King of Christmas
Last week, my class finished creating a silhouette art of a scenery from Jesus' birth. What I enjoyed the most was painting the background of my silhouette. What I found difficult was cutting out my silhouette drawings. Next time I will try to add more silhouette drawings. Scripture I chose: Corinthians 2 9:15, Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Captivating Camp
In my school, the senior students (Years 5-8), went on a 3 day camp at Woodend Christian Camp. We had fun activities including Go Karts, Orienteering, Wall Climbing, Aero Jump, Mini Golf, Archery, Air Rifles, Team building and Flying Fox. We also did a game called 'Spotlight'. Spotlight is a game that is played during night time and using a torch/flashlight. A person will have their torch on and when they find another person hiding, they flash them their torch and say "Spotlight!". I enjoyed all the activities but my favourite activity was the Go Karts. This activity made me feel free because I could drive without a limit.
Talking about favourites, my favourite memory was the game Spotlight. All of the students were included in this game. We get to decide which place to hide in and I hid with my friends behind a very large tree with bushes. I believed that our hiding spot was perfect because it was like a hidden cave. Everything was perfect, but, the noise that we were making was extremely hilarious! We kept on giggling and laughing because of our humorous friend (Lucas). We couldn't hold our laughter therefore our teacher and a student found us.
During the time before we got caught, I was moving into a different spot and moved a branch that I couldn't really see. Behind me was Lucas and before I knew it the sharp tree branches slapped his face in the dark. He showed a very hilarious reaction that made all of us laugh. Afterwards, we got caught. Even though we got caught by the spotlight, I enjoyed this game because I had a very good laugh from a friend.
There were also other activities in camp like life-sized chess and the playground. I played chess several times with different chess players. I was a total beginner in chess but I tried my best to win and I did won several times. The playground was enjoyable because the swing and slide was very refreshing and I enjoyed the warm air going through my face.
The last day came and we did our last activities. There were lots of activities that I enjoyed and there were also several things that I disliked about camp (Showers). I enjoyed going to camp because I got to do activities that I liked.

A Paragraph of Emotion
WALT..Use 'show not tell'. This week my class have been practicing to use show not tell in our sentences/paragraphs. Our class had to do a paragraph of describing a specific feeling. I enjoyed doing this because I like this type of writing. What I found hard was using more show not tell with the feeling I had. What did you infer from reading my writing?
I was still on the other side of the hall, waiting for the referee to call me. My whole body felt numb; I jumped, shook and jogged on my spot. As I was inhaling the most air I could have, my heart was making its way out of my throat. It was time to enter the new and slippery mats, my opponent looked straight to shaking pupils. I placed the last gear on my head and sealed it strongly. My gloved fists covered both sides of my squeezed cheeks as I yelled and started to strike.

Pick A Path Story
This last week of term our last activity was to create a Pick A Path Story using Google Forms. I have done this last year that's why I found it averagely challenging.

Ngatu-Tapa Cloths
For the past two weeks, my class had been writing an information report about Tapa cloths also known as Ngatu. What I found hard was creating a proper information report with lots of information. What I found interesting was learning the significance and purposes of a Ngatu. Next time I will add more paragraphs on my information report.
Ngatu is the Tongan term for Tapa cloths. Tapa cloths are a highly respected gift in Tonga because of
the hard work putten to making it and the significance of it in Tonga. Tapa cloths are originally from
Tonga and Tongan women are the experts on making Tapa cloths. Old women are also known for
being experts in making a Ngatu and they are called a “taukei”. In Tonga, tapa cloths are used for
multiple purposes: swaddle a newborn baby, a bed for a married couple’s first night and wrapped
around a body of a loved one. Women in Tonga also use a tool for their designs.

Tapa cloths are papers that you can add a specific design on. Some of their designs are already
made and they are called a “kupesi”. It is wood that has the design lifted and they put the tapa
cloth on the kupesi and start pressing on the paper with paint. The designs on the Tapa cloths
have a meaning behind its design. The designs that Tongan people choose could be their flag, birds,
trees, airplane etc. All of the design they make has a significant meaning behind it. Each town can
have a design they want that they think has a meaning for them.

A Ngatu is made from a specific wood from Tonga; Hiapo, in english, a paper mulberry tree. The
process of making a Ngatu is really tiring in Tonga. In Tonga they cut the Hiapo tree first and peel
off the bark from the tree. After claiming all the bark, they dry it out on the sun and then soak it in
water to make it softer. They start hammering it with a stick called “ike” on top of a long wood called
“tutua”. After softening the wood they start sticking it onto a cloth or another tapa cloth. The glue that
they is made from flour and water, plus kerosene to make it shiny. Afterwards they add their first base
of design and dry it out on the sun. When the cloth dries they make their design more darker and visually
beautiful. That’s how tapa cloths are made in Tonga.

Cell Phones are Toxic
WALT.. write a persuasive text. For the past two weeks we started to create a persuasive text (Should Cell phones be banned?) . What I found hard was using words that can persuade my audience. What I enjoyed was finding out facts that I didn't know about phones. Next time I will try to improve my persuasive writing by adding more facts and using words that can strongly persuade my audience.
Cell Phones should be banned in School
I affirmatively believe that Cell Phones should be banned in School. Cell Phones are extremely distracting, addicting and can be used for cheating. Do you think that they are a good influence for you and/or your children?
It is certain that cell phones are overall distracting for children, and even parents. If your child have their phones all the time, there is a high chance that they also use their phones during class. Children this century always try to keep up in social media, if one kid use their phone others will be influenced to do the same thing. Once they they have their focus on their cell phones they wouldn’t have the ability to listen in class. Students will have no idea what they will be learning about and will have a negative result in the end. Cell phones are indeed distracting.
Cell phones are also addicting. Children this generation can’t take their complete attention off their gadgets. For example, you ask your children to do something for you and they reply ‘wait’ or ‘let me finish watching this first!’. That is because they put their phones as their first priority before others. Everything that children does at their house applies everywhere; our actions starts in the house. If this situation happens in school it wouldn’t be pleasant. Especially students in high school; they need to be able to communicate with others in able to have friends they could bond with. Instead of having their head down low looking on the screen for a exceedingly long time, not communicating with people. Did you know that the vibration of a cell phone can cause damage to your brain? Using cell phones for a very long time is also extremely unhealthy. Therefore, cell phones are addictive and unhealthy just like sugar.
Last but not the least, cheating. Cell phones can be used for cheating when students don’t study for their exams/ quizzes etc. Students are too lazy to study because of cell phones: they use cell phones for cheating. There are many bad influences that a cell phone can do to your child. Students get sneakier the longer they stick with their phones. I strongly believe that children lack self control when it comes to their phones.
Without a doubt, cell phones are overall distracting, addicting and influences students to not study. There are many consequences that a cell phone can do to an innocent child. Therefore, I strongly believe that cell phones shall be banned in school. Do you still think that cell phones should be allowed in school?

Starting With A Key
For the last week of Term 2, our teacher gave us an exciting work in writing. We had to pick a key, draw it and draw what it unlocks. After planning we had to make a story about it and the main topic was the key. I chose a blue key. What I found hard was using different adjectives for my story. I found this activity really engaging because we had to write our story with a mystery. Next time I will write my story with different punctuation.
CEO Blue
Yesterday I received a gift and today I am going to open it. I’m on my way to tell my story to the world and it will be phenomenal.
“Good morning, Miss..?” “Secretary Daphne, call me that”. I wanted to remember my drastic past realistically. “Well Secretary Daphne, my name is David and I will be interviewing you today.” “Please write it well Mr. David” I responded with a soft laugh. “Before we get started may I ask you a question?” “Yes”. I waited patiently as he flipped the pages of his notebook with slight clumsiness. “Oh!, ah, right, Are you still working as a Secretary?”. “No, I’m just taking care of my child for the past nine years...” “Shall we get started then, Secretary Daphne?”. I nodded.
It was ten years ago when I started working in an underground laboratory. There were only five people in a massive blue lab and I was one of them. The CEO, a nine year old boy and two lab experts. Wyndell was the name of the young boy and he had an unidentified power. It was uncontrollable. CEO Blue found Wyndell in this place where the lab was. Wyndell was buried alive so the result was that CEO Blue saved him. After two years the CEO couldn’t handle the kid by himself so he hired me and two lab experts.
“Secretary Daph, could you please bring me the blue key on my table.” I dashed my way without responding and went in his dark office. “Ah!” I tripped on a drawer that was mysteriously...blue? Since I stepped in this lab I knew that CEO Blue was obsessed with the colour of his name, yet, I didn’t knew that it was this extreme. “Was that your first time, Secretary Daph?” “Yes Sir, It was my first time stepping in your office. Here is the key” I kept my posture upright and my tone clear as I handed the key. “Thanks” was all he said.
After the CEO left the lab I was walking my way to Wyndell’s room to give his dinner. (Knock, Knock) “No!” The poor young boy was exhausted and in shock from all the experiments that was cruelly done to him. “It’s Daph. Your food is ready. Can I come in now?” “Yes”. His room had the aroma of a populated hospital full of sick people. “Let me help”. Those three words came out of my mouth automatically because of his situation. Wyndell was so thin and he had dark black circle under his eyes. I stared at him with pity as he ate his food until he finished.
I need coffee! That was all I could think at this inconceivable moment. I raced home straight after feeding Wyndell and overheard something I shouldn’t have heard. I regretted. I wish it’s a dream, it is a dream!...But no. CEO Blue has found the cure. I need to steal the key. The poor kid must live longer and I will save him.
“Good morning, CEO Blue!” I greeted him wholeheartedly for the very first time. He stiffed for a second. “Morning” he said. Did I go overboard? Was that too obvious? I was so nervous that I kept on overthinking with nonsense actions. One thing in my mind sticks to me though, Save the kid. After a while CEO Blue had to leave for a reunion with his family.He was going to be gone for two hours. I knew that time that it was time to make a move. “Look after Wyndell” “Yes, sir. Have a safe trip”. (SLAM, sound of the door)
“Key, Key, KEY! Where is the blue key?!” I whisper-screamed with frustration that I could even feel the smoke coming out of my ears and nose. I forgot that the two lab experts was still in this place. I had to be careful and alert. Fifteen minutes had passed and I still couldn’t find the key. I needed to calm down as soon as possible. “Oh!” I remembered. (Knock, Knock) “Hi there, Wyndell” I sat beside him and smiled. “Daphne, I can’t take it anymore. I want to leave this dungeon. Please, please help me”. He begged like it was the end of the world. I almost dropped a tear because of his unhappy message. “I need the blue key” I forced my tone as I said the colour blue. He handed me a necklace he was wearing and it was right on it. It was unexpected. “I’ll be back soon. Get ready”.
An hour, an hour had passed and I finally opened my boss’ drawer. It felt like the time was moving slowly as the drawer opens. (Step, Step, Step) “Daph?” (Step, Step, Step) It was one of the lab experts. I exhaled, stood up quietly and took every single folder in his drawer. “Daph?” Oh great, two of the lab experts were outside the door. “Farewell!” I said to them and sprinted. I snatched my belongings and grabbed Wyndell. We escaped the dungeon just like that.
“Wow. That was an interesting story, Secretary Daphne. I have several questions left, do you mind?” “Go ahead” I smiled at him and looked at my watch, thirty minutes till noon. In thirty minutes I had to go, to go to CEO Blue’s funeral “Do you know where Wyndell is right now? If not where did you last saw him?” “You see, Wyndell is my son. My biological son” I stood up and waved goodbye. I knew that we will meet again but he will have to find my whereabouts. Until this day I am known as Secretary Daphne.

Ballad Poem
Several weeks ago my class read a story about Ben Hall. His story was a Ballad Poem. After learning more about Ballad Poems our teacher told my class to do one ourselves. Our Ballad Poem had to include different types of figurative languages. What I found hard was making my sentences flow with the rhymes. What I found really exciting was making my my poem about Kpop. I will work on making my poem make more sense next time. (Kpop=Korean Pop)
Just Kpop, I Love it
Just Kpop, I Love it
Eyes glued on the phone, fingers swiping up and down
Before that happened she was on a chair with a crown
“Kpop” she wondered with a mesmerizing stare
Natalie discovered something from a glare
Yet right now her mighty pillow was pulling her hair
Infinite was the name, how unique she said
Searching videos and shows what she knew spread
Step, slide, lie the door waved its body
Shut her eyes pretending like it’s not naughty
Back to work, eat and watch with some sushi
Lovelyz, Got7 and several more
But she had to leave the country and explore
She felt excited to meet new people
Natalie knew she would never feel dull
Oops too much Kpop, for now it’s illegal
School is the place where she knew it’s famous
Asking around like a chatterbox, yet their response were so brainless
All alone and frustrated sulking on one side
Natalie never thought that she had cried
Strategy failed; it was to hypnotise
Months had passed now she knows what to do
Watch Kdrama because it’s something new
Now Natalie nailed knowing numerous names
Plus she can explain how they not look the same
In the end two girls came and that’s how Kpop got its fame

My Holiday
Finally, back to school. During the first week of school our class had to do a Recount. A recount is a story about what exciting happened to you or simply, your holidays. I did a Recount about me and my friends. What I found hard was making my recount shorter and using different time words. It was fun to remember my holiday with them. Next time I will have more vocabulary in my work. Here is my Recount:
Friends are Fun
During the first school holiday of the year me and my two best friends (Amber and Siobhan) went to Westfield, Riccarton mall. Thanks to Siobhan’s kind invite and well planned activity of the day, we got to hang out without strict supervision.
Monday morning, the day I was waiting for. I arrived fifteen minutes earlier than our meeting time because I was extremely excited to see my friends. Waiting, I called Amber because she was still not at our meeting place. Unbelievably she told me that she was still at home. My heart was escaping from its place until Siobhan arrived as soon as I ended the call. I told her about me and Amber’s ridiculous conversation. Not bothering to wait for Amber, we left and decided to buy snacks for the movie.
Wandering around the huge supermarket I suddenly craved for sweets. Siobhan was hesitating to buy something and just decided to not buy anything. Satisfied with what I bought, we went back to our meeting place. Amber was greeting us with her arms folded and said “Call again later huh?”. I checked my phone and saw one missed call from Amber. Instead I said “You’re thirty minutes late”.
We watched a movie after Amber’s tiresome explanation. The movie was so inspiring and I thought that beautiful and gorgeous was not the right word for it, I thought it was beyond glamorous. I could tell that Amber had an innocent mind that she could barely look at a simple kiss. It was so funny I almost laughed out loud in the cinemas.
The following thirty minutes, we walked around the mall to find what to eat for lunch. We decided to eat at SoYo (a yoghurt ice cream shop), since we were still not hungry. I was fascinated by the assorted flavours and toppings that I could put in one tiny cup, it was Amber’s first time and she picked a flavour she didn’t really fancy. We ate with a smile on our faces and chatted about how the movie was incredible.
Finishing the last spoon of our dessert, we decided to blast off and waste our energy at Timezone. Me and Amber shared our turns using our Timezone card because she didn’t have one. The first game we did was the basketball one. Siobhan did it professionally, of course, while I was helping her behind. Amber was cheering for us too. Tickets and more tickets coming out of the machine as we pulled it out and exclaim “Let’s do another one!”.
The time was moving fast but we were moving faster. Ten minutes was left for us to choose a prize. After all those games and tickets we received, we agreed to not purchase any prize. I checked my watch and told the two young ladies behind me “We have to go”. With no more energy I realized… ”We should’ve made the time longer”. Siobhan and Amber agreed with me as we stepped into the cold yet refreshing wind of the mall.
Siobhan’s mum arrived first to pick Siobhan. “Mum can you pick me up at three thirty?” She took the risk to ask but unfortunately she said “No”. We said our goodbyes and realized that I was desperately craving for Sushi. Me and Amber bought our snacks and ate them with a nervous look because we didn’t want her mum to pick us up too soon. Exactly after finishing my food Amber’s mum arrived. I went home with Amber since my mum had work. In the van I exploded K-Pop music that are catchy to engage Amber. Sadly, It didn’t work.
That day, I felt extremely delighted and excited that with my precious friends. The time seemed short but we did a lot of enjoyable activities, especially in Timezone. Next time I could recommend Siobhan to invite more friends. We could also do more activities next time (Like thrilling ones!).

It only has a certain number of words in each line. To make it more appealing we added our own drawings with the poem. What I enjoyed was making my own drawings.

Next time I will improve by using a more interesting app. Where would you like the Olympics to be held next time?

Onomatopoeia Poem
WALT.. Use Onomatopoeia in poetry. Today we learnt about making a poem using specific Onomatopoeia words that comes from a firework. What I found hard was thinking of rhyming words. What I found easy was choosing Onomatopoeia words for my poem. Next time I will add more descriptive words.
Bang, Bang, Bang! Boom, Boom, Boom!
Flew the popping stick over the moon
Crackle, Crack, Whoosh!
Going down to a bush
Pop, Pop! Piew, Piew!
Sparking everywhere as he threw
