Allie And The River

Allie And The River

There once was an intelligent fox called Allie who had a sister called Lola

who loved to hunt. They lived with their Mum in a hole in the ground. They

had a big river next to their home. 

“Hey give back my green rock Allie!” said Lola. “I’ll give it to you once you

give back my purple rock,” said Allie. “Fine” said Lola in a bored voice

handing over Allie’s purple rock. “Thank you,” said Allie. “Allie, Lola dinner!”

said Allie’s Mum. “I went out hunting early and got three big Raccoons” said

Allie’s Mum. “Thanks Mum” said Lola. 

After dinner Lola and Allie went to bed early because of how windy it was

outside. It was past midnight when Allie woke up.

“Hu,” said Allie sleepy. 

Allie walked out of her hole sleepy without looking where she was going.

Allie was now out in the open. Allie’s home was three tails long away from

her now. 

“Hu” said Allie. 

Allie eyes were now focused. Just at that moment Allie stumbled into the

river. There was a loud splash. 

“Ahhh...HELP HELP” said Allie loudly. 

Allie could only just see her Mum jumping out of her home until Allie went

down a small waterfall with a big splash. The water was as cold as ice. 

Allie gave a big jump out of the river and tumbled on the ground. 

“Ow” said Allie with a cry. Out of nowhere Allie’s Mum jumped right next to

Allie. 

“Are you alright Allie?,” said Allie’s Mum. “Yes,” said Allie. “Are you sure?,”

said Allies Mum. “Your tail looks really saw”. Allie got up. “Can you carry me

home please?” said Allie. “Okay then hop on” said Allie’s Mum. 

Allie hopped onto her Mum. Allie’s Mum jumped up onto a tree and then

jumped off right next to the small waterfall that Allie fell down. After like a

minute of walking, Allies Mum finally got back home. Allie limped into the

hole and went back to sleep. 

In the morning after breakfast, Allie told Lola what happened last night. “Did

you really go in the river?” said Lola. “It’s freezing there”. “Yes I did” said Allie.

“Why did you even go in the river?” said Lola with a laugh. Allie looked at her.

“Lola it was dark,”said Allie. “Let’s go hunt some hamsters,” said Lola hungrily

changing the subject. “You're always hungry,” said Allie. “Come on,” said Lola.

“Fine” said Allie laughing. 

While Allie and Lola were hunting there was a big thud by a tree nearby.

Allie raced to see what the noise was. There was a big yowl behind a tree

in front of Allie. “H...hello anyone there.” said Allie nervously. There was no

answer. “Hello…” said Allie again. “Can you help me?” said a quiet voice.

Allie went around the other side of the tree and saw a red little fox lying there

looking up at her. “Are you alright?” said Allie. “Not really” said the little fox.

“Well I think I’m alright now” said the fox. “I got to go now bye…” said the fox.

“Wait, don't go,” said Allie. But the fox was already gone. “What's up?” said

Lola quickly. “Ahh… nothing,” said Allie. “I heard you talking,” said Lola.

“Behind this tree”. “I...I was talking to myself,” said Allie. “But I saw a fox

running out from behind this tree,” said Lola. “Umm… that was a friend I met

a week ago” said Allie. “Okay” said Lola. “Lets head back home”. 

Allie said nothing on the way back. 

Once they got back home their mother was waiting for them, with fresh Opossums. “How was hunting?” said Allies mum. “It was great,” said Lola happily. “I got five hamsters, one squirrel, three birds and a few berries for dinner. “Great,” said Allies Mum. “What about you Allie?” said Allies Mum. “I got one mouse,” said Allie with a sigh. “I wasn't in the mood for hunting anyway”. “Okay then” said Allies Mum with a sigh. TO BE CONTINUED...For Allie into Mystorya.

My Holidays

25/9/20

Since Keilahs Mum, Lase, had to go to her brother's house to put a tv on the

wall, we had to walk to Keilah’s house, well we wanted to anyway. On the way

Teagan had to go to her house so she could get changed and get her tablet

and stuff. Once Keilah and I had got to the house Keilah and I went to

Keilahs room to get changed. 

While Keilah and I were getting changed Teagan knocked on the front door.

Keilah and I were softly screaming as if we were frightened even though we

were not. Teagan came into the house and into the room.

Later on we had popcorn from Teagans house. We had to eat it outside so

that we didn't get any on the ground. When we were finished we went crazy

on the trampoline.

Later on Keilah’s, Mum, Lase, told us that Paige was coming for the

sleepover. Keilah and I keep thinking of her as our “unexpected guest”.

Anyway when Paige came we all went on the top bunk of the bunk bed and

went on devices. Teagan was playing on her ipad, Keilah was playing on her

chromebook, Paige was also playing on her chromebook and I had nothing.

Lucky Paige let me play on her tablet. 

Eventually Lase came into the room and told us that we need to get off

devices. She also said that we can go to the park till it was time for dinner.

So we did. 

At the park we played on the spinning cactus most of the time (The spinning

cactus is a thing that is shaped like a cactus but with handles on the sides

also it spins very fast if you push very hard on the ground). We were at the

park for around fifteen minutes.

On the way back to Keilah’s hous\e Teagan had to do something so she just

well, ran off. Paige, Keilah and I were going past Keilah’s Uncles house, when

Lase was by the window telling us to come in and look at the new tv. We came

in and saw the tv, it was HUGEEEEEE. Then Keilah asked if we could go into

the room full of boxes (Box Land). 

For dinner we had little mince pies. I ate most of them. After that we had

ICE CREAM!!! 

After having ICE CREAM we watch the movie Dr Dolittle the 2020 one. I

was the only one that has already watched it. 

Later on we went to bed. I was sleeping with Paige on the top bunk while

Teagan and Keilah at the bottom. The ground was covered in sheets and

stuff. So me and Keilah decided to sleep on the floor instead. It actually

was really comfortable. We both had a sheet on us with a blanket on top

of that. Keilah and I were still awake when Pagie and Teagan went to sleep.

So Keilah and I were being creepy by staring at Paige and Teagan in their

sleep. Eventually we went to sleep.

THE ADVENTURES OF A FLY Part 1

 THE ADVENTURES OF A FLY

There once was a fly called Juke who loved to eat poop cause every fly loves poop anyway. Now Juke loved swimming in toilets. One day Juke went swimming in a toilet, until a big bum came down and sat on the toilet and did a big poop. The poo came down as fast as a rocket ship. Then there was a flush and Juke went down the toilet with the poop. “AHHHHHHHHH” screamed Juke. 

While Juke was going down watery pipes, he could see other flies stuck on the walls dead. “OHH MY GOSH” yelled Juke. Juke went down then up then down again, he then went left then right then down. Juke screamed with fear then he saw a horse for no reason at all. 

After going up, down, left and right the pipes finally went into a straight line. “What the heck just happened?” said Juke, surprised and freaked out. In the distance Juke could see light. “Yay light” said Juke. Just as he said that he fell down into a huge pit with pipes sticking out. “This must be where all the pipes from toilets go,” said Juke. “YUM”. Juke went all the way to the bottom of the pit. At the bottom of the pit was a small tunnel. Juke went through it still in the water. As Juke went through the tunnel, the tunnel got bigger and bigger the further Juke went. The tunnel had gotten so big that a full grown elephant could fit in it. The water keeped on dragging Juke along with it. That's when Juke’s eyes went blank. 

Juke woke up, thinking that just what happened was a dream but really it wasn't. “Wow what a dream” said Juke. “Oh wait that wasn't a dream, that was real” remembered Juke. Just then a big fat horse eating burgers appeared out of nowhere. “Hi,'' said the horse with food in it’s mouth, then disappeared. “What the heck was that?” said Juke. “What a way to wake up”.

When the dog left the cat moved the mat and the cat was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo flat.

Today Mum, Dad, Lotte, Rhys, Possum the dog and I went to the bach. Our bach will be finished soon. We already have some handmade bunk beds and a pool table in the other half of the bach. Today we moved in a big cabinet into the second part of the bach that we're working on. There were two separate parts. Mum and Dad had to move the cabinet because it’s really heavy. After moving it in place Lotte, Rhys and I started playing with it like going inside it and doing a magic trick. While doing this Dad called me to help him on making some stairs for where the doors are. After making the first one we were thinking of staining them so we did. After staining the one that I made with Dad I went and stained a little under one of the sliding doors with Mum. After that I helped Rhys stain some of the stairs that he made with dad. Then I stained another stair. 

After staining some stairs I went inside and did a puzzle with Mum and Lotte. Lotte then stopped helping with the puzzle. Mum and I got a lot of things done on the puzzle. After a long time we then left the bach and headed home. 

25.3.20

Today Rhys and I did some baking. We baked muffins. Mum helped a bit. This was the first time I have made baking without mum. After making the muffins we put them in the oven. After cooking we had to wait two or three minutes to eat them. They tasted really good.They keeped falling apart a bit though. The muffins were meant to be apple muffins but we didn't have enough apples so we had to do pears.

26.3.20

Today Rhys did a lego competition. He first made a rollercoaster, then a spaceship and tomorrow he will build a house. 

For lunch mum made us some sconces. 

Before dinner mum gave us a colouring competition. It took me awael to eat my dinner because I was clouring at the same time.

In the afternoon we watched a movie called How To Train Your Dragon 2. It was an awesome movie but a bit sad. I would like to see How To Train Your Dragon 3 because it sounds like a cool movie. 

27.3.20

Today we watched How To Train A Dragon 2 again. Near the end of the movie Mum said to go on a walk so we did. 

We walked from our driveway to Hayleys driveway. On the way down my driveway I said to Mum to run down so we did. I was nearly there but then I had to slow down because I had a bad stitch. Then Mum got a head of me but then I only just bet her in the end.

When I got inside Lotte and Rhys were watching How To Train A Dragon 3! I told them to rewind it to the start so they did. It was a really cool movie. It was sad at some points too. 

28.3.20

Today Mum, Rhys and I stacked wood in the wood shed. It was really hard and difficult to do. Lotte didn't help at all but dad came down to check on us.

30.3.20

Today we went to town. We came to town to go to the runoff but first we went to farmlands to get Rhys some gumboots and me some overalls. Before going to farmlands Mum had to ring them because we can’t go into farmlands. The people that worked at farmlands had to drop off the stuff we ordered in front of farmlands with a number that says 3. After picking up the stuff at farmlands we then went to the runoff and drenched the calfs. 

20.4.20

Today I had to go to the runoff with Dad in Kaiata. When we got there some had got out, but we fixed it. We had to spread out hayballs in the paddock that the cows were meant to be in. We then opened up one of the fences that the cows broke through.

5.5.20

Today Rhys and I made Chocolate Brownies Mum had to help a bit thought. When we finished we got to put icing sugar on. They tasted really nice.

Today we also went on the farm with Dad to weigh crops. It was fun and interesting. We had to throw a hoop and then find where it went. Once we found it. Dad would pull out all the green bold turnips that were in the hoop and put them in a bag. 

6.5.20

Today after the afternoon hangout with Mr Fogarty, Hayley and I got some face time on the computer. Mum and Andrea said that Hayley and I can both make cupcakes. It was annoying that we had to keep moving the computer so that Hayley could see me. Lotte keeped getting in the way while I was trying to talk to Hayley. It was also annoying when Hayley kept glitching out. I had to use Mum's computer. When Hayley and I put our cupcakes in the oven. We just sat down and talked to each other until the cupcakes were ready. We then made icing. Hayley made green icing and I made pink icing. I wanted purple icing but there was no blue. Red and blue make purple. When I put red in it, it made pink. Hayley just used a knife to put the icing on. I used a piping bag. After putting on icing I then put on some white pink and yellow sprinkles and stuff like that on the cupcakes. After that we then got photos.

3 eggs

1 1/4 cups caster sugar

1 tsp vanilla essence

The Long Weekend

The Weekend

On Friday Andrea decided that we should have an Anzac thing down where a bus stop is. We did it Saturday morning. We had to get up really early. Mum opened the door to the car so that everyone could hear the radio. At some point we had to stand in silence. We then put the poppies that we made on a big rock, and left them there except for Lotte. We also got photos. 

On Sunday Dad and I went down to the workshop. We made a sign for our bach. The sign said LITTLEWOOD which is named after my great grandparents house. When Dad was carving out the letters I wanted to carve out a J for my name. So Dad got out some wood and let me carve J on it. While doing that I cut my hand with the chizzel. It didn't really hurt. 

The next day Dad, Lotte, Rhys and I all went down to the workshed. While I was still fixing up my J Lotte and Rhys wanted to do it too so they did. Rhys was just making lines of stuff. Rhys also made a J but the other way around. He then made a L, M, D, R and a J but the other way around. Lotte didn’t know what to carve so she did a square. 

When I finished some of my J I heard a cry coming from behind me. It was Lotte. She had blood coming down her fingers as I told Rhys to find Dad to help Lotte. I didn’t know what happend at first, I thought she either cut herself with the chizzel or hammered her finger. Later on Lotte came back with lots of blood on her hand.

When I got home I told Mum that Lotte had hurt her hand. I asked Lotte what happened, she said that she cut herself with the chizzel.

Summer Learning Journey Week 4 Day 5 Last Day

YA HO!!! MY FINAL DAY! YA HO!!!
Day 5: DANCING QUEENS

Activity 1: The World of Hip Hop
What I like about the performance is that they have a good talent. What they did well on is how they did their performance at the same time. They should work on new moves because some of them did the same move a few times. Their dance was pretty amazing to look at. Their dancers must have a good memory because they all know what their doing and that's great. Their costumes look so cool! Because the colour is perfect for the performance. The music is very interesting. What I didn't really like is some parts are really weird to me. They should improve by doing more moves.

Activity 2: En Pointe

Activity 3: Concluding the Journey
It sad that the Summer Learning Journey has come to an end but it will be on at the end of every year which is great. The Activity I enjoyed the most was the one on Day 2 Week 3 on Activity 1 because I loved to look at the picture it really amazed me. The one I enjoyed the Least is Day 5 Week 2 Activity 1 because I don't know how to share my video to public on my blog.
The 3 things that I have learned during the SLJ is that Mr Mandela tried to change the law and that he was sent to prison I did not know that. I learned that there was a girl called Yusra Mardini who saved lots of lives by pulling a boat with her sisters to saftey when the motor of the boat broke down. The last thing I Learned was that Sachin Tendulkar is now a retired cricket player. 
Next year I will put the questions down to so that when other people read it they will know what I'm talking about. I was wondering if we could have less Activitys because it takes up your holiday and you need a bit of you time.

I would Just like to say that I have enjoyed the SLJ and I can't wait to finish next year. I love every comment I get from everybody. This year my friend Hayley is doing it and she has done very well I enjoy looking on her blog.

Summer Learning Journey

Summer Learning Journey Week 4 Day 4

Day 4: ARTY DESIGNERS

Activity 1: Fashion forward

Twenty-Seven Names is a good name for their brand because it makes them remember those who helped. I think they keep their brand name because it is a good name.

Activity 2: Try Your Own Tapa

My design on my Tapa is the weather because the weather is always on and never ends. Also the weather design reminds me when it rains in the west coast it rains a lot and It's summer at the moment. Also these things are important to food like on farms so the grass can grow and plants can grow also for you vegetable gardens.

Activity 3: Top Secret Street Art

What is similarities is that the are both things that can be alive. The differences is that the top one is got pattens and the bottom one does not have pattens.

Summer Learning Journey Week 4 Day 3

Day 3: Screen Legends

Activity 1: Talk Show Host
I would continue with my studies because so I can get all the info I need for things. After it's been a while I will be learning to be a vet.

Activity 2: Plot Points
If I could make a movie it would be about Jagers and your parable wonder what Jagers are well their characters that I have made. I would use them for my movie because they are cool characters. My main Characters are the good and bad ones. The good queen goes on an adventure to search for the missing Jugers. The Jugers look like dogs. The movie is called THE ADVENTURE OF THE JUGERS. The main events that happen is Christal the good Jager goes on a big and hard ADVENTURE and the good and bad Jager followed Christal and her name is Zoe. Zack the bad Jager is in Love with Christal so he followers her too. Then Christal, Zoe and Zack go on the adventure together. I have no idea what a storyboard is but that's ok.

Activity 3: Feast or Famine
I would not participate in 20 or 40 Hour Famine because my mum doesn't really let me do it. But I could do it but I just can't. I just don't want to do it really. It's hard to explain.
