This is my Ariana Grande Pick a Path story. We had to make a pick a path story this week for writing, feel free to try it out. Which is your favourite ending?

Rocket Information report

 Did you know that a typical rocket produces more than a million pounds of thrust that allows it to carry more than 6,000 pounds? Topping speeds of 22,000 mph. The topic of this information report is rockets. I will cover 3 topics, Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11 and the parts of a rocket and how it works. 

Neil Alden Armstrong was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer. Neil Armstrong was also the first person to walk on the moon. He was also a naval aviator test pilot and university professor. Neil Armstrong died on August 25th 2012. After suffering a cardiac tear when placing a wire, routinely placed on the surface of his heart during cardiac bypass surgery, was removed and he suffered from bleeding.

Apollo 11 is a story well documented. But with so many people involved in the mission and the immense influence of the moon landing, a few facts have fallen into relative obscurity. Here are a few facts about the Apollo 11 rocket. Apollo 11 was the first flight to send people to the moon. It was done by NASA, the American space agency. It went up to space on 16 July 1969, (exactly 41 years before my brother was born!), carrying three astronauts. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

What are the parts of a rocket? A rocket is made of 4 main parts: the nose cone, fins, rocket body and the engine. A nose cone is the conically shaped forward most section of a rocket, guided missile or aircraft, designed to modulate on coming airflow behaviour and minimise aerodynamic drag. Fins are used on smaller rockets to provide stability and control direction. The purpose of the rocket body is to house the fuel. It is often in the form of a hollow cylinder because it reduces the amount of surface area that is in contact with the air. Finally, the engine of the rocket, A rocket engine uses stored rocket propellants as the reaction mass for forming a high speed propulsion jet of fluid, usually high tempered gas.

Hope you liked my information report and learned about rockets and how they work and some interesting facts about them. If you have any questions comment down below. 

My 15 minute writing challenge!

 I’m sitting here worrying about nothing, well that’s what my mum tells me. I’m walking around the waiting room at the dentist. I can feel a sweat drop dripping down my face. I am absolutely freaking out. Surely I’m not the only kid that hates the dentist. I’ve already been for a checkup, now I’m on the emergency list. I mean, I look after my teeth and all so whats wrong? After I get my teeth ripped out and drilled in, maybe I can get a milk shake. I guess that’s the only good thing about going to the dentist, when my parents feel sorry for me cause I’m in so much pain so they treat me with good food and movies. My brother literally never brushes his teeth and apparently he still has better teeth than me. I eat healthy (sort of) but you should see all the junk food he eats. I always cried at the dentist cause I am a massive sook. Last time I went to the dentist I had perfect teeth, but now I guess we turned on the wrong path. I have heard that root canals hurt like crazy so that just makes me even more nervous. I have been working myself up all day about this appoinment and I am going absolutely insane. I think that’s the reason that I haven’t been very focused. The door opens and my dentist comes out. “Nevaeh Lawton, I’m ready to see you now”. 

Sitting at the front of the gate

 The sun was bright and sparkly. I could hear the cars on the road, waiting at the front gate. People in their cars winding up the windows as they drive past us. I gaze at the glitchy sign trying to forget about the rocks underneath me. A police man in a mufty car pulls up on the opposite side of the riad. He gets out of the car and everyone waves and starts saying “hi!” i can here 2 vague dog barks from behind me. The smell of lynx gradually drifts under my nose. “2 more minutes” The teacher yells. Students from Otaki College run in through the gate. I think they wree doing a block run for P. All of a sudden we were heading back inside. I found an old fanta box on the foot path so I put it on my shoe. Zahrn found an old crusty dusty gumboot and he threw it at my face. “Ow” I said as I was hysterically laughing. We walked back to class and started writing our stories.

Royal Flush Card Game

 Royal Flush Card Game

Why were we outside for a writing assignment? We were all standing in a circle on the courts. I noticed that the  teacher was holding a deck of cards. I could here the cicadas all around me. The sun was hot and the clouds looked like big fluffy pillows. “Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs”. Mrs Tennant was sorting us into teams. We were playing a game! This was a bit of a treat. I was so excited to play a game for s writing task. I knew right after we started playing that we would have to write a recount, how boring! I was in a team with Zoe, Kate and Charlie. As she starts explaining the rules I get pumped to play the game. “Ready, set, GO!”

Athletics day recount

Athletics Day

I was waiting in line for the long jump at my schools athletics day. I could here everyone talking around me. I felt nervous, as though I didn’t know what I was doing. I could feel the hot sun on my neck. The person in front of me ran and jumped, they did very well. That made my stomach churn even more. The teachers finished raking the sand out and I ran. It was a short run but I still felt the breeze run through my hair. I passed over the jumping pad. It felt like sandpaper on my feet. And then I jumped, my feet hit the sand, it was soft and warm. The second I stepped on the grass I got an instant shock from my toes to my knees. I went to sit down on the grass. They asked if I wanted to jump again. I definitely said no because I did not want to do that again. It wasn’t the best feeling in the world but I guess it was worth the house point.

THE BEACH Narrative - By Nevaeh

 I was at the beach with my older brother Pickle, and we were going surfing. I had my yellow board and Pickle had a green one. As we were running towards the surf, we heard our mum yell back at us in warning saying “be careful”. Running with my board in my hand, I see Pickle jumping over all the waves coming in. We hop on our boards and start to paddle towards the big waves. Once we reach our point it is calm and still. The water a deep black/blue colour. I look at Pickle, he looks back, we smile. I see a big wave approaching and stand up. As i stand up I scrape my shoulder against the side of the board and see a bit of blood run down the back of my arm, ‘It’s fine’, I say to myself. Pickle looks at me again. Not worrying about it, I stand up right before the wave, and surf. The breeze running through my hair and the salty taste in my mouth, is exactly what I love. I come back in after that wave, blood still running down my arm. As we paddle out again, we see something moving in the water. Not worrying about it once again, we keep paddling. We reach the surfing point again, small waves producing in the meen time. 

Pickle is looking at me worried as…. A shark comes and bites my arm off. Pickle starts yelling for mum and dad while I lay there unconscious. Pickle carries me in and takes his rash top off to tie around my now gone arm. Blood oozing down my body and tears streaming out of my eyes. 

I don’t remember much about what happened after that but I remember waking up in the hospital bed. A pain like fire was racing through my body. I went to go grab my arm. It was gone. The doctor walks in, with a piece of paper in his hand. He is talking to my mum and looking satisfied with himself. He told my mum I was going to live!

After a few weeks of no arm, we have a meeting with the doctors. They had found the shark that bit my arm off. As well as biting off my arm, it also got a chunk of my board stitch in its sharp yellow jaws. The shark was on the beach, laying there lifeless. I looked at it, a lump forming in my throat. My dad brings my board up because I can no longer carry it. He places it in the mouth of the shark, as if he was putting the last piece of his puzzle in the spot. It was a match. I began crying, tears pouring onto my face. My mum grabbed me and hugged me.

Sci-Fi Setting description

🐠 ⋆ 🐬  🎀  𝒫𝓁𝒶𝓃𝓮𝓉𝒶 Ż𝓎𝒸𝒾𝒶  🎀  🐬 ⋆ 🐠

The ice was pouring on Planet Życia. As the salt was hastily melting the cold slippery substance. The four bleached like cerulean blue moons beamed more than enough to light up the worse for wear grey sky as it did its job perfectly. There were blue sunflowers swaying and dancing in the breeze along with the firey red and yellow trees. The nearly human-like zolian creatures brushed their feet through the dark black grass. Życia was such a unique place to live, because of the exclusive form of life> the pale green zolians with their potato sack-like garments and the amazing fruit and plant life.

Introduction to my information report

We are learning to write an information report. Above are some tips for writing an information report. Below is the introduction to my writing.

Topic: Healthy Streams

Introduction:

‘Homai te waiora ki ahau’. This Maori proverb means ‘give me the water of life’. Rivers are the lifeblood of our land. From our native forest, wild animals, farms and homes, it is important to look after our streams and rivers. New Zealand is known for our clean green image, but 80% of our rivers are not living up to our name.

Aubergine the Eggplant

There was once an eggplant. The talking kind of eggplant, from the planet Bob. Aubergine looked at his mini eggies sidekicks (eggplants) with his big googly eyes and said in his deep toned voice, “anybody up for some shenanigans?” No body would ever turn down any of Aubergines offers, because they were always the littest ever. And even if the didn’t want to do it, they had to because otherwise they would get strangled with Aubergines stick arms. But before the eggies could answer, there was an alert from the big purple and yellow glow in the dark ultra super dooper coolness mega ultra fast usain bolt running shoes (which was also their home) that had fallen from planet earth. Quickly Aubergine and his minions ran as fast as their little stick legs could go, only to find out that it was mating season for the eggplants on planet Bob. so Aubergine and the eggies went back to their shenanigans. About two hours later the alarm went off again. “UGH I KNOW IT’S MATING SEASON ALREADY!!!”

Recount

The horrifying thought of staining my clothes filled my head, as I stared at the gleaming yellow water. The thought of that going in my mouth made me shudder. Eventually, the teacher called me up. I shook my head hesitantly thinking, ‘why do we have to do this?’ but I had no choice. A cold feeling strutted down my spine, feeling nauseous. Again I was thinking of it entering my mouth. I saw the rest of the class looking at me. I was standing there in the middle of the quad looking like an idiot. What do I do now? Then without warning, the teacher said ‘go’, I slowly walked to the bucket, turned around and came back. Why was she making us do this for writing? I had no clue. I couldn’t stop the thoughts in my head repeating, umm coronavirus much? I could smell my warm minty breath filling the cup rapidly, with the plastic rubbing against my skin. Then all of a sudden, she yelled ‘STOP’. Thank god it was all over.
