Tom Trueheart and the evil wizard

These last 3 weeks we have been writing narratives and these last 2 weeks we have been writing Tom Trueheart and the evil wizard.
I enjoyed writing it in my book and then onto a doc.
I found it tricky to get it finished in the end but I did.
Stem crawled over the stream as snow danced onto the trees. The trees were icy and the ground was snowy as Tom Trueheart crept into Lord Ernus’s lair where he captured Tom Trueheart was a normal man but he  had a sharp  sword and whenever it touched someone they would turn into ice. Lord Ernus was a giant he had muscled legs and arms so he was amazingly strong.

Tom Trueheart crept into  Lord Ernus’s lair while he was dozing away so he stole the key. But it was too heavy and he dropped it.Bang,Lord Ernus woke up and saw Tom Trueheart trying to rescue his 3 brothers and princess brides. He gets them out “run save yourself”shouted Tom Trueheart.”Argh” screamed Lord Ernus as Tom Trueheart stabs Lord Ernus and he steal’s the magical book and sprints out.

Now it's time to destroy the book to reverse every single spell he ever made,Snap the  book broke apart it took a second for the  spell to reverse he  was back to a normal man again and his 3 brothers and 3 princess brides  had 3 kids called Mary ,Ally-a and Mole.

People of Parihaka

In room 1 we have been be learning about the people of Parihaka when the soldiers wanted more land.
I found it easy to get the words off word art and cool text.
I found it tricky to find the albatross feather.

Here is some facts about that time.
An albatross landed on the chiefs marae roof and left a feather behind and albatross's are full of mana so that means the chiefs are full of mana. When the soldier's came the women baked some bread for them and the kids stood on the side of the road and sang and danced for them. So the soldier's felt bad so they didn't kill any one but they took them to prison instead.

Sorry if it is laggy

In a time when dragons threatened mankind. Only one man to stop them. One stormy night Tarragon the ultimate dragon slayer rode on his horse Black bull through the village. Finally got to the desert as Black bull trotted to the dragon's lair. Tarragon was an ultimate dragon slayer with sharp spikes, sword and shield with how many dragons he has killed 18 soon to be 19. As he slowly and carefully walked up to mother dragon she breathes out fire probably as hot as molten lava. Tarragon stabs the mother dragon in the stomach, dead. Mother dragon has died

As soon as Tarragon is about to leave he saw a bit of fire come out of a bush so he slowly approaches it and he sees a baby dagon, he had just killed the mother of a baby. He tries to leave but Black bull wont move a muscle until he takes the baby. But still Tarragon pushes and tries so hard but Black bull won’t move. So he throws away his shield and loaded up the baby.

But he can hear something else two more dragons so he loads them up too. But now there’s no room for him so he has to walk.

After I had breakfast, which was amazingly good, my dad told me to go run around the hotel for a warm up before the game. Freezing, I walked outside. It was so cold it was like jumping head first in snow.

First game against Hawkes bay I played a lovely ball to Flynn who placed it in the bottom corner 1-0. Sadly they scored last minute. My dad and I were extremely devastated.

Last of all it was Whanganui and I won the toss and kicked off. They scored an offside goal but the ref allowed it. Then they scored a handball goal and the ref allowed it. 1:30 drive to Napier.

Climate Change

Today I was learning about Climate change.
I enjoyed learning new things.
I found it challenging to write on the doc.
Climate change
What is climate change and what does it do to our planet? Climate change is different to global warming. Climate change is change to our climate including wind, rain, snow and hail. Global warming is the temperature change through the earth.

People have been burning down the trees in the Amazon rainforest for space for their farmland  but the fires are out of control. There is so much smoke it covers half of Brazil and you can see it from space. The fire is so harmful to the environment because people call the Amazon forest the earth's lungs because it creates 20% of the oxygen, so if people burn it we could lose 20% of oxygen.The Amazon Rainforest is home to millions of  species of animals, plants and tribespeople. People are destroying people's huts and animals habitats.S ome animals are the green anaconda, poison dart frog, orangutans, White lipped peccary, brown throated sloth, bald uakari and the Ukaris.

Another reason climate change is bad is that the glaciers are melting. This is bad because if the glaciers melt the sea level rises and it will flood places like Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Before you know it, New Zealand will be flooded. The glaciers are melting because it’s getting warmer, which means the sea temperature is getting warmer and that kills fish, sharks, octopuses and more.

Fossil fuels. A fossil fuel is something that can’t be reused like oil, petrol, gas and coal. Cars, buses, trains, trucks and airplanes all use fossil fuels. Fossil fuels release a fume called carbon dioxide and if you breathe in carbon dioxide it can kill you. It also releases a fume that heats the world and that's called global warming.

So in conclusion I believe that we should stop climate change and global warming.

Should Caged Chickens Be Banned

Today we were learning about free range chickens and caged chickens.
I found it easy to write it.
I found it tricky to find the facts.
Hope you enjoy my writing
How would you feel if you were trapped in a cage all your life?

First of all they can’t act like chickens. They can’t jump up on stuff and in a cage they’ll get angry and peck at each other chicken and the farmers have to trim their beaks.They can't have dust baths so hey get parasites but if there free range they can have dust baths. Also they can’t even fly around because they are squished in a cage.


The second reason is that they can’t even stretch their wings. The reason is because there cage is as big as an A4 piece of paper. Also there squished up against other chicken and the side of the cage with about 1 centimeter of space. Last of all is they won’t get diseases if there free range. If there in a cage they will get diseases like osteoporosis which makes your bones really weak so if you touch them they could die. Another disease is fatty liver disease which you can only get in the cage not free range


So in conclusion I believe that chickens should be free range because of the diseases and that they can’t be chickens in a cage.
