100WC Week 9

This week our 100WC is: 
Things to consider:

• Why would you be put in this cell?
• How does it feel to be locked up?
• Is it possible to escape? Could you think of a plan?
• What is special about Alcatraz?

And this is a picture that came with our prompt:

Finally I'm awake, I feel dizzy, I must of passed out. I stood up. I'm starting to see clearer, I look around and see that I'm not at home. I seem to be in a cell, in a prison. But why would I be in prison? Where am I?  I would never do anything bad to get into prison in the first place.

I don't know how I could escape, I start searching my cell but I can't find a way to escape. I felt really dizzy , I fell to the floor and passed out instantly.

Rock Climbing Adventure!

This week our writing focus was to use more interesting ways of starting our sentences. This will hopefully make our writing more interesting!

It was finally the 20th of June, I have been waiting a long time for this date to come. It was the day for the year 7’s and 8’s to go rock climbing at Cattlestop Crag! I was so excited to go rock climbing. We were all excited because it counted towards our William Pike Challenge.

Finally when everybody arrived to school we could set off to the Port Hills to have some fun rock climbing. When we arrived, we met our rock climbing teachers, Steven and Josh. After a long lecture about keeping safe while climbing, we put our helmets on and our harnesses and we were set to go climbing! The two values we were focusing on was pride and resilience.

I started on the easiest wall that was there, I went first. On my first go I got half way up but then I got down. When I got back on the ground I wanted to go back up but I had to wait to have my next turn. So instead of just sitting there waiting for my next go, I helped Miss Blair with the belaying.

When it was my turn to go rock climbing again I got all the way to the top! I was very proud of myself. After that my last thing I had to do was the abseiling. I went first in my group, as I looked over the edge of the rock I froze, but eventually I started walking down the wall. When I finally got back on the ground I wanted to go back up there and do it again, but unfortunately I could only have one turn.

Finally it was time to hop back in the car and go back to school. I really had a great time rock climbing and I really want to go back up there to enjoy the view again.

Air Force Museum Response

On week 7 Rimu went to the Air Force Museum to learn about the ANZACS. I really enjoyed it there, my favourite part was going into the simulator room. To thank our teacher who taught us about the ANZACS we all made something to thank him. I made a card, here are some pictures of the card I made:

Hero Projects!

In the past few weeks Rimu has been making little match box projects. Inside are some facts about the person who we chose. We all had to choose someone from New Zealand, I chose Kelly Tarlton because I thought he was very interesting because he found lots of treasure, even Captain Cooks Anchor!

We all could decorate our match boxes the way we wanted to, I just went for a simple green box.

                          Here is a picture of my match box:

100WC Week 7

This week for our 100WC we had to include these five words: Violin,    Eaten,    Yellow,    Airplane,    Swept. I will underline where I used these words.

One day, I was practicing my violen. I was starting to get a bit peckish so I went into my kitchen and got a yellow banana from my fruit bowl.

I thought to  myself, after I've eaten this I should see if there are any flights to Fiji because I needed a vacation. So I got on my computer and bought some tickets to Fiji!

After that, the week swept away and I was in first class, on the plane, on my way to Fiji. I was so excited, I just couldn't wait until the airplane landed.

Maths

This week our maths focus is prime numbers and factors. On one of our math lessons we had to pick a number and try and make a rectangle with cubes and see how many rectangles we could make with our number. I picked five and I could only make one rectangle because I picked an odd number, but Hannah picked ten so she could make more than one. Now I know what factors are!

100WC Week 5

This week our 100WC prompt is a picture of a man sitting on a bench sitting next to a bronze statue, and we had to make a story about where they have been? Where are they going? Are they together? Here is my 100WC!

I saw a man sitting on a bench talking. I don’t know if he was talking to himself, for all I knew he was crazy. I didn’t see anyone near so he must be talking to the bronze statue beside him. I asked if he was ok and he said

“I’m just talking to me ol’ friend Bob. Why don’t you introduce yourself?”

I turned around to talk to the man he called Bob and thought for a moment, trying to figure out what I should say to ‘Bob’.

“Hi there, Bob. Nice to meet you, I really must be going. Goodbye!”

And I ran away.
