A Moment In Time

We were learning about writing a moment in time, this moment in time was based on a video that Mrs Barker had put on our site under the writing button, the video was about a hunt between a hawk and a squirrel. We had to write from either the squirrels perspective or the hawks, I chose to write from the hawks. 

I really enjoyed writing from the hawks point of view because I like bird of prey (birds that hunt other birds) or just any animal that hunts. But my favorites are big cats but anyway another thing I liked about this writing session is that I managed to publish it really fast and on only two slides!

I didn't find it difficult to do anything really but if I had to choose something it would probably be that I found it hard to chose which hawk I wanted on the title page and what background I wanted for my second slide.

Next time to improve I think I will add more detail about the chase rather than getting to that part and skipping quite a lot of the exiting parts. 

What Christmas means to me

We were learning about writing a letter to the Gisborne Herald for a competition. The competition was, in the whole of Gisborne a few schools were chosen to make a piece of writing about what Christmas means to you. Ten people are going through and getting to have their writing put into the Gisborne Herald newspaper, I hope that I will be one of those people.

I enjoyed doing my getting creative part. After we had finished, checked and the teacher had printed our writing we could do anything to get creative about our writing. I made a scratch game with my family, a fruit platter and a roast chicken in it.

I found it challenging to find all the right things to make my scratch game, eg the fruit platter, my family sprites and I also found it challenging to make the roast chicken. I had to get the chick sprite then remove the legs and the beak after that I had to get a bowl sprite to put the chicken in then I put tiny half oranges around the chicken so that it looked like veggies.

Next time I make a scratch that is not just information but fun as well. To achieve this goal I will make my game a quiz or a real game, I could make there be roast chickens and fruit platters, stockings or Christmas trees and that you had to click a certain one or answer questions that my sprite has asked.

Fireworks Acrostic Poem

We were learning about Guy Fawkes and his story, we also were learning about writing Acrostic poems. My one was about fireworks, I tried my best to make all the ends of each line rhyme to make it more interesting and attractive.   

I found it easy to publish it on to my slide once I had found the words that made the most sense and rymed in a way that was the most mysterious and moving.   

I found it challenging to find the best words for my acrostic poem. Like I said above I wanted my poem to be mysterious, moving and make the reader feel how it was then.  

Next time I will choose an easier word to base my acrostic poem on because it took me one session and a half just to finish my draft. 

Fake postcard no.2

 We were learning about what is fake and what is real on the internet.

I found it easy to I found it easy to do the writing in the postcard

I found it challenging to make the photo look real.

Next time I will choose an easier background for the photo.
