Yesterday we went to the beach. We left a quarter way through period one. There was 2 vans and the one I was in was squished. As we got there we were introduced to Cassie, Damien who is at this school and Lisa one of out teacher aids that I didn't know worked at the surf club.

They then took as for a tour around the surf club. They showed us to the changing rooms where we put our bags then to the medical room the shed with equipment the back inside, then into a room with a lot of stuff. there were manikins for CPR and pictures that were either hung up or weren't hung up. We sat down and the taught us about CPR, and the word DRSABC. Danger, Response, Send for Help, Air ways, Breathing and CPR

Then they showed us the stuff inside the oversized first aid kit. There were Bandages, quick casts, and a Defibrillator. Then we did a great race. We first went to the BBQ's, then the look out, then a seat outside back to some marshmallows out the front of the club then to first Aid. Then up to the finish line in the top

Then we did a beach clean up. Well personally I didn't clean up. I took a soaking wet walk across the beach and then came back. When I got back grabbed my bag took it into the changing rooms( We had token our bags up stairs) and took a showers. Levi was also taking one In his undeys. They were his only one so I'm not going to tell you the rest of the details.

5/11/19 Mr fungus


Image result for mr fungus aitken
Today was enlightened with a performance from Mr fungus the mime. As of this moment while looking for a picture I figured out that he is related to Mr Aitken. A the start of the performance I thought he was just a really excited onlooker. But I few minutes later he was up on the stage miming. From the start he was laughing like a mad man.

From when he actually started the actual performance the laughs intervals in between and were not consistent. After doing about one the he would sign for some applause . We must of applauded him twenty times. He did some miming and some balloon blowing. 

He also invited a assistant up who was Antonio. We where sitting in the front of the hall and  were closest to the stage. Antonio was sitting on the end and got invited up 3 times. And Mr fungus only invited the assistant 3 times, no one else except Antonio. Through out the act journey kept on laughing

When ever she did he laughed back which made her laugh even me etc. At the end he invited Antonio for the third time and made him a balloon hat, thanked the teachers and Journey. Then he left and then we left. It was a great Performance and act 👏 👏

The off the activities.

In my group I had Me, Dean, Ayvah, Lily, Rangiowe, Ayana Nariah, Shine, Journey, Oliver, laki and Mr O,Leary as our leader. We went to soft archery but we actually had normal archery. So we went over and the guys explained safety things and how to load and bow. We did some practice the played a game. I was which team could get the most points. The other team won.

Now we went over to the Chapel escape. The welcomed us into the chapel aka a church. We had to find puzzle pieces and clues to find the key to get out of there. We went around and found stuff. After a while we found a ultra violet light or something. We found another language and we had to decode it with a sheet of paper. After being 15 minutes over time we got out.

ALWTW discussion questions


1) Well he might share but some people would hold him back. When he's older he will need more water so he best not waste it

2) Salva's uncle probably went to war because he knows that salva's parents are dead, so he wants revenge

3) The attitude changes because his uncle dies and he was the reason that Salva was treated fairly. His uncle was kinda the leader and now he's dead. Salva will try to prove himself

4) He thinks he sees his mum but it wasn't and then he realises what his uncle told him. I don't know what memory will help him survive camp

Careers Expo

Today at school we had a careers expo. There were a lot of universities and training organisation's and the army and police. One of them had a spinning wheel. I span it and landed on a question. I said my own opinion on it and won a chocolate.

The I went over to this corner where there were instruments. I sat on one of them and played. I forgot what it was called but they were Maori and pacific instruments. It was like a drum my one. There was also a ukulele and flute thingamajigs.

Then I followed legend outside to this digger. We waited 15 minutes until I could get on it. I looked at peoples movements and what controlled what before I went on it. I was all right at it. You were supposed to pick up tyres and move them to the other side.

Then I went back to class. The end

A long walk to water

I predict that the person that tapped salva on the back was his older brother.

I predict that Nya will go to the pond and get into a fight with the Dinka

And last I predict that Salva might find another person he knows

Questions about a long walk to water

He has to be ten or older to go to school and he does something when the season changes and only boys can go to school. This life is totally different to my life style

Where are his parents, Are the people approaching him dangerous and will he survive. I would treat it like a game if it was hardcore mode. Stay low and avoid the bad guys and only take them out if needed. Find water and food and I would be a bit scared.

Nya's journey is a rough walk through a rough terrain. Shes has a bucket thing and when she fills it up it is heavy. Then she puts the bucket on her head and heads home. If I had a responsibility like that I would eternally tired.

The tribes tell themselves apart by face tattoos. I tell the people apart by skin colour and their face

Killer whales.


                                                                In the ocean there was a heard of killer whales. The ate boats and people alive. And when they approach land they grow robotic legs and eat the people on shore and at the beach. That's why they are called killer whales. They also ate the Moby dick whale


And they came to New Zealand and eat some people and some whales. They chugged some ocean water and eat one of captain cooks boats. And now today they still eat people and boats. The jump out of the water and use their robotic legs to eat the people on bigger ships.

According to one of the killer whales diary a loopy killer whale swam into a big propeller and exploded. And then another killer whale eat a blue whale somehow. Killer whales are the are at the top of the food chain for everything.

Some in Africa spend a couple day on land eating lions and elephants. Other killer whales had robotic arms and climb trees to eat monkeys and birbs. plus some killer whales are normal ones but when they open their mouth's, they show around 200 teeth.

Side note there are no normal killer whales, their teeth or robotic limbs are hidden. Killer whales also eat loads of other thing.  https://lib2.colostate.edu/wildlife/atoz.php?letter=ALL. that's all they eat check it out.

BATMANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I'm here in a donut and bagel store. Sipping coffee and eating a donuts. These simple things in life I normally can't enjoy without heaps of people crowding me. Its around 2am. Everyone's probably asleep except for joker, judging by the look he always has on his face he doesn't sleep a lot.

Being bat-man is tiring. I stay up nearly all night searching for bad guys. I sleep during the day but Alfred's against that. I'm bored, I might mop around on a really really high roof top. Yeah i'm going to do that. 10 minutes later.

Wow i'm on a roof top, life sucks, coffee's disgusting but I drink it. Look the door burst open. " Hello but-man hahahahhaha what are you doing here". Mopping around like a teenager that got its phone token of them.

What do you even want joker." Well mainly sleep but I can't until I defeat you". Well this isn't a Pg so piss off. "Why so mean bat-man". I will show you mean if you don't piss off. " I'll leave you then bat-man". Oh yeah joker. " yes?". If you leave a bomb I will shove it up your but.

The Fire back frog

Most fires in the amazon forest are started by the F5ire back frog who's back is constantly on fire. Its cold blooded so the fire keeps it warm. Its scientific name being Firteri Tontalis. As its numbers have depleted over the years there down to about 200 fire back frogs in the amazon forest.
All it does is hop through the forest causing major fires and havoc. All predators keep well away from it in fear of being burned. Fire back frog ironically hates fire and does not know of the fire on its back. 
It can not see the fire on its back and has fire proof skin.  Its runs away from other fires started from other frogs. The fires smoke gives off a different scents for different frogs. This helps females identify its mate. Once a year in the heart off the amazon all the frogs meet together and thuce commences the fire dance 
All the frogs jump around and leap greater the biggest forest fire ever. Its skin looks like lava so yeah that's all the information gathered on the great Fire back frog.
The End

The Giants

The Giants1892 4th of May. It was a normal afternoon in London. Everyone was sipping their tea. except for the poor people. Then all of a sudden dark cloud appeared. lightning flashed, everything turned to black and white. Everyone was bamboozled. Then came the loud thumps. Out of no where giants in big suits sucked up people.

They sucked up people through what looked like a trumpet. they had helmets with lights beaming down on people. Everyone on the streets scrammed. A man that survived wrote that it looked like they were eating the people,

Another said they saw blood dripping from the helmets. Others that survived said the same. Then arrived the bombers. Aircraft's carrying bombs dropped them on the giants heads. They exploded and they did this to the other ones. People that had been sucked up fell down and either broke all their bones or died

The giants collapsed and killed even more. Though the army threw a party and life went on. Moral of the story if giants suck you up with trumpet your a goner, tell the person first person you see "see you in heaven". Plus the colour returned. The end 🎺🎺🎺🎵🎵🎵
