Story Starters: The Mysterious Gift

The Mysterious Gift.

WALT: use powerful vocabulary to make our writing more interesting.

 

Topic Audience Purpose
This Topic is about a girl named Maria discovering a mysterious gift. Family, friends, teachers and anyone looking at my blog. This purpose is to give imagination to people in the story I’m gonna write.

 

Title of story: 

(Insert Picture) (Insert Story Starter)

As Maria placed the last ornament on the Christmas tree, she noticed a small, perfectly wrapped gift sitting on the windowsill. It wasn’t there before, and no one in her family knew where it came from. The tag simply read, “To the one who believes…”

 

………. as Maria looked at the tag confused but curious, she opened the present without awareness or caution as if she had no care. When Maria finished unwrapping the cover off the present, she found a normal looking box that had plain writing on it which said “ For the one who believes”. Maria found this peculiar, for she did not know what the writing meant. She continued and went back to opening the box but she found out it was locked by seeing there was a keyhole. She began trying to force open the box until she heard a noise from the fireplace. Maria went to investigate where that noise was from until she saw from the top through the hole in the chimney a big man with red and white all over him.

 

Seeing that he was going to jump down from the chimney, Maria quickly backed up far enough from the fireplace so that she would be safe. When the man came down, a huge puff of smoke fanned out everywhere in the living room from the burnt charcoal. Looking around to see what came down from the chimney, she saw a tall, big figure in front of her. She was struggling to see who it was until the smoke cleared. Recognizing that look it was Santa! “ Merry Christmas Maria! “ shouted Santa.  Remembering the present, Maria asked Santa why was that box here. “ Oh, it was for you! “ answered Santa. “ Why did the tag and writing say to the believer then? “.  “ Oh! It’s because when you were ten years old people wouldn’t believe I existed but you still had belief in me “ Santa replied. 

 

“How come you came then?” she questioned curiously. Then Santa handed her a rusty looking key, she grabbed the key then put it in the keyhole and when it unlocked she opened the box to find a book with empty pages. “ What’s this? “ she objected. “ Wait for it “ said Santa. Then lots of photos of her & her family came out, she let out a tiny tear because her family members passed and they meant a lot to her. She hugged Santa and thanked him. Then Santa went on his way back to the North Pole and on his way back Maria was waving back to Santa.

 

THE END………….

Task Description: In this story I wrote about a girl named Maria investigating a Mysterious Gift that ended up under her tree. She finds out something truly magic is in the present with the help of Santa…….

William & Myu San Term 4 Inqury Experiment: Paper Plane ( Scientific Method )

Task Description: Hello my name is William Kaufusi and this Term I have been studying and learning all about the Forces of Flight. Me and my buddy Myu San, have put together a Experimental Project about the paper aeroplanes we made and the results.Me and Myu San had so much fun creating, testing and sharing ideas with each other on this Project on paper planes. So we hope you enjoy what we went through.

Please leave a positive blog comment on both me and Myu San’s blog. Thank you.

William Research Task: Forces of Flight

Task Description: In Team we have been talking and experimenting the Forces of Flight including: Thrust, Lift, Drag and Weight. We know that these Four Forces ( when balanced ) can help control the plane for landings and take-offs. But we also perceive that if these Forces are unbalanced it could cause the plane to crash or no longer contain control.  Thrust helps the plane control for steering, turning and twisting, without Thrust the plane won’t be able to turn in the right directions and could crash. Lift, is a force created by different types of air pressure, it helps lift the plane in the sky and can help raise the plane higher ( if necessary ). Drag can be a useful force in landings, it helps be the brakes when the pilots are at their destinations. Lastly, we have Weight. Weight is a type of Forces powered by gravity pulling objects down. Weight is mostly need for when the planes lower, but the pilots try their best to overpower and take control because if Weight takes over the plane will crash.

William Podcast: Create a Paper Plane

Task Description: Kia Ora everybody my name is William Kaufusi and this is my very own Podcast on how to make your very on paper plane! At Team 4, we have been studying and learning all about physics along with the aerodynamics of aeroplanes. We learnt that the aeroplane flies due to the balance between the forces of flight.  I have really enjoyed working on this project and I hope while you guys watch my podcast, may enjoy it as well. Please leave a positive comment on my very own Blog Post. Thank you! 🙂
