Pobble365: The Shadow

Last Thursday and today I have been doing Pobble635 and I have been doing this one. 

Let me know if you want me to add more aka make a part 2.

                                                                       The Shadow

   If you look very carefully at night, as the mist disappears, the shadow still stands there, guarding his home. No one has ever seen him, only his shadow. His boat travels silently up and down the river every night. High in the tree, the door remains shut, lit only by a single light. No visitors are seen, no noises heard, only the slight creaking of the wooden path leading to and from the tree.

Then one night, everything changed. The shadow was gone and left in its place a humongous green like gooey slime monster. It had huge red-orange eyes, gigantic rotting teeth with feet the size of a 88inch flat screen tv. It came after him like a wrecking ball. He was in a chase, like the one in horror movies but the only difference is this time...it's real..

He was running though the woods, while the monster was wrecking trees, trying to find him.

(2 hours later)

He got tired and he gave up running. The monster stopped right next to him. ¨STAY AWAY FROM ME!¨ the boy yelled at the monster. ¨I-I´m sorry to freak you out.. I just wanted some friends... but I guess I´m too ugly for friends..¨ the monster replied. The boy felt sorry for the monster and said, ¨Y-you want to be friends with... ME? No one likes me, I´m just that weird kid people bully and throw their lunch at.¨ ¨I´m so sorry your getting bullied.¨ said the monster. ¨It´s okay. Do you want to be friends with me?¨ said the boy. The Monster then replied with ¨Of course, I would.¨ They then hugged.

(The Next Day)

The sun was shining in through a window onto their faces. The boy was the first to wake up. ¨Hey, sleepy head wake up.¨ Said the boy. The monster then woke up. ¨Wanna explore the woods more?¨ Said the boy. ¨...I don´t know..¨ Said the monster in a shaky voice.

¨Hey, are you okay?¨

¨Yeah, I guess.. It´s just...¨

¨Just what?¨

¨It´s just, I´ve never had anyone to hangout with and a lot of people don´t like me.¨ The Monster replied. ¨Oh that´s okay, we can do whatever you want.¨

¨Okay, we can explore the woods and then play. I have some fun stuff we can do after.¨

The monster and the boy went along. Through the woods, in and out of the rivers. They then found a humongous tree with swings, one big enough for the boy and the other big enough for the monster. They then walked over to the swings and started swinging on them. ¨I haven´t been on one of these in years.¨ Said the monster. ¨Really? cause same. I haven´t been on one since I was like 4.¨ Replied the boy.

(30mins later.)

They heard a big thud and twigs snapping in the distance. ¨D-did you hear that?¨ ¨Y-yeah,¨ Said the boy. They then hopped off the swings. Tip toeing quietly. They heard it again but louder. They saw an opening among the trees. They then walked over and looked through. In there was....

Olympic T-shirt

 One of our reading tasks was to make a t-shirt for the Olympics. I chose the kiwi because it's New Zealand's national bird, then I chose the New Zealand Olympic uniform because it looked cool and I chose the rings because it looks a bit better with them on.

What are the Paralympics?

For reading one of our tasks on our chart thing was to do research on the Paralympics.

What are the Paralympics?

Athletes with a variety of disabilities compete in the Paralympics, which are a periodic series of international multi-sport events involving athletes with a variety of disabilities such as limited muscle power, impaired passive range of motion, limb deficit, leg length difference, and so on.

Paralympic athletes compete in 6 different disability groups; amputee, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, spinal cord injuries, intellectual disabilities and ‘les autes’.

Paralympics started on 18th-25th september 1960 in Rome six days after the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. Since then, 2,860 gold medals have been awarded in the sport.

In 1962, an Auckland paraplegic competed in the British Commonwealth Paraplegic Games in Western Australia, marking New Zealand's first participation in disability sports.

In January 2007,  the New Zealand Paraplegic and Physically Disabled Federation was formed as the National Paralympics New Zealand. This was to gain greater public awareness and raise the profile of disability sport by focusing on its most prestigious event - the Paralympic Games.

Hitting The Target Re-tell

 Hitting the Target

Once there was a man who was 30 and a serial killer. He wore an all white mask. He would kidnap kids,teens and even young adults and tortured them before killing them in disturbing abandoned places. After he stabbed his 250th victim with a knife that had old blood stains, he wanted to do something else so he wasn’t a suspect. After about 10 minutes of thinking, he decided that he would do archery because he was good at shooting things. He then began training 24/7 and sometimes he would pass out like a rock hitting the hard concrete. After weeks or months he began to do competitions. After a few years, he was the best archer in the world. He won 15 big trophies and 10 golden medals for being the best.

A lot of people asked how he was good at archery. But he would always tell them with a smile, “Practice makes perfect.” 

One day, a man who was in his late 20´s wearing a black and white suit like a businessman, told him that “You’re not the best at archery and I know someone who is better than you!” The archer didn’t believe him and yelled,”No there’s not!” so the man took the archer to a farm. When they got there, they saw hundreds of humongous targets and a man. They went over to the man and the man's name was Jeffrey. The archer was shocked because all the arrows were in the exact center of the targets. The archer asked, “How do you shoot the arrow in the exact center?” Jeffrey replied with a smile, “Well, you do things your way and I do things my way.” The archer was so confused and asked, “What do you mean?” Jeffrey replied with, “Well, you see, I first shoot the arrow and then I paint on the target.” The archer was surprised and yelled at Jeffrey, “THATS CHEATING!”

The man that took the archer to Jeffrey had left. Now it was Jeffrey and the archer. The archer took Jeffrey by the shirt, and shoved him in the boot of his car. The archer then drove off to an abandoned place. By this time it was 2:37am. Jeffrey was so confused by what was happening. The archer then took Jeffrey out of the boot and tied him to  a chair. Jeffrey asked the archer, 

“What are you going to do to me? Kill me?

“Actually yeahh, I am. Any last words?” 

“Yea, the cops are 7 minutes away.” 

When the police got there, they saw the archer with a knife in his hand and a stab wound in Jeffrey’s chest. They yelled with their guns in their hands, “PUT YOUR HANDS UP!” But the archer didn’t...
