Why you should buy a dog

WHY YOU SHOULD OWN A DOG,

BECAUSE

DOGS ARE DA BOMB

Most kids and parents have pets, some of them have cats, rats, parrots and maybe even chinchillas. I think dogs are the best because they’re really fun, easy to look after and they’ve got lots of personalities. Dogs can be full of energy most of time, you can even train them to do awesome tricks. After you read this, you’ll not only want a dog, you’ll own one.

Dogs can be really playful and pumped up, you can play fetch with them and chase them around the field or backyard. When you come back home from school, they’ll be wagging their tails ready to play. When mum says you have to go outside, you can play with your dog/s.  If you're lying on the ground bored out of your mind, your dog is always there to comfort you. In your spare time, you could try teaching it how to do some tricks like roll over,  high five, and maybe a backflip if it’s really talented.

Secondly, dogs are easy to look after. You only have feed them about 3-4 biscuits every morning and afternoon, it really depends on what dog you have. Dogs can be  full of lots of energy  but at the end of day they're just a lazy  pile of fur. If your dog gets thirsty, all you have to do is either grab a dog bowl or a bucket and fill it with water. But if you use a bucket, make sure to clean it before pouring water into it. And if you run out of dog biscuits, you can buy a new big bag of dog biscuits about $39 or higher.

Lastly, dogs can have lots of personalities. If you're feeling down, your dog will lick your knee or face and cheer right you up. Sometimes they won’t be there to cheer  you up, but I reckon they’ll be there. They always keep you company and some dogs can be really protective like a guard dog for example (If you don’t crave a burglar alarm, your dog can be one.) If you have two dogs, they’ll keep each other company. If there female, and male, you could have puppies and those puppies will turn into dogs. Then you could probably sell them for money, or keep them to make more baby puppies.

Some people wouldn’t like or want a dog because they poop everywhere, they leave their muddy trails on the floor. But most dogs poop on the grass in one area and they won’t come into the house if you close the door.

So now you have it, now you know dogs are the best. Dogs can really build up a bond with the owner and fill him or her with joy. If I were you I would buy a dog maybe now or tomorrow if you have the money.

How to tie a figure of 8 knot

How to tie a figure of 8 knot

A figure of 8 knot is the easiest knot to tie, I’ll be teaching you how to tie a figure of 8 knot. This can be really usefull.

1. First of all, make a loop with your rope.

2. Then you twist the loop once so that it looks like this.

3. Next you grab rope A and place it through the loop.

4. Now you pull both lines of the rope and you should have a knot that looks like an 8.

Now you know how to tie a figure of 8 knot, this should be easy for anyone that tries this but if you failed, I’d probably read this again. If you succeed, thumbs up!

How New Zealand Formed Into Islands

http://storybird.com/books/how-new-zealand-formed-into-islands/?token=ftcvtdnbwy
Our class have been creating some story birds of a myth we wrote. My myth is about how Maui fished up the North Island, it's also about how the South Island of NZ was formed. (Click on the link above to read my story bird)

LEGO MOVIE snapshot

This is my snapshot, from the holidays. I watched the Lego Movie and some of  the  parts were just sad and funny. Hope you enjoy reading it! :)

The lights turn off instantly, the room gets darker, and darker. Then suddenly a giant rectangular screen light up, and the movie begins. The start of the movie was looking pretty interesting when Lord Bussines bowled down the door  and had a robot shoot Vitruvius in the eyes and stole the Kragle (glue). Lord Business says “You’ve hidden the kragle well, old man” smirking in his face. “There is a prophecy” says Vitruvius, “Now there’s a prophecy!” replies Lord B  “Someone by the colour of yellow” Vitruvius says again..........       Lord B kicked Vitruvius off the cliff instantly after that whole bla bla bla incident. I thought it was funny watching Vitruvius fall.

In the construction part of the city, the construction workers were hopping into their vehicles and destroying heaps of buildings after a guy calls out, “SMASH EVERYTHING WEIRD”. I didn't know why they had to smash down the buildings but it was just weird.  After that they started singing a song that involved everything is awesome. Emmett says “Everything awesome, everything is cool with the part of the team, everything is awseoooooooome, when we’re living our dream. I could sing this for five hours....           5 HOURS LATER....      ....Everything is awesome”. The song was a bit catchy, but I didn’t sing it during the movie.

Emmett found the Piece Of Resistance after falling into a hole and found himself in a room with Bad Cop. Emmett asks “Isn’t there supposed to be a good cop because I watched a cop movie and there’s always a good cop”, Then bad cop switches to good cop “Hello, I’m your friendly neighbor, would you like a drink of water?” replies Good Cop. “Yes please?” says Emmett, “Well too bad” says Bad cop he replied as he through the cup away.

While I was watching the movie Wyldstyl and Emmett go through a portal that leads to the old WILD WEST..  Emmett was acting funny when he said “I’m a cowboy” and I cracked up at that moment when everyone turned silent. Then I saw what  Emmett’s mind looked like, his mind was just a dessert and he thought of a double deckered couch that appeared out of nowhere and Vitruvius said, “That’s the dumbest idea I have ever seen”. After that a cowbot knocked on the door and the three escaped from the trap door in the roof and a whole army of robots were waiting outside!

Mum was crying a little at a some of the parts like when Emmett purposely fell out of the window and woke up in another dimension, and by another dimension I mean in a basement full of everything in LEGO city. At that very time a kid found him on the floor and his dad came in. The dad says “what, what happened here” and the kid replies

machines lego people built and Metal Beard, Wyldstyl, Unikitty and the 1980’s space guy were surrounded by the black cubed robots.

The ending came and Emmett becomes a Master builder, saves all of LEGO City and builds a giant construction-bot the destroy those robots. I thought the movie until some lego duplo characters enter the scene and say “We are lego duplo and we are here to destroy you”.

Then the movie ended and room lit up with light. People started leaving the theatre. “That was a great movie” says Mum, “I couldn’t agree more” I reply.....   but I really need to go to the mens room so, see ya.

Rock Climbing Recount

ROCK CLIMBING RECOUNT

Flax Rock

I grab my first rock and start to climb. As I climb the rope gets tighter and tighter. I grasp each and every rock. One of my hands slip and I was already 6 metres up, I trie to find a rock to cling onto but I had no luck. Then I looked down and found a yellow rock with green flames, I stood on it and continue my journey up the wall. It was getting harder, and harder to cling onto every other the colorful rubbery rocks. I’m up 13 metres up and I wasn’t going to let it all go yet. I try to reach the 25th rock and I still haven't got to the top.

My body starts to shake like a meteor ready to crash into Earth. My arms wiggle around like a snake, I look down and hear my classmates cheer me on. All the kids and adults were so small, they were the size of a miniature stick man. I look up and gasp to myself, I want to come down, but no. I keep on climbing. My legs and hands were getting tired and I was only 2 1/2 meters away from reaching the top. I try to reach the rocks, but I just couldn’t.

I looked down and fear struck me in the eyes, then I froze. Just for a moment though, and I thought about how I could grab the rubbery rock. I tried to reach it, but I can’t. Then I decided to come down, I hold onto the rope and the b-lay held on tightly, and slowly let me down. I touched the ground, and you could tell I was glad I was back onto the surface. Then I took a deep breath, and walked over to another wall to climb. I was real proud of myself then.

THE END
That there is my rock climbing snapshot at flax rock, thanks for reading! :-{)

3D shapes (Area & Perimeter)

Our class created these 3D shapes that contains 20 cubes.
Mr Ford asked us to find out how much paper we would need to wrap up the cubes.

Volume = 20 cm cubed
2 wide x 5 long x 2 high= 20

Area   
2x5=10 for each side.
2x2=4 for each end.
So the total area = 48 cm squares

It's Not Easy Being A Cushion

Our class has been creating some poems about an object they've chosen, and we write how they feel if they were that  object. I hope you like my work. :)

It’s Not Easy Being A Cushion

It’s not easy being a cushion,

everyone sits on me every school week

Dirty fingers touching me,

leaving grease, sand and dirt behind.

I wish I could talk but for some reason I can’t

being only one shape for the rest of my life,

I hate the colour I am at the moment,

It’s hard to breath when I have no mouth or nose.

When school is over, I get left on the floor or usually somewhere up high

does nobody know I’m afraid of heights?

Sometimes I’m a chew toy for dogs,

and a disc for older kids to throw in the air.

When I get spinned around I get a bit sick and turn green, but only in my mind.

I wish kids and adults wouldn’t sit on me and squash me all the time.

It’s not easy being a cushion :’(  

Human Emotions

Our class has created a document about human emotions, we write about 5 or 7 emotions. I hope you like it. :)

Human Emotions

Words:Annoyed, Angry, Sad, Happy and Strong

Annoyed is like,

when someone copys what you say for the rest of your entire life.

Angry is like,

a bomb setting off in 3 seconds.

Sad is like,

Waiting for a game you bought offline and it never got delivered and you paid $50.00 for it.

Happy is like,

you winning the lotto and got paid twice the amount of money you got paid.

Strong is like,

when you feel like you can lift 1 plane with only 1 hand and saving everyone's life.

The Sea Monster

Our class has been creating some stories about a weird creature that Mr Ford found one a rock when he was just about to dive in, and he shared a story a bout it with the class and took a photo of it. I hope you like it. :)

The mysterious sea monster

Dylan and I were playing at the beach, digging holes, jumping in them and burying ourselves in the sand. It was beautiful day, nothing could ever go wrong I thought as I started running into the sea. But then, suddenly, I caught a glimpse of what looked and might be a fish sitting on a rock. I had to have a closer look.

As I got closer, I got more interested of what it looked and what it might be. Then, I gasped, it was hideous and terrifying.

The eyes were sunken in like it was trying to hide them. They were pitch black and looked freaky, a bit evil too. I looked at it’s opened mouth and I saw some horse like teeth and two razor sharp seal-like teeth. Sharp bony fins poked out of its head looked similar to a mohawk. The creature had boney, brown skin, it was rough and scaly. A rotten smell wifted up my nose. It smelt like something died.

This sea monster swims in the ocean and probably eats people’s heads off and leaves the bones of it’s meal on the ocean floor. When it’s swimming in the water it’s eyes paralyzes it’s prey, then it tears it’s preys flesh off. This creature feeds on divers and fish, it hunts for food at day and night, but mostly at night. The creature assassinates it’s victims and sometimes it’s own kind. Most of the time, these fish have to fight for some land when owned by another. These type of creature live in Napier, Hastings and Auckland waters, it also lives in the atlantic ocean. They like to live in dark under water caves.

I wanted the beast to slither back into the ocean but for some reason it’s just stared at me. I got my dad to look at the creature, but when I got back, it was gone. Then I told my dad I was feeling a bit sick but only because I didn’t want to risk having my arms chomped off by that hideous monster. I had one last look at the ocean, and there it was, the fish with it’s head poking out of the water looking at me from a couple of metres away. After it had it’s last look at me, it swam away, into the depths of the ocean, forever.

For now.........

Zombie Apocalypse #2

Here is a story of a zombie apocalypse and this story is continuing from the end of zombie apocalypse #1 when Elijah, Zach and Tyrone grabbed almost everything in the shop.  I hope you like enjoy the story! :)

Zombie Apocalypse #2

Last time on Zombie Apocalypse #1...

They run into the gun shop and grab everything they can.

Now:

“Woah” says Tyrone, “Dibs the M16 and the machete” “I’m gonna get the machete and the ak47u” says Zach, “I’m gonna get the same as Zach” says Elijah. Elijah, Tyrone an Zach walk over to the door and Elijah says “you go first Tyrone,” “No way” replies Tyrone, “In the movies, the first person to leave the room always dies.” “After you Zach” Tyrone says, “Such a nice guy...., wait” says Zach. Suddenly a zombie jumps off the roof and almost bites zach, luckily he moves out of the way and grabs his machete and slices the zombie in half. “Quick, let’s go” He said “before the zombie wakes up” and the three rush down the street. “Don’t look back!” says Tyrone, then Elijah looks back, “Grrrrrrrrrr!” says the zombie. “Ahhhhhhhh” says Elijah, “I looked back!” replies Elijah. Then after 5 minutes of running Zach spots a diner to shoot from and says, “Look over there guys, there's a ladder up to the roof, the zombies will never be able to climb that and plus we would have better aim.” Elijah, Zach and Tyrone climb the ladder and shoot all the zombies.

Tyrone reaches for his pocket, “What are you doing?” says zach, “I’m pulling out my Mum’s phone” replies Tyrone. “When did you do that?” asks Elijah, “When we left my house just for encase if we need it to call someone from another country to help” says Tyrone. “Great thinking Tyrone, but only WE CAN’T BECAUSE EVERYONE’S A ZOMBIE!” says Elijah, “Zombies don’t know how to swim dumb dumb so only the people in the north island of New Zealand are zombies” Zach replies. Tyrone turns on the phone and tries to find someone that isn’t in the north island on  the contacts list, “Aha” Tyrone says, “What is it” Zach asks, “I found someone to contact.” Tyrone clicks on one of the contacts and his brother replied. “Hi Noel” Tyrone says, “Anyway can you....”  5 minutes later... “thanks, see you soon or, later.” “Dumb zombies” Zach says looking on one side of the diner. Suddenly a zombie starts climbing up the wall with an axe on his back, “Rrrrrrrr!” mumbles the zombie, “sorry!” yells Zach.

To be continued...

Glossary:

• ‘Rrrrrrrrr!’ means “Don’t call us dumb!”

Triathlon day recount

Last Friday on the 22nd of November the seniors had a Triathlon day and I am doing a recount of team race when my team was doing it. My team is Flin and Dylan. I hope enjoy my recount of triathlon day.

Triathlon Day Recount

“Go” shouts a teacher, and their off. Flin starts biking and everyone are in their positions and  Dylan waits to get high fived on the hand. Flin finds it difficult to come first and is probably tired after 5 minutes. He tags Dylan and he goes into the pool. For a while I thought he would have not finished it and took a long time and I was getting a bit worried but then I saw him and also saw Sam waiting for his partner. ‘Oh no’ I thought in my head, ‘Sams gonna eventually beat me.’ “Come on Dylan!” I yell, and he comes walking to me and tags me to run. I get to the playground and see Zach, and he runs with me after I got past him. “Hey” Zach says,

“what are you doing”

I reply,

“trying to beat you”

Zach replies back.

“Get out”

I say to Zach,

“Ok”

Zach replies.

I keep on running until my good conscience says ‘Don’t look back!’ and my evil conscience says

‘look back!’, I look back and Sam was coming, ‘told you so’ the good conscience replies. I trie to get past Ollie and the girl in front of me, and I beat her but I was far from beating Ollie. I breathe heavily and sounded weird and Elijah running by my side, my legs were getting tired and felt like collapsing onto the grass. I keeped on running and then....                                    Sam ran past me and thought ‘oh man,’ I get to the finish line and say to Teva “You got to the finish line before Sam.” Then I walk over to Elijah and smile, then collapsed onto the grass. lying down on the grass brang my strength back to start walking instead of lying on the grass forever.

“For those who want a swim can you please have it now and then you after the swim you can have your morning tea” says a teacher, “Yah!” I say.

Super hero story #2

Here is my other story of part 2 and Master Tyrone faces droids and working with some mates, what will happen, will the world be destroyed or will it be saved? Please comment. :)

Master Tyrone PART 2:Darth Vader!

Last time on Master Tyrone:

Anakin has captured Tyrone and gets a powerful chemical on him, which turns him into a super hero. “Oh no, the Dark side have taken over Hastings,”  “You can save Hasting Master Tyrone.” Assassin zach throws a sword at Master Tyrone and the rest start shooting.....

Meanwhile in room 16:

“Whoa” I said, “that was a close one.” “I think we have to take off our disguises so they stop shooting at us” said Captain D, “Good Idea” I replied, we take off the stormtrooper disguises and stopped shooting. “Sorry for that, we didn’t know that it was you goodies” said Assassin zach, “I’ll call the boss.” While we were waiting our teacher Mr Moriarty (AKA, Commander B, Commander Brains) came in and apologized for shooting at us, “Here, quickly, come over here to the secret base.” “What base?” said Captain D, “there’s nothing here.” Commander B pulls out a book and a secret elevator appears when the place where the dictionaries get holded get chopped in half. We go into the elevator and see that it was made out of glass because I could see 1/4 of students practising and another quarter playing games that help them to fight to fight. Half of the class were playing a paintball game.”Whoa” I say, “it’s amazing down here.” “Yep” says Commander B, “this  is a place for all pupils to train for a battle and they need to train hard because an army of droids are out there.” “Can me and Master Tyrone go and fight them?” says Captain D, “Yes but you need some reinforcements to help you fight this battle” says Commander B. “Come on out kids,” Iron Josh, Master Zebhdiyah, Assassin zach, Elijah Man, Agent Marcus, Teva-yunda, Cri-Wolf and Thunder skull, “7 kids wanting to help us fight for hastings, it’ll be an awesome fight” I say. “Assassin zach” I say, Assassin zach replies “Yeah”, and I say “Do you have a plan?” Assassin zach thinks for a while and goes, “Ahah!” “What?” says Elijah Man. “Well we’ll.... (they whispered the plan out and all agreed) “Yep” they all said.

“Yoohoo, up here” says Elijah Man who shape shifted into a lady droid, “can you sign my laser gun, oh sorry it’s got the guy next to you’s name on it! Elijah Man shape shifts into a machine gun and Agent Marcus comes out of know where and hops on Elijah Man. The machine gun shoots all the droid but the droidekas are still out but one hit and their bubble will be popped. While they were doing that Thunder skull and Iron Josh were taking out the Vulture droids and they worked pretty well together, Assassin zach and Captain D were taking down Droidekas, storm troopers, Tank and battle droids. I saw a not in one of the droids hands, it read

“Come to your house or let your parents perich, to save them you’ll have to fight me or just walk to your house,, 02.30 pm. Don’t be late,

From your nemesis,

Darth Vader!

“Oh no” said Teva-yunda, “We have to do something.” “We will” I reply, “Teva-yunda, Captain D, Cri-Wolf and Master Zebhdiyah, you’ll be my backup and when I call you come.” Master Tyrone walks home to fight the powerful and mighty Darth Vader, “Hi Master Tyrone” said Darth Vader with a grin on his face not that I can see it but he laughed a bit. “Welcome Master Tyrone.” He pulled a lever and a big see through cylinder glass dropped on me. “I’ll get out of here soon Darth Vader!” I say, and Darth Vader says “Oh really” and I say “Nah not really. 10 minutes later... “Woohoo I’m free!” I shout, then an army of droidekas surround me, “I shouldn’t have shouted it out” I thought. I get handcuffed to a wall in a cell, I use the force to grab my lightsaber and cut the chains off, I call my brother on the walkie talkie. “Hello, is anybody there, I repeat, is anybody there.”

Meanwhile at Mcdonalds....

“Can we all have a um, a kids meal and a um, a chocolate sundae” says Crighton, “That would beeee, $7.99/$8.00” says the register man. “Aren’t you a bit too young to get your own meals kid,” Crighton replied “yes, and I have money, like, about.. $40.” Cha ching, goes the register. Crighton, Zeb, Dylan and Teva walk over to a table to eat their food, watching TV and heard something, “Pickup, pickup, come on, I haven’t got all day.” “I think I heard Tyrone you guys” says Zeb, “Nah, it was just the TV”says Dylan.  I shout out at Dylan and he say “Hi brother, have you finished Dath vuder yet”, “It’s pronounced Darth Vader” I say.” “Yeah right” Dylan replies, then I say “any way, I need backup, Ok, back up” The guys go into the toilets and get quickly changed into super heroes, well not super heroes, but more like super kids.They followed Dylan because he was the only one out of the 3 counting himself which is 4 who knew how to get to his house. Master Tyrone and Darth Vader here something, “Someones knocking on the door” says one of the security droids, the security droids look at the door. Suddenly  Captain D smashes a wall to get in, “Why did you go through wall?” I say, Captain D replies “It’s called making an entrance” and Master Zebhdiyah replies “no its not.” “Lets just fight some droids, save Master Tyrone ” says Cri-Wolf, 20 minutes later... “Yay we finally defeated the baddies and no more destruction, woohoo” says the whole group. “The war isn’t over” I say, “More bad guys might be roaming the city and we don’t know when they will ever stop, war has just begun.”
