Wish it was my birthday

 It was on a Saturday. I was walking through the doorway. I was so glad it wasn't a school day. I thought I was gonna be able to eat but straightaway my cousin pulled up in the driveway. I was surprised when I saw them. I realized it was my cousin birthday. They were shouting at me saying get in the car. I said what wha what ( I was confused ).

 I said to them wait a second. I ran into the house and said see ya. I whizzed to the car. We left and we were on our way to Paknsave. When we arrived one of the little ones were misbehaving. They were fighting over Chocolate (This is where I get blamed). 

 Their mum said wha wha what, what happen over there ( we were at the back seat ). She said straight to me what did you do, I said ayy, it wasn't even me, She was like don't lie, I know you did. I was so mad about it because I didn't even do anything. I pretty much got blamed on for no reason. I said to myself I wish it was done. To be continued

Chocolate Bar

This week we read a story about a goldfish recounting some of his life in a bowl. After we read the story we had to create our own story/recount about an object that we chose. I enjoyed doing this because I got to choose what I was writing as. Next time I will write more paragraphs.

Chocolate Bar

 I am lonely, I´m stuck in this empty pantry. I wishing for friends. Everytime I think of me being lonely I think about the song Lonely. I´ve always wondered what it would be like if I had friends even best friends. In the morning some little creature/ human would come in the deserted pantry and grab a piece of me. At 12:00 I hear thousands/ four of creatures going past the empty pantry so swiftly. I feel my body dissolving. Suddenly at the right time I get moved into the fridge. Here we go again. I see so many weird shaped objects.

 As I am looking around I saw many more weird shaped objects. I start to get freaked out. After a few seconds I calm down. I heard a strange sound coming from far away, I get nervous. Out of nowhere the fridge door unlatched. I was unsure of what was happening. It had been one minute since the fridge door hasn't shut. However there was this huge sausage/hand coming directly at me. I overheard the the creature saying ¨cannot wait to eat dis¨. Finally the fridge door made it to its destination. 

 It was 9pm. I was feeling so friendless. There was no one to speak to no one.. Hold on a minute. I can talk to one of the weird shaped objects. I decide to call them their names. The green one was called cabbaccino, The purple one was called applant. The fridge got me to the point where I was hard as a brick. I decided to ask cabbaccino a question.

Is Graffiti art or just messy

This week my class had to write a debate on if Graffiti is art or just messy. We had to write a persuasive text on our own opinion on if Graffiti is art or just messy. What I enjoyed about this was that I could make my own picture. Something that I could do next is maybe add more colour in my pictures

Is Graffiti art or just messy Graffiti, is it an art or a crime ?. I think that Graffiti is art. To me I think that it is a change for old walkways down the street.

 In my personal opinion I think that Graffiti is art. Art is not just something you paint/draw. It is something that you create that has a special meaning to it. Example, like Banksy´s drawing. What I like most about it is that some of his tell stories. Some people just love to draw/paint and so they decide since there is is blank wall they just persuade their self to go and Graffiti on it. Some people think of Graffiti as tagging, but how I think of it is that it is a colourful mural that is on a blank wall. What I am trying to say I that in each case art has a statement to it. They do this because graffiti been around for ages even better there are places around the world where the graffiti art is legal like France and all other places that are why I strongly believe, Graffiti is art. 

 Secondly I think that Graffiti can be used to vandalize, but at the same time, it can be used for good. Graffiti is not all names, swears, and offensive pictures. Some of the graffiti I have seen have positive messages and sometimes quotations that someone felt was worth sharing. Mostly it is on old house or containers that have just been abandoned. Lots of abandoned home have been graffitied on because no one is there to care about it some creative people come and put wonderful art on it.

Freedom To Work

W.A.L.T.. Use words and pictures to convey our thoughts.
What I enjoyed doing was creating a small kinda quote.
Something I think I could improve on is maybe putting more colour in.

What if we lost petrol forever ?

What if we lost of petrol forever ?

 Have you ever wondered what would happen if the world an out of petrol?. No cars, no planes, not even much transport left. That mean that you can't even go on planes to see family members.

The worst thing is you are going to have to work your damn legs of by riding a bike or scooter. No cars, No planes, No petrol, it just equals nothing. You just won't go far. Going on a plane to see family or friends would be sad cause there is no petrol for the plane to fly from one country to another. But there something else, you would always lose a little bit of weight everywhere you go.

 There are only bikes, scooters, skateboards, and more left that you could only ride. Even when you're in a hurry and you need a Taxi, you just won`t make it in time This also means that if you have a sports game in like town or just somewhere far, you’d have to walk all the way and That wouldn't be that much fun would it?. Not everybody would want to got to the game. This means that all your plastic belongings will no longer exist and will come to the end of existing, this means all your gaming consoles, phones etc.

 Cars have plastic in them and on them how else would we get around. Did you know that a number of car parts are made using recycled plastics. If your car has plastic on the outside you are less likely to get a noticeable dent or a ding also because plastic is lighter than most materials car manufacturers use plastic in a lot of their cars and that’s why today’s average light vehicle contains 332 pounds of plastics , that's 150 Kgs that mean that in a car with a full tank of petrol there would be 432 pounds of petrol in that car alone, can you imagine not having cars around anymore?. Other then that I hope you have enjoyed reading this and that I will try to put more information next time.

Hidden in a cabin

In a cabin

Hidden in a cabin. All alone feeling hopeless.. Hungry, thirsty . Wishing for food. Nowhere to go and no one to care for except his family.
Always looking at the positive side because he missed his family.

In a cabin, sitting all alone, rats falling from the roof top, suddenly there was a creaking noise, there goes the roaring wind. Feeling like his eyes were in a mirror from seeing himself dirt as a pig, , as he breaths the dust flies away, swiftly there were`scary creaking noises and this time it wasn't the wind … it was a giant bear, Immediately the bear started ripping through the door. As the man approaches his sleep he starts to feel the coldness come through the door, there was rain pounding on the roof.

 As he wakes up it is as bright as the beautiful sun and he decides that he should perhaps try to find some sort of food, as he gets up all the dry dirt falls of him and onto the ground. As the guy starts to walk he feels a hole under the rug, he starts to think that there is a tunnel to get out, he starts to get down on his knees and grabs the rug. As he gets up there is a key, not a tunnel, he is thinking that there should be no point of a key, but as he thinks even more he says to himself, this could be a key for the window.

What is Mould ?

Planning 

We have been learning about Mould, and have done an explanation about Mould. I enjoyed doing this because I got to learn more about Mould. Something I did well was planning and something I need to work on is my vocabulary. 

 What is Mould ?

Have you ever wondered how Mould grows?. Well, you have come to the right place. Well in this story you will find out everything about Mould and fungus/fungi. If you want to start learning about it then what are you waiting for start reading.

 Firstly Mould grows from little tiny spores.The spores are just like little seeds. They are used to make things grow. Basically, spores are the babies, except they didn't need a mom and a dad. When a spore lands onto favourable actual estate, it give out a slim hair-like tube called a hypha/hyphae. The hypha produce enzymes that break down to the chosen food. Fungi is any of a group of one or more cells. It is a type of mould that grows on different foods and in damp places. We actually use fungi or fungal products in our everyday life, some of them keep us alive.

It is a type of mould that grows on different foods and in damp places. We actually use fungi or fungal products in our everyday life, some of them keep us alive. Fungi used to be regarded as plants but they are now placed in their own kingdom. They have their own kingdom . They are not a plant or animal either. It starts life as a tiny spores. The fungi grows more and more hyphae within food source. Did you know that Mould is a part of the fungi family. Most fungi reproduce by releasing tiny spores that then germinate (sprout) and grow into a new fungus. The spores are produced by, and released from, a fruiting body that is visible above the ground. Some fungi drop spores, which are blown away by the wind. Others shoot them out in an explosive burst. Have you ever wondered what that grey fuzzy stuff was on your bread, well that was Mould.


 Hyphae grow at their tips. During tip growth Hyphal growth is the feature of a threadlike fungi. From mushrooms to shape, we experience organisms in a wide reach of parts of our lives. Every one of them are made out of modest, full strands called hyphae. It is a long, branching filamentous structure of fungi. Mycelium is commonly found in soils and on other natural matter.

 Moulds can grow everywhere in your house mold growth in your house. You need to fix up the moisture problem, and clean up the mould. Mold are able to remove it by using exit Mould. Moulds can be any types of colours, but the most common ones are, brown, green and also grey or black. Finally Mycelium is the plant part of a fungus, made out of a group of branching,it’s like thread-like hyphae. In most fungi, hyphae are the main mode of plant growth, and are basically called a mycelium.

 In conclusion I think mould is good and play a lot of parts in our life, from poisonous moulds to moulds you eat and use everyday. I also think that you can get it in anywhere at your home e.g bathroom, kitchen.

Under The Rug

Our teacher aide gave us a photo and we have to be as creative as we can, she gave us a story starter and it was two weeks past and it happened again. Something that I enjoyed was that I got to be as creative as I wanted to, something that I could do next time is to put some more effort into this.


Under the rug

 Two weeks past and it happened again. It had been ages since Rudda had been gone, he had gone to go play the ouija board with his mates, they went to a haunted house that was just down the road from them, before they left they searched up about it, it sad that it got abandoned on 2001, 2 of may, he was shocked because that was his birthday. Unexpectedly there was something moving from under the rug, he got terrified, he thought that he friends were just playing with him, but they weren't. After that whole situation Rudda was scared, he told his friends that he wasn't keen on going anymore.


His friends were disappointed because Rudda was the one who wanted to go in the first place, his friends ended decided that they would just leave him behind. On the way out, Rudda said to them ¨ Don't come crying to me if you get in trouble ¨. Once the boys got in the car Rudda slammed the door while they we saying bye ( yes they were saying it happily ). When the were driving it was pitch black, you couldn't even seen any house and trees, it just looked like a field of black grass.

Instantly they had seen that there was something walking on the street, but it just ran away, they saw the house so they parked their car in the driveway. Once they got out of the car it was getting pretty freaky. Once the got to the door there was someone right behind them, it was Rudda, he came to say to them that it's more dangerous that they think, his friends said ¨ How do you know ¨, Rudda said ¨ Because I just watched a video about saying that there is a lady that is haunted by it, they say if she hears you she kills you, So they decided to leave……….

Novel study

In this task we had to write about how our character changed in out novel and how they moved on. There reason why its called novel study is because our teacher made a slideshow on things that we have to complete every week. Something that I enjoyed doing was putting it into my own words and not copying the text. Something that I could do better next time is putting in more Punctuation, I hope you enjoyed reading.


 Black Beauty by Anna Sewell Blakie was a lovely black horse, she had a lovely home with her mother and master, she lived next to some other horses but they always play rough and Blakie’s mum always told her to never be mean and play rough. But she got taken to another farm, she was really sad but after a few day she became happy, she knew that the only thing that will make her mum and master happy is for her to also be happy. Her master and her mother would always come and to see her from the other farm, they would always bring some oats and carrots to feed her.

Family feed

W.A.L.T... use the correct structure for a recount, Something that I enjoyed doing was writing about my holidays, Something I could do next time is maybe to use more punctuation. I hope you can relate to my story have a good time reading.

Family Feed

 In the holidays on a cloudless sunny Friday the sun was out and was shinning on everybody. My loving family decided to have a barbeque. So we gathered most of our family members. We had a big backyard with lots of space. Once I got to my uncle house I noticed that I was the first one that had arrived there. Once I got there, there was a big tent that looked like a house, so I ask my uncle ¨ was is that jumbo tent for ¨ he replied saying ¨ that's where the delicious delectable food is going¨. Straight away I could hear lots of people yelling it was my my crazy cousins, straightaway they ran to the food but my uncle yelled at them cause they weren't supposed to do that, so me and my cousins decided to help bring the rest of the food from in the kitchen and out to the tent, as I was looking at the food I felt like eating it because it looked scrumptious. So after all of that we had to wait on the most delicious one, the pig. When the food was finished it satisfied me and my brother want to eat some, but we knew that we had to wait. Immediately my brother told me that the pig was ready so that meant that we could start eat, so my Aunty said the most loving prayer. Once I got my food I felt as happy as a minion. As I ate my food, I felt like the happiest person ever, it was because the pig was cooked perfectly, it was brown and the skin was so crunchy just like a snickers bar. This day to me meant a lot because some of my cousins came from Australia and I got to at least ask how they have been doing, The food taster wonderful and it was wonderful day. It wasn't just the food but that I could spend a whole day with my family and ask them how they have been.

Freda the dog

One blazing Fresh morning I was off to war, My body felt as solid as a ice cube. I don't want to lose my friends. I was worried that I was gonna lose Freda and will not be able to take her back to Lucy safely. As I was crashing through the thick mud, my ears could hear bombs exploding and bullets going through people. At this point I knew that I would survive because of my goodluck charm, Freda. As I was in the trenches I was shifting and shooting. Each day I was losing my friends, My friends that I won't be able to see again. Every Night I would pray and pray until I couldn't anymore. Finally one quiet morning there were no bombs and no more bullets, Everyone had enough of it. So I packed up and headed home with Freda. Once I got to freda´s home there was a lovely young woman waiting there. Suddenly she came running to me to grab Freda, ¨She said thank you so much¨. I ¨said thanks because I don't know what I could of done without her¨.

Island Locks

Island - Locks

Talofa, my name is Kalysha, I an´t that sure on how people start their stories so ya. One lazy day I was slothful, I suddenly thought that I shall go for a adventurous walk on the beach, the beach was glowing like diamonds. I was so lonely, hungry and I was cold, I decided that I wanted good friends, ones that can understand me well enough. I immediately went into the lovely village, swiftly I saw a lovely house made outta sticks, It looked like it was from the coconut trees. So I decided to go see if there was anyone home, after ten seconds of knocking one one answered, I was so angry that no one answered. So I decided to just help myself, at first I was quite scared because in myself I know it is bad to just go inside someone's house like that, I was just so hungry that I wanted to eat.

Once I got inside the house, I immediately saw the food, so I raced over to the kitchen. When I got the food there was a  Jumbo bowl that had rice in it, I had spoonful of it. But suddenly it came to me that this was gross, I was even terrified to even spit it out. So I look to the side of me and guess what I saw, I saw another bowl of rice, I knew that this one was going to be at least way way better that that other one. So I had a spoonful it was just about the same as the other one. There was one last bowl next to me it was as small as a miniature ball, I was surprised because I have never really seen a bowl that small. I had a spoonful  it was like I was in heaven it had some lovely taste to it.

I felt really drained, so I decided that I shall go upstairs to the bedroom, when I was running up the stairs it was like the was a monster behind me ( but really there wasn't ) I saw a room that had the most luxury beds in it, once I went in the room it was shining with sunlight, it gave a patch of goldness to the room, I went onto the bed and it felt like I was on  a marshmallow.
