Wall Of Leaders

Task Description: Malo E Lelei! My name is Alepina and in todays work is about leadership qualities. This is basically like a poster written with qualities. It explains what should be and have been shown in a leader. Such as prefect, priest, teacher and more! Do you know anyone that shares or expresses themselves in one of these qualities?

Act It Out

WALT: Act out a scene with our team. Using an authentic voice to project. In this video we have selected our scene. Which is in part 3. What happens in the scene is the narrator’s brother and mum was rushing to the hospital because of a “game.” A stupid one to be exact. The easiest part was remembering our lines because we only had a little bit. The hardest though was remembering the actions to the lines. In my team was Jordyn and Sophia. It was a really great and funny everytime we practiced. We actually got better!

Bye!

Dawn Raid Selections

Task Description: For litreacy we had to choose 2 ideas. Those ideas include a group. As you can see I drew some gogo boots and have uploaded a video. Recreating a famous part about the author throwing a dart. It landed on the brother (pretty sure) I was the mum Also the driver. There can be some bits of bad acting and some bloopers. We didnt know how to cut it out but hopefully we finish the voice over. Something intresting was the acting. I have alot of words I cant really explain much. But the challening part was MY acting. I couldnt hold in my laughter. We had to restart most of the time because of me. But we enjoyed doing this. Check it out!

Dawn Raid – Novel Study

Task Description: For this weeks literacy work we learnt about Dawn Raid. A story the class (including me) and teacher read. Its a story about immagrations/rasisim/polynesians. A part I actually found intresting was realising the person that wrote the story went through all of this. Nothing was challenging but answering the questions. Im an over thinker most of the time. In the end I had to choose 2 ideas. So I did! I will be posting those ideas.

The Unexpected Visitor

Click, click, click! The sound of a controller button grew louder each time I got competitive. But the sound of rain from outside was even louder. Each raindrop sounds like tap shoes used on concrete. 

 

I was home alone with no one but my dog Coco. While gaming I could hear a loud knock on the door. “What the.” That sounded like no knock but a bang echoing from an empty, silent room. As I caught a glimpse of Coco barking at the door I yelled out his name. “Coco!” He didn’t stop. He was shaking. His fur was standing up and he backed down. I sensed something was wrong but as soon as the knocking stopped I forgot about it.

 

Within 30 minutes the TV flicked onto the news. “ Hello people of Grindville watching. It is reported that you should stay at home. Lock every single door and windows. There seems to be a heavy hailstorm. Lasting about 6 hours.” The news reporter went on and on. Nothing seemed interesting before stopping at a part where the news reporter says: “Skinwalkers Have been caught. True or not you should still not open the door! I repeat do not open the door!”

This had to be a joke. My parents would tell me all sorts of stories about Grindville being the safest town known to mankind! 

 

Soon after a while I heard a knock louder than the first knock. “Ruby!” I heard a woman. She sounded familiar “Ruby, open the door!” Although I wasn’t brave, I replied.“Coming!”

 

 As I stood in front of the door I got a feeling. Like I’m not supposed to be doing this. 

Just to be sure I peeked through the curtains. A woman. “Mum?” I was confused. She went out with my dad.

 

As soon as I unlocked the door she burst in. “Ruby!” My mum looked down while I was on the floor. “Mum? Where’s dad!?” “He’s still at the restaurant, don’t worry.” “Restaurant?” I was sure my mum said they went to an important family meeting. I didn’t really pay much attention but I was sure. Surprised, I said, “What are you doing back here?” “I came to make sure my daughter was ok.” She replied with a grin. “Sit down, I’ll make tea. And I have something to tell you.” My mum would never make tea if we have to talk about something. Soonly I became suspicious. She went on and on asking about family stuff. Like my birthday. “Hey, mum.” “Yes?” “This doesn’t taste like the usual tea.” “Oh, I have a usual tea order?” I was surprised. My mum would probably know her usual tea even if she had dementia most of the time. 

 

My phone’s ringtone set off. “Wait mum, I have to answer this call.” It was my mum’s phone number. “Hmm.” I picked it up and heard a woman’s voice. My mom’s voice. “Hey Ruby? I’m almost here but we’re stuck in traffic. The hail storm is heavy so we might not be able to make it.”  “Wait. Mum? Is this a prank or something?” “What?” Cars honking made it difficult to hear my mom’s voice. But I was definitely sure that was her. “Mum, I thought you were just talking to me in the lounge?” “No. Are you delusional? I’m not here yet.” As I thought about it I realised. “The news!” I must’ve let in a skinwalker. “Ruby?” That was the only thing I heard before dropping the phone and picking up my softball bat. As I slowly encountered the living room with a fast beating heart, no one was there.

Free Verse Poem

 Quick, quick,

Fastly, fastly. 

My mind could be everywhere 

The fear of being late came.

So did the fear of getting in trouble. 

But I also felt..

To stop overthinking. 

 

My face could show expressions as if my stomach dropped.

 

“Groups of 3” Is what I heard.

Every group was full until I heard “ Join us!”

 

30 minutes was not enough time.

Confused on what an egg drop challenge is.

I just accepted. 

 

Grabbing our material’s wasn’t so easy.

Since some people grabbed what we needed. 

 

Cotton pads flew everywhere from where I could see.

Glue on the table’s it felt so sticky. 

Straw’s everywhere I crushed them. 

Crowd’s erupted once the timer ended. 

 

We had to wear funny hats. 

Mine was pom, poms. Some fur fell on my mouth

I could taste it. 

 

I ran outside, took my hat off and rushed to the bathroom. 

I came back and,

 

So our design was not so wonderful.

But at least we had a house for our egg.

 

Peniake. Peniake was the name for the egg.

 

Everyone walked out but I waited to be at the back. 

One by one some egg’s would drop, some would not.

 

The 1st Round survived.

The 2nd Round surely survived. 

 

But screaming wasn’t humble. 

Warning team’s she would take point’s off. She did.

 

Once the last team came upon. The house was too big with not enough material’s inside. They thought it would go through. 

 

“Crack!” The smell of egg’s caught my attention as I tried to go back inside. 

 

That’s when I saw them being humble. Staring at me and nodding. 

 

That’s when I realized.

 

Being a leader doesn’t mean shouting and placing people.

It’s about helping, bravery, and gentleness with others.

 

That’s the rotation for Room 4. 

 

“Teamwork makes the dreamwork.”
