Character Study

Alan is a child in six people. He’s the second oldest in his family. Mum, dad, his brother ben who was fourteen. His youngest siblings Beth and Fin. And then there's him. He is ten.

Alan is very caring. In the story Queen of the barn we see this when he cares his cat to the vet and it took him 30 minutes to walk there. Also, he took off his jumper and covered the cat to the vet. This shows that Alan is very caring. He is also very hard working. Because he has a part time job and saved up $470 dollars. He is very thrifty.

Alan is a very interesting character. He is caring and kind very nice and is money wise.

Sports Camp tshirt survey

Walt: make a survey

This week we are focusing on statistics. The green group had to do a survey on sports camp t shirts. These are level 4 graphs. The pie chart shows the percentages. The line graph and bar graph, immediately shows that most people wanted the sleeves t shirts. The easy graph was the bar and pie graph because I did it on line. It was tricky doing the line chart because I kept messing it up.

In conclusion, most children wanted sleeveless t shirts.

Cantik the tiger

Walt: write a report/narrative

On the 28th of August 2013 a Sumatran tiger named Cantik had died in the Wellington Zoo in New Zealand. The zoo keepers were very devastated, because they had to euthanasia her. She was suffering from a malignant. Animals should euthanasia because it wouldn't hurt them if they pass away. It is easier to put them down then hurting them.

Most people that go to zoo usually visit the tiger but know maybe the people at the zoo could make a power point about Cantiks life in New Zealand. She had lived for more than 20 years. Tigers that live in the wild live for 10 years, and when they live in the zoo they live for 20 years. Cantik lived for 21 years.

There are about 200 tigers left in the wild and in the near future they might be extinct.She had 20 off springs and most of them were sent to Australia and some still live in  New Zealand.

Cantik means beautiful in Indonesian. I will miss the “Cantik” tiger very much.

Popplet on the skin

Crystal - Collage

Today we finished off our collage of our passions. My passions are Vans, swimming, music, sports and the NRL team Panthers. We had to chose a shape that we liked and inserted the photos into the photos to make the shape. It was a good experience.

The Skin Story

Walt: write a story with a theme “always take care of your skin.”

During the holidays Tammy and I went to the skate park in Glen Innes.

When we went there we saw these three boys. Their names were Damien, Henry and John. Tammy and I were not  told never to challenge them at skateboarding tricks because they were the best skateboarders in Glen Innes. Anybody that dared to mess with them either got a sore head or bruise and grazes on their body. We were ignorant of this.

Tammy could see the three boys were being bullies to some of the local kids. I was sure enough that Tammy didn’t like that. “ Pick on kids your own size, you three bullies!” Damien turned around and called over the other two boys.

“What did you say?” said Henry.

“You heard me, pick on someone your own size.” John looked at his group of boys and grinned. “If you think you’re so tough then why don't you challenge us to a skate off?”

I looked at Tammy, shaking my head saying no.

“You're on.” said Tammy.

“Okay first to finish the course wins.” Henry said.

“This its going to be way easy.” laughed John. The group of boys looked at each other and giggled.

“Okay, on your marks, get set... GO!” They all zoomed past me with a poker face. Tammy was at the back of them slowly making his way to the front. Just then, Henry tried to push him off his skateboard. But that did not let Tammy stop him from coming first. He pushed with his legs as hard as he could and then was in tie with Damien.

“You're going to  wish you never wanted to step foot in the skate park.” Damien shoved Tammy off his skateboard. Making him fly off his skateboard like a bird. Damien won. Henry and John were cheering and smiling while, Tammy was lying on the ground with a big graze on his leg. Blood was dripping and it looked like it was getting worse.

“Come on, lets go.” I said.

We went to Tammy’s house. “ I don’t want to tell my mum about my sore.”

“Why?”

“Because, look at it.” said Tammy angrily. “You have to always look after your skin, if you don’t you could get sick or it could get worse and lead on to an infection.” Tammy sighed. “Yeah your right.” Tammy called his mum in. She washed it with clean water and dried it with a clean towel. Put some ointment on and put a bandage over it.

Few weeks after that Tammy and I were back on our skateboards riding around Glen Innes.

Theme: Always take care of your skin.

Clean hands are the best!
