A Boy Gets A Surprise After  No One Came To His Birthday
A group of police came to a 10-year-old boy birthday party after no one turned up. The poor boy had invited 21 people. The mum of boy wrote a message on facebook about how sad she was. When one policeman saw it he got in contact with her and went to the boys party.  They ate cake and played basketball. I think this was very sweet of the police officers. I wonder how the boy felt? There were no words that I found tricky in the article. I got my info from http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org

My Mum

My mum is a caring, kind, lovely and adventuress lady. She works for Air New Zealand. She loves to explore new things and she is really fit. I am writing a post about her because I am soo proud of her. Right now she is in Nepal she is climbing up mount Everest. She will be away for 15 days and will be climbing for 12. She is climbing up to the base camp (that Sir Edman Hillary stayed at). It is -230C and is 17,600 ft high.  At the bottom of the mountain it is not that cold but every day she climbs she will need to put on more layers of clothes to kept her warm. So she has packed a lot of clothes and even has thermal underwear. If you are reading this mum, love you.

Team Goal Refection

This week's team goal was that we can all make I positive choices that are right for our OWN learning. I think this is great because can keep us all on track. This week if my friends called me over to sit by them I wound say that I had to do my work and I would be distracted if I sat by them. It helped me to get things done faster. I also chose to sit in the quiet zone to help me get things done.

Writing Sample Evaluation

Evaluation
My writing is called  The Green Slide
It is a: Personal Recount about going on the green water slide on the weekend.
I wrote it to: Share my writing skills in and cool story about something I have done.
One of my learning goals was to: Use complex words.
I achieved it because I have used many words that I have not used before that make my story better.
My other learning goal was: Recraft text by revising and editing. Which I have done heaps in this story.

The Green Slide
I was pretty ready but I still felt the butterflies fluttering in the bottom of my tummy. The words “Face my fears, face my fears” were spinning around in my head. I jumped in the green waterslide not knowing what an energy rush I was about to have. The warm water lapped by my side. Making me feel alive. I gripped onto the cold hard metal bar and gave a good hard pull and went down the slide. The green slide lit up by the blistering bright sun and from the inside, it looked like a lime green color. I layed back onto my back. It was so peaceful and slow that I thought how much of a chicken I was.  

My thoughts got interrupted by a big drop in the slide. I started speeding down and down. I sat up quickly in shock. My hair went flying crazily behind me as I went bouncing wildly down the green tube. I knew that there was no way to slow down so I just had to try to enjoy the speed. I went down a little more and there was another drop way bigger than the last one. I started to second guess my decision to go on the slide. Again I went rapidly racing down but this time, I was speeding a lot faster.  I knew that the bottom had to be coming up, but it didn't.  

The peaceful glowing green slide had turned into one of the most monstrous and scariness water slide I have ever been. It was like the slide was trying to make me scared. My thoughts again got interrupted by the light at the end of the tunnel, it was about to end! I bounced up and hit my head on the top of the slide and  I plugged like a diver into the water. Making a massive splash. I felt like the bricks on my shoulders had been lifted off. I had finished the slide.
