The Seven Chairs

The fifth one ended up in France.

In the Forensic Unit of Romania (FUR), the news has spread around. Another mysterious chair? Again? And what is this Trioa wood that is so rare that there is only 1/1,000,000 chance of finding the tree it comes from? What is happening?

The morning sun shone in from the window. "Oh god... France this time? What next, Italy?" The agent twirled her chocolate brown hair around her finger. "Gee, this doesn't make any sense at all. Any news, Jake?" Her partner replied, "What do you think? The usual. A chair made from Trioa, a rare type of wood, ended up smack dab in the middle of France. What did you expect, Selina?" "Whatever..." Selina mumbled, teeth gritted, "Let's go and investigate. Tell Lucy to get us two tickets to France, please."

The crowded Romania airport was buzzing. Tourist were taking souvenir pictures (???), parents trying to organize everything, and children smiling and laughing excitedly. Soon enough though, Selina and Jake were on the plane, Selina reading a Forensic Science book, and Jake... eating peanuts???!!! "Man... is that what you do for a living, Jake?" Selina sarcastically asked. "No... I'm a Forensic Agent, dumbo." Jake replied with a mouthful of peanuts. "Well seems like cramming yourself with food should be your second job, then." Selina rolled her eyes and returned to her book. "It IS my second job. I get paid zero dollars per hour for it, you know." Jake smirked. "Ha ha. VERY funny." Selina droned, not taking her eyes off her book. The plane then took of to France.

The corridor was well lit, with an ancient touch to it. The catholic church was perhaps one of the biggest churches in France. "Wow.. impressive.. now where's the chair?" Jake gazed at the amazing carved worked on the walls and all the ancient artifacts. They then saw a chair in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by tape that said "Do not cross." They both stared at the tape, then realising it was THE chair. It looked so beautiful. This wood was... so... unlike normal wood! The carvings were of random symbols, meaning nothing. Or so people thought, but no. "Hey... I recognise this symbol over there. Its the symbol of Unhert." Jake leaned closer to investigate the symbol. "Wait.. what's Unhert? Some type of money thing?" Selina questioned. "No. It's a company that is well known..." Jake answered, before being interrupted by Selina. "Well known? Well I must be dumb, since I don't know it. And so must be the rest of the world." "Noooo... Unhert is another name for Hunter Co. It's a secret codename they use. They just scrambled the letters up." Jake said.

"Well, have you got any proof that we did it?" The boss of Hunter Co. challenged. "Ummm... the way you said that sounded like proof!" Jake challenged back. "Quiet down, Jake!" Selina warned, "We found out by lots of 'secret' resources that Hunter Co.'s secret codename is Unhert, which is what we found carved into the chair. The chair also had a miniature atom bomb attached to the bottom, which was detached immediately." "Hmph. How much proof do you have?" The boss asked. "About thirty seven pages. Here you go." Jake smirked and spun the folder across the table, "So. Is that too less?"

The FUR F-team was in celebration. "Can't believe it was a big company. Who would guess that?" Selina pondered. "Me? Who else?" Jake smiled cheekily. Selina shoved a plate full of biscuits into Jake's hands. "Hey. Your job needs you." She mocked. "Oh yeah! My jobs rock!!!" Jake happily walked away with tons of biscuits crammed into his mouth. "Did I mention that there are sherbet treats in the kitchen?" Selina smirked. Jake stopped in his tracks and froze. "Really? REALLY? YAY!!!" And he ran towards the direction of the kitchen. "Just kidding, Jake!" She poked her tongue out at him. "W H A T? Selina!!! Come here you...!!!"

This my book in a bag. My book was How to Ditch Your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier.



I have questions and answers, a glossary, a list of fairies and also five items that relate to the story.



My items were a car because Charlie (the main character) has a parking fairy; a jacket because her best friend has a clothes shopping fairy; a dog representing a dog fairy; a cat because there is a cat fairy; and a mirror because you can see fairy auras through them.



And lastly, I have a blurb, about the author and a picture of the author at the back.

For our ALJ we had to promote a certain cause, and in our class we promoted the SPCA. We chose to promote 'Adopting an Animal' and we published it using a Glog. We had to ask six questions (which we emailed to the SPCA) and add a relevant video. So here is my finished product that I completed with my partner, Alyssia.

It contains a selection of winter poems that I have written in class. I have also included some illustrations to support my poetry. Some of my poems have also been published using an image / text generator. I hope you like my poem collection!

<span class="long_text" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 5px; vertical-align: top;">My task is to create an avatar (WeeMee) that some of my characteristics. Then I had to record my interpretation of how the eye works. I repeated my presentation and recorded it in GarageBand. I then used iMovie to create my podcast, including my avatar and my audio presentation. I also learned to embed and resize my podcast and into my Wikispace. Look at my podcast:

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"> Our task was make a keynote presentation based around a piece of technology that has evolved over time. We had to work with a partner on this task. My partner was Alyssia. We followed the Action Learning Process in brainstorming our topic, creating 6 key questions and researching our information. We had to rewrite our information into our own words and find some images and also a video for our presentation.

I chose to write one on orienteering in Huia. Our writing focus was on using descriptive language. We had to include a range of adjectives, onomatapoeia, similes, metaphor and personification. We were given 4 options on publishing our recounts. Those options were: creating a whiteboard photo, keynote, podcast or publishing straight onto our own wikispace. I chose to publish my recount straight onto my own wiki.

<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #e07610; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"> The blazing sun shone on the clear stream which glistened in response. One of us was going to have to cross the stream to get the clue for orienteering. We had been all around the Huia EOTC program site and there were two more clues to find. And this was one of them. "I'll do it." I volunteered. "There are electric eels!" My partner warned. I put on my harness and hooked myself to a rope. I stumbled down the rock-hard steps and I was ready to go.

<span style="background-color: #000000; color: #ffff00; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"> I tugged the peach-pink rope and went forward a little. There was no more footing, so I was suspended in mid-air. The flow of the current beneath me was like a soft breeze taking it's time to float across the skies. I glanced down to check for any electric eels. There where midget, wormlike creatures that I didn't think were eels. I felt a rush of relief inside me and the butterflies in my stomach had disappeared. I yanked the rope harder and I went closer to the clue hanging at the end of the rope. Unfortunately, even though I was closer, I was still a long way away. I continued to draw myself to the end, my muscles hurting more and more as I pulled myself closer and closer. I finally got close to the clue, but the clue kept which twirling around, attached to the rope with a thin piece of string. I tried to wave the rope around to get the clue to turn around. I peeked at the clue and shouted, "Found it! The clue is 'is not'!" I pulled another rope which sent me backwards a little. I groaned. I was going to have to pull myself back. I suddenly remembered that my partner can help me on the way back, so my partner and the parent helper helped me pull the rope,made it a lot easier. I stepped on to a platform and unhooked myself and took the harness off. "Did you write the clue down?" Was the first question I asked. "Yep!" My partner answered. "Seven down, one more to go!" I announced as we rushed off to the last clue.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif; line-height: 15px;"> We were told to do a postcard on a certain city and talk about 3 tourist attractions, so I chose Gold Coast, Australia and my three attractions where Wet 'n' Wild, Warner Bros. Movie World and Sea World. I have been there before a few years ago =.= :)
