Who I Admire

My Dad

My Dad James Cootes

I admire my dad because he juggles two jobs one owning a bakery with my mum and being in counsel as a representative for Otaki. He helps with Otaki decisions and helps other people voice there concerns. My dad is awesome and would do anything for me. He sets a really good example for me and helps me to be a good person. My dad is James Cootes and he is the best dad in the world.

My Favourite Music Artists

For another one of my summer learning journey I got to put my favourite music artists on a google drawing. I love music because It makes me happy and I don't like listening to sad music because It puts me in a bad mood and it affects others. One of my favourite songs is Sofia made from Clairo her song was really good and I love singing along to it. 

My Favourite Day

 My Diary Entry

For the Summer Learning Journey one of the tasks was writing a diary entry about your favourite day of your life. Here is my Diary Entry.

Spirit Walker Book Cover

 As I've already done a book review I won't go into the details of the book but I really enjoyed this book so I remade the cover also as one of the tasks as the Summer Learning Journey. 

My Favourite Video Game

 Rocket League

The game is where its like soccer except with cars. It sounds ridiculous but it is actually very fun and can get very competitive if you have watched pro rocket league players you know there are some very complicated moves you can do in the game. I really enjoy playing rocket league and I'm pretty good at it.

Rivalries

 

For one of the summer learning program we had to do rivalries and I wanted to do a digital rivalry instead of a sport one. There are lots of rivalries and Apple is a very big company as well as Samsung honestly I like apple more then Samsung but the battery life isn't as good.

Mario and Bowser is a classic rivalry that has been going on for ages since the game was made. Sonic is one of my old games that I loved to play and shadow is a great evil character. 

Random Act of Kindness

For another one of my Sumemr Learning Journey activities we had to do a random act of kindness. I love being kind to people because It brightens everyones day. I hope everyone has a good day (: I brought some of my friends moosies which are something from the canteen.

Spirit Walker Book Review

 Book Review

Spirit Walker is a new book that I am reading and I'm really enjoying it. The book is about 

a sickness that is spreading around the forest and killing lots of people. The main character in the story has to go find the cure in a place that he is not familiar with. I like the story because it is very detailed and is using different cultures to make the story more interesting.

If I was a Youtuber

 Youtuber

For our summer learning journey(a website that gives us tasks to do and get points for it) I chose the youtuber one. The task was if you were a youtuber what videos would you do. I chose the gaming side of youtube because I really enjoy playing video games and it would be really fun to post that online. My dream job is pretty far fetched but I would want to stream video games to lots of people.  

Word Art

 For one of our tasks this week my teacher Megan wanted us to make some word art using this app.

Curious Cove

Curious Cove Challenges

After we came back from Curious Cove Megan set us some challenges to finish. I was sick and couldn't do anything but next week I got to start it. Here are some of the challenges that I did. One of the challenges that I had to do was the acroustic poem. 

The highlight of camp for me was going to subway on the way back and getting lots of lollies. My least favourite part was when I nearly threw up on the ferry and the way home. One of my favourites was when we were on the boat and I was with my friends and we got to talk for 2 hours.

Emery Character

 Our teacher Megan is reading us a new book called Dog Runner. For one of our tasks we need to do a character profile on one of the characters. I chose Emery because he is cool and is Ella's sister.

Learning How To Use Scratch:Challenge 2

Scratch

Very Short Sentence: The Alien Ship

On Wednesday the 17th Of June we learnt about very short sentences. I have put two of them in my story and I'll see if you can find them. Comment if you did find them.

It was cold and desolate. The wind howled as I tried lighting my fire. The flames kept sputtering out before the gas had time to rise. Suddenly, a giant light turned on and a very surprised cow was lifted slowly into the air until it was gone sucked into a weird and complex ship. It flew over sucking more and more up until the whole paddock was gone. I stared in disbelief as it came above me and I scattered running as fast as I could into the woods.

I could hear the alien ship ruffling the trees searching for me. I breathed heavily. Soon the sound of the ship dissipated and it was gone. I sighed in relief as I came back out of the woods. That was until the ship came out of camouflage mode and picked me up as I screamed in terror. I fired my gun harmlessly at the ship trying to make it let me go. That was my fatal mistake. The light shut off and I was left dangling in the air trying to flap my wings like a bird. All went black.     

Step By Step kowhai Planting

Kowhai Planting

On Thursday the 11th of June we got the opportunity to plant kowhai in little pots. This blog will be a step by step instructions on planting kowhai seeds.

Equipment:Soil Pod,Soil Cup, Plastic Cup, Pokey Stick, Kowhai Seed, 50 mls of water.

Step 1. Rub the seed against sand paper until it opens up a bit.

Step 2. Get a plastic cup and put the soil pod in the cup. Fill the cup with the 50 mls of water and when it starts to dissolve take off the paper that's on the soil pod. Poke the soil pod with the stick to break it apart.

Step 3. when the soil pod is fully expanded and you put the soil in the cup but don't put all the soil in it other wise you can't plant the seed. When you have finished that you poke a little hole in the soil and put the seed in it.

Step 4. Now your finished for now and you can water it and plant into another pot when it is big enough.

Have Great DAY!

First Week Of School Since Quarantine

Going Back To School

We're back at school and it's Friday, completing my first week of school after lock down. Honestly it was great coming back mainly because I can see all of my friends because I was getting lonely. It was great though because I was starting to slack on my schoolwork but going to school made it easier to do it. I'm enjoying doing my options again and P.E. The one thing was different and hard to adjust to was walking around school because I'm used to doing my work all in my house. Well Thank you to who ever viewed this post and have a good day. 

Minute Blog Challenge

For Wednesday's blog challenge we are turned very tiny and we created what it would look like.

Questions for blog challenge.

If I was in a family of 10 I would rather be the oldest because then I could order around my younger siblings. I want to be able to see very far away instead of stuff really close because then  I could go in the army and able to snipe people or help them. If I had the chance to be able to shrink or grow to the size of a 2 story building I would shrink because then I could get into small things. I would hope that no one stand on me. My fear would be that a spider comes and kill me.

Adverb Starts

On write that essay we learned about adverb start. Here are some examples of them.

Mysteriously, the kid disappeared without a trace.
The man laughed maniacally.
Undeniably, the murderer was my friend.
Quickly, I ran away.
Adorably, the baby crawled over the floor.
He walked unevenly, because he sprained his foot.
Suddenly, a gun shot rang out.
Worriedly, he searched for hours.
It was extremely dark in the humongous cave.
Eagerly, he waited for his giant present.

My Daily Writing Challenge

Learning Book

For Home Room we have these writing challenges and I would like to show you mine.

Mad Monday Writing Challenge: It was midnight and supposedly Lucy and Esmeralda  were meant to be in bed. But the baby sitter was asleep so they snuck out and went to go find Grandpa George. Soon they found him in his office dozed off, with his glasses hanging in a weird position. Lucy smiled as she brung out the porridge and bugs they had brought. She poured the porridge onto George and put bugs all over him. Now he would have a nasty surprise in the morning.

Tricky Tuesday Writing Challenge:As mum left I made it my solemn duty to iron all the clothes in the house for my mother so she wouldn’t have to when she got home. As I got ready to iron a smell so disgusting it felt like a punch. As I looked at the basket I saw what was causing this horrible smell dad’s shirt. If i didn't know any better i would’ve called the fire department. I picked it up and hid it behind a shelf hopefully never to be found again.

This one below is my favourite one.

Weird Wednesday Writing Challenge:While Grandma was at bingo Jeremy snuck into the kitchen and walked towards the cabinet licking his lips. As he opened the cabinet door a giant water balloon got  thrown straight into his face pushing him back into another pressure plate which made flour drop from the top shelf and fall onto his head covering him head to toe. As he staggered away he stepped on a mouse trap and fell sideways. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Grandma came in smiling at him.
