Hello bloggers, today we were learning about copy right. We had to make a Piskel or an Incredabox, Google Drawing or use Music Lab. I choose Piskel because I am not very good at using the other websites. It was fun making the Piskel. We then had to use an icon that showed if anyone could use my image, I chose the icon so anyone can use my image but they have to have my name and say that I made it. Have you used Piskel before?
Welcome to my blog! This is a place where I can share my learning. My blog is a collection of questions, ideas, learning in progress and finished work. This year our school focus is "In Our Backyard". Please make comments so I can deepen my understanding, learn about new ideas and improve my work. Thank you for taking the time to support my learning journey!

My Writing
Hello bloggers over the weeks we have been writing different paragraph's from different images. We wrote from 3 different images. It was hard choosing what to write about, I didn't think it was to fun. Do you like my story?
One dark eerie night, the time was slowly running out! They only had a matter of minutes before the castle would collapse. Suddenly a pitch black bird as dark as the night sky flew over huge dark rocks. The bird had need to put a golden key into the colossal boulder to stop it from smashing the 1000 year old castle. Could the bird stop the boulder and save the castle?
The bird had been looking for the key for the last 2 minutes and had about 1 minute otherwise the boulder would destroy the castle. Whatever the golden key gets pushed into would freeze but only one bird could freeze things and that was the bird that was looking for the key. They found the key and dashed all the way to the boulder and quickly stuck it in. the bird had saved everyone that lived in the castle. Everyone was very pleased and the bird became the first ever bird to be knighted. Then the boy woke up.
The boy was very annoyed that it was a dream, to calm down he had a nice peaceful walk along the calm ocean. The water had a very nice reflection of the boy and the hills ahead. The End

The Legend Of Wairaka
Hello bloggers, over the last couple weeks my class and I have all made our own document about the legend of Wairaka. It took a long time, and it was a bit boring. Have you heard the legend of Wairaka? Blog u later!!!
The legend of Wairaka | |
Once upon a time there was a girl called Wairaka, daughter of Chief Toroa. The tribe was called Ngati Awa, one day they were all on a waka, they came across a beautiful island. The men jumped off to check if the island had lots of water and food. | |
As the men were checking the island a HUGE storm came! The waka was rocking side to side, there were big chunky lumpy raindrops,the waves were building up like a puzzle piece with a million pieces. The waves were chasing them heading towards everyone like a big mad swarm of wasps.The thunder was growling like a hungry lion. Everyone got a huge fright when the thunderstruck, it was as loud as a Blue Whale. Hail began to fall and it was making tiny holes in everyone's skin. The kids were screaming “I am too young to die!” and the woman was screaming to try to get the men to notice “AHHHHHHH!” | |
Woman touching the paddle was tupu/bad luck. Wairaka knew what had to be done, she picked up the paddle and shouted “KIA WHAKATANE AU I AHAU!” (which means let me act like a man) | |
In one almighty push Wairaka saved everyone on the waka. | |
If you go to where Wairaka saved her tribe you can see a big statue of Wairaka standing on a rocky rock. THE END |
About Wairaka!!!
Famous, confident, leader, brave, strong, high ranked.
Wairaka is Brave because she broke the rules just so she could save her village and herself.
Wairaka is a Rule Breaker because women were not allowed to touch the paddle. I thought it was a good idea though because the village would have died if she did not pick up the paddle.
Problem!!!
Quickly the huge waves rock the boat side to side.
Horrified, the woman and children are super scared and think they will die.
Slowly, the waka is drifting towards the big jagged rocks.
The woman sadly can't touch the paddle so they would not be able to paddle to shore.
Terrifyingly the men are not on the waka and they can't swim over.
“CRASH!” The loud thunder gives everyone a fright “FLASH!” The lightning makes the sky go bright for 0.01 milliseconds.
Wairaka thinks she has to save everyone.
Story!!!
Suddenly, the waves were building up like a puzzle piece with a million pieces. The waves were chasing them heading towards everyone like a big mad swarm of wasps.The thunder was growling like a hungry lion. Everyone got a huge fright when the thunderstruck, it was as loud as a Blue Whale. Hail began to fall and it was making tiny holes in everyone's skin. The kids were screaming “I am too young to die!” and the woman was screaming to try to get the men to notice “AHHHHHHH!”
End Of Story!!!
Amazed and exhausted, Wairaka paddled the waka back to the shore everyone was chanting “Wairaka, Wairaka, Wairaka” After all the women and all the kids got safely back to shore the men ran over and checked if they were all right. Everyone lived happily ever after.

Extraordinary Characters
The Scary House Writing
Hello bloggers this is my writing about an old scary house.

My Favourite Writing
Hello bloggers, This is my favorite piece of writing from this month. Would you like a troll as a pet?
Start your writing here (remember to add a simile, metaphor or hyperbole): One sunny morning I was happily lying on my bed, Suddenly a beam of light came straight through my roof, I thought the beam of light was coming out of my window but then my roof started lifting off. I saw a big grassy hand holding the roof, I screamed as loud as I could “AHHHHHHHH”. Quickly I jumped out of my bed then ran out the front door, He was sooooooo ugly. His nose looked like a mouse nose, He had crumbled dirt dribbling out his mouth, and be had trees coming out of his back. I ran like the flash down past the houses. He was trying the chase me down the street but he was a bit wobbly though. As he was following me he kept shouting “come on over mate, I won’t hurt you” I was soooo scared I couldn’t look back.

My Writing
Hello bloggers, over the last couple of days my class and I have been writing about a mysterious shadow. It did not take that long to make. Have you been doing writing this term?
Silently the big black shadow started creeping to an emerald green wooden gate. He started fiddling with the big strong lock, he was making A LOT of noise.
There were 5 people in the house that the shadow was trying to get into, the Mum, Dad, Son, Daughter and the butler. The butler got woken up and slowly peered through the window. He saw a HUGE ghost trying to unlock the gate. The butler called the cops and came in less than 5 minutes. When they found the ghost they caught him then he went to jail.
The END!
