The Mysterious Island

          The Mysterious Island
“Hooray, It my birthday today”, shouted Johnny as he jumped out of his bed and “bang” he strike his head right through the ceiling. “Ouch” he cried. Slowly he put his hand against the ceiling and pushed the ceiling hard.
As his head got released from the ceiling, he heard his parents calling him, “Johnny, come here” they both called. “Come on Jimmy” said Johnny.

As they walked down the stairs they saw 2 tickets in Johnny’s dad’s hand. Then Johnny and Jimmy raced down the stair, “Are we going to the movies, wof wof wof,” they expressed. “No we are… going to Australia” they said. “Fine, hooray anyway” shouted Johnny.
They packed their luggages and got ready go to Australia.

“Wait a minute, are we going on a boat or plane?” questioned Johnny. “Hmm, I think boat. Johnny and Jimmy dashed into the car and put their seat belts on. “Finally we have reached our destination, The harbor” said Johnny’s Dad.

Johnny and Jimmy jumped out of the car and had a peek at the Titanic, “Wow” Johnny Expressed.
“Johnny, were are not going on the Titanic” said Johnny dad, “Then how are we going to get there” shouted Johnny. “That why we arranged a yacht only for us” said Johnny’s mum.
“Where is it?” asked Johnny.

Then Johnny turned around and in front of him he saw a yacht. “Are we the only ones going on that yacht?” asked Johnny. “YES!!” shouted Johnny’s dad excited. They walked into the yacht
and they sat on the chairs. After a few hours the yacht got uncontrollable and Johnny’s family looked out the window… and “Tornados” screamed Johnny. Johnny jumped, while everyone was screaming. “A r e   w e   g o i n g   
d i e” Cried Johnny.  They all fainted.

When they woke up they felt sand under them. “What, where are we” cried Johnny reluctantly.
“We are in an Island” said Johnny’s mum, “what an Island. Then they started walking, “Mum look, there is a big hole ” said Johnny. “Let's Go” they all replied. It took them a few minutes and finally they got out.

After they got out of the hole they look up and “Wow” they all said, “Flying small Island, beautiful plants and flowers” Johnny started talking to himself. They all heard a buzzing noise “Buzz Buzz Buzz, ahhh a be be big beee” they screamed. “Wait it’s friendly” said Johnny,
“What’s under my leg” Johnny’s dad said
“It a small small elephant” said Johnny’s Dad.
“Everything is upside down Elephants supposed to be big but it’s small and Bee’s supposed to be small but they are big. Let’s find more fantastic things.

They waked meters and meter and then they saw humongous rocks “come on let’s climb” said Johnny’s dad “wait, don’t move” whispered Johnny “we are not climbing on rocks we are climbing on lizard eggs,” said Johnny “Jump and run a humongous humongous humongous Lizard” Johnny’s dad shouted and they all started to run.

After they ran a few miles the Lizard was still chasing them but then a huge log of wood tied in rope came a smashed the Lizard “ Pow, Bang”
They all look up sunshine flashed into their eyes “wait a minute is that Grandpa!!!” shouted Johnny while hugging him. “We thought you died a plane crash” Johnny’s dad said “well I survived it” said Johnny’s grandpa. “Hey let’s take the submarine that I built and get back home” said Grandpa excitedly. They got in the submarine a headed back.

Today I finished of a narrative called the The Mysterious Island. It's about a boy called Johnny and his family. One morning when Johnny woke he was exited because it was his birthday. They decided to go to Australia in a yacht but in the middle of the sea the yacht got out of control and Johnny look out and he saw Tornado. Find out what happens next in the story.


Migration


Today for Inquiry we had to answer these questions

  • When did the migration occur?
  • From where to where did the migration occur? Each group need to download a blank Xpeditions outline map of the world where you can illustrate the migration.
  • What were the characteristics of the people who migrated (e.g., race, gender, and religion)?
  • Why did the group migrate? Was it a forced or voluntary migration?What were the push of pull factors?
  • Did the group face difficulties adjusting to their new environment? What were they? Did they resolve them? How?
  • Did the migrants stay in their new land or return home? Why or why not?
I worked with Jack and Abdurrahim. It was so easy to do this because I had also migrated from my country.

Strategy Place Math


Today for Maths Mr Oglvie's groups was told to find 2 question from student in Wakatipu.
I chose Ofa's and Tai's question because they were really interesting but kind of easy to do.
I found find more that 1 strategy for each questions hard.
The question that I found really interesting was Tai's one because in his question he told us to divide in the first line but when you finish reading the whole question in the 3rd line it said to add.

The Bishop, The Boeing and Billy the Pigeon

L.I: To infer information using clues and prior knowledge

Today for reading my reading group have been learning to skim and scan for events and inferring the text using "I think", "Because" and "I know".
 The Text we were reading is called The Bishop, The Boeing and Billy the Pigeon.
I found writing down the " and I know" hard because I had to write down what I know instead of looking in the text.
