HPV and 11 year old jabs

  HPV and 11 year old jabs

Today I had my HPV and 11 year old jabs... 

It started off with me and my friends just doing our work and a lady come into classroom and calls for 6 children in our class Nikau, Jacob B, Rykar, Ruby, Aofie and Me:( I have no idea that I was going to get 2 Jabs today. The lady told us what was going on and I was about to cry I don't want to get my jabs done because I have a phobia called Trypanophobia (Fear of needles) when we go to the tech centre there were another 3 ladies the one that explained why we have to get the jabs and the other 2 were the ladies that were putting the needles in us. The lady at the front of the class explains why we get these jabs the reason is because it stops cancer in your privates and warts also. The ladies at the back asks for 3 children to got first and the boys insisted after 15 seconds. The boys were excited for the jab one boy started to cry after the lady talks to him and gives him a hug he gets his jab he was alright after that. Then 1 of the boys jabs were done and they asked who wants to go next, Ruby stood up and said she will go next then Aofie Then Me... I said to the that I have already got the needle just to get out of it because I am afraid of needles. I stood up and said what I said and started crying because I didn't want the jab. and then one of the ladies gave me a hug I was still crying. And then I sat down (still crying of course) and then another lady sat down beside me and told me about why we get chocolates after the jab (because it helps numb the pain so you dont feel it a lot but you still feel a little pain) And then the lady told me to put my head on her shoulder to feel more relaxed and chilled. I had my first shot done then my second everyone else had 1 shot except me and Aofie:) That means we get 2 chocolates and then we had to wait 20mins for them to see if anyone has an allergic reaction. After we waited 20mins we went back to class:)) 

And that was my review of the jab ;D I hope you enjoyed my story of my jabs.

Read theory | Before School

Before school | poem 

   Written by Read theory

(Poem below)

In the morning, my alarm clock rings. It’s loud! The sound wakes me and I hit the snooze button. Thankfully, the noise stops. I stretch but it just makes me yawn—I don’t feel very energetic. I want to pull the blanket back over my head, but I don’t. I get out of bed. I have lots of things to do before school.

First, I have to change my clothes. So I take off my dirty clothes and toss them on the floor. Then I go to the closet and find my favorite red pants. I also find a white shirt with red fish on it. I like fish, but I can’t find any red socks. Oh, well. I choose orange socks instead. At least they match my orange shoes.

My mom comes in and says, “I don’t see a maid around here! You should pick up your clothes. And make your bed, too.” Reluctantly, I obey. I put my clothes in the bin and make my bed neatly. Then I get a reward. Mom says, “When you get home from school, you can ride your bicycle.” I love to ride my bicycle!

After I brush my teeth and hair, I sit at the breakfast table. For breakfast, my dad prepares a feast. I eat eggs, toast, and a banana. Delicious! Then I drink a glass of milk all the way to the bottom. Breakfast is my favorite meal.

I'm not the only one who needs to eat; my kitten needs breakfast, too. Since she is my pet, feeding her is my duty. She really likes milk, but I give her cat food. After she eats, we play on the floor. I throw a ball and she runs after it. Sometimes she even catches it with her paws!

Then it's time to go to school. Quickly, I grab my green backpack and head out the door. I don’t want to be late because music class is first. I don’t want to miss it because love to sing!

 

 

Today on my school schedule I had to complete 3 read theory's and post about one that I completed, and here is one poem/short story. 

This app is for school kids to help in their knowledge of remembering and or reading. 

This poem/story is about a person that is describing their morning routine using descriptive  language:)

Setting: The setting of this film is at Satsuki and Mei's new house in the country.

Summary: 

2 sisters Satsuki and Mei and their father Tatsuo Kusakabe move into a new house in the country and they meet Granny

Perimeter workbook | learning form home | activity 2

Today for learning at home I have recently posted a DLO about how to figure out the perimeter of a circle(circumference) and this is the measurements/ perimeter workbook I was talking about.

I hope you learnt something to if so please comment to tell me so.

I hope you enjoy because I know I did.
Have a go yourself at home:) I'd love to see what your answers are:)

circumference DLO | Learning from home

Today during Learning from home we have activities we have to complete and the easiest activity for me was perimeter. The reason for this DLO is because I had a little bit of trouble understanding the circumference because I have not done perimeter for a while so this DLO is for people that are having some troubles like me to understand. I have tried my best to explain it simply so you can understand properly.

-Hope you enjoy, Taylor

Book review: The knife of never letting go

The knife of never letting go

  Author: Patrick Ness
Blurb:

PRENTISSTOWN IS NOT LIKE OTHER TOWNS!!

Everyone can hear everyone else's thoughts in an overwhelming, never-ending stream of noise. Just a month away from the birthday that will make him a man, Todd and his dog, Manchee---whose thoughts Todd can hear too, whether he wants to or not--stumble upon an area of complete silence. They find that in a town where privacy is impossible, something terrible has been hidden--a secret so awful  that Todd and Manchee must run for their lives. But how do you escape when your pursuers can hear your every thought.

Recommendation- I would recommend this book for 11+ and out of 5 starts I would rate a 4 1/2 stars because it is a little frightening.
