Donald trump and the Mexico wall.

For summer learning we had to talk about if you agree with Donald Trumps actions about the wall between Mexico and America this next bit will about what i think about it 


I do not like how Donald trump made the wall between Mexico and America that is just wrong.

Donald Trump is just thinking about himself,but people in mexico need better jobs to build a better life for their family and them.

People also need to visit family etc so they are stuck in Mexico.


I hope that one day he takes it down and Mexico has the freedom again.


I hope you enjoyed me talking about if i think it is wrong or right.

He has already built the wall


Do you agree and why ?


Do you like Donald Trump ?

Saving our amazing sand dunes

Today room 2 went to the beach and learnt about the amazing sand dunes.
We learnt how to really look after our sand dunes and why they are important, I did not know a lot about sand dunes but now I know a lot.

Sand dunes are to help if there are any tsunamis or stormy waves. The plants that cover most of the sand dunes help them to hold the sand in place.

This is how the sand dunes are made :
First it rains and the rain water goes into the river after that the rocks in the water starts breaking down into little specks of sand. After that the sand goes into the ocean and then onto the beach which when the wind blows on the sand some of sand dunes build up.

Also the little green nets you see at the beach help collect sand so the sand dose not go away.

A story that the teacher told us that there was a couple and they rang up the city council to move and little bit of the sand dunes and so the city council moved some of the sand dunes and while that was happening the sand kept going onto there house an done day there was some much sand that there roof on there house fell but luckily they were not hurt.

That is why we need to look after our sand dunes and not have a lot of people jumping on them etc and respecting the plants that help collect the sand to stay in the place.

We had to do lots of team working activities about the sand dunes in groups of 5.
Do you know about sand dunes ?

What information could you add to this blog post?

Interland fun

Interland fun,
Today room 2 and 3 joined together to play Interland where you can choose 4 different islands and they each have different meanings  to keep safe online,the game that i played was this green castle [kind kingdom] game and if characters were getting bullied you had to help them and save them from the mean internet people.You had to collect hearts which when you had to collect them you had to find a character who was sad and help them by clicking the space bar and it would give them an emoji with a heart or a thumbs up etc.
The one thing that was challenging was trying to get up to levels to help the sad characters.
The purpose of the game that I was playing was to save other people who were getting bullied.
I really enjoyed playing the game and helping people on the game to save them,
comment in the comments what you think of the game !

Fantastic emotions

W.A.L.T : To have manners in what we say 

This week room 2 had to make a DLO about manners and what is expected and to use what manner in a situation.Manners are for being respectful,we should be using manners in everyday life even just for the most simple thing even if someone opened a door and you saying ''thank you '' 

I think the one manner that i need to work on is being patient and waiting

I hope you enjoy my DLO :

The story of Abraham and Sarah

Room 2 had to look at the story of Abraham and Sarah following Gods call,
Abraham and Sarah were both 75 years old they both really wanted kids but they were too old
God said to Abraham and Sarah ''leave to were i say and you will have kids ''
it was hard for Abraham and Sarah to leave all that they had in their town behind.
But they new that they wanted kids so they followed Gods call and set off.
After a while Abraham and Sarah were going to give up they thought that they were never going to get kids but then the angels came and said ''Abraham and Sarah you are going to have a baby boy''
so then they waited and waited until Abraham and Sarah were going to give up , but then God said to Abraham and Sarah ''look at the stars that is how much kids you are going to have ''
soon after they had kids.

This is my DLO

Thank you for taking your time and ready this

                 Orphanage
I was wriggling around in my bed because I could not sleep. I opened my eyes and whispered ‘’hello’ to my best friend Laura She gasped and awoke in shock
‘’what is wrong I said,
‘’don't worry, it's just a dream‘’said Laura   and dozed back to sleep.
The orphanage had something wrong with it and I also had this weird feeling so I took matters into my own hands. I walked downstairs with my long nighty and tip toed the headmistress was sitting at her long desk even when you are 50 meters away you can see her long warts poking out of her crusty Skin and her grey hairs sticking up with her pointy nose. ‘’Headmistress’’  I speak with a squeaky voice
  ‘’yes’’ she says with her manly voice in horror
‘’ugh ugh ugh I I I cannot sleep’‘ I said
She said ‘’ come sit ‘’ I quickly come ‘’well listen someone came in not that long ago and they were talking about who they wanted to adopt a nice couple and well they kinda want to adopt you but have a think about it ‘’
‘’well ok  I answered ‘’.



That night I could not sleep I was rolling around in bed I just could not think straight when I was only the age of 3 years old my birth mother left me at the doorstep with a locket   gently left on my tummy with a fresh blanket with the smell of rose petals  inside the locket there was a picture of my birth mothers hand   and my hand
On the locket it said ‘’Mummy and me ‘’ I hold it closely to me every night and wonder what it would be like having a mum and a dad maybe it would be a second chance to have a family to start again.
Earlier that morning, I walked down to the Headmistress office and took a  seat I waited patiently until she was ready to see me she came out  after about 15 minutes of waiting she took a seat on her leather black chair.
‘’So have you made your decision child’’ slapping her ruler against her hand it seemed to be like a threat, some days the Headmistress would be average nice  but then some days cruel and ferriel today i did not know what I was getting myself into today.
‘’I have made a decision to miss ‘’ I said with a nervously with a straight face
‘’’well what is it ‘’said Missmistress
 within a split second I answered, ‘’I want to get adopted ‘’
she looked at me and said ``ok then pack your stuff up child cause your going home ‘’  I  raced up stairs with nervousness  and packed my bags .
I straightened my hair and I walked down stairs tip tap tip tap my foot went while patiently waiting.


The door opened a nice couple came in and said hello the girls smile was a gentle smile she kneeled down to my level and said ‘’hello dear ‘’
Hhhh just a dream just a dream a tear rolled down my face really I was so excited to get adopted in my dream I walked back down stairs and then the door opened How did  the same girl from my dream here she was walking  just like my dream I could not believe my
eyes so I rubbed them and double pinched myself the headmistress came behind me and smiled.
I finally got adopted now that is my kind of dream
to be continued….


this is my narrative picture :

Public or Private information

W.A.L.T. Understand public and private information and identify them 


This morning we had to identify public and private information on a google drawing about  made up information  we had to highlight it and pick what we think is public information and what we think is private information green was for public and red was for private and orange for not sure after that we had to our own one about a make up person with a room 3 buddy.Mine was charlotte,We did information that was a mixture and that was good to put on the internet and that was also not good.
This is mine ;] 

can you identify public or private information 

public vs private

On  Wednesday with mark we did a task about what information we can put online and what we cant.We had to do a google drawing about it and explain what information we can put online and what information we have to keep private.We had to explain in a nice way why it is important here is mine.

Persuasive writing (Chromebook)

Today with miss  Holland we talked about adverts and how they make you want to buy their product so she said we had to make our own poster about why she should buy a Chromebook so we did and we made it like we were selling it.

It was so much fun doing our own posters of why she should buy  Chromebook 

i really liked it ! 

this is mine 

The Holy Spirit

Today the class went in pairs and I went with Jennah, we were looking through the bible and we had to look at different scriptures  and we had to explain in the scriptures if the Holy spirit is  the  comforter, advocate or the spirit they could all be different answers.

A comforter is someone who is kind and caring to others when they are sad and they are showing their love.

A advocate is someone someone who supports someone.

The spirit is something that replaces the advocate and the comforter and does the job a bit better.

 

cyber smart

Today we did cyber smart with mark.

we had to do this challenge where we had to find 6 bits of information about him we had to do.....

what does he looks like,who are his friends and family,where does he work, what is his work phone number,what is his home number,where does he live?,how old is he ? only we could find his first 3 bits of information because he never puts out his really personal information onto the internet. And  if you do want to put up some public information you can NOT put up any personal information such as like where you live your date of birth and your full name but you could put up your favourite food only your first name and maybe where you work.Make sure that you know what Private and Public information is. 

That is what we learnt at cyber smart with mark
