Holiday poster

Here is a poster I made to persuade people to do this in the holidays. Our task was to find something to make the audience like our poster had to be very creative and make it look original. I hope you were persuaded.

WALT: summarise and combine information from across multiple texts.

Reading maps

This is a presintation about reading maps. We were learning about the key and the compass. We had to use the polyline tool and colour in the places we were supoost to colur in. It was both a new skill and fun I had lot's of fun with this project.

Being Fit

Did you know that your body is an amazing machine? It just needs to be used everyday to keep it well.

Exercise keeps your body strong and fit. Fitness means having the energy to work, play and do all the thing you want to do easily. Your body can not store fitness so you need to exercise regular to stay fit.

Exercise makes you feel and look better, it keeps your body a healthy weight. It helps you relax and sleep better and when you exercise your body produces chemicals called endorphins which go to your brain and make you feel better.

Exercise for strength makes your muscles stronger so you can work different parts of your body with out feeling weak. Exercise for stamina makes your heart and lungs stronger and helps blood float easily around your body. Stamina is the ability to exercise for longer without being tired or out of breath.

So you need to move it!!

What are Capitals?

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.

Have you ever wondered what Capital letters are? First the other name for Capitals are upper case the the smaller letters are called lower case. Another odd thing about them are that sometimes their a different size from the lower case like R to r, there are some that stay the same for example O to o, C to c.

Using Capitals letters are really simple there are so many ways to use them. You can use them in so many things but one way of using them are in Dates. For instance today is 15, October , 2014. In dates you can have capital letters in any language like Chinese, Cook island and even Indian. Not only in different countries but for special events like Christmas, Holidays and much more.      

I I I how are we supposed to right an I. If  you were going to write a sentence like this “i went to school” you would be writing it wrong. This how you are supposed to write It “ I went to school ”.  Did you see the bit I changed? Another example is I’ve, I’ll, It in fact any word with a pronoun I in it.

Here I will show you how to write a Geographical place with a capital. (Geographical means a place in the world). For example I live in Glen Innes, Auckland New Zealand. Another example is California, L.A, U.S.A. You can even use Capitals for the seven contents like Antarctica, Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania.

Last but not least Names, Now for names every time you spell someones name don’t forget to Spell it with a Capital. For instance my name is Ariana and my friends are Brooklyn, Khaia and Marilyn. Another example is, My teachers are Mrs Garden, Mrs Jacobson, Mr Somerville and Mr Goodwin.

If you want your audience to understand your writing then don’t forget to use Capitals!!!

Are we responsibly ( News article)

WALT: Use the structure of newspaper articles to write news reports

                                                  Are They Responsible?

Ariana

Pt England School

Here in the heart of Auckland at  Pt England School students have chromebooks that they use for learning. Some kids even take them home.

They learn on line. They have a whole range of digital tools and apps which they use to create cool things. Some of the apps  are google docs, gmail and blogger. They mainly use blogger to share their learning.

Marilyn a Pt England student and a Chromebook user says “That we take them home to learn more”. When they take it home they not only use it to learn after school but in the weekends and in the holidays. They don't just take it home to learn but its a good way for their parents to see what they are learning. Mrs Garden one of the team leaders at Pt england school has said that using Chromebooks has most definitely improved the kids learning more than normal pencil and paper.  

What do they do on their chromebooks you are asking? Well they often create a digital movie or animation to explain what they have been learning. Having their own access to the internet means they don't have to wait or wonder what to do next; they can follow their own learning pathway most of the time.

It won't be long until all students in

New Zealand have one of their own.

Then Jasmine were all the expensive Perfumes were. last but not least M&V were all the expensive shoes and Jeweller were. Rover brought nothing until they come across Animal food store and he saw the most juicy and most tender piece of steak that he had ever seen. He run strait to it and brought it right away. Know that all of them brought something they headed back to the Pet store.

It was Friday so their was a disco going on ( you would know this is you read part1) . The band was playing loud enough that The three best friends Lucy, Rover and Diana could sneak in with out any one noticing. They part all night and at six am in the morning they snack back in to their cages so that the shop keepers and costumes wouldn't notice. They did this every friday and lived happily ever After.

Holidays

It is officially the holidays, I am excited and sad because I really enjoy school. I really like these holidays because their is no more work and because my family and I are heading down to Christchurch. Were going to visit my uncle who lives in Australia he came down for his work and I hear they only let the best come to New Zealand. While were down  their were going to have a look at some of the famous Attractions and much more. I hope we get to see some of the building that fell down .How are we going to get their you might ask? Well we will be travelling in a aeroplane. It will be freezing down their so I have to pack lots of warm clothes. Did you know that in the south island it can go down to -2? Brrrr that will be so cold. I'm getting chills just thinking about. The down side is that my sister has just got a cold and if she still has it when we go down to the south island she could get worse. If she is still sick one the day we  leave to Christchurch then we might not be going. The upside is that I have just got read of my flu and I will be fine to go down to the south island.

                                             I HOPE WE GET TO GO

Superhero capture 1

It all started in lakeline city were just a Average kid named Altin james was walking to school when he passed a shop that he had never seen before he .It was a costume shop. He had walked that same way every single week day. He had a look inside to check it out he was looking  at a green cape, when the shopkeeper said that it was a magic cape it will help with anything and everything. Altin brought the cape, he need all the help and luck for his spelling bee. After he brought the cape he hurried down to school because he was late. After school he rushed down to The Gym were the Spelling bee was being hold. He got their just in time to chuck his cape on underneath his jacket he was very nervous and excited both at the same time. It started, Altin was trying to remember what the shopkeeper said the shopkeeper said something like it will help you with everything and anything and at that same time he said it out loud and everybody was staring at him. He felt nervous and embarrassed.

At the end of the comp he didn’t win so at the end of school he went back to the shop where he brought the cape but the shop was no where to be seen. He spotted the shop keeper and asked him where the shop was. The shopkeeper said have a nice day and walked away. Altin still followed him and told him that he wanted to return the cape. The shopkeeper still ignored him. So Altin gave up and trudge home in anger and sadness. When he reached his house he chucked his back on the floor and run up to his bedroom to do the rest of his home work and also throw his cape in the bin.

Altin was sleeping now and he totally forgot about the cape and the horrible day he just had. The cape was still in the bin. when it started glowing and jumping around. Atin was still sleeping when the cape started flying and jumping around, it flew into the Kitchen and got out  the milk then got out a class. The cape drop the first cup and then the second but lucky he caught the third. Altin woke up by the sound of smashing cups he thought it was a burglar so he grabbed his super dubber massive book about the life cycle of a butterfly dictionary and headed out to the Kitchen. As he did so he saw something green run past him he only saw a quick flash thats all then it was gone .He was so scared that he had a little accident and after the accident and a new pair of pants he went back to the kitchen.  Altin could feel something on his back he turned around to see what it was . It was the cape. As soon he saw it he felt power full already. He felt Magnificent, he felt invincible, he felt like a hero. Now he knew that it worked and that the shopkeeper was right.

Ambassadors

I am one of the seven Ambassadors. Which means I take part in meeting and greeting the visitors who come to our school. We talk to them about what and how we learn here at Pt England school. Our school is one of the schools in New zealand that are lucky enough to have chromebooks. Chrome books are so cool and fun. I think they're better because they help me learn better plus each year we don't have to keep buying stationary. It so fun being an Ambassador because you get to meet people from different parts of the country and sometimes from different countries. We speak in lots of different places like in our hall,the staff room, Tusitala room and once we even went to MIT. Being an Ambassador has really helped me with my confidence and to learn more about my school.

My mini book review

I am reading a book called The Keepers (museum of thieves) It's a Thrilling, tale of Action and Adventure. Written by Lian Tanner. Its all about a girl named Goldie Roth she lives in the city of jewel,where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime.  Goldie is both of those things. She runs away and finds the mysterious Museum of Dunt and meets a boy named Todspit and discovers dangerous secrets. A monstrous Brizzelhound stalks the Museums corridors, and only a thief can find their way through the mysterious and strand shifting rooms.

Goldie and Todspit  both have a talent for thieving.Which is just as well,because the treacherous Fugelman has his own plot for the Museum- plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves and it will take a very bold thief to stop him.
