Story Openers

Here are some story openers that you can use in your narratives:

Loud thumping noises late at night thundering against the floor.

A chilling scream from the garden at dusk scaring me when it was dead silent.

The jingling of keys ringing towards my ears and making my heart pounding hard and worrying about me and my family in the house.

Noises rustling on the roof like a cat scratching the door.

Footsteps thundering against the ground like frankenstein walking to his lab.

Dogs barking like they see ghosts.

“Do you hear that noise” I ask my brother,“Those whistling noises are like ghosts,Do you think our house is haunted?”

I hear this voice while I was asleep,my eyes wide open as big as a watermelon,my heart pounding like it is going to explode and my body shivering like an earthquake.

The frightning Volcanic Room

Image by Author

The highlight of our visit to the Auckland War Memorial Museum was the volcano room. In the volcano room we had an amazing day. There was a model of a house in Puia St. As I entered the room I saw a living room and a sliding window where you can see Rangitoto and the ocean. All of a sudden the T.V came on automatic and the news was on talking about smoke coming out of the water. The smoke gets larger and closer, the larger it gets the faster the volcano is going to form. All of a sudden a thud struck out of no where.  It gave me a fright and the T.V turned off automatically. White smoke transforming into black smoke and the room was shaking so hard that it felt like a giant had grabbed me and shook me so hard. KABOOM! The volcano shoots out black smoke and a GIGANTIC amount of smoke rushing towards us like a tsunami. CRASH! Everything quietens down and on the T.V we heard 'The Aftermath'. It was horrible, blobs of lava popping out like a popcorn on the hot burning active volcano sitting right in the middle of the sea. Huge smoke flying in the air as high as the Sky Tower. Burning trees, plants and houses poisoning animals and people. Burning tyres ruling the skies by covering it with black smoke destroying our atmosphere and creating a new world of darkness.
Back to reality, a man in a suit talked about the volcano and told us to go on a website which has a guide to survive before a volcano erupts. It was very frighting and a bit exciting.

The Auckland War Memorial Museum

The Auckland Museum is a HUGE place filled with historical artifacts of New Zealand.The Maori artifacts and the War Memorial are important New Zealand artifacts.
The Museum looks like the White House but a little browner. It gives it an impressive look.
The Auckland Museum is located in the Auckland Domain,facing the Auckland Harbour Bridge. It was built in 1929. It been there for 110 years. It’s hard work to build the museum. There are three different levels and 30 different displays and galleries.
The Auckland Museum is a major place where you can learn about different cultures. Thousands of schools visit there to learn about cultures and major disasters. It is a perfect place for people to learn about the traditions and customs of the pacific cultures.
All visitors should visit the volcanic room on the first floor. You can sit in a model house and you will experience what it is like during an eruption. On display are volcanic rocks that were used by Maori to warn of eruptions.
The war memorial is on the second floor. In the armoury has lots of weapons, armour and medals from the museum’s collections. Also see the names of New Zealanders from the Auckland Province who died in wars that New Zealand has fought in.
If you live in Auckland and haven’t been you should visit the War Memorial Museum. It is a place where you can learn about New Zealand and Pacific history. Especially, New Zealand’s part in World Wars.

How the Kiwi lost it's wings

Many years ago,Tanemahuta  was walking in the forest. Suddenly he saw his kids. They were sick because bugs were eating them.Tanemahuta told his brother Tanehokahoka. Tanehokahoka called a meeting with Tui,Pukeko,Pipiwharauroa and Kiwi.”Tanehokahoka said that he needed  someone to go down to the forest floor  to look after Tanemahuta’s children.”

Everyone was quiet. Tanehokahoka looked at Tui. Tui spoke in a scared voice,“It’s too dark down there,I’m scared of the dark.”

Tanehokahoka looked at Pukeko,Pukeko said “Tanehokahoka it’s too wet down there,I hate being wet.”

Tanehokahoka took a big breath, and Pipiwharauroa spoke in a worried voice,“I’m busy building my nest for my family.”

Tanehokahoka looked at Kiwi and Kiwi smiled at him.“Kiwi will you look after Tanemahuta’s children?”Kiwi replied,“Yes,I will” Tanehokahoka was happy with Kiwi because he agreed to look after Tanemahuta’s children.

Tanehokahoka and Tanemahuta were happy with Kiwi because he took the risk to look after Tanemahuta’s children and,for his courage.

They warned him that he was going to lose his beautiful wings,and stay on the forest floor forever.Tanehokahoka punished all the other birds.
Tui was asked to wear two white feathers to mark him as a coward. Pukeko was sent to live in the swamp and get wet everyday. Pipiwharauroa was not allowed to build a nest anymore and had to lay eggs in other birds nests.

Kiwi was blessed by Tanemahuta for his courage.Kiwi became the most loved birds of all.He ate all the bugs that were eating Tanemahuta’s children. The Kiwi lived happily down on the forest floor forever.

My Game Experience

My Game Experience

WOOHOO!!
Every Summer Saturday morning,I set off with my team to the Baseball game.But the only problem is that I get nervous,like really nervous.My heart pounds so fast, my body shaking and hungry for the trophy.
I play for Pakuranga Diamond Blacks.

We all got off the bus and started setting up the bases,the bat,helmets,the gloves and the baseballs.The others jogged around the field and I joined them.

Suddenly we saw a blue coloured team jogging behind us That was our rival team called Centrals.

It was 9:00am. Our Coach Kevin shouted,“Guys come and get your gloves on.We are fielding!!”.
We ran as fast as we could to the tarpaulin and grabbed our gloves. Kevin chose nine fielders to go to their positions.I could tell that some of my team already knew that they’re going to be chosen.I got chosen last, that means I was going to be on base 3.

All of a sudden I heard,“BATTER UP!!”.One of the Central team  was batting.We were ready.
WHACK!!! the ball went high and came down fast to where I was standing.I walked three steps backwards and caught the ball.The umpire shouted,“YOU'RE OUT!!”
My team cheered at me and I was very excited.

It was half time.The Centrals were fielding and we were batting andI was first.I was really nervous, like someone was holding a gun to my head.Central number 8 was pitching and he threw so fast that I had to hit the ball.SMASH!!The ball went as far as possible,and I knew that I was going to run all three bases.I ran Base 1,Base 2,Base 3 and I did a slide to Home Base and the umpire shouted,“ONE point for Diamond Blacks”My Team.
My Parents cheered at me.

The game was finished and we celebrated at headquarters.Our coach took out a trophy and said,“The player of the day is Keaton because of his good behavior and impressive sportsmanship”I was disappointed that I didn’t win,because I thought I was the player of the day.

Well  then Zaid’s mum came with delicious marshmallow coated rice bubbles.They were delicious.They tasted like the real marshmallow rice bubbles,but strawberry bubblegum flavour.
My friend Lachlan called out to me,“Lisi!!It’s time to go!!”I set up my equipment and got ready to go home.I said a big goodbye to everyone and walked happily to the van.
I got on and felt really happy and they dropped me at home.I shouted,“BYE!!”to Lachlan and his dad.
He replied back ,“BYE!”
That was the best game that I ever played.

Depressing Dogs

One hot sunny day at Mission Bay lying down on the hot sand,seeing kids at the beach and people eating fish and chips.Smelling the hot air and tired of hearing laughs,shouting and mostly crying.But wait,I see two unusual things playing around.OH YEAH!!Two dogs at the beach playing together with a tennis ball in its mouth.Running around and splashing at each other.Kids running out from the beach like D-Day.I close my eyes for 5 seconds and I see no dogs.I stand up and when I was about to run,the two dogs came out of the blue and splashed sand at me.I didn’t want to swim because of those two dirty dogs,splashing and drooling in the water.EEEWWW!!!

Cultural Walkthrough Feedback

When I thought about the Cultural Day, it was going to be exciting but when I discovered I was going to be a presenter, I was feeling a bit furious inside.Although it was fun being a presenter because I had two jobs to do being a DJ and a reader, I was disappointed that I couldn't go around all the classes.Fortunately,this morning all the presenters got a turn to visit all the classes.

Comments and Questions

This term we were learning about three different points to make a good blog comment.The three points are Positive,when you tell them about how good their blog post is,but remember to be specific.Thoughtful,you can answer questions and make connections.Helpful,giving the person a link to what they are interested in or give them more information.I enjoy leaving comments on other peoples blogs because I hope it makes them feel good.It was challenging because some of the posts had  information I couldn't help with,but you can always ask a question like I did below.

The Lesson with Constable Julie

Thanks to Constable Julie for the chart.

Today Constable Julie came to Room 7 and taught us about  'How long would it take for a vehicle to stop if it is going different speeds?'.

Each person stood with a number to show 10 metre arks up to 70 meters. If the car goes 30 kilometres per hour it would take 15 metres to stop.
Constable Julie let us estimate how long would the car need to stop if it goes 24,39,57,79 and 102 kilometres per hour. We stood in a group by the person holding the right number. The faster the car goes the more distance it needs to stop.Even if you have the best protection,you're still vulnerable. This chart shows how fast the vehicle will go per hour and how many metres will it need to stop on.

ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day is a day to remember the New Zealand soldier who fought in the war and try their best to survive.People wear those red flowers,they are called Poppies.Poppies is another way to show respect on ANZAC.I really like soldiers because they train very hard and they help other countries in war.In the olden days,New Zealand saved Britain from being attacked by German planes.I would want to be a soldier when I grow up.If you are interested CLICK ME to know more.

The Perfect Morning

Chirp!!Wow! Birds chirping at my ears every morning I wake up,it happens.Also raindrops attacking my roof. I looked outside my bedroom window and saw the grass sparkling at my eyes like gold that was dug out from a shipwrecked.After that,I smelt the sweet homemade scones and the noise of the Teapot boiling.The scone was very tasty with butter on top and dipped it into my tea.It was delightful.Soon, I got dressed and packed my bags and lunch.I wacthed a little bit of T.V.My favourite cartoon is Ben 10.A while later,my Dad came early from the gym and picked us up and dropped us off to school.

I was really nervous because there was a swimming tournament at ten past nine.I thought that there were heaps of kids coming,but there was only three people coming.When we got there,I got really scared like I had nihgtmares all night.Next we got changed into our togs and have practise in the pools.The pools was so deep,it was like 2 metres deep.It was my turn next and that when I got really really scared.It was time to get in the pool,man it was so cold (It was as cold as the refridgeorator).On your marks,get set,GO!!.I raced my hardest and swim 50 metres.When I got to the 25 metres, I started to drown and I reached the floor and pushed up and continued on my race and did my second 25 metres.Finally, I made it,but I came last,it doest matter because its not all about winning, its all about having fun.I got out and felt dizzy because I swallowed a lot of water.It was horrible.

A while later,Mrs Holderness told us to get changed to go back to school.Man,I was so happy in the inside.When we got there,we went to the office and met the new office lady in the principal's office.Well, we can tell that she was excited.

The pistil (pis-tol) is the female part of the flower.The stigma is the big long tube in the middle of the flower.The style is the tube in the middle of the stigma.The ovary is where the egg of the flower is placed.
