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, 

Eden.

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.

E.M Remembering- Torty The Lucky Tortoise.

 Hello, everyone! How are you? I hope you are having a wonderful day today! So my class Whenua is working on something new for T-Shaped Literacy. Can you guess what it is? We are learning about Anzac and some of the animals that went to war. So we were supposed to choose a story that was on the class blog and read the book. Then we were supposed to pick something off the chart and do that certain activity. There were many activities to do, but you can't do the same activity for the same book. So I chose to read Torty the lucky Tortoise. Torty is a Tortoise that was found by Stewart. Stweart took Torty into his home after she got ran over by a wheel. Then she went through a lot of things, she got stolen, found, in a fire, and through hibernation. This is the first activity that I chose off the chart. The activity I chose was: Are there any animals or natural settings in your book? If yes, draw and describe them. If no could there have been? Draw and Describe them. So I drew Torty and what she looked like, I also described her. I found this easy and hard. I also found this fun. This took me about 15 minutes to make. I also decided to write my text, and the text is down below this caption. I also put a picture of what Torty looks like. Fun Fact: Tortoises are ancient, Tortoises have been around for over 200 million years- longer than lizards, birds, mammals, crocodiles, and snakes. Thanks, bye, Eden.

Torty is a small tortoise. She has two-wheel marks on the top of her shell. When she was found, by her owner, she was around one hundred years old. While currently, she is two hundred years old. She has faded marks on her back. She is grey, black, and a very light orangey yellow. She has two little cute nostrils and a cute innocent face. She has lost some toes on her back toes. Her feet are scaly and rough. Overall she looks adorable.

E.M Persuasive writting.

Kia Ora everyone! How are you? I hope you are having a great day today! So my class and I were supposed to pick someone and something to persuade someone about. I chose to persuade my parents to get me a beloved cute furry companion. A dog or a puppy. I have been wanting one for six long years! Hopefully, this will persuade my parents. I found this very enjoyable because writing is my favorite subject in school. I also found this hard cause it took me quite a long time to write and finish. This took me about a few weeks to finish! Please go and check out my work down below! I hope this is good writing. Bye, from Eden. 

Dear Mum and Dad,                                                                                                                                           It's Eden your beloved favorite child here! I believe that we should get a dog\puppy. (Please consider my letter.) I know that you are currently open to get a dog, and I know that we have to save up the money of course, also this may sound like I'm trying to rush the process, but, could we maybe get a dog this year or the next? I really want an adorable puppy or dog that I can cuddle and play with. I mean, I've been wanting one for six long years! Anyways, here are my reasons why.

- I won't be sad, alone, or bored.

- It will encourage me to get off my Chromebook and to get outside more. 

- I have a fish so you know I will look after a furry Canine.

- if the dog or puppy is lonely while I'm at school Mum can take the dog to her work. 

- There are many dogs out there that need a lovely, kind, forever home and some of them are abandoned and neglected. 

Why I want a dog\puppy.                                                                                                                               To Mum and Dad, I wouldn't like a puppy... I would LOVE one! Puppies can help you in many ways, here are some of them. Puppies can be supportive during stressful times, there is proof that puppies can make you happier, Puppies keep you silly, Puppies are here to play never to judge, Puppies are the cure to sicknesses, Puppies grow up to be loyal friends, Puppies are unbelievably cute, Puppies make you happier and if your happier then your better to be around, Puppies are playful, loyal, and silly companions.  

Here are some of the benefits of having a dog. Dogs make us happy, dogs are loyal, we're more social with dogs, dogs keep us healthy, we're more active with dogs, dogs are a cute madness, dogs teach responsibility, growing up with dogs has heaps of good news, a dog at home builds confidence, dogs offer protection, dogs teach kids unconditional love, dogs can save your life, dogs can detect illnesses, dogs build up the immune system, It is scientifically proven that people with dogs tend to get less sick, they're great for cuddling, and they are pretty DARN cute! I know that there are some side effects of having a dog but... let's not think about all that. Let's think about all the cuteness and all the good benefits of having a loyal furry friend! 

Equipment and Money.                                                                                                                                      Although having a dog means cuddles, kisses, playtime, and a best friend for life, there's one thing that a dog NEEDS, Equipment! The equipment that a dog needs are food and water bowls, a collar, a leash, an ID tag with a phone number, a dog bed, dog wash equipment, dog grooming equipment, and other things. I know all these things will cost a lot PLUS veterinarian care, PLUS the dog cost itself. That's why I've come up with a plan\deal. We put aside money for a dog and all the things it needs, but I know that the deal might seem quite unfair for you, So maybe I could do chores every week and be your slave then you could put money aside every week. (Or I could just do nothing and you put the money aside every week, but if I do the jobs and save up it's MY dog but if we all save up then it will be a family dog.) Dogs cost between $100-$7000 dollars on TradeMe, which is quite A  LOT of money. 

Conclusion.                                                                                                                                                        In conclusion, I hope that you have agreed with my terms and say yes to have a dog. Like I said at the start, please consider my letter and bring my letter into mind. I think that we have all learnt something today, that Eden should get a dog. (Lol.) Thank you Love you,

Sincerely                                                                                                                                                             Eden.

E.M Persuasive writing- Pros and Cons about Zoos.

Hello everyone! We are learning about Persuasive writing. So my class and I were supposed to pick something off Write About to write about persuading someone. I chose the pros and cons of zoos. I am honestly on both sides cause I love visiting animals and seeing them in real life, but on the other side I feel bad cause they might be isolated and kept from their natural habitats.  This took me about 2 days to finish. I found this cool and fun cause I really enjoy writing! I found this easy cause I am experienced at writing. Maybe next time I could write more about the pros and cons and maybe next time I could actually pick a side to be on. Please go and read the text down below! Thanks, Bye, From Eden. 

Pros and Cons about Zoos.

Pros: Seeing Wildlife, Close up interaction, A Close Glimpse at the Wild Life.

Cons: Keeping animals isolated, If they are alone they might become sad and lonely, It's stealing them from their natural habitats. 

Pro= Sometimes it's good to keep animals in the zoo cause if they are injured or disabled it would be better if they were looked after by the zookeepers and it would be safer to keep them in the zoo than the dangerous wild.  Once they are better and are healed the zookeepers can release them into the wild, back to their natural habitat. 

Con= Sometimes it's bad to keep animals isolated and lonely. They should be released and be happy, they might miss their families and friends if they lived in the wild before they moved to the zoo.

E.M The Tree of Life.

 She Held hope in her outstretched hands, Kneeling gently on the ground, she prepared herself for what she knew she must do. The cool water trickled through her muddy fingers, and the soft, black earth felt comfortingly warm on her palms. 

Planting the tree of life would mean a new beginning. The opportunities were endless...

Feeling the excitement course through her quivering body, she lowered the tree of life into the small hole she had prepared. It was time...

It was a sunny, hot, scorching day in the ver hot, Australia., well isn't it every day? Stella whispered in her head.  She was watching her creepy old neighbor Mr. Grass Worm, While he was cutting down all the trees in his front yard.  Stella always thought he was weird. Stella and her family moved to Australia 5 years ago, she lived there for exactly half of her life.

When Stella first moved into her new home Mr. Grass Worm was a happy cheerful man, until his wife died from Cancer. Ever since the incident happened, he had always been grumpy, sad, most of all SUS.. Stella just thought he was sad because of his wife dying or was it something else? 

Well, back to what Stella was actually doing. Stella was planting a tree, but not just any old tree, it was a special tree, the Tree of Life! She recently got this tree from Mrs. Oldie. Mrs. Oldie worked at the plant shop down the road. The old lady always felt like she and Stella were connected somehow, so did Stella. So she gave Stella a special plant, called The Tree of Life! The Tree of Life could bring life! It could plant millions of more trees, but only if she planted the tree first. 

So she started to plant the tree. The tree had to be fully grown first then the millions of trees would be planted.

After she planted the special tree, she went inside. The next morning the tree was massive. It was almost ready! Then she saw Mr. Grass Worm trying to cut down the important tree! She ran downstairs. Mr. Grass Worm saw her, then he hurried aways into his old, creepy home. While he was running away something small fell out of his pocket. It looked like a small diary. 

She picked the small book up and started to read it. She was horrified. In the book, it said '' How I shouldn't have killed my dear wife''. She was shocked! Straight after she finished reading the sentence in the book she looked up at his house. He was standing there behind the curtains staring at her out the dusty window. He glanced creepily at her. He started to write something on the dusty window while blood dripped down the window. The sentence said  '' Your next''.

Samoan New years Traditions

Hello How are you? I hope you are feeling well! I also hope you are having a great time in Quarantine and isolation! This Week in Whenua we have mostly been learning about Matariki! So for the activity, we have to research on other countries' new year's traditions. On Wednesday we researched Chinese New Year traditions and on Thursday we could pick a country that we wanted to research. I researched on Samoa because my Dad's Side is from there and some of them live there. This took me about 1 day. This was easy and hard. The easy part was probably when I had to research the traditions there. The hard bit was when I had to write it and insert some pictures. Thank you for reading this and have a great day!  Bye from Eden.

E.M Book Review on the stolen stars of Matariki!

Hello How are you?? I'm doing great I hope you are great too! All of Whenua had to do a book review on The stolen stars of Matariki. This took me about half and hour. This was easy and hard. The hardest bit was probably cause and effect. The easiest bit was probably when you had to draw the pictures and when you had to describe the characters. I hope you have a great day! Bye! By Eden.
