Back to earth and into the jungle

Movie Plot Challenge

 Today i watched Disney Pixar movie Luca. I decided to document what happens and find out the plot. It was fun and i enjoyed watching Luca, but the tricky part was that i would watch it and then i would forget to write one part and i would be writing down the bit i needed to write down but another part i would be writing down the bit that happened before that. 

Luca Plot

At first we see a ship gliding through

the water and they are trying to fish.

Luca jumps over as they are terrified and

start to push the net down. Then we see Luca underwater. His mum calls

his name and he heads back to her.

He has his meal, and swims back to the fish.

We see a diver come up behind him as he shrieks in fear.

Turns out, the diver was a fish named Alberto.

He gets rocks and carves into them to make a

human-like rock figure. He names him Smoogum,

And goes back out of water and Alberto teaches

him how to walk. They make a handshake and he

shows Luca his house, air, and gravity, and falls

through a bush. They build a type of bike and

Luca heads back home. The next day he goes

back with Alberto and they ride it down a cliff,

Alberto flings into the water. They make another

one and ride together. Alberto teaches him to say

“Silencio Bruno!” They nearly fly into a rock as

Luca flings it apart. They look at the moon from the

top of Alberto’s house. His parents get really mad when

he gets back home. He goes to Alberto for advice.

They then swim to Vespa town happily, when a

boat passes them. They go into vespa town and

they come across senior vespa. There are kids

that kick the ball to Luca and he kicks the ball

back and senior vespa comes along and nearly

turns Luca into a fish but Giulia saves them.

They go back to her house and Luca accidentally

throws water at Alberto and they slip under the

table. They agree to have a job and stay in

Giulia’s hideout. They go fishing with Giulia’s

dad. But the cat is there. They catch tons of fish

and run back to sign up to the tryathlon. They

train and finish when senior vespa tries to crash

into their boat. They stay in Giulia’s hideout once

again. They go over the roofs and look through

the telescope. He goes back to her house and

Alberto shows Luca his drawing. Senior Vespa

comes and Luca points the spear at him. They

head back and in the morning they practice.

Next they fish. The next day Giulia gets them

coffee and they practice more. They ride the

bike back to her house and Alberto gets mad

and rides the bike into the water. They argue

and Giulia comes back, and Alberto shows

Giulia his true form. Alberto swims away from

them. Luca goes to find him. Luca goes back

but Alberto doesn’t want him there. Alberto told

Luca his dad left. Luca decides to do it himself and

when they get to the biking Alberto comes to help

Luca, but it starts raining. Luca helps Alberto

from getting captured and they nearly get hit

by senior vespa’s spear but they don’t and

senior vespa calls them monsters, but Giulia’s dad

declares them as winners and they are very happy.

Luca’s parents come back and they get back together

as a team. Luca’s parents and Giulia’s dad have

dinner together. Giulia goes back to school and

Luca’s parents come and tell him he can go.

Alberto stays behind. Luca hops on the

train and says his last goodbyes to Alberto. 

I think the plot is about friendship and how

sometimes you have to leave someone behind.

Main idea Cat Debate - Cats are "Evil" or "Misunderstood"

Cat debate- After listening to the podcast write down the evidence/reasons why people think cats are “Evil” or “Misunderstood”

Cats are Evil 

They scratch and bite.

They tear up furniture.

They bring in bugs,insects and birds. 

They hiss

Cats are Misunderstood

The people that complain about cats probably don’t even have one themselves.

Cats are loving and make good companions.

Cats live for longer than most dogs and when they sit on your lap they pur and meow. 

Summary: What you believe and why… I believe cats are misunderstood because they are not at all “Feral beasts” They are loving companions that like to be a part of your everyday life. They love to accompany you when you are sad.

Leap poem

Riddles, and visualisation

 Use your visualisation skills to figure out what the riddle is trying to describe. Add a photo of the answer in the box on the right. 

I am known as a king The jungle’s where I reign It is hard to tame me And I have a large mane
I travel very slowly When gliding along the ground Maybe my shell weighs me down In your garden I am found
I like to use my long tongue To eat leaves from tops of trees I don’t have to climb up though With my long neck it’s a breeze
Voices boom from the big speakers People shuffle to their big red seats and sit down The smell of popcorn is all around Where am I?
I have four legs and though they are short I can eat any predator with a snap and a chomp! I live in lakes and rivers, I can swim very fast I have many rows of teeth, watch me creep and creep
A stallion’s a male A female is called a mare You can ride on one of these On a carousel at a fair
I like to hop around I’m a tadpole when I’m young I am green and I croak And catch flies with my long tongue
If you see one when you’re camping It might give you a big fright They can be black, brown or grizzly And pandas are black and white
Some types slither on the ground And some can live up in the trees Adders, vipers and cobras What kind of animals are these?

Week nine writing - Dear Auckland council

 

Week 9 Title: dear Auckland council

Dear Auckland council the new houses are bad because there ugly and homeless people still can’t live there because they cannot afford it. It is also bad because it is getting rid of trees and birds nests. I don’t like them because they do have more houses but the people that live in them should go back to were they came from.

I think that I should try and make the stories the same length.

Week eight writing - Superman's dilema

 

Week 8 Title: Superman's dilema

Despite being a brave and strong man that saves lives, even superman has problems. He loves his job, who wouldn't? Saving people is great. Suddenly the calm atmosphere of walking around the city had been interrupted by a call, the person said “please come my cat is stuck in a tree with my child. Normal people call the fire department but not people that live in this city. He went and got them out of the tree. He had been doing lots of stuff today, like rescuing people. “It is very exhausting,” he said. But the person thanked him anyway. He flyed around the cold airy city and finds trouble. There was a man throwing bowling balls everywhere, he swooped down like a hawk and landed on his feet like a cat. The man jumped back shouting “superman!?!?” superman put his hands on his hips and said “that's right!” the man ran off in fear. Superman picked up all the bowling balls and returned them to the bowling club. Superman started walking around the city again making sure no one was in danger. There wasn’t any trouble for a long time after that.

Week seven writing - The dust storm

 

Week 7 Title: The dust storm

Today on the middle school playground I was on the monkey bars when I saw pieces of bark flying in the air. I thought it was someone throwing bark so i didn’t worry about it. When i went down the slide there were people climbing up the slide and I said “why are you climbing up the slide?” they screamed “there’s a tornado!” but if i wanted to see it there was one problem, i was going down the slide and they were going up… i waited for them to squeeze past me and slid down the slide to take a look and saw leaves and dust swirling around, a bit of dust got in my eyes and i saw mrs gavender. I was shocked because there had not been a dust storm in New Zealand for a long time. But within a matter of seconds it was gone, it wasn’t long before the bell rang. It was pretty weird. 

Week six writing - the falling sand spheres

 

Week 6 Title: The falling sand spheres 

I went to the beach on Saturday with my friend Emma and we saw these big spherical shaped things while we were walking. I sat on it and fell through it because it was sand. I got a wet bum. We went to a nearby ice cream stall. I got an ice block and emma got a chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles. we went swimming in the ocean. My mum was taking a photo for instagram with a dog filter and she thought that the big circle was a glitch in the filter. Then she looked behind her and screamed. One of them fell on Emma's head but it disintegrated. The next day I found a pile of sand and a broken window. I told my dad and he went to his car to try and fix it. There was a big clump of sand on his car so he had to go into the car wash. We fixed the window and my brother asked where his bird went. We found that Cleo had escaped because there was another one of the circle things on her cage.
