From the start of Term 2 phones have been banned in schools, colleges, in New Zealand because of the National Party policy. The cause is pretty self explanatory, people being on their phones rather than being face-to-face with people, cheating with your phones, distractions. And what do I think about this? I will probably not have a phone until I turn 14 or so, but it could slightly help with people on their phones, and give them a break.
What is blackout poetry? You extract a piece of text (credit them), find words that join up to make sentences, and black out the rest. Here is my blackout poetry about cats.
Camp was way back in Term 2 but this writing got accepted for Toitoi, a book that gets published every season to show the writing and illustrations from kids around New Zealand. This is my writing about camp, the sport of abseiling. The picture is upside down for some reason but you get the picture.

Writing:
An extremely scary sport at first glance
Burning sensation in my hands
Sight below made me shake
Everyone was cheering me on
I could barely hold the bottom of the rope
Like the trees were encouraging me as well
Instructor believed in me
Now it was someone else’s turn
Genuinely the most frightening experience ever
Many parts of speech exist in the English language. Adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, interjections, nouns, and verbs are some to name a few. If you don’t know what some of them are, an adverb describes a verb or an adjective, like for example, slowly walking. A conjunction is a word that connects parts of sentences. ‘And’ is a conjunction. Prepositions tell what time, location, direction an object is. ‘The cat is beside the girl.’ A noun is the name of an object, place, date, or person. A verb is an action word that describes what something is doing.
A prefix is an addition that comes with a word. The prefix comes before the word, because pre- means before. For example, a prefix is the word pre-. Pre-school, pre-diabetes, preliminary. The prefix/suffix must have a root word to stick to. If you do a word like con, the word con means a fraud. But the root word is n, and n is only a letter. Words like co-pilot will be better. A suffix is a word that comes with the end of a root word. An example of a suffix is -ful. Wonderful, Teaspoonful, and grateful all have the suffix -ful.

Task description: For this task we listened to the book Badjelly the Witch by Spike Milligan. I made a revolting recipe: Rat tail ice-cream. Revolting ingredients, revolting instructions. I hope you like my recipe! Don’t make it in real life though.
Rat-tail ice cream.
A good dessert to eat when you are dying of heat! Or something to do when you want to get rid of evil, fat rats that will eat anything.
This will serve up to 20 hungry people. Make this now in 7 easy steps!
Ingredients needed:
3.8L of expired rotten milk 66 dried (or fresh caught) rat tails
81 grams of eyelashes ( any animal eyelashes would do) 10 grams of soot and dust
39 tablespoons of old makeup powder 777 unripe strawberries
4 litres of ice cold swamp water
Equipment needed:
Electric mixer. (if you have one. If not, use a) Whisk or a giant spoon thing. You will definitely need a big cauldron. And you will need a bucket and a plastic container.
Step one: Put the rat tails in the cauldron first. This will assure that the ice cream does not get too sour. Add the eyelashes, the makeup powder, and the expired milk.
Step two: Get a bucket, go outside and find the coldest swamp water. Bring 4 litres. The best time to find cold swamp water is in summer.
Step three: Put the swamp water in the cauldron. Put in the soot and dust, and the unripe strawberries. Do not mix yet. I never said to!
Step four: Then you can mix. Mix for 20-45 seconds.
Step five: Scoop out some of the ice cream mix with your container. Fill it all the way to the top and put it in the fridge for 1 minute. If you don’t have a fridge, go and find a cold place where no animals and people live.
Step six. Once it is frozen, pick the ice cream mix up. If you want more, keep doing step five and six again until the cauldron is empty.
Step seven: Serve. The ingredients might be disgusting but I promise it will taste really good! Enjoy your rat tail ice cream.
