My independent writing task - Worst Mistake

Worst Mistake

My worst mistake I have ever did was when I broke my neighbor's window. My brother and I were playing soccer outside. We were trying to score a goal. We used our shoes for the goal’s. After my brother had a turn, it was my turn. I kicked the ball so hard it went up so high and my neighbor’s window broke. I felt scared and nervous. My brother and I ran to our house so fast.

When a lady came out to look at the broken window I knew I was in trouble. The lady doesn’t know who broke the window. She called the novis to get a new window. I told my parents that I broke our neighbor's window. My parents was very angry and went out to tell that It was me that broke her window. So my parents had to pay for the window. My brother and I had to come out to say sorry. After that I had to play soccer with my brother carefully.

Title - I survived ( The attacks of September 12, 2001)

Author - Lauren Tarshis

I would recommend this book to: Teagan because he was born on the exact same day when this happened. I think he will like this book because its a really interesting book. Its about a boy who survived from a plane that crashed into a building, and it wasn't an accident, but a bad guy did it on purpose. The boy was really closed to the building, but lucky that the boy survived.

Thai New Year (Food in my culture)

Thai New Year

My family and I celebrate Thai New Year every year. Thai New Year is called Songkran. We would go to the temple to celebrate Thai New Year, everyone has to bring Thai food to the temple. There would be a lot of Thai food to eat. My family would always bring Sticky Rice and  Som Tam. Some people would bring some spare  clothes.

They bring spare clothes because people would be splashing water on to each other, that’s a way of celebrating Thai New Year. Every time when it’s Thai New Year I would always get wet. After they  played some people would go and get changed and go eat their lunch. Some people leave their wet clothes on so they can play after again.

I would go and eat my breakfast first. For my breakfast I eat Pad Thai. After I eat my breakfast I would go and play. After I play I would go and get changed and go and eat my lunch. For lunch I eat Sum Tam and Sticky Rice. Sum Tam is really spicy and it’s also really yummy. After I eat I would go and have a rest.

After lunch my family and I would pack up to go home. Thai New Year is really fun for me. I go to Thai Temple every year for Thai New Year. Most of the time I would always bring Sum Tam and sticky rice, because it’s one of my favourite foods.

Bee Movie

Bee Movie

Bee movie is a really fun movie, it’s a cartoon movie. This movie is for any age to watch. There is one bee who graduated from college and had to choose one job. If he chooses a job he has to work for that job forever.

This movie is also a good example for everyone to look after the world, to look after the plants and trees. He didn’t like the way that he had to work the same job for ever. On a special trip outside the hive, Barry saw a girl named Vanessa. Barry was getting attacked by a man but then Vanessa came and help Barry, Barry was now safe. Barry started to like Vanessa because she saved his life.

All the bees wanted people not to sell their honey anymore. There was actually a rule to all the bees, that they can’t talk to humans but the only bee that talked to a human was Barry.  After all the humans understand that it was not good to kill the bees, so they started to not kill bees.

I like the movie because it is a really good example to people to look after the world and to look after the plants and trees.

The fence

The girl was standing near the fence, at her grandmother’s old cottage.  Her grandmother passed away last week.  She looked at the sky and was thinking about her grandmother, and how she watched the clouds with her. Her grandmother would always tell her stories when she was alive. When the girl was standing there she would always hear her grandmother’s voice. She would also smell the chocolate cupcakes that her grandmother would always make just for her.

Getting in AFF

(Auckland Football Federation)

I remember it like it was yesterday that my soccer coach nominated me to go to trial for AFF (Auckland Football Federation) I was really excited and really happy when I found out on my dad’s email. The trial was on Sunday at Western Springs. When I first got there I went to see my name on the paper sheet and I told the girl my name, after I told her my name she gave a bib with a number and it was a green bib. I went on the field for a warm up. After warm I went to line up with the green bibs, so the people with green bibs are in my team.

The first game we were playing against the blue bibs team. I played really well, the first game ended and I didn’t know if we were done. I asked one of the coaches, he told me there were 3 more games to go. I went for a drink then came back to the coach. The coach told all of us our next game. My team were playing against the yellow bib game. The third game My team played against the orange bib team. The last game my team played against pink bibs team. After the game ended, We went to the coach and he told us that he will be telling us who is going to get in AFF about next week.

Everyday I would check my dad’s email to see if the AFF coach had emailed my dad if I got in. A week later I came back from school and went on the computer to check my dad’s email. I saw the email called AFF. I clicked on it and it said that I got in the AFF. I was really happy. I told my dad and my dad was also happy. I remember this like it was yesterday.

Soccer explanation

Soccer

Soccer is a really good sport, and has been very popular in many countries. There’s a lot of female professional soccer players as well as men. It is a team sport which has 11 players in each team. Every player has their own position. If you don’t follow the rules you can get a yellow card or if it is really bad you can get a red card.

There are about 7 position together.  There is Center back, Left back, Right back, Left wing, Right wing, Midfielder and Striker. Center back is a position who stays at the back of the field most of the time, also left back and right back. Midfielders and wingers have to know how to defend and attack. The strikers have the position up front, they are also the player who mostly scores the goals.

Soccer has a lot of rules. Every player can’t use their hands, they can only use their legs to kick the ball. Only the goalkeeper can use their hands. You cannot push players, if you push players over you can get a card. If you don’t follow the rules you can get a yellow card or if you did something really bad you can get a red card. A yellow card means its a warning, A red card means that you did something really bad and you will get sent off the game. And if you get 2 yellow cards you will get sent off as well. There is a player who plays for Real Madrid who is a really dirty player. His name is Pepe. He gets a lot of red cards.

Real Madrid is a really big club, they are one of the biggest clubs in the world.They have one of the best players in the world known as Cristiano Ronaldo. They have won about 116 trophies all together. Barcelona is also one of the biggest club in the world. They have won about 100 trophies all together. They also have one of the best players in the world Lionel Messi. Messi is the best player in the world, he has scored the most goals in the world. Manchester United has won about 62 trophies together. Manchester United is one of the richest club in the world.

Soccer is a good sport for everyone to play. It always has to be 11 people a side or if you are just playing with your friends it can be 4 players a side or it can be 7 players a side. Everyone has to play fairly and can’t cheat. If you cheat the game will not be fun.

Title - Teens at war
Author - Allan Zullo
Type of book - Biography
Activity - Sidekick

There is a boy that is 14 years old. He was a really young soldier. He went to a war when he was 15 years old. He actually had to wait until he is 16 years old but it was his choice.

If it was me I would wait until I'm 16 years old. If  I was 15 years old it would be to young. I would go to the war when I'm 16. So I can get fitter and learn how to shoot better.

How to fish eels

How to fish For eels

Here is how you fish eels. When you fish eels, you need a sack of sheep guts to attack the eels attention and tie the rope to a lamp.

Once  you’ve done that you lower the sack of guts with the lamp. An eel hunts by smelling. Not by seeing. Thats why you use some sheep guts to attract them.
