Nora Swann

Nora Swann

 

On the 26 of June a designer came to our school and introduced herself as Nora Swann. During morning tea, my friends and I saw our teacher rushing into the classroom so we went to check out what was happening. When we got there he told us to start cleaning up the room and make lots of room because the whole school is coming in here.

 

After cleaning up the room Nora Swann came into our classroom and Rm 8 was coming inside the room, after Rm 8 came into the room the other classes started to come inside the our room, after all of the class coming in to our room, Nora Swann started to explain her life and was showing us a slide deck.

 

Nora Swann is Samoan and Niue, and she owns her own business career, and New York wrote a book about her, she said when she was young she use to be so shy and she very much disliked boys, but each time her passion was growing she was getting confident and she had a husband and two children, she visits school and tells her life to them.

 

Nora Swann also got a badge from the prime minister Chris Hipkins, it’s because she carried on with her passion during COVID 19.  Nora Swann also won a trophy for fashion this year, but Nora Swann said to us if she reads a book she leaves everything behind and get stuck into the book,She also said that if we read lots of books we will achieve our dream.

 

She showed us a quote of what Ariana Grande said and she also said we should never give up on our dreams, she is going to Samoa today for some fashion business and their are different cultures just like her and she’s the representative of NZ. Nora Swann even went to japan to teach people English but she didn’t really like teaching so she came back to NZ.

 

She even posts pictures of her styling, and people comments bad things of her posts, but she  putted up with all of those comments but she didn’t care about it, as long as she’s happy with her style, she always didn’t give up on her dream and I hope she doesn’t get pulled down from all those bad comments. 

 

I am really inspired by her words. I wish I can grow up being just like her, and I hope I can spread out the words she said to us and may she live the best life.

 

What’s in my basement 😱

At 3:00 I heard a noise in my basement, it was a very awful noise it sounded like an baby crying and cats fighting, but the worse’s sound of them all is the banging, it is like a human banging so hard on the wall to let her or him out, at 3:59 the noise finally stopped but I know whatever that is it won’t stop.

 

The noises only happen at 3:00 and ends at 3:59, it is so horrible to hear it it almost makes me feel like to abandon the house, but I can’t it hurts me to leave a gift from my parents, my parents told me never to leave the house when it reaches 12:00, because my sister went outside and she never returned home.

 

It was like someone kidnapped her and treated her like a slave, by the way my house is in a forest which that makes it even badder for me to get connection to call my parents, I always wondered what kind of animal that looks like a human  and crawls like  a baby, it is also white so it makes it easier for me to see it at night.

 

I never want to call my parents and say that the house they bought for me is not good enough for me, it’s because they might cry so bad like how they cried for my sister, so I will always try my best to be good enough for them and score for the best, but one person like me can never be that successful.

 

 During the next day I went to the supermarket, and I made sure I locked every door and windows of my house, especially my basement, then I went to the supermarket and bought a flash light, house locks, plants that were on sale, and I also bought binoculars and cameras that last until 24 hours.

 

When I got home my front door was open,  I thought to myself I did lock all the doors the windows and the creepy basement, but how did the front door open, then I saw whatever that weird creature I was talking about trying to run to me and attack me, so I quickly went into the house and locked my front door.

 

After that I started setting up all the cameras and house locks, after that I ordered a american pit bull online that can sit or sleep by my bed and bark when they sense something, that night I said a prayer and went to sleep with everything ready and I also set traps everywhere around the house also inside the house.

 

And then it finally happened the noises that happened at 3:00, a moment later I checked my camera and saw that weird creature inside the basement with my sister, but luckily I set a trap inside the basement so the weird creature easily got captured and my sister was there crying.

 

I finally knew what that crying noise was my sister, the only reason why it sounded like a baby’s cry was because of the echo that changed the cry of my sister voice, I quickly rushed to my phone and called a priest and my parents to come quickly, after that I went to my basement, I open it up and bring my sister to my bedroom, and she was still human.

 

I thought that she would barely remember me but she did, so I took her to the shower and gave soap, shampoo, and conditioner and she started to shower, and I gave my best summer dress to her to make her feel better just like when I wear it.

 

Just when she finished showering and changing the priest and my parents finally arrived, my parents were worried and the priest started to prepare a ritual, and my parents helped me drag the weird creature where the ritual was happening.

 

The weird creature finally disappeared and my parents were crying and were happy to see my long and lost sister, I was also happy to see my family all together and I was also happy to see that weird creature gone, so I thanked the priest for making that weird creature gone, and my family and I lived               

happily ever after. 💙

 

Prototec

I am Grace and I am on stage 6, but I wanted to see how hard  stage 7 is in prototec. I challenged myself to do stage 7 and it turned out a little bit hard, all though it was my first attempt I still wanted to keep stepping up a bit so I can master all stages. I only got 82% but next time I will try even harder, I hope I can achieve more next time.

And here is a photo.

My Jesus Strand

On week two during term 2 my class and I started Jesus Strand for RE.  There are  80 slides in total, and each  slide teaches us new things, it is all about Jesus’s life and how he told the good news, he also tells people that God is not a bad man  but God is a loving father to us, if we turn back to God and ask for forgiveness and he will forgive us, I also learned about faith, hope and love, I really had fun learning about Jesus Strand I hope I can do  it again.

 

Fair chocolate

 

During term 1 my reading group and I have been learning what chocolate is made out of.   This is what I learned about chocolate, chocolate is made out of cacao beans and  and cacao beans grow on trees, lots of farmers them and they sell it to the chocolate factory but some can keep it and make their own cacao beans are mostly found in Africa,  before you they take of the cacao beans you have to wait until their are quite burned, and that is all I know but in each of our reading groups we had to make a poster about it

here is a  photo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What ANZAC day means to me

                                                                            What ANZAC day means to me

 

When it is ANZAC day I feel happy because  it feels like a day off and it means I can eat biscuits all day, and I go shopping on those days, also on ANZAC day I like to sleep and sometimes my sisters and I will always spend some time together and my brothers will do the same thing too.

 

While were of we will normally buy ANZAC biscuits and we will  also go to the beach or we will also have BBQ, we love it when we have family time together because it will always be fun, ANZAC day is one of my days in my life,  sometimes it can be sad for other families, but  I am looking forward to ANZAC day.

                        ANZAC day is great and can be sad at the same time because the soldiers died for  our whenua and

 

          also died in the field of poppies so RIP.
