My Work!!!!!!! 21/9/2012

My favourite work was my poem,

The Heat.

The heat was like standing inside an oven.

Trees standing still, stunned by the overwhelming force of the sun.

In a haze off in the distance, a city bursting with life. The tallest building towering above, just visible.

I study a bead of sweat. Tracing its journey down my arm, only to have it disappear, gone up to the sky with nothing but a tiny grain of salt.

My tongue is as dry as an African desert.

Back in New Zealand, life still goes on without me.

And yet this heat fills my body like a parasite, growing bigger the longer I’m exposed to this heat.

The doors open and the cold air hits me like a steam roller.

The refreshing air fills my body, I dread the journey back but I know I can survive,

The Heat.

I like it because it reminds me of going to Dubai and all the things I got to see on my world trip!

Movie review - Hanna

Hanna (Saoirse Ronan born 12 April 1994) is a 16-year-old girl who lives with her father, Erik Heller (Eric Bana 9 August 1968) in the snowy forest of northern Finland in Europe. Once she sets of to Europe where an agent Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett born 14 May 1969) The movie length of 111 minutes but it seems longer.


The movie was Directed by Joe Wright and Produced by Leslie Holleran, Marty Adelsein and Scott Nemes in 2011. The budget of $30 million the movie was going to be no walk in the park. The Worldwide Boxoffice total of $63,782,078.

Hanna was an amazing movie and i enjoyed it.You never knew what was going to happen next and kept me on the edge of my seat. I rate thins movie a well deserved 7.5/10 stars because it was confusing at times but in the end everything went into place I still think they should have explained some bits more so you could understand more and keep the audience coming back for more.

Dear Blog...

The Production went well! Everyone (Mostly) remembered their lines and dace moves. We got laughs at the funny bits, not funny bits and times when we did something wrong. It was so much fun and i think everyone have a great time and was the best Prodution we have ever done! It wasthe last one for the Year 7 & 8's so it was good that it was awesome! :)

What was your favourite part?

Dear Blog 20/8/2012

My Netball team won the grade! It was hard but with a balanced focused court, anything is possible! There was only one goal in it but but thanks to the shooters because if they missed one extra goal we would be only first equal! I think the team has come a long way since the trials at the start of the season so that all our efforts paid off in the end! :) I love netball it was a shame that we only got one game in the new dresses but that's life and I hope the next set Netballers can enjoy them!

What sport do you play?

Dear Blog 17/8/2012

OMG! The production is so close! I can't wait but there is still a lot of things that we need to do like make the clothes and practice the dances. On monday we need to bring everything that we're wearing on  the nights because there will be dress rehearsal at anytime. This will be my (and allth year 7 & 8's) last production so there is still a lot to do. I can't wait till the night like most people.

Are you ready for it?

Dear blog 9/8/2012 OLYMPIC SPORT!

Handball! Most people think that Handball is a sport played with hands against a wall, well your WRONG!

Handball ( a.k.a Olympic handball, European handball or Borden ball) is a Team sport where two teams of seven players each team (six players make up the outfield and a goalkeeper) A game is made of two of 30 minute halves, and, like most team sports, the team with the most goals at the end wins.

Handball is usually played indoors, outdoor Handball is not as common and is called Field Handball  and beach handball (a.k.a sandball). Goals are scored a lot, usually both teams score at least 20 goals each.

The ball is round and is made of leather. Sizes vary because of the age and gender of the players.

Used by	Circumference (in cm)	Weight (in g)
Men and male youth older than 16	58-60	425-475
Woman, male youth older than 12 and female youth older than 14	54-56	325-375
Youth older than 8	50-52	290-330

 The thing that I mainly love the most is that Luke is in the New Zealand under 20 team going to Samoa in October! :)

Dear Blog 17/7/2012 Canada Awesomenissniss!

My Cuzzies came from Canada came over in the holidays! Me, James, (left) Ashly (2nd left) and my little brother Paul played on Wii sports resort. It was so fun because me and Ashly always beat James and Paul so they kept challenging us and we kept wining. They were only here for 3 days so basically we had one full day with them. I'm going to miss they as they were fun and a great laugh. I hope that in the near or distant future i can go satay with them in Canada!

What did you do in the holidays? Did you have family come over? If yes then from where? That's all for now! :)

This is my storyfor tasks! 20/6/2012

I lay in bed. My mind running over the possibilities. What was it, behind it, the little door down the stairs. The temptation eating away at me with each growing second. My dad said never to go down, to open the door. Spiders? Mice? Aliens? So many questions, one answer. I have to know, but dad would never forgive me. Just one look couldn’t hurt. No one needed to know. I mustn't, something horrible could be lurking just behind that small door. Dad had always said that things are lost in there. Maybe he would want them back, but he spat the words out like he was overcome with rage. Maybe he was just lying. But dad never lies. He’s never really been mean, only when I ask about the door does something flare inside him and in one second he’s tickling you, then the next he’s looking you right in the eye. No, go to sleep, I tell myself. The more you think about it, the more curious you become. The instant I close my eyes my legs betray me and I’m up walking towards the door. I command my legs to stop but still they move closer like they’re not attached to my body. I sort of waddle down the stairs. Only one glare at the door took me flying back into my room. I slam the door shut, but not so loud that it would wake up the whole house, but enough to make me jump. My heart is pounding. I was sure i had seen the doorknob turn.

That’s impossible. You just need some sleep. But it looked so real. I pinch myself, hard. It hurt. I put my ear to the door. Soon after I wish I hadn’t, but still I couldn’t take my ear off the door, same as not being able to control my legs. I could just make out whispers rebounding through the walls. ‘Thomas, Thomas you must help us! Thomas, go through the door, come to our world! Help us Thomas, Thomas we need you!’ The supernatural force was gone and I ripped my ear off the door. I opened my mouth the scream, but nothing came out other than a small screeching sound no louder than a mouse. I climb into bed and the last thing I hear is the creaking of a door opening.

I wake up to find my wrists and legs loosely bound. I sit up and in the dark room all i can just make out two chairs i over to my right. I hear rustling and i shoot back down. People are talking but I need to strain my ears to hear what they are saying,

‘Don’t hurt the boy, we need him if we are too compete what the master has told us,’ the voice was calm and slightly higher than I would have first thought for something that could have tied me up,

‘How do we know we can trust him, I mean he is human, those lying little rats.’ Now that sounded like something who would do this. The voice was dark and cold and even without looking at it, I could tell that this was one to keep away from. The door opened to the room I was in and a strange green light filled the room. I could feel the creatures coming closer and then them leaning over me; I open my eyes fast and see these almost human things staring down at me. I scream long and hard, which obviously scared them because they also scream an inhuman screech. When I stop, my lungs and throat throb with the force and i keep the temptation to talk and wait for faint to take its toll.

‘You’re awake,’ the scary one said,

‘I’m Club and that’s Shank,’ the higher voiced one said, ‘Sorry about the approach, Shank here,’ Club pointed to Shank, ‘he wanted to make it scary but I thought what’s the point?’ Club had a way to make his voice sound so soothing and calmed me right down.

‘Sneaking around is way more fun,’ Shank said with an evil smile ‘But she doesn’t know how to have fun you see, always following the rules’. The confusion in my head finally stopped and I could take in what they looked like. Club was tall and she had skin a shade of blue, not the bright blue like they had in avatar, a movie I watched a week ago, but more of a green kind of blue. Club had a small noise and they clearly relied on sight not smell, she had long hair down to her thigh and grey sparkling eyes. Shank, on the other hand, was short, had a longer nose, that was sort of crooked like is been broken and a buzz cut with scars that covered all over his body. His eyes look much the same as Club’s but they look deeper and scary. They both wore this brown cloth that looked like it was supposed to be a jumpsuit.

‘Right,’ Shank said which snapped me out of my line of thought, ‘Let’s take you to the master.’

*

‘Where am I? Who’s the Master? What are you? What do you want with me?’ I ask almost shouting, tired of not receiving the answers I so desperately long for.

‘Stupid human, why do you ask so many annoying questions?’Shank spits at me, literally, I wish I could burn my face but that would kill me.

‘Mock me now, but soon I will run out of here so fast when I get the chance, that all you will see is a puff of smoke,’ I shout back in reply,

‘How did you know our weakness was smoke?’ Shank said with an alarmed look in his eyes,

‘Wait, your weakness is smoke?’ I ask hoping that this could be my ticket out of here,

‘Yes and the master keeps a bottle of it right beside him to kill any sentenced to death.’ Club explained, ‘and were going to him right now.’

‘So what is he going to do with me?’ I ask, finally getting some answers,

‘Ever heard of magic?’ Club asks,

‘Yes but it’s not true,’

‘What would you do I told you that there is such thing as magic?’ Club asks. She stops so suddenly that I almost trip up. What I regain balance I reply,

‘Laugh in your face, call you a liar, and tell you that you should go to a mental hospital.’

‘Well, maybe it doesn’t in your world but it does in our world and where you come from the thing is everyone wants a magical solution to their problems but they refuse to believe in magic # and that’s just sad.’ And with that Club walks off without saying another word. I stand there for a moment before Shank pushes me in the back, which made me jump slightly because I forgot he was ever there.

‘Get moving, you lazy human’ Shank said sharply, not wanting to get hurt I move forward.

The room where the master sits is a room much like where a king would sit only its outside and the walls are stone blocks. Everywhere I look is stone, even the building which I just walked out of. We were just along a stone path to get to the chair put out for me to sit on when something catches my eye, the only kind of colour in the grey stone. The tiny wooden door from down the stairs. A plan slowly forms in my head my I make an effort to hide it. Club guides me like I'm blind to the seats and I sit down. Shank and Club move away and go through another door off the right leaving me alone with The Master, as they call him A few feet away I can see a large jar of dark grey smoke. I look down and realise that I'm still wearing my slippers and dressing gown, the only familiar thing that’s happened in the passed, what was it, an hour two at the most or... a movement in front of me stops me from finishing my thought. The master comes to join us. He’s fat with no hair, skin a sick green colour, and red eyes the size of soccer balls.

‘I need you to help me get into your world.’ He said with a booming voice,

‘And why should I do that? I didn’t exactly get an invitation to come here instead when I fall asleep, or what ever, you kidnap me and take me here. If you wanted something from me you could at least show me some respect. And another thing, why would I help you come into my word, all you would do is just take over it and use us as slaves and why would I do that?’ I shout at him, glade I can release some anger out of me, ‘I’m only 13 what use am I to you, the only way out is through that tiny door which I have no idea where that is and the only way I could think of getting someone of your size through is cutting you up and putting you in a dryer to shrink which would take a long time based on size.’ I take a deep breath; I didn’t know I was that angry. I try to read his mind on how this would take effect on him.

‘You must think of another way to get me there,’ he pauses not knowing what words to use next, ‘Thomas, you’re a smart kid, I know that.’ I think that now is as good a time as ever. I stand up quickly and kick my slipper at the jar. It misses but just as all my hopes where fading the slipper sinks into the master’s stomach and bounces back smashing the jar of the smoke. The smoke really is their weakness and I can see why, the master has started to liquefy and sink like goo. Just as I turn to run to the door, I hear a metal sound and turn around. A key has dropped and my guess is that the door is locket and that’s the key that I need. I charge forward and pick up the key almost gagging as his body parts start to dissolve. I notice that any thing that he touched also starts disappearing because my slipper is a liquid now and the chair is a pool of stone, and then I realise that the key would be next so I turn and sprint my heart out towards the little door ten meters away. Just as I put the key in the hole I can feel it running down my sleeve. Click, the doors open and I look back one final time, because I know I will never come back here at all if I get a say in it, and see Shank running at me. Just as I get my head through the door I can hear him screaming,

‘We’ll find you Thomas and when we do,’ close the door shutting off his last words.

I’m Home I think and race up stairs and into my bedroom. Just as I left it, perfect. The time said it was 7:30, mum and dad would still b in bed. I run to their room and open the door. Like any other Saturday dad was reading his book and mum was reading her magazine.

 ‘Dad I’m so sorry but I went to look at the door and they got me, I only just got back,’

By the look on his face I can kiss pocket money good-bye.

Dear Blog 11/6/2012

On the 6th of June, Venus passed in front of the sun (from our point of view) which happens twice in one hundred years, 8 years apart. In order to see the transit you must buy special glasses which block out all light but when you look at the sun and you would see a small black ball slowly drift across it (as seen in the pic! : D) But sadly because of bad weather, we could not see the suns placement let alone the transit. The next transit will be in 2117, so we have no hope of seeing it again. :'(

I don't have a question so that's all

You need team work to work as a team and to listen to others. We found out what we were doing for it by everyone saying what they wanted to do and we all wanted to do different things so it worked well. DJ. did good she typed it and made it look cool .

We did Leo for our thing what did you do?

Dear Blog 30/05/2012

I found out more about the star sign, Leo. The constellation, Leo, is a lion and I found a really good website hers a small quote: 'The Nemean lion which Hercules had to kill as the first of his 12 Labours. This fearsome beast terrorised the land, killing all who ventured near it...' to read more go to http://goo.gl/Oi7Qg. I also found more about the basic rules of angles. Another quote from NCM 4.1, the rules are: 'A. Adjacent angles on a straight line add to 180*, B. Angles at a point add to 360*, C. Vertically opposite angles are equal.' I can't think of a question but when I do, I will edit it thanks for reading! :)

I have read two books this term. I have read so little because I can't really find good books but that was before the hunger games. I read catching fire and mocking jay and they are as good as each other I couldn't decide on the best one. at the moment im reading Gone. Gone is about everyone over the age of 14 disappears but that's not the only thing gone wrong, there's a wall and balls of light but im not a spoiler so I want say any more. That's all for now! What book are you reading, tell a bit about it. Please leave a comment!

Lately we had the school cross country. Although many would disagree but I think it was really fun. I love running and I look forward to going to the northern zones for the last time! :'( I think that the thing I will miss most would be the cross country which could spark some controversy but if you put a positive attitude towards it then you would find it fun as I do. That's all for today!

I am doing well in my goals. I have completed my academic goal which is get 80+ in basic facts test, I completed it by getting 96%! I am doing well in my Catholic character which is I will be more helpful to everyone and cheer anyone up if I see them sad. I can't do my personal goal of getting in the under 15 wellington basketball rep team because they haven't started yet but I have been practising.

I still would like to get 100% in basic facts but i will save that one for next terms goals. I think I can improve in my spelling!

I think that because of camp, I have become more confident with heights and the diving has help me out too. With the task thing, I am better at managing my time and this week I have done a lot better than other weeks!

This is me and Ella at the war museum

                                      The sign at the Museum

On our way up to camp we stopped at the army memorial museum. We all learnt a lot and it was great fun. we looked at all the guns and bullets they use. The museum was not just world war II, but it had info about wars in New Zealand; Maori vs. European wars back in like the 1600. It was so much fun because i love history and i can't wait till high school to do it.
