My key competency goal reflection

I have two key competency goals. The first one is I will keep my writing neat. And my second one is I will get to work.I get to work really well. But I don't write neatly. I only write neat sometimes. So I think I need to write neat more.

Clock-tower story!!!

Once upon a time there lived an ordinary girl named Diana and she loved to dance!  Then one day out of the blue a wizard came into their town, into Clock tower city, that is the town's name!

Everyone in the city was happy until that day. The wizard bossed everyone around. He made them do his chores, cook his food, clean his house, and build him a tower. It was hard work for everyone but one (him)! No one liked him! The wizard just got to rest. It was not fair!

Then suddenly Diana said "we hate our jobs". Everyone else followed Diana's words and they said it too! They all yelled with expression. They shouted at the top of their lungs. Then the wizard said "I will curse a spell on one of you. But for now I will go."

When the whole town was sleeping the wizard came back. It was for revenge! Then he said "I will curse Diana!" So when she was fast asleep the wizard took her. In the morning the people of the town said "where's Diana?" They looked every where but the clock tower. They could just not find her!

That night Diana found herself in the clock tower. Everything had stopped. Everything was black and white except for her. People were frozen. Diana saw her dress and saw that she had a giant cog stuck to the bottom of her skirt. Then she poked at the spinning thing on the clock in the tower. She noticed a piece was missing, so she started spinning there. Everything started working again so she stayed there!

Perth holiday

PERTH

First of all on Wednesday at 11:30 we got to the airport. Me and my sister had thought the trip would be 6 hours. We went on Air New Zealand. It was so annoying because Mischa my sister kept on saying every 5 minutes, "Are we there yet?"( for 1 hour.)

When we got there the time in Perth was 6:45 and in New Zealand the time was 10:45. 30 minutes after we went to our cousins house and had dinner, had a shower and brushed our teeth. 5 minutes later it was time to go to sleep.

In the morning we woke up 4 hours before everyone else. So we waited 4 long hours till everyone was up. After we had breakfast we caught the train, into the markets but since it was Thursday it was closed. So we went to north Perth and did shopping there. When we were in, north Perth I had lunch then we did more shopping.

After that we caught the train again! Finally we went to our cousins house 2 hours after that we went to the beach at 6:30. We were trying to see the sunset but we missed it by 2 minutes. We played in the sand for 30 minutes. The Sand was as bright as glitter. Next we went home to go to sleep.

Then the next morning we woke up 4 hours before everyone else again. When our cousin woke up we had breakfast and went out for the day. Me and my sister loved the park.

When we got to our cousin munnyee  it was almost time to go to the airport 30 minutes later we went to the airport. 2 hours we were on the plane for a long 6 hours. 

Then we got back to Auckland and the time was 5:30 in the morning, and we finally we got home!!!

Youth-town

Youth-town

On Wednesday Youth-town came to our school for EOTC week. First we did the roll,then we got ready, lined up and went outside.

First of all Youth-town said what we were doing first. My group did archery first. Everyone got to practise, then we competed in the competition. My team won! But I forgot what the score was!!!

The second activity for my group was Flintstone cart building. The person who was in-charge of it gave us the plan. After that he gave us the instructions on how to make it. If we wanted to make it properly we needed to follow the instructions. To make it we needed to tie the rope to bamboo and the wood. The wood went though the hole in the barrow. Three people got to go on it at a time!

The third activity was problem solving for my group. The first thing we did for problem solving, was finding patterns. We needed to find our way though the patten of small circle rubber mat's.

Then we did the big puzzle. We had two teams, one team did the blue puzzle and the other team did the yellow puzzle.  

Our second  to last activity was walky- talkys , we got teamed up. But before we got teamed up we had to put on moquito spray. Then we got in to pairs. We got one walky-talky and a pice of paper and one pen. So we could play nots and crosses, but the hard thing was we needed to do it on the walky-talky. 

Our last activity was ti-pi building first of all the person teaching that lesson showed us some of the instructions. Then the three groups started making it. The first thing we had to do, is tie the rope around the three poles of bamboo. Then we finished that bit we got the tarp and, it was very windy so my group got our extra rope ,  put it though the holes tied it around the bamboo!

Then we finished the day and went home!
