Our great adventures

Our great adventures

This is a book filled with great adventures.

Chapter 1

Part 1

The great area 51 raid

To see dem aliens.

It was finally September 20th, I  had traveled all this way with my best friend Lizz to get us an alien. We had weapons prepared and the proper gear so we don’t ya know die or anything. In our bags we had

• A couple of drink bottles (not trying to end up like we were at tanacon)
• Some snacks
• Some old clothes for our alien
• Some scrunchies for the visco girls
• And finally a friendship bracelet for our alien. 

 We were getting ready and there was a knock on the door, it was the police. They said “be careful if you are going out today because there will be a lot of stupib teenagers trying to “see dem aliends” . they are crazy if they think they can even get close to area 51” We didn’t mention that we were apart of the stupib teenages. 

It was 7:20am when we were leaving to meet everyone at the local starbucks. 

At 8:00am we set off, we had no idea what was instone for 10,000 of us.

Part 2

The arrival at area 51

Now 8:30am we have arrived at our destination, just outside of the gates and they were open, WIDE OPEN. So everyone went in to see a bunch of blow up aliens everywhere. They were trying to mock us with their stupib blow up aliens. We were fuming, mega mega fuming.  So we made a plan to run to the nearest door and bust through it. The countdown started ,’3, 2, 1 go go go. It was hectic getting through that door, it was hot and sweaty and gross but it was worth it for when we got in and saw amazing out of this world space crafts and huge airplanes. The workers and army were just staring at all of us… not stopping us just watching us like this was a normal thing. Then they went back to what they were doing, they were taking it like we were a joke. So we took this as an opportunity to keep moving around the place, I found a massive door with a 3 locks on it, I wanted in that room so badly and it was my mission to get in. The first 2 locks looked pretty simple, one looked like I could open it with my boobie pin. After a couple tries the first one broke open but no luck with the second one, so that meant I needed to hunt for some keys. 

Goals for this week.

My goal was to be positive in my learning and push to get out of the learning pit when I am in it and I think I successfully did that.

Last week I attended the music and song writing work shop.

Last week I achieved more then I thought I would. 

This week I want to finish chapter one of my story book and get at least 1 green task done and possibly 2 yellow tasks.

Essay Brainstorming.

Students would learn more if school started at 10am:

• Would have more sleep time
• Brains would be more learning ready
• Our brains would be more active and awake
• We would all charged up and ready to go.

Why students would learn better if school started at 10am - arguing for.

We would have more time to sleep.

Our brains would be more learning ready.

More active and ready.

My city is a person - Christchurch.

My city growls like a overprotective dog. My city shakes and roles. My city can be silent or my city can be loud. My city has been broken and fixed many times. My city is learning to be stable, but every now and again it breaks. My city is perfect even with the cracks and flaws. I love my city.

The horror camping trip...

You and your three closest friends decide to go camping. You arrive and set up camp nearly three miles away from where you left your car. Late that evening, as you sit around the campfire roasting marshmallows, one of your friends reveals a deep dark secret that turns what was to be a fun weekend into one of the scariest weekends of your life.

My heart missed a beat when I saw how pretty the sights were, the beautiful blue ocean and the smell of happiness filled the air. The hike up the hill was tough but it was all worth it when we got to the top of the hill and saw the smashing view. We started to set up camp and collected wood for the fire as the night sky was creeping in and it would be dark and cold soon. At 6:30pm the sky was full of stars and the fire was burning brightly. While sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows we decided to play truth or dare. I started by asking Sophie "truth or dare" she choose truth. I thought I was being funny by asking whats the worst thing you have ever done but the answer horrified everyone. Sophie answered with a creepy smile " Remember Jonathan that we used to go to school with" " Th the one that was murdered" said Tammy. "Yes ahhh, so funny isn't it that no one ever assumed it was me but all this time his body has been under the floor" Everyone was silent, no one moved until Sophie got up and walked down the hill towards the water. At this point the police were on the way but Sophie has already reached the water...

Self Directed learner.

My three goals are based on having a positive attitude.

1. Reminding myself that I will get through the hard part of the learning
2. Not thinking negative thoughts about the task.
3. Putting myself up instead of putting myself down.

Figurative Language!

Figurative Language!

Over the last week our class was given a one week course in figurative language.

We had to finish it in a and do self managing work ( my favourite way to work )

Here is my finished slide.

What have I learnt? I have learnt all about Idioms, similes and metaphors, Alliteration, Personification, Onomatopoeia and Hyperbole.

How does this show my learning? This is a copy of all the work I have completed over the last week.

What am I wondering? How to pronounce some of these words
