Fungus or Fungi


At school I have been learning about Fungus or fungi . I've learnt how they grow and what they do. It's interesting because I get to learn how they start off and that is spores. I've learnt new words like Spores Fungus or fungi (which I have heard off before) bacteria and all those words about fungus. It was challenging because I have use my knowledge about fungus.

BEDMAS!


At school me and the children in my class have been learning about BEDMAS. What it stands for and how to explain why. I had to learn about BEDMAS because BEDMAS is very important in algebra. I thought it was intriguing, until my teacher gave a sheet to fill but I did my best and thought learning about BEDMAS or algebra was kinda fun.

My Musical Holiday of Joy and Peace


My Musical Holiday

I don’t know where to start. There was my Dad’s birthday and my Granddad's birthday. I watched movies and played my guitar. Walked to Wycola Park with my sister. Ate. Slept. The usual's. Let's start with my musical days in the holidays.It all started on Saturday when it was a thermal day and the sun was golden and shining.

I was at home in the living room (or what you could also call the ‘lounge’) playing my guitar. I played different songs on the guitar, e.g Walk the line by Johnny Cash, Tequila Sunrise by the Eagles,  Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash, Down in the Meadow by Marilyn Monroe, All Things Must Pass by George Harrison, Maggie Mae by The Quarry-men or a folk song and I saw her Standing There by the Beatles.



My Dad was there sitting on the red lazy boy couch which was red like scarlet watching TV. He was watching Coronation Street with his dark turquoise or ivy eyes glued to the screen like he wasn’t paying any intention to me. Like I was invisible or not even there. Moreover, I sat on the couch and played gently with my sore fingers even though they were aching while I was changing chords. I sang as well and finally my Dad caught my attention. He gave me a warm and comfortable smile. My Dad stood up to get something out of the cold fridge. My Dad’s tall. He’s 1.86 meters tall. He can reach things with his long massive arms. My Dad wears glasses now. They are black like sly cats that scurry in the night.
He came back to sit on the lazy boy couch which was red like sunset with a spoon in one hand and yogurt in the other. I played again and again not to mention my fingers were numb and feeling hard. So I stopped. My sister Sara was playing badminton. My Mum was out in the scorching sun gardening and talking to her friend on her phone. That’s what my mother loves doing. Going out with a soft mask on, digging out old forlorn flowers that were from last year or months before. I decided to listen to music next with my sky blue headphones on.

Music has been part of my life. I love music very much and want it in my future. Music makes me smile. It makes me feel satisfied. I love music because it calms my stress and it makes me relax. I also enjoy listening to Little Richard. His songs makes me want to dance like ‘Good Golly Miss Molly’ or ‘Rip it up’ or ‘Long Tall Sally’. Even songs by Duane Eddy e.g moovin' and groovin' and Raunchy. I love music because it tells you a story but put into a song. Like ‘Sidewalks Of New York’ even though the song is an old classic, I still enjoy it and it makes me feel comfortable like I’m in my comfortable Zone.

At school my class and I had to write about our holiday. We had to use the correct structure for our recount. I wrote about my musical days in the holidays. I love doing this because my strength is writing and I would love to share it to all of you.

Tongan Languages


At school my class and I have been learning how to pronounce and say the Tongan Languages. It was challenging because I was learning a different language. It was a good experience for me to learn a different language because I can learn about different cultures and how they say their language. I would like to do this again someday because it was a new experience for me to learn a different language and someday I could learn other languages like Italian or German.

In Order



At school my class and I had to do this activity about how we do things in order in life. I find it challenging because I had to remember some things that I did in life. I learnt that everything I do in life had to be in order. Like for an example wake up, get changed, get a cereal, put it in the bowl and so on. I know the words are blurry and you can't quite see, but that's all I could do. 

The People who had risked their lives for us.


At school I had to do a thinglink about the people who risked their own lives for us. It was challenging because I had to come up with descriptive words for the thinglink. It was interesting and I enjoyed learning about what had happened in those ghastly times.

Why are Horses so important in war?



Foremost Horses in war. Why were they Important?


By EDEN DWYER


Everyone knows that men had to fight in the wars and they had to take their part. But not only men took their part in war. There were horses too, around 6 million horses went to war.The horses in war were very foremost to the soldiers because they can go through what carts or drivers in wagons can’t. Like big floods and heavy mud. The horses were told to go to war to work by carrying things on their tired backs. They were like slaves. They had to cross dangerous
rivers. Horses were brave in those vile days of working. The horses were used for communication or to put supplies on and so on. I’m telling you again that the horses were very important because they were playing a hard role for a horse in the war. They carry more weight than the soldiers who travel to war.


Most of their transportation were roads and railways. They had to cope with the ghastly conditions. In the hard rocky roads, railheads and rare trenches. Though the horses weren’t suppose to be in the trenches.


Soldiers depended on their horses to carry their weapons and anything they need.
But if the horse is sick and falls down and can’t do anymore,the soldiers sadly had to kill them or leave them slowly dying over the night with no help. But sadly,only 62,000 horses came back. There were animals like
dogs for a mascot, pigeons to send messages, camels, elephants even.

At School I have to make a Newspaper Report about why Horses are so important in war. I love doing this because their were interesting facts and its in History. Maybe I should work on writing more information about horses. About what they did after the abhorrent war. I thought the horses were very brave and had a lot of courage. It must have been hard work. Working for the soldiers. I couldn't get my real newspaper on the blog because my newspaper that had the info was a bit small. So I created this instead. Because the computer won't do as it was told properly, at least the info is there. I hope you have found this interesting because I tried to get this on the blog.
