Reading

In reading, my story is about the Wind Woman. The main points behind this story, is to explain where the wind comes from. This story is about a woman who casts wind, North, South, East and West. The 'Wind Woman' only comes every ten thousand years. Each time she comes, she will do the same routine, from early morning, to late night. I enjoyed this story because, the story had many facts about this, particular subject. I would recommend this story to those who like to read Myths and Legends.

Writing

In my writing, I am writing a picture book. My picture book is about a new girl, Khylah Baulunt , who goes to school and makes a new friend, Louise Albercott. They both turn into best friends and has fun on the first day of school. Something I enjoyed about writing this piece, was making up the story of it. The picture book was based on a true story. So it gave me a clear picture of what I was going to write about.

My Maths Problems

These are some of my maths problems, that I had to do in class. I thought they weren't that hard, but as I started the figure out questions, I couldn't think of different answers, so I had some help along the way.

Advocate for the Poor

Jesus- Advocate for the poor.

An advocate - kai korero is a person who speaks and acts on behalf of others and who pleads for them with those in power.

My Prayer

 Dear God,

We thank you for all the many great and wonderful creations. We thank you for blessing us with food, money, shelter and clothing that we have. We ask you to bless my friends and family and the teachers and students of St. Mary's. We ask you to bless the less fortunate, that they may have hope that they will have the things that we have one day. We ask you to forgive our sins and help us to make the right choices and decisions.

 Amen.

Stranded

Stranded

I feel lost and scared. Its cold and it’s almost dark, I feel all alone and afraid, but I must stay strong, I must find my way home. I look around, no buildings and no people. All that I see is gravel and hills.I am abandoned in the middle of no where. Just as I pivit my head I hear the bus going over the hill, I decided to run. I ran and ran as fast as I could, I then thought to myself ‘I knew I should’ve gone to the gym’.  Quickly, I snapped out of my thoughts and tuned into the real world. I sprinted as hard as I could, but it was too late, the bus had disappeared. But there was one thing that I could see that would help me. It was a road. I decided to follow the road because it might lead me to somewhere.

I  walked along the road for hours and I felt as though I was going cry because I was tired, hungry, and thirsty. It started to spit, I was worried because I didn't have any water proof things to wear. As I walk along the road I saw a small shelter up ahead. I sprinted on the slippery and polished road but I was so desperate that I didn't care that it was slippery. As I dived in under the shelter I felt a sigh of relief. The ground was damp and muddy and there was absolutely no noise. As I waited for hours for the rain to stop. As I wait and wait for hours I start to drift off to sleep.

As I wake up I look around. I hear an engine. I quickly wake up to find myself looking at myself through a glass window. I sit up quickly and realize that the ground was no longer damp and muddy, but there was a soft and fuzzy replacement. I couldn't believe it, I was inside a car. At first I thought it was great, that I was saved . That’s when I realised the bad thing about it.

Who’s car was it’s?

What I like about this piece of writing;
I like this piece of writing because I've structured this piece,  into organised paragraph.

What I can work on next time;
I think I could work on adding more language features and using more complex sentences.
