Otter Narrative

Kia Ora viewers,

On Monday my class wrote otter narratives. It was really fun because you can put any twists or turns you like into a narrative.

I found it hard to find more ideas for the story.

The fun part was finding a name for the forest, my forest name was Shimmer-water forest.

 

Otter narrative

In the deep parts of the enchanted Shimmer-water Forest there was a lovely otter called Ozzy. Ozzy lived in the highest oak tree in the forest. He loved taking photos and was very passionate about it. Ozzy would walk around the forest and he’d always dream of his photographs being noticed by everyone, but there was this wise old owl named Hiram that would always doubt that Ozzy would be noticed. He says that Ozzy needs more excitement in his shots.

Ozzy would never give up on his dreams, with full Determination to change Hiram’s mind he wanted to take a unique picture that would be enough to impress him. As Ozzy roamed around the forest he enjoyed the beams of sunlight shining, but he couldn’t find anything. Soon later he stumbled upon a small tunnel through the bushes. He was very curious what could be in there, so he went in.

Ozzy went deeper and deeper, until.. He saw the most beautiful landscape, “a wonderland!” he said. The clouds looked like cotton candy and there were all types of beautiful shimmering flowers and sparkly flamingos, and amazing fruits no one had ever seen before, but there was one thing that caught his attention. In the middle of the wonderland was a tall golden oak tree with long gold branches and lush leaves. He looked up at the tree and saw a golden bird. It was so beautiful that Ozzy did not dare to blink his eyes in fear that it was just a dream. Never in his life had he seen such a mythical bird with a long golden tail, Its fur was scintillating (sparkling or shining brightly) with yellow gold and the sun that points directed to the bird makes it hard for a normal eye to stare as it shines so bright like the sun rays. Ozzy was fascinated! He quickly aimed a good shot with his camera, “one, two, three… Click!” Ozzy seemed to never get enough and decided to take a video for everyone to see, when suddenly the unknown golden bird with a long golden tail spread its wings and flew away into the bright sky.

What a sight! Ozzy was amazed, everything was caught on video. He rushed to find his way back home and excitedly showed everyone all his photos and videos. He desperately raced to the wise owls place and showed the videos, “wow in all my years of living I have never seen anything this enchanting!” said the wise old owl, “You have impressed me, well done.” Ozzy was so happy that he was finally able to prove himself to Hiram that anyone can do anything.

The end, By Zaynab.

 

Hope you enjoyed my story! Comment your favourite part of it.

Cook island Language week!

Kia ōrana koutou. Hi viewers!

Today is the Cook island language. We learnt lots of Cook island things such as Fashion, The food they eat, Art, Myths and legends and more. ‘Ātuitui’ia au ki te au peu o tōku kāinga Ipukarea, means, connect me to the traditions & culture of my homeland. Cook island is a beautiful place. I learnt the fruits and vegetables in Cook island language, Onion :  ōniāni, Pear : pea. Cook islands is a very small beautiful paradise. While we were learning I learnt that EI KATU is a flower crown that you can put over your head.

The word Ei in Cook Island Maori is something that you make that can be worn around your head, neck or hips using shells, flowers or leaves and Katu in Cook Island Maori means skull, head or scalp.

Cook Islands has one of the best lagoons called Aitutaki.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baking with Miss P

Cooking Pinwheel pizzas with Miss P

One time me and my friend did cooking with Miss P and we had so much fun because Miss P let us make our own pinwheel pizzas. Miss P Let us make our own custom sweet and savory Pizza pinwheels.

The first thing she told us to do was get our pastry and put it on the counter but before we put it on the counter she told us to spread flour on the counter. After we got our spread which is tomato pizza sauce. After we got our spread which is tomato pizza sauce and Miss P had lots of options and I picked I picked garlic powder, pepper, paprika and garlic pizza sauce.

Then once we were done putting the toppings we were told to roll it up and cut it into small chunks. Once that was done we warmed the oven and then put the pastries in. Once it was done it came out looking really nice and ofcourse, Miss P let us eat them.

Soon later we made more but this time sweet version and the spread was chocolate Nutella and it was really nice!

After school I decided I wanted to make pin wheel pizzas but I had to do it a bit differently because I didn’t have pizza sauce or pastries, so I used ketchup and dough.  (Although I don’t like ketchup😔)

 

For the topping I used cheese and sprinkled it on top of the pizza and then rolled it up. Once that was done I sliced it into eights. Then after that Miss P baked that. When they were done they turned out amazing, cheesy and delicious.

 

Clifford The Big Red Dog

Hi viewers!

Today, I will be telling you the key features in the movie  Clifford The Big Red Dog.

First of all they have great editing skills because they made Clifford very large and they did that with their amazing editing skills.

Secondly Clifford has a small head and he is really cute. The emotions of the characters were played really well because Clifford could be seen sad and happy even though he’s a dog and it can’t be seen really well.

The camera angles are really good because we can see Clifford’s whole body instead of half. The lighting is really nice and clear and Clifford is always happy and joyful.

I also like the movie because Elizabeth drove the truck really recklessly and the sounds and volume was good.

The owner of Clifford is a good actor and her skills are really good, when she cried I could see that she was crying straight away because of her body language, it was really clear that her face looked like she was whimpering.

The message was that just because Clifford was a big red dog that doesn’t mean he should be taken away and I love that message.

Finding information about someone

Kia ora viewers,

Today room 8 and 9 were spies today.

We picked a blog and tried to find information about them.

I tried to find information from Abhishek S from Awapuni School.

It was hard to find information about him because he didn’t have much blog posts about himself.

My favourite part was getting information from his About me.

Have you ever been a spy?
