Story Sample

The hike was plain sailing, the jungle was twisted, but easy to navigate.

“We just have to find a plane.” Said Rudy sarcastically.

“Take it easy, imagine this is a nature hi-” Ethan started saying, before something caught his eye. “The heck is that?”

Suddenly a large red flash ran past them, followed soon by a beige one. The group was surrounded. Feathers glistening, teeth sharp, eyes hungry.

“We’re surrounded.” Whimpered Rudy.

“No [Bleep].” Replied Ethan.

The raptors looked like they were about to pounce, but something stopped them, then the group saw her. Black, darker than the night, with blood red and stone grey feathers. A large scar slashed across her face. Half a foot taller than the rest of the pack. This Deinonychus wasn’t normal. This Deinonychus was a monster.

“Oh god.” Muttered Cassandra.

The Deinonychus chirped something to the pack, who circled around the trio. Suddenly one of the females let out a screech and pounced in front of Rudy.

“RUN!” Screamed Cassandra as the dinosaurs gave chase.

Cassandra dashed past the big one, who snapped at her, before running at her. Cassandra rolled under a fallen log, getting a male stuck inside. Another male started snapping at her, so Cassandra punched it in the jaw. Cassandra continued running, Rudy ran beside her.
“Where’s Ethan?!” He asked.

“No clue!” Cassandra screamed back.

Cassandra jumped over a long, but tripped, falling into a puddle. Big Grey jumped up onto the log behind her, growling. Cassandra screamed, and got up, turned around and started sprinting. Big Grey jumped into the puddle and went back to chasing her. 

“GET TO THE RIVER!” Screamed Ethan, who was on the other side of the rapids splitting the jungle.

Cassandra climbed onto a fallen tree lying above the river, and started crawling across. Suddenly the tree started snapping, falling in half and flying down the river. Cassandra jumped across to the other side, reuniting with Ethan.

“Where’s Rudy?” Ethan asked, just as Rudy slammed out of the jungle, Deinonychus chasing him.

Rudy didn’t notice the river, and he fell in.

“RUDY!” Screamed Cassandra.

Rudy splashed and screamed as he started getting dragged away, Cassandra grabbed his backpack just as the Raptors burst from the forest, one slammed into the river, getting torn away from the group. Cassandra pulled Rudy across the rapids, bringing him to safety. The grey one looked over at the freshly escaped meal, clicked her sickle claw on the ground, and walked back into the jungle.

This is a story sample from my story ‘The Lost Island’, which is about a dinosaur island run by drug dealers. My focus for the story was conflict and resolution, and I think I did pretty well, at least for this chapter, as it starts with the group being surrounded, and ends with the group escaping. I would say my next step is finishing my story, because it’s not finished yet.

Refletion VI

This week was okay, I didn’t do much, but I did help out the juniors with choice and challenge, my group was art, and we had to help out those in card making because we did not have any kids come to do art. I worked with a group of little kids who all asked me to draw random stuff on their cards, like one girl, who drew a kitten and told me to make it a zombie kitten, or kid who told me to draw an evil cat, and a giant evil robot with a knife hand. This week was overall okay, but it was fun drawing with the juniors.

Reflection V

Hello,

Week five has been really good. This week I helped some children with their PAT Math Tests by reading to them, the one I was with did pretty good. Next time I help the kids I’m going to have to be clearer, because the children sometimes wouldn’t understand me. Overall week five was a good week, but I didn’t do as many cool things as I did in the last four weeks, but I did help the juniors.

Fitness Goal

Hello, today we did some fitness, and we needed to make our fitness goals. My goal was to get better at running half of the track without stopping, because I’m kind of slow when I’m not motivated and get puffed when I’m not motivated. I think that if I don’t focus on something random, I could get faster.

Reflection 2, the second Reflection, II

This week was a good week back at school, for the purpose of this reflcetion I will be talking about Technology. The bus ride was chaotic and we were as bit late, but it was cool when we got to the place. I was doing cooking, and made a quesadilla, it was pretty fun! A struggle was my wrap always falling apart, but I did well and it was very tasty. In short it was fun. I hope to do Tech sometime in the near future, maybe Thursday, because that’s always when I do Tech.

Week 1 Reflection

This is my reflection of Week 1 at Rawhiti school.

I was pretty exited, as I would get to see my friends and teachers again, but also a bit scared, since I’m now a Year 8.

A positive was that my freinds from Tane Mahuta are now in the class with me, and the teachers are really nice.

A challenge was writing all that stuff down and shortening the sentences in the topic book, but I managed to do it!

As you can see, my first week was a bit chaotic, but it was an overall good start to the year.
