JS one hundred word challenge
100 word challenge
One regular morning I woke up to find myself on the floor. I looked around the room and my bed was gone. I looked all around the house and I didn't find my bed then I saw a little white, minuscule, bug. It was levitating In the middle of the hallway.
The minuscule bug seemed like it was gripping a miniature version of my bed. I couldn't think of what to do. So I snatched the calendar from the wall and I whacked the bug. It fell on the floor and my bed had returned. The floor had got sticky so I put it in the washing machine.

What I did in quarantine
Wednesday 18th August. We got put back into quarantine I was so exited (Little did i know it was going to be so boring). Day one of quarantine I just sat on the couch and played video games. Pretty boring. Day two I sat on the couch played video games and I went on my motorbike It was a bit better. And today I am writing this blog on the table. I wonder what awaits me tomorrow.

Blogging about Banqer
WALT: Use financial literacy
On Monday Miss Broadwith introduced to us a new platform called Banqer. Banqer is a new website to our school. It teaches you about how you spend and save your money. And at the end of the term we can spend our money on fun activities.
Miss Broadwith has recently been teaching us about words like income, expense and interest. My favorite word is interest. because when you leave money in your savings account for like one year you will gain five percent interest which means if you were to leave one hundred dollars in your savings account for one year it will gain five percent interest and then you will get five dollars for free.
I think this is a really good program that we have. Comment if you enjoyed it or want to give me feedback.

Waitangi Pt2
Last time we went to waitangi we went to see where the treaty was signed/went to the busby house , went on a virtual reality , used a green screen and went on a big walk around waitangi. This time I created a chest that had a spade in in. Then then Karen put me in the virtual world and it looked like i was standing on the chest that I created I think it looks pretty cool. Then some people made wakas, suitcases, houses, ores and some made chests just like me!

Waitangi Pt 1
On Friday we went to Waitangi. We saw where the treaty was signed,went to the busby house,went on a virtual reality, playing around withe some drawing /sculpture platforms and used a green screen. We had a great time!. My favorite was using the green screen it was very fun we had a big green sheet and we were putting it over us and it looked like we had a invisible cloak like harry potter and there was a green screen behind us so it looked like we weren't on earth it was putting us in lava and on a race course.
If you liked my blog post or want to give me feed back comment about our trip to Waitangi I hope you liked it Pt 2 coming soon :-)

Narrative mountain 26/3/2021
Today we were using narrative mountains for structuring our writing.
I found it very interesting because there is layers which most writing doesn't have layers in it. i would love to do it again . This is probably one of the most fun tasks i have ever done.
Now i am going to give you an example from the picture down below

Kiwi can 18/3/2021
Today at Kiwican we played 2 different games one of them was called Hungry hungry hippos in this game we have a cone,skateboard and a ice cream container and the aim of this game was that there is a big bag of ball pit balls and you had to go in with your skateboard lying down or sitting on it and someone in your team pushed you into the middle. You had to get a ball and put it in your container and get back to your team and give them the balls. One ball equals one point whoever gets the most points wins.The second game is called bear,salmon,mosquito. How this game works is when your team chooses a pose which the options are bear,salmon,mosquito. our team won one time and surprisingly I was the leader that round. I found the game pretty fun i would definitely play it again if i could.
If you had liked my blog post please comment so i can learn to get better.

Literacy 17/3/2021
WALT understand and use similes and metaphors to help describe and explain abstract ideas
"This week I was reading two poems called My Gran dad's Hands and Huia"." I had to write a poem about an abstract noun that describes the stories". "And it was super fun I did two of them"." I also learnt about abstract nouns an abstract noun is like an emotion it is something that you can't see or touch"." But an concrete is something that you can see and that is solid".
"Thank you for looking at my blog if I made any mistakes comment so I can learn".
