How to be kind in 5 steps) Extension

Task Description: Last term in extension we have been learning all about kindness and trying to make kindness going viral. I know this was last term but this week and next week in extension we are just trying to finish off our work and if we do than we can then finally move over to what were learning this term. For this task we had to create a story of what kindness shows or how could we make someone show kindness like me, because in this story I talk about a young girl called Bella and hr best friend Helen and Bella is very mean and Helen is very kind so like the opposite of her. My favourite part about this story was the ending because it just really made me happy to see, Oh wait I can’t tell you, you’ll have to find out.

How to be kind in 5 steps

Once upon a time not long ago there was a young girl called Bella who loves to be MEAN, to be honest that was everything she was in love with and it was even her favourite hobby to do. On Bella’s 8th birthday she wished that she wanted to be more mean than before. Who cares about that lets move on. On the next day at morning tea at school Bella has a best friend and her best friend is called Helen and Helen is the total opposite of Bella and that’s because Bella is rude, mean, and all those mean and unkind things. Helen is always happy, kind and she can sometimes be shy with other people or kids around her.

That’s when one day at lunchtime Bella felt like doing something mean. The thing she chose to do was take her whole entire classes writing books and throw them all in the stinking old bin to see if her classmates will find what she just did. By the time eating time was done Bella went to see how Helen was up to. When Bella got there Helen was curious why Bella was talking so long for her to come, Like look Helen was waiting for Bella for a long time for Bella to eat with her. While they were eating Helen asked Bella in an interesting way, ‘’Why were you talking for quite a long time’’?? At that moment Bella wasn’t scared to tell her because she was a softie and Bella can just beat her up so, Bella confisted and just told her what she did. On the other hand Helen was really mad like her face was red like a tomato that was going to blow up into some tomato sauce. After Bella told her the whole story Helen wanted to scream like a lion but she said to Bella in a loud voice, ‘’WHY DID YOU DO THAT AND WHY’’. Bella was left speechless because Bella never in her whole life heard Helen scream at her like that. When they were done with that all Helen promised Bella that if she would be kind to at least one person in their class than she would give her five dollars.

When Bella got home she was really frustrated because she never in her life been kind, so she wouldn’t really know how to do that. The first thing that popped into her mind was to research how to be kind. One the first that she saw first was carrying someone’s bags, but Bella didn’t really want to do that so she thought of complimenting someone, which I think is a good idea. The next day at morning tea eating Bella saw Helen and told her what she had researched about and at that moment Helen was in absolute shock because she thought that Bella was lying to her but never knew that she would actually do it. At that moment Helen dragged Bella to one of her classmates and told her to show her what she researched about and prove that it was a kind one. When Bella went to this boy in her class let’s call him Ben. Bella just walked up to Ben and told him that his red hat looked really nice on him and that he looked like a model. When Helen and Ben saw that they both were about to cry because she never knew that Bella was actually going to do that. At the end Helen tried her best to give Bella the five dollars but Bella refused to take it because she told her that being kind is her thing now and it always will be. For somehow Helen didn’t want to keep it either so they both wanted to give it to the homeless or charity.

I know that this story tells me and you that we always need to be kind to everyone around us and even the people we know like our siblings, parents, and even to friends and family.
 

Writing) Holiday

During the holidays my parents were planning to take me and my siblings to America. When I found out that we were going there I was super happy because all over youtube and maybe tik tok, I see a lot of cool things that you could buy like drinks, foods and even clothes. By the next day at around five in the morning I woke up and saw my Dad trying to wake me up to brush my teeth and wash my face. Suddenly when I just got up I then saw my Mum packing all my clothes and my siblings were already in the car waiting for me. Like I was so confused that they were waiting for me, because I am always the first sibling to be ready first but I guess I lost again, even to a seven year old. By the time my Mum and Dad were ready I jumped into the car and we then left at around five thirty because our flight was going to leave at six o’clock. After around ten or twenty minutes we finally made it to the airport and had just a little snack, my snack I chose was takis because they were just really yummy. At around six fifteen we had to board onto the plane. I didn’t really know how long the flight was because I was watching the movie ‘’train to busan’’. Then I fell asleep for almost the whole entire flight then woke up when we had to get off the plane, and it made me really scared because my Mum and Dad were going to leave but they then stopped walking because I knew that they would lose me and I would have to look for them. 

 

When I finally catched up to my parents they told me that I would have to go say hello to my uncle because we were going to be staying with them for the weekend. I was really happy to see my cousins because they once came to New Zealand to have a look at what it looked like, and they thought it looked amazing because they said it was really green because of all the mountains and trees. The next day at around seven o’clock my Dad woke me up telling me that we were going to a shop called costco to eat burgers and fries with even hot dogs. AT first I was quite confused because I just woke up and I have never in my life been to an American shop before, but I was still really excited. 

 

When all my cousins and family were ready we went straight to the shop and sighed in and brought some things like bread, milk and eggs for the other days. My favourite part about that day was when I got to spend time with my cousins and my family, it was very fun. On the other days I was having a lot of fun because I went to watch movies and meet others of my family that I have never met before, but at the end of the day before going back to our home land we went to the beach it was really nice but hot, I didn’t really like I hotness because I felt like a hot tomato that was going to blow up.
