Extension Reflection 2020.

Well this year has sure been an amazing year and also a tragic year for most of us. but besides all that it has been a fun 2020. but to be honest I'm glad to leave 2020 and carry on my journey in 2021!. although my goal next year is to get a prize award, I want to be able to take any opportunities that can take me higher. Next is Extension,  Extension has been fun and tiring but all I know is that I've done all I can and I will be even better next year.

Also even though New Zealand has been through two lockdowns, I am proud to say I made it through this year finishing hard with a big smile and excitement waiting for next year. Also a special thanks to all the people who have helped me through the year. I love you!

My Recount about the Holiday.

  To be honest this story is about absolutely nothing. Like it is! I don’t why you're still reading but like it is. But like i mean if you really wanna find out your gonna have to keep reading.

“Well you came” well so this story is about me in my bed sleeping,eating, playing video games but like i mean that's boring. Who wants to read that. Well maybe yeah or not you might want to read my story but i'm telling you, you maybe think i might have had a boring holiday and it’s probably true but mine was alright. Cause for hours i would play the game or watch movies all day with the curtains closed and not seeing a glance of sun the whole day and even being lazy to get food.

Later that day i thought to myself “you know what i’m gonna get up make me some breakfast, make my bed, clean the house and turn off the game”. I mean it was a thought so I mean it never happened. Unless I was screamed at or beaten to clean the house but surprisingly I wasn't. Why? Well it was because I was left all alone. “yup all alone, it was very sad. '' Dad and mum left to work, my baby brother and sister went to daycare and I was left to rot in my room and die.

But you know I played with my friends on the game but they weren’t as fun as when we played  at school cause we normally play touch or tell jokes and laugh all day. But in the game it isn't like that it’s more like “revive me! Revive me!” then at school it’s like “it’s all good we will score the next try” (pats me on the back) “pup pup”.  But you know I'm grateful to have this holiday to take a break from work and from waking up early in the morning and getting ready for school.

Although my holiday was cool and chill and boring and sad, I felt good. “Hehe”

Black Caiman Writing.

In the leaves I stood there staring as the baby caimans hatch out of their eggs uniting with their mother. As I watch them hatch they cry for their mother. As I listened I could hear the splashes of the water hitting against the shore. Few seconds later the mother had appeared and left with her baby caimans.

As the baby caimans and their mother had made their way to the water they took a dive to look for their food because they couldn't feed the baby caimans. Well the baby caimans were looking for their food the mother was looking for.

After they had finished searching the sea and have eaten their food it was time for them to head back into the leaves in the forest of trees surrounding them with shelter. Soon as they got there they laid themselves in the leaves and slept for the day.

A king cobra writing

Along the grass the snake slid upon, the lisp of its mouth with its tongue sticking out. The snake raised upon the grass staring into my eyes “tssss!” The snake striked me. it sped upon my face giving me enough time to put my head back without the mouth near my face.

Few min later the cobra had calmed down with its body swerving through the grass as smooth as silk. The body of the cobra is amazing as I crawl slowly to take a closer look. The body rises and spreads its gills making its body huge!.

As I slowly crawl back I retrieve with such gladness as if the cobra had not bite me. Moments later it was time for the King Cobra to go back to its home. As i slowly pick it up i gently put the cobra in its box as i closed it i said. “Night Night”
