Dragon Tail's Are Real?!

By Mika

A creature that breaths swirling fire, flies like the wind roams in New Zealand?! At 2:00 pm in the afternoon, 15th May 2018. A 50-meter high dragon has been spotted terror rising the citizens of Auckland in Chili Street. We have no clue of how a fairy tale has come to life but biologists are now researching. A quote by Nikita Black says this. “I never thought this could be possible. The dragon destroyed skyscrapers and killed hundreds of people. He had blood red scales and eyes engulfed with rage.”

Biologists have found out where the dragon has come from. In Antarctica, there is an outline of the dragon on the ice meaning that the dragon has frozen and preserved the body. Over time the ice started melting freeing the dragon. The military fought the dragon in Auckland. Everyone has evacuated so the military can drop a nuke. Unfortunately, it didn't affect the dragon.

473 people have died and thousands are injured. Most of the city hid in the countryside. A quote by Mark McCray says. “It’s hopeless, half of the city is gone and the military weapons have no effect, not even a scratch. People say no we still have hope but they’re just blinded with happy endings. It’s over for us.”

In the dark ages, there were dragons. So people invented something called ‘The Black Arrow’. Legends say a Black Arrow can break through dragon scales. It may be a legend but, when there’s no more hope, people look for a miracle. Agents were sent to retrieve the arrow in all the castles. Right now they're still looking. If this doesn’t work, nothing will.

A dragon attacked Auckland. Biologists have found out how this happened. Military Weapons do nothing to the dragon. People lost hope and agents are looking for the black arrow that may be the key to the dragon’s demise.

1 Hour Late Watch

The All Knowing Wheel

Today in Maths, I learnt how to use this thing. I don't know what it's called but I will call it The All Knowing Wheel. It's a diagrap that helps to convert fraction percentages and decimals. What I learnt is that I didn't know you can convert Decimals into percentages or Fractions. What I found challanging was trying to remember how to convert thing into things. You know what I mean. This diagrap looks confusing but don't worry, it's easyer than it looks. Go ahead try it. It's not going to bite. At least I hope it doesn't.

Some of these art took years to make!

Today we did some Pop Art with our Teacher Mrs Stratton. It was a lot of fun!

Mirage

This week, I was learning about mirages. Did you know that Mirages can be photographed? Ok enough with the facts. I wrote a short story about Mirages. I learnt that Mirages can be photographed. What I found challanging was understanding how light refracts. It's complicated. Enough with the Chit Chatt, lets get into detailed story stuff.

I dropped into the dust of gold.  As I picked myself up, my arms wobbled. I staggered across the desert, lost and alone. “I won’t make it.” I croaked to the sky. As I laid down hopelessly, I saw a shimmer of reply in the distance. I reached out to the sand. Digging my fingers into the heat. I dragged myself to the shimmer. As I crawled closer. The sand revealed an oasis with palm trees guarding the lake. I jumped on my feet forgetting about the heat. As I reached for the oasis, it disappeared in thin air. I again collapse, I heard voices of men. I closed my eyes. And hope.
