Team Tui created Blackout Poems out of documents/poems/writings of our choice. We had to make our own poem out of the words that we had received from the original piece and turn it into our own. To be honest, I think blackout poems are really unique.
SUFFIXES & PREFIXES FOLLOW UP
Task Description: Today for Writing, Team Tui were learning about Prefixes and Suffixes. What are they? Prefixes are words/letters placed before the word such as, (un)happy. Suffixes are words/letters placed after the word, such as, swimm(ing). Here is my information/tasks about Suffixes and Prefixes. Hope you learn more, enjoy.

It’s a really rainy afternoon today! I don’t want my son to get wet so I’ll just have to keep him in this house for now. I will just cook lunch and I hope he won’t sneak out. I’m very worried that my son will never have friends in his life.. *Creak* Huh? What’s that noise? I will check it out. Hmh, nothing. Well let me get back to what I was doing! *1 Hours later.* “Son! Lunch is ready!” What? No replies? “SON?!” I yelled. I guess I can check his room. “Hey son, Lunch is ready!” I exclaimed. Wait? Where is he?! I searched for him around the house, nothing. The only place I haven’t searched is outside, there’s no way he could be there! He’s a good child who listens anyways. Well I guess I can take a look at the window. There he is, oh he’s going to get in big trouble! Hey wait, why is he laughing by himself in the rain? This boy is crazy. I will just call him now! “Oi! What are you doing playing in the rain alone?!” I yell. “Alone? Playing alone? My friends are literally right here?” My son replies. Friends? What friends.. I see my son turn back and he follows me to the kitchen. *A Few Hours Later.* I tuck my son to bed and go to my own bed, I then fall asleep. *8 Hours Later* Ahh, great morning, finally shining for once! I get out of bed and make some breakfast. Time to wake up my son. I walk into his room, and something seems off. I thought I closed the window, and he doesn’t really sleep with his blanket covering his head? I yell, “Hey! Wake up!” No answers. I guess he’s just very tired today. I take off the blanket and yell, “Wake up!” When I soon stopped blinking I saw, pillows?! That boy must’ve escaped through the window! He might’ve ran away! I will eat, change and soon call the cops! *After eating and changing quickly* I will just drive to the police station! *After reaching the Police Station.* “Police! Police! My son has gone missing! Please help me find him!” I yelled. “Okay ma’am, please tell me your son’s details.” The Police replied. *After writing the details down.* “Okay now have a safe weekend.” The Police spoke. I drove back to my place and calmed myself down. Then I heard a phone call, I heard the phone say, “Ma’am we have found your son, he is in an abandoned shack with some corpses. We will analyse the corpse and we will take your son back home.” Corpses?! This is crazy! The son was then taken back home. He must be sleeping right now. Days and Nights past, still the son hadn’t woken up. People say, the son had been cursed by the 2 children who had the same experience but with an adult who killed them.

It was a rainy afternoon, a vision caught my eyes so I went to look out the window and I saw 2 kids my age playing in the rain. I watch in despair, as my mother wouldn’t let me play in the rain, as she cares about my health. I’m thankful for that but still, I might as well be dying of boredom! So a very evil plan came up in my head, and I decided to try it out. I was going to sneak out of my house and try hanging out with those kids! As I did the exact plan, the floor wood of my house creaked. I ran outside and closed the door quietly. I could see my mother checking the noise, thankfully I was outside. I walked up to the kids and asked, “Hey, could I hang with you?” The kids didn’t answer, one shook my hand, so I think that was a yes! We were dancing and laughing in the rain, well only I was actually laughing. We played for hours! Until, my mother came outside and yelled, “Oi! What are you doing playing in the rain alone?!” I reply back, “Alone? Playing alone? My friends are literally right here?” I turn back to see nothing. That’s strange. I follow my mother back inside, as I look behind me, still nothing. *A Few Hours later.* The night takes over. My mum tucks me in bed as I still look through the window. This time I saw my friends, I couldn’t be so happy in my life! Another evil idea struck my head and I opened the window and climbed out to my friends. I stayed as quiet as ever. I spoke in my head, “Mum wouldn’t worry! I will run away.” So I walked away in silence and ran to my friends. I hugged them tight when I saw them walking away, I didn’t wanna get left behind so I followed them. They led me to a shack which was very clean! There was no one inside, they must be siblings and live alone. I didn’t think anything of it and came inside. As I walked in, I could smell such a beautiful taste of food. I followed the smell and I found my friends on the table with a big feast! I was so hungry before, I’m so glad I got to eat! I ate and they put some blankets on the sofa for me to sleep. The night took over once again and I fell asleep.
