BEACH DAY!

 This is my narrative about the beach. I hope you enjoy it. 

The day has finally come. It was beach day. I had all of my

things packed for the beach. On my way there I remembered

that I needed to pick up  my friend Kiarah. When I picked her

up she was um well over prepared. She even had Ice cream and

some cool drinks.

When we got to the beach everyone was there. We played volleyball and it was awesome.

I got tired so I sat out and actually starters to sleep, on the sand. I think I slept for like 30 minutes

until Kiarah threw the volleyball at my back so I woke up. 

When I woke up I could hear the waves crushing on the beach. I could also hear the palm tree

shaking and the birds chirping. I could also hear all my friends laughing as well. When I was

looking for my mango smoothie I could smell the saltiness of the ocean. I started moving and all

I could feel was the sand. The sand was slowly pulling my feet into it. When I opened my eyes I

could finally see my Mango smoothie. When I tasted the mango smoothie it was so good and yummy. 

TIme went by fast and beach day was slowly coming to an end. We played two more rounds

of volleyball and of course my team won. For that last 45 minutes we swam and bombed.

It was so amazing. I hope I get to go to the beach again.  

SAVING THE SPY AGENCY!

 This is my story about saving the spy agency.

Hi my name is Angelica and I have a huge secret to tell you. Me and my family are spies. Yes you read this correctly SPIES! The only person who knows is my friend Kiarah. I need her help badly. So let me just give you a brief story telling about what happened before this. 

So I was in the living room with my brother and we were just playing hide and seek. Well it was hard because he is small and can fit anywhere.  My watch kept on beeping for some reason and still don’t know why. My sister’s walked in and said the exact same thing as why their watches were beeping. I had no clue about it. So I just decided to open it. As I was opening it my mum walked in and said that she needed us for an emergency. We walked in and the commander was on the main screen. He told us that an evil professor wanted to take down the spies agency and be the boss of it. At that time the beeping of the watch stopped. 

I walked into my room and I called my bestie Kiarah. She already knows I am a spy so we are good. When I told her everything she came here and asked f anything was going to change. I told her to calm down because the spie agency will put him in prison for life.  

As time went by I really forgot about the whole situation, until my watch started beeping again. At this point I really wanted to open it and see what was in it. My bestie Kiarah walked in at that same moment and when In opened it, there was something I have never seen before in my life. I looked at Kiarah and she was also shocked about what she saw. It was like a gem, but for some reason it was glowing. I decided not to tell anyone because I wasn’t sure what it was or what it could do. 

Couple days passed and we didn’t get a call from the spies agency. Mum started to get worried and my sister’s were acting as if they were going to die right there. Also my sisters watching stopped beeping. The only reason why they were beeping was because it was their alarm. Me on the other hand had a gem in it. On that same day I told mom I was going to sleep at Kiarah’s house, but actually I was going to the agency to see how it was going there. The reason why my mum was not at the agency working was because it was the school holidays and she is also sick. 

When I got there the commander wasn’t there. The only person that I saw there was his son Alex. Alex was that kid who just wanted to play games. I asked him where his dad was and he told me that the commander was fighting the professor. Suddenly the evil professor showed up on the screen and said that he wanted a gem that could destroy the spies agency. I knew exactly what gem he was talking about. It was the one that was in my watch. 

I told everyone in the agency that he wanted the gem that was in my watch. I told the commander that he wanted it and I knew exactly how I was going to get it. I got a fake gem which looked exactly like the real deal. I painted it the same colour and I told the commander that I was going to come and give it. 

When I got to the place where they were fighting the evil professor I traded him the fake gem. I could not believe that he actually fell for it. The commander dropped me off home and I told mum everything. Now I am one of the best spy kids in the agency. 

Camp tips

 If you are reading this then you are a year 6 learner going to Camp Bentzon on Kawau island. Camp Bentzon is a wonderful place and the people who are on it, which is Peter and Erin, are cool people. Anyway these are just 5 tips that you may want to know before going to camp and doing the activities. 

Tip number 1. Make sure you get an early sleep before camp because you will have to be there at 7:00 am on the dot. The reason why is because they have to check if everyone is there and sometimes if you come late then you are going to be holding up everyone on your bus. So do make sure you come at 7:00 am or before that.

Tip number 2. When you are doing the activity with I think it should be Owen you have to make sure you listen very closely. The reason why is because when you do it and you mess something up then you could end up injured. Also let me just say DO NOT LOOK DOWN! Looking down you might faint or you will probably cry and crying will show you down with the time you have. So remember to listen and DO NOT LOOK DOWN!

Tip number 3. When you are doing the activity with Mr Somerville and Erin you most likely have to LISTEN. The reason why is because something bad could happen to you or you will get lost. You will also most likely want to stay in your place and really make sure your arms and hands are stretched because they will hurt. So remember to LISTEN and make sure to stretch your arms and hands before doing the activity. 

Tip number 4. When you are doing the activity with Peter and Mr Goodwin this one you will have to LISTEN a lot and carefully. The reason why is because there are many instructions and even though it takes 20 minutes it is worth it. This activity is scary at first but when you get used to it you will love it. So remember to LISTEN carefully

Tip number 5. This one is actually important even though you may not agree. When you are on the ferry you have to make sure that your HAT IS SECURED. The reason why is because the wind really hits the ferry and your hat might fly off. So remember to have your HAT SECURED because you never know what will gpo into the sea.

BOWLING!

 Have you ever been bowling before? I have but when we went there it was my very first time. To be honest I thought that I was really sucky, but it turned out in the end that I was actually good. Even though we didn't get what we wanted we still had an amazing time there. Anyway on to the recount.

We had just arrived right in front of timezone, which is a bowling place with cool arcade games. Anyway I hopped out of the car and got my baby cousin out as well. We all walked in. From now on it was going to be awesome. At home before we had already sort out the teams. In my team I had my uncle Chris, my mum, my little sister Ariyana, me, my little brother Marcus and Stanley. In the other team it was my other uncle Tevita, my aunty Netta, my cousin Daeyna, my other cousin Juel, Another cousin which is my baby cousin Raymond and my older sister Inga. We walked in to check in to see what lane we had. We had lane three and four. As I was walking up the stairs to the lanes I just started to shake and I was sweating a lot. It wasn’t even cold there. Anyway we grabbed which bowling ball we wanted and came into our teams. I got the purple one because I heard that if you have a heavy ball then the more pins you will knock down.

It was game one and the first two people up was my uncles. They both actually got eight pins down. If you have ever played bowling before then you know you get two tries to get all the pins down. Anyway on their second time my uncle in the other team only got one pin down out of the two and the uncle in my team also got one down. So each team had nine points. Next up was my mum and my aunty. At first I thought my mum wasn’t really good, but she got seven pins down on her first shot while my aunty tried her best and only got five. On their second one my mum missed it and got 7 points for our team which meant we were in the lead and my aunty got only 1 down. Up next was my little sister and my cousin Daeyna. Let’s just say that their turn did not go very well at all. At first my cousin Daenya didn’t really look like she was trying her best. On the other hand my little sister kept on going off the aim but she's only seven and my cousin was nine, so they were not bad for their age. I am right? Next up was me and my cousin Juel. At first I thought that he was going to crush me, but in reality he got nothing down and I got nine down. Pretty good for my first try. I got another one and when I rolled the ball I got the last pin that was standing. My cousin got seven down. I was the first to get ten pins down. I was so happy. The next ones up were my baby cousin and little brother. Now I know what you are thinking. They probably don’t know how to aim it. Well they had these rolling things where you could put your ball there and roll it down. They each got seven down. Last players were my older sister and Stanley. On his first try Stanley got a strike. My sister did really good as well because she also got a strike even though it was her first time as well. We had another round but this time there was a bet. The bet was that the losing team had to buy dinner. We all agreed and played our next nine rounds. 

On my final roll I got a strike. Right there when I got the strike I knew for sure that we were going to win the whole thing and not have to buy dinner. Then after me every one got strikes. Even my little brother and baby cousin. It came up to me doubting that we weren’t going to win. When they revealed the score I was shocked to see that we won. It was 367-469. When I looked up I was amazed to see that Stanley had the highest score with a huge 131 points altogether. I couldn’t believe that we won because I thought for sure that the other team had won. We were all waiting for our second game to have fun, but that didn’t happen. Even though we didn’t get our second game I still was happy because I knew that we won. Anyway we went home and the losing team got the food which was KFC! It was yummy! After that we went to sleep. 

I had an amazing time at timezone and bowling. Whenever the kids get to choose where to go for A fun day I will want to go bowling! Bowling was amazing and I hope we can go there again!

This is my recount of the time I went bowling with my family in the holidays. I hope you enjoy it.

Contractions task 2

This is my second contractions task.

Samuel was wondering if he’d be able to afford a chocolate bar. 

I’ve been saving his pocket money to buy a new pair of shoes, and he knew he shouldn’t

waste his money, but dinner wasn’t for hours yet, and he hadn’t had any lunch. 

"It wouldn’t make any difference, "he decided.  "I’ve almost got all of the money saved." 

He wandered towards the shops, but stopped suddenly when he saw a flash of green

paper.

“it’s  a twenty dollar note," he thought excitedly.

“I’ll be able to buy my new pair of shoes today!"

Carefully he picked up the note, and added it to his wallet. Then he counted all of his money.

"Yep, I’ve got enough," he thought happily.

"Samuel, wait up," yelled a little boy, running towards him.

"Not again," thought Samuel. “couldn’t he see that I’m busy?" 

It was Damon, the next-door neighbour's kid. He was only five, and he followed Samuel around everywhere. 

Samuel didn't stop walking, but Damon caught up with him and grabbed his arm.

"Samuel, you have to help me," he begged. "I’ve lost the money grandma gave me for my birthday."

what’s that got to do with me?" asked Samuel.

Damon started crying.

"It blew down this street. I couldn’t find it anywhere.  I didn’t know where to look."

Samuel realised that he had Damon's twenty dollar note.

“I can’t give it back," he thought. "I’ve been saving for this new pair of shoes for months."

But as Damon kept crying, Samuel knew he couldn’t keep the money.

you’re lucky, Damon," he said. 

"I’ve  found it for you already." Pulling out his wallet, he smoothed out the twenty dollar note, and gave it to Damon. 

He didn’t get his new pair of shoes today after all.

"Wow, thanks," beamed Damon. "Hey, do you want a chocolate?"

My statement and reason's why the blue whale should be kept in it's natural habitat!

Hello and welcome back to the adventures with explorer Angelica. Sadly today is my last day talking to you guys, but in two weeks time I will share all of my adventures with you when I get back. Anyway to finish off with the blue planet animals is the huge, the mighty, the amazing blue whale. Was that your guess from yesterday’s adventure? If it was you are cool and amazing. So before we get started this adventure is a bit interesting and sad at the same time. I will explain now.

Now I think that this is important because as you guys know I am an explorer. Now what is happening in the world. Well not now, but what is happening is that people are voting whether Blue whales should live in their natural habitat or people should be able to capture Blue Whales for food or to put them in zoos. Obviously I am on the team where they should live in their natural habitat. What side are you on? So without further ado the Blue Whale.

Did you know that the Blue Whale is the biggest animal on planet earth? Isn’t that just crazy! The blue whale’s favourite food to eat is krill. Krill is like shrimp and prawns.There scientific name is Balaenoptera musculus. I will also be describing what they look like.

Learning about the great white shark with explorer Angelica!

Hello and welcome back to the amazing adventures with explorer Angelica! Sadly today is the second to last day of exploring an animal and the second to last day hearing from me. Anyway to hype you guys for today we are going to see a cool animal. Some say the scariest although explorer Angelica ain’t afraid of anything. Today’s animal we are learning about is the great giant the amazing great white shark! Ahhhhhhhh! I know right. People have been dying well not for reals, but people have begged their parents to come and see it. Well today is your lucky day because I will tell you guys stuff about it. The first thing we are going to learn is what does it eat?

So what does a great white shark eat? Well it is a carnivore. A carnivore is an animal that loves to eat meat. For Example a lion is a carnivore because it loves to eat meat. Anyway back to the great white shark. The great white sharks' favourite foods are Sea otters and earless seals. It also eats penguins and sea turtles. Anyway isn’t that just sad that the great white shark eats sea turtles because we talked about them not long ago.Next thing we are going to talk about is their habitat and the last thing I will talk about it.

Great white sharks like to live in almost all coastal and offshore waters which have water temperature between 12 and 24 Celsius. If you didn’t know what coastal means it means it likes to swim around places close to a coast. If you didn’t know what offshore means it means marine waters from the pacific oceans. Anyway other places you could find them are in the United States , South Africa, Japan, Oceania, Chile, and the Mediterranean also with the sea of Marmara and Bosporus.

Anyway I hope you enjoy learning about the great white sharks. Did you learn something from this? I hope you did. What do you think our last animal will be? I’ll give you a hint that it is a blue planet animal. So sad about tomorrow but I will be on a break for two weeks exploring around the world. This is explorer Angelica signing off from an amazing adventure. Remember tomorrow is the last day from me. BYE!

I hope you enjoy this piece of writing.

Octopus exploring

Hello and welcome back to the adventures with explorer Angelica. Now yesterday we learnt about the west Indian manatee. Today we are going to look at a daily day of a Giant pacific octopus. Did you guess that we were going to learn about that animal? Anyway let's go and adventure a daily day of an giant pacific octopus!

Now I was not allowed to travel out to the pacific waters so I decided to contact a friend to bring one over. Well actually I just went to the zoo. Now I don't normally do this but this time I will be staying and looking at what it does and be for 24 hours. Now usually I am not allowed, but I am. 

Now here is me telling you guys about the amazing and cool creature.  The giant pacific octopus is one of the largest octopus species. As everyone knows they have 8 legs with two rows of suckers. Now here is the cool bit about them. When they feel like people are coming underwater they use their camouflage to blend in with what it is around them.  The best times to go hunting is probably at night.

It is getting pretty dark so I will explain you what it looks like then bye bye. The pacific giant octopus is mainly red and pink. It can change to different colours. Such as blue, purple and even more. There mouth is in the middle of all of there legs. Oh no we are running out of time! If you have seen one before good on you.  SO sad to say goodbye. Anyway what animal do you think we were look into tomorrow. This is explorer Angelica signing off from a wonderful adventure. BYE!
