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.

I found it easy to come up with the structure that I needed to have in my story because the Show Dont Tell strategy was really simple. 

I found it hard to find really superior words to put in my paragraph.

I really enjoyed the writing part because I really like to do writing.

Next time I need to make sure that im 100 percent sure about my writing structure.

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.

The magic jacket

We are learning to use camera angles and editing to create a movie.

This week we have been learning about movie making using Wevideo. Wevideo is a site where you can video yourself and then edit it to make a movie. We also learned how to do different angles some of the angles that we used were mid shot, close-up shot and wide shot. We learned how to edit and cut out the parts we didn´t need. Some people put audio in their movies.

I found it easy to record what we were doing and our expressions.

I found it hard to get the timing right and to not delete the wrong parts that you need.

I really enjoyed the acting and that we could do our own videos.

Next time I need to improve on my editing skills and I need to work on the audio and the lighting.

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.
