blindfold challenge
On Friday 21st September
2018 room 7 got into buddies to do a Blindfold Challenge
in the classroom. My buddy was Lily. I felt angry and
Because Lily Didn’t Listen. Lily had the blindfold on but she was cheating.
And after Lily was my turn. Lily put the blindfold on me. Next Lily said to
“go straight” and Miss Ashley said to “grab the chair and step forward”.
After that Miss Ashley said to “touch the blue paper.” And the blindfold
challenge was finished. Thanks For looking at my sentence

PE recount
Yesterday we went to PE and we played softball. I didn’t know how to hold the bat or how to stand. Miss ashley soud me how to stand. Timote threw the ball and `hit in the ball and . I ran to the other base. Someone hit the ball and I ran to the next base. I ran to the last base and someone got the ball and put on the base and I got out. I felt happy. After we play rugby. I played with Maria, Lily, Ana, Hiria, Paula, Lopi, Isaia and Timote . Timote passed the ball to me and I had a turn. After that I passed to Lily. I felt angry because Isaia tackled me. We went to the class and the bell rung. I went home.

Editing a story?
Here is our edited story.
Things we learnt about were
We aren’t allowed to use then, and, also and because at the beginning of a sentence.
Speech marks go on the OUTSIDE of the full stop or other punctuation.
The end of a sentence can be marked by a full stop, an exclamation mark or a question mark. You don’t need to put an extra full stop after a question mark.
Remember to check ALL capital letters. Sometimes we need to put them in and sometimes we need to take them out.
On Monday 24th September 2018 Room 7 did a blindfold challenge. We wanted to have fun and make our morning a bit interesting by playing a game.
Firstly Miss Ashley told us the rules which was “no touching the tables or pieces of paper on the floor or you will lose points.“ However you are allowed to touch the chairs because you sometimes have to step over them to get to the end. Next we got into buddies. My buddy was Lucina. We had to line up by the heater in our buddies.
First it was my turn to go so Lucina (my buddy) put the blindfold on me (over my eyes) and helped me to stand up. The blindfold was tight it felt like a constrictor boa on my face. I felt so confused and disorientated because the blindfold was covering my eyes. Lucina told me to “go left, right, straight and step over.” I was feeling nervous and a little bit scared because “what if she was tricking me?“ and I was really doing something silly. I got to the end safely and took my blindfold off.
Next it was my buddies turn so I helped her put the blindfold on. I told her to walk straight first, then next turn left. She doesn’t know her lefts and rights so she went the wrong way.I said “no your other left” and it was a little bit funny. In the end we got to the blue fruit tray and we made it without losing any points!
I think I would like to do this activity again because it was cool to do something different and fun in class especially since it’s the end of the term and I think we are all feeling kind of tired.

Tsunami
How you know when the Tsunami. Is coming it’s when you see. The Water going backwards. And then coming forward. And when it is coming forward it has a lot of power. To bust down houses. And Energy but if you are very far away you got heaps of time to run or you could just run up the mountain or drive a car up the mountain. And sometimes when you are very far the water will go lower and lower like just say that if you are in christchurch and they had a tsunami and if it was coming to Ackland sometime the water goes High then it goes low and when the water goes low that means that the water is losing its energy.
The people are planning for the future so they have everything and they will be safe from the tsunami that could hit them but if there house are stronger and also stronger than the tsunami. People don't have time to get ready because ,they are close to the sea which makes the tsunami much closer to them and they have no time to plan for safely they are to close they have to make time to find a big hill to go on because if you find a tall hill that is taller than the tsunami it would hit you but you will have no time if you have near the water which the tsunami comes. The other people are lucky because as the wave goes it lose it power and strongness and it just a little one and does nothing.

Mary was a beautiful girl who was wearing her long black hair in two plaits. She asked her mum, “can I go to the pools today?”.
“Why do you want to go” mum replied.
“It’s hot and I want to cool off”.
“Fine then”
If it’s only one person, you keep going.
