Biteable

For the past few weeks in cybersmart we have been using Biteable instead of slides. We have been having a lot of fun using Biteable.
First we logged in with our school google account. Next we played around and found a theme that we liked . Last we created our Biteable and published it. I found it easy to have fun and focus, but I found it hard to use different words.

Hell-etric guitar by Brian McGinn

In Mr Breach's literacy class we are learning to look deeper and find more about the main character. I think Hell-etric guitar Is a good book and I like it.Frank was the main character in Hell-etric guitar. We had 3 activity sheets one to help us under stand the main character more one to write down our questions and one to find words we don't know the meaning of. My favourite part of the book is the last chapter when he ripped up the contract.I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good page turner.I rate this book 4.5 out of 5.

Hide and seek

This week in Mr Breaches literacy we found a hiding spot and wrote either to entertain, inform of guide your readers to your hiding spot. I found it easy because I enjoy writing about anything and I like to be over dramatic. I found using different words from the thesaurus challenging.

Dear diary 20/3/19 1:55 pm

I’m playing hide and seek today I think I have a marvellous hiding spot.

Dear diary 20/3/19 2:15 pm

I’ve been hiding here for about 20 minutes now I think I’m going to win.

Dear diary 20/3/19 2:35 pm

I can hear people yelling “ where are you Aliyah”,and, I can’t find you.

Dear diary 20/3/19 3:00 pm

It has been about a hour still I am unfound.

Dear diary 20/3/19 3:45 pm

My legs are starting to hurt from standing up so long I don’t know how much longer I will last.

Dear diary 20/3/19 4:00 pm

I’m sitting down now and it’s starting to smell in here .

Dear diary 20/3/19 4:45 pm

I think everyone has left school and I am starting to get hungry and thirsty.

Dear diary 20/3/19 4:50 pm

I just realised I am an idiot I brought my diary and a pen but no food or water.

Dear diary 20/3/19 5:30 pm

Dear diary 20/3/19 6:00 pm

Dear diary 21/3/19 7:00 am

Dear diary 21/3/19 9:00 am

Everyone is inside and the teachers are doing the roll.

Dear diary 21/3/19 10:30 am

It’s morning tea and the rain has stopped.

Dear diary 21/3/19 11:00 am

The bell just rang and every one is going back inside for literacy.

Dear diary 21/3/19 12:30 pm

Everyone is coming back outside and I am about starting to worry.

Dear diary 21/3/19 1:00 pm

I got found but think I made a new world record for the longest hide and seek match ever.

Prediction

This week in Mr Breaches literacy we wrote a prediction about a image that he showed us. I found it easy because I have a really good imagination. I found finding different words to use in my story hard.

I predict that he had crazy crash and landed on a mysterious island in the middle of the deep blue sea. I think he walked one thousand miles and was running out of clean water to drink. I predict that he was getting kind of scared. I predict that he walked under a fluffy cloud and the ladder magically appeared.

I think that he is puffing from walking so far across the island. I predict that he is pondering about climbing up the mysterious ladder. I think his arm is really tired from carrying his briefcase. I think that he is confused about how it all happened.

I predict that he is going to climb up the supernatural ladder. I think that he will end up in a unnatural candy land and he will regret going up. I think he will look around and wonder how this place was made and how he was walking on a cloud.I predict that he will try and get back down, but the ladder will disappear and he will admit defeat.

Be the change

Today in Puni-o-toka we learnt about kindness and how people are treated around the world. First we brainstormed all of our ideas. Next we wrote a poem about kindness and how to be kind. I really enjoyed this activity because I got to write about something I think is important. I found it easy to write about kindness but I found it hard to put similes in to my writing.

Kindness

The world needs kindness , we couldn’t live without it.

Kindness is as catchy as a cold, you can share it very easily.

It can affect people in very different ways.

You can catch a smile from someone else.

You can show kindness in very different ways, like simply making someone smile or laugh .

We can share love through being nice and caring about others.

We do little things every single day to make someone smile.

You should never judge a book by its cover.

Kindness is important to me because a simple smile can change a person.

Remember kindness is contagious, have you shared a smile today?

Hide and seek

This week for literacy we are writing about our hiding spot. There were three options I choose to inform and entertain. I found writing 15 sentences about my hiding spot hard but I found getting sucked into my writing easy.

Hide and seek

Can they see me, am I invisible ?

From where I am hidden I can see only a bright yellow ball.
The ball has little black marks spread across it. I can hear footsteps as they get louder and louder.
I can also hear the toilets flushing in the bathroom, and the hand dryers turning on and of as the kids
walk in and out of the bathroom.

I feel my heart pounding 1,000,000 miles an hour while I am thinking,
“Am I going to get found”, and “ Will I win the game.
Suddenly someone walks in the door to get a ball I stay as still as possible.
They grab the yellow ball I was holding in front of my face and I have to grab a new ball to cover my face.
It's starting to get uncomfortable with my sweat dripping down my face while I sit as still as a statue. I still
haven't gotten found and I’m slowly sinking into the balls I’m worried that I will never get found.

It has been two hours they are still searching for me I’m still in my hiding spot.
They have not found I have sunk into the balls a lot now I’m almost at the bottom. I now wonder have
they forgotten about me of are they still looking. Now I am starting to worry if they can’t find me will they
panic of will they just forget. “I can feel it now , I am not going to get found”. They found me! but I think
I made a new world record for the longest hide and seek match ever.

Hockey

Today Peter from Canterbury Hockey came to my school and taught us how to do a lot of things with a hockey stick like dribbling with a ball like it is attached with bubble gum of honey.First we  got our hockey sticks and we had to make sure that it was the right height for us. next we did some dribbling some stopping and some dodging. Last we played rob the nest but with a hockey ball and stick you had to get the ball from the middle to your nest.I found it east to do dribbling but I found it challenging to dodge and stop the ball.I learnt how to make sure your opponents don't get the ball.
