The haka
This week we performed at the kapa haka festival. And today we had to write a descriptive paragraph about the festival.
The Haka
It was time for the haka. the girls turned and walked to the back and the boys moved forward. I could hear the team stamping their feet. We were ready. The leader yelled kearetie kearitie keamo the rest went hei. The crowd clapped as loud as a heap of bulls running across the land. I slapped my legs till they were berning red. We finished and everyone was cheering as we walked off the stage.

Fireworks
In my class we had to write about a time we saw fireworks.
I enjoyed writing my story.
I found it hard to think of a metaphor in my story.
Fireworks!
The races finished and it was time for the fireworks. I was jumping up and down like there were ants in my pants. I was so excited. A person in a bright orange vest was getting the fireworks ready before it was time to launch the fireworks.
It was time the man in the vest stepped back. We started the countdown 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Bang!, Pop!, Pow! the fireworks launched into the air. They were bombs exploding in the dark sky. Wahoo! I yelled some of the fireworks looked like bullets getting sprayed by a mini gun.
“That was the best,” I said as the fireworks ended. Everyone was cheering. The lights turned on and everyone grabbed their bags and headed for the car park. I opened the car door and said I wish we could see that all again.

Guiatr performence
In my class for writing we were writing about something that we were nervous about.
I enjoyed writing the story.
I found it hard heaps of detail.
Guitar performance
When your nervous it feels like everything you do matters.
I was only ten years old and I was about to perform on my guitar for the very first time.
I thought that this was just a dream I never thought that this would ever happen.
As I grabbed my guitar and made my way to the squeaky wooden seat. I turned my guitar up full volum and waited for the perfect moment. Sweat was dripping down the edge of my forehead with my arms, legs and fingers shaking.
So I started playing my favourite songs saying to myself don't muck up, don't muck up. I ended with an open E string.
When I walked back to my chair everyone stood up and started clapping; they were as loud as fireworks shooting into the air. I felt so relieved everyone loved it. I couldn't believe I actually did that because when you are nervous everything you do matters.

Is music good for your health
In my class we were learning to write persuasive writing.
I enjoyed writing and performing my speech.
I found it hard to think of 3 good reasons about my speech.
My digital learning shows I can use google docs and use online self assessment.
Is music good for your health ?
Is music good for your health? I strongly believe that music is fantastic for your mental health because it can reduce anxiety, pain and helps with sadness. Music often can put people in a good mood and if you play an instrument it can be very therapeutic for your mind. I personally don't find anything better than listening or playing music.
Firstly, I strongly agree music is a great thing if you are feeling down. Music played by a piano makes you calm, changes your attitude and is soothing for the mind. Slow music is good for meditating and makes your breathing slow down which then slows down your heart. Music that is upbeat can put you in the groove and make you feel ready for your day. Rock music makes you let loose and go wild . Scientists have said that some music can even help with depression. It reduces muscle pain and it can control your mental health.
Secondly, Without a doubt music is good for you because it can make your brain stronger. Music can restore functions after very bad accidents like crashes. Music fixes the brain. Music can improve movement in patients that have had a stroke or people that have a type of disease. Music does way more than put people in good moods. It is a musical medicine.
Lastly, There is no question that music can make you smarter. New research says if you regularly play an instrument it can change the shape and power of your brain because it makes you use both sides of your brain. If you play a guitar it can make your fingers very technical and if you play the drums you have to move your hands and feet at the same time to try and make a good beat and that can be very difficult.
In conclusion I have told you 3 reasons why music can help you. I personally think this is why you should play a musical instrument or listen to music more. When I am sad I go and play my guitar and it makes me feel way better.
Address the audience, Rhetorical questions and facts and opinions.

Goblin shark
Goblin shark is part of the mitsukurinidae family. They are known as deep sea meat eating monster when they are actually harmless. Their teeth are made for grabbing. Predators to them are other sharks but manly blue sharks.
Goblin sharks have soft, flabby and blade-like bodies. They have a long snout that looks like a piece of pallet wood. Goblin sharks are 3.8 meters long and can live up to 30-35 years. They have a bright blue color on the edge of their fin and have extremely sharp teeth.
The goblin shark lives in open oceans from near the surface to depths of at least 1300 meters deep. Scientists have said that goblin sharks only come near to shore at night but mostly stay in the deep water. They live in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and because the goblin shark lives so deep they have to eat other sharks and rays as well as crustaceans.
Goblin sharks use electro body organs to sense their food. Their mouth propales out then grabs their fish and swallows it whole. Just like other animals the goblin shark protects itself by camouflage. I think that goblin sharks are hideous creatures and that’s what makes them interesting to me.

Lock Down Writing
In my class, we had to write a lockdown story.
I enjoyed writing the story.
I found it hard to use lots of words ending with ly.
My digital learning I can use adjectives and verbs.
Lockdown
Beep beep beep! Screemed my blasting alarm clock. JoyfulyI woke up and it was really weird because it was so quiet. I got dressed, ate my breakfast, put my flash blue shoes on and then went outside. I hoped on my highlighter green and black bike and was riding it up and down my extrodinary long driveway. There were no nossy trucks, no revving cars, only a couple people going for walks. I could hear the calm chirping bird’s and the fresh smell of lavender in the garden
I thought to myself what should I do I would Usually be getting ready for school. (Light bulb) I know what! Why dont I play my guitar. I sped to my room faster then flash snached my guitar and plugged in my dark black amp. I started jamming out playing some of my favourite bands (nirvana, red hot chili peppers, weezer, metallica and foo fighters). I was playing like I was at a rock concert.
When everyone in my house was up we went for an extra long walk all the way to Aberdeen road, to te hapara store all the way home. (That was sssssooooo long) I said.
When it got closer to the end of the day we watched a super cool show called running wild it's got an adventurer called bear grylls. He takes famous people on adventures and they have to survive and eat yuck stuff like worms, dead birds and he has the smartest brain if he is even in the dessert he probably could make a fire. And they can only use stuff in the wild and what they have. (yawn) Ah it feels sooper nice just to come back from a big day and just relax.
