Staying at home
Staying at home
One afternoon I stayed home with my sister.
First we had some pizza. It was pepperoni pizza with pineapple, and it was delicious.
My sister was in her room on her phone and I was in the lounge. I was playing fortnite with my friend Zack. We played a game mode where you have to survive from the zombies, and when you kill them you get five coins. When I lost, I walked out to hang some washing.
I had to hang two baskets.
I don't like to hang washing because I am short. But I did it because I use the little line. I was amazed because I didn't know it was that easy but I did it.
Then I went back to my game. My friend was still playing. He revived me and he gave me some gold so I could buy gold guns. They are stronger than the other guns. I was getting a little bored so I went into a public server where real people are. It was going wonderful until someone sniped us from out of nowhere. I was upset when we got sniped.
I was still bored so I watched some youtube. I watched montage. Montage is where people do trickshots and clip people. After that I walked over to the table to have a kai. I had some boil-up, leftovers from the other night. It was delicious. Finally it was time to go to bed.
My mum and dad were coming home the next day. I reckon I had an awesome time because I spent time with my big sister.

Matua Rays visit
WALT use capital letter for all names in recount writing.
Matua Ray`s visit
On Monday morning Matua Ray came to talk to our class about how to keep our fresh waterway healthy.
First we talked about the clarity of the water.
Matua Ray used a long pipe and there was a black magnet. He was checking how clean the water was.
You are supposed to look at the long pipe of water. You look in the pipe. There is a black magnet. You move the magnet down the pipe of water and see how far the magnet can go. You say stop when you can't see the magnet.
Next we talked about the temperature of water. He showed our class a thermometer. Simon put the thermometer in the water and checked the temperature and the temperature was 15.
Then we got a different thermometer to test if the temperature was the same.The other thermometer did nearly the same it was 15.5.
After that Matau Ray talked to us about pests in our fresh waterways.There are two fish, one of them is gambusia. Gambusia is a mosquito fish.
They pull out the other fishes eyes and sometimes they pull out there own eyes too.
The other pests are the koi carp. The koi carp messes up the bottom of the river and kills the other fish.
Finally we talked about our ph level. If the ph level is under 6 the water is to acidic and if the water is over 9.5 it has got too much alkaline. The best ph level is 7.
I felt very cheerful after we got all of that learning in our heads. There was so much to learn and I really enjoyed listening to Matua Ray and learning from him. I can’t wait for our trip on Wednesday to learn more about our fresh waterways and how to look after them.

Why is the water cycle important to the Earth
WALT use the correct structure and language for Explain writing
WALT use correct structure and language for Explain writing
The water cycle is a path that goes in and around the earth. The water in puddles and rivers and oceans evaporates first and then it turns into water vapor and then turns into clouds then it rains and turns back into liquid and does the runoff and it does it all over again and never stops. Sometimes the water turns into a solid and turns into snow and hail.
Why is the water cycle important to the earth?
The water cycle is important because it helps plants, animals and humans to live and it helps the earth too. As a result of the water cycle going around and around in a circle it makes sure we have fresh water to drink and that keeps everything alive.
So that is why the water cycle is important to the
earth.

I tried to do a different bom. I tried to do a Gorilla but I couldn't do it. It was hard. Later on my sister jumped off the top it was gigantic it was way bigger then my bom. Finally we went home.
