Narrative story

One day on a Tuesday night, there was a Big bang outside the front door. I wasn’t really sure what that big bang outside was. I was hoping it  was my two dogs playing and accidentally tipped something over or my mum just got back from work and bumped the rubbish bin down.

Then, I heard the gate opening and closed again, I knew it wasn’t my mum because she never shut the gate close and she would always call my name straight away once she already arrived at home.

This time I knew a stranger or something was coming to my house, I got scared and walked to my room to go and check on my dogs. While I  was walking to my room  I turned on all the lights next to me, By the time I got to the room I heard a Knock at my front door. One of my dogs started barking while my other dog was resting. I rushed to my other dog to make it be quiet so it looked like nobody was home.

When I managed to get them to be quiet I thought that they might have left and was going to go and sit in the living room and continue watching ‘Cobra Kai’ until I heard another knock. But this time it was at the back door and again the dog started barking so I grabbed my dogs and blocked their mouths so they couldn't bark.

After, A couple minutes later I was completely sure that I was safe and watched my program I remembered to let the dogs out so they can go toilet, I had no choice but to open the door for the dogs, when I open the door I saw a Man with a black hoodie on and black jeans, so soon as I saw him he ran up to the door but luckily for me I shut the door and locked it before he could even reach to me.

What, was going on I keep telling myself I soon then see a light coming through the driveway and it was my mum she screamed my name but I yelled to her through the window ‘MUM LOCK THE CAR DOOR’ I was so worried and hoping she had lock the car door, thankfully she did I then told her that I will come outside with the dogs so they can protect my mum and I from that creepy man that was outside the door.

Once I had said that, I quickly ran to the door and opened it I yelled out to the dogs to come outside with me, they started barking and running towards the car I was by myself with no one to protect me, I then hear footsteps towards the door I walked towards the kitchen to get a knife to scare them off than i looked and checked and see my mum walking to me with the dog’s I then know it was safe for me to get out of the house, I was still scared but from that day I never saw him  again.

 

Volume and capcity

Room 7 and I have learned that Volume is the amount of space in a solid figure and capacity is how much liquid a 3D figure can hold.

The difference between volume and capacity is a way we represent measurements. We measure volume in cubic and capacity in units such as gallons and much more.

Mrs Gock’s passing made other people think of the Kiwi Chinese people of New Zealand. What are these comments about? Are they positive or negative?

I think Positive, because most of the people were all commenting about how sad they felt when Mr and Mrs Gock had to live in a barn with their family to start their business because the chinese immigrants couldn’t buy a house at the time.
