Reading Interview

Goldilocks and the three beras

Once upon a time there lived a bear family. In their family there was a large papa bear, a middle sized mother bear and last but not least a little baby bear. Large papa bear is polite to his neighbours and mother bear teaches her neighbours how to make new recapiecies and baby bear is just a bully at school. He is a naughty naughty bear. When it was the afternoon mother bear was making a delicious pudding for her and baby bear and papa bear. It was too hot so they decided to let it cool down and see the beavers family's new baby. When they had lifted a little girl called goldilocks was picking flowers outside of the bears family’s cottage. She said in her head, “what an ugly cottage the bear family has”. She peeked inside and saw the pudding on the kitchen table. The pudding had cooled down so goldilocks tasted everyone of the bear family’s pudding. She tasted  papa bears but it was too large for her so she moved on to mother bears but it was also a little big so she tried baby bears and it was just right.

She also tried their chairs but it was like the pudding but she had broken baby bear's chair.

After that she had followed asleep on baby bear bed. When the bear family had arrived at their cottage they saw the mess that goldilocks had made. They went up stairs and saw her sleeping but when she woke up she had run off but baby bear said, “It’s alright I forgive you for the mess you made”. So  goldilocks and the bear family lived happily ever after. The End.

The moral of the story was to forgive people who does the wrong things and to not break into there stuff.

The boy who cried wolf

Once upon a time there once live a shepherd that didn`t like his job. All day he will sit down on a chair looking out to his father's sheep and feeling the fresh air blowing into his face. This sheperd would be play with his friends, running and making boyish mischief. While they were working he said to his father“ Can`t the sheep look after themselves, after all they know how to bleat and munch up grass.

But his father said it was very important work to do. But most importantly he has to keep his eyes peeled for the wolf, in case he came sneaking into the fields and grabbed one of the spring lambs. So all day and night the shepherd will look out into the fields for the wolf. So that means he doesn't have any of his sleep.  

So then the next day the shepherd wanted to trick all the villagers. So he got up at 2pm at night  and ran as fast as he could into the village shouting out at the top of his voice “ Wolf ! Wolf WOOOOOOOOOOLF ! So  all the villages woke up and grabbed sticks, rolling pins and pitchforks and came running into the fields. “ Where is it.” said one of the villages. So the shepherd said “ I was just joking.” So all the villages went home.   

So then the next day the shepherd woke up at 2pm and cried out “ Wolf Wolf WOOOOOOOOOOOLF. So all of the villagers can out with some rolling pins and pitchforks. “ Where is, Where is the wolf, Don`t lie” said the villagers. Then the shepherd said “ I was joking again.”

So then the next day the shepherd said to all the villagers “ Wolf, Wolf, WOOOOOOOOOOLF.” But then no villagers came. But when the shepherd looking  into the fields.The sheep dog was barking and the sheep where going crazy. There was really the wolf. So he yelled out “ HELP, HELP, HELP” The sheep are going to get eaten from the wolf. But still no one came.

The Moral of the story is: Never lies once or twice.

The hare and the Tortoise

The Hare and the Tortoise

Paragraph 1: Retell and summarise an Aesop Fable of your choice

The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. “I have never yet been beaten” he said. I challenge anyone here to race with me.  The Tortoise said quietly, “I accept your challenge.” “That is a good joke,” said the Hare; “I could dance round you all the way. “ Keep your boasting till you've won,” answered the Tortoise. “Shall we race?"”  Of course” said the hair. So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise. The hare laid down to have a nap. The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare woke up from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the finish line. So the hare ran as fast as he could. But then the tortoise did not  make it  . Then the Tortoise said “Slow but steady progress wins the race”

Paragraph 2: Explain the morale of the fable.

The moral of the story is: If you are faster than someone. It doesn't mean you take a rest by a tree.

Paragraph 3: How does the morale apply to your life? What have you learnt?

Sometimes people will think there faster than you. Sometimes you can beat them in a race.

Once upon a time on a hillside, there once lived a wolf that was fat and was always hungry for meat. He lived in a  forest on the hillside. Every morning and night he would try his hardest to get a sheep. But all his plans failed.   

One day he found a sheepskin behind a tree. So he put the sheepskin on and thought of a plan. He said to himself “ What about putting on the sheepskin to disguise myself”. So he disguised himself and went into the pen.     

The wolf said to himself “ I bet nobody will know I am here”. When the wolf was in the pen he was so thrilled to be having sheep for supper. The One day he found a sheepskin behind a tree. So he put the sheepskin on and thought of a plan. He said to himself “ What about putting on the sheepskin to disguise myself”. He was go thirlled stomach went rumble, rumble.

When the sun started to go down the shepherd wanted to have sheep for his supper too.  So he went to his pen and got the fattest sheep of them all. He chosed the wolf. He took him by his hook and took him home for his wife to roast. But when he laid the sheep on the  table the shepherd noticed it was a wolf. The shepherd was terrified but still happy because none of his sheep would get eaten.

My Writing Goals for term 3

 

Here are my writing goals for Term 3.

Kelly Tartolns

On July the 1st team 5 went to Kelly tarltons for our first trip this year. We learn all about Antarctica.

Walking in to Kelly Tarltons we stop right next to the counter and got in to our teams with the Parents.  My Parent was Gloria`s uncle.

When we entered the first part of Kelly Tarltons  we could see a lot of things that you could have in Antarctica. Like our food where we sleep and what to wear in that freezing place.

When I was walking I could see this weird thing it look like a Penguin skeleton. So I just look at it and it really did look like a Penguin. So I said “ Gloria look a Penguin Skeleton and she said” That does look like a penguin”

So we carried on to the next thing which I think was the best the Turning Tunnel. When I was standing there I felt like the whole place was turning around. But it wasn't it. It was the tunnel.

So I said “ Ohh my gosh I am getting out of here and see the Penguins. When I saw the Penguins I felt so EXCITED. This was my first time in the world to see a Penguin.

I saw two kinds of Penguins which was the Gentoo Penguin and the King penguin.

I thought the King Penguin was a Adelie Penguin. But really is isn't it. So I went on a I saw one of the Penguin doing a dance so I quickly ran over to and took a video.

Once I took the video it stop and then ran over to my netbook and look at it and started following the netbook. So I went up and down, side to side and it stilled followed it.

Omaru Creek Testing V2

Testing Omaru Creek

I am going to find out the differences in colour, smell and turbidity of oamaru creek.

I am going to test this by comparing different water samples from different locations along the creek.

Resources and equipment:

Buckets, Jar and Paper.

Smell:

	Prediction	Observation
Seawater	It smells like Salt	It smelt like Salt
Tap water	It smells like nothing	It smells like nothing
Omaru Creek water by culvert	It smells like Old rubbish	But is really smells like Dead fish
Omaru Creek water by bridge	It smells really Disgusting	nice (but when you shake it and smell it as soon as it opens bad)
Side of the lake	It kinda smells fresh	But it smells like fish

My conclusion (what I found out): I found out that most of my predictions were very  close to my predictions.

Colour:

	Prediction	Observation
Sea water	It loke clearish	It really looks clear
Tap water	It looks clear	It looks clear
Omaru Creek water by culvert	oily leafy heaps rubbish	oily leafy heaps rubbish
Omaru Creek water by bridge	It looks cleanish	But is was kind of dirty
Side of the lake	Murky grey	Couldy

My conclusion (what I found out): That my predictions were not too far from the observation.

Turbidity:

	Prediction	Observation
Seawater	I thought it would be see through (kind of)	It was Totally see through
Tap water	I thought it would be see through	It was see through
Omaru Creek water by culvert	I thought it would not clear at all	It was not clear at all
Omaru Creek water by bridge	I thought it would be see through kind of	It was not clear
Side of the lake	I thought it would be clear	It was cloudy

My conclusion (what I found out): I found out that the water always  moves along the stream so the oil can get to the bridge.
