Rhyming

This week in literacy we wrote a story using repetitive rhyming. First we planed then we wrote it it was hard to write it but it was fun  last we made a drawing and published it.
I found it easy to have fun and be creative but I found it hard to write the story .

There once was a cat who loved the sound “rat a tat tat”.

But the sound made here a brat. The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat.

The people didn’t like that she was a brat so they put him in a habitat. The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat ,so now she is in a habitat.

The cat doesn’t like being in a habitat so she became an acrobat.The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so now she is in a habitat and is an acrobat.

The cat can’t do acrobatics so she went “splat”.The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so she is now in a habitat and is an acrobat, but she went “splat”.

The cat stopped doing acrobats because she found a soft mat. The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so she is now in a habitat and is an acrobat, but she went “splat” so she stopped and now in a soft mat.

She got up because she saw a little Gray rat.The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so now she is in a habitat and is an acrobat ,but she went “splat” so she stopped and is now in a soft mat spying on a grey rat.

The rat is being a copycat.The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so now she is in a habitat and is an acrobat ,but she went “splat” so she stopped and is now in a soft mat ,spying on a grey rat and is mad because it is a copycat.

A person saw the cat and gave her a pat.The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so now she is in a habitat and is an acrobat, but she went “splat” so she stopped and is now in a soft mat spying on a grey rat and is mad because it is a copycat but a person gave her a pat.

She found a great big hat.The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so now she is in a habitat and is an acrobat but she went “splat” so she stopped and is now in a soft mat spying on a grey rat and is mad because the rat is a copycat but a person gave her a pat and she is wearing a big hat.

The cat got bit by a bat.The cat loved the sound rat a tat tat but it made her a brat, so now she is in a habitat and is an acrobat but she went “splat” so she stopped and is now in a soft mat spying on a grey rat and is mad because the rat is a copycat but a person gave her a pat and she is wearing a big hat and she got bit by a bat.

People come from far and wide to see her little face, and now she realises that shes not a just big disgrace, She changes back to normal and is not so paranormal and now she can be very informal for people that are round, to be themselves not someone else and believe that you can be you no matter what.

The end

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.

Books I have read on Biteable.

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

I am very tired I think I will go to sleep soon.

Dear diary 20/3/19 6:00 pm

I’m going to go to sleep now But it will be very uncomfortable.

Dear diary 21/3/19 7:00 am

I just woke up and It was a very rough night

Dear diary 21/3/19 8:00 am

People are looking for me now I still can’t believe I haven't been found yet

Dear diary 21/3/19 8:30 am

The first bell just rang and I can hear rain starting to come down.

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?
