Night vision


The impression I get from looking at this book is that it looks like something I’d read and enjoy.

From reading


the blurb on the back I am interested in it because it


sounds like a mystery and it also say on the back that this book is a thriller


Why or why not?


The page i open was page six I found the page to be interesting cause reading

this made me want to read more .




The Author of this book is Ella West. Ella's home is in Australia. In 2015 Ella won the LIANZA Young Adult Award with her book Night Vision. I think that our teacher Mrs Allan chose this author for as because she has read her books. So she thought that we would learn something and enjoy doing it at the same time

At the back of this book it actually say that this book is fiction.
And if it were real then it would be on real life news

I predict that this book will be about a girl whos life has been changed due to genetic condition. Who has also see something that could ether put her life is danger or could save others by telling the truth
A girl named viola has a genetic condition xeroderma pigmentosum

Viola lives on a farm that her mother and farther own

Viola and her mum like to play an instrument cold viola

Her mum plays the viola professionally

She sees a car fire/ deaf

Viola takes the money that was stolen from the guy who was killed

The guy goes back to the forest and finds his money has gone


XP is very rare. It is approximated that one in one million people in the us may have XP. XP appears to be somehow more common in places like Japan, North Africa, and the Middle East.

For people with XP it is a common worry about things like cancer .Because Cancer can develop on the scalp, in the eyes, in other cases on the tip of the tongue. Peoples Studies think that people with XP may also have an increased risk of other types of cancer. Even brain tumors. The eyes of people with XP may be painfully sensitive to UV rays from the sun.

For the people who have XP there eyes are sensitive to the light of some laptops even some light in a house

From reading this book I have learnt about the genetic condition called XP before I read this book I didn't know that was even a thing

Geoff harris tugs at the fat man trying to get him out of the boot of the car once the fat man's body leaves the boot of the car geoff drags the fat man along the ground of the forest with all the pine needle out of the way. Geoff pulls the fat man in the passenger side of the car

I think that the police will find the body and accused viola of the deaf of geoff harris cause she would always go out in the forest at night when know noe was awake

Work with a buddy to create a ‘Top Five’ list of the most important parts of the book. Explain why you chose these.

One experience of mine that I can relate to the book is feeling uncomfortable with something new and being completely unaware of it









I think that the book will end with geoff  treating viola to gives his money back


The new cover for the novel


Imagine you are one of the main characters. What would I do differently?

If i was viola i wouldn’t have taken all of the money. Also I would have

told my mum or the cops about what happened in the forest the night of the fire


set of true/false questions about the book.

A girl named viola has XP

Viola saw geoff sett the car on fire and saw him bury the money and viola did not take the money

Viola is 10 years old

They live on a farm

Viola was caught by geoff

Viola never left the house

Violas mum stays up and wait till she gets home


Give your book a ranking out of 5


1 2 3 4





I gave this book a rating of five because then it comes to book that don’t

really interest me, it takes me a long time to finish then or I just lose my focus

Drama



This Tuesday for drama we made paper bag puppets. I was in a group with Shontelle, Hope and I.
At first we did a poster of the four aspects of hauora but to do with food and how it if good for all four sides. later on we started to do our puppets I made sponge bob, I love sponge bob because He is weird like me and he is always happy and sometimes sad but not really.
Before we started hope had to go to the dental van once she left i thought of sponge bob and that is how I got the idea of making sponge bob.         
 Mine 

                                                                                                                              Hopes
                                                                                                                  Shontelle


We started to think about 1 aspects at first, which we thought would be the easiest. That is the Physical well-being, eating healthy foods such as vegetables; fruits and lots of protein would help you to keep your energy  , therefore, making you active. The next aspect that we looked at is Taha Whanau / Family, eating home made recipe your family . Foods may be a way to socialise with people better, like at gatherings, festivals or just hanging out. The third aspect that we started to do is Mental/Emotional well-being, this could connect to the whanau as well. This could be that after being tired from work or school; knowing that you have a family that takes care of you and makes you food, would contribute to how you feel emotionally. The last aspect which was Taha Wairua or Spiritual well-being, we looked at last. The foods could connect to your religion, an example of this can be not eating meat; as well as eating certain types of foods during parts of the year.  That is how we think eating healthy food help all 4 aspects of Hauora.

Charlesworth reserve

This week on Wednesday some year 7 & 8 went to Charlesworth reserve. We went there to plant a lot of native plants hoping to bring back NZ native birds.
Around 9.30 all the classes got together in J6 and walked to the bus but ten students from each class got to go in the van voluntarily .
Do you know how Charlesworth reserve got it's name? It got it's name from the firs person to step foot on the area. Captain William Charlesworth.
The bus had a bit of trouble getting into the car park so the bus driver tried to reverse it didn't go very well, A wooden pole got injured. It took a bit of time but we got out of there fine and took another way. Once we got to the others we had morning tea. Minuets later we were introduce to our instructor Andrew. He lead us to where we were going to plant the native plant rush.Image result for rush plantAltogether we plated a few hundred actually a lot more then that. After we had finished planting we when to pick up rubbish around mitre 10 ferrymead. There wasn't a lot because mitre 10 had pick some up before us.
