Scavenger Hunt Challenge

Yesterday morning at school our teacher decided for Rm 5 to have a Scavenger Hunt.The Scavenger Hunt was meant to increase our team work and to work collaboratively more.

We had to get into groups of 5. My team was-Florence,Raera,Ethan,Jayden and Te Rangimarie .Our first activity was to make a daisy chain. My group struggled at first but we still made it. The second activity was for someone to do a cartwheel while someone else takes a photo. Thirdly we measured how wide the court was in body length. My groups answer was 12.  We were then given a subtraction problem that we had to solve with a number line. Next we had to write down as many words as we could make with the word ‘observation’. We then went searching in the hall to find a oblong shape, we found a white table leaning against the wall. The we had to make a group letter or number, we chose to make the letter Y. We also had to go to the library and name 3 Geronimo Stilton books also as 3 Goosebumps.

Once we had finished that we had to run around our court twice then back to class. It was a exercise but my group and I had fun.

So far my book is about a female wolf giving birth to 3 whelps. She suffers while finding a birthing den for her kids. She finally gives birth and finds out that a child of hers has a problem. She realises she can’t go back to her clan with a weak pup. If she returns her and her mate will be deemed to find new clans also as new blood-lines.

My Balloon Adventure

Up,Up and away I went, soaring high in the beautiful blue skies. I felt like I was undefeatable. Dancing like I was in a circus. A dozen balloons were carrying me. Everything went smaller and smaller while I was going higher in the air.

It soon became noon and I started flying far far away from my street, I was lost. Hopefully I could be traveling to America.Why? Because I’ve only lived in America for a short life and I think it would be AWESOME if I could experience it more. Also because I could visit more of my family. I would visit many things my parent told me about like Taco bell,Dollar tree and Walmart. They sounded like great shops.

The unicorn - Mythical Narrative

There once lived a unicorn who didn’t have any wings or any friends. She would usually  go lurking in the magical forest of  Never Land. Then one night while the unicorn was walking through the forests she saw an old lady in black clothing.

The old lady approached the unicorn with care.The unicorn stopped to examine her and she could feel her hand tingle and turn clammy. The lady in black told the unicorn that she could give her thousands of friends and special wings if she could have the unicorn’s horn. The unicorn was delighted with her offer and immediately said, “ Yes!”  

The old lady took out a sharp pocket knife, and cut off the unicorn’s horn. The unicorn then reminded the lady of the bargain and expected to get what was promised but the old lady turned young and laughed.

“ You stupid horse, you’ve fallen for my trick.”

Next  she disappeared in a flash. The unicorn felt betrayed and she cried for days. Her tears formed a river in which she swam to drown her sorrows. She would lay in her bed hoping that one day she would gain confidence to go searching for friends.

“Knock knock”

The unicorn crept to the door and peeked through the tiny hole.  She slowly opened the door.

“Hello, My name is Amelia I’m new here*Shakes hand*Nice to meet you,”Amelia said politely.

They have a short conversation about being friends and why Amelia came to the village.

The unicorn never thought this day would come, she pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t sleeping. From that day on the two became great friends.
