9T english

 

This is my reflection on what I have done and learnt in my year 9 English class this year.

The activities and work we did this year were Getting to know myself so in that mahi we just wrote about our hobbies and things we love and like to do and also facts about ourselves we also had to add photos to give it more detail and color to our mahi. Another piece of work we had to do was our speech and this speech was about a person we admired or who we wanna grow up to be just like. Our last mahi we had to do for term 1 was what we know about the treaty of Waitangi. This is my reflection on our term 1 English work.

In term 2 the mahi we had to do was a reading response on a book called See ya Simon, this book was about a boy who had muscular dystrophy. Muscular dystrophy is a disease given to you at birth but it isn't as bad when your a newborn but as you grow older the more the disease affects you, this disease weakens your muscles and makes you very very skinny and by the time your 10 or 11 you won't be able to walk you will have to be pushed in a wheelchair. Then by the time your 12 or 13 you will eventually pass away because your body cannot handle it. So that is what See ya Simon was about. The next mahi we had to do for term 2 was another reading response but this time is was about a comic you read, my comic book was about the ancient demi god named Hercules. The title of the story was The Incredible Hercules. Hercules is a demi god, son of the powerful thunder god Zeus. The story was about Hercules meeting a human boy named Amadeus who could save the world but the rest of the gods were against Hercules teaming up with boy because he was human and they said "We would rather kill him!" and they all rushed at him but Hercules jumped in front of him protecting him and said "If you wanna get to him, You'll have to get through me first!". That's basically what is was about. This is my reflection on our term 2 English mahi.

In term 3 our mahi was about film studies. We learnt about different camera angles and shots that directors use in movies like a high angle shot, a low angle shot, a three man shot and a two man shot. There are many more but it's just to much to name that's how many there are. We also watched movies and short films and after we watched them we had to name all the different camera shots and camera angles they used. All of the films we watched were Dust buddies, Kung foo panda, Frosty and the BMX kid and New boy. This is our reflection of term 3 English mahi.

For this term we learnt about creative writing and different Nouns, Verbs, Adverbs, Adjectives, Similes, Alliteration, Metaphors and Personification. We also done a letter to ourselves but on our first day of school, it is just a letter about what we need to expect about college and how it is not as bad as you think. This is my reflection on our term 4 mahi.

My jungle creative writing

My jungle scene contains Sparkling water running down the waterfall with an enormous elephant in the back, The parrot that is as blue as the sky, A tiger behind the trees sneaking around probably looking for prey, The cute mort waving at the picture, two very tired looking sloths, a very curious monkey, a lizard that is as still as a statue, a turtle that is as slow as a snail, a massive hippo grey as the angry clouds and very hypo looking fish jumping around with joy.

The scenery is so majestic the water is falling down hard trying to break the earth then running down the hill as if it was running away from danger, the water was shiny, reflecting off the shiny bright sun.l The trees and grass is so clean and beautiful it gives life to everything around it. The cliff in the background is so big and staunch like a giant castle wall protecting people from danger. The water wickedly went down the waterfall.

 

Balaclava story word art

Last week I made a word art with fifty words and all of them are key words in the story I read called The Balaclava story and it's about a boy that got left out because he didn't have a balaclava.A balaclava is a ski mask that covers your forehead and mouth.The most interesting part in the story was when he found a balaclava in the toilet then stuffed it down his friends coat sleeve.

 

See ya Simon Soccer scene

 

My class and I read a book named See Ya Simon and I chose one scene to reenacted in the book it was from the first chapter where Simon caught the ball in his lap then rolled his way to the goal then scored.Simon scored even though he's in a wheelchair so that means even if something bad has happened to you don't stop doing the things you love and never ever give up
