1950s Slide Show

Badminton-Koru games

The shuttlecock flew through the air heading straight up. It was like a blur. I lunged towards the net like a cheetah. I raised my racket and hit the shuttlecock over the net then it flew down to the ground. Finally the match was over I had won 15-6.

Presenting my Mihi

My Visual Mihi

In the woods (100 WC)

I saw streaks or amber light shining through the snowy trees. I wondered if there was anyone else there, lost like me. "Crunch!" I slowly crept towards the bright fire. I heard a voice, "Hey, who's there?" I kept walking through the mist towards the mysterious person. We just stood and stared at each other. Then we saw eyes in between the trees surrounding us and heard something growl. The boy picked up two sticks and lit them on fire. "Catch!" he said as he tossed the stick to me. "Why do I need this?" I asked. "Wolves" he replied.

The peg

One windy day my friend and I went to the park but as we were biking there we pasted the old wooden peg, a massive peg. No one would ever stop to look. I started to wonder that what if that hill was a room and you could somehow get in. I told my friend but he just kept biking down the dusty gravel path. I slowly walked towards the peg and it just popped open. A cloud of dust came out from inside the hill. I was blinded by gold streaks of light and silver sparkles. I was rich.

The moaning ghost

As the old wooden door crept open, she held her breath and closed her eyes. Certain that these were the last few minutes of her life, she decided to turn and look. She panted as she scampered down the freezing stairs, gasping for breath she came to a stand still. Nowhere to go. She heard a familiar moan coming down the stairs towards where she stood. She shuddered at the thought of who - or what - was coming. She saw a shadow appear through the fog. The creature let out another moan. Then she scramble up the stairs and never went back down.

Hexagon activity

Today we did a hexagon activity in groups of four. In my group I had Nina, Zac, Jack and myself. Where we had to put the pictures into groups based on Newton's three laws of motion. We did this to find out what we already know and and what we need to work on.

Self defence

Today all the girls in our class had self defence lesson with Linda. We learnt lots of new skills. It was a good confidence boosters for all the girls. We have two more sessions left to go and I am excited. 

My goal poster

Favourite object

I remember my toy giraffe it was a normal looking giraffe, orange with brown spots. But it was special it had a cream coloured handle at the bottom and then when you pulled it as far as it could go then let go and it would play calm relaxing music, as it played it would go back to its normal size. I would always pull it to help me get to sleep and then once it was almost done I would be half asleep but then it would finish, I would be really sad and get up and pull it again. Mum, Dad and Haidee would get a bit annoyed. He has moved house to house with me and is always there for me. My giraffe didn’t have a name or i just can’t remember it but it is still in one piece and it hangs above my bed in the corner of my room.

Street Memoir

The town was usual enough; it had

An old country school around the corner,

And a dairy across the busy road, a

Cemetery also across the road by

The school and even a little church,

That I never went to and a hall that

We always went to for school assemblies

My sister, My friends and I

Did what girls do - Ride our bike down

To the dairy and then bike into the

School where we would eat under

The big gum tree while sitting on a

Tractor tyre, Swung on the playground

Like monkeys, and went swimming

In my friend's aunties pool when she

Wasn’t home and swam as fast as

Fish getting chased by a shark

Doing nothing important
