English Bellwork

Today I was watching one of my favourite gaming youtubers called Haxusate. He plays minecraft and he plays a mini-game which is called HCF (Hardcore Faction). He traps people which then when he kills them they have to wait 1 hour until they can play again. Or they can use in-game lives which cost.

Maui And the Giant Fish

Image result for maui and the giant fish

The story explained that Maui caught a giant fish which turned into land and the boat crashed while Maui and his brothers froze to death and turned into stone which is now known and the Southern Alps.

Something positive about it is that it is a good story and it has good explanation of what was happening.

Maori History - Moko


In Social Studies we are learning about the maori history. Moko's were a maori version of a tattoo. The ink was burnt wood and applied by using a little hammer and a sharp tool. This would go deep in its skin and make a long lasting scar. This victim would bleed a lot! Some people even died after this just to look good when you fight other tribes.


The chin area means Wairua Or Mana.

Comic Strip


Maui, What kind of leader was he?

Click here!

Maui And The Sun

1) What did I think of the story?

I thought that the story was a bit short and could've added maybe 2-3 more pages to make it more interesting.

2) Explain why I think of that?
Because it wouldn't have been a good story if its just 3 pages long.

3) What characters can you relate to.
I can relate to the others because my cousin always fights my little sister and I try to stop them but he dosen't stop.

Holes Character that I didn't like.

I didn't like the warden. I expected it to be someone who actually would watch the people dig instead of just in her cabin painting her nails

Monologues. Drama

In drama we are learning to say monologues.

9.Pirate: Can I talk like a pirate?  Ay, matie!  Avast! Ahoy!  Aye-aye, I can!   Shiver me timbers! I can talk like a pirate better than any lily-livered, jelly-legged sea-goer that ever there once was!  I says whatever I’ve got to say in a pirate way and if any bilge-sucking buccaneer says I don’t, I’ll cleave him to the brisket!  I swear on Davy Jones’ Locker, to be a true blue pirate you’ve got to be able to load a cannon and fire it- but most important you’ve got to talk like a pirate! I read it to Mrs Clark and she said I needed to use gestures.

Holidays

I enjoyed the holidays because I played video games, and I also got to have fun with my family because we didn't really get to do much of it.
