Labour day

Last week the year five and six Extension group learnt about Labour day. After we wrote down some things that we could make with the ingredients that we had to make pizza’s that describe what it is about.

Labour day was first celebrated in New Zealand 28th of October 1890. Labour day is a public holiday because of a carpenter named Samuel Parnells did not want to work more than eight hours a day. New Zealand is not the only country that celebrates Labour day there's countries like Canada,Bahamas,Australia,Jamaica,Trinidad and Tobago and also the United States Of America.

There is so much countries that celebrate so i hope you enjoys this movie.

Parrots whisper

Once there was a huntsman called Donald, Donald was a very scary man who would walk into the forest and all the animals would hear him breaking sticks and hide. Donald lived with his brother in a little house deep in the forest Donald would go outside and chop trees down. Him and his brother had made a farm outside their house because there wasn't that much food in the forest.

But one day Donald was outside chopping trees and suddenly heard a whisper he looked around but no one was there. He was yelling hello is anyone there!!! he heard the whisper again you better get out of the forest otherwise bad things will happen the whisper said.

Donald walked back to the little house to find his brother Donald said to his brother we have got to get out of here his brother said why Donald said because if we don't bad things will happen to us his brother said and where did you hear that from Donald come i'll show you. so they went back to the forest in the exact same spot where he was standing before and heard the whisper again saying i'll give you one last chance get out of the forest otherwise things will happen bad things. So donald and his brother ran all the way back to the house and grabbed all of there stuff and left the forest forever but the thing making the whisper was a parrot in the tree.  

Big Boys toys

Last week on Saturday to one of the most coolest most amazing place called Big Boys toys.

Big Boys toys me and dad arrived at Big Boys toys at 9:00 in the morning and had to wait outside ASB gates for one hour to be the first ones in. After waiting for one hour me and my dad finally got through the gates we walked in and walked straight to the cars outside of the building was a car with skulls everywhere on the car but when you walk further it got even better and neon lights everywhere which is glowing lights.

Then we went to different because we were waiting for the stunt show so we were looking at boats and and finally it was time for the stunt show. First was the cars where there was two professional drivers they were doing tricks with cars how hard would that be and at the end the car went on two wheels and there was a lady standing on the side of the car doing gymnastics. Then there were two motorbikes which would go up a ramp and land on this other dirt ramp where the motorcycle people would be doing backflips and stuff like that  

My stratiegies

My question

Whisper

Once there one of the most scariest farms that any man to walk in there would come out crying some people would say there were whispers but the owner of the farm was holding a competition.

the farmers name was Nate Nate put a live ad on tv on the ad he said the man who can walk into my farm and not come out crying will earn $500. There was a guy who was the scardest weakest man  named James who wanted to prove that he could get through it without crying the competition was five days away so before the competition he went to the farm.

So he had driven to the farm when he got there he wanted to hop straight back into his car and go home but he knew that he had to do this he walk into the farm and surprisingly enough there was nothing wrong with it. then he walked further into the farm and started to hear whispers and the whispers were telling he couldn't win the competition and that he was the weakest on earth ran out crying. Then thought to himself thats why people come crying out of that farm so he went home and went to sleep.

And on the four before the competition stayed in his crying saying that he wasn’t going to do go to it because he was tough enough to handle it. It was competition day and James didn’t want to do it because he was too scared and then his mum walked into the room and encouraged him to go and he jumped into his car and drove to the farm and walked into the farm and saw a curtain it was the owner Nate who was doing the whispers and James walked out tough.

Narrative Writting

Start writing below: Once there was Farmer named Dane. Dane thought he was the king at farmer and wanted to go Pro and to become Pro he had to travel to Australia where there was the world farming competition. Dane went there every year to try and get a win but every year he would lose to Morris but Dane did come second but this year he was going to win Dane lived in Kansas America so he went in his private jet all the way to Australia.

So Dane was off but Dane would always bring some family along with him this time he brought his cousin with him. Dane’s cousin was also a farmer but did not want to compete because he might lose and he didn't like losing. they were halfway across America when suddenly the jet was going down instead of up then the pilot said on the speaker were going down and Dane and his cousin were screaming the jet had slammed into the ground.

The pilot walked out with Dane and his cousin Dane said where are we? the jungle the pilot said Danes cousin said what are we going to do what are we going to eat Dane said its alright im a farmer im sure I can get us some food I mean it is the one of the most tropical places. So Dane and his cousin made a farm just outside of the jet where they were going to sleep. Dane,Danes cousin and the pilot were trying to make a SAVE US  sign in the trees some how it worked there was a helicopter that saw the sign and then came down and grabbed them they were saved and they lived happily ever after.

This is the picture that I was supposed to write about but involving something about farming
