In writing we were given a task for the first time I saw... First we had a mambuger plan (wich is pretty must a writing plan that looks like the layers on a hamburger) then we wrote the story on a google doc. Here is the story: First Time I Saw ... Left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot. A few black rocks fell down and hit me on the head, the heat was unbearable. I got to the top finally, the mountan was beginning to erupt. THERE IT WAS, WINGS SPEARED UP LIKE A t, THE MAJESTIC ANIMAL WAS ABOUT TO DO IT, THIS WAS THE MOMENT, THIS WAS THE REASON I CAME ALL THIS WAY… IT JUMPED, BUT IT DID NOT FLY, it was falling! I had to do something! I jumpED and caUGHT the stubby little this and curled it in my arms.  IT LOOKED AT ME AS IF TO SAY ‘THX BRAH U R A TRUE HUMMIE,’ THEN I SET IT FREE AND IT FLEW AWAY… SO BEAUTIFUL… BTW IT’S A DO-DO

Workspace (also known as Hapara) is a helpful website were teachers can create 'workspaces' then they can add seperate tasks in those workspaces. It is a dashboard for students and teachers, Teachers can also view our email history, see our websites that we are on, see our blog posts and pretty much see our screen 24/7 via workspace. It is super easy to use and once we have finished our tasks we can submit them and that sends an email to the teacher that sent out the task to view our work and see if its good enough. If it is they will mark it, if it isn't they can send it back to us. Overall workspace is super easy to use and this is a photo of it.

In writing we have been focusing on character trait descriptions, we would be given 2 character traits to write about. Since writing is my favorate subject they where really fun to do. After we wrote 2 we could choose a character trait ourselves. The ones I had were happiness and anger, I also did sadness. Your first character trait description is about ANGER Write here:  His Face turned red, steam wafting out of his ears like a boiling pot. A small vein at the top of his bald head began to throb, his bushy eyebrows sloped down. He spoke “I'M SICK OF THIS! YOU CAN'T KEEP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO OVER AND OVER!! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL ABOUT BEING YOURSELF! STOP DOING THIS!” Your next character trait description is about Happiness Write here:  She skipped merrily down the street, her face full of joy. She was so excited about finally going to her friends house after 100,000 years! She knocked on the door in a pleasant beat: da, da, de, da, de....

This term Mr B read us a book called 'The Boy In The Girls Bathroom' I know what an amazing and kid-friendly name. It is about a kid named Bradley Chalkers and he starts off a really mean bully but when a school councillor comes to his school she flips his life round the other way. After we read the book Mr. Billings sent us a task. Here is the task. 

Maths Buddy Is an online maths website, Mr. Billings can set us assignments and tasks, we only have 7 days to complete the tasks and that can be challenging when you have 10 tasks and 7 days to complete them. It is challenging because in each tast there is 1-10 smaller tasks inside them. The only bad thing is that Mr. Billings cannot see the tasks before he sends them(he really hates that). This is the logo. It is awesome and it has some fun and educational mini games like 'Speed Skills' we use that a lot, Times Tables and Swap The Pieces. My favorite is speed skills beacause we get banqer money every time we beat our highscore. All-in-all maths buddy is way more fun than matific with was an old online maths app that we used at Clive school. Maths buddy used to seem easy but now it can be challenging and fun, we have been using maths buddy from week 1.

This week we did some painting, we were inspired by the art exhibition in hastings and the napier museum. Mine was inspired from a piece called Evening Lights In Central Hawkes Bay, by L. Wilson. This Is my piece It was super fun to paint it and if you are going to the art exhibition on Thursday the 6th of April you can get a better look at this piece.
