100 Word Story Challenge

 Here is my 2nd 100 word story the picture from pobble365.com the forest 

One second you saw it, the next you didn’t. The ghostly shadow vanished once again. She had come too far to turn back now. Goosebumps prickled on her cold, clammy skin, she was sure she could hear her heart thumping inside her chest like a fluttering bird begging to be let out of its cage. Pulling her scarf tightly around herself, she stepped forward into the woods, towards the place where the shadow had been. The fog seemed to be alive. It danced amongst the trees, sneaked and slithered in and out of the branches being the sentinels of the night.

100 Word Story Challenge

 Here is my first 100 word story the picture from pobble365.com the shadow  

It was one dark gloomy night I was preparing to explore an unknown location. I didn’t really know about this unknown location, but apparently every night at 3:am if you're lucky you might even see the old man that creeps around the sight. No one has ever seen him, only his shadow. His boat travels silently up and down the river every night. High in the tree, the door remains shut, lit only by a single light. No visitors are seen, no noises heard, only the slight creaking of the wooden path leading to and from the tree…. BANG!!

The Awesome game we played

In Te Ngahere last week we had a opportunity to learn how to play t-ball. We had a awesome lady call Whaea Kasey come in and teach us. I really enjoyed playing and working together with my team. The thing I struggled with was trying to hit the ball perfect, but on my second and third try I got the hang of it. I hope we can have another game with Whaea Kasey.



Have you ever played t-ball because if you have are you good at hitting the ball?

The Things I Learnt This Week

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about verbs and adverbs so when you have identified a word or phrase it can create a mood or paint a picture in your head. A verb is a doing word and a adverb is a word that describes how a verb is done I think it was a little tricky in the start but throughout the week I learnt more and more and it became easier. My buddy was Dale and we work good together we also helped each other a lot. 


Do you learn verbs and adverbs at your school?

My Day At College

In Te Ngahere on Wednesday me and the year 8s went to Bay Of Islands College for the orientation day. First we had to catch the Bay bus so it can take us, we also had to meet up at the library when we all got there. When we all met up we had some students from Bay take us around and show us the different classes. The classes we went to were metal work, woodwork, social studies, science, PE, art and maori. I think the favourite class I went to was woodwork. Here is the Bay Colleges Link


When your a year 8 are you going to the orientation day?    

Te Huarere

In Te Ngahere we have been learning about te huarere ( the weather ). We have been learning in maori how to say it’s sunny, it’s cold, it’s windy and it’s rainy. We had to get into groups of one or two so you can go off and try to make a news report in maori but first we had to make a script. My group was Chum, I think we work good together and we help each other. The thing I found hard was trying to say it in maori fast.


Have you ever made a news report?

The Awesome Art I’m Doing

This week in Te Ngahere we have been doing art. For art we are doing calendar art. For our WALT we needed to draw continuous lines, draw curves, rule straight lines, select colours for effect and blend colour. I really enjoy doing art and blending colours. The thing I struggle with is trying to use my arm not my wrist to draw the curved bits in the koru, at the end I think I will get the hang of it.
