Time Travelling Story

Amy’s Epic Journey

The name is Pond, Amy Pond. I am the Eleventh Doctor’s companion… and his best yet. I was married last night to Rorey, so I’m guessing that my name is now Amy William. So here it is my first solo adventure through time. This time it’s complicated….

There I was, sitting all by myself in the TARDIS. While the TARDIS may appears as a blue small police box, the inside is extraordinary with many levels and rooms

We were on our way to Mexico in 2015 until my dear Doctor got a call from “Her Majesty, the Egyptian Goddess.” He left along with Rorey, who had just found his new obsession with ancient Egyptians!

Now I know I shouldn’t be touching the priceless TARDIS, I just could not stop myself. How can you say no to the only time-travelling machine in the whole universe? There I was pressing old buttons randomly (111246321 to be exact). Suddenly, the machine made this groaning noise with “Ancient Greece, 216 BC” on the screen. Boy I was excited.

Foolish as I was, I opened the door. In front of me was this beautiful temple. It was made from white marbles and decorated with gems from around the globe. It was looking over an ancient city; I believe it was Athens itself.

I took the first step of the marble floor. Then the fire viciously lit up. How? So I took another awkward step, much gently this time.

A boy in dirty clothes came running out. He sat there… with his hands and his head on the floor. Was he alright? Maybe they need to invent a new kind of medicine… soon.

“Umm, hello there,” I said.

He muttered something in Ancient Greek, which no way I could understand. He started to walk away. I followed.

I was in this room, full with statues of Greek gods. From Poseidon, to Athena, to Herms, and even Hades. There was an elegant table in the middle of the room, then something caught my eyes. I gave out a cry. There was a boy there, covered in blood… with his eyes opened. I wanted to turn away.

Right there, I wished that I came here with the Doctor. How will I get back? All I knew was that I have to get back to the TARDIS. Even though the doors were heavily guarded with tough looking guys, I need to run for it.

People might say that I’m small but I can run rather fast when I wanted to. They didn’t think I would be that foolish so they lost their guard. Thanks the gods for that precious 7 seconds; the difference between life and death.

As quick as a cat, I was in the TARDIS. I locked the door and pressed random buttons, I needed to get out of this scary place. Now there weren’t many words that appeared on the screen: “Beijing, China, 2056.” At least it will be better than Ancient Greece… or will it?

There were Chinese and English advertisements everywhere. Not just that, there were really high buildings. Many of them. I was surprised to see how much human kind has moved. Poor Mother Nature.

I was too scared to go outside, of getting lost, meeting new people. Wait, are those people purple? Something is very wrong. I need to tell the Doctor. In a hurried, I ran to the control room. I found a “Home” button. I pressed it. I sat in a corner. I waited.

My Maori Video

I can greet people in Maori - Sometimes
I can count up to ten in Maori - Sometimes
I can give number between 20 and 100 in Maori - Sometimes



I was pleased with what I remembered because I didn't wrote anything down to remember my Maori. I am also pleased that I can count up to 5, which is amazing since this is my first speaking Maori. I am very pleased with myself!

I need to work on my pronounciation in Maori because I keep saying it differently. I also need to remember the numbers from 6 to 10..

My effort during Maori was Good!

Life Education

Life Education...

Last week, SAMS had a visit from Life Education. This time, our visits aren't nice and cute like they used to be in primary, it was scary and full of terror... it gave people nightmares and makes little kids cry! "Web of Addiction" is what it’s called! Our lessons were taught by Michelle, she is cool and very entertaining.

The lessons were mainly about drugs, alcohol and puberty. I know, scary! We learnt about certain drugs and what it does to you, pretty scary stuff. We saw so many videos and pictures of how drugs can ruin your family, friend and future. Though it was scary, it was fun and a bit creepy. Another thing we learn was about puberty and how we are all different from other people. There will and always will be only one me right now and the future! We learnt a bit about how our body work, with hormones during our ‘teens’ years. Like how one certain morning when your voice (and something else too) drop and you start to turn a bit crazy and creepy. We learn many drugs names and how dangerous they are, and alcohols. It might be legal but they can be a bit of a pain when you are addicted to them… What else? Yeah, we learn about having 7 steps or years of puberty. Seriously, we know this stuff already… we just don’t use those big words that Michelle did.

Right now, Life Ed is in a primary school, can’t remember which one. Yes, almost forgot, we saw Harold, he is cute and amazing as always. We also saw his big friend; Big G… He is so creepy, he scares me a lot!

Science Investigation/Science Fair

My topic is: The Weather (Planet Earth and Beyond)

Aim:

• What do you want to find out?
• Why do you want to do the experiment?

My aim is to predict a long term and/or a short term weather in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch, by looking at the weather patterns last year at this time of the year, e.g. first week of June.

Hypothesis:

• What do you think will happen?
• Make an educated guess from the background research you have done

My hypothesis is that I can predict the weather in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch correctly, by looking at past weathers.

Equipment:

• Find out and list all the experiment and resources you need

1. Resources like internet, news, books etc. about weather (recorded weather in the past 12 months.

Method:

• Give the instructions clearly and concisely to your experiment in order, so that some one else can repeat it.
• Number each step, and begin each step with a verb, e.g. place, mix, cut.

1. Research and collect data on weathers in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch in the Winter/Summer months.

2. Organise my data, and look at weather patterns, e.g. temperatures, rain falls, etc., in each city.

3. Predict an accurate weather for each city for certain day and/or week from your data.

NEW Science Fair Idea!

My new Science Fair idea is... -drum rolls-

Predicting the weather by looking at the weather of the last 3 month in each region! ...it would be an easier Science Project!

Do YOU have any suggestion?

My Science Project

In Room 7, we're going to do a Science Fair Project! We brainstormed what we are

we going to do for our Science Fair, I have several random ideas by my favorite is

designing an invisible Tic-Tac-Toes game using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010.

It will be so much fun designing the game and testing it on several people!

Firstly, I have to design a Tic-Tac-Toe game, and of course, testing it to make sure

that it work. Next, I have to come up with a formula to make sure that my program

will always win so I can experiment it on people.

My project will be in Technology Development section, so I think that it will be a really unique

project and yet understandable. Plus, I don't really need many materials, I only need:

my laptop, Microsoft Visual and CMD. My project will be a challenge but it will not be an

impossible project because I already have some basic knowledge of computer/program designing

and I guess I sort of have a "passion" for it.

I just need to think of some questions to go with it, what do YOU think?

My Pre-Assesment on Landform

This is my pre-assesment on landform. I talked about my pet rock: Brownie; how he came to New Zealand; his shape; his colour; his texture; and his size! It was fun making the video.

My Chinese Dialogue Video

First of all, it was fun making this Chinese Dialogue video with my partner, EC. I believe that we did it quite well, especially if it was our first time making the video. It took us about 5 times to make it, because someone (...me...) kept saying the wrong line. I thought that our voices were clear and very easy to understand, though, my Chinese pronounciations weren't that good. I remembered the lines quite well, because I hardly look at the writing ...much! We were asking each other: how we were, our telephone numbers and if we like Hot & Spicy Tofus. Overall, I thought we did well and it was so fun making the video!

My SAMS Learner T-Shirt

It looks creative, which is what I'm good at as a SAMS Learner! The theme is to be socialise and connected together as one, being a Communicator and a Contributor, by making all my lines/blocks connected together. Eventhough it is very creative, it has been put into lines/blocks to show how organised it can be as a Self Manager. As an Explorer, I've made my t-shirt quite different from other as because I always want to try something new, and also being different. I had coloured it in with many different colours to show joys and also how fun a SAMS Learner can be! Its also represent different because everyone is unique!

Chinese Introduction Video

I thought that My Chinese Introdution was OK. I believes that my tones was good and my voice was quite clear! Though, I didn't make much eye-contact and I keep moving my hands around ...so, I need to work on that!
