An Icy Plunge

The young pup peered down into the icy water below with a growing feeling of trepidation. Only a few days old, she had learnt so much already from watching her mother, but this challenge was her greatest so far.

How would it feel to be submerged? What would she find lurking underneath the surface? How would ever she get back onto dry land?

Questions flooded her mind like a torrent of icy water, but bravely she inched closer to the edge… She slid closer and closer until Plop! She had gracefully fell into the water including a little plop from the water. Soon she had reached the bottom of the ice cold water, nothing was stopping her. The water was rushing past her face like silk. She was swimming as fast as she could so she could reach the island that she had been wanting to visit after swimming for 10 minutes!

FInally she was there. She pulled herself up with all her might on to the icy island. She felt proud of herself and she knew that her mum was very proud of her as well.

A Walk Into Wonderland

This is my piece of writing that I am very proud of. I love all of the questions that I have put in there and I love how I included different colours and pictures to make it interesting to look at and read.

  The Time I took a stroll into

                    WONDERLAND

           

I was quickly attaching the name tags to my backpacks with my phone number as well as my name on it, then I packed the heavy backpacks into my sky blue Range Rover and hit the road. Out of town.

Whilst I was driving I came across a HUGE Castle and a beautiful garden that I knew people must play croquet on. I took a turn and drove over the gravelly driveway.

I knocked nervously on the polished gold and silver doors, I twiddled my thumbs as they slowly creaked open, I walked anxiously into the spacious red, black, silver and gold castle.

I could tell that whoever lived here must be a very big fan of the colour red!

I silently crept two steps then stopped and I stood there shocked and while I was taking it all in I noticed that every single thing was red:

• Red checkered flooring
• Red modern couch
• Red coffee table...

    And so on…

This was very awkward and interesting at the same time,

Because there was pigs running around like crazy chickens and frogs making raspberry jam tarts, Whilst Red haired, big headed woman was sitting at the table reading a book and funny enough the book was red!

Suddenly the guards started charging at me with big huge silver swords!

I gasped knowing that my adventure, well maybe even my life was going to end.

The woman shrieked with all her might and then she took a good look at me and noticed who I really am.

“Oh WOW! It’s really you!" Yes Aunty Iracebeth” (By the way Iracebeth is the Queen of hearts  )

“did you pass my tweedle dee and tweedle dum they are my cute little fat boys!” said Aunty Iracebeth

Reading the story can you guess who I really am?

Maori Problem

SOLVING PATTERNS!

SOLVING FISH PATTERN:




The rule in this pattern is x3 +2 because the first fish has got one head ( 3 sticks ) then the second fish has two heads ( 6 sticks ) and then the third one has 3 heads ( 9 sticks )  So they are just counting up in 3s but don't forget the tail which each one has two sticks so that means it is x3 +2! sticks

Ask any questions on the comments if you are confused on this problem. I will be putting more patterns on the blog soon.

The Shy Puppy Recount

The Shy Puppy

“There are 7 puppies in the cage over there” Michelle explained

I nervously, skipped over to the enclosed play area on the luscious, green grass in the tree surrounded garden.

Looking, we couldn’t see 7 puppies in the play area we could only spot 6!?

I examined the cage for the other puppy. Michelle brought out some dog biscuits and put them in the bowl.That made the shy puppy come out. We had seen the most beautiful dog we had ever seen in our life. The dog we had seen was a black moodle with a white chest and one white paw.

Soon we were driving home. We knew that the puppy we had seen that day was the one.

Later that day we went to the Rose and Shamrock for dinner.

A couple of minutes later. . .

Dad went quiet; then he sat up straight and said “Guinness” as he picked up his drink he said it it again “Guinness.”

That is what we should call the dog, Guinness.     

The next day we drove to Michelle’s house and picked up our puppy Guinness. We got home and welcomed him to our house and Lewis and I played in the garden with Guinness and we got him some toys.

Mum and Dad were setting up Guinness’s play pen and then we heard a knock on the door, It was my Auntie and Uncle and my two cousins. They were here to see Guinness but all they did was steal him away from me.

I asked Guinness to come into my room but he just seemed to only care about Michael, Phoebe and Lewis. It then made me think, maybe Guinness and I aren’t going to be best friends after all.

A couple of days later…

Guinness and I were running around the house being crazy. Bang, Crash! we tumbled around on my bed then ran around again Crash, Bang! we jumped on the sofa. All of a sudden we hear some footsteps “Oh no,” I whispered to Guinness, “Dad’s coming” We found ourselves in some very awkward positions on the couch. Guinness was under a pillow somehow and I was upside down!

Now I can look back on that day and find it very funny, because now Guinness and I are best friends.
