Ghosts

A couple months ago, we wrote a story with a reliever. She had a bunch of photos and we all had to pick one and write a story about one. I chose a photo with the ghost lady, because I like writing scary stories.   So let's recap.....     
comment if you see this :)
THERE IS THE PHOTO → 

HERE IS THE STORY↓

It was a mid-day chilly Saturday and all of the town bundled up in warm clothing, I decided to take a walk in the town park, I started walking with the wind in my long blonde, curly hair. It flew around like the autumn leaves as they fell delicately to the crispy ground. My little blonde puppy barked and tried to eat the multi colored leaves. My leather jacket was keeping my upper body warm while my ripped skinny jeans kept my lower body warm, I had a grey woolen beanie with a fluffy pom-pom and a furry inside which covered my long silk hair. I skipped along the path my brown boots clopping on the ground. I seemed to be the only person in the wood. I would soon find out why. I slowed to a walk to find a bench, which wasn’t hard because there was a large opening with orange trees circling it. In the middle of the lush grass was a woman on the baby blue colored bench enjoying a book. She looked as if she was in the 1900s as she wore a long white scarf wrapping around her neck, her shirt was long sleeved and black and she had a flimsy grey skirt which had black squares. I figured her legs were crossed because her legs were not in sight. My puppy growled at the woman who didn’t seem to notice. I figured my pup was growling at the womans dog but I still was at the border of the trees so I guess she didn’t hear. I bent down and pushed my hair behind my ear. “Don’t” I quietly scolded my dog. He stopped at my voice but stared at the woman. The trees whispered in the wind and the leaves started to fall repeatedly. “Come sit down young lady there’s enough room” A raspy, old woman's voice said. I started to walk robotically, staring at my shoes. I sat down and hurriedly said “Sorry about my dog she doesn’t feel sure about…” My voice trailed off as I slowly looked up at the woman. Her face. Was, gone. Her hands were nowhere. Her legs definitely weren't crossed. She was a ghost. I never really got scared. But this time I was. What I do next could be a matter of life and death. But she chose for me. Everything turned black. When I woke up my dog was sitting in the lush grass and I was on the bench. I fell asleep! I looked around, and found that my eyesight was so much better! I looked around and found a book in my hands. I didn’t bring a book, but whatever. ‘She felt the life suck out of her body. And everything turned black’ the book read. I looked up from the book and saw a young brunette haired little girl by the border of the trees bending down patting her dog. “Come sit down there's enough room.” I said in raspy voice.

My Speech 2018

๐ŸŒจWe have speeches at our school, so I created a speech of something everyone dreams of.... ๐ŸŒจ

Have you ever had a dream where something really good is about to happen and then... Beep Beep Beep, Good morning let the stress begin. Hi I’m Sofia Royster and I’m going to tell you why school should start later. Something we all have in common is a rushed breakfast. But why be rushed isn’t breakfast the most important meal of the day? Instead of shoving weetabix down your throat take your time to create a healthy breakfast. Think about adding hard boiled eggs, toast with cheese and tomato, a smoothie, and yogurt with some granola and fresh fruit. Are you regretting your breakfast this morning yet? I know I am. But what if school didn’t start later and you had a really busy night cough cough fortnite cough and had to get into bed at about 10:00 pm then you woke up to that stupid BEEP BEEP BEEP at like 6:45 in the morning. The chances of you pressing the snooze button 10 trillion times is 99.99999% Out of 100. Well, if your like me. Children need sleep and going to bed at about 10 and waking up at 6 is only 7 hours of sleep. Kids from the ages of 5 to 13 need about 10 to 12 hours of sleep. That’s about the ages of Wainui Beach School students. Beaches, ah those totally picture perfect beaches. The beach is SO beautiful in mornings. Imagine waking up and going to the beach. That would set our teachers off for an awesome, calm school day. Walking on the beach doesn't only make you happy it does have benefits too. Did you know that people enjoy walking on the beach so much they walk more than they would walking on the street or a treadmill so they are exercising and enjoying it. That’s a perfect hack for me. When humans walk on the beach, the sound of waves and birds will likely let all struggles and worries erase from your brain and they can enjoy the rest of their day not holding all that hatred and stress inside of them. Then again none of this is possible because of the starting time of school, so I think Wainui Beach School could be the first school in New Zealand to start school at 10:30 and end at 3:00 so us students get 5 hours of great learning. Do you wish you could have that extra sleep in the mornings? I know in my experience, when I have that extra snooze in the morning it’s always “LET'S GO! COME ON GUYS WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!” So let’s be like cat’s spending two thirds of their lives sleeping; School SHOULD start later.



Hope you enjoyed it! Comment if you think school should start later๐Ÿค” I clearly do ๐Ÿคฃ Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ”–

Quality Blogging Comments

Have you ever posted a comment on anything? Facebook, Blogging, Instagram, Youtube ect?  And then you checked 4000 times but when you post it you see something wrong?? Well I know I definitely have! So here I am showing you one of my comments' on a boy's blog from Blaketown School. ๐Ÿ˜บ



I added a Greeting sentence. Explaining who I was. I added a positive sentence. Telling him what he did great. I added relating sentence. Explaining he's not alone and we all get a little un-focused at times. And I added a helpful sentence.  Telling him a 'Maybe Next Time' sentence.

I checked with my friend Amelia and she told me that it had no grammar mistakes or any sentences that didn't make sense. So I posted it on his blog. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™‰

That is a quality blog post!๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž

Leave some quality comments and feedback! ๐Ÿคฃ

The Sunshine State

When I was on holiday, I went to California. It really was magical, when I was surfing I heard.... 


๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒคSunshine State๐ŸŒค๐Ÿ„
       
“Woohoo” I thought to myself as I pushed the white, small, skinny fiberglass board with my hands. I just learnt how to duck dive and I loved going under the waves and hearing the whales from a distance, the salty water somehow always made it into my mouth, and when I returned to the surface of the clear water I could somehow smell the humid air. A set hasn’t formed - yet. Quickly I paddle to get out back before the waves start to create a set. Isn’t that sound beautiful or what? The sound of bubbles rising from the surface, it’s even more magical because the bubbles are made by a big turtle down in the blue. Although I was enjoying watching the fish and turtles play, I needed to get out back; a set is forming. Why are the waves so awesome, colossal, annoying all at the same time? Why is it that the waves decide now is a good time to form?? Ok, fine, paddle, paddle, paddle and…. BOOM!


⇨So hope you liked my holiday slow write! Give some feedback please!⇦

Also for the people who don't know what a slow write is its a list of ten things you have to do, and it goes something like this
Sentence 1:  Start with the word “woohoo!”
Sentence 2:  This sentence must use emotive words.
Sentence 3:  This sentence must focus on the sense of smell/taste/touch or hearing
Sentence 4:  Must be a 5 words long.

Sentence 8:  This sentence must have 3 adjectives in a list
Sentence 9: This sentence must start with a “Why is it…” phrase

                      exclamation mark.

Safe Passwords

Last week we had Koka Maria in again, and she told us about safe passwords. She gave us a slideshow to work on.  She said that stalkers, hackers and many other people guess passwords easily so make it hard to guess. She suggested say a sentence then take the first letter and use it
So here is an example

I like nature and animals but sometimes the inside is great too

Bullying

Learning Intention: I am sharing my thoughts about bullying at

Bullying Quotes (Dear Haters)


All of this week and last week we were learning about bullying. Today we were looking at bullying quotes. I chose the one up top. It really makes me say "OOOHHH YEAAAAHHHH!" And I definitely believe this quote❣


IMG_1404.JPG

Here is Rm 1's kindness wall. The hands are quotes about kindness and what YOU give to the class. My one says "Never Give Up On Your Horse Because Your Horse Would Never Give Up One You" I think this because I ride a horse called Cloudy she has never left my side and she would never ever give up on me or her other owner Hana. We both love her and would never stop riding her. On the dark orange we wrote about what we like about school most of us said our friends. I figured that people wrote about it because we all have friends and they lift our moods and make us laugh. On the post it notes there are what makes a good friends (yellow) and what makes a bad friends (orange).
