Since last week in Te Ngahere we have been doing something called General Knowledge. We had to choose a country and answer some questions about that country. We used google maps and google earth to look for pictures and to answer some questions. The country I choose was Italy and I did it because I like there houses. I haven't finished yet but I think it will be incredible by the end.
Have you ever tried to do something that is related to a different country?

Thinking Time
One day a stick figure went for a jog, he saw a comfy bench while he was jogging and sat down on it because he was extremely tired. He got a phone call from his father about his mother that’s very, very ill & about to die!
He ran as fast as a speedy cheetah straight to his parents house to see his mother. He got there & caught his mothers last words, “I love you with all my heart” his mother whispered in his ear, she died straight after that. Both him, his father had tears pouring out of his eyes...

The Start Of A Journey
One day a mother turtle came along to lay its gorgeous egg at shore, a long way from the ocean so she could hide the egg…
60 days later the egg hatched & a teeny baby turtle came out of it, it’s so small it’s as tiny as an ant. It hopped out of its egg & started to use its adorable flippers to get to the glistening ocean.
It has to go a long way because it's decidedly a long way away from shore. Finally it makes it & hops in the ocean & lives an incredible life with her lovely new friends.

The Ghostly Shadow
She was about to leave when she sees a shadow moving slowly & carefully towards her after she sees a bit of it...
She doesn’t know what it was & the curiosity’s killing her. She wants to manoeuvre closer, she’s terrified of what it would do.
She tried to touch it but it manoeuvred before she could even reach out. She tried again but this time she face planted onto the inflexible concrete, then it disappeared so she decided to leave because there was no hope of it coming back that night. She kept coming back day after day until one day...
Last week in Te Ngahere we were doing a T - Shaped about Analysis. There were six texts we got to choose from but we had to choose one among those ones. The text called The Ship was compulsory to analyze. I chose Bilbo Baggins and The Winter. For each text we had to identify figurative language and language features. Figurative language is metaphors, personification, similes etc... Language features are adverbs, verbs, adjectives etc.... My favourite part was everything altogether because I really enjoyed the analysing part of this T - Shaped as you might already know by the title of this blog post.
Have you ever learnt figurative language and/or language features before?

Last week on Wednesday and yesterday a women named Kasey came in to teach us how to play T - Ball. we went in two groups because the year seven and eights were doing Soft Ball and the year six and fives were doing T -Ball. We had to split into two groups and one team are the batters and the other team are the fielders. There are three bases and a home base. The easy parts were hitting the ball and running from base to base. The hard part was actually catching the ball and putting it on the base before the batters got there. You get out by not being able to get a home run when you’re the batters.
Do you think that T - Ball / Softball will be a popular sport in a couple
