Top 10 Ways To Look After Your Chromebook

The past few weeks our class has been making short films about how to look after your chromebook. My group was Logan, Shukoor and Tim. Our class came up with a lot of ideas and then we broke them to 10. It is important to look after your chromebook because they are a great learning tool in the classroom. Furthermore you can access  google docs, sides, drawings, sheets and maths whizz. We had a great time making it, there was a lot of bloopers and people talking but we made our way through it and here it is.

First Person point Of View Writing!

                                       ‘Wonder’ First Person Point Of View

Our writing task for the past couple of weeks  has been on a book based on Natalie Merchant’s song, Wonder. The book written by R.J Palacio is written in first person view and has more than one person telling the story.

Example 1

Here is my first person quote, it's is in first person because he said, “Mum kind of stepped out of the way so l had to move forward.”

Example 2

When he started school he said, “I can't say I wanted to go to school.”

Example 3

Talking about Mr Tushman With his mum on tour,“He didn't look like I pictured Though.

I think R.J Palacio uses first person when she tells ‘Wonder’. There are 2/3/4 examples as to why I think this.

In the book ‘Wonder’, Palacio uses the first person point of view to tell the story.

‘Wonder’ is a story about a boy who feels ordinary on the inside, but he is always reminded of how different he is by how people respond when

My Mihi!

In the first two weeks of school, Rimu class learnt how to create and say our mihi in Maori. This is our introduction to our class and community. We also created a ‘visual mihimihi’ to match our mihis. We all had to have 3 parts to our mihi.

1) A self portrait or photo

2) Places of significance

3) Symbols or pictures that represent our culture

Those of us who spoke clearly, confidently with excellent pronunciation with great visuals and layout scored on our rubric. Take a look at my finished mihi and tell us what you think!

My 100WC- Week 2

The Day Of Bad Luck

I was walking through the forest when I heard a large crack.I walked over to where the sound was coming from... I got grabbed on the leg from behind...It felt like an eel wrapping around my leg. It pulled me into the hole that it came out of , I was screaming,"HELP!" Nobody heard me. After a while I broke free and started to run away. As I was walking past a pond, the day after I got pulled into a hole, A whale jumped out of the pond and landed on me... Horrible day to be me.
