The Time Machine 

by Maddison 

Walking all the way to my dad's lab, I cross the road over the bridge and then take the bus the rest of the way. When I arrived at the lab to see my dad the time was 7.31. Dad had told me to will arrive at 7:30. I was late! He told me to come fast so I can see the big MACHINE!! He called it... the "time machine". I ran to over to look at it. It was shiny, with a chair in the middle of it. Dad told me to stay behind the red line but I didn't.

 I looked behind, and in front of the machine. I asked dad if I could go inside, but he said "no son it's too dangerous’’. I had the grumpiest face ever. Then when he wasn't looking, I ran in the Machine and turned it on and "WOW"! I went to a different world.

When I saw a different world I started to cry. Then I heard some more crying. I looked behind me and saw my dad's WORKERS!!! I ran over to see them. I asked them what happened. They said that they had been testing if the time machine works. but they end up staying in the middle of nowhere as well! I was so MAD that I pushed a rock and it broke. They told me that if we get a computer chip that was super powerful, and we plug it in the machine. We can go back home . So we started my journey to find one. It took days, nights, and more days, and more nights. Finally When we arrived I grabbed the chip and it teleported home. When we got home I gave my dad a beating.

If I had a million Dollars at the Mall

If I had a million dollars at the mall It would be fun because I could get anything I want Like Toys,Shoes and Ps4. Including food.

If I went to Toy world I would get all the Remote controls and Nerf guns. I will get a Remote control High- speed Police Boat that I could put in the Pool and Zoom around. I would also get a Remote Control Helicopter that can Go as high as it can and properly attach a gopro on it so I could Sneak on my brothers without Going in the room. I will also get a Toy Racing car that Will drive on the road and I will Trip my sister . I will also get a Humongous Teddy bear because they are Cute and fluffy and Nerf guns To shoot my Brothers and sisters.

I Would do the longest shopping spree in the Gaming section. Because I could get anything, But the Only thing that I want to get is a phone because I could get ubers with the rest of the money that I had. I would also get a TruSens Z-3000 Air Purifier which Is the coolest fan So it can air Out my room and I would get two for the lounge. I will also get two Ps4 in my room so Me and someone else can play fortnite and we can't be sweaty because we have a fan. I will also get a laptop and a Tv to watch some movies.

My favourite shoes are Adidas,Reebok,Converse and Nike's and I will get them all . Because Now I have running shoes and I could sell them or keep them for someone else to have.

After all that shopping of course I will be Hungry! I will get me Teriyaki chicken, McDonald and some Butter chicken with flatbread because Those are all My favourite food and a salad because I love vegetables , And for the drink I will get a thick Milkshake or a sprite. And a big frozen coke

In the end I will have money left and properly give it away but if I one the lotto I will be gone for 20 years and give some to the schools

In our literacy class we have been starting to work on writing recounts.  Here is a blog post by Talita about seeing the Duffy show at school last week.

Duffy Show Recount

Monday afternoon, years four to eight had the opportunity to watch a Duffy Show. It all started when we lined up to go to the hall to watch the Duffy Show. Once we were there, two women were there playing simon says well the other classes came in. When we were all there, one of the women said to everyone to say “come in Duffy!”. We all said it and Duffy came in. He came in and he introduced himself and so did the two women. After that, Duffy got his guitar out and started playing the Duffy song.

Beginning of the show

Once we finished the song they told us the names of the characters.They were the Mum, Sienna, Duffy and the Liberian. When they were done saying the characters, they said the main three rules. Which were be quite, stay seating and have fun and have fun while watching. After that, we finally started the show. The show started and Duffy said what the show was about, which was him encouraging Sienna to read book instead of watching the Television.

What happened?

This story was about a girl name Sienna who love watching Television but not reading books. One day Sienna’s Mum, left to go to work. Her Mum was asked for  some help from Sienna with her homework but her Mum keep walked out the door to go to work. Duffy was at the library getting out a book with library card, Sienna saw him and thought, “he’s rich cause he’s got a visa card”. He came out of the library and Sienna asked Duffy “where did you get that visa card from, Duffy replied,”this isn’t a visa card, it’s a library card”. She was confused, but Duffy explained it to her. She told Duffy about how she did not like reading and she liked the T.V way better. Duffy and Sienna went into the library and Duffy got the librarian and told her how Sienna just watches T.V and did not like reading.  The librarian and Duffy, tried to get Sienna’s favorite things like…    shape, colour and things to do, they all related to the T.V. They asked her their last thing which was movie and she said Harry Potter, they got the book out and research the author of the book which was Rowl. After that I didn’t get to watch the rest of the show.

Conclusion

I was very sad because I didn’t get to see the rest of the show. Apart from that, it was great. One of the things that I am thinking in my head is that I couldn’t stay to see the rest of the show. My last thought about the show would be that it was good ending for me and I have heard about the ending and sounded good. This show has encouraged me to encourage other people to read.

This week and last week in writing, we have been writing recounts and learning about them. I have learnt that a recount is some thing that gets me thinking a lot. I think it will help you to. I also hope that you enjoyed my writing!

Our focus in class has been on including our WALT and description of the task or learning for each blog post. This means when people read our blogs, they know exactly what the learning intention and task was for on each blog post.
