10 Things I would Bring On a Boat. SJL W1

This week In Nghare we are doing Summer learning journey we are pretending that we are on a boat for three weeks and this is my food that I would be eating for three weeks.

1. Fruit like Pineapple, Strawberries etc

2. I would need a lot of water because you need 8 cups a day and if you don't drink any you die

3. I would want protein bars because I need energy for the long trip and it would be hard to workout

4. I would chips because they are really yum

5. I also need oats because they are really healthy and they are an everyday food

6. I would bring Oranges because they have citric in them 

7. I would bring cookies for a snack will I am waiting to get there

8. I would bring a sandwich because they are good for you.

9. I would bring fruit kebabs because I would eat more fruit and fruit is good for you

10. The lucky last thing I would bring is marshmallows. Marshmallows are really good and you can eat them with chocolate sauce.

Lorde

Today Ngahere have been doing summer learning journey and for the teaser week we are making google drawings about facts of Lorde the famous New Zealand singer born in Auckland She is 23 years old

I found it challenging figuring out what to write for the facts and it was also hard trying to spell her real-life name and finding the facts was pretty hard because I had to go to different websites to see if it was true because some websites can be false.

I enjoyed finding the pictures and picking what ones I want to put in my drawing and looking at how much subscribers she has and also listening to her songs while I was making the google drawing I listened to the song ''Royals''.

Once upon a time there was a little boy called Jack. Jack loved to run around outside.  One day he was playing outside but there was a storm coming the rain hit. Jack laughed “haha this is so much fun” the wind blew he tripped “haha” the wind got stronger and stronger Jack screamed “Ahhh” Mary ran outside to check on Jack but when she got outside he was nowhere to be seen. Mary ran back inside and got Benjamin “Benjamin Jack got blown away by the wind! Mary ran outside with a coat and an umbrella “Jack are you there” she looked in the backyard,she looked at his school She even looked up in a tree but Jack was nowhere to be seen. Mary ran over to a forest she looked everywhere in the bushes behind a tree even under a rock she ran back to the house grabbed some paper and wrote child missing if found please call 011914 she stuck the paper all around town hoping someone would find her son. People around town saw the note then news reporters saw the note they invited Mary to see if she wanted to go on the news she said yes. “So Mary is your child lost” “Yes please find him he a little boy with dark brown hair a white shirt a blue jeans please find him. The police saw the news. The police grabbed there guns and got a K-9 they got into the police car on a quest to find the missing child.



Chapter 2


More and more people found out that Jack was missing and tried to find him even his school was trying to find him.

One day Mary heard jacks voice at her house she yelled “JACK!!’’

The voice laughed she kept hearing his voice laughing. She followed the voice it ended up in a forest. But then suddenly she saw a huge tree bigger than anyone she has ever seen the tree started to move but mary said ‘’probably just the wind’’ and walked away. She heard more rustling but didn't take notice.

But when she looked back it was gone. She heard branches snapping in the distance. She followed. But then she found a graveyard there were lots of gravestones of people she knows. But then she saw one that said Jack-1946-1953. Mary stared at the gravestone but she saw a shadow next to the gravestone and heard a voice say ‘’mum’’

 she said ‘’jack is that you?’’

Jack said ‘’look behind you’’mary looked nothing was there but when she looked back at the gravestone in the distance she saw something. at first she didn't realise what it was but she walked towards it and it walked towards her. She slowly took steps back. It went faster and faster towards her mary sprinted away she looked away to run but when she looked back it was gone.

 Mary sprant back home as fast as she could by the time she got home it was dark outside so she took a shower and headed to bed. The next day she went to the cemetery again Jacks gravestone was gone she saw a shadow holding jackes gravestone she ran after it and it ran away. She kept running after it. She took a hard left turn and then it was gone. She ended up in a forest and all she could hear was the wind and the trees she could feel the wind breezing through her hair while she was walking she was just thinking of giving up until…
