What Can You Do To Make Yourself a Better Citizen?

 Today's task was to think of ways to make the world live longer. Here are a few ways. And for you to be a better citizen.

1. If you don't have solar panels, try to turn off the light so its not wasting to much power.

2. When you go fishing and you take fish that is to small and illegal put it back in the water and try again to get a legal catch.  

3.  When your brushing your teeth turn the water off, don't leave it on, that's just wasting water.

4. If your family doesn't recycle try and convince them to reduce recycle reuse. 

5. Try to drive less, try public transport or ride a bicycle, or if you have the money buy a electric car it will reduce the gasses and keep our air clean.

6. When your grocery shopping try and check the country it got imported from instead of taking items from other country's try and take New Zealand made items.

As you can see I have listed some ways to be a better citizen. Try these ways and you can change the world and be a better citizen yourself.  

The Disappearing Day...

 The Disappearing Day…

‘’Swoosh , swoosh’’ went the wind. It was a cold , windy Saturday evening and Jake's parents were getting ready to go away for the weekend. Jake's parents weren't ready to leave their 13 year old son on his own for the weekend. It hit 5 ‘ o'clock and Jake's parents were about to leave. They gave him some rules and hoped Jake would follow those rules…

Later on Jake was getting bored eating , watching tv , and reading. He was bored. So he decided to go for a bit of a walk , just before it got dark. Jake put a warm jumper on and threw his old running shoes on. As Jake was strolling down the street , kicking sticks and stones. Jake saw a mailbox disappear  right in front of his eyes. Jake got a bit worried and decided to turn around and head back home to where he was safe. As he turned around he saw a street that he had never seen or noticed before. Of course Jake was that stupid he walked down it! It led him to a long wooden swinging bridge. Jake walked across the bridge very slowly. Jake laid his hand on the icy cold rail and started walking, the bridge was making seeking noises. Jake ran across the bridge as fast as a cheetah could run because every single step he took a piece of wood would disappear. Jake then got to the other scared as scared as a person gets when they see a ghost. He had no way back. THE BRIDGE WAS GONE!

Jake then realised he had nothing! No warm clothes , no food , no water, nothing Jake was trapped and had no way out! The rail then disappeared so Jake definitely couldn't escape. As Jake reached in his back pocket to grab his phone, it had also vanished out of his hand, Jake had no way out. So all he could do was scream for help…

Multiples & Factors

 Multiples & Factors 

IL: to upload my learning tasks to my blog and write about them

Today for maths we had to learn about Multiples and factors. Personally I find multiples and Factors a bit tricky. Its basically, Multiples is numbers that can be divided by another number a certain amount of times without a remainder. And a Factor is a a number or algebraic expression that divides another number evenly. I did my work in my Maths book so I don't have anything to upload sorry :(

What do you find easier Multiples or Factors?

The Mysterious Paper Bag...

 The Mysterious Paper Bag

‘’Ahhhhh rise and shine’’ said Elise’s mum. . As Elise stumbled out of bed as cold as ice, on a rainy cold winter morning. She got up and stumbled herself to the kitchen, she poured herself a bowl of cereal and gulped it down in a rush. Elise then made her way up the stairs to her wardrobe and got her clothes out for the day. She chose to wear some warm layers of clothes for this cold dreadful rainy day. She then brushed her teeth and hair and made her way down to the front door. Elise threw her bag onto her back and stumbled out the door. She grabbed her umbrella and walked to her friend's house where they were meeting to walk to school. As she walked past she saw standing there her two best friends Alyssa and Mia she rushed over to them with excitement they then popped their umbrellas up and walked to school listening to the pitta patter raindrops hit the umbrella. When they finally arrived at school, They placed their bags down and walked into the mysteriously quiet classroom. When the three girls went and sat down they heard the bell ‘’ring ring ring ring’’... 

When the bell went and the class was awfully silent, a mysterious lady walked in that we have never seen before. She walked in with a long black cloak with a hoodie on. You couldn't see her face or anything. She just walked in and placed a brown paper bag on the table. 

When the bag got put down everyone was just staring right at it for a good 10 seconds straight, until it started to move. It wiggled and rustled and tossed and turned so Mia Elise and Myself decided to walk over and look. As we walked over we saw glowing coming out the top of the paper bag. Then it started to move even more…

After a while of discussion and thinking about what to do the three girls decided to open the bag and take out whatever was in it. Alyssa, Mia, and Elise walked to the sports shed. They put on some protective gear that they would think would protect them from what was in the paper bag. They put on a baseball helmet and a bit more protective sports gear. Then they walked back to the classroom trying not to make a single noise. They walked into the classroom and approached the paper bag Elise opened the top of the bag and pulled out the shiny metal thing. When she pulled it out they were so surprised to see that it was a genie lantern. A genie flew out of the lantern ‘’swoooshhhhhh’’ and it said to the three girls, ‘’ after years and years you found me I will now grant you, three girls, 3 wishes each’’. The girls got so excited and had a discussion about what they should wish for. And that was the end of what was in a mysterious-looking paper bag.

Mias feedback - Really cool, entertaining story. A lot of detail was added.. I would like it if the ending was longer though .

For Writing this week we had to write a narrative about what was in a paper bag, this is my story and I think I did a alright job. When I finished writing I had to get a buddy to give me feedback on my writing, Mia gave me some feedback.

Do you enjoy writing narrative story's?
