Cristiano Ronaldo

   The Switch!

      WALT: use videos to make our writing better.

I'm the ball boy in the loud and big crowd I can see the soccer players. My favorite is Cristiano Ronaldo I look up to him and he's my role model I wish I could be like him. I grip the blue and red ball tightly and as Cristiano Ronaldo passes it to another team member to score. He knocked me over while running but it was on accident because he was running to fast we hit heads really hard. I fell on the rock hard ground it was as cold as ice. I felt sick and dizzy when I got back on my feet.

Then the usual I go back to my warm small house after a long day and sleep. Next sunny morning I wake up and I can’t believe what I see. I look through the mirror and I see Cristiano Ronaldo. I look through sparkly clear glass, and see a clear blue pool. I was confused did my parents by this?. I walk into another room and this lady throws me some gold car key.

I get changed and walk to the shiny black and red car, for some reason I know exactly where to go for soccer training and exactly how to drive. So I drove off all the way to my training place, all of Cristiano Ronaldo friends were there and expected me to do really well with my training.  

But they were mistaken because I am really bad at soccer. But I kept trying and trying and trying and eventually I got better. Cristiano Ronaldo’s friends kept laughing at me because it looked like I haven't even played before.

Then I go back to my shiney cool car and went back to my huge mansion. At 5.00am in the morning I go to training early so I can get ready for the tournament this afternoon. No ones there except for me, lucky the coach gave me keys for the equipment room so I can get the balls and cones. Then Cristiano Ronaldo friends turn up a while later and saw me training. They joined in and we all trained together. After a long time training, it was finally time for the tournament.

We went in a new white warm van because there weren't that many of us. Hours after that, we arrived. I was so excited, nervous and at the same time because I was excited to play and nervous to play in front of heaps of people and finally because I don’t want to lose. Not long after we were lining up to run out on the field. But then I look behind me and I see my real body I give Cristiano Ronaldo the evils, and he looks back with a cringe on his face. We ran out onto the green soft grass of the field. Then the game begins!. I stand around watching my team get goals every time we start with the ball. When the other team starts with the ball we try our best and get the ball, sometimes it just goes back and forth, back and forth. Suddenly one of my teammates kick on the right side of the field, me and Cristiano Ronaldo ran fast we were as fast as cheetahs. Finally we got to the small colourful ball, we tried to slide kick the ball but we did it at the same time.

We hit heads again really hard. Then I feel different I feel shorter, I look at myself and feel so happy I'm in my real body. We play on and we ended up on a tie. Then we go back home after a long huge crazy day and sleep.

Riccarton House

Riccarton House WALT: write a descriptive piece of writting

I love coming out at night, watching them sleep

until dawn. I am a ghost, I’ve been in this fancy house since it was built.  I watch over the humans that live here. When they shout, yell, scream it hurts my ears. Suddenly this lady named  Jane Deans recently died in her room. Not long after I went to investigate why this human died, but I couldn't find anything. I glided down stairs and at the bottom a group of people were doing some sort of funeral. I’ve been a ghost all my life, I’d never been a human before. I wonder what's it’s like. I look outside there was a man digging a hole I think it’s Jane Dean’s son. But sadly Jane Deans husband died before her death by a chest infection at the age of 34. Before Jane died she went into her sons room and told him that she loved listening to him play his violin. So when they took the coffin the hole he played a song on his violin. Not long after the funeral came to an end. I glided inside through the open wooden door. I glided inside  and saw moose and deer heads on the wall the moose's eyes were as brown as dirt and it antlers were as white as paper and as curvy as a vine. Its head was as big as my hand and its eyes stared at me like it could see everything I did. Suddenly I hear a huge “BANG” Up stairs...

Learning Goal Slide.

WALT: Set Learning Goals.

Kupu Hou

WALT: Use Our Reo Maori

I’m sleeping. Light shines on my face. It must be the sun. I slowly open my eyes.

I see the milky way it's green, blue and purple. I look up and I see a constellation of the jungle and my family. I am so happy and excited to go back home. I am wondering how much my brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews have grown. I hear asteroids shooting past. I feel sore from sitting here for 65 years. I hate being alone. For the past 65 years i've had the stars for company. Sometimes I feel like the stars are watching over me.

Finally I see earth in the distance. It looks a little bit different from when I left. I said to myself “Aww I can't wait to see everyone I'm so excited”. As I get closer and closer. I feel a rush of wind as my rocket hits the atmosphere it shakes  as if I was in a massive earthquake.

I thought about how my caretaker would feel about seeing me after 65 years. I'm so excited but so sad because I don't think I will be able to see space again.

All the planets, stars, milky way, and much more stuff. As I was enjoying the beautiful view my rocket had a rough landing it hurt and it gave me a fright.

The rocket door slowly opened and I quietly crept out. I can’t believe what I see…

I slowly take my helmet off, it was terrible I smelt smoke and tasted  dirt and dust There was no water to be found, no green grass, just concrete buildings and wooden buildings. I look down and I pick up a branch, I look at the trees all of them are dead. All the leaves have fallen off and they are dead too. I feel like I want to go back to space.

My heart belongs to space.
