E.M My Brother's War- Novel Study.

 Kia Ora, Bonjour, Hello, everyone! How are you? I hope you are having a Perfect day today! So for T-Shaped Literacy we were are doing Novel Studies! So each reading group was assigned a Novel. In my reading group, The Kiwis, we supposed to read this book called My Brother's War. The book is about two brothers, William the older braver one that agrees with war, and Edmund the younger funny humorous, one that disagrees with war and They will both stand for what they believe in, even if it drives them apart. I would defiantly rate this book a ten out of ten, I would also give it a five-star novel! The book had death, happiness, Family, Friends, Connection, War, Intensity, and many more things, that you would want to find in a good book. I love this book and think it was very interesting! The slideshow down below has all the activities that I did for the book, and other things too! This whole book and the slideshow took me about 8-9 days to finish entirely. I also found this Hard because it took a long time and sometimes I was confused about what to do. I also found this fun and exciting! Fun Fact: Humans have jumped further than horses in the Olympics. Wow! That's crazy! Please go down below and check out the work I worked hard on and a lot of time out of my day on, I would really appreciate it if you would! (If you have read up to here, good on you!) If I could make my work any better and make it more BTB (Better Than Before.) Make sure to write it down below! P.S If you want to click on the Blue links down in my slideshow, just look underneath this blog post to see them. Thanks, bye

E.M Gallipoli Campaign.

 Hi everyone! How are you? I hope you are having a great day today! So for T-Shaped Literacy, for our Novel Studies, for our last slide, we were supposed to pick one of the subjects and do a presentation about it. The subject that I chose off the slide was the Gallipoli Campaign. I chose to do three slides. One of them was What was the Gallipoli Campaign, What were the cause of the Gallipoli Campaign, How many Soldiers went to Gallipoli. This took me about 1 day to finish. I also found this easy because I have the internet, and I can search things up. I also found this fun and quite fun. Fun Fact: Glitter was made on a Ranch. Wow! I wonder why they made Glitter, and what was it intentionally thought to be used for? Please go down below and check out my work!

E.M My Brother's War- Word Study.

 Hi everyone! How are you? I hope you are having a great day today! So for T-Shaped Literacy, we are doing Novel Studies! The book that I am reading is called My Brother's War. The book is about two brothers, William the older braver one that agrees with war, and Edmund the younger funny humorous, one that disagrees with war and They will stand for what they believe in, even if it drives them apart. I was so happy that I finally finished it! I almost finished the whole activity for the book! The book is very good and I rate it 10\10. So this blog post is about one of the tasks I have to do. It is called a word study. For the world Study, we were supposed to read through the entire book and find words that we don't know or are unfamiliar with. We were supposed to Find the page that the word was on, The context in which you find it, Your best guess on what the word means, The meaning, and the word in other forms, and your own sentence of the word. We were supposed to pick a minimum of 25 or more. I did 35 words. This took me about 8-9n days to finish, I also found this hard because it took me forever! I also found this frustrating and a bit boring. Fun Fact: Movie trailers originally played after the movie itself. Wow, I cannot imagine that happening! If I could make this blog post BTB (Better Than Before.) Make sure to write it down in the comments! Please make sure to check out my work down below!

E.M Blog Contract. Post a piece of Writing.

 Kia Ora everyone! How are you? I hope you are having a lovely day today. So for Spelling, my group and another group were supposed to do the blog contract. I decided to choose to post a piece of writing. This piece of writing was from the second week of the school holidays. I went to a holiday program. This program Katelyn and I went to was about digital things. So we had to tell Anthony (The Teacher.) our dreams and what we wanted to be when we were older. I chose to make a book, then everyone else wanted to make a book as well so we made one altogether. This book is about a Unicorn, a horse, and a dog. If you want to read the rest go scroll down below. This took us a few days to make. I found this fun and exciting! I also found this hard because it took FOREVER. Fun Fact: The Effiel Tower can grow more than six inches during the Summer. If I could make any of this better or if this story doesn't make sense. Make sure to write it down below in the comments. Please go down below and check it out! Thanks, bye,

Chapter One

The Start

Once up in the clouds, there was a young unicorn that lived with its parents in a mystical land. Her name was Sparkles because she had a rare condition called sparkle kill. If she was so sad then she would lose sparkles and if she was so sad and lost all of her sparkles then she would die. Her parents always kept her in their cloud house just in case. But one day she got out because she found a lever and pulled it. Lots of stairs came down to the ground. She went down to see what the world was like. Sparkles and her parents can communicate using their horn. She saw a Butterfly flying around. She got excited because she had never seen a beautiful butterfly! Sparkles started to chase the bunny. She smashed her head into a tree. 5 pieces broke off her 

horn, she found one but she could not find all of them. A fast wind blew them away and before she knew it they were gone. She was so worried. She was about to go back to her parents but then she realized that she was lost and could not find her way back to her parents, maybe they went off looking for her? A few hours passed and she was a bit sad. She still had a little bit of power to find the other parts of her horn. She used the last bit of power in her horn to find out where the missing parts of the horn was. She was missing 4 pieces of her horn. One piece of horn was in a city, one was in a circus, and one was with a mysterious bunny.  When she had found all the pieces of her horn only then if she had all pieces of her horn she would find her parents. She started to Gallop for a while and she was a long way from home. She found herself in the city. 


Chapter 2.

The Whining Creature

When Sparkles made her way to the city she followed the tracker and found out that one of the pieces was in an abandoned building. It was night, she was in an alleyway. She saw a little cardboard box and a blanket… It looked like a home for a little pup. Straight as Sparkles saw that she felt all alone and missed her family, the little spot reminded her of her home. Then she turned around. She saw a door creeping open. On the dark gloomy door it said: “og Pound, ware. Some of the letters on the door must have scraped off. She didn’t really know if the Building was abandoned or new? The building was all rusty and old, it honestly looked like a dump. She wondered why the back door was open, maybe there was someone inside… or something? Straight as she had given up and was about to leave she heard whines coming from inside. She was eager to find out what was in there. She slowly opened the creepy door. As she slowly crept inside, the whines got louder, and louder, and louder. She came across another door. She opened the door in fear to see, DOGS! She had just realized that the sign on the back door that she came in through read: “ Dog Pound Beware.” The dogs were in these secure cages. She felt sad for them. All the dogs were asleep, except the pup that was whining. As she curiously tried to find the pup she saw all the other dogs. There were all sorts of dogs, Dalmations, Chihuahuas, French bulldogs, Schnauzers, Pit bulls, Huntawawys, border collies, and many more. In the dark corner of the room at the very end of the hallway was the whining pup! The whining pup was a fluffy German shepherd. Sparkles asked: “Are you ok?” The German Shepherd showed no response.The pup looked like they were about to cry. Sparkles then talked again: “ Don’t cry, I'm here to comfort you and rescue you.” The German Shepherd said: “Really you're here to rescue me? “ “Of Course I am” “ They took me off the streets and tomorrow… it’s the end for me. I need to escape fast!” “Ok I’ll help you get out!” Said Sparkles enthusiastically. She opened the cage with her teeth and helped the little pup. When she was about to leave and open the door of the dog room. All the dogs woke up… THEY STARTED BARKING! Sparkles and the unknown pup ran out, but they ran out of the front door. They triggered the alarm. As they were almost away from the pound they saw a man. Sparkles said: “Hey that man looks kind!” and started walking towards him. “NO HE'S THE ONE THAT CAPTURED ME!” Shouted the Pup. Sparkles had to act FAST. She looked around for help, she spotted a ship. Sparkles said. “Hop on to me.” They ran over to the ship and hopped on. When they were finally on they sighed a sigh of relief. Then she looked back and saw the pound man. He looked angry. Then Sparkles said to the German Shepard pup: “My name is Sparkles, what’s your name?” Then The German Shepard pup replied: “Trixie, my name is Trixie, I used to live in an alleyway the same alleyway that you came through, I lived in that little box blanket.” Sparkles then knew why the cardboard box was there and why the wooly jacket was there too. Sparkles explained why she was there and where she was going. Trixie’s face was in shock. “Before I got captured I found this glowing thing.” Trixie said as she showed what she had found. “THAT'S PART OF MY HORN!” Said Sparkles happily.


Chapter 3

The Posh and Grumpy Horse

After a while they landed. They seemed to have landed right next to the circus. Sparkles was indeed happy about that! They saw a horse that didn’t like the circus. He looked sad and alone. So the unicorn decided to rescue him at night. Trixie agreed. When it turned night they found the place where the horses slept. They broke in and said “Hi our names are Sparkles and Trixie and we have come to rescue you.” “My name is Lucas and I hate this place but first let me tell you my backstory.” Just after I was born a circus leader came and took my parents away from the paddock they lived in. I, the baby horse also got taken but my fate wasn’t as bad as my parents fate. I got trained to be a circus horse and became very posh and grumpy. I always give everyone autographs. “ I need help.” Said sparkles. “I have lost my parents and since I saved you both then can you help find my parents?  Thanks to Trixie I have part of my horn so we are even closer to finding my parents because I broke my horn and I can communicate with my parents with it.” said sparkles. “WAIT!” Yelled Lucas. “I found a glowing thing on the ground when I was going to this city for the circus.” Said Lucas. “That's amazing!” Said Sparkles. Now all they had to do was find where the bunny lived. They used the tracker.

Chapter 4

Betrayal

“We’re Hungry, We’re Cold, and We’re scared!” Said Lucas and Trixie.”It’s ok just a little bit longer.” Said Sparkles. “You have been saying that for the last 2 hours!” said the other two. “No Just a bit longer, we just need to find the other two bits of the horn, we can do it!.” “No Sparkles we are sick and the only reason we had to come here was because of YOU, I’m leaving, are you coming or not Trixie?” Said the grumpy posh horse. Sparkles looked at Trixie. Trixie looked at Sparkles. “Are you really leaving me? After all we’ve been through?” Said Sparkles. Trixie looked away from Sparkles, trying not to make eye contact with her. Sparkles looked away too, feeling betrayed, and alone. Trixie and Lucas started walking the opposite direction to where Sparkles was walking. Sparkles looked back sad and alone. She was determined to find her lost parents and the last bits of her horn. A few hours have passed since they separated. From nowhere the Circus Leader came and took back Lucas, all he wanted was to get money and become rich again. Trixie ran away and hid. Trixie was all alone and regretted leaving her friend. She still walked to the same boat that Sparkles and her went on to find Sparkle's parents. After Trixie hopped off the boat she headed back to her little alleyway. Straight as she got back she got caught again by the Pound man.

Chapter 5

The Friends Reunited

 She went back to her same little alone cage. Sparkles still walked alone searching for hope to try to find her parents and the last bits of her horn. Lucas was back  at the circus he realized how it felt again.. before Sparkles saved him. That's what happened with Trixie as well. Trixie was at the pound and in a few days she would end up dead like before. Before Sparkles saved her. They both regretted what they did and promised to never be mean to Sparkles like that ever again. They wished that one of their closest friends was there once again, Sparkles. Sparkles felt the same way too. Sparkles turned back wondering if she would ever see her beloved friends again.She had to make it true! She found the bunny hole. She couldn’t fit. So she had to think again. Just when she was about to give up she saw the bunny hopping around going back to the hole. She caught the bunny and said “WHERE ARE THE PIECES OF MY HORN?!” She said in anger. The bunny then said: “Oh I didn’t know that these were yours, here have them back!” Since she had found all the pieces of her horn and her horn was fixed she was able to find her parents but first she had to get her friends back. She galloped back to find her friends. When she went back to the place where Lucas was in the circus he wasn’t there! She was starting to get worried. She found a poster saying that they were in a town a few hours away. She galloped to the town where they were performing in. She found Lucas. She said: “Hi Lucas… Let’s go find Trixie!” Lucas said: “Ok I’m sorry, let’s go!” They both galloped together to get on the boat. When they got back to the dog pound they both  busted in and the alarms went off of course, but they didn’t care at all. All they wanted to do was to find their last friend. They were just in time before Trixie was about to be put down.  When they found Trixie. Trixie said: “I’m sorry! I didn’t realize how selfish i was.” “It’s ok! Now let's get out of here!” They all ran away. They went back on the boat and searched to find her parents. 

Chapter 6.

The End

After they hopped off the boat they all said: “AHH finally nothing else is going wrong!” “You forgot about me”! Said the Circus man. Just then Sparkles used her magical horn to make the circus man fly into the ocean. He said: “NOOOOO!!!!” Now that they had no more problems in their way they headed off to find sparkle's parents. Sparkles used her magical horn to locate her parents. Her parents were worried sick about Sparkles. They realized that it was wrong to keep Sparkles away from the world. She found them in a tree shaped cloud. Sparkles asked her parents if she could have her new friends to live with them because they both don’t have a 

family. Her parents said yes after thinking about it for a second. They asked Sparkles who they were. Sparkles 

brought them to her house to show her parents. They were all now happy forever.

THE END.
