Narritive

 W.A.L.T. Create a detailed and descriptive Narrative.

I made a Narrative about Minecraft because I love Minecraft. :)

The Invasion

Fox and his friends were investigating the ruins on top of the hill. “We goin’ in?” Fox asked. Zeb, Alex

and Kalem all nodded. As they were checking it out Zeb found a Portal. “Hey guys, I found

this bedrock portal!” Zeb Called. As the rest of the group came to the portal, they heard a

humming noise. “Let's go in.” Alex said. Then they got sucked into the portal. They woke

up in the most blocky dimension in the world. “Um, are we in Minecraft?” Kalem asked.

Then they heard a rumbling noise, the loudest noise in Minecraft. They saw about 10,000

things charging at them on the horizon. 

“ We need to go now, punch a tree, make some basic tools and a boat, we need

to go now!” Fox Exclaimed. They made the boats and tools, so they started running.

They found an ocean and they placed the boats and started rowing away from the

things that were chasing them. As they rowed, Alex thought about what would happen to

them. “I see land!” Alex shouted to his friends. As they rowed towards the land, they saw

a cave and decided to mine for some stone and iron. After they made iron chest plates

and stone tools for everybody, when they exited the cave they realised it was nighttime.

They saw a skeleton aiming an arrow at them and Kalem blocked the arrow. Then Zeb and

Fox slaughtered the skeleton and found a bow. “I’ll take the bow.” Fox said. “Okay.” Alex

sighed. They killed some more mobs and Alex got a bow. They then found a punch 2 and

infinity 1 bow. Fox took that bow and gave the old bow to Zeb. They found a village and

there were 2 blacksmiths. The group found some diamonds and iron tools in the chests.

Fox found this red button and fell down a hole and into this room with maxed out things

of everything. He took the stuff and distributed it to the whole group evenly. They were

OP and ready for battle. They made a base and built a castle where they were ready for

the last stand against the things that have chased them for so long.

They got on the castle wall and saw the things. They realised it was this glitch which

was as dark as midnight. They each had 100 health and did 10 damage per hit. They

killed one in 10 seconds. “We need an army for this, we’re going to fail.” Alex sighed in

defeat. Then a voice behind them said “Well you're lucky you’ve got an army of your

own.” They whipped around and saw these people behind them. “What the heck is

going on?” Kalem asked. “You need help right?” one asked. “Yes, yes, yes and yes.”

Zeb said. “Okay, everybody let’s do this!” the other one yelled. “Let the battle begin.” Fox said

The quartet charged into battle and quickly found their target which was the boss guy. It had

1000 health and it did 30 damage per hit. “Come and get me losers!” The boss guy taunted.

“Come and get us!” Alex yelled back. The guy charged across the battlefield, knocking his own

soldiers out of the way to get to the group of 4. He swung his battleaxe toward them when he

got there. They all swiftly dogged out of the way and counter attacked the boss guy. It was

now at 975 health. It swung the battle axe at Zeb while he was recovering. Fox barely managed

to block the attack on Zeb and Zeb hit it with everyone else. It was at 950 health now. As the

battle raged around them, they found themselves surrounded by the enemy. The boss said,

“Ready… Aim… Fire!” Then there was this thing that came down from the sky. They realised

it was a laser cannon. Alex shot the cannon and got the boss on 200 health along with killing

some of the glitches. But then the cannon broke. The battle continued hastily. Soon the boss

was on 50 health and Fox, Kalem, Alex and Zeb were on half a heart. They all attacked and it

was on 5 health. The thing did it’s final attack which was spinning the axe around and throwing it.

Fox dodged the attack and delivered the final blow. It was over. They finally defeated

the glitch and began to celebrate their victory. The friends healed up and decided it was

time to go back to their world. They filled the path of destruction caused by the glitches.

They made it back to the portal and managed to get back through the portal. The four

friends got back to their houses and decided to make a new world. The group never

went through the portal again… Or did they?

The Boy With Wings Reflection

W.A.L.T. Reflect on our experiences.

 In NBC we were lucky enough to have people come and put on a show. The Show was called The Boy With Wings, or as I like to call it, Da Boi Wath Wongs. Sorry if you're reading this, people who made the show. The show was about a guy who needed to save his apple trees from dying and he went on a quest to find the treasure which would save his apple trees. What he didn't know was that the water that he was looking for was under a rock in his apple tree orchard. He eventually found out and saved his trees from dying. There was also in between parts of the story a professor who was talking a type of bird called Godwits. I loved the show and thought it was awesome. Have you ever read the book The Boy With Wings?

Here are some pictures from it.

Blasting Billionaire boy review

 W.A.L.T. write a book review.

For a book review contest with $1000 dollars worth of prizes, Room 2 decided to make a book review about Billionaire Boy by David Walliams. Here's the review:

Blasting Billionaire boy

‘Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a million dollars? Or a billion? Maybe even a

trillion dollars? Meet Joe Spud’.

David Walliams is a bestselling famous author. Billionaire Boy is just one of his many, many famous

books. David Walliams is 49 years old and was born on 20th August 1971 in Merton, London.Tony Ross is the illustrator of many of David Walliams' books. Billionaire Boy is just one of

the books that Tony Ross illustrated.

Billionaire Boy kicks off with a boy named Joe who is a billionaire who doesn’t like his school for rich

children.  He moves to the local school that is less rich and more like the average school with two goals

in his mind: make a real friend and hide his billionaire status. He makes a friend named

Bob and then Joe stops being friends with Bob because Joe was paying some bullies to be nice to him.

Joe’s personality is laid back, lazy and a little bit suspecting but then later changes as the

book goes on. Joe is not very athletic and not very fit, fast or strong. I felt awesome about

Joe because he is using his money to help others.

One thing that Mr Spud figured out was a new type of toilet paper which let him and his son

Joe become super rich.

I really enjoyed this book and rated it 4.5 stars. This book is good for all ages, mostly for 8 to 13.

I would definitely recommend this book because it’s fun to read and a reasonable amount of

challenge with lots of pages for you to appreciate. I definitely would show it to my friends.

In conclusion, Billionaire boy is a must read book by an inspiring cool author.

Autumn Leaves

W.A.L.T. Write Haiku's.

Today me and the rest of Room 2 wrote Haiku's. A Haiku has to have 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third and final line.

This is my Haiku:

Amber leaves fall down,

Sticks underfoot crunch like fire,

We finished our walk.

2 days ago we went out for a walk around the domain to look at the leaves and write down notes. I wrote a Haiku out of my notes but only kept the last line that you saw in my Haiku.

Limericks

 W.A.L.T. Write a limerick.

We had to write limericks a week or 2 back and I paired up with my friend Kalem to do it. Limericks are meant to be funny and have 5 lines. Here is the link!

Report about NBC

 W.A.L.T. Write informative writing

In room 2 the other students and I wrote reports about NBC. What we did is we looked at a time capsule, had a walk around the school and interviewed Ms dains (The principle). For me it took a few hours to make this report. Please click this link to the report and I hope you enjoy it!

Camp Letter

W.A.L.T. Show our appreciation in a written letter.

On week 3 on term one, Rooms 2 and 1 went to Arthur's Pass and stayed there for 3 days. This is a letter to thank James for helping me!

To James,

Thank you for taking me to Arthur's Pass village to camp for a few days with the rest of room 2! I remember when we went to castle rock at the end of the last day! My favourite part was when we played spotlight and when we went to the Devil’s punch bowl waterfall! I also thank you for taking the time to drive me, Zeb, Lochy, Paige and Claudia to Arthur’s Pass and back to school!

Yours Sincerely,

Fox.

Spider man top trump

W.A.L.T. design a top trump. Today I made a custom top trump of spider man because we had to make a `top trump´ and there is the one I made below of spider man!

Life-cycle of a Tuatara

We have been learning to write an explanation about animal life-cycle. We had to include a title, introduction, subtitles, conclusion, technical language, factual information, a topic and stages. We also learnt about pandas and frogs but I chose Tuataras. It went well because when I had my plan done I could just look at it and then write it down on the document. My next step is to maybe think about detail. What do you like about Tuataras? Have you written a life-cycle before?

Here is my writing on the life-cycle of a Tuatara.

The life-cycle of a Tuatara!

Today I am going to tell you about the life-cycle of a Tuatara!

Stage one: the egg.

A female Tuatara lay 10 to 19 eggs in a deep underground burrow.
A Tuataras eggs are soft and leathery.
An egg with a female inside is warm and an egg with a male inside is cold.

Stage two: the hatchling

A baby hatchling will come out of the egg. The hatchlings are left to defend themselves by their mother.
[It's kind of mean.] A hatchling has 3 eyes for some weird reason. [It is cool though.]

Stage three: the juvenile.

Juvenile Tuataras don't have babies or mate yet.
Eventually the juvenile Tuatara grow scales over their 3rd eye.
For the first 15 years of its life a Tuatara is called a juvenile.

Stage four: the adult.

Adult Tuataras are about 45 to 60 centimeters long.
A Tuatara has been alive before the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Tuataras have been alive for almost 200 million years. Tuataras lay eggs every 3 to 4 years. 

What did you learn about Tuataras? Do you have one as a pet? Do you even like Tuataras?

How To Play Manhunt/Build Up Tag

We have been learning to write clear instructions. To write clear instructions you need a title, goal, materials and a method. Now I will tell you how to play Manhunt/Build up tag!!

Reflection 1

we have been learning to write a narrative, to write a narrative you need a title, problem, intro, solution and a ending. I enjoyed writing the narrative because its fun to make twists and turns in your writing. I found the planning challenging because you have lots of ideas in your head and you don`t know what idea to use. My next step is to make my ending more interesting by adding more descriptive words. My question for you is what do you like about story writing?


Enjoy my presentation of the great escape!!

Persuasive writing

W.A.L.T. Write persuasively. To write persuasively you need a opinion, strong language, 3 reasons and a catchy title. You need 3 reasons for stating your examples. I enjoyed doing the filming for my W.A.L.T. I found challenging making the video as well because it took me about 5 tries to get it perfect. What is persuasive writing? Now I will show you the video that me and Zeb made!!!!!!!!!!!!!
