Magic carpet ride

The boy lean't to his left and swooped around another corner. He never felt more alive than when he was on his magic carpet.

Finding a straight stretch of road he urged the carpet to top speed, sending plumes of dust from the ground all around him. He quickly approached a woman dressed in black carrying a bowl of fruit.

The dusty golden bowl contained red juicy apples, green luxurious pears, brightly coloured oranges, and bananas as yellow as the sun. He swooped in and quickly grabbed a red juicy apple, racing away so he wouldn’t get into any trouble.

He could only hear the stones rattling on the ground. When he looked back he could only see plumes and plumes of dust in the air. He went up high in the sky and spied the lady swiping the plumes of dust away from her face.

“GET BACK HERE YOU SCUMBAG!!!!” She yelled angrily.

When the clouds of dust vanished she could see only a silent town.

Room 1 has been doing pobble 365 (magic carpet) all week.

What I found exciting.

What I found challenging. 

Was spelling the descriptive words.

Tiddalick

 Yesterday we did Tiddalick the frog and we had to find all of the who's, what's, when's, where's and why's/how's

The most easiest thing out of all of this was drawing the picture.

The most hardest thing in my opinion is finding the when's and where's.

What I might do next time is I might work with a buddy. 

Today room 1 had Te Reo in the morning and we learned how to say all of these words in maori. Milk, Sugar, Butter and Cookie.

What I found enjoyable was finding the pictures.

What I found challenging was saying the words at first. But now I got the hang of it.

What I might do next time is work with a buddy.

UFO identified as cow "What is that" I whispered to myself. I silently crept down the stairs so my parents can't hear. I went outside then ran to the shape of a UFO. It started to come down I was getting worried. It kept coming then it landed. I was relieved. It was a cow!. I was impressed, a cow can jump that high it went so high it went over the moon. So I went  back home and went to sleep. When i woke up I went outside and everything was back to normal.

Is it OK to climb trees?

Is it ok to climb trees?

WALT: write our opinion about [is it it OK to climb trees?]

I advise people to not climb trees.

First of all you will fall and get hurt.

You might be climbing a tree and the branch can’t hold you because of your weight and you will come tumbling down and next thing you know you will get hurt.

Second of all you will disturb the animals habitats.

You might make lots of noise with your friends and it will disturb the animals such as birds, bees, spiders and others.

Last of all you will ruin the surroundings and nature.

You might ruin the branches and the leaves as you climb because it will be shaking and the leaves fall off because of you and you will be reaching to hold on.

And that's why I advise people not to climb trees.

Should kids have a TV in their bedroom?

WALT:write our opinion

I'm confident kids are not allowed a TV in their bedroom.

Kids should not be allowed a TV in their room because they might miss a day of school

First of all, you might stay up long at night watching or playing on the TV and you will get tired and sleep in and possibly miss school.

Next you might get light headed. 
Because you have been staring at the TV for too long. Then you won't feel well.

Finally you might have an argument about what game to play.
You and your friend will have an argument and your friendship possibly break and you won't be friends.

In conclusion I strongly believe that kids should not have a TV in their bedroom. 

Holidays

On the Holidays at my other Nan's house with my wonderful Cousins there too.

Firstly my Nan, my two sisters and me, went to  drop me off at my  Nans place so she can have a cuppa and a little talk because we haven't seen them in a long time.My Cousins and I went into their bedroom, started playing the Xbox one black ops 3. 
Then we went online and we were nearly prestige 3 but his brother got there before him. When he went to his mums Te Rerenga and I played the game nonstop to get past him we nearly did but my Nan came in sadly my Greatnana died so my holiday got cut short and my uncle, aunt and cousins came for a week.
Finally we got to the Marae we had to stay at my aunts house. One of my sisters had to go home early to Waima.

I didn't like my holidays because my Greatnana died.
