Book review - Long way home

Long way Home Book letter Dear Readers, I recommend this highly to ages 8-13 because it uses lots of good vocabulary and lots of out of the box sentences. The book is about a boy named George who goes to a foster home with the dyers and gets very close to them. I don't wanna spoil it to much but I give this book 10/10 stars. By Poppy

Little Red Jacket a Fractured fairy tale

Once upon a time there lived a skinny , mean boy whose name was  Little Red jacket . He wore a small , grotty and old Red Jacket his dear Granny gave him.

But one sunny day Little Red jacket’s mother told Little Red Jacket to deliver his dear Granny a basket full of cakes and sweet treats.

So Little Red jacket agreed and gathered his small , grotty and old Red jacket , put the jacket on and collected a small crust of grain bread from his mother to eat on the way to Granny’s.

He then entered the forest and pulled out his small crust of grain bread and began to chew. But as Little Red Jacket got further into the forest he saw a small grey figure in the distance, So Little Red Jacket shouted “ Who are you “ and the figure replied “ Your dear Granny Sweets “ Little red jacket shouted “ Oh Granny then what color eyes do I have Granny “ the wolf answered “ Um obviously green my dear Boy “ and Little Red jacket Replied “ Oh no Granny I have bright blue eyes.

Suddenly Little Red Jacket began to sprint to Granny’s. When he arrived he Knocked on the door impatiently hoping the wolf couldn’t catch up. Granny slowly came to the door and Little Red Jacket rushed inside and they waited and waited but no one arrived so after 45 minutes and then Little Red Jacket made his way home safely and carefully. So they lived Happily ever after!

          The End !

My pig - Poppy

                      My Pet pig

I have a crazy pet pig. He has competed in the Olympics . He has over taken Usain Pig in sprints , Bet Piggy Adams at shot put and jumped higher than Eliza piggy. 

Over the years he has eaten my Jumbo elephant , My creative chicken and conquered my Jungle lion. But to this day I will never forget the day he eat my Greyhound Hugo. 

I was a summer day and my pig was eating his slop. While I was outside , I tied Hugo to the fence beside my pig . I then went into the chicken house to collect the eggs for our special cake. I suspected nothing so I was minding my own business until there was a woof than GULP ! I ran outside to see a very very very fat pink piggy with a smile wiped all over his face. 

I smacked my pig on cheek and then ran inside, My pig didn't care because he had eaten so many of my animals in his time the old smack was nothing to him. So never leave your animals alone with a Olympic Champion.

Tui persausive writing

            Save the beautiful Tui !

I strongly believe that it is of national importance that the Tui should be saved. Because due to predators the Tui population in New zealand has dangerously dropped.

Firstly the Tui is endemic to New Zealand and not in other countries. They are very at risk of being endangered due to the loss of their habitat and the predator’s will eat them.

Secondly the Tui is a pollinator and without them the world would have no nice flowers and fresh breeze, instead it would be smelly and all the nice nature around us would die.

So always remember those reasons because you need to save the Tui.

My Granny's story - Poppy

THE STORY OF LIFE!
My Granny, Kathleen Aleena Talbot, later to be known as Kathy or Susie ,was born on the 7th of October 1947 in the Dunedin hospital. She has 3 brothers. One named Kenneth - known as Kenny ,
Granny - Known as Kathleen , Kathy or Susie , Lindsay - Known as Manny and Donald - Known as Donald.

She lived in Waikouaiti a small town just out of Dunedin where her father William also known as Bill, worked in his butcher shop W. Talbot butcher. My Granny had a way different life to us, I mean firstly they had a long drop toilet which was outside. They used to dig a hole and place a bucket in it and then they cut up newspaper and used it as toilet paper but their dad Bill had to clean out the toilets every night and I bet that it was horrible. Secondly milk in the shop was a no go so they had to get milk from their cow. They would milk it daily for the usual tea or coffee.

She went to school and made it all the way through primary school but six months until she was due to leave primary school they moved 7km out of Timaru to a farm. She went to high school and left at 16 and went to work at a office as an office girl for a company called Wright Stevensons. The company dealt with selling sheep and cattle. She did typing and answering the phone. There she meet my  Grandad,Richard. Later in life they got married on the 22nd of March 1969 but then on 1970 my Granny had her first baby Stephen. Then in 1972 another baby was born. Her  name was Erin. Things were all happy and good for 3 more years until in 1975 when Stephen  was five and Erin was 3 , last but not least another baby was born my Mum ,Kim. Soon  after in 1976 in Australia there was a flood and my grandad who was a farmer had too save his sheep. He said goodbye to his kids and his wife and left. A few hours later there was a knock on the door and some police were standing there looking all sad. My granny asked what they were here for then they started to say " we are very sorry to say but we think your husband Richard has died, We think he drowned but he might wash up on shore. We hope that you will be okay" they said then they left. My granny burst into tears. So now let's fast forward a we while further. This is were my Granny was brave enough to pick up the pieces to visit the place were her loving husband and also a kind father's death place. It wouldn't have been easy but here she is now a Granny to 9 beautiful grandchildren and which one of them is me.

I hope that this story is fun to read but most of all a story of learning were sometimes times are rough but you will still make it in the end.

Whio

We were learning about the Whio in class. It is an endangered blue duck. I made this diagram to show what the Whio looks like and labelled the different parts.

We were learning to label properly. I had to remember to use arrows to point to the right things, the labels had to be accurate, they had to be typed with the same size and font. They started with a capital letter. My drawing had to be accurate. My diagram had a title.

Tui information report

                                                    Tui

The tui is endemic to new zealand which means it is unique and can only be found on our shores. However its existence is threatened by humans and pests.

The Tui has a rather large curved beak with a thin long tongue to reach the nectar of its favorite flowers. Tui’s feathers are iridescent colours and in the light they seem to change colour. The most important part of identifying a tui is under there chin is a one of a kind two white feathers called a poi.

The Tui is most commonly found in the north island, west and south coast of the south island. Stewart and Chatham islands. Scarce in Canterbury the Tui prefers forest and needs shrubs and trees plus sources of nectar in 1800’s, maori and europeans hunted them and used skin to line womens hats the Tui’s habitat walls destroyed and pets were introduced . Stoats are a predator and compete for food or take eggs.

The Tui is scarce to new zealand and may never exist again in new zealand and any other country. So go out and help by doing something little or even if your lunch wrappers blow away catch it and you are saving a bird just like that. HELP SAVE THE BIRDS !!!!

Shave for a cure - Poppy

“LEXIE , LEXIE” shouted 100 school pupils. I could see Lexie‘s blue eyes blue up like big balloons. Lexie sat in the blue shaving chair smiling but I knew inside she felt jack rabbits bouncing around making her feel nervous. 

Bobbie - Jo whispered to Lexie “hold onto this” it was a rubberband ball. Bobbie - Jo started to gather Lexies hair into pigtails. Then It was finally time to put the black hairdressers cape on Lexie Bobbie - Jo grabbed a pigtail and “ CHOP “ “ LEXIE , LEXIE” chanted the crowd until all was left on Lexies head was a boys haircut.

Bobbie - Jo grabbed the sharp razor and the chanting got louder and louder then the razor hit Lexie clenched her hands together like a boxer getting ready to fight and Lexie´s beautiful brown locks were gone and all was left was stubble. 

I knew inside Lexie felt same old Lexie but on the outside she was worried. Then Lexie ran of the chair hugging big bear hugs then suddenly it was Romilly´s turn.

Take control of your anger

                                                  

This is our anger chart. The anger chart helps us control our anger. We all made coloured pegs and whenever we get angry we have to move our pegs from the chilled persons to restless face and so on until we are gonna blow.

I find the anger chart helpful because when I move my peg I know that I need I will need to to use a bucket. Buckets are a tool that you use to help calm down.
