The Prophet Isaiah was the first of the four major Prophets. His career began with an angel burning their lips. The seraph (angel) took a piece of coal from the altar and placed it on Isaiah’s mouth. It is traditionally believed that the Prophet Isaiah was killed by King Manasseh, by being cut in half with a wooden saw.

Here is my DLO is The Prophet Isaiah:

    Goku and Krillin have been training hard at Master Roshi’s island, focusing on their speed and strength for the next World Martial Arts Tournament. Bulma arrives in her jet-powered Capsule Car with urgent news: a powerful, but silly, new villain has appeared! This villain, perhaps a strange leftover from the Red Ribbon Army, has managed to steal one of the Dragon Balls and has hidden it high up a tricky mountain range guarded by bizarre traps. Bulma had announced it at the last minute and Goku already planned to go back to his house, so Goku decided to try to fight him or her. When he found friends to help him.

  Goku had to head back to his house so that he could keep it clean and safe just in case he would have nowhere else to stay when he’s on a mission. While traveling, Goku found two girls, one was picking strawberries and one trying to hypnotise one of their subjects. Goku decided to introduce himself. “Hi! Who are you guys and what are your names?” Goku yelled from afar. They also screamed at him to come down because they couldn’t hear him “What!? I can’t hear you!.” Goku hopped out of Kintoun, the girl picking up strawberries introduced herself first. “The name’s Hokkaido! The other one’s Mochii,”Hokkaido said, and she also invited Goku for dinner.

  As soon as they arrived at Hokkaido and Mochii’s house, Goku checked the fridge first. Then, two short people went downstairs looking upset. Mochii went and introduced them to Goku “this is Kinji and Kenji, they recently lost their third triplet, Kanji. Me and Hokkaido are still trying to find where he is”. “Nice hair, you two!” Goku said, trying to cheer them up. Kinji just stared in disbelief (he’s bald with one strand of hair) Hokkaido responded by saying “How does Kenji have nice hair?! He only has one strand of hair!” “heyyyy!” Kenji said, offended. Goku then went silent for a bit. “Oh hey! I can help you guys with Kanji!” Goku said, forgetting about his original task, Hokkaido had reminded Goku that it was dangerous. Hokkaido and Mochii wanted to help Goku so they agreed to come and follow along.Goku told Hokkaido and Mochii to hop onto Kintoun but Hokkaido thought it was dangerous so she opened a capsule, a bubble appeared and started floating. Mochii then opened a capsule herself, a flat platform shaped like a star poofed in front of her. Mochii then hopped on the platform and it started floating just like the bubble.

 After a few hours, they had reached the hideout.“sighh, all that sitting down made me hungry…”Goku said, as his stomach rumbled. Mochii pointed at a banana tree, “I mean, you can eat those if they’re ripe…!”she said. Goku hurried to the tree and ate all of them in 5 minutes, they all stared at Goku in disturbance. “Okay, I’m genuinely concer-”Hokkaido said, being interrupted by Kinji, “HOW DID YOU EAT THAT FAST?!” he screamed. Everything then went dark, no one could see anything. They heard a mischievous voice,“well, well, well, it seems like I have some visitors here!”. Goku couldn’t detect where the noise was coming from, the voice was coming from all over the hideout. “Hehehehh” Mochii grinned, as she pulled out a flashlight. “Show yourself!” Goku said. “Got it!” Kinji said as the lights turned back on. Then a cat corpse appeared, it was being puppeted by something. Its limbs were held and controlled with a string, its eyes pale white.“You have to fight this puppet first, before you meet me”, the voice said. Hokkaido took her staff, Mochii pulled out her hypnosis pendulum, Goku took his nyoibo and Kenji took out his toy sword, so did Kinji. Then, they saw  a gigantic dango sword and the puppet started to use it. Swoosh, swing! The dead cat corpse waved the weapon around, trying to aim for Kenji.”Kenji don’t lose your last strand of hair!”Hokkaido said. “HEY! Don’t be mean, that’s not nice!” Kenji yelled jokingly. 

  “Isn’t that…Dango?!” Mochii said, “WHAT!? THAT’S DANGO”Kenji said while crying. “That was my childhood friend”. “Don’t worry Kenji, we could wish him back with the dragon balls” Goku said. “Huh? Dragon Balls? What are those?” Kinji questioned while trying to hit Dango with his weapon. Then Dango tried to aim for  Hokkaido “It’s y0Ur F4ULt Th3Y bUIlt M3 l1k3 ThI5…! Y0u W1LL P4Y”the corpse said in a ghostly voice. The machine the mysterious person used suddenly died, “What happened? it stopped!” Mochii said.  “ You have to fight these horrible looking things now, heh”. Three goblins suddenly started throwing Kinji to the roof. Then the other three tried getting Mochii and Hokkaido’s weapons. Goku had an idea “ I can use Kintoun so I can get past these ugly goblins”Goku yelled. “ Oh, yeah…! Use your yellow cloud thingy, I’m sure it’ll help!”Kinji said. Goku hopped onto Kintoun and drove past the goblins. “Kinji, Kenji! You distract them, Hokkaido and I will defeat them, okay?”Mochii screamed from across the hideout. “Tick..tok….tick..tok….” went Mochii’s weapon. Mochii’s specialty was hypnotising people. “Hehehe! Now DIE!” she said while making them walk towards Hokkaido. Hokkaido used her staff to freeze the goblins. Then, Kinji and Kenji slashed them with their  toy swords. “Hehehe…HEHEHEHEEEE! Mehehee!” Mochii chuckled. “ We have to go find Goku…!” said Hokkaido. They then went flying in search of Goku.

   Meanwhile, Goku was trying to defeat Kanji, the oldest “evil” triplet. “YOU’LL NEVER DEFEAT ME! One day, the whole world will be my toys, my puppets, and that includes YOU!” Kanji said. “But you have a toy sword..”Goku replied. “I-i- uhm… IT DOESN’T MATTER! You’ll regret saying that when you’re one of my subjects!”. “Shush you meanie”Goku cried. Kanji tried aiming for Kintoun, but he missed. Goku swung his nyoibo to grab Kanji by the shirt, Kanji was then hanging on the nyoibo. “Let me down now! I command you to, NOW!” Kanji said while raging. Kanji heard a voice from above“KANJI! UP HERE!”. Kenji and Kinji had spotted him from above. “Kenji, Kinji! I missed you two. Did you see my puppet! I made it myself!”Kanji cried. “Isn’t that Dango?”Kenji questioned, “Yeah..! How did you know?”. Kinji and Kenji were shocked. “You mean you turned our old friend into a puppet?! Kanji, you can’t just turn people into puppets. The whole world can’t just be your toy!”. “Why not?” Kanji asked. “They’re not good actions. I know you get bored very easily, but that’s no reason to kill people! Right, Kenji?”Kinji said. “Exactly! People are just trying to live their lives, not be controlled and turned into puppets!”Kenji responded. “Oh…sorry…I didn’t know. I just wanted to surprise you guys. “ I promise I’ll turn Dango back! I’ll do it right now!”. The two then forgave Kanji for his actions, even though it caused them a lot of trouble.“You better!” Kinji said with a smile. They then went back to the hideout to restore Dango. 

  When they reached the hideout, Kanji made some potions to revive Dango. They put her in the machine and pulled the lever.  “Wha…what happened?”Dango said, half awake. “YOU TRIED TO KILL US YOU-”Mochii said jokingly. “Who’s  this kid?”Dango asked, “Hi! I’m Goku, hmm..you look like puar!”Goku said. “ Puar? That’s my brother…” Dango answered. “I’m sorry I turned into a puppet..” Kanji said. “Oh! That’s ok!”. They all said their farewells and headed back to their perspective places.

~THEN THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER! YAYY!~

Yesterday (Nov 13),  Room 7 learned how the human ear works and what happens inside of it. We watched a video talking all about our ears, it was very interesting and told us about things we never knew! They even explained how some other animal ears worked. Bird’s actually do have ears, they’re just covered by feathers. Bird feathers are soft, but the reason why they “protect” a birds ear is to actually prevent anything from going inside their ear. Here is my DLO about what’s going on inside your ear:

For the past few weeks, our class studied some episodes of Dragon Ball. In those episodes, there was a lot of something called “foreshadowing”.

Foreshadowing is when something gives clues about what will happen in the future. For example, one of the episodes we watched showed two specific characters who we haven’t seen in the past episodes (one named Fortuneteller Baba and the other one had a cat mask on). Master Korin then mentioned that the things/characters that Goku just saw were from the past, present and future. Since we haven’t seen those two before, it means that they were from the future.  Another example is when Mercenary Tao used a power to zap Goku. When he zapped him, he said “dodonpa”. This might be telling us that we would see someone else use this ability in the future.

Foreshadowing tells you only a bit about the future. If they just straight up spoiled the show, there would be no reason to watch it anymore because you’d know what would happen. It tells you some of the exciting part that people would want to watch and not any of the “boring” bits (such as filler episodes to make the show longer). The whole point of foreshadowing viewers/fans more interested in the show. Foreshadowing creates a lot of suspense and tension making you curious of what will happen next. When you reached the plot that was foreshadowed, it makes people think “oh, I should’ve seen that coming”. An example is that when Goku was fighting the cat-mask person, he new almost everything about Goku. I thought “how does this person know Goku? Perhaps they are related to Goku somehow”. Turns out, the cat-mask person was actually Goku’s Grandpa who had passed.

What do you think about foreshadowing? Does it make a show more interesting or would you rather already know what would happen?

Have you ever wondered why you parents, relatives or other people you know like to save water? Well then, watch me and my friends (Ruzzel) video all about saving water.

We hope you liked our video and will do all these things to save water.

Today (Aug 8), we were assigned to do a reading activity. In the Dragon Ball book, Bulma had a motorbike and her own house in the adventure. She brought it all by bringing this case with 12 capsules in it. each capsule had an item of her choice that she could use in order to help her with her adventure. Which is why we had to choose what would be in each capsule for the activity.

The 12 I chose for it were a notebook, camera, food and water, book, house, phone, weapon, medicine, bike, money, umbrella and more capsules.  The notebook was for taking notes and drawing when i’m bored. A camera so that I could take photos of interesting things. The food and water for hunger and in case i’m dehydrated. The book for entertainment. A house to stop and rest anywhere and other stuff. A phone in case I get lost and so I could access a map at any time. A weapon for defense when there might be a wild creature or others. Medicine for just in case I get sick. Bike for transportation. Money just In case I find a shop that has something I need. An umbrella for keeping dry in the rain. Then even more capsules for keeping extra stuff such as rare plants I find on the way, etc. It was really fun doing the activity. The hard part was trying to figure out which items to swap out with other more useful stuff (which is another reason I chose more capsules).

This morning, room 7 and 8 went to Due Drop Center (Manukau) to watch the movie Tina. I had to wake up early since we had to reach school by 7:45. Looking back, I think I should’ve woken up earlier because I was still a few minutes late.

When we entered the bus, me, Ruzzel and Samantha decided to sit together. The ride there was long. Ruzzel mentioned it was an hour, but I think it was 38-45 minutes. Perhaps it was because we made some jokes to help pass the time. Samantha said that in order to perfect vegan water was to cook pork, chicken and beef on low heat and then add it to the water. It’s like one of those jokes that are so dry that they’re funny. We were trying not to laugh loo loud since we were told to remain quiet. Even though it wasn’t really quiet in the first place.

We had finally reached the center. We were required to sit on the ground in two lines. A while later, the other school came and we entered the center. The wait for the movie was really long, so me and Ruzzel got really bored. I guess the movie was worth the wait, though.

The movie had finally started. Some people from the other school brought some snacks and it made me quite hungry. At first, the movie was. The main character (Tina), had lost her daughter due to a massive earthquake. 3 Years later, Tina was trying to get a job as a teacher. The people said no because they were racist. Until they saw Tina helping a girl (Sophie) with her piano. Tina wanted to start a choir. Only one person agreed with it. She listened to that one person. The students in the choir despised it. They found it really boring and strict. The more they stayed in the choir, the more they realized that it wasn’t so bad after all. So, Tina said they would sign up for a singing competition. On the day of the competition, they had unfortunately lost Tina as she died of cancer. It was really sad. I was surrounded by people who were crying. It’s a really nice movie, I enjoyed watching it.

For New Zealand Music month, we were able to choose our own artist. I chose Rose, she’s a member of Black pink. Most of us used a template that asked us questions to answer and put in our presentations.

  Rose was actually born in New Zealand, Auckland. Yet, her parents were still Korean. When she was a kid, she was raised in Australia, Melbourne. She stayed in Australia from the age of seven to sixteen. Which is approximately nine years. She moved to Korea, Seoul to try and start her music career at the age of 16.

   Rose showed an interest in music when she was young. Which led her to audition for YG Entertainment. She can play the piano and has been seen playing it by some of her fans. She can play a guitar and is currently trying to learn the drums. Based on one of her videos, she has mentioned taking drum lessons.

  First, It was Jennie who started the group, then Lisa. Soon later, Jisoo joined then Rose joined after her. Roses 1st most popular songs is “APT”, which was a collab she did with Bruno Mars. Her 2nd most popular song is “How You Like That” which got about 1,139,752,943 streams. 

  Rose really enjoys making pop and k-pop music. The other members of Blackpink (Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa) also enjoy making k-pop music. She has won multiple awards for her music. Such as 2 Asian Artist of the Years, 2 Kids Choice Award and a lot more. 

I really like Rose’s music as it gets stuck in my head, even though I don’t really like K-pop. She’s my favourite k-pop artist. Who’s your favourite NZ artist?
