Comic Questions

1. What is the message in your story?

I think the meaning in my story is that you can’t always trust what you’ve been told and that not everyone tells the truth.  

2. What was your favourite part in the story and why?

My favorite part in the story would be the  part when he said “That is the only flag I believe”. It’s my favourite part because he isn’t afraid to speak up no matter what.

3. How did you feel about the ending to your story and why?

I feel that it suits the story and that it’s finished it up well.

4. Why do you think people write comics?

I thinks it’s a different way of writing a story and expressing themselve.

5. If you could change one thing about your comic what would it be and why?

The only thing I would change would be that Don lives.

My Holidays: What I did in my holidays

On the first weekend  of the school holidays we celebrated Emma's birthday with her. We went to 10 pin bowling in Sky City. I won 1 game then lost the other game. After we had finished bowling we went to the escape rooms. We almost got out but we stuffed up the code. After we had finished we  went back to Emma's house. We had dinner, had a spa and watched a movie. It was a really good day.

Thames Gymsports Festival

On Thursday the 29th of June, a group of students years 4-8 from Ngatea Primary School attended the Thames Gymsport festival. There were three levels of difficulty for the Gymnastics Competition: Twisters (Hard), Flyers (Medium) and Springers (Beginners). Our school did very well in the gymnastics area of the competition with some students placing in the top six for their age and level of difficulty. Two groups of year 7&8 students entered into the cheerleading category. The two groups were called the NPS Minnies and the NPS All Stars. Both of the groups placed in the top two. The NPS Minnies came first and the NPS All Stars came second. Both groups have qualified to go to the Gym Sport Regionals held in Hamilton in August. Throughout the the day many of the NPS students were spotted showing a great attitude and sportsmanship and received a spot prize for this. We all thought it was an amazing experience and was a great opportunity to try something new and exciting!

Super Tayla has hair as golden as the sun. Her green eyes sparkle like green stone. Her fiery red cape waves in the air like it is saying hello. Her yellow boots are as yellow as a sunflower on a summer's day. She has a red t-shirt that reflects of the ocean as she flys over. And her blue pants dazzle through the night. Her favourite food is sushi and drink is sparkling lemonade, and last but not least she loves to look naughty villains in jail.

Current events:Fonterra stands down heavy truckies

Fonterra has had to stand down all their truck drivers above a certain weight.

 The company learned from a question that truck seats are only safe for people who way under 150 kilograms.
Fonterra had to stand down about 50 people.

Source: Kiwi Kids News

2 Words 

Fonterra:

Is a New Zealand multinational dairy co-operative 

Stand down: 

Withdraw or resign from a position. 

My opinion: I think this really sucks for the truck drivers because they have to lose weight just so they can go back to doing their job, but I think it is better for Fonterra to do this so that their drivers safety isn't at risk.

Highwayman

	Definition	Example from the poem	How effective do you think it was? Did you like it?
Simile	A way of speech involving a comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind.	His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like moldy hay,	I loved this simile the way the author wrote it. I think it really describes the Highwayman.
Metaphor	A figure of speech in which a word or phrase is compared to an object or action to which it is not possible.	The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,	I think that this is a good metaphor. It is really interesting.
Alliteration	The same letter or sound at the beginning of closely connected words.	Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark inn-yard,	I think this is a good alliteration. It keeps you hooked in for the rest of the poem.
Repetition	The action of repeating that has already been written or said	The highwayman came riding-- Riding--riding--	I think this one is smart. It continues on and on. It sound good when it is in the poem too.
Symbolism	An artistic and poetic way or style using images or words to express emotions etc	Down the ribbon of moonlight, over the brow of the hill,	I think this is a great example because the words just gel well together and get you really hooked.
