My Best Piece of Writing

This week our task is to write our best piece of writing  it can be about what ever we want. So I decided to writing about the holidays and how much fun they will be. Maybe!


Here’s the good news, For my birthday, my friend Hannah bought me a superpass from Rainbows End. But wait it’s not just for Rainbows End  you can go to Crystal Mountain, Butterfly Creek, Kelly Tarlton's, walking to the top of Rangitoto and  also go up to the sky tower. I know what you're thinking right now, and it’s probably something like, WOW, what a lucky girl.  I agree, but as I alluded to earlier, there are some potential problems with this wonderful gift.


What’s the bad news? Well, how do I choose between my best friend and doing all this fun stuff? It’s hard, but that is exactly what I’ve been asked to do.  You might be thinking the super pass all the way but here’s why that’s not so easy. I want My friend Aleesha to come up to  Auckland and do all that fun stuff with me but she won’t fly by herself. But now that I think about It really need to go down to Levin and see my nan before she leaves for Aussie.

Now the hard decision is the problem, do I choose to have an amazing fun ride or friends and family. Stayed tuned to find out
more after the holidays.



Special thanks to Mr Barks For helping my on this piece of writing.

Waitarere Beach.

Last week we have been given an assignment that includes selecting a favorite place and writing about it. We have been given the task of taking the shot and drawing it in a style of one of the famous artists we are studying


Now folks introducing you to my favourite place... Waitarere Beach! You might know this beach by the shipwreck hyderabad which sank and ended up on the waterfront but don’t try going there now cause all you’ll see is sand.


Waitarere beach brings back lots of memories for me. Memories like having a bach right by the water, rolling down the sand dunes with Moana and Charlie (my cousins) , riding the motorbike with kyle and having a mud fight with all the cuzzies. I especially enjoy the beach because my best friend Aleesha stayed there with me plenty of times and now we both love it so much.


Vincent Van Gogh is he particular to chose as an artist. The reason for it, it is just simply the way the picture flows and how he expressed his feeling in his art work. Especially by all the bright or dark colour to describe how he was felling.


Everyone has a special place that they’d like to be to just have fun!



Special thanks to Aleesha for taking the pic for me, Tyla for helping me by editing and reading over and over to get it perfect.

Angel Experiment reflective writing

Angel Experiment

   This term we have been given the chance to do a novel study. We have been challenged with trying to understand this extended text with lots of new and exciting vocabulary. Mr Barks has asked us to respond to what we thought about each chapter and the vocabulary. To help us do this Mr Barks has been meeting with us and talking about the story so far.  

   I’d like to tell you a little bit about, the main characters in this story. They are not so normal, have a hard life, no parents and were created by mad scientists! Seriously...MAD SCIENTISTS! Their names are Gasman, Iggy, Nudge, Angel, Fang and last but not least Max the leader.
 Max is well.. the mum she looks after them tells them what to do and keeps them under control and out of trouble. Gasman is the one who isn’t afraid to let it off one whether it’s silent and violent or loud and proud. Iggy well it’s sad to say this but he is blind the scientist tried to fix his night vision but something went wrong and now he is completely blind. Nudge well he’s just a plain old simple boy.

Angel is the youngest in the family and one special thing she can read minds. Fang is the second oldest he has always got Max’s back.

   They were raised in a place, a school but not just any ordinary school, It’s really a lab where they were kept in cages because they weren’t normal. Oh and have I told you about the ERASERS well they were used as guards at the school they just wanted to well kill their family and now they’re off to get them. There running for their lives and now Angel the youngest, she is gone. The erasers have taken her and she is now back at the SCHOOL.

   I really hope you have liked my version in this story and if. I suggest you read it, a special thanks to Ramona for helping me edit this piece of writing.
Stay tuned for more on this book.
