My Highlight Of Term 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so this post is about my highlight of Term 2!! I have lots of choices but I can only pick one. Hmmm what would it be?? It would probably be the Go For Gold programme because I get to do I.T and for the this term we did animation and Tiaki and I made an awesome animation about endangered animals!! I really like doing the Go For Gold programme and I want to do it next term! We have learned lots about animation and the I.T group is going to enter their animations they made into the Digi Awards!!! 

Thanks for reading this post!!!

This is my Solar System ( you have to look sideways to see it properly ) and we had to estimate the sizes of the planets and use play-dough to make them. How I estimated the sizes is: There is a big picture of the Solar System on the board and I could see the sizes and I had to make them the right sizes like since Saturn is smaller then Jupiter I had to make sure that Saturn was smaller :D

A trip around Earth

The bulged-eye alien glanced around the strange room as he woke up. He stood up and saw a weird creature staring at him. “Hello! I’m here to show you around Earth and tell you all about our way of doing things! I’m your instructor and I’m a human!” The strange creature announced cheerfully. “Where am I?” The alien asked. “Good you can speak English. Well you are here in my house! The ‘human’ answered. “Come on! I’m gonna tell you all about Earth! Where have you come from?” The human asked. “I came from Mars….” The alien scratched his bald head. “Wow! Mars is a nice place! Anyway come on! Out this door and you will be on the planet Earth!” The alien stepped out the door and his massive eyes became even more massive with awe. He glanced down startled as a four-legged animal came bursting out the door and started twining around his skinny legs. “Argh! What’s that?!?!?” The alien leaped back in cowered with his back to a tree. The instructor laughed. “That is my cat!” “This is New Zealand! It is a lovely place here and it has 4.5 million people in this country!” “Woahhhhhhhhhh!” The alien exclaimed. The instructor started walking quickly away and the alien hurried to catch up. They passed some more people who stared at the alien with wide eyes. The instructor leaned down towards the alien and muttered just loud enough for the alien to hear her but no other person would. “They are people. Just like me so they are not food. Also close your eyes” The alien nodded and closed his bulging eyes. The instructor guided him to a lot of mist that had just appeared. “Open your eyes.” The alien heard in one of his ears. He opened them and saw a complete different place that they were in. “Where, where am I?” The alien moved his gaze from the instructor to the landscape in front of them. “Your at the beach young alien!” The alien saw gold sand stretching out for distances upon distances. He turned his head to see waves of water lapping at the sand. “Alright come on this way!” The human gestured to him and sat down a piece of cloth with a pole dug into the sand  and a round paper look-alike sheltering the two pieces of cloth. “Come sit here and I will tell you all about Earth!” The alien did as he was told and sat down. “Ok so as you saw my cat before that is a pet. We have pets and they are not food! We have cars that we travel around in to get here and there. We have jobs so we have to go there at certain times. My job is a vet nurse and I help look after sick pets or injured pets. Ok thats all I can say for now! There is a lot more things to learn about Earth! I hope you had a nice time here little alien!” The alien blinked and he disappeared….

Cross Country Writing

I peered out the bus window as we pulled to a halt at the dreaded cross country. I jumped out of the bus and chatted to my friend Jaweria wondering what was it gonna be like. “This way!” I heard someone call out. And at once there was a swarm of kids all clambering to be first. Me and my friends trudged along at the near back of the group. “Eww!!!!” I heard from about a metre away. I stood on my tiptoes trying to see over everyone to see what was going on. And thats when I stepped into a big patch of mud. I stared down at my shoes which had gooey mud oozing over them and I quickly side-stepped over to the dry bank of land.

BANG!!!! I shot off like a rocket when I heard the fake gun go. Suddenly a very steep hill loomed over me. The blaring sun vanished behind it because of the height of the hill. I jogged up the hill and when I was almost at the top I glanced behind me, still running, but I could see everyone trudging up the hill. I felt a flash of pride that I had managed to jog up the hill. But I quickly turned back and sprinted along the track.

Soon there were so many holes and rabbit burrows on the cross country track that I was basically twisting my ankle with every step. So it not that good.

I kept sprinting but then I saw some hay bales which you had to jump over. I cleared them then carried on sprinting.

That’s when I saw the finish line!!! I ran down the winding hill and sprinted to get across the finish line. “Yeah! Go Emma!” I heard my parents scream. I flashed a grin at them as I flew past. I threw my gaze down on the ground and shot over the finish line. I ran around in a tight circle to my mum and my step-dad. “That was awesome sweetie!” My mum smiled proudly at me. “Woah, never knew you could run so fast!” My step-dad looked amazed. I panted in their face. “Tha…...nks….” My mum handed my drink bottle over and I grabbed it and glugged it down. Soon there was nothing left.

So that is my cross country writing. This is last years’ cross country because I missed out on this years’ cross country.
