Writing a Letter to thank people at camp

 Gurpuneet S

40 Campion rd Gisborne

5/11/20

Dear Francois,

I'm writing to you today to thank you for giving me secret tips about how to shoot and hold a slingshot and helping me out.

One of my highlights for me was playing the wonderful game of survivors. I was an omnivore and I could only kill some of the herbivores. The aim of the game was to stay alive and kill other animals. The only people you couldn't get was the diseases and the people because the people had guns {Not real guns}. To win we had to get the whole punched in a card that we were given before the game started. I have to say some adults are way too fast for me.

So thank you very much for making my camp extremely enjoyable than ever. Also you're quite an assassin in slingshot paintball since you have been learning for about a year or so.

They taught us how to pass only backward and not forwards in rugby. 

In the game capture the ball we had two teams, the girl's team, and the boy's team. We had to dodge the opposite team and avoid getting touch by them otherwise you will have to go around the sign and go back to your side, but if you don't get tagged then you can get the ball from the ground and hold up in the air to get a point before the other team gets all of them.

Room 2 raps

Today our class was learning all about the Sacraments of initiation.

Weta Research

Weta

Weta is a creature that is alive now and used to be in dinosaur time. Weta’s name means the god of ugly things. These animals are nocturnal which means they sleep at day time and then wake up at night time. Did you know that there are 70 different species of weta. This creature's full name is Wetapunga.

Did you know that these creatures don’t have a nose and if they want something to eat they use their antennae to feel the food. They use their pulps to eat food. Weta’s can grow upto 10 centimetres long in length. These weta’s antennas are longer than their body’s.

Tree weta’s live in forest and cave weta’s live in caves. Some of these weta’s live in shrubland. Different species of weta’s live in different places.

Weta’s can shed their skin 10 times a year. Did you know that female weta’s can lay 6 eggs a time. Weta’s poo are fertilizers. Female weta can lay 300 eggs throughout their life.

Do you know what CST means {Catholic Social Teaching}

I found it difficult to add the background and the information.

I found it easy to get the text and the shapes. 

Next time I would add more detail and information.

Is football the best sport

Don’t you think that football is the best sport in the world?  Well I think it is,

because it helps you work in a team and be active.

In this speech I will be telling you about ways to curve the ball into the goal,

playing actively and some

of the famous players that play soccer. 

I strongly believe that soccer is a wonderful sport to play,

because then you can learn different skills. Soccer is an outside sport,

which helps you go outside and make you stop staring at the tv all day.

In soccer you have to be athletic and try to control the ball.

The aim of the game is to get past other players and score a goal.

You can’t always score a goal, but sometimes if you are lucky then it might go in.

If you are very close to the goal and you have clear space

then you can have a try shooting with your foot. Also if you are on the

left side of the field and you are a right footer then have a try curving the ball by hitting it with your right foot but on the top,

always aim for the middle so it goes to the side and confuses the goalie.

Approximately, there are over 250 million soccer players that play soccer every year.

In poor countries, people make soccer balls and play football with no gear.

If you keep practising and practising soccer then there would be a

chance of you joining a club. Even though it is a fun game, you might get injured

sometimes if you are not that careful. 

Lastly, soccer is a team sport played with 11 players each side and the others are subs.

Soccer is played on a big grassy area called a pitch.

Famous players know lots of skills especially, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez.  

In conclusion, I believe that I have told you everything about soccer skills,

famous players and ways to shoot. I hope you liked my speech and the things

I told you, The end.

Cheetahs

The cheetah is one of the fastest cats in the cat family such as lion’s, jaguars and more. Cheetahs are mammals and their scientific name is Acinonyx Jubatus. The Cheetah’s family name is Felidae. These creatures are carnivores which means they eat meat. In Africa and central Iran, the native animal is the cheetah. The rare species of cheetahs is the king cheetah and instead of black spots it has black blotches.

Cheetahs have black tear marks near their eyes because it helps them reflect the sun during daytime hunting. Did you know that cheetahs can’t roar but instead make a high pitched noise. When a baby cheetah is born it has a grey mane going down its back so other creatures can’t see them in their hiding places, while their parents are gone to get food. A fully grown adult's tail is 80cm long, that's about as long as a big wooden 1 metre ruler. 

Cheetahs are native to Africa and central Iran. You can find cheetahs in the Sahara desert, India and sometimes in Pakistan. In Africa there are lots of cheetahs in the Savannah where they find food.

Did you know that cheetahs can run upto 100m in less than 3 seconds. When a cheetah is running after its prey It can move its body in mid air. Cheetahs can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in 5 seconds. Like other animals cheetahs can not retract their claws. When a cheetah is looking straight it can see left and right at the same time. I think cheetahs should get looked after and cared but not hunted because they are lovely animals that don’t often hurt humans.

Mum

Why are Mum’s so important?

Do you know why Mums are so important to us?

Well if you don’t know then I will tell you today. Mums are
important to us because they're the ones who gave birth to us.
They help us in our work and make us healthy food so we can
grow stronger and healthier. Sometimes Mums growl us which
we think is bad but they do it for our own good. They are the
ones who teach us manners. If we don’t listen to our Mums then
we will not have success in life. So I say that we all listen to our
Mums and not get angry at them.

workers. This all happened because of the virus that was
leaked in China, Wuhan. During level 3 lockdown, the roads
were very quiet, there were hardly any cars on the roads.

Even though it was quiet outside, I could hear the birds
chirping on the green trees. I was a bit happy and a bit sad,
at the same time. I was happy because I was allowed to play
a bit more call of duty on my tablet, with my friends, but I
was sad because I wasn’t allowed to go outside for bike
riding. 

A few days later…

It had been a while staying at home, so I decided to start
coding. I used to attend coding classes, so I knew quite a lot
of coding. 

Well today, in the afternoon, I decided to do coding, on
visual studio code. On that site, I learned that I can make
my own website, but I will have to learn the language
Javascript, Html, CSS, etc. So I asked my brother to help
me because I am not a master coder. He has a lot of
knowledge about coding and programming. So I started
coding, with his instructions. While I was coding, my
brother also told me that “It takes a long time to finish a
website”. Also, I need to learn a lot of new things about
coding.

5 weeks in the lockdown…

It was not that bad staying at home and doing lots of work.
I loved doing things at home, like making forts, doing
studyladder, cooking pikelets, and doing maths buddy.
Today I was carrying on with my tasks because my Mum said
so. I kind of like maths buddy because it is good for kids like
my age and other ages. Maths buddy is all about maths. You
can learn measurement, addition, subtraction, multiplication,
and more maths. I think it is a wonderful site for kids who
want to get better at math.

2 weeks later…

It was awesome staying at home because after I had done
my study, I was allowed to play call of duty with my friends.
We all played together on our Ipads. Once we had started
playing battle royale, nobody could even disturb us because
the thing was that I had headphones on. I loved playing cod
mobile with my friends because we all like gun games and
secondly, we can meet each other and talk privately.
On other days, I usually play with my brother because my
friends are only allowed on Tuesday. We all have lots of fun,
especially me. The End.

On a wonderful morning, when I was about to have a cup of coffee, my phone rang. I answered it and it was Mrs, Aperahama. She said that there was a mystery case, somebody had stolen her chocolates from her table. I said “I am coming” and then I left the phone on my couch. I put on my best detective suit. Then I quickly headed outside. Outside, my best shining red Ferrari car was waiting for me. I jumped into my car and went to Saint Mary's School to investigate the mystery case. When I got there, I saw Mrs, Aperahama. She said that this case happened only thirty-seven minutes ago. I asked her “what kind of chocolates were they?”. She answered, “The brand of the chocolates was dairy milk”. Then I went inside the office and there were three teachers standing there. I asked them their names. They said “Miss McGuigan, Mrs B, and Miss Hickling”. One by one, I started asking them questions about the case. I started with the principal, Miss McGuigan. She said “I was on the sports department site, working on my computer when Mrs Aperahama came and started yelling “my chocolates, my chocolates, they are stolen”. When I was about to investigate from the next teacher, the bell rang and I had to let them go on duty.

During lunch, Mrs B came to me, while I was checking room 3. She said that there was something she had to show me. I followed her into room 2 and she pointed at the rubbish bin. I was about to say that you are just playing with me when I saw millions and billions of wrappers of dairy milk chocolates. I said, “wow, this is an awesome clue”. She also said,” when she was passing by room 2, she saw a teacher throwing chocolates in the bin.” I asked her if she saw her face. She said, “No, but the person was a woman that had blond hair”. I said, “Thanks for telling me the clue”. After lunch, I talked to Miss Hickling about a person throwing chocolate wrappers into room 2’s bin.
She didn’t say anything and looked very very worried. I said did you steal Mrs Aperahama’s chocolates? She said n-nn-nnn--nno-no. I looked at her very suspiciously and then finally she said, “Yes, I did do it”. Everybody was shocked. Then she told me that she had cravings for the chocolates, But I knew Mrs Aperahama wouldn’t let me eat her chocolates. That's Why I stole the chocolates.
So then the thief is……………. MISS HICKLING. The End.
