Long Distance Friendship

For the last few weeks we've been learning about using different types of punctuation in our writing. This time we had to make a story that rhymes and with our own themes. Here is the summary of my story: Two best of friends known each other for 2 years, became friends after knowing each other for a year. Yet it was time for one of them to leave. Can they still trust each other without contact for a year? I enjoyed doing this because we could choose our own theme. What I found hard was using descriptive words.

Best Friends

December 3, 2021

“Happy 12th Birthday, Popstar Trish!”. “Awww! Thanks Loris!”. A moderately loud music started playing from the newly bought high-tech television of the one and only Popstar Trish. She was mesmerizing the unforgettable moments and memories that she knew she couldn’t return anymore. Watching her friend’s charming face for the third time made her cry for eternity.

5 years ago (2016)

“Hey Trish! Don’t you dare forget to call me, Okay?! I will really miss you!.” Trish gave a cheerless smile and waved goodbye. “Oh, wait up Trish! I forgot to give you this.” Loris gave her a long brown folder with a collage of green pictures and a messy handwritten letter behind the old folder. “Thanks...but I gave this to you though”. “You might forget me that’s why…”

A year later (2017)...

Two different style and Two different places. In the near future they will collide… “OMG! Is that the one and only Popstar Trish?! Yeorobun (‘everyone’ in Korean) look!”. “I guess my vacation must now give action. Cluelessly, I gave attraction”. Trish sighed helplessly and ran in the streets of Seoul. The paparazzis was still chasing her like there was no tomorrow.  

“Where have you been? Why did you leave your phone here? Someone was calling you, I answered it because it seemed really urgent.” Trish’s manager started scolding her for forever. “Who was it? Who called?” Trish asked while packing her things after the deafening speech. ”Apparently she was not in your contacts and she ended the call as soon as I answered...”

Confused with thoughts Trish just felt like flying... “You got me feeling like, feeling like a Papillon~”. Trish practiced singing a cover of Jackson Wang’s song as she walked faster to her studio. “Loris?!”. In shock… unexpected, unpredicted and extremely surprised. “I mi-” “Hi Ms Trish, I have a meeting with you and apparently you’re 3 minutes and 43 seconds late”. Trish was speechless…

“Loris, I can explain!”

“What for?! You lost my trust, Trish! You betrayed me!”

“I’m sorry, I really am. I was scouted by a famous CEO from a very prestigious agency and things got a bit complicated.”

“I called you a million times and you wouldn’t even answer!”

“I’m a singer. I can’t answer calls randomly, it could be a crazy fan or a hater.”

“I’m done with this, Trish. I’m leaving”

“We just met!” “Loris!”. Knowing she didn’t do anything wrong she still felt guilty. She felt like she was to conceited to her. She thought she was just trying her best but she wasn’t…

A week after the unpredicted approach of Trish’s Best friend, she scheduled a meeting with her. “Loris, they say that best friends are people you don’t need to talk to every single day. I know that I didn’t contact you for almost a year but there were also some limit of the things that I do since. Forgive me or not I will be with you like a knot.”

At the end of the day Loris said okay, let’s be together starting today. Joy and excitement was all they could feel and they thought it wasn’t real. Out of the blue Loris starts to quiver she didn’t knew how she could help her. Until… Sobbing and screaming was all people could hear but Trish didn’t hear anything only her friend saying “Sorry I left you without a notice. Maybe that already reached my limit. I will miss you my friend, don’t you dare cry because this is not the end”...

    

Saint Pedro

Last week we had to make a DLO of a saint that we picked. I picked a Saint from my country, Philippines. What I found hard was finding information of my saint. I enjoyed doing this because it was easy. Next time I will add more information.

Last Judgement

WALT..Recognise that the second coming people will share in the Resurrection of the body. We had to answer questions about the second coming. I enjoyed doing this because it was simple. What I found hard was identifying the answers to the questions. I will improve my work next time by adding more answers.

Jesus

WALT..Identify times and places Jesus is recorded as having prayed in the gospels. We had to work on scratch, explaining what we learnt about Jesus praying. I enjoyed doing this because it was fun to use scratch. What I found hard was understanding the topic. Next time I will add more information.

Hatupatu

WALT..Use sequence to ideas using pictures. With a buddy we read a book about Hatupatu and the bird. We had to divide the story into six parts using images. What I found hard was drawing the pictures. What I enjoyed was reading the story. Next time I will make the drawing neater.

Measuring Scales

WALT.. Explore and use a scale to work out distances on maps. Last week we learnt about scales. We had to measure a specific object/ area and I measured the scale of a Basketball Court. I enjoyed doing this because it was easy (Measuring). What I found hard was learning about scales. Next time I will be more creative.

 

Scales

WALT..Explore and use a scale to work out distances on a map. This week I tried to learn about scales on the map. What I found really hard was learning about scales. What I found fun was learning about scales. Next time I will improve by explaining more information about scales.

Using different Punctuation

WALT..Use a variety of punctuation. This week we learnt about adding ellipsis, exclamation marks and speech marks  in our stories. What I found hard was thinking about a fibber story. What I found fun was creating my own drawing. Next time I will make my story using different types of characters instead of people. Here is my story:

The Last Survivor

WALT..Write descriptively using a range of language features. Throughout the year we've been trying to add descriptive words in our stories. This week we had to add the figurative language as well (Simile, Metaphor etc.) What I found hard was applying all my planning on my story and thinking about the deep descriptive words to apply on my story. The exciting thing was the cliff hanger on the end of my story. next time I will add more figurative language and think more descriptive words without guidance. 

During a bright and warm day, there were miniature objects flying around the endless blue sky. A young boy gripping a fragile paper plane like he could end his life if he moved a single finger. Groaning echoes under him made him more anxious. They were his precious friends and he was the last survivor.

The wind was a warm wave, entering and filling his lungs with the aroma of summer. His heart skipped a beat, he was extremely nervous. Nothing could be heard but the wind gushing, wings flapping and the giant animals roaring for the young boy to lose his grip and be devoured.

He was beginning to change his angle as the wind started to vanish. He was preparing to land. Lost in the woods while holding his torn paper plane, He felt a warm drip of water go through his face. Reminiscing the memories that played in his mind. Revealing the truth was like being a traitor to his friends. What did he do so blameworthy?
