Byron H @ Greymouth High School

In writing today we have been reading and learning about what happens when you sleep. Miss Power shared 3 links to different bits of information for us to read  and take notes from for our own writing. We discussed some key ideas and started writing down our ideas. I have only just started with my first key idea. Here it is. The Advantages of sleep. When it becomes night time everyone needs to get a good night's sleep. Because if you do sleep you won't get grumpy. If you don't sleep for a few days you will start to forget things that you need to know. After not sleeping for more than 5 day you start to hallucinate. that is why everyone needs to get a goodnight sleep.

Walt: Write an Explanation In writing we were working on explanations and we allowed to write it on whatever we wanted. I wrote on how tornadoes are formed because it was a thing that I have been wondering for a very long time. I have always been interested in tornadoes and how strong they can get and how much damage they can do to buildings and landscapes. Here is my writing. Tornadoes are formed during thunderstorms. A tornado is a destructive vortex of violently rotating winds that have a look of a funnel-shaped cloud and it advances under large storms and get bigger as they go. Tornadoes are one of the most violent storms. You need warm and cool. When these two airs mix then they create a strong twirling wind that can destroy mostly everything that is in it’s way and they cannot be stopped. Tornadoes cause a wide range of damage and destruction, staying safe during one is important. Tornadoes are the cause of a lot of deaths. So if you see one and you’re outsi...

This week was the best Week that I had in Term 2. This was that because I learnt a lot of things and I had my 13th birthday. This week in maths I have been working on Multiplying fractions. It was really easy and I finished activities on it and they went really quick. here is a video on how to do it. For writing I wrote a new poem called a nightmare poem. It was based on a nightmare that I have had before. Here it is. Nightmare Poem As I was walking, I suddenly heard talking. Loud whispers, Sounded like sinister sisters. Wolfs howling, And ghosts prowling. Everything goes quiet, Then I heard a ghost riat. I ran for safety, I start to hear a crying baby. In the background, Walkers groaned. I ran for my house, But there was a giant mouse. The screams are getting louder, I see fog as thick as powder. Creatures start crawling towards me, I try to flee, But I’m cornered, So I start running forward. Something grabbed me as I leaped into the s...

This week we had to find the area of a rectangle and a triangle. It was easier than I expected and and I finished it quiet fast. Here are some of the questions we had to do. All you had to do was multiply them to get the answer for the rectangle. Here is a link if you want a try. This one was a bit harder. But then I learned that you half a number and then multiply them. Here is a link if you want to try them. In writing I've been working on my poetry anthology.  This is what I have so far. ρ๏ｅ๓ คηtђόŁόģ𝔂 βч β𝐲𝔯όή Poems: Alliteration Memery Diggerydoo Moonlight Surprise Alliteration Poem The calm crab was certain about cutting cheese for citizens in cap city.

WALT: USE STORY STARTERS IN THE DARK As we look through the window our hope turned into shock. We started running away from the window. It just Zachary, Reid, Riley.F, Riley.L and I, (Byron) were hiding for our lives because outside the old Castle was monsters coming to get us. We don’t know why but all we know is that we have to hide. It was a dark and stormy night, thunder was cackling like mad and the lightning was lighting up the place. We see something in the distance, Then when lightning flashed it was gone. When we looked we saw a lot of hair all over Riley .F and he was going really long nails. Something had happened to him when we weren’t looking. He started howling and then he transformed into a Werewolf.  Riley .F jumped at us then ran away to the other monsters. We ran off to hide. We suddenly heard noises coming after us so we started sprinting and we split off down 4 different hallways. I ran and found a big hall with 3 other exits but then Riley .L, Reid ...

WALT: Write 10 lies about our self's I’ve got scar on my arm because a lion attacked me when I was a baby. I get burnt easily because I went in space and touched the sun caught on fire. I’m a good swimmer because when I was a baby I was abducted by Mermaids. I love Star Wars because my friend was secretly Obi-Wan-Kenobi and he trained me. I’m funny because my Mum was a secret clown going around the town. I am so lazy because my brother was a couch potato and fed himself to me. I love listening to NCS because when I was young i was forced to listen to songs in the basement for 1 year. I am really good at roleplaying games because I am secret actor that performs in Hollywood every night. I am strong because I was told to push down trees and move mountains around when I was a child. I am attracted to shiny things because my granny married a leprechaun and became rich.

WALT: Write a descriptive piece of writing As I get ready to get on the seat a huge rush of adrenaline went through me. I was excited and nervous at the same time but as I sat down on the flying fox chair it all went away and I felt nice and calm. He asked “Permission to launch?”. They said “Is the seatbelt on, Is the hook off, is the rope away.” Phil said yes all 3 times. He asked if my legs were up. I said “Yeah why” and all of a sudden I was flying through the air over 30 K’s an hour. Riley, Reid and Zachary were waving as I went by. I see this huge wooden pole right in front of me and I think i’m gonna hit it but I start going backwards and I zoom back to where everyone was. It stops for a second and then I start traveling forwards again but at about 10 - 13 K’s an hour. I see the pole again. I start going backwards again but this time Tony lets me out the seat and the excitement goes away.

WALT: Write a descriptive peace of writing Imagine, sitting in the shade on nice hot day in front of clear water lapping over each other over and over again. The cool breeze is sailing past me calmly. The birds are chirping away like two ladies at a tea party. The kids are swimming and playing in the water and looking for crabs and fish. The smell of hot chips with ribs and a salad. The sound of the seagulls that are eyeing the chips. I look behind me and there my friends racing to see who gets here first because there was a seat let and on it it had a gift for them. We all hop in the water and it felt like sinking in 12 dozen clouds. It so refreshing and cooling. In the distance we can see a pod of dolphins playing with the fish by chucking them in the air and then another one jumping it in the air. We were thinking that was why there was no fish up here. We get called in for lunch. It was fish and chips with pomegranate juice. We were sitting under the shade because the sun was...

Some Mustaches are as brown as the darkest brown. It grows on your faceand some people grow them for fun. But then they shave them off when it gets to itchy.Some people (Like the French) grow them thin and twirl them around their fingers when they think on movies.My couzens dad has one but the never shaves it off so when he went to go say goodnight to them he would scrape it on our faces.

Here lies poor old Sam Who liked to eat a lot of ham She choked on some And it came out her bum Because she was really dumb

There once was a boy named Byron He loved to sound like a siren He made his mum proud She jumped into a cloud That’s the story of Byron

The cloud came from the sea... He done what he wants, Nothing commanded him, He helped as he pleased,  As he saw, He grow, He was the unbelievable, He is a cloud made of more.

On Tuesday the 28th of October room 11 went to the Real Art Road Show to see what type of art there was and I think that all the art was great. Some art was weird to look and and some were just funny. Everybody as a different peace of art that they liked but I have 2. There was one that was carved out of wood and a duck with a persons body was holding a gun at a person that I think was Gorge Washington and in my mind I was thinking that the duck-man was saying to Gorge Washington,                                                                                                           "NEVER SHOOT MY FAMILY AGAIN ELSE I WILL SHOT YOU" And the other one that I liked was 5 peaces of green stone and they went from smal...

WALT: Use 2 - 3 Paragraphs WALT: Show Not Tell As the night grew darker and the clouds disappeared, two brothers (Byron and Tristan) were out sleeping in the backyard. They were playing spotlight when they heard a noise up in the bush. They listen again to see if it would get louder. It did. They grabbed a Flashlight and started to chase it up the hill. They came to a dead end and then thought about where could it of gone.They went back down and cleaned themselves and then fell asleep. The next night they chucked some bread out and hid in the tent. When they heard the bush rattle again they stayed quiet as possible so they wouldn't scare it away. When they heard it eating the bread they shone the light on it. “IT”S A KIWI.” Byron whispered They quickly grabbed it by it’s legs but when they tried to grab the other leg they found out that it was missing it’s second leg. Byron and Tristan stayed up all night feeding it bread and looking after it. When the sun c...

THE SWING WALT: Use proper tense in my story WALT: Use 2 - 3 Paragraphs Paragraph 1 There in the distance where nobody has been for years was a little girl by herself. There was no grass where she was and it sounded like she wasn’t have that much fun. I went over to her to see what was the matter. “What is wrong little girl?” I whispered Paragraph 2 She didn’t hear me so I carried on. As I got closer I could see the she was as white as the fresh snow. I could hear a song that reminded me of my mother. I was scared but I still carried on walking towards her. I checked behind me to see if there was anymore figures and when I paired back she was gone. “Where are you little girl, you were just there on the swing and now you have disappeared?” I yelled Paragraph 3 I looked around to see if she was anywhere to be seen but all I could see was heavy fog and tree figures. The trees looked like they were coming closer every time I looked aw...
