For my create I made a advertisement for the book holes because we just finished reading the book. My favourite part of the book was when Clyde Livingston told Stanley to put his hand over his wife’s mouth to keep her quiet. I really recommend this book.
For my create this week I made a survival shoe that has somethings that you might need to survive in the wilderness. I did this create because the story is a bit about shoes.
For my create I found out the things you need to survive in the desert because in the book Camp Green Lake is practically a desert.
These are the things that I found: water, aquatabs, rope, life straws, electrolytes, food, navigation tools, first aid kit, tools and pocket knives, and finally light and fire.
Do you think you could survive in the desert with this stuff?
For this weeks create I made up my own Palindromes. Palindromes first and last names that can be spent backwards and forwards the same way. I did this create because in the story Stanley Yelnats can be spelt backwards and forwards the same way. Here are my Palindromes:
Mitty Yttum
Bom Mob
Jt Tj
Beau Ueab
Ryder Redyr
Foskett tteksof
Reid Dier
Eddie Eidde

For literacy we are doing a novel study on the book Holes. This is my latest create, it is a letter to Stanley’s parents because in the book he lies to his parents. Here it is.
Dear Mom and Dad.
I think I made the wrong choice going to Camp Green Lake. All we do here is dig holes 5 feet deep and 5 feet wide in every direction, but that’s not the worst thing, the worst thing is the heat. Even if it’s 40 degrees celsius we still have to dig our hole. Every morning we have to get up at 4:30 am so we can avoid the hottest part of the day.
From Stanley
For Te Reo we have been learning about TAP sentences which show the structure of a sentences in Te Reo Maori. My sentences say I am sleeping, you are jumping, Felix is standing, and the dog is dancing.
This week For literacy we have been doing a novel study on the book Holes. This is the create that I did with Mattis, Jacqueline, Ailia, Ashleigh and Mahalia. The create was to dig a hole that was 5 feet wide in every direction. These photos are the old one’s the hole got over 1 metre deep but we forgot to take photos of it so it got filled in. The reason we did this is because in the book Stanley has to dig a hole 5 feet wide in every direction. The stuff in the picture is the stuff we found, we showed it to Urmi but we didn’t get a day off.
For literacy we are doing a novel study on the book Holes. This is the first activity that we had to do, this is about what I think is going to happen in the story.
For literacy we have been practising how to write a explanation because of our Eastle writing. First we had to make a quick plan for our introduction, then we had to write our explanation about Why It Is Important To Go Outside. I found using my plan about my introduction hard to make my paragraphs because it was very vague. I’m proud of myself because I finished it in 1 hour and 15 min. Here is my explanation.
Have you ever been sitting inside on your phone, and looked out the window and wondered, are there actually benefits for being outside? Being outside is important for many reasons like you can get a lot of fresh air from trees and the ocean. It can get you off devices by providing other entertainment which can be quite good for your mental health by getting you to do more fitness and calm you down.
Firstly, you can get a lot of fresh air from trees and the ocean which is good for your lungs because in doors you are just using the same air and carbon dioxide every time you breathe in and out, but outside you use clean fresh air that no one has used.
As well as getting you fresh air going outside can also get you off devices which can make your eyes very sore and they can also make you isolated from the outside world, by keeping you from socialising with other people, plus who would like to be stuck inside looking at a screen when there is an amazing world out there?
Finally, getting outside is good for your mental health, by getting you away from all the stress that social media has made you feel like you need to do everything that everyone else is doing. If you have a big work load that is stressful, getting outside and listening to the birds can just calm you down and centre you.
In conclusion, there are lots of benefits for going outside like getting off devices and socialising, getting you fresh air that can help your lungs and good for your mental health by helping you work though stress. So go and get outside and have some fun.
This term for literacy we have being learning how to write a explanation. In a explanation you need to have a introduction, main body and conclusion with real facts in it. Here is my one.
Have you ever wondered how to be a good dog owner? In this piece of writing it will show you how to be a good dog owner from puppy, adult and an elder. It does not matter, you will find the answer here.
When They’re 8 Weeks Old.
This is about the time that you will get your puppy from the breeder. You should not let your puppy touch the ground outside of your house before they get their vaccination. The first thing you should do when you get home is take them outside to go to the toilet. Once they have gone to the toilet , if you have a clicker click it and give them a treat do this every 30 min. Puppies need to have naps often so every 1.5 hours put them in their bed and sit beside them.
When They’re 4 Months Old
By now your puppy should’ve gotten their vaccinations so you can take them outside but make sure that you don’t take them on big long walks because they can get very tired so if you do make sure they get lots of sleep. Now you should be getting them used to you not being around. To do this, put them in the place where they are going to be when you leave and hide behind something and when they stop making sound, click them with a clicker every time you do this again go away for longer and longer.
1 Year and Older
Now that your dog is fully grown you should be feeding them adult food but if they are skinny you should feed them puppy food because it is more fatty and it will make them less skinny. If you have a very fluffy dog you should get them groomed every 9 weeks.
To sum it all up dogs take a lot of work when they’re puppies with training and playing but as they get older they become less work but they are lots of fun and when they’re tired and you are they’ll give you a hug. Are you a good dog owner?
