Duffy

On Thursday the 16th of February, we had a duffy theatre show at the multi purpose room and the main characters were Duffy, Ruby and Phil. Duffy liked to read a book about doctor who. The way he told us the name of the book, was Knock Knock!/ Who’s There/ Doctor/ Doctor Who?, And that’s and he told us the name of that book while he was in his bed that was standing up. It was a bit funny at the beginning when duffy’s neighbour Ruby, was an old lady and walking like her back was really soar. The when duffy went over to Ruby’s house and had a boogie with her, at the back of her caravan. Then duffy got to look at Ruby’s photo album with all her photo’s in it and her dad as well. When Ruby went back to when she was 4 years old, a plane flew by and Ruby’s dad got called to war out in Crete/Greece. When he went ruby was all sad and duffy was feeling sorry for her. Then Duffy saved Ruby's dad in Greece. 

Going To Technicraft

Yesterday I was suppose to be going to softball but I forgot my notice at home. So instead of going to softball I stayed at school in Room 12. When we were in Room 12 we had to do work and other stuff, Until the bell rang when it was the best bit because we were going to technicraft. At Technicraft we make berry smoothies.

When we were at Tamaki College our teacher Ms Tuipolutu took us inside and we sat at random tables. Then we had to get our bowl's of mixed berry's at 2 frozen bananas and put them together, and after we put it together we had to go to Ms Tuipolutu. When we went to Ms Tuipolutu and we got some milk to put in our bowl and let it rest. Then we got yogurt in our bowl. The we mixed it a bit and then put it in a blender.

When it was done we drank it all and sat on 2 tables and talked about our smoothies.

Liverpool stormed to the top of the English Premier League table for the first time since May 2014 after they hammered Watford 6-1 on Monday (NZT). Sadio Mane scored twice and Philippe Countinho, Emre Can, Roberto Firmino and Giorginio Wijnaldum got the others as Liverpool moved one point above Chelsea. Countinho had already hit the wood work before Mane got things rolling with the opener and Coutinho and Can made it 3-0 at halftime. Roberto Firmino added a fourth in the second half before Mane got his second and though Daryl Janmaat grabbed a consolation, Wijnaldum scored the sixth to send them to the top.

Rock Garden

Rock Garden

Tomorrow Ruapotaka school is going on a trip to the a place called the Botanic Gardens. When we get there I want to go and visit the Rock Garden because it looks like a nice calm spot for people to kick back when the sun shines. I also want to go and check out the Rock Garden because it looks nice on the photos that are on the Botanic Gardens page. When we get there I hope that we can go explore on our own as a class.

Circus Lions Return To Home

Thirty three lions were removed from circuses in Peru and Colombia during surprise raids organised by Animal Defenders International. 

Almost all of the lions have had their claws removed and most have had broken teeth. One lion has lost an eye and another is almost blind, making it impossible for them to survive in the wild. The lions will return to Africa in a week, after spending years in South America. The wildlife defense group has worked with authorities to crack down unlawful wildlife use and trafficking to rescue the animals.

Fisherman Catches 363kg Black Marlin

An Australian fisherman says that he feels sore after pulling in a 363kg Black Marlin on Wednesday in Perth. This big monster fish took the fisherman 3 hours to reel in.

The catch would have smashed the previous record in Western Australia for the biggest black marlin ever caught (296kg), but after two hours of fighting with the fish, Milne needed help from his friends to keep him upright, which is against official game fishing rules.

The 25-year-old, who caught the fish weighs just one-fifth of the marlin (He weighs 72kg), he said fight with the fish was the most painful experience of his life.

How To Write A Narrative

When you write a narrative it has to be like a made up story that hasn't even happened or ain't real. If you are telling a story about something you did, then that isn't a narrative either. It is also need to have where it took place at, When did the story took place, How did the story begin and also Who was in the story. I have written a narrative which is called the last survivors, if you want to see it I will leave a link to my document for the narrative.

A narrative mostly needs a Simile, Metaphors, Onomatopoeia and also Personifications. You need to use the senses like the smell, taste and the eye sight. Right now about to end my quick explanation on how to write a narrative and I hope you have learnt how to write a narrative. The link will be down below.
