Surf to turf

 2-11-2020

Last Wednesday the year 7/8 at Belfast school participated in an event called surf to turf. Surf to turf is when we run  a certain distance and the we do a bunch of exercises then pull a fire truck it is really hard work. We ran along side the waimakariri until we arrived back at school where we did a plank challenge,sit ups, tire rolling and some other different exercises. Then after we had a little rest we had to pull a fire truck down the rugby clubs driveway it was a fun day but very tiring. in return for participating in the event we each got a McDonald's voucher a badge and a certificate. we had to do six weeks of training to get up our fitness levels so we we able to do our very best on the actual day.The training's were an hour long some were in the morning and others were after school. Some mornings we got breakfast made by the BCN (Belfast community network) it was really delicious. Please comment if you think I need to  work on anything.

Maths chart

 

This graph shows how many blog posts I have done each month

. As the graph shows, I did most of my posts in April May and

June. I think the reason I did so many is because we were doing

Manaiakalani and wen were in lock down and we had to do 3

post a week. And the rest of the months are very low because

I don't blog as much now. On average I did about 3-4 blog post

a month. 

Eye art

 My picture represents my future. It is me holding one of my future shoe designs because I want to be a shoe/fashion designer when I grow up. In the future I hope to create one of the most popular brands in the world. I intend on selling everything you may need in an everyday fashion which is why I am in the city in front of tall buildings.

The magic globe

2-8-2020

Once apon a time in a dark basement there were two kids who found a globe, they took it out of the box and onto the table the decided to experiment on this globe. They turned the globe to  Australia and double tapped on it and they teleported to what looked like Australia. They realized that this was no ordinary globe this was a magic globe that could teleport them anywhere around the world. They decided to stay in Australia for a little bit and then they returned home. They decided to use this globe as a world tracker to track the changes around the world. A couple of weeks later the globe wouldn't work they tried and tried but it wouldn't teleport them. They gave up trying to get it to work they threw it out the window and then the globe started fading into a black dust they first thought it was because of the impact but it sucked up the two kids and they haven't returned since and this was about 35 years ago. And Then they returned but they seemed different...

Locked

27-7-2020

Despite tugging on the lock as hard as he could the lock would not budge. His heart filled with disappointment as he retreated because he heard the sound of footsteps and gun shots. He decided to make a plan as he was drawing his plan of attack he felt rumbling as he walked outside to see what was going on the rumbling got louder and louder he felt a menacing pain in the back of his head and a few seconds later he fainted.He woke up in a locked room it was quiet,dark and lonely.he saw a beam of light bursting through the roof he looked around to see if he could find something to open up the gap so he can fit through it and escape.

 Luckily he found a hammer to smash the rotten wooden roof to pieces  he leaped out through the roof and realized that he was locked in the room he was trying to open that's odd he wondered. He smelt fire he turned around and the shed was burning he tried to run but his foot was trapped under some of the wreckage he screamed as the fire got closer and closer... 

The visitors

1-7-2020

It was the middle of the night when they came.

A typical autumn evening, there was a scattering of fallen, auburn leaves on the highway. Light leaked from a flickering street lamp, which buzzed faintly as the light bulb struggled.

The wind moaned quietly, and the leaves crackled as they rose and fell, dancing as if controlled by an unseen puppet master.

A humming noise was the first sign of their arrival. In the distance at first, then filling the street as it came closer. It hovered several feet from the road, tilting slightly from side to side as if surveying the land around.

A little girl gasped as she watched from her bedroom window. Then 10 green aliens emerged from the giant spaceship with giant machine guns and started blowing up innocent people and ancient buildings... 

The skeleton woman retell

22-6-2020

                                                    Skeleton woman retell 

One dark stormy day there was a man and his daughter. The  man started viciously choking his daughter and pushed her off the edge of the cliff where fish mauled her to death and all that was left was a pile of bones. The fishermen of the nearby town never fished there as it was said to be haunted a few weeks later a new fisherman arrived in the town to catch some fish but no one told him about the haunted spot he got in his boat and sailed out to sea he started to fish in the haunted spot unaware of the consequences that might happen after hours of waiting he finally caught some thing he looked up to find the skeleton woman dancing on the rocks the fisherman screamed turned around his boat and sailed away he turned around to find the skeleton woman following him  dancing on the rocks as she slowly follows him he parks up his boat and ran towards his tent he leaped inside and zipped up the door and lit a candle to see if the skeleton woman was close by he peaks outside to find the bones in a pile he quickly arranges the bones completing the skeleton  then all of a sudden the skeleton comes back alive then skeleton woman wishes for lips so she can kiss, a stomach to have kids and skin to be human then she turns into a girl then the fisherman shredded a tear then the skeleton woman wipes it from his face and hopes into bed and fall asleep the next day the fisherman took her for his wife

These are my haiku poems one is about a special moment and the others are random

I was so nervous
But I was so excited
It was a good time

I was so tired
I shot the ball super far
I was super proud

The wind felt icy
Thunder crashing through the sky
rain breaks like a brick

I am excited
because its my birthday soon
I only get 2 presents

I sit on heater
After I get off I'm warm
It is really nice

The Night Thieves

2/6/2020

I get in my car to go to my friend's house at about 10pm and I see an ant sized truck truck drive
right in front of me. I decided to follow it to the local bank, I closely watched the truck as 5 men in
black costumes got out. One of them leaped in the back and returned with five crowbars. They
sneaked around the back of the building where there was a grotty sewer pipe which leads into the
marvelous bank vault. They all leaped into the smelly sewer where they found it to be soggy
and disgusting that they didn’t expect to find and arrived in the wonderful vault but then the
powerful alarm went off and they quickly got out their bags as they grabbed as much money and
loot as they could. I rang the police. They came right away and they discussed a plan to catch them
out. They went to surround the stinky sewer and wait for the naughty thieves, to return. About five
minutes later they returned from the horrible sewer. “Hands up” shouted the officers
“you are surrounded” I watched the nervous thieves return from the bank in handcuffs...

The Green Vision

15/5/2020

At first it had been an eye; an enormous, lidless, green eye, hovering there above the road. A few hours later, another eye had joined it.

It was then that people had started to take notice. Passers-by stopped and stared, wide-mouthed, at the mysterious vision that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

By the middle of the night, the full green face could be seen. The world was now taking notice. Broadcast on TV screens across the planet, the vision was causing quite a stir. People watched expectantly, glued to their televisions and radios and laptops around the world, waiting for the next part of the puzzle to unravel.Three hours later a strong looking torso joined the giant head. Then two ancient green arms joined the muscular torso,News reporters raced to the scene to catch a glimpse of this mysterious vision. Then he grew legs and started destroying the city frightened people took shelter in building but nowhere was safe,Police carefully surrounded this vicious vision.They tried to stop this vision but nothing seemed to work, whilst the vision attacked the city helicopters collected water to  see if it was immune to water surprisingly it worked it started to dissolve eventually all that was left was two eyes which vanished into the ground everyone was relived that it was all over but their city was totally wrecked.

   

It Must Be Magic

14/5/2020

I held out my hands. I was alone in the forest, and an eerie silence surrounded me. All I could hear was the faint buzz, like a bee settling down on a flower, coming from the thing I held so protectively in front of me.My  hands were suddenly filled with a comforting warmth, as a silvery light pulsed from the object. A tingle ran down my spine.“It must be magic…” I muttered excitedly under my breath... “It must be!”. I accidentally dropped the mysterious object on the damp grass, and it made a big explosion. I sit up and I was in a completely different world, I got up and walked around to see if anyone was nearby. I started to hear applause and cheering, I follow the sounds and I come across a town. I see people crowding something so I go te see what is happening oh my...   

The Invisible Man

13/5/2020

Just minutes before, everything had been completely normal. He had sat eating his breakfast at the kitchen table, as he did every day of his life.

It was only when he looked in the mirror that he realized something was wrong. For several seconds he had panicked, and a sick feeling grew in his stomach. His mouth felt dry and he started to sweat as he sprinted from room to room, trying in vain to find a reflection.

How could this have happened? Of all days, why did it have to be today? This was the most important day of his life. He had to find help. He ran to the nearest doctor to ask if they had anything to turn him back to normal before his job interview this afternoon.The doctor said he had invisibleitis an uncommon sickness caused by lack of sleep,"do you have anything get rid of it before my job interview" he wailed to himself."no sorry" the doctor said with a sad voice, Then he had an Idea, he ran home to search how to get rid of this sickness. One suggested to have a cold bath. so he did just that but it didn't work, and before he knew it it was time for his interview but he decided not to go because it it highly contagious.

The Witch

11/5/2020

The witch hadn’t slept for three nights. The first night she’d spent deep in thought, plotting.
The second she’d spent stooped over her cauldron, muttering evil incantations as she
prepared the foul and odorous brew. On the third night, the deed had been done. Without
a glimmer of remorse, she took flight once again, glancing back over her shoulder at the
wreckage she’d left behind. A merciless cackle escaped her chapped lips. As she arrives
back to her hut in the mountains she notices that her hut is gone “someone must have stolen
the rest of my potion” she shrieked. She flew back to the wreckage to see if anyone close
by looked suspicious but she found no one then her broom snapped in half causing her to
crumble to the ground. Suddenly a giant tree started to fall . “Oh no” she screamed...     

Underneath

6/5/2020

On the surface, everything looked ordinary.The boy in the boat was bored.
He had lived beside this boring river with his boring family for his whole boring life.
Nothing unexpected ever seemed to happen to him. He often went to bed at night and
wished for something exciting in his life. He woke up the next morning to go out and row his
boat on the river. As he rowed down the river the water started to form  a whirlpool around him.
He screamed for help but he was too far away for anyone to hear him. As the whirlpool sucked
him under he saw a giant wooden town at the bottom of the river. He remembered an old
villager told him a legend that a town used to sit right where his town is now thousand of years
ago, turns out the old man was right he thought to himself...

Out of control

5/5/2020

The driver glared at the sight in front of him. He simply couldn’t believe his eyes!
The blizzard continued to swirl all around them, making it even more difficult to steer.
He knew he had to act quickly, or else it would be too late.The distracting whirling and
clanking of machinery all around him didn’t help to settle his nerves, but he knew he had
to wrestle control of his emotions: his next move was to be a defining one. He decided to
jump out of his plane hoping to dodge the blizzard he fell face first into the snow where to
from here...

3/5/2020

He had only been away for a short time.

Upon returning to his home-town, Jake found that it was no longer there: something terrible
had happened. After eventually locating his house (it had moved several hundred miles from
its previous location) Jake stood on top of it and surveyed the calamitous scene around him.
What could have caused such a thing to happen?. Jake noticed that the ground was drenched
with water. Jake looks out to sea and it is really choppy. Then Jake realized that a tsunami hit
his vast town wiping every house of its foundation into a giant pile. But something was
suspicious where everybody was, Jake saw a crowd of people at the top of the hill boarding
a jet engine to get out of this place. Jake ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. But he
is too late the jet takes off, Jake saw another tsunami coming straight for him “oh no”... 

Pobble 365 Dissapearing world

1/5/2020

Piece by piece, the street was disappearing.In the distance a portal shone, sending soft,
golden beams of light out across the evening sky. As the light kissed the clouds they blushed,
becoming pink illuminations that stood and watched the street below like nosey spectators.
I turned around to see the street slowly turning to dust, I ran towards the portal hoping it would
take me somewhere safe. I enter the gold like portal As I come out the other-side The world
starts turning into dust like our town. “Oh no” I screamed. I turn to go back to the portal But this
time the portal starts to dissolve as well, I had nowhere to go then another portal forms a few
miles away. I started to jog towards it. I leaped through it scared where it would take me.
I end on a cloud-land with nothing but a giant throne in the center. Then a giant figure jumps
over me into the throne “Where am I” I asked him, ``Hello, new one welcome to heaven” .
Now what do I do...

pobble 365 the greatest team

29/4/2020
They had been through so much together over the past months and years.
They were well known throughout the land as the greatest rugby team, and every
Saturday they had tested themselves against the best opposition across Britain.
They had given blood, sweat and tears on the rugby pitch for each other, sticking together
through thick and thin. Posing for their final photograph, the greatest team felt incredibly
close; a band of brothers, bonded together through their shared passion, dedication and
friendship.Now that Britain was at war, they knew things would be different.
They would have to test themselves against tougher opposition. Now, they would need
each other more than ever. A few days later the war exploded out of control. The great
rugby legends were asked to help the navy stop the attackers causing more mayhem all
over Britain. Not everyone seemed keen to help but the coach said you've made your
country proud now you need to do it a different way. “OK were in” said the team captain,
“OK here is are your suits and weapons” “now get out there and stop the evil attackers”
“let's go team” as we get changed we hear a giant boom “here we go team”...  

Pobble 365 creature from the deep

28/4/2020

I wake up,eat my breakfast,get dressed and get on the bus to go to work. Suddenly the bus starts to shake, I look out the window towards the sea and see 8 giant tentacles erupting from the ocean. the bus rushes away but the tentacles grab the bus, I hear innocent people screaming down on the street. I have a dog toy in my bag, I throw it into the sea. it lets go of the bus we fall about 10 meters into the sea, lucky everyone makes it out when we make it back to shore I see the monster attack the mayor's office. I run towards the monster hoping to distract it. It turns towards me looking straight in the eye, I stand there trembling scared that he would attack me. The beast wraps it’s giant tentacle around me and brings me towards his mouth, I take a growth pill that a scientist gave a few days ago. He said that it would come in handy, just before I enter his mouth I become a giant. I punched the beast in the head, the enormous creature crumbled to the ground. then I shrink back to normal size. I see the ferry at the end of the pier with the whole city onboard ready to evacuate. I rushed to the end of the pier, got on the ferry and we were off. I see the city crumble under the ocean bringing the enormous creature down with it where do we go now...

Pobble 365 Being Big

22/4/2020                                       Pobble 365 Being Big

MMmmm! I woke up and saw a giant a380 coming down the runway at over 460 miles an hour.
I screamed and stood up to run for my life, then I realized that I was a humongous giant.
I turned around and grabbed the a380 and through it away killing almost everyone inside.
I saw some ambulances coming to treat the people who managed to survive the crash, they-
were closely followed by the police. I should probably run, I thought to myself. So I turned and ran-
straight towards the airport, I leaped in the air and landed on the airport and crushed it to smithereens.
I keep on running until I reach the city center crushing everything in my path.
I stop for a rest then I see a mountain, I decide to climb to the top just to be safe.
About five minutes later the police were up the mountain. “Stand down you are surrounded” they-
bellowed but to me there were like toy soldiers, so I just stood on them and then they shot a-
tranquilizer cannon  at the back of my head. I fell asleep and fell off the edge of the cliff and into the sea.
I floated out to sea “where will I end up next”...

pobble 365 A mysterious shadow

21/4/2020 

                 Pobble 365 A mysterious shadow

I leap out of bed ready to go to work.
I walk down the hallway to go and get breakfast then I hear a creek behind me,
I look beside me and there is a shadow on the wall. “It’s probably my shadow” I thought to myself,
and I kept on walking.
After I treat myself to an immense breakfast I get my keys and go to the garage to get in my car.
As I walk up to the door the same shadow comes back,
I go to unlock the garage door but the shadow on the wall
just grabs the lock and  yanks the lock off the door then he kicks the door open.
I nervously walk through and get in my car, then the door slams shut and I hear the shadow lock it back
up.I realize that the only way out is to drive straight through the front of the garage.
I start my car and slam the accelerator bang I go straight through the front of the garage,
I see the shadow run at me, I speed off the driveway and down the street.
The shadow chases me to the end of the street then gives up.
I get to work to see the shadow standing at the entrance. Can he just leave me alone?
I thought to myself I got out of my car anxiously. He stares at me before charging at me.
I wonder what I have no choice but to run for my life before calling the police but then I fall to the ground
“I have no hope”...

Pobble 365 New York is falling down

16/4/2020                  This is my Pobble 365 New York is falling down story.

Boom!  I see the statue of liberty crumble to the ground and suddenly the road

starts falling away. I sprint hoping I won’t go  down with the road “hey over here”

, shouts a man in a black costume I ran to him just getting away from the road.

Who are you? I said to him he didn’t reply. He just ran off towards the

crumbling road he jumped and he grabs the road and he starts trying to pull the road back together. Then another building crumbled to the ground barely

missing the man I ran to ask if he was ok then he suddenly vanished

into black dust. I stood there wondering how he vanished then I realize

d that the building hit him but from a distance it looked like it missed.Th

en the police arrived and aimed their guns at me “ Hand up or we will open fire”

they shouted then I threw a grenade at them. Wait for it, wait for it 3

2 1 bang! They blew up. Crack I hear something crack I turn around an

d there is another falling skyscraper coming right at me. I know I have grenades and other tools but I'm not like superman and can lift up ten tonnes. I thin

k to myself this is where I die. The man in the black suit came and pushed the

building away “I thought you died” I said to him...
