200 word challenge

 Hi guys today in Wananga we did a 200 word challenge. The photo is a picture of a scuba diver and a whale shark. Here is my story and the picture I hope you guys enjoy.

I decided to go for a swim in the ocean because there was a rumor going around that there was a huge sea monster.

Currently right now i'm swimming in the water, today the water looks really nice it's like a lapis blue.

I was swimming around and I saw some fish, some with really exotic colours like Framboise, Oranges, Pinks, and

Yellows. Right now I really haven't seen anything but fish and rocks. I suddenly then heard a huge noise from behind

me. I turned around quickly and then I saw a huge whale shark. It opened its mouth and I started swimming as fast

as I could. I was panicking.. “What if I die here” “I'm going to die”. I decided there was no use in swimming so I just

stopped. The whale shark then opened its mouth and swallowed me. My eyes opened a bit and I realized I was in its

stomach. Its was a pinky purple colour looked around and saw a skeleton.I then realized i'm never gonna get out of

here without a sharp weapon to get me out. I sat down on the whales sharks insides. I deiced to accept my faith. 

Drama

 Hi guys last week in drama we have been doing different types of techniques. The techniques that we used is Levels, Spacial Relationships, Facial Expressions, and Gestures . What we did to practice theses techniques is that we did Freeze Frame. We did some random ones like someone went in first on said they were a random thing and then everyone else has to do the same thing but had to fit into the scene. The less random one is when we used the idea of the script that we read a few weeks back called bullies. I was in a group with Shanaya Carla and Casey, we deiced to do a scene where Shanaya was on top of me and I was on the group she was holding me by the collar ad then we pretending like she was going to punch me. The most interesting thing for me is that when we were doing the freeze frames I actually enjoyed it. My favourite thing was when Miss. Allen told us to do a freeze frame of the titanic. Now here's a photo of Shanaya punching me.

Prediction

 Hi guys today in reading I have finished and now i'm going to be doing a prediction task. The prediction task is when you have to predict what is going to happen next. What do you think the consequence of Denny helping at the accident? Do you think that Todd and the others will change their attitude towards him?
My prediction is that they may treat i'm differently and be more kind, happy and sometimes people might give him free stuff because of it. Its because he basically saved a guys life because if he didn't put pressure on the person wound he would be dead.

Blackout Poem - Digital

 Hi guys today in art we have been doing Blackout Poems again, but instead of using paper we did it on our chrome books. We used a site called 'Blackout Poetry Marker', it was pretty fun to use, there was three stories that you could choose from, Alice in Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice, and Heart of Darkness. I deiced just to use one story the story that I made my blackout poetry from was Alice in Wonderland. I selected a few words, the reason why I choose the words was because the kind of stood out when I skimmed across the work. Comparing digital and paper I say that I enjoyed doing both but I liked the digital one more. The only reason why is because it was more faster and I don't really need supplies to do the poems. Here are the pictures of my poems and i hope you enjoy them.





Language Week.

 Hi guys today in wananga we have a new language week. The two languages/countries that we are learning about is Niuean + Tokelau, they are both pacific countries. The activity that I choose to do first was a writing task. Its when you listen to one of the songs that are linked and you have to write something about a image that you see while you listen to it. Here is the image that I saw but in a writing form I hope you enjoy!.


I see two people sitting on the sand on a beach looking at the waves that are coming towards them. The colour of the water looks like a pure cyan and it sparkles like a crystal when the sun is reflecting on it. The two people that are sitting on the beach is that there is one male and one female, the female has a flower crown across her head with beautiful reds and oranges. The male on the other hand has flowers in his hair. Their hair is flowing in the wind. There is also palms trees that are moving slowly around them. Even though they aren’t near them they can still hear the noises that its making.

100 Word Challenge

 Hi guys today in wananga we are doing the 100 word challenge. What we are doing for the 100 word challenge is that there is a pug wrapped up in a blanket out in a forest somewhere. Now after we look at the photo we have to write something about the picture but it has to bee only 100 words. Here is my 100 word challenge I hope you enjoy

The pug wrapped the blanket around him. It felt nice and warm against his fur but it also felt itchy at the same time. The blanket was on the lighter side of the colours, a light peach, pale pink, and a pale blue. The dark green leaves slowly moved against the breeze. The dog sat up a bit to sniff the leaves. The leaves smelt like it would taste bitter if someone were to eat them. The dog decided to walk around with the blanket around him, the blanket was itchy but it will do. The dog then sat down.Writing Prompt: Affected Bodies, Trauma, and Non-Human Encounters by Janice  Lee - Hugo House
