Devontae - poem

I like the colour red

it's the colour of my bed

and my mum makes fried bread

and then i went  into my shed

I was playing and  game and my player dropped dead

I was out but I wanted to go home instead

And then I ate white bread

Title : Why do we need sleep??

Introduction : Hi my name is Devontae, today i will be explaining why everyone in this world needs sleep? In Case you're wondering why do we need sleep? Well that's why I am writing about why we need sleep. Enjoy !

Information : We need sleep so  we have a lot of energy . You may think it's going to school and playing that gives you the energy well. It's not it is the sleep you get at night, sleeping at night is the most important thing about life.  You should be getting about 8 hours of sleep or maybe more depending on what time you get up and what time you go to sleep. You must be thinking how sleep gives us energy, we wouldn’t know how sleep gives us energy but is it a matter of time for scientists to figure it out? Sleep is like the main key to life, it is a thing you should be able to do unlike other things, you should sleep so you can do alot of things like playing at school and trying out for teams.

Good morning everybody welcome back to my beautiful lovely look blog. On the 12th of october was our first day of school. In term 4 every first day of  the term at our school we always have an immersion assembly. Immersion assembly is when our whole school comes back together in the hall and each team explains what they are going to be working on this term. This theme for this term is Art Alive. 

Which means we are going to be doing art this whole term and to try and be creative and try to make it look alive. I am really excited to see what kind of art we are going to do. 

 

Team 1, Did a famous painting with our teachers faces, so all the teachers in Team 11 dressed up as famous artists from the past. And they showed us the teachers then they showed us the famous painters.

 

Team 2,  did different portraits of their teachers in their class but they used different methods, they used shapes,  first it was indian methods, then polynesian methods,  and england methods they did all sorts of different me

 

Team 3, Did paint guns tie dye on a cloth. After that they kept using all of the dye and painting the cloth then after that they used that cloth they used and put a painting over so the cloth they out the dye on was the background the picture they painted

 

Team 4, Team four forgot about our school immersion assembly and they had no movie but luckily Mr goodwin witch is the team leader for team 4 recorded the whole conversation with his teachers in his block they were on google meet discussing on what there going to do for the term and then they did a challenge their challenge was that they had to do a drawing challenge and miss tuia won by doing a maori design.

 

Team 5, Team 5 did a live stream act they were acting like statues and painted picture’s and status from the past in the past the teachers acted like they were different things like ms tele’a was a samoan warrior and miss tipene was someone they  created the tomato juice and  tyson was a statue that was wearing a vodafone warriors T-shirt and Miss Stone was a famous chilli pepper. Miss Moala was the lady that showed people around the art gallery

So last week on Wednesday 5th of august step up leadership started. The day step up camp started our teachers told us how to act when the year 8 are not here. They also told us what groups we were in so i was one of the year 8s that stayed back because i wasn't too sure on if i wanted to go camp but i made my mine up and i didn't really wanna go. 

So the camp group names were Duck life, that was the group i was in, there was also group thunder they also won the step up camp, and last but not least was team strikers. 

When we split into our groups we all had to contribute by thinking of a group name witch everyone  came up with and a chant. Then about and hour or two after our groups split up we had to present our chants and some of our quotes.

After morning tea we had our first rotation which was with Ms Tipene that was about quotes that will remind us on how to be a leader mine. mine quote said " Love everyone around you " and i out it in a heart shape.

Devontae working on my tahas

Devontae writing

Over the holidays   i went on a road trip down to tokoroa so met some family and to go there for a birthday party my little cousin's birthday party she turnt five years old the party was alright but i guess it was more of a little kid party.

While we were waiting for the party to finish we went somewhere to make the day more fun so we went  for a drive through rotoroa for about 30 minutes then came back  to pick up my other little cousin because she was still there when we went for a drive through rotoroa.

When we picked her up we went on our way to the pools to go for a swim. Which made the day more and more fun than when we finished getting out of the pools. We went to McDonald's to have a feed before we went and said our goodbyes to our families. When we finished saying all our goodbyes we were on our way back home.

When we were on our way back home we stopped at an ice cream shop because it was pretty hot on the day we came home. When we went for our stop we had some ice cream. I wasn't sure where but it was delicious better than the ones in Auckland not gonna lie i reckon it had more flavour.

When we arrived at home we couldn't wait to go and stretch our legs because we had sat in our truck  for about two to three hours straight. It was challenging but we got through it. When we got out of our truck it felt nice but then when we finished I got pins and needles.

Devontae narrative about friendly dragons

This is what a wrote on our recent writing test





Friendly Dragons

Once upon a time there were 2 teenage boys named Kelvin and Zane they were on their way to get and travel the world till something happened. Their plane got delayed so then they had to wait till early hours in the morning to go and start their adventure. It didn't turn out the way they planned it. But the next morning they woke up so early they couldn’t walk. . when they arrived on the plane they were excited because it was their first time ever going on a plane. When Zane got on the plane he felt nervous. The reason he felt that way was because he had never been far from his mum Zane is younger than Kelvin.


When the plane took off they both couldn't stop looking down because they thought it would break down but suddenly something happened. The plane apparently lost its balance in the air so then the plane was falling from the sky like a missle. When it hit the ground lucky it didn’t explode it was just damaged like i mean damaged so bad no one could fix it. So everyone went their own ways just to find a way out lucky the sun was coming out that would make it easier for them. They went so far away from the plane no one could see them.


When they were try to find there way back they heard something at first they thought it was something special that could help them but it wasn't how could they know the only way they could find out is if they followed whatever was making that sound they looked and looked to something else happened they heard more than one thing moving around what could it be?. As soon as they heard more than one it started to creep them out because they were wondering what it was, they looked and looked but then they were getting thirsty and hungry so they searched for other things to eat and drink. When they went back to finding the plane they finally found it but their supplies were not to be seen. They got worried.

Next they went on another adventure to go and look for things to eat and drink. Suddenly they heard a weird sound again this time they might as well leave it because they were too hungry to follow it. Then of course they found food to eat. It was the only thing on the island. The next thing they did was start searching again for that mysterious sound then they heard it again. Kelvin said “come on not again” then they ran after it they almost caught it but it ran as fast as it could. It was like the thing they were looking for wanted them to chase after it.

Then they finally found what was going on. It was a baby dragon wanting them to chase after them. They were wondering where its mum was then as soon as they said that they saw it charging at them, then they started to run as fast as they could. They thought it was trying to eat them or hurt them but it wasn't trying to hurt them or do anything. By the time she tried to be nice they were gone in a split second. Then they tried to look for the baby dragon again but then it was getting dark so they just couldn’t take it. They needed some rest so then they built them a shelter for the night. By the time it was morning they wanted to search for it to take photos.


Next they wanted to see if the dragons had any other friends then when they started to search again they forgot to pack them some warm things but it was too risky they didn't wanna lose the dragon another time. So then they were on their way looking for another couple or dragons they didn't know were friendly but it was worth a try. So they started to search more and more around places they didn't know about then wa la they found one it was drinking its water so then they tried to take a shot they got but they mom charged at them again and they were gone.


Next they decided to look for more then when they were looking they got a jackpot they found way more then they did before. They found a whole valley of them but then went up to one dragon and thought it would do something bad but it didn't. It just licked his face then after that they became very good friends and they could understand Kelvin and Zane very clearly. So then they asked them if they could get a ride on their backs to go and see where the other passengers were. They were all struggling so bad they thought we turnt crazy but yeah turns out dragons aint bad after all.

So they all rode the sun sit and lived happily ever after even though it was a hard 2 days for them they still came out alive.

One camp he was very sick but he still made it work it always makes things work that's why he always tries to make something work.

Devontae Narrative writing

Once upon a time there was four boys named jack,bob,mike,Jake. One day they decided to go on a stroll in the woods then suddenly there was something that caught their eye so they rode closer to see what it was. First they tried to to open it but then it was locked by the time they found the key it would be to dark so then they went home to have a rest then the next day they went back to the spot and started to search for the key. Next they thought they found the key but it was a stick shaped as a key they tried it but it didnt work because it was shaped differently compared to the normal input key. They were looking for ages they tried and tried they thought nothing would work but then they went to look in a different area. They had a look under rocks and inside trees and suddenly they found it next they went to look for the door they found it, it worked then they went to open it they wondered what was behind the door all it was, was all the instruments anyone could ever have or dreamed about they looked for their favorite instrument and they found them one each so they decided to make a band it worked successfully but then they got bored of it so then they thought they would sell it for some prophets and guess what it worked they thought it was gonna be a total failure but when they earnt there prophets they thought about other things.  Well  it turns out they had a good rest of there week finding a good amount of things to sell so they can sell it for prophet to buy them things they need i guess sometimes it can work.
