St Francis of Assisi

Saint Francis of Assisi was born into a very wealthy family. He always wore expensive clothing and was always around people that were rich. Saint Francis’s dream was to be a knight, and when he became one he fought for Assisi. When Assisi was at war with Perugia, Saint Francis was captured and imprisoned.  In his cell he realised that all the expensive things were useless. When he was free Saint Francis went to a crumbling old church. He heard God speaking to his heart. God wanted him to change his ways and to fix his church. That meant fix himself.

 

How The Human Ear Works

This Week for in science room 7 was learning about the human ear. we learnt that there were three different bones they were named anvil, stirrup and hammer. They transfer vibrations to your inner ear and there is something that looks like a snail shell and its called a cochlea it will convert the vibrations into electric impulses and it goes into your brain then it makes sound.

What is Foreshadowing?

Foreshadowing is when a book or movie gives you clues of what is going to happen next like new characters, islands or trouble.

my class room 7 started to learn about this anime called Dragon Ball there is heaps of characters that we leanrned about the main characters like Goku, Bulma, Oolong, Yumcha, pu’ar, Master Roshi and many more. All these people were enemies to Goku but he fought them then after he beat them, they all became friends. There are also more characters that have awesome powers, backstory and their looks I find most of these characters are awesome cool and serious but sometimes funny..

There are also people that don’t want to be friends with Goku and want to kill him like mercenary Tao Tien Shinhan and his friend Chiaotzu. They wanted to kill Goku because he beat up Tiens brother mercenary Tao at the tournament. Tien faught one of Gokus friend called Yumcha and Tien broke Yumchas leg beause when Yumcha was knocked out Tien jumped high in to the sky and then used his knee to brake Yumchas leg, then Goku got very angry then he swore that he would beat Tien in the finals but when it was the final fight with Goku and Tien it was very awsome because they fought for hours but in the end Tien used his super power to brake the platform.They were on but Goku dodged it and he was in the sky but then Goku used his power to knock out Tien so it was the first one to touch the ground lost but Tien and Goku was at the same height so Goku used his power again but it was just a little but it was enough to make him higher but then when they were super close to the ground a car crashed Goku then he fell first and lost.

There are also heaps of places that Goku had gone to like the ox kings palace, a ghost town, korin tower and fortuneteller babas island. These places were very dangerous but he wasn’t afraid of them because he beats all of the people that tries to get in his way.

We should Save Water

Today we had to make a ad about saving water because in 1977 there were 752,000 people living in NZ but in 2025 there are 1.71 million people who are living in NZ. The population has almost doubled and we should also save water because the dams are still the same as 1977 because if we have a water outage. Power and electricity would be cut because the water in the dams gives power and electricity.

 

The Rippa Tournament 2025

Yesterday there was a rippa tournament and I was going to wake up at 6 am sharp because I wanted to go real bad. I went to go take a shower but I forgot to get my clothes ready last night and it took 30 mins to get ready because my sister told me to do this and that. When I finally got my clothes I took a shower when I had finished getting ready my dad drove me to school. When I got to school the gate was still closed and I had forgot to have breakfast so I asked my dad if I could go the the bakery so I could get a chicken sandwich and he said yes. When I had finished eating I walked back to school and the gate was open when I went in I saw heaps of people. Then when the bell rang the people that were going to the rippa tournament had to line up under the canopy Paula said a prayer before we  walked to the tournament when we were walking I thought it was a very good walk because it was far away.

 

When we had Got there we speared  our mat on the grass and we put all our bags on top of it so it would not fly away. we only had four games but then Point England wanted to have a warm up with us so we said yes. When we played our first match it was not that bad the bad thing was no one was communicating except the boys. When the match had ended we lost by miles but the second game was better because everyone was communicating but we still lost. When it was the third game I started to tell people to do some cuts and also pass then we won third game we won by miles. Then on the second to last game we won by one point and at our last game I spoke to my whole team to lock in and we had to win because we lost two and won two. At the end we won by one two points. Then every school gathered in to take a massive photo and before we even went to the tournament I made a deal with my teacher Mr Bell the deal was when I score 6 tries  you owe me a mince and cheese pie now he owes me 5 mince and cheese pies.

Goku’s Conscious

Goku should go with Bulma because Goku would have entertaining moments. He would have have heaps of adventures and also he can get stronger while helping  Bulma with her quest to find all seven dragon balls. Also Bulma would provide food and water for Goku and Goku would get to see a dragon. In this adventure Goku could find out new skills and maybe find  out stuff about his family and also he earned some awesome things like kinto’un. Maybe he would gain many more.

Goku would also not be lonely because he would be making friends like Oolong and Bulma, Bulma also is very smart so Goku could use her later on for like puzzles or riddles. Also if Goku did not go with Bulma he would not know that much of the world. Goku would also had been lonely if he had not join her because when Goku was not lonely before. He had his  grandpa Gohan but one morning Goku woke up and saw  his house squashed and his grandpa was in the house and he died.

I had to make a poster about hoi poi capsules so I could convince people to buy them. The hard parts were doing the writing because I had to find heaps of information the easy parts were inserting the images and making a background.

 

My Trip To Watch Tinaa

Last Week room 8 and room 7 went on a trip to watch a movie called Tinaa. There were also other schools like One Tree Hill and many other different schools. I had been woken up at 5 am because my mum was vacuuming her room since I was already awake I got ready. So I got up and showered because my mum forces me to everyday.

When I finished getting ready my dad dropped me off to school. When I got to school the gates were still closed, but then I saw Mrs George coming to unlock the gate. When she had unlocked the gate I went in. Then after a while I saw Ezekiel so I ran to him because I was alone the whole time. Then everyone started to come because they wanted to watch the movie so bad.

When everyone came the bus had already parked at the back of the school. When everyone came we went inside  the bus. It was very loud in the bus because everyone was excited. I saw heaps of building my favourite one was this temple looking one. My other favourite one was a building that looked like a Ps5.

When we had Got to the place we were actually early. So we went inside then we sat on the ground. Later on other schools came. The first school that came was One Tree Hill and many other schools came after.

When all the schools came we went inside to watch the movie. When the movie was on Tina was in a classroom playing Samoan songs. Then her daughter called so Tina answered the call. Her daughter was nervous because she was doing a performance so she was very afraid. Then her mum told her to breathe Then they started to practice.

After they had finished Tina told her to be brave and then ended the call. Right after there was an earthquake and the building that the daughter was in collapsed. I looked at the side of my eye then I saw John crying then when I looked to the back of me I saw heaps of girls crying.

At the end of the movie all the girls were crying because somthing bad had happend. When I got to school it was still lunch so I ate. After I

The grave yard was silent that night the only sound were crickets and the wind singing. The statue was staring at me while I was walking threw the graveyard trying to look for my younger sister. Soft fog enfolded  the statue. Then the statue flew up to the sky I could barely see what it was doing but it kept on starring at me I had a funny feeling I would not find my sister. I was at the grave yard because we were playing hide and seek. Then my sister went in the grave yard by the time I finished counting I heard her scream so I ran into the grave yard I saw the statue fly at a very fast speed heading towards me I could not think so I started running but then the statue caught me the statue said your sister is already gone I started crying then I ran for my life only I came out alive.
