Anna’s journey through middle school

Monday 2015

“So, today is my first day in 9th grade. I am so nervous because I don't know anyone there because all the people I know have moved to a different school because they all got bullied. My parents don’t have enough money to move so I’m gonna be stuck being bullied by those big fat idiot jerks!”

This is my boom writer writing for the boom writing competition.

I am proud because I usualy can not think of a topic for my storys but I thought of this one really well and I wrote it faster then I usualy write storys.

this is just the start so there is more to come about Anna's journey through middle school.

My goal was to use personal voice and I think I put a little bit of it in my story. This is the part that I used personal voice in.

"I'm gonna be stuck being bullied by those big fat idiot jerks!"

Kapahaka

On Friday 40 kids from Frankley school went to the Kapahaka performance at the  Hawera Hub. We performed in the performance not the competition.

I reckon we did really well in our performance. The songs we sang were: Ka waiata, e tu kahikatea, te aroha and puto puto.

Mata pae pae dislocated her leg when she was playing the guitar on stage behind a group, she was taken away in an ambulance.

For the competition West-End School came 2nd.

Pama and Maaka did really well with saying the karakia and all of their little amazing solos! Also Tia did so well when she led the song e tu kahikatea on her own! I think we did amazing in our performance!

Once

Once I escaped from an orphanage to find my Mum and Dad.

Once I nearly got shot by a Nazi in an army truck beside a river that turned red from human blood.

Once I saved a little girl called Zelda from a burning house and she didn’t know her parents were dead.

Once I made a Nazi with a toothache laugh

   My name is Felix

  This is my story

I am reading a book called “Once” and it's about a boy called Felix who wants to find his long lost parents while he is taking an adventure through war in 1942!

In this book I have used the reading strategy asking questions so I can understand the text better, This is one of the questions I asked, “How does Barney look after the kids and keep them hidden from the Nazi soldiers?”

Asking questions while you’re reading.

Asking questions in reading means if you read something for example

“I turn to see Captain  Woodenhead emerging from the maze of doom” You ask questions about it. I asked…

Who is captain Woodenhead?

Where is the maze?

Why is the maze called the maze of doom?

Who turns around and sees captain Woodenhead?

Why is the captain called captain Woodenhead?

You can get a lot of questions out of one sentence!

I put pink glasses on my avatar because my Erlinsindrone glasses are pink. I love going to Taupo with my family in the summer holidays, we stay at our caravan in "Motateri bay". I have short brown hair. I like going in my Poppas boat on lake Taupo. I am wearing these clothes because I like wearing t-shirt's and long pants.
