How I Learn My Basic Facts

I learn my basic facts by using playing cards and flipping them over and adding the two numbers. I also learn my basic facts on XtraMaths at school. Sometimes I play games on Sumdog because it has questions about basic facts as well. I am proud because I am doing subtraction on XtraMath and I am nearly moving to multiplication level.

My Narrive

Late night

It was a late night, it was pouring down hard with rain. I was addicted to my video game called, “Call of Duty Black Ops”. The rule is to kill zombies as they pop up from the ground and stay alive for a lot of rounds. The higher the round gets, the more zombies. The Zombies look as if they have been torn apart by a great white shark. All I was looking at was the screen thinking my eyes will get sore but they didn't. Then I started to get tired but I tried not to fall asleep because I just reached round 25. Slowly my eyes started to close smaller and smaller because I was getting more tired so I just closed my eyes for a second but then I died. It was a waste of time so I lay on my bed thinking how to get back to round 25 .I had fallen asleep with the video game still on. All of a sudden I woke up at school.

It was weird waking up at school because I remember falling asleep at home but the weirdest thing was that huge dark clouds swallowed the earth. Another thing was that there zombies everywhere! I started to panic and scream for help but then I knew it was just useless. I quickly looked around for a place to hide so I went in to the office and locked all the doors. The first weapon I could find was a baseball bat with 5 inch nails jammed into the baseball bat coming out the other side. I sat there for hours crying that I will never find another human on earth. Then I had an idea, my friends Halatoa and Joshua said to me if there was a zombie apocalypse they would hide in pak n save because they said that they would never want to starve to death. So I started my walk to the nearest pak n save. which is in Glen Innes. It was very hard for me to get past a lot of zombies but I made it.

As I got there I could see that there weren't that much zombies around pak n save. I thought in my head that they got to be there so I broke down the wood of the doors then I heard a voice HEY! What are you doing I just nailed that door. I was shocked I just heard someone's voice, I ran to all the isles and found standing right there Halatoa and joshua. I was glad I have seen an human. They told me they have been there for about 5 hours just eating food and playing games. Somehow I started to get hungry so I ate some food. I told them that we can't stay here forever because more zombies are starting to get closer and if we don't do anything about it we will living like this and its not good like this.

So we all set off on some bikes we found out the back the back door. we decided to go to the city because we thought that it would be safer there than here. The trip was long it took a hour to get there, suddenly a huge explosion went off we heard zombies screaming but luckily it was on the other side. On our way there we find a Holden ute and look for something that can help us but when instead we find loads of guns and grenades. Halatoa, Joshua and I were happy that we found something to help us but at the same time we were scared because we might get shot if we use the gun incorrectly so we tried them by shooting an animal. I think we can get use to this. Then we put guns that we could carry into into three bags for each of us to carry.

We carried on riding our bikes when we heard a BOOM! Halatoa fell on the ground and saw a guy starting to run away then i knew that Halatoa had been shot. Joshua and I carried Halatoa to the nearest hospital. we found a big bandage and put it on Halatoa. He said that it was stinging him but it was helping him. After that he said he was all right. As I looked around I saw a man hiding behind the desk. I asked him if he was the man that shot Halatoa but he said he didn't and he said that he would  never shoot anyone because he is a scientist and I believed him. He also said that he had a cure bomb to cure the zombies but he said I had to plant it at the top of the Sky Tower but it was a time bomb and we had one hour. I said I would do it so we all went to the Sky Tower but there were too much zombies when we killed some of them they kept coming Halatoa, Joshua and I ran up the steps and there were zombies jumping around the stairs. They were hard to shoot with them jumping around we finally reached the top but there was zombies climbing the Sky Tower and breaking it down I jumped as the time just ran out and the bomb landed on the top. We did it, slowing all the zombies started to turn back to human when everything started to turn all white then I woke up at home and it was morning, ‘get ready for school’ said my mum. Then I thought about it and it was all just a dream.

This is my narrative about Zombies. I think I have used good adjectives in my story.

The Tamaki Area

The Tamaki area goes from Point England to Mount Wellington down to Panmure and along the Tamaki River. I live in Otahuhu and the Tamaki River goes along it. Portage Road is use to be important i the past because if people wanted to get to the other coast they would go through the Tamaki River and drag their boats through Portage Road to the other side and sail the rest of the way

Voice Thread

This is my voice thread about facts about the Tamaki River. Miss Paton made it for room 7. she went on a site called voicthread.com then every one had to say a fact about the Tamaki River from the past and present. Please listen to my comment about how portage road was used in the past.
