Hero

Today we learned how to do this story timeline thing. We leaned how it worked by having a story - Uenuku, then Sharon read it twice and we had to try figure out what parts of the story went where then she explained and showed us where they went.

It started off with a Status Quo, a Status Quo is just how their normal life is before anything has happened. In the one we were doing he was just playing in bushes, hunting and gathering food.

Then it went into the Call Of Adventure which is basically what happened for them to get into the adventure, maybe who told them to come and how it happens, it's what happened for their life to change. In the story we were doing it about, he runs into a beautiful girl and tells her he was going to meet her later that night. 

Then their is Departure, this is when the character is leaving to his new life and what happened for that to happen.

Then it's Trials, trials are the things before the crisis that lead up to the crisis making it happen, in this story the trials was when he hold his friends about her when he wasn't supposed to.

The Crisis is the bad thing that happens that they have to resolve, the crisis in the story was when the girl runs away and never came back because he broke his promise.

The Return is when they start living life again and get over the crisis.

The New status quo in this story is when he gets turned into a rainbow with the girl and they live happily ever after.

7km Challenge

On Tuesday most of our class head off to do a 7km Challenge. We had to either run, run/walk or walk from Broad Park to Spencer Park, that was 7km. When we arrived at school we lined up for the teachers to separate us into groups of people we were getting a ride to Broad Park with, I was in a car with Lily, Serinity and the parents who drove us, sadly Addie got separated from us and was put in a car with her brother and his friends. 

When we got to Broad park we reunited with her and went on the playground for a bit the we went over to the trailer to put our bags in it, I look a bar with me in case I got hungry and also my gum so my mouth wouldn't get dry which i'm glad I did. We went back to our group and head off.

Our group decided to run the first kilometre so we wouldn't be to behind, the running group had left first so they were marking off every km and put arrows up if there was two paths to choose from so each group could stop at so our parent/teacher could count us and make sure no one went missing. 

The second km felt so long because we walked it. Then we decided not to run too much of it and sprint down the hills, once when I was sprinting down a hill and I almost slipped on the mud that their was a lot of the time. 

After almost slipping over we kept on jogging until we had it into this path of white trees and it was all foggy and misty, then it started to rain a bit which was really nice and refreshing since we were really hot. 

When we finally got up to the 6km mark the arrow stuck to the tree was pointing up instead of left of right so we had to wing it and go right, luckily we went the right way. Shortly after making the turn we came out of the bush and there we were at Spencer.

Mr Redmond waved at us to run the last part to him, he took at photo of Addie, Lily and I at the finish line then we went over to find a seat fir our bags. We sat at the seats for a couple minutes and had some water and something to eat then we went over to the playground. 

Lily brought some money with her so we asked Mr Redmond if we could go to the shop, he surprisingly said yes with a jokingly condition of buying him something. So we walked over and got a big bottle of coke and some gum each and of course got one for Mr Redmond. We walked back over and gave Mr Redmond his lolly.

We were walking around when we saw Ali cooking the sausages up so we went over and got one, we all felt sick from eating the gum before the sausage. 

For the rest of the day we just hung around until it was time for us to leave. Half the people had to stay behind because there wasn't enough transportation, Addie and I left first but Lily got left behind so we didn't see her for another 45 minutes since it takes 15 minutes to drive back to school and drop us off then 15 minutes to drive back to Spencer and another 15 minutes of them driving back the next kids from Spencer.

When Addie and I got back to school we went inside to find out that Nogo had bought the kids who didn't go Pizza! We were a bit jealous but we didn't care because we had, had quite a good day already.  

Overall the day was really fun and I would definitely take an opportunity like that again

French

Today I started doing languages, I chose to do French. We went on Duolingo. I already know a tiny bit of French but my goal is to learn some greetings. Today I learned that "tu es" means "Are you". 

Te Reo Māori

In Te Reo Māori today we practiced commenting on other peoples blogs with Māori words/sentences. After that we learned how to use past tense, present and future, "I haere ahau/au" means "I went" or "I have already gone", "Kei te haere ahau" means "I am going" and "Ka haere ahau" means "I will go."
