Alien Letter

Dear Saturn Alien,

Hello, How are you?

My name is Daimai and I am from Earth. I have been learning more about the solar system until  got interested into your planet more though.

How does it feel with a big ring around your planet? Your planet is really big how do you travel around ? Do you fly around in a U.F.O? We humans drive around in cars and fly in airplanes.

Just a question, how much of the sun do you get on your Planet? Earth is a really cool planet we have beautiful land and people can climb our tall cold mountains. Have you ever visited Earth before? If you know how long does it take to get to Earth from Saturn? What type of aliens are there.

How did you know where we are in Earth because we have something called internet it is where we can connect online with other people to chat and post videos and pictures about what we are doing. Do you and your people use tracking devices or something.

With a planet pretty far away from the Sun how do you survive and what type of beds do you use, do you even sleep? nyways thank you for your time and listening to me.

Please get back to me.

Daimai :)  

I wish you good luck on your journey.

Airplane                             

   

This is an Airplane we use this for transport we fly in it like yous fly in your U.F.O but an Airplane is much slower.

The first Man on the Moon Recount of Me

Flying through the air away from my home going outer space for the first time and most important going to the Moon. Going to the Moon for the first time was exciting but also sad because being away from my family wrong because I can’t survive without my mum and dad they’re the best thing that ever happened to me. Almost at the moon feeling nervous, thinking am I going to float away or die who knows we have to live life as it is, when i landed on the Moon the first footstep I took I felt like a champion a conqueror of the world I thought to myself OMG! I was so happy being the first person on the moon ever! While walking on the Moon looking the rocks the holes wondering how did this get here. I went back to my rocket ship and grabbed my flag to put on the Moon but while I was putting the flag in I saw an U.F.O (Unidentified Flying Object-An alien's spaceship) flying around in the air I was really frightened thinking it was going to take me away I also heard a yap and scream I felt like I needed to go home already from getting too scared. Getting back in the spaceship I saw a rock shaking like a human shivering then it cracked and a spider was floating in the air I felt really gross so I knew I had to go off I went excitedly and proud going home finally I landed at the airport in one piece luckily I was congratulated and Known as the first person on the Moon.

Why Games Are Important

Why games are important:

There are many types of games. We can learn lots of things from all of them.

Games are different. We can play online, physical games, thinking games, competitive games and games just for fun. There are many types of games. We can learn lots of things from all of them.

Games are different. We can play online, physical games, thinking games, competitive games and games just for fun. You can learn how to become a good rugby player by playing rugby games and analyse how other players run, how they step and tackle to improve in your rugby. Other people will be able to trust you if you're able to handle the pain because you might be playing an over aged game but the more you play over aged games, you can learn to persevere, never give up and tackle bigger people by ourselves. So it’s pretty good if you play games against people who are bigger or older than you. .(Like rugby)If there were no games at school when people are doing there work it would be a bit good because with no games people would have nothing to concentrate on work. People would be really bored without games because there is nothing to do but watch T.v and talk with your friends. Everyone that plays games now will be extra bored because they have nothing to do. Without games you would just be reading books or doing homework, which is no fun at all.  If games weren't invented( Ps3, Xbox and sports) I will probably just learn how to live life without games and programs on T.v and sit in bed talk with my brothers or play on the piano. Games are important because everyone needs to have fun in their life, not just sit around doing nothing watching movies or making food and not learning new skills and new things in life.

That’s why I will feel games are important.

WALT:Use the S.E.E structure to edit our work.

Today I was doing a writing of Why Games Are Important while using the S.E.E structure to edit my work also I was using the Tamaki Primary School Rubric.

How The Hippo Got Fat

How The Hippo Got Fat

Long ago hippo’s were skinny, there was a hippo living in a river with his family. There were six hippo’s living with him and they were all skinny. The river that they were living in was really dirty there were always flies flying around bugging them, the Hippo’s wished everyday that they would have a lot of food for them to live.

But at the river there was no food just dirty water, buggy flies and a bunch of hippo’s so the hippo starved they had to do something…

The eldest hippo got tired so he went out hunting for food. So the he went, for day’s he did’nt return home. The hippo’s waited. Months went by, and finally he returned big and fat and the other were angry that he look like that and they said “why are you so fat and we are skinny” and he replied “I had a big feast on my hunt anyways the food is over there” pointing behind a tree, one of the Hippo’s asked him “how did you even get us this much food” “don’t worry’ said the Hippo and they all enjoyed eating the food.

And that’s how the hippo got fat.
