Reflection On 2012

I have loved being in room 20 for 2012. 
Some of my highlights of this year is safe cycling, cricket, camps, swimming and rock 'n' roll. I really enjoyed writing also this year because I could share to other people around the world including my family and friends. I don't want to leave room 20 even Parkvale. I will miss all the year fives!

The Bracelet (Chapter 8)

Chapter Eight

Hospital Mahim  

Wow, what a busy week but finally we have a weekend, it took decades to get here though. I got out of bed early on Saturday I don’t know why. I was even up before Mum which isn't normal, I sneaked out to the fridge and stole some fruit and nut chocolate. It tasted like I was in heaven, it was a delight. I made my breakfast and headed off to the little store I saw last night.

As I was walking through the park to the shopping centre, I heard someone's voice behind me that I knew so I turned around. Then there right sitting on the ledge was my little brother playing with his friend Andrew by the water fountain. I was just about to ran and ask why oh why he was out here at 10.00 o'clock in the morning when “splash” my brother went flying over the edge of the fountain, it wasn't a pretty sight. This time I actually ran to them physically. I looked over the wall to find red blood drifting around in the water in those few seconds I didn't know what to do. I leaped into the water with fright and picked up Johnny and his friend by the hand and put them down on the concert.


Lights were flashing everywhere, I felt a bit sick actually this was all too much. Mum came rushing towards Johnny she had tears in her eyes, Johnny had things coming all out of his mouth I couldn't even believe how majorly hurt he was, it was all the same for Andrew his mother was crouching over him talking to him quietly.

We ended up in hospital up at the top level, where every doctor there was in this place was looking at him. I couldn't think straight with everyone rushing around it was so hot and sweaty. Mum called me over, I hopped off the high chair I was on. “You look very hot darling? I nodded and touched my cheeks I reckon I could fry a sausage on them. Mum wiggled out of the seat and pulled me down to the very bottom at the front door.   

She got some money out of her wallet and handed it to me then wandered back up to Johnny. I suppose I was to go and buy myself something at the little dairy on the other side of the street so I did.

Kitty Cat Art

Today room 20 did some art. We had to draw a cat from instructions then make it colourful in any way we wanted. I found it quite hard to draw the shape but the rest was really fun. I named my cat "Bella" cause that's my cat's name. I hope you have a go and like mine!

Bracelet (Chapter 7)

Chapter Seven
Home Alone

New place, new things to see. I walked off towards a little shop sitting at the corner of the street by school. The house’s down here were all pretty old and dreary they all looked the same.

This little shop was kind of quirky, it looked like one of those little sleep outs. I peered into the window, all I could see was a little kitten sitting on a bed and a small lizard sunbathing on the light. I looked up at the racked sigh kneeling on the roof, it said “Pets with Paws.” It looked really run down, I will come back tomorrow earlier.

I walked home to find Johnny playing with his food on the table, so disgusting. There was a note on the table:

Be home late tonight, just got some work to
catch up on. Make your own dinner. Mum :)

Oh man, time to make dinner! I got out the nacho chips and chili beans. I’m not the kind of kid that loves to cook but I like eating the food. I put the nachos in a bowl and got a sauce pan out, then I chucked in the beans.


After eating my scrumptious dinner (more like cold and tasteless) it was almost 6.30pm and that's exactly the time Johnny goes to bed so I said good night and put him to sleep with a story about cars, trucks and noise machines. I sat in bed reading my new book I got out of the library at school. “Hunt or seek” my mind was so stuck in the story

"I was running through the forest all I could see behind me was a giant bear, I gripped my sword with fear and kept on running until..."


I heard a knock on the door, “Open up Sophie” I wondered to the hallway, Johnny was playing with the lock on the door. I pushed him aside and opened it, Mum came rushing in with hundreds and hundreds of bags obviously from shopping. Johnny jumped into bed without a word after Mum came and told him off.

Bracelet (Chapter 6)



Chapter Six
Confused

You know those days that you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning and that's exactly how I was feeling this morning. Mum came into my room...
“Get out of bed its Tuesday, school day.” She opened up the curtains, I closed my eyes so the sun wouldn't blind me.

I threw my books into my bag with my computer and jumped into the car. I didn't talk to Dad at all or Mum. I just didn't feel up to it after yesterday's talk. While we were driving to school Mum brought up what I knew she would bring up. “Hey! I heard that Dad talked to you about the bracelet! I think that you shouldn't worry about it much yet.” I didn't want to talk about it!

“You know that Dad said not to talk about this,” I replied. Mum didn't say anything after that. I jumped out of the car and said “Good bye Mum.” She waved then zoomed off down the road. I came to the gate just before school at least this time it wasn't my first time seeing it. I walked across the field to the courts.

Suddenly out of nowhere Emily popped up against my shoulder! “Hey Emily!” I smiled at her.
“I was just wondering what class room are you in for Literacy?” she asked.
“Oh! Mrs. Allen’s class, shes really nice.”
“Yeah, I know she’s my teacher too.” I walked into my class and waved to Emily.

At last the bell rang! “Hello class, today for maths I have a project for you to work on at home and also at school we are now for the next few weeks making our very own answer machine”

Everyone looked at her weirdly and put their hands up. I didn't know what a answer machine was either, but I was too scared to ask. “Annabell do you have a question?” Mrs.Allen asked. “What is an answer machine?”
“Oh! its a machine that's answers your questions.” That answered lots of my questions, not!

I walked out of maths a bit confused but I knew she would explain it over and over again tomorrow until our ears had had enough. I kind of doodle towards my next class until the bell rang then I really had to run before I got in big trouble.

Rushing in through the door wasn't the greatest idea but at least I didn't get dentition. I scurried over to Emily and sat down next to her and tried to pay attention to what my teacher was saying but it didn't really work. Emily was drawing a picture while looking up at Mrs. Allen. It was quite distracting for me.

I had a sneak peak! All I could see was a black woman with long wings on her back, it looked like Cat Woman but in a different version.

Bowling (cricket)


Learning To Bowl from Kieren Moriarty on Vimeo.

We have just started cricket lesson at school. Last week we learned how to catch also throw but this week we were doing bowling. It really fun to get out in the sun!


Reflection On Cricket  


· Something I was pleased with was how well I could do my bowl at the end of the lesson because I have never been able to bowl.

· I really enjoyed learning all the games we played because they were all really fun and got you moving.

· Something I found hard was to keep my arm straight.

Something I want to get better at is always keeping my arm straight and not doing a throw.
(I can practice by keeping my arms straight)

The Bracelet (Chapter 4 and 5)



Chapter Four
First Day Of School

First day of school today and I am not that excited more like feeling a bit shy and nervous. I always make friends but sometimes it's really hard to fit in with other people from somewhere totally different. I am now in intermediate and it is my first year.

        
I walked out the door shouting at Mum that we needed to go, she still does not realise that if you get there after the bell you will be in detention. But I got out the door around 8.30 when school starts at 8.40am, so that was a relief.

I made my way through the corridor to my maths class. People stared at me and started whispering, it was kind of scary. This school seemed huge it had doors after doors after doors, I don’t know how people got around this place. I finally got to where I wanted to be, as I glanced at the teacher she just had to come and walk right over to me. “Hello! You must be Sophie I assume?” I nodded and smiled (not like I meant it or anything) “Well, welcome to your maths class. My name is Mrs.Allen and I am your teacher for maths and literacy” She paused and smiled at me. I just kind of glared. “Is something wrong?” Mrs. Allen asked “No! of course not” I mumbled, then I took my place at the front of the class.


The day flew by like the wind. When it came to lunch time, I felt pretty comfortable and took my lunch and sat at a table. As I was about to take a bit out of my sandwich a girl walked over and sat down right next to me. It was awkward for a few seconds “Hi! my name is Emily, are you new here?” I gulped.
“Yes! Why anyway?”
“Just wondering, Whats your name?”
“Sophie”
“Nice name”
From then on we sat their for the whole of lunch time talking to each other, so I suppose its not that hard to make friends with someone.    


Chapter Five
Past to the Future


When I got home that day Dad was in the kitchen washing the dishes. “Hello Kiddo how was school?” I replied “Fine”
I walked off into my room and layed on my bed. I stared at the writing on the wall and flicked my mind back to that very night. I just needed to know what that woman was up to, so I walked out to the kitchen.

“Hey! Dad”
“Yes Sophie?’
“Um, Can you please answer me this time? What was that woman doing in our house? You know who I am talking about”
Dad stopped doing the dishes and actually turned around this time. He pushed me into the spare room and shut the door. Oh! No!


“I knew I should've told you this ages ago, but I thought you couldn’t take it all in so nows the time I tell you. A long, long, long time ago in the world there used to be a famous warrior. One day he came came across an ancient God from the beneath, now this God carried a golden bracelet on his arm with three charms, one with a time capsule another with a watch and the sun. He was going to give up his life and had to still keep safe this bracelet of his, safe from the devil. Once he meet the warrior he knew he was the guy so he passed over the bracelet and took off.”

“You expect me to believe this?” I gasped. But he still carried on!

“That warrior was your great, great, great grandfather, my grandfather passed it on to me so I could keep it safe but bad things have happened in the world lately and that woman their was trying to find the bracelet she has already got the three charms but needs the bracelet.”
“So where is it?”

“In the S.A.S secret undercover vault.” My mind was spinning with ideas, all this time I had been thinking about this stupid woman but never knew. “Don’t tell anyone Sophie otherwise the world is at an end.” I turned around “How?” Dad had already gone back into the kitchen before I could ask. But all I could think of was the past.

The Bracelet (Chapter 2 and 3)

Chapter Two

Haunted House

Everything was supposed to be exciting when it came to moving house but that was what my Mum said. When I walked into the new house, I just knew it was going to be exactly like last year (it wasn't that good last year). The house was old and creaky, it smelt like smoke that had been drifting around for years. The floors were covered in dust they didn't even have carpet or had been vanished. I walked into the kitchen it almost made me want to cry. The walls were green with mould, the colour was horrendous bright pink and light blue. I made 
it to my room without falling to pieces luckily but still my room was the worst. The wallpaper was halfway down the wall, my window had a huge crack through the middle, the ceiling looked like it was going to collapse, but the thing that made me scared was the writing on the wall saying “You're next”. I ran for it.




Chapter Three

10 o'clock Robber Time

I dragged Mum into my room. “Mum look, look, look at that writing!” She stared at me and then stared at the wall “Sophie are you serious? That was probably some stupid idiot who wrote that you're twelve and you let that get to you.” She walked out of the room pretty amused with herself  but I knew that wasn't any kind of writing, it was that robber. “Oops,” I shouldn't of said that, now I have to tell the story. All right, but very quick.

One night I was sitting in bed reading my book and everybody else was asleep. It was about ten o'clock when suddenly I heard footsteps coming up the hallway. Now I didn't want to shout or scream so I just sat there watching my door. I sat there for a few minutes until I realised that I needed to check what was out there. So I crept to the door and pushed it open a little bit, all I could see was someone covered in a black suit and they were picking up things of mine. That's when I couldn't control my anger. I swung the door open and ran for that person with my book (hard cover) I approached her with my book and smacked her over the head! Which wasn't any good
.

My Dad came running in and stopped. She was holding a gun on my full head but luckily Dad already had other plans. In with a “bash” came more than twelve soldiers filled with armour and gear you wouldn't know what they were. The lady jumped and smashed the window with a leap, she flew out into the bright night. Just remember that was the short version. After that I kept on questioning Dad “Who was that lady? Did she have a jet pack?” But I never got a answer, he would always pretend he couldn't hear me. Let me just tell you I was only five years old.

The Bracelet (Chapter 1)



It all started with that stupid bracelet that I found. If I had not picked it up and tried it on I wouldn't be in all this trouble now. But I suppose you want to hear the full story, so it all started right back to the start of the year.


Chapter 1 

Me And My World

“Sophie! got all your stuff?” Moving, moving and moving it was always a pain and today was that day, packing bags, chucking them into the truck or what you call van. I was so tired of moving and changing school but I got used to after awhile because we did it all the time. My Dad is a secret agent he works for the S.A.S which of course stands for Secret, Agent, Spy, so that's the reason we keep on moving  because of Dad and that job of his it's his fault. But Dad says “You can’t always have everything Sophie”. I just ignore him and walk off. But on the other hand my Mum has a ordinary job she is a school teacher at North High School, that's where things get tricky between the two jobs. A S.A.S that always has to move every two months or so or a High School Teacher that can’t move at all.

So Mum had to quit her job and just had to, had to become another S.A.S. Now I am so angry at Mum for giving up her easy and not so complicated job and going for a more lets just say complex job. “Grr! Parents never understand life”

There's one more person in our family, that is my little brother Johnny. I can’t describe him in any other words then disturbing, annoying and a show off. I know he is only six but once you get to know him he is like a clown but with no humour so he carries on and on and on and on and never gives up.

Read, read and read

This holidays I read five books. They were called:


  1. Diggers- Terry Pratchett
  2. Billy and Old Smoko-Jack Lasenby
  3. Kasper the Prince Of Cats- Michael Morpurgo
  4. Dear Olly- Michael Morpurgo
  5. The Travelling Restaurant- Barbara Else 
These books were all really good and are my top books. But I had one that really stood out for me it was very interesting I read it nearly in two days. This was my favourite paragraph in the book-

She waded to shore. As she set her foot on land, a shiver went through her. The look of victory in her exquisite face increased. But then her outline shuddered. She raised her hands to the crown, and her fingernails went right through it as if it was pudding. The crown had started to dissolve. It trickled onto her hair. Her hair melted too, and then her face, her shoulders- dissolving, seeping- her arms, her clothes. Lady Gall was a melted pool upon the platform- steam sizzled from it. - The Travelling Restaurant By Barbara Else 

It was a great book and I hope I can get the second book. Make sure you read one of these books!

The Eye

I was bored to death, nothing to do around the house, all my friends had gone on holiday or were out with other friends. So I decided to have a stroll down the beach by myself! The sea was so calm and it looked like a big blue blanket. The sea was beautiful but the wind was chilly, the sand squelched between my toes it was all wet and soft.

While I was walking there were adults chatting, children playing in the sand with spades and buckets, dogs swimming in the ocean. It was such a hot day it seemed like everyone was out on the beach. The flags were flapping wildly in the wind like they wanted to float off into the air.

All the shells were hiding in the sand with the crabs but wait... something big and colorful was drifting on top of the water not so far out. I took off my shoes and step into the water, it felt like I had just been put straight into a fringe. I waded out into the water until it came up to my knees, it felt terrible having soggy jeans on my skin it felt like I had a rash all over my legs.

I stared at the thing for a while, then I picked it up and turned it over. Everyone must of thought the world was going to end. I screeched like I was in pain but I wasn’t. There was a big bugling eye staring right back at me. I dropped it in horror and sunk my head into my hands. Suddenly I felt something wet and thick cover my face. I took my hands off my head and screamed again, at the moment you are probably thinking I am just a scaredy cat, but no. Dripping from my hands down to my top was blood! Bright red, oozing blood it was everywhere even down my nice new top I brought just yesterday.

I had to have another peek at the thing. So I urged my hands forward, dug them under the waves and flicked my head away and felt the thing with my fingertips. I put my hands under the rock hard shell and slowly brought it out of the water.

I had a sniff and that's when it got worse. My nose couldn’t take the smell one bit. I turned my head away, it smelt like old fish. I glared back at it and touched it, once I pulled my finger back, it was infected with this slime. It looked like my dogs spit. I just had to report this into the life guards!

I ran up the beach like a maniac and skidded between the people on the beach. I couldn’t hold onto the thing for too much longer, it was just disgusting. People gasped at me with big eyes like I had hurt their child which I had not! I had just pushed them aside. I finally made it, I climbed up the stairs in a hurry then dropped the thing on someones desk.

The man frowned at me and looked down at the thing. He stared at it for a few seconds then gulped. “Hello there young lady! What have you brought to me?” I smirked in a kind of way then replied “I don’t know?! It was floating in the water”.

All of a sudden a huge man came scampering into the room with a magnifying glass and checked it all of over even the inside of it. “Mam I think you have just discovered a squid or whales even an octopus eye, its incredible.” “Yuck!” “May I do some studying on it?” “ Sure! keep it man why would I want it?” I walked out of the room and hurried home before Mum got home and saw my blood, red, soaking top. I ran through the kitchen. Mum glanced at me and went red with anger, before she could say anything “It’s a long story anyway I never liked this top.”
A couple of days later! Mum came running in with the newspaper and shoved it in front of my face. I read the heading out loud “Young Girl Discovered A Huge Eye”. I knew at once after the heading that I didn’t need to read anything more or Mum would find out. So I scrunched it up and chucked it into the bin. “ I swear you were there, didn’t that picture look exactly like you?” I smiled back at her “Don’t be silly Mum I didn’t find an eye, even if I did would I even touch it?” “ I suppose not...” Then she walked out of the room!

Reflection On Optimist Yachting

Reflection For Optimist Yachting
· Something I was pleased with was how I controlled the yacht and helped others if they needed help because I like yachting and I can help others, so they can learn.
· I really enjoyed learning how to control the in the wild wind because it was really fun and I learned lots.
· Something I found hard was kayaking in a strong current with white tops.
Something I want to get better at is kayaking by my self.

Parkvale Live Poster

Today we had to make a poster to do with our production recently "Parkvale Live"!
We did it on this really cool website, all you had to do is come up with a saying and put the picture in that you wanted, it was really fun :) I did the rock 'n' roll because I liked the picture and they were really good at putting on a show!



Maths Problems

Today at maths time we did a few maths problems!


The first one: What numbers have factors of both 5 and 6? List as many as you can!




Can you think of any more?








The next question was: What might the missing numbers be?

5_2-__4=68









Felicity and I worked together and we got ten, it was really easy once you got the hang of it. Here is how we work it out!

The last one was:  What might * x ^ = 2280 be? How many different answers can you find?     
Can you think of any more?
Felicity and I didn't do as well on this question it was a bit harder for us, but we did get a few like the 20x114=2280 and 228x10=2280. It was really fun doing all these problems it made our minds think! I always enjoy maths thanks to Mr.M:)

Production Diary Part One

21/8/12
Day One
“Hi! my name is Natasha” it is only a few weeks until the production has to be put together and perfected to the end. I don’t know where to start all I know is that I am excited and freaking out, its not everyday that you stand on a stage and perform to fifty or more people. I almost forgot, I am the commenter for “Who’s Got Talent” you know the show the one where people sing, dance and show talent pretty much. Today I thought I would never get through all my lines and know them all off my heart, its hard! You have to practice and practice and don’t forget to practice again and once more for good luck. We are nearly going to practice on stage so I hope I get them right!

22/8/12
Day Two
I am back again but now I really know lines and it wasn’t that hard after all. Guess what we did today? you got it we practice for like a hour and a half. Practice, practice and more practice it just goes on and on and on. But I still had fun! We listen to all the “Who’s Got Talent” contestants and man they were good at hitting those notes especially Gabriel and Alice, listening to them feels like I am in heaven with the angels!









Mistakes Happen

Get those lines right!

Aboard The Plank

I was being pushed by the fierce pirates on to the plank. Their swords swang around my head and  scratched my legs till they bleed, like roses were growing around me. I shuffled back until I was on the back of the plank and could no longer step back.

“Jump in the water boy let those sharks rip you to pieces” the captain screeched. I looked down into the dark, blue sea and he was not lying. Cycling below the plank was hungry sharks and I was sure they would glob me up in one huge snap of their teeth. I tried not to think that I was about to jump into water that was filled with man eating sharks but it was too hard.

So I went for it and flung my legs into the air without thinking about what I was doing. “Splash” I could feel my arms hit the surface of the water, but not only to my horror I could also hear the sharks grinding their teeth together. I closed my eyes and wished for the best, I could feel something touching my back. I was going to die!

“Josh wake up” I looked to find myself face to face with my Mum. It was only just a dream or was it?     


I saw my brother (Jack) writing about some one jumping into lava and I thought I might have a try and turn it into my own version!

My Room

The fuzzy fluff of my cat swirls around my bedroom, my wall covered with flowers like millions of fields filled with daisy. My teddies all huddled up in one bunch like they want a friend. The sun shines through the open windows and lightens up my room like a torch in my eyes. My old draws sit at the back corner like it's been in detention for years.


My creaky door swings open and shut as the wind blows against it harshly. My things scattered thin and wide over my desk like they are having a party and taking over my room and of course my kitten sleeping quietly at my side, purring away like she is having a daydream. This is definitely my room!




Mr. Pukeko

A little friend came to visit this after noon and have a look around the school yard. It had a little peak and then raced off on a journey to some where. I tried to get a video of it but it didn't work that well because the little creature keep't on running away!
