//“ Mum would I be able to take a walk to the lake?” Yeah sure darling just be sure to be home before dinner at 6.00pm. As I walked though the forest that led down to the lake the I was going though. I could smell the fresh scents as I walked through the forest. I finally reached the lake that I was going to visit. As I was about to sit down on the fresh green grass, I couldn’t help but notice a couple of caterpillars wiggling. As soon as the caterpillars saw me they started to shuffle towards me, so I picked them up. I watched with awe as the caterpillars spelt out hello. It occurred to me that I should ask them what there names are. // // “Wormy and Wiggly” spelt the caterpillars. I then told them my name, Evana. I spent most of the evening talking to the caterpillars. //

//I automatically remembered that I had to be home before dinner, which was at 6.00pm. // //I didn't feel right just leaving the caterpillars there so i took them with me, carrying them gently in my hands as i ran through the forest. // //"Hi mum" I said as i walked through the door and headed towards my bedroom. I slipped the caterpillars gently into my pocket. I then searched around my room for something to put the caterpillars in while i was eating. Eventually i found a small container. I found some greenery and put it in the container. I then poked some small breathing holes into the container lid. I lifted the lid off and gently put Wormy and Wiggly into the container, put the lid back on and went to dinner. I ate dinner gratefully realizing just how hungry i was. After dinner i cleaned my teeth, slipped into my pajamas and went into my room. I immediately realized something was wrong. I looked around the room checking that everything was there and everything seemed to be. I slipped into bed relieved that i was wrong about there being something wrong in my bedroom. Just as i was about to fall asleep i remembered the caterpillars. I shot out of bed and turned on the light. I went over to the container and couldn't see the caterpillars. I even took of the lid and put my hands in the container feeling around gently for the caterpillars. They weren't there. // //Where are you Wormy and Wiggly i thought. I looked around the room for clues and found a half eaten apple. That couldn't be mine because i hate apples. I looked around for more clues. There were none so as far as i knew the thief who had taken my friends the caterpillars, likes apples. I am going to find you Wormy and Wiggly i told myself. So i got changed into some suitable clothes and thinking that the thief must be near by set off on my mission to find my new friends... //

//I climbed out my window as quietly as i could knowing i couldn't use the front door. I jumped from the window and landed lightly on the ground. I found another clue once i was on the ground. A note. The note was dated with todays date and it said: //

//Dear John. //

//Today a little girl was seen taking the royal caterpillars home with her. I need you to get them and bring them to me. You know where i am. The girl lives near the lake. She shouldn't be to hard to find. She is only a child so she will not think to wonder how the caterpillars know how to spell. Get those caterpillars i think the child will leave the caterpillars in her bedroom she won't think twice about leaving them in their so go and get them. Make sure you leave no clues. //

//Your friend // //Max // //P.S: Just in case you have forgotten or your brain isn't working the address as to where i am is: 96 Rochester road (the warehouse). //

//Well that was a dead give away i thought, good thing i found it and know where Rochester road is. // //So i went on my way to Rochester road. When i got there i looked for number 96 which was a small warehouse as it turned out. Good thing too really because i didn't have time to sneak through a huge warehouse looking for Wormy and Wiggly. I walked up to the door and listened carefully to find out if any one was inside. I couldn't here any voices so i checked the door. It wasn't. I opened the door slowly just in case it made a noise or it something and crept into the warehouse. As soon as i walked in i saw the two men in the corner of the room. I darted for cover. I couldn't hear what they were saying but i could see one man holding a small cage and i saw him put it roughly on some cardboard boxes and say something to it. I figured it would probably be the caterpillars. I waited for them to leave the room. Then i walked over in the Spy/Ninja way to the caterpillars making sure i wouldn't be seen. I looked around the outside of the cage making sure there wasn't some sort of alarm around it that would go off the minute i picked up the cage... //

//I took a deep breath and lifted the cage expecting a alarm to go off any moment now. No alarm went off and the men didn't come running in. Instead 3 women came running in and started to chase after me as i started to run. I knew i wouldn't be able to out run them, they were older and more fit than me so i hid behind the door as they ran out. One of the women stopped and looked at the door. I thought she was about to discover me just as she turned round and went back. I crept out of the warehouse and walked the route back home. I knew that eventually the men who had taken the caterpillars would figure out it was me who had got them back. But at least i could be more aware this time and i will know this time. I was going to ask my mum to get better security. But no matter what i did i knew they would find a way to get the caterpillars back. But at least this time i would be ready.... //

At our class computer time we used an application on the internet called ' Bomomo '. We had to create an abstract piece of art. Mine is called ' What the Eye Saw '.

Mr. B then gave us a poetry contract, and we got to choose what pass we would like to do. We then had to transfer our poems on to a digital book. We had to add some illustrations of out own. We drew the illustrations on A4 pieces of paper, and then Mr. B scanned them on to the computer. We uploaded it to our digital book. We had to add a variety of pictures including: our own illustrations, google images, & text generators. Down below is my digital book. Check it out!! // ======

__EXPLANATION PODCAST__
<span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #e70467; display: block; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 121%; text-align: center;">My first task was to create an WeeMee avatar that had certain characteristics of myself. I then had to record my explanation of how the eye works. I rehearsed my presentation before I recorded it in garageband. I then used Imovie to create my podcast that included my avatar and my audio presentation. I also learnt how to embed and resize my podcast onto our Wikispace. Below is my podcast. Check it out ...

My topic was about my first aeroplane flight.We had to include a whole heap of similies, onomatapoeia, metaphors, and personification. We then had to choose how we were going to publish the recounts that we had to. We had 4 options to choose from and they were, writing it on the whiteboard, publishing it straight onto the wiki, make a podcast out of it,and create it into a keynote. As you can see below that I decided to publish it onto the wiki. Hope you enjoy!!//

** *__A Flight of my Life__* **
===**<span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Driving to the Durban International Airport I was so scared and depressed that tears poured from my eyes like raindrops falling from the clouds. I was incredibly unhappy to leave my friends and family in South Africa and come to New Zealand, even though I wanted to start a better life. We then had to rush to the check-in counter, I started to feel the absence of my grandparents, of which I was close to. Whilst we were going through the boarding gates I had to say my last good-byes to the friends and family that were there at the airport. I went through the boarding gates with a rainfall of tears,in my eyes getting ready to come out as if it was in a race. **=== ===**<span style="color: #f18f27; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Whilst my dad, brother,and I were boarding the actual plane,I was getting a bit excited to see if the plane looked like what I imagined it to look like. We we being shown to our allocated seats, by the stewardess. The stewardess saw that my brother and I were in tears. She made both of us feel better by inviting us to see the pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit, before the departure.. Plus I got to try on the pilots hat. My dad was there taking photos of us with the hat on, and with the pilot and co-pilot in the cockpit. We started to take a trip back to our seat after going to the cockpit. As we were waiting we saw the seat belt light come on. As the passengers buckled their seatbelts, it sounded as if a million pens were being clicked. I heard the wind turbines on the wings turn on. Soon after, a stewardess started giving us instructions as to what to do in the event of a plane crash and the safety regulations. While she was talking I searched for some gum in handbag ready for the take off. **=== ===**<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">As the plane took of, I put a piece of gum, put it in my mouth, and started to chew it vigorously. I did that because I remembered what my gran had told me, to avoid the stinging pressure of the wind and air, going through my ears. I was really amazed now at the height that the plane was at that we were flying through the clouds. The sun was beaming through the windows, really brightly, as if I was surrounded by a heap of stadium lights. As I looked down i saw that we were going to landing soon. I was getting really nervous about the idea of landing. I started to feel that were going down for a landing. As we landed it, the plane hit the ground hard it felt like a cannonball hitting the ground as hard as possible, KABOOM!! I felt kind of relieved to be on solid ground again. I still have another flight to get to, to continue my journey to New Zealand. **===
