The Strength of Roots Summary

This is a summary on a book that we have been reading.

This story is about a time when a boy was in Samoa, and he was walking through the plantation when an earthquake struck. He still walked for a minute until the tsunami struck Samoa. For some reason he flew high up into a tree and was strapped with roots. When it was all over, he came down and saw a girl down in the creek. He realised he wasn’t the only one who survived.

This story was written after the devastating earthquake and tsunami that had struck the South Pacific on the 29th September 2009. 190 people, especially kids were killed in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga. Most of these details are based on a true event.

James decided to paint his house. His bedroom walls are 4 metres long and 3 metres high. There are 4 four bedrooms in his house. The lounge is 6 metres long and 3 metres high, the kitchen wall is 3 metres long and 3 metres high, the laundry, toilet and shower area is 6 metres long and 3 metres high.

1. If 6 litres of paint can cover  10 square metres of the wall, how much paint should James buy to If paint all the walls of his house?
2. Paint costs $6.00  per litre, how much will James pay for the paint?

All of his bedroom walls equal up to 48 Square Metres.

Lounge : 18 Square Metres

Kitchen : 6 Square Metres

Laundry, Toilet and Shower : 54 Square Metres

This all equals 126 Square Metres, rounding to the nearest tenth is 130 SM. 130 SM divided by 10 equals 13. This means we need 13 Litres of paint and each paint litre costs $6.00. $6.00 x 78 Litres = $468 for paint.

Sera, Riq and Dak had taken some adventures at Viking Land. Most of their shoes were filled with Mud and it had started to rain, they had noticed they were standing inside a weather - beaten cornfield. They had a very big discussion about the White House and The SQuare, no one much knew about the SQuare. They a bit of an extra adventure and they found a code.  A + (Bowl Emoji) + (Fish Emoji - F) + (Sun Emoji) + (Paper Emoji - L) Shark Fin Emoji - F D + Angry Face Emoji. There is still a more accurate adventure.

"A Narrow Escape

A Narrow Escape

Waking up inside a weird, furious and cold odd room, I heard a few unusual sounds creeping up into the room I was in.. Suddenly I sat there and froze for at least one full second as a creature entered the room with horror, I was 100% scared on what would happen to me. BOOM! The creature was mysteriously gone and I was still there anxious.

I crept down the tall towering stairs as quickly and quietly I could. Looking around the very humongous house frightened me. As I was coming down the stairs, I fell down each stair hurting with pain. “Hey, She woke up, What a relieve” Shouted one of the giant creatures, “Where am I, What are you, You all” I shouted will fear all around.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Again no sight of the creatures but, BOOM! I had now moved into a barn which was filled with very cute and cuddly animals but then again BOOM! I switched from being into a barn but into a huge party room, which I liked. I met a few people, Makaya, Thomas, Daya and Oscar for some reason I knew I didn’t fit into that party squad. I explored around the room to see how and why I was being able to teleport from place to place, I saw a big red button…

Having the nerve to touch the button was also frightening but that took me to where I am now.. : In Dubai. I live in New Zealand but didn’t know how to find my way out of Dubai, as citizens of Dubai could not actually see me. Boom! I teleported into a house, it seemed like my house in New Zealand, very green and spaceful. I found out it was a duplicate that was especially made for me. I did the same thing I did at the Party Room. While spending time at the duplicate house, I found the red button, but there was a green button too. As I was thinking to myself I said a few words “Which button should I pick”, “Think of a game”, “If it was a red button what would happen, If it was a green button what would happen”.

I picked the green button because I knew it would be accurate. Ching! Boom! Ching! I woke up entirely and it was all a dream “Oh man, I wish it was real, but that was a Narrow Escape”

The End!
