Pourquoi tales

This is my writing that I have wrote it is my made up story about how the elephant got it's trunk. It was a bit of a challenging task but I did it. It is a pourquoi tale an I hope you like it.

How The Elephant Got It’s Trunk

On one fine day in beautiful jungle there was this one big of a animal who had humongous and enormous, ear’s, 4 legs and body. It was called an elephant, but the one thing is that the elephant struggled to eat, smell, touch and breath cause he had an tiny nose. The jungle thought that elephant is so lucky to be humongous and to be one of the biggest animals in the jungle. But as they didn’t know the elephant wasn’t happy for what he was, he just wanted to be as the same as the rest of the animals in the jungle to smell, eat, touch and breathe properly.

But that wasn’t possible for him. He went up to the giraffe and asked how did your neck grow that long but giraffe just ignored him and carried on. Then he went up to the frog and asked how does your tongue go so long, but the frog just bounced away. The elephant wondered and wondered, hoping for something to happen to him to help him one day.

Later on the day the elephant decided to go for a walk as he was walking a snake bit his nose, the elephant tried as hard as he could to pull away but the snake just kept his long body wrapped around the branch as he kept hold of the poor elephant’s nose. The elephant tried to speak but started to lose his breath and as more as he tried to pull the longer his nose stretched. He could just say one last word out loud and he shouted out loud HELP.

Lucky near by him was giraffe who was picking apples from the high tree’s. Giraffe ran to see what was going on when he saw elephant trying to escaped from the foolish and careless snake. Giraffe wrapped his long neck around elephant and pulled. The Snake ran off and as soon as the elephant was released he could breathe like never before. He was shocked that he had a long nose that was soon to be called a trunk.

The elephant was joyful and glad he could do a lot of things with his trunk as he couldn't do before. The Elephant is very happy for who he is, and is thankful that snake and the giraffe has helped him out, even though the Snake was very foolish.

Mr Patterson & Raenan

Today we had an inspiring talk from Mr Patterson and Raenan. They came today to speak to us year seven and eights about stuff like you choose your decisions and setting your goals and more. The thing that inspired me the most was to take advantage of the opportunities. Raenan talked about himself and how he had a goal to be head boy at Tamaki College and he is deputy head boy for 2018. When he talked about take advantage of the opportunities, it means to take opportunities that you have now before you don't have it. We learned a lot from Mr Patterson and Raenan and take what we learned with them where we go.

The Gingerbread's

The Gingerbread's

Once upon a time there was a young couple who lived in a little cottage in a little farm.It was only them two and the animals that lived there. As the young man was working he was hungry so he asked his wife can you make me a Gingerbread Man.

So the lady made gingerbread, she made a batch of gingerbread dough, then rolled it flat and cut it in a shape of a Gingerbread Man, the lady could smell the gingerbread and that made her hungry, so she made a Gingerbread Lady for her. As the young lady opened the oven door to check if the gingerbread's were ready she forgot to get her oven gloves that was on the table. So she went to get it and forgot to close the oven door.

So then the gingerbread man whispered to the gingerbread lady do you want to go I don’t want to be eaten. Then the gingerbread’s jumped out of the oven and ran but the lady saw them. Then she went after them and the gingerbread man and lady said you can’t catch us we are the gingerbread's. The gingerbread's ran discreetly through the garden and past the man. The man said to STOP I want to eat you and the gingerbread's said no we are too fast.

So then the man chased after them and the gingerbread's ran even faster then they ran passed the pig. Stop, the pig snorted , I want to eat you. But the gingerbread's ran even faster. Then the pig chased after the gingerbread’s. The gingerbread's were trapped, they thought should we go by the trees or run. Then the gingerbread man pondered the question which way to go.

So they made a discreet decision to go through the trees and hide their unit they are all gone. They were hiding in the trees trying not to make a noise. But then gingerbread lady saw a bug on her and blurted out loud I don’t want to hide in the trees let's go somewhere else. Suddenly the man heard and said go through the trees. The gingerbread's ran for their lives like if it was the end of the world. As they were running they found this big pile of hay and went in there unit they hear nothing.

The man, lady and animals were to tired of looking so they just decided to go back home. So the gingerbread's ran away as far as they could and lived there.

A + I = M talk from Mr Patterson

Today we had an inspiring talk from Mr Patterson. Mr Patterson came to talk to the year 7 & 8's about A + I = M and that means aspiration, inspiration and motivation. First he talked about what you want to do and dream of. Then he talked about who inspires you. But the thing I liked about the talk and what I am going to take with me is to be a giver and have the ability to notice an act. He talked to us about this 11 year old boy called Willy who was a giver and gave his lunch and money to this homeless man for two weeks. Now the homeless man has a job and home and that I know now that I would like to be a giver.
