Narrative Writing Story

                        Narrative Writing

Rose and her family went to the beach. It was the hottest day of the week, maybe the hottest day of the year! Everyone was going to spend their day playing in the water and introducing themselves to the other neighbours. Rose was having a good time playing with her little niece in the sand. When Rose’s little niece said she needed to use the bathroom. Before Rose went she asked her mum, her mum said “yes, but hurry back because we are about to have lunch.”

While Rose was waiting for her niece to use the bathroom everything turned pitch black. Rose woke up at the beach but no one was there. She had a headache so she just lay there. This blurry image of two people like a middle aged couple went to her and helped her up. The couple said that they were Rose’s parents. Rose couldn’t remember much because something hit her head really hard. Since Rose was the wealthiest person in her street the couple knew how to convince her that they were her parents. The couple knew her name and Rose thought they were her actual parents.

Although Rose doesn’t remember, this has happened to her many times before, but it never got this far. You see Rose’s parents are the wealthiest people in her street. Maybe even the whole city.  Many people have wanted to abduct her for a chunk of her family’s fortune.

The couple took really good care of Rose. Until the couple asked about Rose’s bank details. Rose didn’t trust them because she thought that her parents already knew her Bank details. Rose was on her way to school when suddenly this girl came running to Rose and hugged her. Rose was confused why this strange girl hugged her. The girl said she was Rose’s best friend from a long time ago, her name is Ava and she has long ginger hair. Ava said that Rose has been missing for seven months.

Rose was shocked, she explained to Ava about the middle aged couple and about how she woke up at the beach. Ava said a couple kidnapped a child and that child was Rose. When Rose got home from school she decided that she wasn’t going to tell her parents. Before they do something bad to Rose.

Rose decided to search about the missing girl and saw that it was Rose that has been missing. Rose thought of an idea. Rose called the police saying she's been kidnapped then went to her parents and confronted them that she knows she's been kidnapped. Rose’s mum was crying while her dad was making her feel better, when Rose turned her back on them they suddenly took her on the arm and took her to the basement.

While Rose was in the basement tied up she waited to hear the police knock on the door, when finally they knocked. Rose’s mum opened the door and she saw that it was the police and knew that Rose was the one who called them. The police asked if there was a person called Rose there, and of course the mum said no. The police knew she was lying so they burst in and started looking for Rose.

Once the police checked the whole house he went into  the basement and searched for Rose. The police officer saw Rose tied up at the back and untied her. Rose and the police officer went upstairs. Rose saw her fake parents tied up. Rose went with the police officer to go to her parents.

Rose’s real parents were very happy to see Rose. Since it has been happening for a lot of time, they decided to move to another country and change their names. Dye their hair to make them look so different. They also made sure no one knew they were rich.

RĀPARE | THURSDAY

Connect through kindness / Takohatia ki tētahi

 

When we do something nice for someone else, be it a friend, colleague or stranger, not only does it make them feel good, it gives our wellbeing a boost in return. Whether it’s a big gesture or just a smile, everyone has a little act of kindness to offer. Think about someone who might need some extra support right now, because today is all about giving: our time, our kindness, our aroha, our kōrero, to others.

Today I had to do something kind to someone. I decided to do something kind to my mum. My mum is always kind to me. My mum ordered me some clothes. I gave her a hug because I was very grateful for what she did to me. I was also very happy because she ordered me something without me knowing so she added an extra thing for me and I am very grateful that my mum has brought me clothes. In result I gave her a loving hug.

RĀAPA | WEDNESDAY

Have a kōrero about Te Whare Tapa Whā/ Tōku Whare Tapa Whā

 

Now that we’re halfway through MHAW, why not use this day to explore your wellbeing through Te Whare Tapa Whā and have a kōrero with someone else about what you learn? Consider the four pou and think about the different ways you can boost your wellbeing.

Did you Know that the Te Whare Tapa Wha has four dimensions ?

Well if you didn’t know it does. The four dimensions are taha tinana (physical wellbeing), taha hinengaro (mental wellbeing), taha wairua (spiritual wellbeing), and taha whanau (family wellbeing). 

The four dimensions grew by SIr Mason in 1984. Taha means the people we care about and those that always make us feel comfortable.

Catholics School Day

 Catholics School Day is when Catholic schools get up together. They just celebrate that they are catholic and just spend time together. Since we are in lockdown we cannot spend the time together with St Michael's and St Ignatius. So my school and I just had a whole school meeting and was watching what Bishop Michael Say. Unfortunately I cannot see what he said because it is restricted for me. We even had prayers of the faithful which were Everly, Isitolo, Callen, Afonsus, and Pauline. We were also listening to a song thats called 'Final Celebration Song' Final Celebration Song. Take a look at our slides !

Mental Health Awareness Week

This week is Mental Health Awareness week. This week it is all about taking care of our health. Mental health is an illness and can be debilitating for lots of people. Some times we can't control or explain our thoughts, feelings or emotions. Some ways we can help our mental health is by going outside, taking a walk, talk with a friend, to take time to yourself, playing outside with our brother and sisters, going to sleep early and doing a little bit of fitness. Today is Rātu or Tuesday.

Our task for today was 'Get outside in nature with someone / E puta ki te taiao'.

Here is my activity

RĀTU | TUESDAY

Get outside in nature with someone / E puta ki te taiao

 It’s often the little things that bring us joy. The singing birds, the grass beneath our feet, the wind on our faces. Kōrero doesn’t have to happen indoors. Today we encourage you to get outside in nature with someone else. Take a moment to chat about the things that support your wellbeing and appreciate the beauty around you. You might be surprised by what you notice!

I can see the fresh green taros underneath this long huge green net, the blue bright sky, the huge trees near my house, the white big air conditioning unit, the long hard fence, the wide clear windows, and the long hard battle ropes.

I can feel the hard feeling of the wooden fence, I can feel the cold air going down my spine, I can feel the hard ground and the soft grass, I can feel the porch, my feet pressing down on the hard porch.

I can smell the nice fresh air, I can smell how fresh my dad’s taros and the fresh grass because it has been mowed recently.

This event took place over 30 million years ago where those whales were still here on earth, those whales were here before dinosaurs and humans.

Moala - Perceiving the intentions of others

Today for R.E My Class and I were learning about Perceiving the intentions of others. On a certain sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the sabbath so that they might discover a reason to accuse him. But he realized their intentions… Luke 6:6–8

P.E - Health and Workout No.4

Todays P.E activity was to create your own eye patch and do some activities. I found it difficult to find a way how to create my own eye patch but it worked Instead of actually making one I decided to just get something without having to make it. Using one of my coats I used its lace to wrap it around my head to think it is a eye patch. My Last Activity which was drawing, I thought it was going to be a hard activity but it was actually pretty easy but I still gave it a shot. Again I couldn't Publish my Video So I just had to screencastify it. (by the way now I have 16 points)

Check out my blog!

P.E - Health and Workout Coordination Challenges

Yesterday for P.E I did some coordination challenges. I already knew some of them which made it easier for me to do. The first one which is opposing arm swings was pretty hard because it did look confusing but I got the hang of it. I don't think I did it correctly because my arm didn't fully swing to the back. The rest of the challenges were pretty easy. The last one which was the Thumb/Pinky trick was the easiest However I took many shots to do it. I had to screencastify it because I couldn't publish it.
