourite part about it will have to be climbing stuff working together with other people and also eating did I mention that I also really like food.

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.
