The Lego Story

In the year of 1932 there was a man of the name Oli, he had a wife and four boys, he was a carpenter and his business started to struggle. Sadly his wife died and there was no money for the kids on the following christmas. He wanted to carry on the business, so they will have enough food for christmas.

Oli made new toys. He used wood and he decorated the shop a little bit more, he had to type some things out, but he wasn't very fast, so his son came to help.

A man came in to the shop and would change Oli’s life because he wanted to buy a whole lot of his toys. So Oli and his son got a large order started, but sadly they got a call from the man saying he had no money and was bankrupt and could not buy the toys.

Oli eventually bought a plastic moulding machine for making blocks. This was the start of the lego blocks as we know them today. To this day children love playing with lego blocks because of Oli.

Pigeon Impossible

Plot: In the story Pigeon Impossible there was a man who had a mysterious silver case in his hand but it was handed to him by an unknown person on the streets. He found a chair on the side of the road and he had a seat. Next a pigeon came flying down to him because he was eating his lunch which was a donut. The pigeon’s eyes were stuck on the bagel for a while, but then he finally he went to try and get it Walter did not let him have any. So the pigeon got angry then suddenly he saw the case and jumped in the case, he closed it and pushed a heap of buttons. The buttons in the case were actually weapons, then things got worse. Walter pushed the button that lead to the rocket so he gave his lunch to the pigeon and the pigeon gave him the case. Walter had to fly up into the air and kill the rocket so it would stop, before he blew it up the pigeon followed him up in the air and the donut was in his case, so he opened his case up and I dropped the donut and it fell through the clouds.  After Walter had shot it down with the missile he also went down to the ground but he didn’t fall he flew down, Walter got back to the ground then saw the Pigeon eating the donut. Walter walked away and next it was time for something bad to happen to the Pigeon he got squashed by the part of the rocket.

Problem:The Pigeon wanted the donut, Walter could get his case from the bird,The bird got squashed by the rocket, rocket was activated.

Solution:Walter got his case back form the Pigeon, Walter stopped the rocket, the Pigeon got squished.

Your opinion of the story:My opinion of Pigeon Impossible is that it was funny because
something bad happens to the Pigeon for his naughty behavior.

My Opinion

My Opinion of this YouTube clip is that I thought it was impressive because the people in the clip were floating in the air and it was just amazing. They also had awesome costumes that were glowing in the dark that's why the people were cheering.

Reflection on last three weeks

In the past few weeks I have been learning how to use my netbook, when I got my very first netbook I was very excited then  I kept learning more and more with a little help from my friend Ana, she has been very helpful to me with my work. I am still learning but getting better all the time. It has been very great working in Miss G's class, she has also been helpful to me and the class.
We are also learning how to speak in Maori, I have been practising lots I am almost finished with my practise.  

Diggity.

I knelt beside/ Next to Diggity.  He made no effort/ attempt to get up.  His neck was a pulpy mass/ a lump of blood, and his rib cage rose and fell unevenly/  bumpily  .  Dad scooped/picked him up into his arms and staggered/ walk falteringly  up the beach.  Mum and Lucy were already in the car with the hatch/ boot up and engine running.  The vet said Diggity had lost heaps/ loads of blood.  The outlook/ the view wasn’t good.  When the phone rang/buzzed later that evening, nobody was in a hurry to answer/reply to it.  But Diggity did survive.

Peculiar Person

I’m a most peculiar person,

As almost everyone knows.

I’ve a crown on the top of my head,

And nails grow out of my toes.

I’ve eardrums that help me hear.

And eyeballs that help me see,

And there’s even a mole on the tip of my nose,

Yes, there’s nobody quite like me.

I’ve got ‘mussels’ that grow in my arms and my legs,

And shoulder blades on my back.

I’ve a rib-cage to hold my heart in -

There’s really not much that I lack.

There’s a button that does up my tummy,

And my funny-bone keeps me amused.

When I look at myself in the mirror,

It’s no wonder I feel confused.

I’m a most unusual person,

And even my doctor agrees,

For that’s what he said when he came to examine

The caps that I have on my knees.

And I sometimes get pins and needles,

When it’s raining cats and dogs,

But what else could you really expect,

From a person whole throat’s full of frogs!
