Sports or Music ?

 Do you choose music or sports, well I definitely choose sports and I will tell you why.

Sports can help you improve skills you already know. Sports can also help you learn new skills such as better communication between people, time management and leadership.

Some sports even teach people how to work together, teamwork. Teamwork is very important to learn because many careers in life require teamwork and that is why you should learn teamwork early in life, sports can help with that.

People can form bonds or friendships with people playing the same sports/sport as them, this will make sports fun because you are hanging out with friends. Even with out friends you can still have fun and enjoy your sport.

Over all I think sports is better for all the reasons I listed.

 

Mischievous Maisie

 GO AWAY! Never come back. Don't read this story. It is so horrible actually worse than horrible, terrible horrible, yes this is terrible horrible. Now please burn this story right now. This is your final warning...okay then, I warned you! Mischievous Maisie, Mischievous Maisie as you can tell by the name is mischievous and I mean mischievous! Maisie always wears a clean white jumper with a grey pouch pocket. Her thick, shiny, black hair covers her eyes, in fact no one has ever seen Maisie's eyes. She wears baggy grey pants and white sneakers. It was a Monday morning at Bumblebee hive school and Maisie was doing her usual sticking mean notes on peoples backs, spreading mean rumours and giving people mean nicknames. "Ha ha there goes Eavesdropping Evie, like seriously who has ears that big!" Maisie says with a mischievous smirk on her face. This was only one of the victims that got a mean nickname from Maisie. Some of the other victims of this mean name calling are Fussy Felisha no one forgot about her after that, Sizzling Sarah, Dumb Daniel and even more. RING! Mischievous Maisie heads off to her class. Maisie walked into her class looking very scary, even the teacher Miss Pot looked scared. "Hello class today we will be learning about..." "I don't want to learn anything, '' Maisie says. "Maisie stop it or you will be going to the principal's office!" "I don't care, '' Maisie says with a grin. "Right, go to the principal's right now". Maisie stands up tall and pulls out a pad of small sticky notes. " Of course Miss Pot ''. Walking out of the room slowly Maisie secretly puts a sticky note on Miss Pots back without anybody knowing. Now of course Maisie didn't actually go to the principal's office instead she went to her locker. "Now what colour should I pick!". Pulling out spray paint cans Maisie shook them up and started making her master plan. "Miss, what's that big bird doing outside" Dumb Daniel said. "What are you talking about Daniel?" Miss Pot said. HAHAHA the whole class started laughing at the note on Miss Pot's back. The note read (I fart smelly farts and they smell like poo). Miss Pot knew who it was straight away! "Mischievous Maisie always being so Mischievous and naughty!" Miss Pot cried. "Miss....the big bird is running away!''Daniel said again. "Huh?". Miss Pot looked out the window shocked to see that there was no big bird, it was Maisie! Miss Pot ran straight outside the classroom and down the hall as fast as she could. She burst open the door to see Maisie standing outside. "Maisie what are you doing....". Miss Pot looked at the front of the school to see a huge spray painted sign that read Miss Pot is a meany that farts a lot. Miss Pot turned red with embarrassment and stormed off to the principal's office dragging Maisie along with her. "Mr. Morning this child has done something so naughty and...". "Oh Maisie my lovely child" Mr Morning said with a smile. "WHAT! Maisie is your daughter...well she did something naughty let me show you!" "What no Maisie would not do anything thing naughty". "Come Sir I'll show you". "Fine". Maisie and Mr Morning followed Miss Pot outside. "See right there!". HAHAHA. " That is so funny, '' said Mr Morning. "But Maisie would never do that". Miss Pot glared at Maisie and Maisie gave her a little smirk. "But Sir it was definitely Maisie!". "I've seen enough, you have no proof that it was Maisie!" Mr Morning said sternly. "Now Miss Pot please scrub the building and get rid of this spray paint". Miss Pot stood there speechless. Mr Morning went back to his office. Mischievous Maisie well for her she kept on being mischievous. 

Naked mole rats

                                                                     Naked mole rats    

Naked mole rats also go by the name Sand puppy. This creature is a part of the Heterocephalidae family.

Naked mole rats feed on the roots of plants, they dig underground and find the roots. Something disgusting the Naked mole rat does is eat their own poo for nutrients, it is pretty gross but it  is one of the things it eats.

Underground in dry places is where they live. They can be found in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.

Naked mole rats are known for their looks. People say their ugly or even hideous, some people say their scary looking. They are hairless and their skin is ruff, wrinkly and tough. Their teeth are long and skinny too.

The Naked mole rat is rodent size making them easy prey. Their main predator is snakes and since they live in West Somalia to Kenya, they often get attacked by the Kenyan boa who lives in the same area.

Writing W3 T2 2020 (Avatar the last-airbender)

With in the walls of Ba Sing Se there lived a young earth bender named Ashlyn. She would practise her earth bending all day with her buddy Oma the badger-mole. Even though Oma was blind because she was a badger-mole she could still see because of her earth bending ability.

 One day Ashlyn was practising along side her buddy Oma, they were earth bending. BOOM, BASH, BOOM. "What was that!?" Ashlyn cried. Ashlyn ran as fast as she could to the walls of Ba Sing Se and Oma followed. "I'll just earth bend my way up to the top of the wall". Ashlyn heaved herself on a huge rock all the way up the wall.

 "What's going on?"asked Ashlyn. "See over there" one of the Terra team soldiers replied. In the distance it was no doubt that there were fire nation army troupes heading straight for Ba Sing Se. The Terra team jumped down the wall causing a huge wave of rocks to head straight for the troupes. BOOM, BASH, BOOM. Huge balls of fire started flying through the air but luckily the Terra team managed to stop them with big boulders. 

This time an even bigger fire ball was made it was huge no way were the Terra team able to stop this.

Then all of a sudden the huge fire ball was sent flying through the sky. "NO!" Ashlyn yelled. "OMA!".

Leaping into action, Ashlyn hopped on Oma's back and jumped of the wall. Ashlyn then stood on Oma's back and they started to create a huge bolder it was getting, bigger, bigger and bigger until it was bigger than the fire ball. BOOM. Ashlyn and Oma released the huge boulder it went flying through the sky and hit the fire ball. The fire ball and the boulder crashed down on the fire nation troupes."RETREAT" The fire nation troupes yelled. Just like that the fire nation troupes were gone and Ba Sing Se was saved. 

My planet writing

 This weeks writing was all about space just like our reading was. I chose to describe what my planet looked like.

My writing:

Pshhhhh, I landed back on my planet. I took one step of my small rocket. pink stardust surrounds my feet, well the rocky ground crumbles. Shining comets pass by twinkling and lighting up the dark sky. The rings that surround our world are made out of thin ice, ice as thin as glass. The mist travels far and wide, it flows with the wind too. The wind brushed against my face as the mist passed me. Here back on my planet. Home sweet home.

I enjoyed this weeks writing because it is my favourite to describe.

What would your planet look like?

Writing/ Model: (Cheddar cheese and chocolate cake).

 This weeks writing was about things we like and we used a model called Cheddar cheese and chocolate cake. What foods do you like?

My writing:

I am crazy about tiny, salty pea chips.

I am addicted to crispy chicken patties and flaky seaweed.

I never tire of crunching on lightly salted fries or continuously popping bubble wrap.

I can consume a whole bag of crinkle cut potato chips

while sitting on the couch watching tv.

I wear colourful long socks and a messy plait.

I love to shoot some hoops in the sun and sketch different pictures,

and paint colourful paintings on a canvas.

I like fluffy puppies, woolly sheep and scruffy pigs.

My book

 This is my book for this week that I wrote.

I enjoyed writing my book.

Reading/Writing W11 T2

Here is this weeks reading and writing. It was all about a book called castaway and that book was based on a true story that happened in 1907. And how a group of people got stuck on an island now known as disappointment island.

I enjoyed this weeks reading and writing because I liked writing the story of a shipwreck.
Do you know where disappointment island is?.

Fireworks Guyfawkes poem

Since it was just Guyfawkes, we could do descriptive writing or a poem about Guyfawkes.

This is my poem:

Fireworks
Lighting up the sky in the middle of the night, so colorful and bright. A noise so loud, it covers the crowd. With a very eye popping sight. So much to see, beautiful as can be. Fireworks will light up the sky.

I liked doing this writing because I love to make poems.
Do you like fireworks?

My library

For writing we had different options and I chose to write about what my library would look like.

My library

If I had a library it would be colourful and the walls would be covered with purple glitter. The books would be in neat lines and they would be in categories the first row would be chapter books and the next row would be picture books then there would be more rows of other books. There would be giant books that fly around the room well you read and if you're looking for a book then the giant flying books will help you find it. In front of my library would be a rainbow sign and it would say ‘the greatest library’. There would be small blue books scanning your
book for you on the way out. On top of my library roof would be a silver musical book statue that played music for everybody in my library. My library would also be a two story library and on the top floor there would be a machine that cleaned books so if your book was old and dusty the machine would clean it. The machine that cleans books would be a sparkly rose gold colour and the buttons to clean the books would be sparkly platinum. That’s what my library would look like.

I enjoyed doing this activity because I like writing story's.
 Do you like writing story's?

The mysterious door in my backyard

For writing we had to write about a mysterious door in our backyard and what mysterious things are behind the door. I liked doing this writing because you got to use your imagination and make the story up your self.
