“Go to the Principals office” Miss Sally yelled as she pointed her finger to Christian as he  wasn’t focused on school work. Staunching angrily outside the classroom he was aware of a strange awkward whisper that had echoed through his ears. Taking a quick look back he couldn’t see anyone there. “Aye thats strange” he thought in his mind as he was destinate to find where it came from.

Feeling so anxious of trying to figure out where that whisper had come from he knew he would be in a lot of trouble if he didn’t go to the office. So he told Miss Sally and the class but they wouldn’t believe him they thought he was lying like he always does. But Christians friend Aidan believed him so they made up a plan to try find where that whisper came from.

Christians friend Aidan was gonna distract the principal while Christian tries to find where the whisper came from. He searched everywhere but there were no sounds of the whisper. Almost getting tired of searching he thought to himself “if I heard the strange whisper near my class its gotta be near there”. Arriving back at his classroom door he heard it the second time he was fortunate to figure where it was.

Searching around his classroom bay he was getting frustrated where it was coming from. “Could it be the birds” he thought as he kept searching where it was.

Taking another step in his classroom bay he could hear the screaming wind echoing straight through his ear drums as he was aware of the same particular sound. “It was the wind that whole time” he said as he rushed off to the principal office to spread the news to his friend Aidan.

Potaua - Halloween Recount

British and French isles started the celebration in order to respect the Lord of the Dead, Samhain. Druids or local priest started rituals and celebrations including bonfires, in the hopes that they would make Samhain happy.

Halloween is celebrated by having family traditions or community events. Halloween is a special day to remember the dead. The traditional event of Halloween for most countries is to dress up in a costume and walk around the neighbourhood to strangers houses.

Philippines trick-or treating is gradually replacing the tradition of Pangangaluluwà, a local version of the old English custom of souling. Some provinces in the Philippines still celebrates “Pangangaluluwa” by forming a group that will go house to house and offer a song in exchange for money or food.

For most countries halloween is celebrated on the 31st of October but some countries celebrate their Halloween day on November the 1st.

FairyTale

Rapunzel

Once upon a time, there was a King and a Queen who lived in a mansion far far in GI. One day the queen was ill and there was no cure treatment. A few days had passed by when the guards found a mysterious box full of panadol tablets. It was a treatment to help the Queen and her baby to survive.

“It’s a GIRL” shouted the King as tears rushed down his cheeks. She had very fine blonde hair. They named her Rapunzel. A year passed by, the baby started getting neglected. One night an evil and old bald witch had seen the cute baby sleeping. She broke the window, then snatched the baby right out of the cot. She took the baby and raised her as her own.

As years went by, Rapunzel grew older and became a teenager. The witch locked her up in a tall sky-tower. The witch made money off of the magical hair of rapunzel and the witch became rich and famous.

Meanwhile at the mansion the queen and king finally cared about Rapunzel. They updated a status on facebook and sent messages to all the royal family and the village . Being rewarded money to who could find and return Rapunzel alive. Everyone rounded up a group to find Rapunzel.

There is a charming prince named Mando who wanted to find Rapunzel by himself. He found the Sky Tower and Shouted “Rapunzel Rapunzel, are you there?” Rapunzel didn’t reply. He decided to go and find her. But the witch had a wicked plan. She had hidden in the closet and waited for Mando to come in.

Entering the room, I see nothing but darkness, all I could hear was the mumble of someone who had been taped across the mouth. It was Rapunzel, I went to follow the sound of her voice so I can untie her, when the lights flashed on. Popping out of the closet, unexpectedly the witch came out and tied him up.

“Help Help” cried Rapunzel. Begging for help the witch walked up to rapunzel wanting to give her a beating of a lifetime. Luckily, Mando had a knife on him. He had cut loose and freed Rapunzel.

They managed to escape but the witch had freed her hounds.

Running for their lives, Rapunzel tripped over the log. Looks to be that she had broken her leg. But the prince  remembered he had swiss army knife, as he saw the witch coming closer to hurt her. he pulled his knife”Swish” He cut Rapunzels hair,the witch slowly turned into dust and they lived happily ever after THE END.

Spoken Word

Today Joshua Iosefo came in to room 21 and talked to us about Spoken Word.

He says that everybody's voice is valuable and there's no limit to writing.Today I talked about Yr 7/8 school rules.

School rules are affecting everybody in yr 7/8 because we are getting in trouble for certain things. Mostly little things like shoes, bubble gum, tapping/drumming , and a lot more. The most important rule is attitude and behaviour it can get you in a lot of trouble. The most boring of all is being late for school. Our senior block starts school at 8:30 am and if we come 5 minutes late we get a detention. Only if we have a reasonable explanation we get let off.
