Writing story.

 Hello welocme back to my blog.


Writing can be both calming but also annoying at times even if i found writijg this calming at first I found it annoying that we had to do it but I did enjoy it. You now about the who,what,when,where thing well we wrote a story off of that everyone would put in ideas and we would choose one to write the promt this time was,who:person and a beast  what:torch/lantern/fire torch   when:2:30 am   where:dark forest.

Then we had to write a story with that my sory was 545 words long so here is my work.

(it is a little bit dark and a bit groosem so sorry about that I was zoned out and ended up writing it like this)


Tip tap tip tap SNAP the musk air of a forest. Although this forest was banned because of

what happened i was allowed to go through. Although having a name it's just called the

dark forest maybe it's called the dark forest because this is where the infection started,

and the god of death got infected and killed by the thing that he ruled.


But it probably doesn't reach this far out i've been walking for so long it has to be around

2:30 am maybe 3:00 am as I set up my camp I hear something behind me or is it beside

or infront I can't tell where it is by the noise its like theres more then one as I freeze in

shock from the feeling of breath down my neck. 


I slowly move my hand creating a lantern sphere spell it isn't that big and does not cause

much light since I was to scared to move to much from the fear that it might get me as

I slowly go down to my knees with the torch ball in one and and reaching for my bow with the other I pick it up and quickly turn around throwing the lantern sphere softly into the air

and loading an arrow into my bow but there's nothing.


“how weak of you” said a deep but distorted voice behind me as I spin and prepare to

shoot it grabs my bow and crushes it i fall backwards landing hard on the ground “using

such a weak weapon for something much stronger then you” the distorted sound of this

creature scratched my ear making me wince and in a blink all of a sudden this thing is

right in front of my face so close I can smell its breath.


It smells like a rotting corpse now that I can see it probably its face is a skull and there

black goop dropping off its body but it still has a slightly human body its body is strong

like it spent its whole life training and there's tattoos going all the way up its hands they

almost look like curses as I slowly peace thogather who this person is I look at its face

in shock and whimper out “kakos”.


 “thats right im the god of death” kakos forced out of his decaying throat “you know I

haven't had a sacrifice in so long everybody forgot about me” and as he raised his arm

slowly and then it was gone maybe it got cut off by something then a warm feeling

started in my chest then that warmness was turn into a indescribable pain as I looked

down,there his hand right through my chest. 


then as quick as I saw it it was then quickly ripped out of my chest and in his hand was

my heart still beating “you really are as pure as I thought” and as my vision slowly and

turned black I watched him slowly bring my heart towards his mouth his razor teeth slowly

opening,and as I slowly closed my eyes the last thing I saw was the moon watching in

horror and the thing that shocked me to the core.



Thank you for reading my blog I hope you have a nice day and I would love some feedback on my work bye.

Why some jobs pay more then others.

 Hello I hope youve had a good day.


today the people who finished there busnnis work first had to do a do now task. And although I didnt finish it when I had to I did finish it the next day that my teacher said was ok.

We learnt about how some jobs pay more then others and had to answer some quistons so here is my work. (im sorry if its long)


1. Explain in a well constructed paragraph, why some jobs pay more than others.

some jobs pay more then others becouse more people can get that job this is becouse of the fact that say a job at mcdonalds pay less then a job as a builder becouse you have to go to school and get trained to be a builder while mcdonalds you just have to learn how to cook some things.


2. At this point in your life, what kind of job do you think you would like to have?

I would like to do drawing as a job this could be animation or just drawing for kids books either way its partly becouse it means I can sit at home in pajamas and nobody can judge me.


3. Tell us what the two most important things you need to ask if you want make lots of money?

what you can do very well that others cant do and how much can you handle the stress of high paying jobs.


Thank you for reading my blog I hope you have a nice day bye.

Sleep and exercise for tenagers.

 Hello welcome back to my blog I hope your having a nice day.


Food is very inmportant both with health and just how good some of it can taste but although some of the good food can taste very bad it is still really important to eat it and in health calss this is one of the places were we are learning this.


So at the moment were doing a kinda theme about health,first we wrote a weekly eating plan with a group of 2-3 were the food would taste good but also healthy at the same time then later on we learnt about physacil health like working out and running and how it helps your body we also learnt about how important it is to have alot of sleep. 


First off here is my meal plan.














Everybody has a diffrent amount of sleep that they need to get so if somebody needs 9 hours of sleep someone else may only need 7-8 hours of sleep everybody is diffrent I find that I can run on very little sleep but it depends on how much sleep ive gotten before its like powering up then using the power up.I also found that must people go to sleep around 9-10 Pm.


Next we had to write two things we rememberd from the video about phsycil health. 

1. exersing can strengthin your heart becosue it is like a mussle.

2.exersising can help bring down your stress levels.

2021 hornby highschool.

Hello welcome back to my blog.


Starting highschool can be a very scary thing but its not all that bad many good thing can happen with starting high school you can learn new things that you enjoy through the many diffrent classes or the many groups that you are able to join.


There are certain classes throughout the week that only happen at certain times so youll need to learn you time table quickly that can be online through the school sight or you can go to the student office where you can ask them for a paper cut out of your time table. There is quite a big range of classes that you can do here at hornby high there are some classes that youll only get once a term these could be japanese,cooking,sewing,woodwork etc and even if you have pe 3 time a week they do this to see if you enjoy these things.


Another reason we have to do all they classes is becouse by the end of year eight you will have to choose your classes for the next year and since youve done all of them youll now what to expect even if they are a bit harder you will still know the basics.


And like primary we have EOTC week near the end of the year some of the places that we went to and will probably stay that way or be simaler is adrelinin forest jelly park town square and margrete mayhee.


Along with the classes that happen once a term there are other classes that you will have throughout the year like math,writing,pe and health. One of the classes that youll learn about first is wananga and form although these are in the same class they are infact diffrent,form is to tell you the notices so that if you have a class after that youll know what hapening throughout the day next is wananga these classes are mostly used to focus on mental health or about bullying mostly just to chill though there also used for tests.


As youve heard and probably had we now get free school lunches although by the time your here they would have changed I can garente that they are good. Lunch is free time where you can play games with your friends or just sit on your computer although your not allowed to go on your phone until your year 10. Lunch goes on for half an hour and like primary where you have morning tea and lunch we have interval and lunchand in the first 2 persiods before intarvil youll get some free food and then go out fro lunch there is also a fridge inbeetwen Ririro and Mohua.

Bad holiday.

Hello welcome back to my blog.


The holidays were a great time for most of us. I was one of the people where it wasn't one of the best holidays I've ever had, but school has started again and like any normal school we all had to do work about our holiday and this time we did a thing called SPILES. I found this very confusing and will find it hard to explain, but will try my best.


Spiles is where you'll line the words up then write something about what happened next to the words.


Social - sat in a car for three hours on the way to Greymouth with my mum, my brother

and our 2 dogs

Physical- ran from the waves

Intellectual - nothing

Like - homemade KFC-like chicken

Emotions - getting irritated to how many kids were there the whole time Success -  nothing



This is where I went

Things to do and See in Greymouth, New Zealand

Protest at Bastion point.

Hello welcome back to my blog.


Today we  have a story about protesting this time its about Bastion point and what they did to save there land we had some questions that we had to answer here is my work.


Discrimination:the act of treating someone unfairly off of how you see them


Prejudice:an opinion formed without knowing all the facts


Stereotype:how you think someone acts based off what they like or look like


Protest:disagreeing with a popular opinion/to express objections in a planned or organised way 


Social messaging:passing of a message or idea from person to person or community


What happened.

The government were going to take the Maoris land and turn it into housing but they didn't agree with this because this was there home or because there was someone burred on it so people protested to keep the land and built huts and lived there for around to years before the police forced them out then bulldozed the plot. 


How did stereotyping and social messaging impact this incident.

With social messaging impacted this incident by the government saying that what they were doing was OK and what the protesters were doing was bad stereotyping I don't know how this happened but i'm guessing they said that all the protesters were violent.


How has this protest impacted new Zealand.

Years after the Maori land were taken they decided to give it back to the Maori this year celebrates the 43 anniversary since the protest.


Thank you for reading my blog I hope you have a nice day bye.

Dawn raids.

 Hello welcome back to my blog.


There was a lot of protests that have happened in new Zealand and around the world but here in new Zealand a protest for something that was horrific was the dawn raids so we got some questions we had to answer here is my work.


Discrimination:the act of treating someone unfairly off of how you see them


Prejudice:an opinion formed without knowing all the facts


Stereotype:how you think someone acts based off what they like or look like


Protest:disagreeing with a popular opinion/to express objections in a planned or organised way 


Social messaging:passing of a message or idea from person to person or community


What happened.

At a time when there wasn't enough people to fill jobs the new Zealand government invited people from Polynesian islands and other places to work here with a permit that would say when they had to leave,after a while the permits were extended but then the jobs become scarce and lots of people became jobless

people blamed it on the people of colour mostly on the Polynesians and would report them to the police and they would do a dawn raid. In a dawn raid they would come at 3 am come into your house and arrest every one even the children and hold you in prison until you could prove you have a right to be here you were not aloud to take anything from your house except the clothes on your back.


How did Stereotyping and social messaging play a role in this incident.

Social messaging was in this incident because the government said that people were taking jobs and blamed it on people of colour mostly Polynesians and this spread around the community causing people who say live next to some who was of colour to report them and take there job.


How has this protest impacted new Zealand

There are now people from all over the world here and there are new rules for the police and people. The government has now apologised for what they did.

Matariki.

Kia ora nau mai, hoki mai ki taku blog he tumanako kia pai to ra.

Hello welcome back to my hope you have a good day.


(I hope that the translasiont was correct if not im sorry) Today we countined to learn about Matariki although araund most of the world it is called Pleiades. Matariki is the celebration of maori new year for all new zealanders but it is found all around the world but called diffrent things and celabrates diffrent things but in new zealed it called Matariki and celabrates people,culture,language,spirituality and history. We had to find three facts about Matariki and then write them down here is my work.


The nine visible stars include: Matariki, Tupuārangi, Waipuna-ā-Rangi, Waitī, Tupuānuku, Ururangi, Waitā, Pōhutukawa and Hiwa-i-te-Rangi. Each star holds a certain significance over our wellbeing and environment, as seen from the Māori view of the world


Did you know in Japan, Matariki is called “Subaru” (coming together or cluster) and the car manufacturer's logo involves six stars to represent 5 companies merging into one.


Compared with other star clusters, Matariki is close to Earth – but it’s still 440 light years away. If you drove there in a car at a speed of 100 kilometres an hour, you would arrive in 4.8 billion years!
