Show don´t tell
We were learning To make inferences about a characters feelings.
He suddenly looked in his bag and saw that his homework book wasn´t there. His face dropped as he started to tremble in fear because he was going to get in a lot of trouble for forgetting his homework book. Timo went to tell his teacher but he was so scared he couldn´t even blab out one word.
B.bots with Matua Matt
On Tuesday my class and I went to Matua Matt's classroom to do b.bots. We were learning about programming with B.bots.
First we went into his class and sat on the mat and waited for the fun to start. Then we got started. We grabbed a mat. Some of the mats were a space, a pirate mat, a shapes mat, and a letter mat.
After that we got into groups and we got a b.bot and went to find a spot where we could work. Then we had to programme it. Lana and I programmed it so it would go to the barn because we had a farm mat.
After doing this for a while Matua Matt gave us a challenge. The challenge was that we had to get somewhere but we had to do it backwards after doing that it was time to go to lunch.
I found it easy to get to a certain place because it wasn´t very difficult.
I found it hard to get the programming right because sometimes we would press the wrong button and then we had to start all over again
I really enjoyed having to play around with it because it was really fun.
Next time I need to work on my programming skills.

My acrostic poem.
We were learning about acrostic poems.
During week one of lockdown we did an acrostic poem about lockdown.
First we had a talk with the teacher about what an acrostic poem was.
After that we had to go to our drive and go into our writing folder and open a google drawing.
We had to name that drawing lockdown.
Then we had to type the letters down the page and then we had to write sentences starting with that letter, but it only had to be about lockdown.
I found it easy to write some of the sentences.
I found it hard to think of different sentences for each letter.
I really enjoyed the writing because it was easy and I really like writing.
Next time I need to add more language features so my readers are more satisfied with my writing.

Little red riding hood.
Kia Ora this is my fairy tail that I did. I hope you enjoy.
Once upon a time there was a little girl named Georgia who lived with her mum in a little cabin. Their cabin was wooden with glass shuttered windows and an amazing spruce door. They liived in the middle of the bush.
One day her mother told her to take some fresh kai to her nan at the end of the woods. Her nan lived quite far away so it was going to take her a while to get there. She agreed to take the food to her nan so her mum started packing the kai for her to take to her nan.
The mum spent heaps of time cooking and preparing the food so the only time Georgia could leave was at night. In the basket there was a fresh chicken,apples,oranges and a big pumpkin.
When she was in the middle of the forest she felt like something was watching her from behind. She turned around but nothing was there.
As she walked down the path a ferocious wolf jumped in front of her.She screamed in fear¨AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH¨.
The wolf said¨Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you're going to attract other humans¨.
So she calmed down and started to walk again but the wolf went in front of her and the wolf said¨Oh no no no your not going anywhere i want some of your kai¨ Georgia said¨No this kai is for my nan and you are not getting any¨ the wolf said confidently¨You will give that kai even if i have to take it from you with my own two hands then Georgia said in confidence¨If you touch me you are going to end up with no hands¨ so the wolf ran away and Georgia thought that she was safe until she heard something in the bush she yelled¨áº„HOS THERE¨ then a bunny jumped out and then ran away she sighed in relief.She kept walking and when she got there she knocked on the door and no one answered so she knocked again and said¨Hello nan are you there¨ and in a creaky voise a lady said¨Yessssss come in the door is open¨ so she opened the door and walked in but when she went to see her nan she was gone.As she was standing there she could feel someone breathing on the back of her neck she screamed and ran out she could see a dark shadow following her in the dark she ran as fast as she could but when she; turned the shadow was still there.Then she tripped over a stick and she fell and hurt her leg she tried to hide behind a tree but then she felt something trying to grab her then she punched whatever it was and ran back home and she never stopped running until she got there and she never spoke of it again.
