2020 Reflection
2020 Reflection
Introduction:
This year has been a big year for me! We started the year off in Room 6, had a “normal” start to the year, and then we went into lockdown because of Covid19. We had to do something we’ve never done before - online school. We were so new to this and had to learn how to be efficient online learners, and we did such a good job. This year, although it was interrupted, had many positives.
Paragraph 1: First highlight of the year and why it was a highlight. Talk about how you felt.
→ My first highlight of 2020 was the year 6 and 5 camp and the lockdown quarantine. I Was really happy.
Paragraph 2: Second highlight of the year and why it was a highlight. Talk about how you felt.
→ My second highlight of 2020 was when we came back to school and things got better and better. I was crazy excited.
Paragraph 3: Third highlight of the year. and why it was a highlight. Talk about how you felt.
→ My third highlight was another camp and it was a trip to Kawau island and we got there to stay there for 4 days and 3 nights.
Paragraph 4: Something that was difficult that happened at school this year
→ The most difficult part of 2020 was when we went to lockdown for the first time and then we went back to school and then we went back to lockdown and that was the most difficult thing ever.
Conclusion: Any thank yous that you want to say, anything else you want to add about the year, what you are looking forward to in 2021.
→ Thank you Miss Tuia for looking after me. If I am stuck on my work I had an awesome year with you. I wish I was in your class again. You're the funniest and coolest. teacher i've ever had and thank you also for getting me on task when i'm not working or when i'm getting distracted from my friends. The most Thing that I'm looking forward to in 2021 is me being a year 7 and being in the same classes with some of the year 8’s and also I'm looking forward to most of the fun things we are going to have.

Killer Boat
One day i went out with my friends and we went on a boat and it was called boat killer because a lot of people that go on the boat or went on the boat they fell off or they died from touching stuff that is on the boat. When we got onto the boat we had to follow the rules and the rules were that we cannot eat and drink on the boat and the 2nd rule was that we cannot have any pets or animals along the boat ride and the last rule which is not to interrupt the captain of the boat. Once we went to go on the boat we were driving and then while we were driving we felt a bump that was under the boat so we all stopped and went crazy once the guards went looking for what it was and then when they checked it was a humongous shark that was swirling around inside of the ocean and when they went to go check the other side of the boat there was another humongous shark swirling around in the water. While everyone was going crazy the Captain of the boat yelled and said HEY EVERYONE IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT JUST STAY CALM AND RELAX. After a couple of seconds everyone was calm and relaxed when they were relaxing for like 2 minutes they felt another bump but a much bigger bump when they looked again they saw a massive whole inside the boat and it was getting filled up with water and then again everybody started to panic and go crazy. Then I Replied Captain I thought we were going to be alright then he just smirked and said it's alright so then the guards had the official AK 47 and they started firing at the sharks when they were firing at the sharks. The sharks were getting us back by eating all the bits of the boat so then the captain yelled again just at the guards and saying down then they both replied what!? Why? Then the captain was like put them down and lay low the guards asked why? Again but then the captain said that if we fire at the 2 sharks they are going to get us back and they are just gonna break us down by eating the boat so then the 2 guards stopped shooting and then they just swam away real fast. While they were going away the drive just went back and everyone was safe and happily after. THE END.

Holiday Memory Recount
Start Writing Here:
One Sunny Bright morning me and my family went to Time Zone. When We Arrived At The Time Zone we had to pay and check how many tickets we could spend. The total of tickets that came in was 150 tickets. When we officially paid for ourselves and tickets we could go and play but we only had 1 card and that 1 card had all the tickets in it. The first game we played was basketball. The top score was 43 and my older brother got 44. I only got 32.
We moved onto our next game and that was a gun game. I don't know what it was called but we placed the card to pay for the game. There were 4 seats so it was me, my older brother, my older sister and my dad. When we were waiting to load it said press start to play so we all pressed start. The Game was about saving the planet from these zombie thinging’s to stop eating people and to stop destroying but where we were it wasn't the earth it was in space in a rocket space thing as we. Anyways We started to wait until the zombies came and then after like 15s they came out then we all started to shoot and then but we started to shoot and the big ones first because they took more damage to us then the little mini ones. When We took out the big zombies we went straight to the little ones and they were only like 50 health so it was easy to destroy them. After that we had to do the level again but this time it was all of the zombies combined and just a little zombie with a gun in his hand shooting at us with his lazers. We tried to defeat the boss but my sister and my dad were to busy killing the little one and me and my brother were trying to get the huge one down we were mad because we were gonna die but they finally listened and started shooting the Big one the huge one finally died after for like 5,000 hundred years we moved onto the small one it was easy though. So then we went to go have a feed at texas chicken at manukau. The End.
