Georzen’s Creative Writing

Yesterday on Thursday of  September 19 we started a new activity about writing but we have to start a new story after four sentences or five is called lifting a line.It is really simple to lift a line all you have to do is find a picture like abandoned houses or something else also you have  let your mind come up a story. for example for this picture,

 

 

 

“Long time ago deep in the forest there was a house but not an ordinary house it was like an island because there was crystal clear  water surrounding it. When you look at it’s reflection you can see a palace researchers have investigated it for a long time.now…”

 

that’s an example  of my writing   now after you made a story 4 or 5 sentences long the next thing you do is pick the best sentence then start a new story with that sentence

Why Mission Day Is Important To Us

Mission Day is a once a year event at St Patrick’s Panmure where all students collect money for the people from holy angels orphanage in India.

We do Mission Day because our partner, Holy Angels Orphanage and Children’s Home in Kalyanpur, India, needs money and food. So we get food cans like corn,beans,spaghetti  and people like our parents give a donation or do an amount of money, say like 20 cents each question

What is Mission Day?

Mission Day is when we do stands in our schools which do games, wool and clay figurines and loom band bracelets, which sell them from prices of 50 cents to two dollars, then, we donate all of the money we got from stands, donations, and the money we got after how much questions we got right in our test, then we donate them to charity and the needy.

When did Mission Day Start?

Mission Day started from our founder, Euphrasie Barbier, who went to New Zealand to spread the word of God. Here is the Link for more Information on the Holy Angels.

Mission Day is starting on September the 13th so look in our blogs for how much money we raised!

Dragon Ball

Mr Bell had read us 10 of the Dragon Ball books and watched the series, we all loved it but Mr Bell said next term we were going to write our own story of Dragon Ball, we were doing drama of Dragon Ball, heaps of activities and drew the characters. I found the start challenging and the center of the writing  because I couldn’t think on what to do so I looked at other peoples writing for some help. We had to blog a part of our work so here is some of my writing:

 

Goku was fishing for  his family’s dinner. He caught a huge fish on his rod. The fish was really tough so Goku started to pull. Goku heard something lurking in the bushes and he had to let go of the huge fish. Goku was curious what was in the bushes as he got closer The bushes became more silent and silent as Goku got so really close. Something came out and attacked him with something he was unconscious for two hours his family was really worried about Goku. Goku has forgotten what happened so he just came back home and slept the whole day.

 

After Goku slept the whole day Chichi, his  wife and his child Gohan. His child was named after Goku’s Grandfather they were starving so Chichi screamed at him “GOKU WAKE UP!” But Goku did not respond so she tried to splash water on him but still no response then Chichi finally gave up and ordered takeout for Gohan and herself.

 

A few days have passed and Goku has still not woken up. Chichi was so worried that she called the doctor. The doctor didn’t know what happened so he told her to let him rest. But one day at 11:55pm he had woken up but Goku’s eyes weren’t open. Chichi saw him and she hid till he went back to bed.

 

When Goku went to bed, Chichi locked the door till Goku did it again. At the same time Goku started to smash the door open Goku was even screaming after hours and hours Goku. finally gave up and went back to bed. Chichi was so terrified that she bored the door, then at 11:56 he was banging the door really hard. It felt like a light earthquake. Goku managed to break the door open. Chichi heard Goku when she came and hid his eyes were open but it was pitch black.               

 

When Chichi saw Goku she was traumatised by Goku’s looks, she quickly went to Gohan’s bedroom to hide with him  when Chichi was in Gohan’s room he was missing. Gohan had  left his room. He was in the hallway about to go down stairs Chichi was running to a near cabinet to hide in. Chichi came before even Gohan went down stairs. Goku was calling  Gohan to go downstairs. Goku said in a calm voice Gohan   Gohan was about to go down before hearing a whisper Gohan heard Gohan I heard it to not go down.

Chichi held Gohan’s hand and  went to the nearest room  and blocked the door with a cabinet and drawers. GOHAN! Goku screamed at Chichi and Gohan. They knew that their life was over but luckily there was a window big enough for both of them to go in. There was a bunch of hay so Chichi and Gohan jumped  one by one Gohan was first he landed without any injuries but when Chichi jumped she got an injury on her ankle she could not scream or walk so Gohan helped her. When Gohan was helping his mum they remember that they had a tent so Gohan and Chichi slept there. The next morning Goku finally woke up and went to look for his family. After 8 hours Goku saw Chichi injured and asked his wife what happened to you Chichi replied we jumped out the window to escape you me? While I was asleep I was fighting someone that looked like me. It was strong  but after one month I finally defeated it.         

Before everything happened Goku got hitted by a tranquilizer. He was unconscious and was brung to a lab to make an evil copy of himself. It took them a short period of time and took the evil one there.

When Goku woke up he was like in jail. He decided to live for a month then he got bored and went back home little did he know that his evil version was stronger. Goku was using most of his power but did the Ka Me Ha Me Ha! Then his evil version of himself burned and turned to ashes.

OUR PLANNING GONG TO THE STONE COTTAGE

   OUR VISIT TO THE STONE COTTAGE

Yesterday was a lovely day. We were planning to go to the  stone cottage. Luckily we are close to the cottage, because it is just across the road from our school. At the front door we saw a woman dressed like she was from the 1900’s. She introduced herself as Terry. Then as we were about to go inside we saw Patrick, the historian of the stone cottage.

The first room we went to was where we met Josephine,  and she was one of the people who have helped to take care of the cottage for many years. I was interested in the kitchen where they used the fire. 


The second room was the bedroom where there were a lot of interesting things. The one that caught my attention was the potty, and we learned that it was the mother’s job to throw it away and clean it every day. The moustache cup is also interesting because they rested their moustaches on the lip of the cup so the hairs didn’t get wet.  

 

I think that our visit was very interesting because my dad picks us up everyday outside the cottage and I never knew what it was. Now I can share my knowledge with my family.

My swimming lessons

Kamusta everyone. This was from August 1.

At the beginning of August we all went swimming and do you know I didn’t want to miss one lesson. The best part was on the bus singing with one another. Once we got there were  using three lanes. And I wanted to start at intermediate level. My instructor was Izzy. I thought that it was easy but it became kind of hard. I have had lessons for like 1 year but I sometimes thought it was difficult.

When the girls were here we jumped from the wall and I did a roll jump. The next day and lesson we did two types of swimming – one was free style and the other one was backstroke. The best part was the games we played on the last day. I had to race against Patrick. Once the instructor threw the sinker I swam faster than ever I could. Patrick  lost but its ok because I was faster. My next opponent was big Jacob. He swam faster than me. My favourite part was the free style and back stroke.

Matariki

Matariki is a public holiday in New Zealand because it is the new year for the Maori people. It happens in mid winter and this year it was on July 14 2023. The name of Matariki means the eyes of the god.

Maori celebrate new year by spending time together as a family. They also pray for others who have died. They have special food there, and they tell stories about Matariki and look forward to the future.

Matariki stars can be seen early in the morning before the sun comes up. I don’t get up that early to get to see the Matariki stars. We made Matariki stars and we had so much fun. It took us at least 3 or 4 days to try and make them. My star is above and these are our Matariki stars altogether.
