Favourite piece of writing 2015

Read Me

"As you read me you are going to be deceivingly hooked".

"Continually read me as I am a book".

"The best book of all yes that is me".

"I do not pay attention to low marks at all".

"I go on for years well there's a slight problem with that".

"But read me as I am the best".

"READ ME"!

"Or fall to your death!


This is my favourite piece of writing because it is very mischievous and you can interact with it.

Narrative writing

"Let me tell you about the story of an old man, but actually describe him".
"Anyway let's get on with it".
"So his skin is wrinkled quiet obvious, his grey hair says it all".
"So far we know he's old with grey hair and it looks like he's had a rough life, he actually looks sadder than a mouse without his cheese".
"The sparkle in his eye told me all about his life".
"It was horrid".

Term 2 holiday


School Holidays

During the school holidays I traveled down two my Nan and Poppa's farm which is just outside of Taupo. Every day we would he into town and do something like visit a friend. I went to town with my Poppa and went to town to visit his mates but he also showed me what he was working on. But my favourite was sneaking into the caravan and relaxing on the comfy bed. After that we headed into the country so we could get to the quarry and get some concrete mix. I had a fun time time but then it was time to go back to Taupo. Back there we were working on the flat.It was alot of work. But still fun. I still got most of the time to relax but then it was time to travel home. I hope I can go back there soon. That was a fun time/holiday. What a Time I had there.

Using google maps



In Room 15 we have been using google maps to help us find specific places.

Here is a picture of Vardon school.

On google maps we have found lots of interesting features all over the globe like the Eiffel tower and Big Ben.

Google maps are very helpful if you are looking for famous icons.

The Raven

The Raven

BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
            Only this and nothing more.”

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December;
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
    Eagerly I wished the morrow;—vainly I had sought to borrow
    From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
            Nameless here for evermore.

    And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
    So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating
    “’Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—
            This it is and nothing more.”

This is a poem of sadness and grace. 

A heart warming poem it is.

There will always be some sorrow in life.

But a sacrifice is a very great deed.

I have have chosen this poem to represent the world that not everything will not always go as proposed. 

There are some powerful words such as evermore and entreating.

Return from war

It had been a long and deadly battle but I'm finally home. My soul was happy. The waves were bashing the vessel as it was a storm. I ran to the front of the boat. I felt my jacket. It was smooth and dusty. Finally we reached the dock. I raced to the end to give my family a hug. I loved the boat ride but I'll always love my family more.
