School holidays

The school holidays is very fun because we get to hang out with our families and take a day of from school. Next year we willhave a new fresh start back at school because we will be seeing new faces joining us from parts of countries. But I think we are all having a blast including our teachers and helpers as well because we count on them to lead the way for us to them what we know. So have a great holiday and merry Christmas to you all who are gone on there hidays be safe and remember to come back to school safe as well, and good bye Point England see you next year

Lake of the dead 6 Person

guf  Personal response: Values/Beliefs

Authors often construct texts to encourage readers to reflect on their own values and beliefs. Consider the values and beliefs embedded in Lake of the Dead and the effect these have had on you.

Value/belief embedded in the text

How the author’s values/beliefs reflected/challenged my own values/beliefs

Mt Darius has things that catches people’s eyes because of the things that live their. Teenagers always like to do something really crazy like travel all the way to Mt Darius with only a little bit of supplies. Mt Darius can be very difficult to find in very different ways because the weather over there is very mysterious  from some kind of fog or rain. The 2 survivors that still lived  had made an effort to try to get out of Mt Darius to try live their lives before they expire inst what had happened to their friends.

If our were on that journey I would turn back like what that other was trying to do because it looks like a difficult. My values reflected on the part when they were trying to climb down the tree to the bottom because I didn’t know how to tie a bowline until know. How did they attempt to find there way out because Mt Darius is a big place made out of many wonders. My wonders will be about the place it sounds like that it was beautiful but until the volcano erupted and everything turned black.

Today's work is about lake of the dead because it helps know about adventures and discoveries for younger kids to know and learn at the same time.

This is our blog post for today in room 1 for Mrs Moalas math class for all of our docs.

Reader Bias: Lake of the Dead

Readers have personal opinions and feelings (bias) that influence the way they interpret a story. Record your interpretation of characters, situations and events in the text and describe how personal bias affected

Characters/situations/events

• The characters of the story is Greer,Vinnie,Carlos,Tom and Matt.
• The event was about them going on a big journey to Mt Darius but only 2 of them make it out alive.
• The situation was that they starved for 48 hours and had to eat a dear that was lying dead in a valley of smoke.
• Some other events were,as they try to survive they bury an old man because they didn’t want to leave lying around.
• I love the fact that this story tells us about 2 brave teenagers surviving for their lives to get away from the volcano
• That their friends get buried under the rocks but they journeyed this far from home. Were the 2 friends that survived get along so well because didn’t sound like they were getting along very well.

My Interpretation

•  My Interpretation is how old were they because this story sounds more like a teens story. 
• It was so sad that the characters died from a big volcano that spread lava out of nowhere and suddenly the ground starts to shake as well.
• Why do they really have to go to see Mt Darius for they already knew that there was a big volcano that erupted for over a few years back.
• Mt Darius is a mountain that has creepy things that stay and live there, but one of them is called a serpent and   it lives inside a lake that is called the lake of the dead.
• The characters in this was brave enough to go on a journey to Mt Darius but they die but it was so sad just watch them lose their  lives.
• I thought that Mt Darius didn’t even exist because people haven’t talked about it much but now it’s becoming a legend.

How personal bias affected my interpretation

• How there were like heaps of girls with the boys but they all die but except for one girl.
•     The way how Greer  was trying to get the meat out of that dear but if that were me I would cut it crucet like his one.
•     I think that the volcano that lives on Mt Darius is the first volcano that ever lived since we weren’t born yet.
• How far is Mt Darius from New Zealand because the volcano that lives on Mt Darius is really suspicious.
• Is Mt Darius a dangerous place, their are mysterious things  

•  Was it really beautiful on Mt Darius because it sounds really nice just listening to them say it.

Recount








Your Task: Recount your time at Rainbow’s End or the Year 8 Activity Day. What did you enjoy? What was something funny or weird that occurred?

Ratio and Proportions

This week we are learning on our ratio and proportion

Teddy Town/Ratio and Proportions

We are learning about teddy town and probabilitys 

The Lake Of The Dead

This week we are working on a post that is about a chapter book that we are doing in our Literacy class with our teacher Mrs Moala. But this is to explain all about the chapter book because it is giving an exsample about it.

Tracking my learning stage 2

This is today's post that we did but we have been working on this to show people what we know about DNA becauyse we study very hard to get things done properly.

DNA

This week in room 1 we are working on a post that includes our DNA but we are doing this with our teacher Mrs Moala. We are going to be doing another post.

Narrative Planning


Once upon a time there lived a man named Jack Sparrow he was the one who brought all the nations together, then they discovered that he stole a souvenir from the highest general ship.They realised that Jack Sparrow was too good for them to catch, so  they gave up on him and turned back never to return for him as he sails. The time had come for the amazing Jack Sparrow and his crew to set across the seas and find the air that lives to tell the tale. The young air was as grateful as Jack Sparrow but his words weren’t as great as as the young man, the young man felt love and joyful places that he comes across, until the young man saw the love of his life standing right in front of him.He kindly asked where she was heading she told him that she is going to an island where nobody knows. But Sparrow caught him before he could even see who it was but it was too late because they had already left, the young man was exhausted to see Jack Sparrow's face, his heart pumping his eyes grew even more frightened. As they sailed away  Jack had heard a big thrash coming from behind them and he noticed it was the black riders, their  face angry as a person would try getting there hands on someone and that someone would be Jack Sparrow. The young man asked if he could help but Jack wouldn’t accept the offer because it was his job and serve and protect for his life but he didn’t listen so he went and fought with them until the black riders would sink  down all the way to the bottom of the entire Ocean of Spain. The young man thanked Jack for his offer to protect him but this time he had accepted the kind speech that the young man had, Jack asked for a named and the young man said it was Ronin. So they went to a land where nobody knows and there they felt love and happiness with people that are there with them. Ronin saw the girl that he met earlier in begging so at last there they in the land that makes them happy with each other even Jack Sparrow and the crew on board.

Narrative Writing

 Jack Sparrow in Fairytale Land

Once upon a time there lived Jack Sparrow, his crew, the young man Jack and the witch in fairytale land. One day Jack Sparrow and his crew set off to find the witch, the young man Jack heard them talking about a witch so he went after them. The witch felt a strange magic coming her way so she knew that someone was coming for her so she prepared herself, when Jack Sparrow and his men got to fairytale land they went searching for her. The young man kept track of them to see what they were up to, he followed them ride up until they got to the mountains that’s when he saw a house floating on the bridge so he knew that was the witch’s cottage,Jack Sparrow and the crew were already there but they were knocking on the door but no one answered. Until they saw the witch coming back from the mountains, started asking some questions but the guardians wouldn’t let her saw a word. Sparrow gave her one last chance but she blew it so Jack Sparrow and his men killed her guardians, so the young man Jack had enough of them fooling around with the witch so he went down the hill to the cottage with bravery. He walked straight up to them and he said’’ leave her alone but they didn’t listen then the second time he said it he started fighting them until they got up to the point where Sparrow’s men gave up and ran. But Sparrow never gave up so the young man Jack said never come back to fairytale land so then he gave  Sparrow a warning. 

The witch thanked him for helping her out because she knew they would come for her, but he wouldn’t let them hurt her. So he gave her a promise that he would always check up on her every month, he said that as he was walking back up the mountain and down to the sea and back to his boat. The young man had been very brave and king to help out that witch because he cares for his own people suffering from Jack Sparrow and his crew does, but he mainly goes on journeys across the seas and journeys to the islands that hasn’t been discovered. So off he went   back on his journey to who knows where but the legend says beware wherever you go, you show see some unexpected things that nobody knows. 

But Jack Sparrow continued going around and looking for some loot that he and his crew have in mind, the thing is that the young man Jack has already set off to continue what he had started. So now that is leaving Jack Sparrow and his men i until Jack returns, Sparrow lightened up with joy and started feeling really excited that the young man Jack had left. But that is the very end of my made up story and thanks for reading my story.

Genomics

This is a post about DNA for ginomics because this shiows what we have been for the past terms and weeks of school. This is all what I have done to show my teacher.

Narrative writing plan

This term we are working on a narrative writing that we did for our test. But we finished it to show what we can do, but I am going to post another one but it's going to be the real narrative.
