The Killer Clown

For literacy we had to do a practice our e-asttle on a prompt, I heard a whisper but nothing was there. This is my practice story, please give me feedback so I can prepare for my actual test. Enjoy!!!

My Story

One day there were 3 boys in the basement,  Lucas, the leader and the brave one and the one that owns the basement, so his house, Liam, the shy and nervous one and Will, the loud and outrageous one. The boys were just watching movies like normal teens until Lucas’s mum wakes up hearing them up at 4:00 am watching movies. So the boys are made to go for a bike ride where ever the road takes them. The boys decide to go to the park across the street. “Let’s go in that shed and see what’s in there” Lucas exclaimed. “Sure, what’s the worst that could happen”.

The boys pull out their flashlights and sneak around in case someone is there. With the wind blowing across their ears, Liam hears a laugh from one of the horror movies they were watching. “Did you guys hear that laugh. I think it came from in that locked door you know, with the crowbar beside it. I think we should leave and go somewhere else” Liam told the other 2.
“Nah, let’s see what is inside,” Lucas said with pride. Lucas grabs the crowbar and smashes open the door. It wasn’t the nicest room ever, but it was in a creepy shed.

“Look, it’s a clown mask,” Will said, pointing at the mask.
“There is also guns and knives in this closet” Lucas examined, “I think whoever hid this, doesn’t want us here and find all of this stuff” Suddenly, a balloon rises from the sewer in the gutter outside, the boys shine the flashlight and there is a clown, waiting for us to see him.

“Ruuunnnnn” Liam screamed. The boys gapped it out of the creepy shed trying to outrun the killer clown. Lucas has a quick look behind him while the sun rises upon the youngsters. The clown turns around and vanishes back into the cold darkness of evil. “I think that clown was looking for this” while Will is pulling the clown mask out of his pocket.
“You seriously took the mask from out of the room, but thankfully you did because we need to find out what it can do.

“We can test it out tomorrow but for now, we should head home and tell our parents but keep the mask at my house. My bedroom in the basement is way more hidden than your guy’s house” Lucas told them. Will hands the mask to Lucas and the kids jump on their bikes and head home. But later that night the clown appears from Lucas’s bedroom/basement scouting for the mask.

The clown smashes through the window and wakes Lucas up. Lucas grabs the mask and puts it on before the clown can grab it. Abruptly, the clown starts to get sucked into the mask, but with the knife in his hand, he tries to stab the knife into Lucas but the mask gave him balls of steel, so the knife bounces of him and the clown starts saying to Lucas “soon an army will come for that mask and then all the children in the world will bowl down at the clowns feet” the clown says trying to scare him but again, he is the brave one, nothing scares him. The clown fully gets sucked into the mask and Lucas rips the mask of his very head.

He calls Liam and William to come over and together they call the police and they investigate the shed while the 3 BFFs put the mask in a woodchipper and “terrifying” clown returns. The cops didn’t find anything but illegal guns and knives. The End!!!!

Swamp Media

For inquiry, we have been learning about media. We have 4r groups, tv, press, online and radio. I was on tv but I couldn't get the video, so here is the Swamp Media website. Swamp Media.

Maths With Remainders

For maths in Shosborn math, we have been learning about short division with remainders. We had to create something to explain division with remainders. This is mine and Skylah's slide. Enjoy!!!!!

Wearable Arts

For inquiry, we have been learning about waste and recycling plastic. I did a Maori costume that I did with Kobe and Riley. This is our speech.

Did you know that it takes 200 years for just one straw to break down, just one?
What will you do now if you go to a restaurant and they give you a straw with a glass? You don’t even need it, you can just drink out of the glass!
Straws are an unnecessary part of society.
Businesses are starting to make a change. McDonald’s, New World and Countdown are all doing their bit to reduce the waste.

The Maori have a strong connection to our land, they call it Kaitiakitanga. It was their duty to protect and keep the land healthy and prosperous.

Our art piece represents the Maori connection to the land, showing the traditional dress of a piupiu, but made with straws. The ‘waste’ band is made of single-use plastic bags.

Lots of places are realizing that if we do a little thing, it will make a big difference in the environment.
What little thing will you do?

Geometry Evidence

For term one math we have been learning about geometry. Here is a slide about geometry.

Themes and Narratives

Hello Readers,

For literacy, we have been learning about finding themes in stories. Here is a presentation of themes in stories.
