the writing i'm most proud of- describing keith richards

 The reason I chose this story is because it is very descriptive and has a boat load of language features.

Underneath his  black top hat lays a world of depression. His sharp crystal hair surrounds this world.He looks as dull as morning fog.His wrinkly frail skin contours his pursed lips.This man's pale droopy thin skin gives him a fragile and aged look.The earnings that hangs down gives him a feminine style. Keith s droopy eyes scream" I'm  alone, depressed and I'm sad.

The black gloomy suit that sits upon Keths body has the expression of a biker gang. Leather jeans are as black as a black abyss suit his emotion.Due   to his sad depressive look the background shades his slight bit of colour that isn't there any more he is a sad man.

Reading - Bamboozled



 This is a story about a child who is a girl ,  she went to her grandads house and noticed something odd. It might be planting light bulbs on a bed in his garden ,or  him feeding his pet tiger in a baby chair  or it might be his fish in the TV no not any of this, it is his odd socks. This house is filled with lots  odd things .I think that's why the author calls this book BAMBOOZLED! It was mixed up mayhem like the grandad talking about the good old days and there was cowboys and Indians  this connects to me when my poppa talks about the olden days when there was cellphones and not even TVs.I think the main message is it doesn't matter how different people are .''

We are reading a book called ''the broad street killer."
It is a story about a disease  called  "cholera", cholera is a disease spread by water contaminated by sewage waste, London's authorities thought it was because  of the foul smell London  had.
Doctor snow the one who discovered that it was from the sewage waste  he told the authorities  but they didn't  listen to him he needed to find more evidence . Henry whitehead  set out to discover snows theory. Henry  went to the houses  with a pump nearby them and talked to them  a mother had a baby ,
 and washed  the babies nappy with  water  and tipped it into the sewer then she went to get a drink of water  for the baby and lately the baby had passed away.Henry looked at the pump that went under ground , and saw a crack in pipes  that is how they found out that, that was the problem the authorities  didn't think so   just to be safe the took of the handle to the pump.

Term 3 Reflection


Term 3 Reflection

In term 3 we have done a lot of activities. My favourite  was the production with all the glitters and glimmer. I myself  was in the Indian group. We did an Indian wedding I was the mother of the bride AKA Mancha. We where wearing traditional Indian costumes.

The production included Maori,Indian,English ,Scottish, Filipino, pacific islander,
Japanese/Chinese and African.  

The most successful task was  speeches, I think it was successful because I got into the speech semi finals. I was proud of myself for this achievement. Speeches are for to prep you to speak in front of a room full of people. My speech was about frogs and it amazing talents.

The most challenging thing was  cross country. It was very hard we had to run 2 km!
We ran up mountains, but... I  didn't come a placing . It was very muddy it was so muddy that someone tripped up it the mud.

He said it felt like jack was with him .Chopper got shot but didn't die and Chopper said to jack" go on without me "but jack didn't lesson to him and helped him billy couldn't imagine  to tell his Daugherty that he died.

2. Billy lost a leg in war  and know he has a plastic leg and a walking stick. So he can't run  and do athletics  so he needs to waddle , around that stops him from doing anything physical.

The race a won

I could feel the blood rushing through my veins. When I WAS STANDING ON THE EDGEOF THE WALL I FElt MY heart BEATING NERVOUSLY. BANG !!!  I JUMPED INTO THE WATER FILLED WITH  CHLORINE. I COULD EVEN TASTE THE CRUNCHY APPLE I ATE BEFORE MY RACE. I FELT THE VIBRATION OF THE WATER BOUNCING OFF ME. WHEN I LOOKED UP I SAW THE  FINISH LINE JUST ABOVE ME. I Heard MY MUM CHEERING ME ON and I WENT UP TO SEE MY TIME. I GOT 28 SECONDS. MY MUM CONGRATULATED ME AS I was GIVEN THE FIRST PLACE Card. I WAS SHOCKED. I NEVER KNEW  I COULD CoME FIRST PLACE. I HAD SUCH A BLAST IN SWIMMING SPORTS.
