Civil Defence (My Family Plan) - by Aleenah



Supplies are good but my family could also reduce the risk of our property/home. I think my family should do this because natural disasters are to happen with no prediction. It's better to be prepared.

A Memory - by Aleenah

A Memory
The anger and disappointment of my regretful memory kept showing itself in my dreams. It always made me feel foolish.

thread yarn needle free photoI can see myself bored and entering my parents bedroom. On the sheets of their bed, lay my mother's sewing equipment. Colorful threads and silver, pointy needles were encased in a translucent box. The box I now despise and all its contents.

They were usually underneath the cushions of our couches in the living room. As I proceeded to put the thread through the small hole of the needle, I kept getting soft aches. In the process, the needle and my left hand kept colliding into each other. I gave slight screams each time it happened. I was sweating with frustration and anger.

After minutes of agony, I gave up regretting those moments. I still have a scar from that memory. I will continually live to regret and be embarrassed by what had happened.

Line Graph - by Aleenah


This line graph represents the temperatures of January from low to high. The blue line is the highest temperature of each day and the red is the lowest temperature. I learnt that the highest temperature was 27 degrees and the lowest was 12 degrees. I also learnt how to input data into Google Sheets.

Why Is Having Electricity In Our Homes Important? (Practice Writing) - by Aleenah

WALT: Use the correct structure for the purpose of writing an explanation.

Why Is Having Electricity In Our Homes Important?
Electricity plays an important role in keeping our homes warm, lit, and powered for technology making our lives easier.

Electricity activates our power for technology. We need it for our gadgets to connect to the WiFi. The internet holds useful information we don't know. It also holds a great deal of entertainment and many more activities to do. Electricity plays an important part in keeping us informed.

Heaters are powered by electricity. Warming appliances ensure that we are warm in a cold season/weather.  Heaters are easier to use than heating yourself by a fire, it is also safer.

Electricity is the source which activates lights in homes. Electrical lights are easier to use than other battery-operated lighting objects (e.g. flashlights). Light bulbs brighten up a room while lamps, oil lanterns and candles only shines a part of a room. We need light in our homes so it won't be dark and we can see to work, read and play.

Heaters, lights, and WiFi/technology is all supported by electricity. These things are what makes our lives easier which makes electricity worthy to have.

Euphrasie Barbier - by Aleenah

Euphrasie Barbier

Euphrasie was a passionate and determined nun. She was the founder of the Mission Sisters, nuns who support the needy. Euphrasie was most known for her selfless actions caring for those in need. 
Her good deeds led her to becoming a successful nun who created schools across the world, especially NZ. 

Euphrasie was determined and ambitious about what she did. Euphrasie had a lot of empathy in which she used to look after the world and its people. She was an ambitious, determined, confident and very faithful nun. She remained faithful to God all her life.
If I had her empathetic trait, I would use it for looking after my surroundings and other people.
