Kia ora  Armstrong. My name is Jose i am a year 8 from Room 1 at Ruapotaka school. I really like how you made your Matariki landscape the colour it really fits in with the Matariki theme.And I like the amazing stars you have put in, it reminds me of how I made my Matariki star the way you have blended it in with the sky is just beautiful.Keep up the good work Armstrong .

This term, I want to improve at my school work to get a good report card.I will achieve this goal by focusing more on my work and not mucking around with my friends, 

I want to improve my Math skills by focusing more on the questions and not saying I’m cooked, i will challenge myself by trying to answer the more difficult questions.

I’m going to work on my times table by practising it everyday at school before term 4.

Invariably-in every case or on every occasion  always

Prominent-important or famous

Reluctant-unwilling and hesitant

Ambiguous-open to more than one interpretation not having one obvious meaning

Procedure-an established or official way of doing something

Candid-truthful and straightforward frank.

Counteract-act against something in order to reduce its force or neutralize it.

Criteria-a principle or standard by which something may be judged or decided.

Leverage-the extent of force by means of a lever.

Beholden-owing thanks or having a duty to someone in return for help or service.

We have been learning about Pathetic fallacy.Pathetic fallacy is giving an emotion to something non human, here is my examples.

The table got disgusted by the food, laid out on it.

The clouds got so sad, that it made a rain storm.

The tornado was anxious, it blew everything in its path.

My favourite moments at camp was when we did archery and ate and also went on the flying fox. Archery was so fun the coach (derek) taught us how to use the bow and how to shoot it,he said that he didn’t want the arrows to go wonky when we first went on i was stink at it but calla was losing all of his arrows.She lost so much that we had to use a flu flu arrow the practise arrow,i never got a turn with it but i’m glad i didn’t because when i saw my friends using it the arrow would just air ball into the ground.But then we found the arrows and we got to it again but you know calla losing all of the arrows but then we were done with his activities and we went to ho try the flying fox.The flying fox looked fast but it actually wasn’t it was slow but long and when we went on it it was so slow but i didn’t care it was a nice breeze tho.And when we were done mrs T had a turn and we were laughing hard out,we had a few more turns and then we went to eat dinner.Dinner was so yum but i can’t say the same for epalahame.Bro had 4 pieces of vegetables but he acted like he was going to be sick hame is always so dramatic when it comes to vegetables and when it was desert i basically ate all of the year 8 and 7 pie or smth.But eventually i got full and i was done,but those were my favourite camp moments at bigfoot adventures.

In a small town in new zealand a group of ordinary teens-Joseph an inspiring Scientist Lagi a tech geek and Daniel a martial artist Stumble upon  cloaked figure perched on a rooftop eyes scanning the streets below it’s our protagonist, Farhan, a skilled hacker turned vigilante.

Farhan (in mind) They think they’re safe. They have no idea what lurks in the dark

1.Jose He was a Landlubber.Very un familiar with the ship but this guy  greets the people. Welcome aboard.He says, and so we were off.

2.There was a big boat and this fat guy welcomed us aboard. When I went in I saw this pointy bit, kind of like a Bowsprit.A pointy bit that is used for securing points for lines attached to the forward sails.

3 The wind was so heavy and cold that I felt like I had to unfurl myself.

4.i was helping with the boat and a instructor asked if i could help him with the yardarm.A extremity of a ship’s yard.Its was kind of hard at first but we got it done

5.I was having a look around the boat and came across a MASSIVE sculpture.Almost the size of the whole boat at some time i thought that it was going to crush me because i thought it would break the boat.
