Homeroom Profile 2019

Hi my name is Harriet, I am 11 years old. I am from Otaki College. My birthday is on July the 3rd. I have 2 pet bunnies, 1 pet dog, 2 cats and 1 fish. I have a sister called Emily and a brother Called Sam. My Mum is called Kate and my Dad is called Chris. My favourite foods are sushi and chocolate. My favourite drinks are L&P, apple juice and lemonade (sprite).

Animation practice.

This is my practice animation, it has 14 slides. I have learnt that when you make a slide like this it takes lots of time and effort and it is really hard to get all the right angles and positions. I now know for the animation assessment that there are lots of things you have to remember, and if you want to get really good at it, it would take lots of practise.

What's That?

La la la la la, what a beautiful day! The sun is out, the birds are chirping.

It is a perfect day to collect some blueberries and walnuts off the ground for hibernation.

Wait! what’s that noise? It’s coming from a tree ten down from mine in the forest.

I sneak back as quiet as I can. I drop off the walnuts and blueberries back to my house

and then go to investigate.

There are these humongous yellow loud things that are making me deaf.

Hayley, my sister comes with me to investigate but she leaves soon after we get there to go

get more hibernation things.

She nags me to go with her because she said she can never find

anything so she needs my help. I don’t believe that she needs help.

I think that she just thinks that it is unsafe so she wants me to go with her.

Even though she always goes by herself and comes back with heaps.

Although I went with her anyway because she wasn’t going to leave without me.

We were gone for quite a while and when we got back the big yellow thing was only

four trees away from ours.

Then we both went back inside. When we got inside we counted up all the walnuts and

blueberries. Altogether there were two hundred and seventeen blueberries and one

hundred and eighty two walnuts. That would last us for ages.

The loud yellow thing was getting really close so I went outside and hid in a bush watching

them.  Then it started to get closer it was now cutting down a tree two away from ours.

I got my family out. Except my Mum, she refused to go outside because she really wanted

to finish the washing. It was almost at our house. Just one away now.

Soon it was at our tree. It started to tip. Urgently, I tried to get my Mum out.

I started calling for her except she couldn’t hear me.

So I ran inside and got her. The tree was moving really fast now.

I could see it from inside tipping. It was slowly falling to the ground.

“ BANG”. The tree fell to the ground and me and my Mum made it out with a flinch of time left.

We now live in a new house. Our new home was amazing, we had to get more

food for hibernation, although that was ok. Because it was worth the new move.

Since then the only yellow thing I ever see is buttercups.
