Simple, Compound and Complex Sentences

On a cold night Matt and Carrie had just finish from a hard days work.  Matt the owner of the farm was preparing a nice cup of coffee while Carrie (the daughter) went outside into the barn to check on the pigs as it was her last chore. When suddenly, she heard screaming coming from the mountain. She quickly ran back inside to tell her father Matt, that she had heard someone in trouble on the mountain.

So Carrie and her father Matt rushed to the mountain with a flashlight. When they got there Matt said ”There’s nothing here sweetheart” “but I heard something” Carrie replied. Carrie told her father to be quiet. She felt something slithering on her foot and she jump with fright. Her father had flashed the light to see it was only a tree vine.

She snatched the light and flashed it behind herself. A loud GASP came from her as she found an old tree that was grown into the shape of a man. When she turned back around her father had disappeared. Before she knew it she was being drag closer and closer to the tree. Luckily she still had the flashlight. She shined the light on the thing and caught a glimpse of what looked like a living vine.

Carrie had no weapon, no clue to where her father was and no idea of what to do, before she knew it she was being pulled inside the tree into an underground tunnel. Carrie thought to herself. She had realized where she was because she remembered it from a dream. The day after her mother disappeared. As they sat there in the dark the a very old woman lurked in the shadows. Carrie was frightened for a while until she saw a shiny silver necklace hanging around the woman's neck.

Carrie and her father quickly got up to introduce themselves but the woman had already known who they were.   Her father quickly realised who she was, Carrie had remembered her from her mother's funeral “Aunt Adeline” said Carrie as she rushed to hug her. “Why are you here” commented her father. “I have been guarding the tree of knowledge it is in our family’s honour to protect it”.

“Who was screaming” said Carrie. “It was me” replied Aunt Adeline. She had to get Carrie to come over to the tree so that she could start teaching her about her family’s past. The reason Aunt Adeline stayed here was because of Diana, Carrie's mother. When a guardian dies another is born. Rosie was the next in line.

Over the years Carrie grew and fought off time keepers, Speedsters, monsters and a lot more all to protect the Tree of Knowledge. Until her Aunt died she knew it was time to find her younger cousin Yvonne. It was her turn to train a younger family member, so that the family commitment would carry on for years.

Clown Cake

It was pouring that night at old Mcgee’s farm, Rosie ( the farmer's daughter ) went outside into the barn to check on the pigs when suddenly she heard sounds coming from upstairs. She quickly ran back inside to tell her father James (Mr Mcgee) that she had heard suspicious sounds from upstairs in the barn.

So Rosie and her father James went to the barn with a flashlight but when they got there, there was nothing. “There’s nothing here sweetheart” said her father “but I heard something” Rosie said back to him. Rosie told her father to be quiet because she had heard the sound again, but this time it sounded like it was coming from behind her.

She flashed the light behind her and there was nothing to be seen but as she turned around to see her father gone something had grabbed her arm. Before she knew it she was being drag out of the barn and into the house. Luckily she still had the flashlight. She shined the light on the thing and caught a glimpse of what looked like a hideous clown.

Rosie had no weapon no clue to where her father was and no idea of what to do, until she crabbed her flashlight firmly and threw it at the clowns face but when the hideous clown screamed with pain she had realized it was her father with straw in his hair. When they got inside the house Rosie got an ice pack for her father while her father explained everything.

He told her the the suspicious sound she heard was a secret for her birthday and the reason he had dragged her out was because he did not want her to find out. She had forgotten about her Birthday because of all the commotion. Seeing as it was one in the morning her father decided to give it to her. So out of his jacket he pulled a frightened little puppy.

After she had thanked her father she took her puppy upstairs to dry him of. Then her mother Perri walked into her room with a birthday cake and accidentally dropped it on the floor. Then the puppy ran down and started to eat the cake, so Rosie decided to name him Cake.

History of the Waka

i luminate

Last week on Tuesday an amazing group of dancers called i luminate came to Point England School to perform their incredible light show to us. The three performers names are Lisa, Matt and Danny.

They performed to us in the dark so that we could see the lights clearly, my favourite part of everything was listening to the incredible remix they had made, they played really cool songs like Fancy, Talk Dirty and a lot more hip hop like songs. Everything was amazing from the songs to the choreography

What I was most interested in was what they wore, they wore black pants and jumpers with wires in them that were programmed to flash at certain times. There was a man named Bob who help make the lights work, he sat on the side of the stage doing almost everything behind the scenes.

After they performed the Yr 7 & 8's had a chance to ask them question like where else have they travelled, who is your role model, where do you live what version dab do you like and a lot more. Soon later it was getting close to three o'clock and I had to stand up and say a thank you on behalf of the school. Afterwards I think that there message to us (Point England School) was to dream big and to not give up.

I thought that it was amazing and very well thought out, I was really interested on how their costumes worked.

Yr 8 Leader Ship Camp

Fun activities, delicious food and spending time with friends, is what the year eight students of Point England did on the last week of term one. They went to Marsden Bay for memorable 3 days of Leader Ship camp.

After a very mundane bus trip from Point England School to Marsden Bay we had finally reach our destination. While we unloaded the buses the owner of the camp site and his wife came and introduced themselves to everyone their names are Michael and Gina. The next part of our arrival was to tour the camp site so that we knew where everything was.

Until it started raining, everyone started sprinting because we had forgotten to take our bags inside and by the time we got there almost everything was wet. Then we saw our got into our cabins and put all our gear inside. Next we played our first game which was something like guiding a blind snake, there was a leader in front who guided everyone who had a blindfold on. That wasn't really my favourite game because my team lost.

We had a lot of activities but I have to say my favourite was the water slide because it was really fun and all of my friends had fun as well. To make our selves go faster on the water slide we had to use a bar of soap my team used about three bars of soap and nearly two bottles of shampoo. Some of us had made a human chain which made us go even faster.

My second favourite would have been going on the kayaks, the only stink thing was that it was really cold. We went under bridges and had a backwards race where the winner would get an extra serving of dessert, I won so I got the extra dessert. After that my friends Promise, Taunese and I had tipped Miss Berry's kayak over and next thing she new was that she was cold, wet and swimming in the pond.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is all the FOOD we had cereal, toast and Milo for breakfast, cookies, fruit and a drink of water for lunch and for dinner we had delicious butter chicken with rice. My favourite would have to be the lasagne it was nice and cheesy with yummy hot mince and pasta. For dessert we had Ice cream with wafers and peaches and chocolate mouse.

Camp was really fun it was probably the best camp I've been to and I wish I could go again.

Book Review

Immerion Assembly

On the first day of term 2 Point England school had an Immersion Assembly where teachers from all teams presented what they are learning about for the rest of the term.

During the assembly I found out that the funny team one kids are going to be learning about their favourite things and how it can be turned into art. Miss George and the other team one teachers, Miss Wild, Miss Peck, Miss Lal and Miss Dwyer had made a movie of their favourite things and had a quiz at the end, it showed who was paying attention. The prize was a mini size Whittakers chocolate.

The next item was team 2 and they are learning about the different seasons and the amazing colours that come with them, like how Winter has a sparkly blue and white colour when it comes and how autumn has a darker colour like brown, red and maroon, I would probably call them warm colours. So the team 2 teachers (Mrs Nalder, Miss Tumahai, Miss Eadie and Miss Szymanik) and their students will be learning about what colours come with which season.

Then it was team 3's turn and they had made another movie but this time it was about Grand Designs. Mr Blakey was the host and all the other teacher's in team 3 acted in the movie as well. The movie was about how 4 people who shared the same dream found each other on Facebook and decided to make their dream a reality. Their dream was to find the best location so that they could build their DREAM HOUSE. That's when I found out that team 3 students are learning about architectural designs and graphs.

An extra video was made by the team four teachers and it was so funny. There video was about made up superheros and an evil villain named Bear Baxendine who loves stealing chromebooks and how one day he decided to steal Bobby Johns chromebook but was stop by Bat Guy, Wondering  Women and Team Leader America. Team 4 are focusing on comic books and how comics come with more pictures than words.

Finally, I  saved the best for last the incredibly talented team 5 teacher's had choreographed a play about Point England’s team houses and what each waka’s true meaning is , Hine Moana is the Lady of the Sea, Te Aurere is the blood, sweat and tears, Hokule'a is the growing earth and Hikianalia is rising up into the guiding constellation of the stars. I thought the play was amazing.

This term our focus is the different colours that come with the waka’s and the design I can't wait until we start creating things

2015 Reflection

This year I was in room 2 with the amazing Miss Clark and it was really fun. The most satisfying thing for me this year was hanging out with all my friends and the most difficult thing was completing my school work, but overall I would rate myself a nine why because I'm awesome.

The way I contributed to team 5 is that I bought a 2 dollar sausage sizzle that went to the year 8 camp. If I were to change anything about me I’d change nothing  because I'm awesome. Two things I’d want my 2016 teacher to know about me is that I am struggling in maths and that I love art.

Maths is the where I struggle so it is probably the subject I need help in and to help him or her see that I would show them how much more literacy task there are on my blog than maths but they should already know that.  The best thing that has happened to me all year is how I keep finding money on the playground.

This year was incredible and I can’t wait to be year eight. Hopefully we get to go on amazing trips like how we went to Polyfest and Rainbows End it was really fun.

Term 4 Immersion Assembly

As I opened the door to see my classmates deciding where they were going to sit for the next 10 weeks, the second school bell rang and suddenly everybody rushed into the street for the mihimihi and karakia.

After that all the students from Point England gathered inside the hall to learn what our topic was for term 4. All the teachers dressed up and had to perform an act of some kind that was related to our topic. This term topic is PES Survivors, we are learning how to adapt to our surroundings so that we can survive on planet earth.

Team 1 are sang karaoke and are going to the zoo to learn how the animal life now adapt in the zoo. Team 2 are learning about dinosaurs and how they didn’t learn to adapt and if it was the reason for their extinction, and team 3 are creating different kinds of dinosaurs.

The year 5 and 6 which is team 4 are learning about the different kinds of habitats and last but not least team 5 are learning about adaptation and how some people from different countries learn to adapt to survive in different places and climates.

My favourite part was when the team 5 teachers had an chopstick competition. It was funny when the teachers were complaining about Asia’s win, they thought it was unfair because in their country they don’t use chopsticks, or as they say, wooden sticks. Another funny part was when miss Peato complained and said that if there were some island food then she would have one.

My second favourite was when miss King and the team 3 teachers or in other words the team 3 disco dino’s dressed in a lot of colourful clothing and had some weird names. Miss King’s dinosaur name was Bosserapter, and mr Moran was called the muscle-osaurus, there were a lot of funny names and really cool acts but I can’t decide which was the best because they were all amazing.

I think that this terms topic is really cool and interesting, I can’t wait to learn more about this fun topic. Hopefully everyone else likes it as well.
