Jahseh And The Murderer

The sky is beautiful, a beaming blue colour that transitions into a pale white. The large mountain is looking down at the cluster of boats sailing away from shore. The bright blue sea is shaded by the emerald trees on the side of the mountain. Jahseh is sitting up in the sky looking down at the boats harmlessly sailing across the sea.

Jahseh used to be a rapper but his life was ended with a tragic death. He is still a legend and is in heaven with the Nototious B.I.G and Tupac. He lived on a good life and has a child named Gekyume Onfroy that will some day look up to him. He was a leader and inspired many young adults to have a better life, he will always be looked upon as one of the best rappers to ever live.

Suddenly there was a big sound and the scene that Jahseh died at flashed in his eyes, it sounded just like the gun that he got shot with. He looked down to a see that part of the water was turning to a pinkish-redish colour... Just like blood and water mixing. The problem played in Jahseh's head for about half a minute and Jahseh realised that it was upto him to do something, if only he could signal someone or something.

Then it hit him like a brick, Jahseh used all the powers in his almighty body to cause a tsunami that will return the wounded body to shore and also scare the murderer enough to run away from the scene and end up near a police with the gun in his hand. he had his eyes shut tight and his teeth biting down so hard he thought his teeth might break. he opened his eyes and the water raised up while going towards the shore. But Jahseh wanted revenge. He closed his eyes once again and he wanted the murderer DEAD. He made huge waves and was trying to drown the murderer... He succeeded!




SLJ, Donald Trump

The current President of the United States of America (U.S.A.) is a man named Donald Trump. He was elected President in 2016. At the time, he promised the American people that he would build a wall between the U.S.A. and Mexico - the country immediately south of the United States. He made this promise because he wanted to stop people from crossing the American-Mexican border. Earlier this year, a migrant caravan (people moving in a large group) came through South and Central America on its way to the Mexican-American border. The people in the caravan were heading to America to find jobs and build a better life for themselves and their families. You can learn more about them in this video. Donald Trump’s plan to build the wall is very controversial (some people strongly agree with his idea and others strongly disagree).
-------
In my opinion, Donald Trump building the wall has some benefits and some disadvantages, and here's why I think that. In mid 2017 Donald Trump claimed that he is going to build a wall to keep Mexicans out. The reason I think this is a good idea is because some of the ‘Mexicans’ are doing things other than just coming in to work and have a better life, these so called Mexicans are going into America and ruining people's lives by doing stuff that I don't even want to talk about. But there are also some bad stuff about building this wall such as, some of the ‘Mexicans’ that are wanting to start a new life.

What Subject? Welsh!

There are alot of subjects offered at Hornby High School, but there are also alot of subjects that are not offered here at Hornby High School that I would enjoy doing, one of which is the language Welsh. The reason that I would like to learn Welsh is because I have always wanted to be able to talk more than one language and I know people that can speak Welsh. Niko Omilana is a famous youtube comedian that speaks Welsh and makes people say inappropriate stuff.

What Country Would I Spend A Holiday In?


Have you ever wondered where you would spend your dream holiday at? Or ever thought about how cool it would be to relax in the sun all day and not have to worry about cold weather and rain? Well, I have and I've came to a conclusion... I would spend my dream holiday in Jeju Island In South Korea. The reason I would go to Jeju Island is because its a really cool destination and alot of tourists go there every year. Did you know the population in Jeju Island is 604,700. Another reason I would like to go there is because the beachs look really cool and really warm. Did you know that Jeju Island is known for its beachs and volcanic landscapes of craters and cavelike lava tubes.

Here are some pictures of Jeju Island -

The NRL Cup Journey

The NRL Winfield Cup recently got given to the Roosters after there dramatic season. The Roosters played storm in the semi finals and won by 8 points leaving them to vs the almight Raiders. Boyde Corner and Jake Friend are the captains of the Roosters, Jarrod Croker and Josh Hodgson are the captains of Raiders...


On the 12th of may the Rooster played Storm for the first time in the season. With James Tedesco back in the league and playing as fullback, he made 35 single tackles and 17 team tackles. Latrell Mitchell is one of the best players in Roosters and probably the best Center in NRL 2019 season.


On the 6th of october the final game of the season kicked off. The game was Raiders vs Roosters and of course I was supporting Sydney Roosters because there just the best team in my opinion. The game was really close the whole way through but in the last 10 minutes there was a pentalty to the roosters for an illegal tackle made by Canberra Raiders.

ORANA PARK !

Yesterday we went to Orana Park. In the morning we met in the Learning Commons to get ready to go to Orana Park. when we arrived to Orana Park, we got into our groups, I was in Group 1, first my groups or the Black and White Lemurs, then we saw the Reptiles they had, Kody and I tried to find  four Frogs but we failed. The Frogs camouflaged with all the leaves in their enclosure. Then we tried to spot a Gecko it was hard to find. Then we went to see the Keas. The Keas enjoyed landing on us and hurting us in ways we did not like! We went to see the Kiwis but sadly they were not in their cage, but in their place was a Morepork / Owl, did you know the Maori name for an l is Ruru. then we went to see other animals such as the Lions and Cheetahs. I like looking at Rhinos because their horns were big. We also fed some giraffes some branches, their tongues were blue. We also saw some gorillas one pushed another gorilla off elige and it fell luckily it didn't die. The oldest gorilla was 16 years of age and his name was Fataki, Fataki has two brothers, I can't remember their names but I like them more than Fataki. Fataki is scary. Next to the Gorillas were the Orangutans, I liked the orangutans because they were Orange. I like to looking at the antelope because they had long horns and it was really cool. I also like the Chickens because they were really goofy. I liked the experience and would happily go again. it was very fun.

Ella West Visit's

Yesterday Ella West came to Hornby High School, Sadly I wasn't here to see her but I heard a bunch of cool things about her visit. She told us a bunch of facts about herself and we learnt alot from her. It sounded like 7/8AL had a wonderful time with her and it seemed like lots of fun.

Here are some fun facts, Ella West write her books in New Zealand but they get published in Australia so it is alot harder to get noticed, Ella West stole the Night Vision cover off the internet and another author also wrote a book with the exact same front cover. Ella West's book Night Vision won award and award, She  won the young adult section of the LIANZA awards and was the young adult children's choice winner in the New Zealand book awards for children and young Adults. A funny fact is that her mum really thinks shes the mum in all of her books published. Did you know that the book Night Vision has an italian version ( its the exact same just in italian ). 


The thing that made Ella West write Night Vision, She watched a documentry about XP ( a genetic disorder ) and It gave her ideas on a cool story, But she had no idea how she was going to finish it, she made it up as she went. Ella West isn't a full time author, She works as a journalist for Southland Times and for some Farming Magazines. The reason she wrote RainFall is becuase one time the Armed Defender Squad was across the road from her house and then she had some fabulous ideas on what to write. Did you know that Ella West writes up to 1000 words a day, so in a week she writes at least 7000 words which is ALOTSo in a year she writes ALOT of words.


Another fact is that Ella West's first book publised was the first book in the Thieves Series. For Ella West she dosen't need quite space, she dosn't get distracted very easily ( which is something I wish I had ). Sadly Ella West's first book she ever wrote professionally never got published ( thats really sad because I would love to read it). Last of all her real name isn't Ella, its Karen Trebilcock. The reason she uses the name Ella West is because if she becomes really famous she can still live her real life and spend time with her family. Here are some photos my teacher took. Overall it sounded like a relly fun time and im sad I missed out.
