If I was an Olympic athlete

Walt: use a plan when writing.

This year it is the sporty and tough Rio 2016 Olympics. I am competing in the high hurdles for NZ. Hurdles is where you sprint on the track then you approach a fence like hurdles that you jump over. I have been training hard and long for 4 yrs and now at the Olympics it will be time for me to pay off all my good training and exercise.

At the Olympics I will be competing in Hurdles. I am competing in hurdles because I like to jump and run. This Olympics I will be fast and strong. I love jumping over hurdles especially I love to jump. I am going to try my best at hurdles because I trained a lot and now it’s going to pay off at the Olympics.

This year in the Olympics I will be representing New Zealand in hurdles. I am representing NZ because that is where I am from and I was born as a nice and strong kiwi. I will win for NZ and I will be a champion. NZ I will win a gold medal for you.

At the Olympic games I think the ceremony will be great and cultural. I will be nervous in hurdles but this event is dedicated to my family and NZ. Once I win and I walk with the NZ flag I will take pride in my competition. I will be happy if I was the winner and I will be grateful of what I have been given.

My thoughts towards Olympics is try your best and train hard. Another thought is remember to just be brave and try your best. But the thing you need to do is be grateful of what you’re actually doing and just be happy. Most of all be proud of yourself and just do your best you don’t always need to win.

Task Description: First I had a plan on how the structure of my story was. Then I had to write a 5 paragraph story about myself being in the Rio 2016 Olympics. Next I had to post it on my blog with a WALT, picture of the Olympic rings,labels,great title and a task description. 

Setting decription

Walt: write a setting description.

Task description: We had to describe 4 settings. We also had vocab to help us describe the settings. We had to then post on our blog and then we are done.

Maori and pacific warrior

Teuila’s heart was pounding as she was being chased by a great white shark. She was exhausted from swimming so hard, but she knew that as a warrior she could do anything to escape situations like this. Teuila had a lifetime ahead of her and she didn’t want to die.

But the problem was that she was swimming far away from her tribal village. She knew she had to escape from the shark but she also knew that she had to get back quickly to her village. She thought that someone could see her but no one had noticed that she was gone.

Suddenly the shark gave up and she swam away.  Teuila spotted an island in the distance. Limping out of the water she noticed that she had a very bad cut on her leg. She found two sticks and used them as walking sticks.

After what seemed like a long time, Teuila found a little hut in a small village. She barged in and looked for someone to help her. An old lady said “Hello are you ok?” “No I have hurt my leg badly and I need to fix it” said Teuila. “Oh sure I can help you” said the old lady as she helped Teuila. After a long time it was starting to get dark. The old lady said “Oh no there is a storm about to hit”. “What? No! There can’t be! I have to get home!” Teuila said.

“Go to sleep and we will get you home tomorrow” said the old lady. The next morning Teuila woke up to a village that looked like it had been destroyed. “Oh my goodness that storm must of been big” said Teuila. The old lady said “Yes, yes it was”. Suddenly the old lady said that her grandson had a boat, and that he could take her home. “Why thank you. Now I can see my family again” said Teuila gratefully.

“TEUILA where were you?” said Teuila’s mum. “Sorry mum it’s a long story”. “I’m so happy that I’m back” Teuila said. She explained how she had been chased by a shark, getting lost and then surviving a storm. Her family were so relieved to hear that she was ok. That night, Teuila’s family made a huge feast to welcome her back. Then they lived happily ever after.

Avengers Assemble!

Walt: write a narrative that is descriptive (paints a picture in the reader's mind)

“There is a robbery” said Hawkeye. “Avengers Assemble” said Captain America. So there went the Avengers to save the day, suddenly they caught Ultron trying to steal  weapons. “Stop right there Ultron” said Thor. “Well well well look who it is the avengers” said Ultron.

Ultron commanded the avengers to leave, they denied Ultron. Suddenly Ultron called his duplicated robots to come and protect him from the avengers, the avengers were very bus fighting Ultron. Suddenly Scarlet and Quicksilver came to help Ultron. “Hello catch me if you can” said Quicksilver.

Suddenly Ultron left with Scarlet and Quicksilver. “Let’s go and make some potion” said Ultron.

Then Ultron got to the avengers HQ (Headquarters) and commanded to let him in the lab. “No” said

security.

“Ok let’s do it the hard way” said Ultron “BOOM” went the security to the wall. “Let me in” commanded Ultron,”ok”said the security. Then Ultron got in the lab and smashed the nurse to the ground and used her as the test. “It works” said Ultron. Suddenly the avenger came and Ultron was leaving. “He got away” said Hawkeye

Then they found Ultron in the truck with the nurse. “Black widow get in there” said Captain America “BANG” flew Black widow on the truck. Suddenly Scarlet came and put Black widow in a sleep of memories. “Man down man down” said Thor. “Hulk get in there” said Thor. Suddenly Hulk smashed open the door and threw ultron out. Then he smashed Quicksilver and Scarlet. But Black widow was still asleep.

Then Ultron went back to his lair and put the potion it the machine. “No he did it” said Captain America. We have to fight him and and destroy the machine, Ultron was in the city watching everyone. “Ultron destroy the machine” said Captain America. “Avengers assemble”. Then Scarlet and Quicksilver joined the avengers,”what” said Ultron. “We had enough” said Scarlet and Quicksilver.

Suddenly the Avenger fighted for the World and destroyed the machine. “NO” said Ultron. The avengers destroyed the machine and the world went back to how it was. Then Scarlet pulled out Ultrons heart because he was knocked out. “Good job avengers you two Quicksilver and Scarlet. Suddenly one of the duplicates shot Quicksilver “NO” said Scarlet, the hawkeye shot the Ultron. THE END!!!

Immersion assembly

WALT: recount an event.

Have you ever learnt about comic books in your class before? Well this term team 4 is learning about comic books, we are going to be learning how to making our own comic books as well. I am really excited to be learning about comics books.

This term our school topic is “as i see it”, and it is about art. Team 1 is going to be drawing their favorite things. Other teams are doing other things like seasons, Architecture and waka races. I am looking forward to seeing what other teams are doing this term.

In team 4s movie they acted out our topic which is ka-pow. They were like the avengers saving people but their movie was a comic book movie, because this term we are going to be creating our own comic books. This term team 4s topic is about creating comic books and stories with sequential art. We have to make comic books about superheroes that is why the teachers acted like superheroes in the comic book movie.

This term topic I want to create my own superhero to put in my own comic book. I hope we can read superhero comic books to give us ideas for our own comic book. I hope we can learn to do sequential art and put it in our comic books and to learn how to read comic books. But most of all I want ot make a movie about superheroes in a comic book like what the teachers did for the team 4 movie.

This term I think it’s going to be fun since team 4 is going to creating our own comic books. Overall this term has been really cool and I can’t wait until we make our own comic book.



Task Description:I had to write 5 paragraphs about this term's assembly. Our school topic is as i see it and team 4's topic is ka-pow. this is about team 4's movie.

FiaFia poster

FiaFia 2016

Walt: organise my ideas into paragraphs and link them together.

Have you ever been to a FiaFia before? Pt England school had a FiaFia event on the 7th of April 2016, heaps of people came and watched. I was so excited but nervous as well.

Do you know what FiaFia is? FiaFia is an event when Pt England school performs cultural dances and other dances in front of a huge audience with heaps of family’s watching. We had FiaFia on Thursday the 7th of April 2016. We had FiaFia on the school field of Pt England school. The whole of Pt England school performed in the groups they picked in the group pick.

For FiaFia I was in Tongan girls. Our tutors name is Marianne she is a parent. I picked to go in Tongan girls because I always go in samoan,but I wanted to try something new. We have been practising for about 5-6 weeks,we danced to Fangai Lupe by Spawnbreezie. We wore tapa’i ngatu and in our hair we had the tekii.

My favourite group was the Kapa Haka group. I liked it because it was so good and they all looked nice, My favourite song that they performed was Kapioioi and Utaina because they put in a lot of effort in it. The girls had to wear black tights,a black T-shirt,puepue and a blue cloak. The boys had to wear no T-shirt,blue feathers on their shoulders and a short puepue.

In FiaFia my thoughts were if I looked nice and did I do the right actions but I think I did well. FiaFia is great and sometime when you're free come to FiaFia. I think you should read this story because it is really cool and you will find out heaps of things about FiaFia.

Task Description:

We had to write 5 paragraphs about FiaFia. We had to also explain what FiaFia is so everyone knows what I am talking about. FiaFia is an event where people perform in front of everyone.

Suddenly a big bad hungry wolf came and threatened the 1st pig to let him in,”little pigs little pigs let me in” said the big bad wolf. “Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin” said the 1st pig. Then suddenly the big bad wolf said “I’ll huff I’ll puff and I will blow your house down.

Suddenly the wolf came “little pigs little pigs let me in”, “not by the hair of our chinny chin chins”. “I will huff I'll puff and I will blow your house down”. Then they ran to the 3rd pigs house “let us in let us in”, “ok come in” said the 3rd pig “hurry lock the door” said the 2 pigs. “The big bad wolf is on our back”said the 1st pig.

“little pig little pigs let me in”, ”not by the hair of our chinny chin chins”. “Okay I’ll huff I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down” said the big bad wolf. But the wolf could not blow the house down.

Suddenly the wolf climbed up the chimney. Then the 3rd pig turned his oven, on and the wolf came down and burnt his bottom. “Owwwww” and the wolf popped out of the chimney and never came back ever again.
