**Hi I'm Jared and this is my wikipage** Uninvited Guests

It was a cold wet winter evening in July. My parents had gone to a party three doors down from our house. They had left me alone with strict instructions not to answer the door or the phone, as I would be home alone for three hours. They told me that they would be home at 10pm and that I should go to bed at 9.30. I was pissed off that they weren’t letting me go to my friend’s house. Peter and I had planned to play Modern Warfare 2 on his new Playstation. My younger sister had gone to our grandmothers house in Rotorua as the school holidays were about to begin and I was going to Australia to watch the V8’s with my Dad. Mum was going shopping with her sister.

After they left for the party I turned on TV to watch Pimp My Ride. They were doing up an old VW beetle, which the girl had bought for $100. I had some chocolate and popcorn to eat and almost finished the entire bottle of coke. Too much, I felt bloated and sick. The program finished and I decided to go onto the computer to MSN my friends, when suddenly a power surge blackened the room and the computer died. I felt a little uneasy on my own as I stumbled down the hallway toward the cupboard where the torch was kept. I decided that I would walk down to the party and find Dad. He would know what to do. Was it a blown fuse? Was the entire street blacked out? My mind was starting to dream up all sorts of scenarios.

I tripped and stumbled toward the front door. Just then, with the torch beam on the door knob, I saw it turn...... Mum and Dad weren’t due back for another hour. They said they would be home at 10. Who was it? I screamed! A voice from the other side seemed familiar, it was my Dad.

“Johnny, it’s me, Dad. I just came back to see if you were all right?” I sighed with relief, my heart was still pounding “Dad, what happened to the power?” “Some jackass ran into the power pole at the end of the street. Mum’s coming home too. The party’s over”. “She’s got the key, just let me in” I turned the knob and almost jumped out of my skin. Dad was there with someone holding a gun to his head. Before I could shut the door the man had forced his way in. Dad told me to stay calm and do what the man said. The man harshly threw my dad against the wall and demanded to know where he kept the safe. We both were poked and prodded down the stairs to the pool house where the safe was and then made to get a bunch of money out of it. I didn’t know how much was there, but it looked like a lot.

As dad was punching the combination into the safe I quickly began to think about what I could do to prevent this man from hurting my dad or myself. I reached into my pocket and began dialling the police’s number. Unfortunately the keypad made a noise as I dialled the first number, the man suddenly pushed me up against a wall and threatened that if I was to ever try anything like that again he would put a bullet in my head. I asked him why he needed the money and he said he was being chased by some angry men that he owed money to and needed to get out of the country so they couldn’t find him ever again.

Happy that he had got what he came for the man pushed us into the bathroom, wedged the door and told us not to move. I was relieved it was over and we weren’t hurt.

The End

 Mr Beehre gave us a task to make a postcard on a country we chose. Within the country we had to chose a city; within that city we had to find three tourist locations. My country was England and my three tourist locations was Lords, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.

 Our task was to make a slice of life recount about a experience that we have had in our life so here is my slice of life recount about me going on My first fishing trip.

My dad was driving me down towards Lukes house I was so excited to go fishing. As soon as my dad pulled up onto the driveway ant there they were just waiting for me Richard, Luke and Ben. A few minutes later we left for Half Moon Bay. Richard reversed up and parked the car and the boat on the rocky ground. We put the boat in the water after Richard had parked the car we were ready to go fishing.

Richard gave us all lifejackets and of we went to the ahahas. Ben put the anchor down and we started fishing. A couple of minutes later I got a bite. Richard yelled "Reel it in reel it in!" I was reeling it in as fast as I could and all of a sudden there was a BIG snapper on the end of my line. I was as happy as a kid with a chocolate bar. Richard opened the chilli bin Luke grabbed the red measuring ruler and it was 670mm. It took a while for us to catch any more fish. Finally half an hour later Richard caught a snapper and 2 minutes later Ben got a bite and again it was a snapper by this time Luke was getting as angry as Godzilla's eviler twin.

Before we moved spot Richard caught a scary looking barracuda it looked like a snake like fish! Luke opened a compartment to put the barracuda in. Then we waited about 5 minutes until we moved spots. After Luke and I put the anchor down Luke, Ben and I started fishing but Richard went to sleep. Luke and Ben kept on trying to catch seagulls they did this for about half an hour Luke caught a seagull and he tried to reel it in but it was to strong. We stayed at this spot for about and hour then Richard woke woke up a offered us chocolate. Afterward he said "Lets go home" We were sailing along and we stopped again but this spot was no good. "Then we were finally going home after a long 5 hour fishing trip. media type="file" key="MILITARY Backup.mov" width="300" height="300" Our task was to create a keynote presentation based around a piece of technology that has grown over time. We had to work with a partner(s) on this task. My partner's name were Luke and Dane. We followed the Action Learning Process in brainstorming our topic, creating 5 key questions that we didn't know about our topic and researching our information. We had to rewrite our information into our own words, collect some relevant images and also add a video for our keynote presentation.
