My Learning

This is my learning about what we we liked about all the subjects. We also had to share this at interviews yesterday.

Something I enjoyed was I got a chance to share my learning with my family.
Something I want to learn is to sit still and improve my reading.
Something I am proud of is my turbulence writing because it is a great descriptive piece of writing.
Something I was happy about was that I got share my learning with my family.

Fortune Favours The Bold

Mr Browns December Precept. Precept from the book Wonder!

Yay! I cant wait to see Mum, Pippi and Oscar and guess what, we were going on the hobbit plane. But then I am sad because I am leaving London. Excitedly Dad and I boarded the plane first passenger on. My seat was so comfy. It took forever to take off because there was so many planes that wanted to take off and land it must of took at least 20 minutes. Broom! Broom! we speed off down the runway and into the air, take off must be my worst part. Then my ears popped! Once we were at our altitude we were going to fly at. The safety video came on and interrupted my movie, I was watching. Dad offered to put my seat back into a bed but I said no because I won’t be able to sleep and I found it uncomfy. I went to sleep in a flash, soon enough I was awake.

I woke suddenly to find that the plane was shaking it was so scary I tried not to cry it was so hard not to it was like the plane was going to crash. I was shaking all over, I kept tapping dads leg till he woke up. The pilot said that the stewarts and hostesses have to take their seats. That was a good choice because they would off just kept falling over. Every little bump we must have been falling 3 metres and then regained. Dad was scared deep down but he did not show it. This happened for 20 nonstop scary minutes. Lucky enough we were flying over Greenland, at least we were on land. In the middle it stopped for about 2 minutes then I tried to get back to sleep but then there was a massive bump and I jumped. Then it continued it was like it was going to crash and at last the pilots said that the flight crew could get up and walk around.

When it was all over I was so glad and so happy the plane did not crash. Kindly a hostess came over to me and asked if I was alright but she also said that was the worst turbulence she had had in three years her whole flight crew experience, thats how bad it was. That made me feel even more scared. That I have witnessed very very bad turbulence. My dad told the hostess that he is not going to be able to get on the next plane from LA to Auckland. Basically I did not sleep a wink the rest of the flight, I might of dozed off for a little while and then woke up with a jump. Overall I was happy that I choose to keep my seat up. Across the aisle from me was the prime minister of Samoa throughout the whole turbulence he did not move a muscle.

What good came out of the flight, that the plane did not crash. Also I had to trust the pilots and lucky enough it paid off. I am proud that I got through it without crying but I was whimpering, quite loudly.

Space padlet

Created with Padlet
This is my space padlet for my homework. We are learning about space and here is some awesome facts about the stars 

Aliens Exist

Aliens Exist / Aliens Don’t Exist

I believe that aliens exist because there are 1.8 billion planets out there. There is a high chance that there will be at least one because there are so many planets. Our galaxy is so big there could be heaps out there rather than one with living things on them.

First of all, I know in 1969 there was sighting from the first spacecraft of a L-shaped thing fly alongside there spacecraft. The first people to see this were the first people also on the moon, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin.

Second of all, I think they don’t want to come here because they have seen our weapons and  they don't want to get killed. I think that is sensible because I would not want to come to another planet and want to killed. But that is just my opinion.  

Third of all, Why would people put aliens in movies if they were not real? We would not even know about them. That means if they are in movies someone must have seen one.

I think they exist, but a lot of people don’t. This piece of writing is why, I think they are real.

My Sister

This is my poem from ages ago, we had to create a poem about someone in our family. I chose my little sister and that is what my sister is in the poem.

Sunday is pink, all cheery and happy .

Commas Game

On our writing symbaloo we have 5 games to improve our writing skills. I choose the game Going to work with commas. I choose this games becuase I normally just keep putting ands instead of commas. Its not too challenging but I did find it fun. The worst thing about it is that on about the first 3 it tells you where to go and it not as challenging. I give this game 4 stars because it would be 5 if it did not tell me. I reckon this game is based around 7-10 year olds. I think I learnt not to put to many and's in because I have a habit of putting ands and even more ands one after each other for thing to get of do.

Easter Egg Hunt

Maaatilda!!! Stop cheating your not supposed to watch Lou hide the eggs.”I know I know,” I said giggling. Finally my mum entered the room. She told us the rules...

• You are not allowed to take any one. Your one will have your name on it
• So off you go.

I ran to where one was but there were two, even better. One on the tramp. Two on the benches under the tree, that makes 5. So far the Easter Egg Hunt is going great. Curiously I wondered if my mum had put any out on my cousins farm, but I did not think she would.

Honestly I must of have walked past my big easter egg so many times before, I actually found it up a tree. I put down all of my many other easter eggs and started climbing the tree. It was not too high. Unfortunately I got stuck for a bit up the tree because I lost my footing and I became a bit wobbly. So I had to drop my easter egg to the ground I was so scared it would break, but it didn’t. Somehow had to turn around, so I would not be stuck. Despite, the ground shock I was ok I picked up my easter egg and ran out of the bushes.
