The Day of Athletics...

Yesterday, 28th of November we did Athletics in our school. Some of the things that we did was, sprints, long distance high jump, shot put, discuss and long jump; of course we also had rest time. All/most of the students, from junior to senior participated in every sport, we all showed resilience when things got hard for me I think the hardest ones we're the jumping sport because I don't really jump that high or long. But I did do a pretty good job at the high jump, sprint, shot put and discuss.

Deadly snakes

 Introduction

    Deadly snakes

Kia Ora my name is Shanarnia. Have you ever heard of snakes? If you haven't heard about snakes I can tell you about snakes. Like what they eat and where they live and how they grow and how they have baby .

How they grow?             

Do you know that snakes can grow up to  3.9 metres or be as short as 10 centimeters long. The largest snakes can reach up to 9 meters.                                                                                  

Where they live?

 Do you want to know where snakes live? I will tell you where snakes live they live in Greenland, Australia, UK and America, Mexico.

What does a snake eat?

Do you want to know that Snakes can eat any animal. Snakes eat eggs, birds, rodents, deer, pigs and people.

How can snakes have baby?

Female snakes produce young about twice per year. In some species babies are born alive. Other species lay eggs. Snakes can have anywhere from one to 150 baby snakes at a time.

How can snakes hear?

Snakes have no visible ear, so they don't hear sounds as we do. But it's not quite right to say that snakes are deaf. They have vestiges of the apparatus for hearing inside their heads, and that setup is attached to their jaw bones, so they feel vibrations very well and may hear low-frequency airborne sounds.

How snakes move?

Snakes have four ways of moving around. Since they don't have legs they use their muscles and their scales to do the "walking". Serpentine method: This motion is what most people think of when they think of snakes. Snakes will push off of any bump or other surface, rocks, trees, etc, to get going.

Snakes jaw?

The jaws of the snake are not fused together.  That means that unlike our jaws, snake jaws are not connected at the back of their mouths.  This makes it possible for them to eat very big meals, bigger than their own heads!  That would be like you swallowing a whole watermelon!

If you had your mouth full of a watermelon, do you think you could breathe?  Not likely!

Snakes can.  They have a little tube at the bottom of their mouth that comes out far enough to get air when the rest of their mouth is full.

In conclusion

Some people don’t like snakes because they bite you so hard. They  swallow you down like a big  watermelon. I love snakes because they eat any animals like  for example pigs or deer.

Some people from different Islands they like to eat snakes. I haven’t try a snake before but I would like to try one.

So we picked a game called BOLD because it looked really cool.

Partly cloudy

        Partly cloudy

One sunny day I saw stork flying through the sky carrying babies and cute animals.The sky was light  blue like an ocean. We went back up to the sky and watched the cotton candy clouds making cutest animals. I saw a really cutest puppy it had chubby cheek and big brown eye. The storks carry the puppy all the way to his new kennel.

There  was a big sad lonely cloud. He made some bad animals. He made a crocodile, a hedgehog and a goat. The lonely cloud was about to make a shark.I got really angry at the stork . I was crying out loud because the stork went to the cotton candy cloud to get some protection.

Adventures are the pits.

One terrible day I was at McDonald's, I felt anxious and terrified.  I had goosebumps it hurts so bad it felt like I was going to cry but I held my tears. I didn’t want to go down the scary slide.            

I went down the scary slide. I fell into the ball pit it was pitch dark. The ball thudded on my head hard and it hurt so bad. The ball hit my head. I had a sticky lollipop on my icky face. I tried to rip the lollipop off my face.There was a skeleton at the bottom of the ball pit.

I nearly fell off the edge of the ball pit. I keep climbing up and falling down. This stinky plaster landed on my face. I tried my best to climb back up and this sticky lollipop  helped me climb back up. I ate the purple sticky lollipop.

The piano

It  was a dark night. I was  playing the on piano that  my wife gave me . I was playing the piano loud as I can play. I was sad and lonely . I sit straight on the comfortable chair on my own.  I just realized that I was sitting next to my wife.                                          

She was a ghost. I loved her so much when she died in the war. She kissed me then she disappeared.The next part of the song was when I was in the war. Then It made me really happy to see my best friend who died. He was the only friend that I had . I was  still playing the piano and I couldn’t stop.

I was a little kid I got a present for my mum and dad. It was a fake wooden horse. I was ride the horse  around the piano.We were playing the piano together.

Buster the Boxer

It was night time before Christmas I was sitting on the ground watching my owner jumping on her soft bed.

Then I saw the dad making the new trampoline it was very cold.  I was looking outside the big sliding  door window.

I saw some animals jumping on the new trampoline they

were communicating with each other.

The orange fox said, “this is really fun.”

The other fox is Tom.  He said “that the new trampoline was fun.”

The black and white skunk said, “the trampoline is fantastic.”

The Hedgehog said, “that new trampoline is so fun.”

The squirrel said, “this is fun. “

They decided to leave the trampoline because they were tired after all the jumping.

Then it was morning I ran down the stairs.

When they opened  the big sliding door window I quickly ran out and I jumped on the new trampoline.

I was really happy and excited and I never wanted to stop jumping.

My owner was disgusted and not happy.

The teachers for our group, Whea Heather and Mrs Scott chose a spot to put our bags down. We opened our plastic bags from our bag and wrote our name. After the teachers told us the instructions

we set out to find a driftwood and 10 other sea treasures. When I set out to find the sea treasures I found 15 sea shells and a driftwood. While looking for some sea treasures some of the people found a Blue Bottle Jellyfish. We learnt not to touch the Blue Bottle Jellyfish because it can sting you. After

looking at the sea treasures we had Morning Tea. Some people finished Morning Tea earlier so we had to play at the sand near the sea. Some people made sandcastles, caves and other things.
