Death And The Three Brothers

Woosh, as the wind blew, there were three brothers. The three brothers were slowly walking down a scary, dark, horrifying road. It was just after 11 o'clock at night so it was scarier. Anxiously they came across a rushing river there was no bridge and they wanted to go over to the other side so all of the three brothers used their powers of their wands to make a bridge. They were walking over the bridge then a dark shadow appeared it was Death. Ocanally Death congratulated the three brothers because they had made a bridge like no other wizards did. With one wish each the first brother demanded for the most powerful crystle ever so Death pulled the crystle out of his sleeve and gave it to the oldest brother. The second brother asked for a stone to bring people back to life and heal them so Death gotta normal stone and took some of the power off his crown and put it on the stone. The youngest brother was what I call the smartest brother because he asked for an invisibility cloak. The first brother took the crystal and killed lots of peoples animals, while the oldest brother was asleep the king told his guards to go and kill him. So the guards went to his house and slit his throat and threw him in a pit. Death came and dug him out and took him as his own. The second brother asked for a stone to bring his loved ones back to life. The second brother went To his house and brought his wife back to life But his wife was sad and lonely and Didn't feel like she should be in the world. So the second brother killed himself because he was so sad but also to be up in heaven with his wife again. The youngest brother asked for an invisibility cloak so death couldn't follow him. For years Death searched for a long time but could not find him. One day the youngest brother came to death. The youngest brother called death an old friend and the youngest brother gave his invisibility cloak to his son and the youngest brother went with death up to heaven.

chinese language week 2019

Enviro day

On Thursday, my school had an enviro day. We had an enviro day because we were going for our silver so each of the classrooms got tested to try and go for our silver.We had a welcome for Kauri and her friend Kirsty. Some of the songs were Kawaita, Hallelujah and some other songs they were like harmony to my ears. The boys did the haka. After the welcome we went back to class and did arts and crafts for the whole day. We had to bring in single use plastic and other things we did not need like disks, egg cartons and more stuff. What I made was a plastic bottle vase that I put my board bean into. My plastic bottle vase was sort of shaped like puppycorn and my friend Mya’s was shaped and painted like unikitty. Once you finish your bottle vase then you need to put fresh soil, make a little hole in the middle of the soil then put your board bean in the hole and cover the board bean with some more cold like soil. Then after lunch we made maori kites. We made the kites out of Toi Toi I only made my kite halfway through because we had to stop and pack up. I took my bottle vase home. Then we got green gold. The next day I was not at school so I could not finish my kite which was a bit sad but at least I could water my board bean and let it grow.

A Bee

A bee is a living insect. It is part of the Hymenoptera or the Apidae family. The Hymenoptera family includes sawflies,wasps,bees and ants. The Apidea family are many different winged wasps and bees.


Bees have three basic parts of their body the head,thorax and the abdomen. When a bee stings you their organs come out. To get the stinger to come out use a credit card or use your finger nail and just scrape along the skin. Don't try and pinch or use tweezers to get it out because it will just pump more venom into your blood. The bee will die after a while. Most honey is sweet like manuka honey and their is hard honey like whipped honey. (Top tip the bee is smarter than the average human and bees beat their wings 230 times per second).


Bees live all over the world and in warm places. In the spring and summer bees pollinate flowers and in the winter they stay in the hive because it's so cold outside. The most common place for a bee to live is in a beehive. The normal beehives have frames. The frames have the honeycomb. The honeycombs have the honey. The honeycomb is made out of beeswax.


Bees can be very dangerous if you harm the bee it can sting you this is the bee’s defence mechanism, so you need to be careful. A bee can make a buzzing sound when its flying. Why do bees have black and yellow stripes you may ask? Well the black and yellow stripes is the caution sign so when you are close to a bee and its tail starts shaking that means that you should back away.

What's in a flower

Today and yesterday we were learning about the parts of a flower and what's in the normal flower you normally see every day. this is what's in a flower.

   

Should st mary's fundraise for a pool?

I think that St Mary's should fundraise for a pool so we can cool down in the summer. Don't you think we need a pool? I will explain that we can't cool down in the summer, why we should have swimming lessons and that we have to walk through an oozy swamp to go to Enterprise. This is why we should fundraise for a school pool and you can not argue with the fact that we need one.


The first reason why we should have a school pool is because it gets so hot in the summer and there is no way to cool down. As evidence all of the kids run around on the playground and get so hot. There is no doubt about it that we need to cool down.


Secondly, we should have a school pool for swimming lessons for the little kids as well as water safety which is very important. As our region is Gisborne we are surrounded by water and if a little kid or even an adult falls into one of our rivers and doesn't know how to swim they could drown. They could drift off through the water and they might not get out, so we should definitely know and learn how to swim.


Lastly I think St Mary’s should have a school pool because to get to Enterprise swimming pool we have to walk through a stinky, muddy, oozy swamp which is very gross and it's sort of a long walk to get to Enterprise. The amount of time it takes to get to Enterprise is about 4-5 minutes to get there which takes more time out of swimming lessons and the fun out of swimming.


Through this piece of writing I have shared three reasons why we can't cool down in the summer, why we should have swimming lessons and why we have to walk through an oozy swamp to go to Enterprise.

Jorjas birthday party

Broom broom!  My mum's car turned up at the gymnasium for Jorja’s Birthday party. Jorja and I  where so excited. at the same time straight away we said “let's go inside”. Then we ran inside took off our  shoes and slipped them in the cubby holes. Soon after we went straight onto the equipment. First we went on a swinging bar. Once you have had a couple of swings you would jump off and land on a big fat mat. Soon lots of people turn up like Charlotte, the twins, Manvi  and more people came. Soon after it was time for lunch. For lunch had lots of food. A little while later we played hide and seek for an hour and a half, on the last round you would not believe where I hid. “Ruby where are you” said Manvi and Cody.” I think I won I whispered  to myself silently. Then I crawled out from my hiding spot. 

Removing background

Today I learnt how to remove the background from a photo. 

I really liked changing a photo because we got to choose our background.

I found it hard to take a photo because I tried to take a photo jumping.

Next time I would get a better trampoline background.

Honey Bee Enquiry

Since monday we have been learning about honey bees. The anatomy of a honey bee is its body parts. Some parts of the body are the head,claw, compound eye, stinger, and other body parts too. Top tip honey bees actually have 4 wings 2 big wings at the front and 2 small wings behind the big ones.

       

Sleepover With Charlotte

On Saturday Charlotte came over to my house for a sleepover it was so fun. I was playing netball with Charlotte. Alex and Jordan and Genevieve we're watching. We did not have much players so Genevieve played first quarter then India played for the rest of the game. At the end of the game we scored at the last 10 seconds then when the time went out we won by 1. And we went to charlottes car and got her stuff and got into my car and went to my house. When we got to my house we played toilet trouble. After we play the toilet trouble we went into my living room and watched some YouTube for about 2 hours. Then we got bored so we ask my mum if we could go up the hill and see the lambs. When we got back it was night-time. After dinner we watched some more youtube. For dessert we had hokey pokey ice cream. Next my uncle brought his dog up to my house because he is moving into a new house.

Game night

First You spend the toilet paper then after a few rounds it will spray you in the face. After that we played mini Monopoly but it took ages. We played it for one hour then I had to go to bed so we packed it all up.

Enchanted Forest Writing

It was a nice, calm day in the Enchanted Forest. Swoosh! An owl swooped down from the mint green trees. Then there was a voice. It came from an owl. “Hello.” Said the owl in a tweeting voice. “Welcome to the Enchanted Forest. My name is Owl and I am a barn owl and this is Lizard, my best friend. He is a purple lizard with green spots on her but she is not poisonous. My owner is only 8 years old but she is very talented.”Owl heard footsteps on the crunchy orange leaves with a hint of red in them. She turned around and all she saw was lizard. Lizard and owl looked up. A net was falling on to them. “Haha got you.”Said a man hiding behind a tree. He was doing a happy dance and took them out of the net and put them in a cage. The man put them in the backseat of a truck and he drove off but owl and lizard could not see where they were going. Finally they came to their destination it looks like a garage. The man opened the back door of the truck then took the cage out of the truck. He put owl in a big cage and lizard got put in a fish tank with no water in it. The tank only had a few rocks in it but now it's a lizard tank. “How are we going to get out of here.” said lizard Suddenly the door opened it was a girl. She looked like a 12 year old girl. She had the keys. She tried to open the door on the cage but it was the wrong key so she got a screwdriver and opened the cage and the lizard tank. Now the owl flew into the living room where the man was and pooped on his head. He glided back into the garage, got lizard and flew out of the garage.“Bye.” Said the girl.And they flew back to the Enchanted Forest. “I hope that man learnt his lesson not to take animals from the forest.”Owl said to Lizard.“Yes.” Lizard replied. So they flew back to the soft mint green trees and sat there like they did in the beginning.
