Water Gun Catastrophe!

Stomping coming from inside as the noise gets louder and louder I realise what is about to happen ..I jump inside the garage behind my brothers bike ,fred staring at me like I’m a lunatic but staying right where he is with his water gun completely unaware of what is about to happen.”FRED WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY WINDOWS …I’VE JUST CLEANED THEM!!!” Mum shouts furiously ”but..but.. But...I..uhhhh…” “NO! GO TO YOUR ROOM!” .As I see Fred walk off with his head down … I feel a glimmer of guiltiness rush through my body as if I had broken a child’s toy ….pfft As if!

Show Don't Tell

We were given a challenge to be shown a photo and do a piece of show don't tell writing... which is
basically where you have to write describing a moment of emotion and have to list down the amount of things that we can see with describing without telling the reader what the emotion is and then we get to decide why they are so emotional I decided since it was a child that I would do something which I know I hated as a small child !!we then had to colour code everything which would be a clue to how this person is feeling.... enjoy!

Show Don’t Tell

Head tilted down ,eye bags ,underneath my death stare starting its engine

“I CAN’T BELIEVE IT … NO WAY !!” I shout “I'M NOT DOING IT !!”

My death stare getting stronger and stronger hoping she’ll disappear .

I clench my fists and stomp my feet .

Coming towards me to stop my emotion .Mum reaches for me in a steady grasp .”NNOO Let Me GO!”

I scream .But I am defenceless … Mum has already started doing the worst thing she could ……. BRUSHING MY HAIR!!!!

Scary Injections-My Holiday Story

The day I had been dreading for weeks .

But it has to happen

        or something much worse could happen.I walk into the unknown

medical service which was even more scary .

The white and cream walls reminding me of the possibilities, I could faint, I could puke .

The blue marbled floor with its detailed splotchy pattern with a clear coat making the surface slippery .

Waiting on the uncomfortable plastic chairs of the waiting room,with every nurse doctor

and receptionist walking past a thought bounces into my brain,

“Is it my turn? Is it my turn?” Finally someone announces “Jillian Ransby”as my mum and I stand up and follow the nurse into a room with a dark blue door and a small tinted window.  After a few minutes of talking the nurse leaves and then returns.  I place my sunglasses on to hide my fear of needles and to stop anyone  seeing the tears forming in the corner of my eyes.  I know what’s coming, it’s exactly like at the dentist when I was getting my filling.   They got me to hold an electric toothbrush (as if that was going to work ).   I could see the needle in his hand and FREAKED OUT!!!  But not this time,there was no escape now …  now the needle was an inch away from reaching my skin .I try to squirm away but it’s too late, the needle has already punctured my skin   .I hold my breath and it’s over within an eyeblink.  Only one left to go and then done for 10-20 years I think, but there’s one problem ……..

It’s GARDASIL !

Genius Hour Reflection

Driving Question:How might we make old clothing that we already had.Into clothing which we could have bought at a store.

The first day of Genius hour Me and Ash-lee had decided on making old boring recycled clothes, into new fashionable clothing we were both really excited about this.But I had forgotten to bring some clothes !

We spent the entire time discussing what we were going to do .

We have decided on two outfits possibly three ;) .

Here is a sneak peek of what we will be making:

5km Run

I recently did a 5km run with my dad on the Waitarere running course and my parents decided to surprise me with my friends coming to meet me at the finish line .Which ended in a funny result as I was so happy to see my friends but wanting to keep running at the same time so I started waving my hands in the air and running at the same time I looked like I had seen a volcano erupting.but I was SOOOOO happy red faced and all :).
