book day

On Friday we had book character day where you could dress up as someone from a book. I chose to go as Ash from Pokemon mostly because I like Pokemon in general. We took some photos of ourselves and of the whole class and put them on a google drawing along with a photo of what book you were from. Here is mine: 

Living springs

 last week we went to a place called living springs for our camp this year. After we got back we made a slideshow of all the things that we did there. Here it is: 

Ice cream

 Every Friday our school  has science and today we learned how to make unicorn ice cream. Here is the instructions on how to make it: 

1. Add butter to a big bowl

2. Turn up the butter with a mixer 

3. Add sweetened milk

4. Divide the contents into three bowls and add different food colouring for each 

5. Scoop each bowl one at a time into a baking tray and spread them out. 

6. Mix them together a little to mix the colours 

7. Put a lid on the baking tray and put it in the fridge for around 24 hours 

8. Eat your delicious meal

Total anihilation slides

Sometimes during class or at home when we could do our won thing I ( and one of my friends) had an idea to create a series of stop motion animations the we called Total annihilation. I have put all of slideshows so far here. If i make more they will be here. 

 

minecraft anzac war

for one of the tasks that I had, one of them was to recreate the trenches from the first world war and how they used a cave to get to the trenches. we read a book that we were assigned and it talked about how the two trenches used tunnels to try and blow each other up. Here is a video of the work me and my brother did on minecraft:

home sport

For one of the tasks for homework we had to choose a sport and (while staying in or near your home) make a video of you participating in it. Also you had to make it your home edition, like for example, if your sport was soccer then you could use your two doors for goals and a tennis ball in place of the soccer ball. I chose javelin throwing. Here is my video that I made:

Writing task (dogs)

I believe that you should stop trying to ban dog walkers from the river track just because they do not
pick up the poo that their dogs leave. Here is my reason why. 

First off, they really don’t need to because poo is fertiliser and is good for the plants around the track.
You definitely want the track to have lots of healthy, green, plants and trees around it. 


Secondly, you could either have a warning notice so that they have one chance before they are band
from the track and also you could just make up a rule that the owner would just have to cover the poo
with some dirt so that the passerby wont smell it.

Writing task (ghost)

I don’t think you should leave before the ghost hunt just because you are scared of ghosts. 
Here are my reason why you should stay. 

First off, you shouldn’t even be that scared of ghosts. What is to be afraid of them?
Sure they can jump scare you but they can’t even touch you so there is no reason to be afraid of them. 

Secondly, you might be able to see somebody you knew when they were alive.
Like imagine if you saw your great, great, great grandma or some famous like a president

Writing task (money)

I don’t think that you should tell everybody about how you won 3 million dollars in the lottery.
Here are my reason why.  

For reason one, If you tell everybody then somebody may steal some of that money.
You may think that people wouldn’t do that and most of the time you are right but every once in a
while there is a person who would steel from other people.  

For my second reason, everybody you know would be asking for little amounts of money
because you have such a great amount. If you say no then they will think that you are greedy and
maybe become not your friend.

baking

for some of our homework while in isolation, our teacher assigned us a challenge to bake something. she also assigned us a template that we had to fill out. we made a chocolate cake. here it is:

dog leashes

For one of the writing prompts that our teacher gave us when school let out, I chose one were you have to complain about people with long leashes. Here it is: 

I am so tired of when people use very long dog leashes when they walk their dog through the park or anywhere in particular. Here are my two reasons why. 

First off, when I am riding around on my motorized scooter and a long leash gets stuck in the wheel so I crash or have to stop. Also, most of the time they act like it is my fault! It’s not always when your on your scooter, long leashes act as tripwires even when you are walking and they are still as annoying. 

Secondly, when dogs are on long leashes and they are untrained like they misbehave a lot, the owner can’t do much about it with a long leash when they start to do bad things. Lets say they run and knock into someone, you can stop that if you have a short leash. They also sometimes think they can do whatever they want because they feel like they are far enough away from their owner to not get in trouble when they do bad things. 

In conclusion, long dog leashes are bad because they create tripwires and the owner has next to no control over their dog.

Not to kill a deer

For one of the writing prompts our teacher gave us when school let out was to try and persuade your imaginary friend not to go hunting in a deer hunting club. Here is my writing:

Hey, you shouldn’t join that club! I have plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t join the deer hunting club for a passtime.


For one, It is unfair for the deer that you are hunting. They have done nothing against you and you just go and shoot them. Imagine how you would feal if you were just having a normal day at the park or home and suddenly a deer ran up to you and shot you with a gun (this is metaphorical, I don’t think deers can actually do this in real life).You can save deer lives by not joining that club.


And for second, you can just eat vegetables instead of meat. It is not that hard to buy veges at the store instead of meat. Because everytime you eat meat, you are eating a once living creature. And if you don’t want to buy fruit and veg then you can just make yourself a garden at your home for free nutritious food. If you worry about not getting enough iron because you aren’t eating meat there are actually lots of foods(that is not meat) that give you iron like beans, nuts chocolate etc.

Up the mountain

This is something that I did outside of school. I went up the mountain and stayed there for 1 whole day. There is and actual lake up there and also a big mountain range you can walk along. One of the days it was cloudy beneath us and gave everything a very cool blanket of clouds that we could look down upon. We got some pretty good photos and so I have made them into a collage. Here it is:

Reading activite

In class we have been doing some reading activities and one of them is to make a wanted poster for the person in the book we are reading. He is supposed to have black glasses have an brown Ute and be an old man. Here is my wanted poster:

My goals

In class we are making goals for ourselves for the rest of the year. We had to include a reading goal, a writing goal, a maths goal, a personal goal and a social goal. Here are my goals:

My reading goal is to finish 10 books throughout the year. 

My writing goal is to become better at writing stories told as if the character was seeing it. 

My maths goal is to either be at level 8 or higher. 

My personal goal is to work hard and earn enough money on banker to get lots of free time on Minecraft. 

My social goal is to make at least one more friend.

future self letter

In class we have been doing writing and for part of that we have made a letter to our future self. We wrote a letter talking about what we liked and didn't like right now and the idea is that we will read it at the end of the year. here it is:
