These past few weeks we have been writing story’s for literacy, every week we either had to make a new one or continue I chose to make a new story, My goal was to make sure that my story made sense and flowed smoothly, I Improved my grammar because I made sure to add full stops and capital letters,  I think one thing that I could improve on was the paragraphs because some of them were talking about the same thing and not changing it up a bit

Here is my story

The Club

One day I was walking around my mansion and I figured out that i wanted to go to a club but I wasn’t old enough to because in Europe you have to be 21 but im only 20 and all of my friends are going and I don’t know what to do because if I go then I will have to make a fake id and I don’t want to do that but I have to go because I booked this place for my 20th birthday party but I only found out yesterday that you have to be 21 so my only option is to make a fake id but i’m sure they won’t notice because i’m the richest person in Europe so they won’t think that I would make a fake id, right?.

I got out my printer and all of my stuff and I got my assistants to make it because they are really good at making stuff, While they were making it I needed to go shopping to get my outfit for my party so I went to the rich person mall and got my stuff, I got a gold sparkly dress some silver diamond shoes my outfit was so good but I better get home to check on my id. When I got home I went staring up to my room to get ready but then my assistants yelled out mrs coral your id is ready so I took the elevator down the stairs and when I got down there it was perfect it looked to real and I was so happy that they could pull it off so I said thank you and went back up the elevator to get ready.

When I was done getting ready I got in my limo and picked up all of my mates on the way, we were having a party in the bus and then we got dropped off at the club, all of my mates were 21 but not me so I pulled out my fake id and they let me in, I was so surprised that I got in but I was also really happy. When I got in I got out all of the food and we had so much fun. We played games, we took shots and we played spin the bottle, when it was my turn it landed on my Boyfriend so at least it landed on him otherwise I would have been so embarrassed that I suggested the game. 

In the middle of the night the club was closing but I had lost my id so I couldn’t leave I was really scared to try and leave so I called my Mom and started walking but the still stopped me and I had to say that I lost it so we all went looking for it and when we found it they knew that it was fake so I was so sad but it was ok I had to go to jail for a few months and I got out on my 21st birthday so I could finally get an id but I was banned from that club so I had to go to a new one.

This term the year 8 girls did self Defence we had 5 1 hour sessions but they were all spread over 3 weeks. Her name was Linda. Over the Weeks every session I started to feel more confident and comfortable. We learnt how to protect ourselves in an unsafe situation. We learnt how to do punches, kicks and how to strangle and how to get out of someone strangling you. She also taught us to use our voices if there is a creepy man in public or somewhere else you know. It was very fun but also sad because she told us story’s that happens to girls and they weren’t very good. 1 in 3 woman get attacked by men each year witch is very sad, I didn’t know what to expect going into this but it made me feel more confident and comfortable.I think that girls all ages should get to do self defence because it is a good opportunity.

This week me and my friend Stella helped with girls got game basketball with the year 5&6 students, they focused on there passing balls with both hands they played octopus and then at the end we played a half court game of basketball, I had 3 of the year 5&6 on my team, at the end of the game we were tied 3 nil. I thought it was really fun because we got to learn new skills and do new things. The RISE value I used was success, because when I didn’t get it in I kept trying and got it in.

Every week the students in Tangaora go to tech on a Thursday. I am in sewing and we are making a tote bag, On Thursday I made the design , It was hard but it was also fun because I got to sketch new designs onto my tote bag. The bag that I am doing says save the turtles because you have to do one about the environment and saving the animals and things like that.

The RISE value I think I used was success because although it was hard I got it done and I didn’t give up.

When you are in the water you need to wear a life jacket especially if you are fishing or on a boat. Swim in the flags at the beach if you are not confident or if you are because it is just safer and always have someone with you and NEVER swim alone.  Look out for each other because if you are lost and need help and you dont see a life guard you have someone there to help you.

Of the drowning deaths so far in 2022, 

19 occurred while swimming, 14 occurred from a powered boat over four metres, 21 deaths occurred at a beach and 16 were in rivers.

Males overwhelmingly made up the majority of drownings, at 82.5% of all drownings

One thing that i think is really important for when you are swimming is if your in trouble you have probably been told to put your hand up in the air but sometimes people think that you are just waving at them.  when you are in trouble make sure to have your hand in a  fist because they can see you better and know that you are in trouble.

My goal for fitness is to be able to run the whole bike track without stopping. Sometimes I will go swimming. My goal for swimming is to get up to 10 lengths with stopping and then eventually get up to 10 lengths with out stopping in freestyle and then move onto 5 lengths of backstroke with stopping and then 5 lengths without stopping.

This week was my first tech session at a year 8, First we went on the bus, It was very cramped because some of the yr sevens didn’t know where they were going, I sat with Meah it was fun and we had a good talk.

Next we arrived and I was in sewing, It was fun and we cut out the template of our blanket, I liked it but I couldn’t Finnish cutting it out, We also filled out 2 sheets of paper one was stuff about us and the other one was just a  booklet about climate change and what you wanted your bag to look like.

On the way back I sat with Meah and Nyah the ride back was fun and we all had  a good time, I enjoyed tech because it was something different and it was fun because I like sewing.

This week was the first week back at school, It has been fun because I have made some new friends and we have been doing things in our groups, There are some new people in our class but I don’t really know them.

There was 4 rotations. With Sharon we had to do an art project about things you care about and things like that, With Nicole we did a maths project and we had to write 5-7 things related to us and maths, For example you could work out how many months old you are and how many letters are in your name, With Talei we did stuff around books, You had to wrote down what type of books you like and your favourite book and many more, It was fun because at the end we got to draw thing and color things in and lastly Mr Redmond, With Mr Redmond we did things like writing on our books and handing things in.

My highlight about coming back to school was meeting all of the year 7 come into out class, I knew most of them but I didn’t know all of them, Another one of my highlights was hanging out with my friends and doing new things.

I hope next week I will start talking to the new people in our class and talk to some of the year 7.

My long term goal is going to be football because I love playing it with all of my friends

Me and my friends  Sophie and Amber played taco, cat, goat, cheese, pizza, if you dont know that game it is like the game snap but you dont wanna be last because f you are last then yo get the pile and you want to be the one with the least amount of cards because  if you have the most cards then you will loose
