Box poem

Image result for magic box


This week week in rimu we have been working on making our own poems. This is my Box poem. We had to add a lot of different sentences in our poem. I have included personification, Alliteration, Metaphor and similes.  Hope you enjoy.


I will put in my box
The raging loud voices of a ridiculous volcano,
The silent room of a sleeping baby,
And the sound of zachary zuppizich’s great voice.

I will put in my box
Impossible and amazing dream,
All of the premier league teams,
And the shiny sun's beams.

I will put in my box
The jewels from the deepest mines,
colours of the wildlife,
and the summers deepest seas.

I will put in my box
The sound of a giant waterfall, throwing water off the edge,
The sound of waves crashing onto a beach,
The awesome shines of the northern lights,

I will put in my box
The 13th month,
The 5th season,
The 8th day of the week.

I will put in my box
The screaming sound of the tree branches at night,
The hair of a hairy horse,
The heart of gold,
A rugby ball as bright as the sunshine.

A&P Show

I woke up feeling really excited. I had breakfast and then hopped into the car. When we came to school, we got ready to go. I went with Isaac, Zach and Cayde. Trudi (Cayde’s mother) took us in her car and stayed with us as a helper for our group.

When we got there, we had to walk for a bit before we got to the entrance. There were lots of cars there. We first went to the dirtbikes. There were lots of people doing tricks on their bikes. I was really impressed.
I then got some hot chips for lunch. We tried some of the foods in the food village and it was very yummy. Overall, I had a really enjoyable experience and I will definitely go next year with my friends or family.
I was taken by surprise when I got there because there were a lot more people than I had expected.

RainMaker

This is my story I write yesterday. It is based on this video. We only watched to when she saw the clouds. Then we started to talk about the story and what a narrative is. We then went and planned our story then we write it. This is my one. Please give me feedback and be specific. 


The RainMaker


I was looking around, trying to find clouds. No sign of any life around me. The fuel was really low. I could see smoke coming from the plane engine so I decided to come down to a place that was once filled with water. But now was the driest place on earth. Everywhere you look there was sand and cliffs. There were old ships lying around. My family had made a somewhat livable place.


It all started when we were on a small plane, flying from New Zealand to london for a holiday when all of a sudden mid-flight, the engine failed. Everyone else didn't survive. Luckily we all survived. me, my mum, my dad and my sister and little brother. Luckily we used the parachutes to make a tent on the side of a broken down submarine. We were also using fuel from the submarine. It was also giving us shade.


We used the plane’s food supply. There isn't much food left. My dad fixed the plane engine because he is an engineer. There is also a watch tower next to us. My dad stays in the tower all day looking for clouds.

Looking for any signs of live, I was checking my surroundings. We needed to find some water as soon as we could. That's when I heard Dad yelling with joy. He was pointing to something from the watchtower. He was pointing to a cloud. I could hear my dad voice. He was really happy like everyone else. But it wasn't too big. It was coming our way. It was a really small one, was it enough to make rain?...

It can be used to explain things and to teach others how to use diffrent websites. In rimu we have been using screencastify and I think it is a really good learning app.

Fidget spinner

                                         

Introducing a FIDGET SPINNER.
These things are amazing. 
I have one myself and I think this is the best fidget toy ever created.

This toy is taking the world by storm. At first fidget spinner were created for people who had ADHD and autism. 
But now everyone wants one including me because that is my fidget spinner in the above photo. They have many designs and ways that people can DIY (Do It Yourself) them. All you need is a bearing and something heavy to glue on the edges like coins and bolts/nuts. 
They aren't really expensive, they are really cheap and I think everyone should have one

Maui's Kite

In rimu this week I have been working on some free writing. I decided to write about Maui's awesome adventure. Hope you like it.





Maui tuvo que obtener poderes curativos de la montaña para sanar a sus hermanos, ya que quedaron heridos y sedientos de hambre. Maui era el más joven, pero también el más valiente y sería algo para sus hermanos mayores. Trabajando duro para construir una cometa fue Maui para obtener poderes curativos de las nubes para sus hermanos. Una vez que su cometa mágica fue terminada él subió para arriba alto y sus esperanzas estaban para arriba pero él repentinamente sintió los fuertes vientos de arriba y él hizo pivotar su cometa alrededor de él quebró en el lado de la montaña. Maui cayó y aterrizó en un pequeño sendero en la montaña. Estaba a punto de bajar la montaña, pero luego pensó en sus hambrientos hermanos sedientos. Luchando contra la montaña fría y dura fue el valiente Maui, cuando llegó a la cima donde fue recibido por el dios del cielo. El dios estaba orgulloso de lo duro que Maui había trabajado y le concedió con los poderes de sanación de las nubes y se las dio a sus hermanos. Siempre fue amado y cuidado después de hacer eso


English Translation:


Maui had to get healing powers from the mountain to heal his brothers as they were left hurt thirsty and hungry. Maui was the youngest but also the bravest and would anything for his older brothers. working hard to build a kite was Maui to get healing powers from the clouds for his brothers . once his magical kite was finished he sailed up high and his hopes were up but he suddenly felt the strong winds from above and it swung his kite around it smashed on the side of the mountain. Maui fell and landed on a little pathway on the mountain. He was about to head down the mountain but then he thought of his hungry thirsty brothers. Fighting  up the cold hard mountain was Brave Maui, when he reached the top where he was greeted by the sky god. The god was proud of how hard Maui had worked and granted him with the healing powers from the clouds and he gave them to his brothers. He was always loved and cared for after he did that.


I worked with Isaac to make this.

Metting Jamie Duff

Today at YMS, we had the pleasure to meet a World champion sprint car racer, Jamie Duff. It was awesome. He is really brave because he races at 160km and he doesnt even slow down when he hits the corners. His car look really cool. I want to drive one of them when I grow older. It has lots of horsepower and it only weighs around1/3 of a normal car. This was over all a great experience and now I really want to try out sprint racing.
