Reading Task

“Having a Good Geez”

“Bring in Mr. Faa, Please, Gazza” It was a long and frustrating day, five cars had been stolen, dumped and stripped in two weeks! The thief's haven’t been caught yet but Mr.Harambe, was determined to find and lock the criminal behind bars.

I Mr. Gazza walked out into the main hall to reveal all 6 suspects sitting on the chair’s looking suspiciously around. “Mr. Faa” A man, in black Huaraches, black Chino’s and a white Starter jumper glanced around worried.  “Now!” He didn’t move. “Get up, NOW!” He gave a little smile, then got up, I wasn’t in the mood for joking.

He walked past confidently, “Little Bugger” I thought.

He didn’t wait for Mr. Harambe to tell him anything, he made himself at home and sat down on the sofa without any word.

Ring! Ring! Ring! The phone rang furiously on the desk, Mr. Harambe answered the phone and begun talking. He was on the phone for about 5 minutes when his conversation was over. His angry face… Now a sly smile…

“Did you have anything to do with the car thefts that have been happening recently?” He didn’t answer. “No Sir” He asked one more time. “Is that all?” “Yes Sir” According to a witness, an anonymous person has seen you break into a car…

“But whoever said that doesn’t have evidence” said Mr. Fa’a confidently. For a split second there Mr. Harambe was lost in words, the first time EVER! He looked up at me, I gave a “what-now” look. He was about to say something when his eyes rested upon his computer screen.

He faced it around so that the both of us could see what he was looking at… It was a picture of Mr. Fa’a braking into a car! His clothing matched the clothing Mr.Fa’a was wearing now.

“Come on, Fa’a, time to put you behind bars” I said.

“I’ll get you back Harambe” he barked…

“In another 8 years, cuzzie!” he laughed back.

I couldn’t help myself but laugh too!

Reflection Writing

Today I will be answering questions about my Narrative Writing that my teacher has given our class.

What was your writing about for your narrative story? 

My writing was about me being a farmer, and taking care of animals. 

What was the purpose for working on your narrative writing?

The purpose of working on my narrative writing was trying to make me write harder and create more in depth writing. 

What are you learning to do with your writing?

I am learning to check my writing for any Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation mistakes, our writing goal as a class is to check all three of these, because our writing test results show that we need to check them!

What do you need to do to become a better writer?

I think to become a better writer you need to, give it your best and not try to rush it. The best writers usually take days to complete a story.

Who or what helps you to learn?

My teacher and my peers help me to learn because they fix my mistakes and push me to my limits!

Here is my Writing Reflection!

KiwiCan Reflection

Yesterday was our last Kiwi Can session! Every Time we have a last Kiwi Can Session we always watch a movie! But this time was different because we had both classes combined ( 9 and 10 ) We were given a chance to vote which movie we would watch! Overall, the movie that we watched was "Wreck It Ralph" If you haven't watched the movie, it is about a bad guy named "Ralph" who tries to become a hero winning a medal by game jumping. He ends up in a arcade game called "Hero's Duty" he cheats in the game and ends up winning the medal but he doesn't know that his game is under threat. His game get's put "Out Of Order".... Then he goes into a different game called "Sugar Rush" a racing game filled with CANDY!... He meets a glitch, who steals his medal...

Indian Train Robbers nab $1million

Today for S.S.R (Sustained Silent Reading) I read an article about $1million dollars being nabbed of a speeding train in India. The travel was 300km long, which is a long way but Police only realised it was missing hours after the train had already arrived in Chennai. The train's mail carriage was carrying 3.4 billion rupees in bank notes belonging to India's national park. The cart was being protected by armed police in the next compartment. Police suspect that six to eight people were involved in the robbery. They made a hole in the roof of the train measuring 1.2m squares, before escaping!

Who would do such a thing? Stealing $1million  is alot of money!

If you won $1million what would you do with that? 

I don't know what I'd do but I'm shocked!

Narrative Writing Part 2

Part 2…

The animal tuck tail and ran straight towards me …. I didn’t know what to do , I was frozen solid. Every time I saw it, it was edging closer and closer to me. I just managed to grab my rifle in the nick of time. But by that time the beast already managed to wrestle me to the floor, dodging its snapping jaws I was able to grab out my pocket knife and stab it in the head!

It howled in pain then fell flat on the floor, it didn’t move. I retreated back to my truck and saw something that shattered my heart. Bucky, my most favourite dog of all, was dead! And there was nothing I could do about it. I drove back home empty and lost, but I planned that I would bury Bucky next to our Apple tree outside. I climbed into bed and fell asleep.

“Bucky, come here boy. Bucky, come here boy.” .*No Reply*. “Bucky, come here boy.” Still no answer. “BUCKY!!!!!” “ARRRGGGHHHH!” I woke up. It was still midnight, I still thought Bucky was still alive but, he wasn’t. He is gone forever! I took a quick shower and climbed back into bed, trying to stop thinking of Bucky.

The following morning arrived, I was ready to go down and bury my favourite dog! Meanwhile, Mistik and Sergeant were having fun playing around with each other. I looked out and saw the apple tree I planted many years ago. It was my best friend, I sometimes talk to it as if it’s a real human being. “Come on boys, let’s go down to bury Bucky” I grabbed my shovel and made my way down to the large tree. “Clang!” The sound of the shovel hitting earth rocks made my ears rattle. Finally, I had a big enough hole for Bucky. Before entering Bucky in the hole, I made a small wooden box for him and put in his favourite toy, along with a photo of us two together. “I’ll miss you Bucky, I promise to never forget you”

I began covering him up, thinking about what happened. At least I have Mistik and Sergeant, I thought…

*Pause* That's was the most disturbing accident I had ever been in… And I swore that I would never let my guard down on any dog….

The End

At last, I finished Part 2 of my Narrative Writing.
