Unusual Endangered Animals

Bula Vinaka bloggers, 

Today we did a listening activity about unusual endangered animals. After we collected the information we needed, we got to choose which one we wanted to write about, and inform people about these animals so they can help take care of them. Here is my piece of writing about Tree Kangaroos. 

Tree kangaroos live in Australia, specifically Queenstown. They are rain forest dwellers, and are very endangered. They look faintly smaller than normal kangaroos, and are slightly more fuzzier too. Tree kangaroos, because of their smaller appearance, seem friendlier than a normal kangaroo. The reason why these harmless animals are endangered, is because there is a lot of deforestation for building new things, and also because of hunters killing these animals. 

I hope you will be more cautious of these animals and will be informed on why they are endangered. 

See you later blogging world!

My Favorite Place at Hay Park School

Namaste bloggers!

For our writing task today, we had to describe our favorite place at our school - Hay Park School. I am going to describe my classroom (Room 8). 

My classroom gives me comfort, as I feel safe and protected. All of the beautiful, dazzling artwork occupies my mind as the sweet smell of peaches tingles my nose. I can feel the warm heater blasting soothing heat towards me, and the sound of background talking goes in one ear, and out the other. The whiteboard is filled with fun learning while the tapping of (annoying) chromebook keys faintly gets quieter. Above the absolutely messy pile of books and the teachers workbooks, is the bulky active board which is our main learning resource - as it is connected to the computer. Nepali luck flags gently sway back and fourth to the beat of the heater's toasty breeze. There are teacher certificates, which proudly hang from the wall as our teacher has won many awards for being an amazing person and educator. Muffled ticking from our decorative clock, which is new because we have had accidents before, makes time go slow so we can study in class longer. 

I hope you've enjoyed my writing. Please feel free to leave a comment and give me feedback. 

I blog you later!

Maori Learning with Papa Jarrod

Homework Writing Task

Kia Ora bloggers,

Today I am going to share a piece of writing, which is part of my homework. It is inspired by a book that we have been reading during class time.

The fire and ashes burned around me, my legs barely able to withstand my weight. I escaped the attack just in time, but I lost my three best mates- the ones who cared for me, loved me, prayed for me, helped and supported me. They were my second family. The immense heat blasted me with powerful, toxic fumes, as the blazingly hot flames climbed for the sky. It made its way up the colossal trees, looking like a second sun. I had lost the people dearest to me, but my only comfort was Lina the blue whale teddy. I clutched her against my chest. The long, sea-blue tail, ceased to exist anymore, and her once vibrant eyes, were now two holes. Even though I was trapped in a forest, which I knew very well, I was paralyzed in total shock. My face was emotionless, and I felt numb, from head to toe. The sky became fainter and fainter, and a big thump smacked the back of my head.

The next time I observed the environment around me, the stars barely met my squinting eyes, as the deadly fire inched closer to my shoulder. I jumped, with Lina still tightly attached to me. Her burnt stuffing spilled all over the earth. I heard her in my imagination, whispering "It's ok. You will get out of this place in time for Christmas." I forced my lips into a strained smile, not realizing that she and I weren't alone. "Hello dear darling... come follow me" said a strangely familiar, deep, dark voice behind me. My heart pounded out of my chest, and I started swimming in sweat. I pushed my neck slowly towards the voice, but before I got a proper glimpse, my hand shot forwards into the cold, damp hands of the unknown figure. Screaming filled the freezing silence, as my shoulder shook slightly. I shuffled my shoulder, attempting to let myself free. The tapping still continued. It got more and more aggressive, until I suddenly heard the same familiar, deep voice. "Gargee, wake up! You're still asleep! C'mon, you're already late for school. I hope it's not another one of your nightmares again..." My eyes quickly opened, and I leaped out of bed, ready to go to school.


I hope you enjoy reading my piece of writing. This is fictional and the main idea comes from a book we've been reading. Feel free to write a comment and give me feedback.
