blue whale

Blue whale: Fewer than 10,000 remains. The blue whale is the biggest animal in the sea. They can grow over 30 meters long. They can weigh up to 140 tones. Blue whales use their sense of hearing and their sense of touch to find their way around. The blue whale breathes air, not water. Blue whales can live to 70 or 80 years. When the blue whale blows out its spray is as high as a house. The blue whale can stay underwater for 30 minutes. The blue whales don’t have teeth. The blue whale eats krill. When the blue whale mates, the baby comes a year later


This week I researched about the blue whale because this week we are researching about the sea

NZ native birds

today we researched about a NZ native bird of our choice I chose the silver eye also known as the wax eye or the white eye 

Trees explanation text

Trees

Without trees, we would not survive because the trees give oxygen and They absorb gases. Trees are home to many species. If the animals come extinct then we will have too many trees and the food chain would start to die and then there would be no animals or people on earth. The native forest in 1000 was most of the land there was one big but small kind of area the forest in 1840 was a lot less there were 13 places of no trees forest in 2005 30 spots that were not trees.

ecosystem expiation text

What is an ecosystem?

 An ecosystem is a system with a balance of decomposers, producers, and consumers
with food and water an ecosystem will survive but an ecosystem has to have life.
Decomposers, producers, and consumers all have an important role in the ecosystem.

Decomposers 

Decomposers have a big role; they have to Decompose the leftovers from others. Decompose means break down other leftovers 

Consumers 

Consumers are a big part of the ecosystem; they are the animals. The animals help eat the insects

Producers

Producers are the plant in the ecosytem

I start feeling sad a few coins a day. Through the days and the weeks my jar gets bigger more coins I think I pull down the pitcher from my wall and stare at it a couple of days later I get to this clearing my dog sniffs the ground then goes to chase butterflies I give hi some food he chops it down and we walk off into the distance with my guitar and dog.

enviro inquiry

today I shook a tree and found a little spider

the magic tree

The big tree stood all alone in the deserted forest why it thinks why did the mean old woodchoppers have to chop down all the other trees except me 

Story starter!
The tree was all that remained. A solitary figure, it stood there in defiance of the destruction surrounding it. The bark had begun to peel away, one piece at a time, joining the wreckage of other trees that lay scattered across the scorched earth. This tree was different from the other trees. It contained magic. It contained hope...

Can you continue the story? What is so different about this tree? What has happened to the other trees around it?

Question time!
What do you think has caused the destruction all around the tree?  choppers
Why has this one tree survived? Because it was too hard to chop down
If you walked through the portal, what would happen to you? What would you see? If you walk through the portal you would go be a cat in the stars
If this is a portal to another world, would you go through it or stay on Earth, even if you had no idea what could happen? You would go through
Is it good to take risks? Are some risks riskier than others? Yes it is good to take risks and yes some risks are riskier than others
Sentence challenge!
A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between one thing and another.
It may tell you where a thing is in relation to something else. E.g. The green, shining door appeared inside the tree. It may tell you when something is in relation to another event. E.g. The portal would not close until the electrical storm had ended. Can you find any prepositions in your writing? Can you write 3 sentences that contain prepositions? The green shining door sweep me away into a world of unknown

Sick sentences!
These sentences are ‘sick' and need help to get better. Can you help?
► The big tree had
bark and leaves.
Inside the tree were stars and the moon.
The big tree had shining leaves and the bark was glistening in the sunlight Inside was big beautiful stars and a big super moon

library lion

library lion retelling

One day a lion walked into the library he walked right past the circulation desk and to the stacks.
Mr. Mcbee ran down the hall shouting "Miss Merriweather" Miss Merriweather said, "no running". "But there's a lion in the library," Mr. Mcbee said  "is he breaking any rules," said Miss Merriweather ". No, not really" said Mr.Mcbee "then leave him be," Miss Merriweather said. The lion walked around the whole library sniffing everything then he padded over to the storybook area. Soon it was time for story hour the story hour lady was a bit nervous but she read the book title clearly. The lion stayed for the next 3 stories but the children started to walk away. A girl came up to the lion and said: "story hour is over its time to go ". The lion roared Miss Merriweather came out who is making that noise Miss Merriweather marched over to the lion and said " if you can not be quiet you will have to leave " the little girl tugged on Miss Merriweather's dress and said "if the lion promises to be quiet can he come back for story hour tomorrow" the lion stopped roaring. Miss Merriweather said" yes the lion can stay for story hour tomorrow hooray said "the children". The next day the lion came back "you are early" said Miss Merewether Storytime doesn't start till 3 o clock. The next day the lion was early again soon the lion started doing things without being asked. He let's small children stand on his back so they could reach the books on the high shelves then he curled up and waited for story hour. He made a comfy backrest for the children at story hour.

there are four people scuba diving and they found an old stone statue embedded in coral they are starting to run out off-air they are shining their torches. The coral is so short but the stone statue is so big and heavy it would take 100 people to carry it back to shore and they still would get sore arms

The terrifying haunted house.

One day Alex, Scarlet, and Mira got together for Scarlet's Birthday... She got lots of gifts, she got wizardry things, some playing cards, she also got one from her aunt Jean,  a book from her favorite series FAME. She started to read  The terrifying haunted house. In the middle of the first chapter, she got swept away with her friends all they could see were spirals. They arrived at The terrifying haunted house. ( lightning strikes)

Scarlet and Alex were screaming but Mira just walked up to the door and knocked. She screamed, “this is so fun.”  Scarlet and Alex were like “noooooooooooooooooooo.” Slowly the door started to creak open all they could see were shadows. They all stepped in…………... 

Scarlet fell in a trap door, there were mini-monsters trying to bite her. she screamed “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”  “don’t worry we’re coming to save you,” Mira SCREAMED. she jumped in. Alex was so scared “ guys ….. Wwww Where are you?” He said. Mira SCREAMED. “ JUMP FORWARD,” Alex screamed. “OK.” he jumped forward and screamed “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”  scarlet landed at the bottom with a THUD… Mira landed with a THUD. Soon after Alex landed.

 They saw a door and they opened it. It was creaking as they stepped along the cold dark tiles. They saw a door on the far side of the room. They started running. The creaking begins to come louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, louder, louder and louder.

Their footsteps echoed in the dark gloomy house. They reached the door. Alex  pulled  on the handle  “no the doors locked.” “We're going to have to find another out,” Mira said  Boulders started coming from both sides of the house. Scarlet screamed where trapped but Mira said no run forwards the boulders collided together and smashed everybody ducked.

They saw a door they started running towards. Their footsteps become louder. When they get to the door. It said BigFoot’s room anybody enters they will be sure to leave. Big thumps sounded from in the room a big growl came from Whatever was Inside the room there was a  big shelf nearby.  Huge footsteps came towards the door Mira, Alex and Scarlett jumped behind the bookshelf.  Just in time.  The door handle twisted and the door opened and Spinning Bigfoot came out with a rolling pin. “He had a blue coat on and he's headed for the locked door.” Alex said quietly  Bigfoot turned “ I think he heard a noise.” Scarlet said as quietly as she possibly could.  Bigfoot started spinning again.

 We heard keys jingle, his eyes lit up, he ran to the door, jumbled around for some keys unlocked he opened it and there was nothing. He stopped and stared. Muffled some words that sounded like please dad let me see my world ahead of me. Some words came back. Me and Alex we're going to scream but we held in because  Mira shushed us. A light appeared and bigfoot bluecoat stepped out, that's what we were gonna call him at least. He said wow and shut the door.

We all jumped out and ran towards the door surprisingly he didn't lock it.  There was a window high above there was a small shelf that Scarlet jumped up onto. She said to Alex give me a boost I can't reach the window ledge. Alex jumped up onto the shelf after her Mira held the shelve so they didn't fall over. “Scarlet jump onto my back,” Alex said Scarlet jumped on Alex's back and pulled herself up to the window standing on Alex's shoulders. She said “Bigfoots heading for the river is far away. Now he's down a hill we can go.” we all shouted “yes.” we could finally get out of this creepy place.

 They suddenly heard laughing. Ther hearts started beating fast and they jumped down from the shelf. Their faces had terrifying looks on them. Small footsteps became closer, they broke out into a run, left it a dead end, they saw a shadow, it looked like a witch crossed with a horse. But no it was just a witch, she had duck tape and rope she ran towards them and tied Mira’s legs, Scarlet's arms and Alex’s arms and legs first. Then Mira's arms and Scarlet's legs and duct tape over all their mouths.

 She dragged them to a dark cobwebby room. She shut the door and turned the light on.  She tied each one of them to a different chair and left closing the door behind her. Alex Started squirming  Mira mumbled relax Alex stop squirming everybody just wiggled a little.  Mira mumbled, keep opening your mouth.  Everybody kept opening their mouths. Mira's duct tape fell off then Scarlett's and Alex's. Myra's hands got free. She untied herself from the chair then untied her legs. I went to  Scarlet and Alex and untied them both. They turned the light on.

 She pulled the nob and it was locked. They all searched for ways out; they looked under the table, Chairs, DVDs,  mats, books, even the TV cabinet.  there was no way out the talks Mira said ”  I wonder if we'll ever get out of this place.” she murmured under her breath  “ I'm cold how about you.” scarlet shivered  there was no heater there

“ yeah I am a bit cold,”  Alex said with a shiver.  Mira said, “ it is a bit chilly isn't it.” Scarlet  and Alex looked up and said“ yes.”” lookup and down and around.” Mira said when a chilly breeze swept past.

Alex spotted a window High above there's a window up there. Scarlet and Mira looked up and Sure enough, there was a window. Scarlet said, ``How do we get up there?'' Mira  said, “I'm thinking.” Alex do you mind being on the bottom of the pile yeah I don't mind Alex seed ok good we will push the table over to the window Alex will climb onto the table then I will stand on his shoulders then Scarlet will stand on my shoulders and up onto the window And pull herself up and open the window she will lie down the drainpipe and I will do the same then Alex you will jump up to the window and do the same is that clear yes they murmured They all did the same as Mira had said.

 Then they Run through the forest, the trees dripping with blood. They ran out of the forest there were so relieved they turned around and everything was gone. They saw a house. It looked like Scarlet’s house. She knocked on the door. Nobody answered so they opened the door and went in. It was exactly the same as Scarlet's flame started curling up around them. Scarlett was back at her kitchen table with Alex and Mira beside her. 

If they were dreaming at the same time it might be real...
