The Door

I placed my ear against the firm, wooden door. It felt warm: the sun had been shining on it all morning. From the other side I could hear voices. It sounded like two, or maybe three people whispering. One of the voices was a woman, and the others seemed to be men. Or was it the sound of a child?

The tone of their voices suggested great excitement. Had a great discovery just been made? Had a long-lost secret just been unearthed? Curious, I placed my hand on the shiny, metal door handle and began to turn. Creak… the door’s stiff hinges resisted me, but gradually gave way, and I was drenched in darkness as I stepped over the threshold fresh air filled my lungs and i look forward and see my mother and father so excited because the found out their having a baby boy and that's me they cant hear me but i can hear them they cant see me but i can see them they where so excited and so was I. I walked back through that door and told everyone that there is a time portal through that door no one believed me so I kept it to myself.

Can you write a story about going through one of the doors, and what might be on the other side? I challenge everyone who sees this to write a story and send it to me at otuleal@kawakawaprimary.co.nz. feel free to use my story as a sentence starter. Later.

A new herd

Things just weren’t the same in the field anymore. Daisy had often scoffed at the expression “the grass is always greener on the other side”, but in this instance she hoped it was true.

The grass in her field just didn’t seem as sweet as it used to, and in fact it hadn’t done for some time. Things had gone rapidly downhill for her recently, and it was time to head for fresh pastures so the worked tirelessly to make and sell milk to move to the other side she worked day and night then she had enough money to go to the other side.

She said her goodbyes and got on a truck to the other side she was put in a fenced area with sweet grass she was happy all the grass in the world she made friends then one day her friends disappeared  one by one then Jeff yelled from outside the fenced area run daisy run!! daisy ran like no cow has run before she jumped the fence and ran  home  now she is happy with the grass and she will never take it for granted again.

I chose this peace because it was on poggle 365.

I found it easy because i had a sentence starter thanks to poggle 365.

My next step is to use a variety of punctuation in my writing.

Maori directions

In class we have been doing Maori directions. this is mine and my friends it was very easy because we

Poem

Polar Bears

There was only one thing on her mind. Survival.

With one of her cubs clinging on to the soft, comfortable fur on her back and the other two not far behind, she set off across the snow. She was their protector, their teacher, their guide and their provider of food. The weight of the task ahead weighed heavily on her powerful shoulders.

This was not the first time she had made this journey. She could remember walking this very same path with her mother, many years ago. Now, the circle of life had turned, and it was her time to be the responsible one.

Her cubs, only a few weeks old, seemed so vulnerable out here, so tiny beside her massive frame. They were also beautiful; their fur almost as white as the snow that surrounded them, their curious, wet-nosed faces looked around in awe of the world they had been born into. They meant everything to her, and she would do anything to keep them safe. They, in turn, would rely upon her love for them over the harsh winter. 

land of...

Floating gently through the clear blue sky, Billy stared ahead, hoping he would reach his destination soon. The clouds were endless; covering the horizon as far as the eye could see.

He had set off with a dream but didn’t know if it would come true. 
As the clouds parted, he could not believe what he could see...
 he had found a land of Ninjas he fought for his life and was taught the ways of the white Dragons
 he was the best student and went on to be Hattori Hanzo one of the best Ninjas in the world.

Nilgai

Nilgai

Nilgai is the largest antelope in asia it can grow from 5.6 to 6.9 feet it prefers to live in short bushes or scattered trees these animals are herbivores and they are diurnal they have a sloping back with a deep neck and a white spot in there neck they also have a short mane of hair behind and along there neck.

Description

The Nigal has a sloping back with a deep neck and a white spot in there neck they also have a short mane of hair behind and along there neck Nilgai is the largest antelope in asia it can grow from 5.6 to 6.9 feet Males weigh 109–288 kilograms the maximum weight recorded is 308 kilograms.Females are lighter, weighing 100–213 kilograms. And they have two white spots each on its face, ears, cheeks, lips and chin.

Behaviour

In 1991 a study investigated the daily routine of the antelope and found feeding peaks at dawn, in the morning, in the afternoon and during the evening. Females and juveniles do not interact appreciably with males, except during the mating season. Groups are generally small, with ten or fewer individuals, though groups of 20 to 70 individuals can occur at times. Typically tame, the nilgai may appear timid and cautious if harassed or alarmed; instead of seeking cover like duikers it would flee up to 300 metres (980 ft)-or even 700 metres (2,300 ft) on galloping-away from the danger. Though generally quiet, nilgai have been reported to make short guttural grunts when alarmed, and females to make clicking noises when nursing young Alarmed individuals, mainly juveniles below five months, give out a coughing roar (whose pitch is highest in case of the juveniles) that lasts half a second, but can be heard by herds less than 500 metres (1,600 ft) away and responded to similarly.

Reproduction

Observations of females in southern Texas revealed that ovaries are developed by two years of age and the first birth takes place typically a year later, though in a few cases females as young as one-and-a-half years may mate successfully Females can breed again around a year after parturition. Males in the same location were found to have active testes by the age of three years, that matured considerably by the next year Males become sexually active at four or five years. Mating may occur throughout the year, with peaks of three to four months. The time of the year when these peaks occur varies geographically. In Texas, a peak is apparent from December to March In (Rajasthan, India) the breeding season is from October to February, peaking in November and December. The Sariska reserve witnesses a similar peak in December and January.

Habitat

Nilgai prefer areas with short bushes and scattered trees in scrub forests and grassy plains. They are common in agricultural lands, but hardly occur in dense woods. In southern Texas, it roams in the prairies, scrub forests and oak forests. It is a generalist animal-it can adapt to a variety of habitats. Though sedentary and less dependent on water, nilgai may desert their territories if all water sources in and around it dry up.Territories in Texas are 0.6 to 8.1 square kilometres (0.23 to 3.13 sq mi) large.

In class we got to pick what type of writing we do. I did a report on the Nilgai it is a animal I knew nothing about but know I do.
