Alien Invasion

This Writing was influenced by the movie “Robot Overlords”!

The Survival 

 Humankind as we knew it was gone. It has been five years, since the aliens of Glomatron has taken over our world. The resistance of our’s are dying of hunger and thirst. We have no food to feed our young ones and our hunter’s haven’t been back for one week. Run!!! The Aliens ran and destroyed the camp site and cornered all our people, than random shots came from the forest “ BA BA BA” the shots came and went, we looked around to see that the aliens were dead on the ground.

 The Separation 

 We had found a new place to stay it's a big big warehouse, we drew our weapons as we walked into the warehouse, Next thing we know we were tied down onto poles bigger than a whole mini cooper. Guns to our heads and shouting “Who are you” we told them who we were and asked who they were, I call them “ THE RESISTANCE” we joined them because a team always wins. The shakes started, the ground shaked and the building that we were in broke down then I looked around to see myself separated.

 By Myself

 Day by Day I tried to find to a way to get to the other side it was too hard, I left to the police station which had been abandoned after the first attack from the Aliens.On the way there I saw a alien that was waiting for something to eat. At first I thought it was dead until it grabbed my leg, I kicked it off ran to the gun stack got the first gun that I saw and shot it. I found a big bag which I put rifles, shotguns and snipers into.

 The Alliance 

 I found an car which had been abandoned in a car park with food and drinks drove it until I found our group again, they hopped into the van we left into the forest where we found another camp with other people. They decided that we should make an alliance so we did. They were making a plan to enter the mothership of the alien’s so it would be over.

 Our freedom 

The plan was finalized, we chose the people who were going into the ship.We were inside when we saw people captured, locked behind bar, asking and shouting to be set free.We took the people with us to help. We left into the centre of the mothership with a bomb that tyreese( A Resistor) had built. Once the bomb was timed we noticed it had only one minute to until it exploded. we jump off the ship falling into water from high ground. We saw smoke as we came up, the ship had exploded and the people that were left were free.

As I live my life to the fullest these are the thing I want to do. During my live Journey there will be some up's and down's. These challenges will help me in my life Journey with God, Heaven, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Why should people Read?

  Why should people Read?

• It helps their memory to remember things
• It helps you get to your standards
• It can open up opportunities for you in the future

I was asked why is reading important so this is my story of why.

I think that reading is important because it can make you smarter, it gives you more entertainment and it can increase your memory because you remember the things that you read. Another reason why people of all ages should read is because when they read their book they get sucked into it and their book might push them to read another.

If I were you I would start reading because a lot of opportunities in your life included reading like being a Policeman or woman,Sports player,lawyer or a teacher. Living without reading could be very difficult because if you build something it could be dangerous because you haven't read the instructions.

Reading is a very important skill because it helps you with your vocabulary and because it plays a gigantic part in our education. These are the reasons why I think why reading is important to us in our lives.

Hehu Karaiti/Jesus Strand

 
WALT:Explain the meaning of the name Jesus; Identify from scripture!

Best Advertisement ever!!

 

LI:Identify the strategies used by the writers to persuade their viewer audience 

The purpose behind this advertisement, I believe is to make the audience think about how they can help others. While the advertisement has subtitles to support understanding, the meaning is very clear from the action of the man.

The man who gives, repeats the thing that he does everyday which all the people who he is helping have a change in them and has a change in himself.

When the man approached to give money again to the Lady and her daughter, he was shocked to see that her daughter wasn’t there, then hears and voice saying “Mom” the man looks over his shoulder and he see’s the little girl who asked for money in her school uniform then the man smiled and she smiled also.

Cadbury Cream Eggs

  
WALT:Identify the strategies used by the writers to persuade their viewer audience!

Cadbury Caramel Eggs:

The writer very cleverly uses the phrase ‘Don’t get caught’ in the beginning of advertisement and repeats the same phrase throughout the advertisement and ends the advertisement to maintain the audience's attention.

The author uses This little angel... ‘ to introduce this girl as an innocent child.

The writer says ‘‘People can’t resists the double coated creamy egg chocolate... ‘ because the fact it has double coated chocolate that makes the audience more engaged to their product.

he advertisement gives a sense of urgency to buy the product because the advertisement says that the chocolate is irresistible.

Square Skills-Maths!

Walt:Apply the formula to find the area and perimeter of given shapes.

40x2=80cm

60x2=120cm

80+120=200cm

I have to times the perimeter to have my area so...
40x60=2400cm

In this Investagation I had to use my multipulcation skills to find the area of this square.
