Christmas

In class we got to do any writing that we have learnt this year. This is my second story and it is a descriptive piece of writing. It might get confusing in this story but, not for me. This story is a story that has a second part to it. It will be continued, as they all say. I'll add the story in so that you can read it to yourself. I'll post the second part over the holidays.

Christmas

On Christmas Eve everyone was getting their
presents ready. I was waiting for my present.
I didn’t go out to look for a present because
I didn’t know who to give a present to. 

Maybe I could give it to my parents. They would like a
present very much, but what present? I sat down on
the couch thinking of what my parents like. My dad likes
ties but that’s boring, and my mum likes dresses but she has
a lot. Maybe I'll get them some blankets for them. 

I went to the shop, and I saw these really nice blankets.
They were just right for mum and dad. They were also red
and green, the colours of christmas. My parents loved those colours.

I payed for the blankets now I just need to wrap the blankets.
Or maybe I could just tie a bow around each blanket. It was hard
to think of what to do on christmas. There were so many options.    

I didn’t believe in santa. He never gave me what I wished for. I would
write letters but never get what I wrote. Once I put my letter on the table,
with the milk and cookies and it flew away so I guess that's what always happened.     

I was at home now. Wrapping my present. I couldn’t find a ribbon so
now i’m wrapping it. I wrote mum and dad on each of the presents. I went to
the kitchen and then I heard a knock on the door.

It was my parents. I looked under the christmas tree and saw that only
my gifts were there. I quickly picked the gifts up and took them up to
my room. Then I came back downstairs and opened the door
for them. “What took you so long?” My mum asked as she came
in. She had some shopping bags, I tried to look into them and see
what it was but she noticed and pulled the bags away.

I went up to my room. I closed the door and stared at the gifts. They
looked like they were fragile but they weren't. The blankets were put into
boxes so that I could wrap the wrappers around properly.

It was getting dark and I think I heard my dad snoring. I went downstairs
with my presents and put them under the tree. I saw two other presents
for me too. I heard a loud thump so I quickly ran up to my room and closed the door. 

Everyone was sleeping. I could hear someone walking through the house.
I opened my bedroom door and went downstairs. I saw 6 presents under the
tree now. I think it was…. Santa

Market Day Reflection

We had our market day and it was really fun. Everyone was busy in my class because a lot of people were buying the waffles and spiders. Our teacher counted up our money, we did good but the profit was small. The profit was a good price for what we were doing for our class treat.

On market day it was really fun. Everyone was walking around looking at some stuff. I was at the briquettes stand with three other girls. People came to look at the briquttes but didn't really buy it. We took turns leaving the stand and coming back. We did pretty good with the waffles and the spiders. They sold a lot of each. It was really fun, even though most of the time I was standing at the stand, I still had fun. There was still a lot more briquettes left, but some people bought some. When others took too long on their time to look we would have to look for them and tell them it was their turn.

The kiwi can leaders were being throwed at with wet water sponges. There were some people throwing really hard at the kiwi can leaders.

Here are some pictures:

If you look closely to the picture just on top, you can see the sponge.

Biteable about Respect

Respect For Others on Biteable.

In our class we all made a biteable about respect. We did this because there has been a lot of problems in our class and so our teacher gave us a task and that was to make a biteable about how we can show respect.

It doesn't take that long to make this video. This was my first time ever using biteable. It was hard at first because I wasn't on the right biteble, so I had to restart it again.

I hope you like this video!

Snakes & Ladders

For our Synthesis task this week, it was to make a snakes & ladders game about the story we have read. It is about how kids and aliens were fighting against each other in the story. My rules to this game can be different to any other snakes and ladders. I drew the whole snakes and ladders thing. I'll show you a picture but it might be blury. There are only 70 boxes.

The instructions for the game are on there too!

Join the Summer Learning Journey!

The summer learning journey is all about blogging. There is a site that shows you all the information about what the Summer Learning Journey is. You can get points for blogging about what the activity is. You can also get points for commenting on others posts about the SLJ. The more you blog, the more points you will get.

Emma, the lady teaching about the slj, has given us a challenge. We had to make an advertising poster or something advertising about joining the SLJ. We could use anything to make this poster. I used canva for this. I tried to fit all the information into two text boxes. I also added in the Summer Learning Journey logo.

Here is my Poster:

Gus Sinaumea Illustrator Synthesis

For our synthesis task we had to draw what we see and draw something that we have wrote about. I drew a christmas tree and a person. I wrote a story about like it was when a girl could't figure out what to get for her parents so she made christmas a wonderful time by doing something special. I drew some presents under the tree too. It was hard drawing the person and fun colouing in.

Here is my picture:

Market Day Posters

In class we have been planning for Market Day. Market day is when all the classes in our school plan things to sell for their class. This money that each class earns goes to their own classes and they have a class treat with that money. 

We are selling Briquettes, Waffles, we also are doing a Water thing where you throw sponges to the kiwi can leaders. There is also going to be a pie face game. Our teacher is also going to be part of this and she has decided that she will have a jar of lollies and let people guess how much lollies were in the jar.

I made a poster about selling the briquettes. The picture at the bottom of the poster is what our briquettes will look like. It might be blury.

Our market day starts at 2pm - 4pm. This will be on Friday 6th of December.

This will be at St. Bernadettes School Hornby, Hei Hei road 74.

Resolution for Christmas

For religious education in class we have been learning about what we think a resolution to christmas is. We had to write a bible verse or a quote into a google drawing and decorate it. Some of the students in my class chose to do their own bible verse. I got this one off google. I decorated it like it was christmas already.

Here is my google drawing:

Summer Learning Journey Teaser Week

This week is the teaser week. I chose to do that simile task. I did four of the ones that were there. Here is my similies:

This is what I have came up with:

Acrostic Poem Christmas

In class we have learnt a lot of different types of writings. We got to pick any writing we know that we have learnt and wirte about it. I chose acrostic poem. Acrostic poems are quite hard for me but I chose to do it to the word Christmas. 

Here is my Poem:

Children all laughing and playing.

Having a family feast.

Running around having fun.

In a house filled with joy.

Sun shining as we all go out and play.

Thankful that we got to see family.

Meeting up with your family.

A time to spend with family.

Summer time.     


I made this by myself.
