Don't Let Go Narrative

WALT: Write a narrative using dialogue. 

WALT meaning We are learning to..

As the night was ending in a miracle of peaceful joy of a fairy tale! Until they all took the wrong turn on their way home.

The Horses went crazy , the Girl went flying while still holding a grudge on the handles , 2 animals came out of nowhere , the pumpkin was massive and everything was just a mess! The funny looking Cinderella girl wondered what could go wrong! She had confusion along with her thoughts and wondered if it was a curse?! That’s right her name wasn’t “ The funny looking Cinderella” her name was Emma Faith Valentina.

Emma did conduct herself as a weird person , but that anyhow didn’t reflect who she was and what she wanted to become when her time has come to be what she always wanted to be!
Until she couldn’t hold any longer with the way her grip was weak. She let go of the handle and there she went just about close to the ground. Emma landed chest first towards the hard grass. As slow as a Turtle Emma slowly got up and the Carriage with the White Horses kept going without nothing that could be able to stop them.

Emma didn’t care; she just wanted to figure out what happened and why?!
Emma said to herself “ WHY WHY WHY OUT OF ALL PEOPLE IT HAPPENED TO ME! “ as she said that she started to cry and have fear of what would happen. All alone Emma was out in the mysterious forest with white fog hard to see barely anything in a night of the full moon.

Was Emma not only alone? Was she with someone who stalked her? Did Emma die in the woods without help ? What will happen next ?
To Be Continued ….

Visual Mihi #2020

This is my Visual Mihi for 2020!

Please take note that I didn't draw my face, because this was due 2 weeks ago :)

In the top corners I have my two Cultures that lead on towards my parents cultures.  

I Had put a Word with an infinite sign meaning for My Family. I also had put a quote underneath it because, I feel like it was a nice love quote about family etc. In the Bottom Right Corner I have a Text title about Friends. Since I like Music I did a Music Line containing music notes! I also have another Quote about Life from Tupac Amaru Shakur . Following on I did a Bible then my zodiac sign which is Gemini. Last but not least I did a Cobra Snake Holding a Rose in its mouth. 

Task Description : 

For this task I had to do a Visual Mihi for 2020 as a year 8. This task was due 2 weeks ago but our teachers were kind enough to let us have more time. In Visual Mihi's we had to Draw our Face and 4 Things in the background. 

Overall Reflection :

I would say I would have done it a bit better but I like it! I think I would change the colour combination. I also would use my time wisely next time to complete all the sides.

The Young Detective Writing

W.A.L.T : Write a Narrative

W.A.L.T is meaning for " What we are learning about "

Image Attribution / Story Starter - Pobble365

It had been three days since it had gone missing. One minute he had held it in his hand, the next it had vanished. How could it just have disappeared?  It had been right in front of his eyes!
He had been warned about what would happen if he lost it. 

His mission had been to guard the key with his life, ever since they visited him last summer.
Adam had always had a detective’s instinct. They had told him as much. He had been chosen because he had certain skills, and he would need them more than ever now.

Only one clue had seemingly been left, which was sat on the living room table.
Holding the magnifying glass up to his eye, Adam began to investigate…

As Adam was closely looking at his magnifying glass towards his eyes he saw a glimpse of something keeping an close eye on him. Adam was curious so he started to lean forward.
As he leaned forward his father looked at him with auspiciousness. 

Not long, his father said “ Adam, is everything old and fine over there? “ '' 

Adam replied strangely '' umm yes “ 

His father was still suspicious and quite weirded out.Adam started to worry. He knew that his own father was going to keep an eye on him considering they were in the same room.

Adam curiously looked back at his magnifying glass closely and saw eyes on top of the self in there secretive home library. He wondered to himself if he was paranoid so he looked away and looked back at the same place and it had randomly disappeared!

Adam had one thing lefted in mind to tell the truth…. But instead Adam didn’t give up that easily. Later 15 minutes went past without Adam knowing considering he had to look for that Key.

Once again his father said “ Look Adam, just tell me what’s up, it's been 15 minutes?! “

Adam looked at his father with a fake grin “ nothing father “

Adam started to get worried. He tried  to the best of his abilities and looked everywhere but nothing came to mind. He tried to rewind back to when he first lost the key but his brain cells couldn’t come to a conclusion. Adam came to a conclusion to tell his father… 

Adam sat next to his father saying in a worried voice “ Father I….I….I “ mubluming

Adam's father replied with concern “ What are you trying to say Adam? “

Adam said “ Father, I lost the key and I'm really Sorry! “ (Tearing up abit)

Adam's father was in SHOCK! He told Adam “ Adam what do you mean? “

Over 4 minutes Adam told the very beginning of the story upon which it had vanished in front of his eyes! At first his Father didn’t believe him! Adam knew it was a ridiculous story to believe but who knew who would have believed him and his stories right?!

Adam's Father told Adam with a bit of anger “ Look for that key immediately! "

Adam replied quietly “ Yes, father “

10 minutes passed… Adam struggled to find the key. 
As minutes passed by, to a few hours gone, Adam still didn’t find the key.
Adam started to sweat, his father fell asleep. Adam tried very hard to find the key, he even sat down and did some yoga.

 It was a hard, difficult , mysterious mission still yet to be solved.

 To Be Continued….

Task Description :

This week Room 1 Literacy is learning or rewriting a narrative. The picture giving is to help given a better thought of our narrative to write about. Please keep in mind that the blue font is the story starter meaning I didn't write it because it was a story started that came off a site. However the black writing font is my carried on story towards the story starter! I am hoping to finish of my writing whenever I have Spare time to finish it off.

Overall Reflection:

My overall Reflection I would have to say it was a great task to do. I enjoyed writing this Narrative because I haven't wrote one in a long time!

What it takes be a good Pt Englander ( Explanation Writing )

WALT: independently write an explanation

What it takes be a good Pt Englander

Are you wondering a upon What it takes to be a good Pt Englander?
In this Explanation writing I will be explaining on how to be a good Pt Englander and what it takes to become one. Here I will write 4 different ways to be a good Pt Englander , Following Rules , Using your W.I.T.S , Attitude and Our Reputation.

In Pt England we use our W.I.T.S. ( W - Walk away , I - Ignore it , T - Talk about it , S - Seek help.) W.I.T.S is something that helps us Pt Englanders get a help of solution when something is about to happen. One way you can use your W.I.T.S is you can seek help and talk about it to an grown up or teacher and they can help solve your problem and everything will be fine.

In our school we have a way that is called “ The Pt England Way”
We have this way to show and tell all us kids that we are at school and got to remember that. For an example, by showing that you can always wear it with pride meaning to wear your uniform properly and not wear your jumpers and jackets around your neck.

One of the main things is our attitude/behavior. As being an Pt Englander you have to have a good attitude towards our teachers and others. By having an attitude a decent attitude is by always being kind and helping others, do those little things  new opportunities can come your way!

A Major thing in being a good student of Pt England is our Reputation of our school. In our school we care about our reputation also how it is treated and how we students represent it. By representing our school is by always having a good attitude out of school trips and walks etc, walking like a proud student and listening to all teachers with respect.

There you have it , Four good ways on how to be a good Pt Englander! What will you change about yourself upon how to be a better Pt Englander?

Task Description : 

For this task I had to write an explanation independently about " What it takes to be an good Pt Englander " This task was meant to be due last week but we had to drag it onto this week just for today. 

Overall Reflection : 

I founded this task just a bit hard considering I haven't wrote something about this school in a while , But it was a good piece of learning upon within writing and putting as a task.

What would I want to learn about: 

Personally for me I would like to get deeper into what Explanation and the meaning of why we have it as well as how it was created and how its used in different kinds of ways.
