A drawing of Tristan.



Ordinary, one of a kind,  brave to go to the dump, has a name, Grown up, different, risk-taker, unknown, wonder, worried, lonely and not afraid.

This is my drawing what I think Tristan looks like when he is grown up and some keywords that describes Tristan. Also some questions about Tristan.

Is he responsible for what he is doing?
Does he know where he is going to?
Does he let his parents know?
Does he have any friends?



Sleeping Beauty (The Viewer).





Hi this is my new post about Tristan descended into a restless sleep (The Viewer). Me and my class have read the book and we saw some photos that Tristan was looking at into a machine with a disc in it.chrome-extension://mmeijimgabbpbgpdklnllpncmdofkcpn/app.html#/files/34426091-5c84-4427-y716-aef01f5e3117

2015 Term 2 week 5 the hot red firing ball Mars.




In Week 5 of Term 2 our class focussed on how to write great information reports. We wrote about the planet Mars as we are in the middle of learning about Planet Earth and Beyond. Learning how to write a great information report will help us with our self-guided topics in a few weeks time. Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.


Introduction
Already in five seconds you’ll be taken on a journey facts about Mars. Also these facts about Mars are really interesting because if you have been dreaming about looking at facts about Mars you are looking in the right place.

The Orbit of Mars
Even though Mars is our closest neighbour, its orbit is very different. A Martian day (or how long it takes to rotate once on its axis) is longer than an Earth day and equals 24 hours and 37 minutes. This is because it spins slower than our planet. Moreover, a year on Mars is the same as 687 Earth days! Imagine if you lived on Mars, you would be almost half the age you were on Earth! I am 10 years old and I would be ⅚ if I was in Mars.

Appearance
Mars has red dusty lumpy rocks shaped like a potato. WARNING! watch out dust storm’s are ahead of you remember they destroy everything in their path. Mars is a planet but though there is no H2O. Obvious no humans can ever live there.

Mars is our neighbor so it is the fourth planet from the sun. Do you wonder how old you will be when your age is in earth how old do you think you will be? Though Mars is a planet 2 USA people went to Mars to see was going on wrong when they thought something happened.


Conclusion
Now you have learned so much things if that is not enough well then travel to Mars by clicking on this site down here.

My Reflection: (e.g. what I learnt, what I thought about my work, what helped me improve)...







My Information Report Success Criteria:
Self
Peer
My heading:


  • is an interesting title (I might have phrased the title as a question.)


My opening paragraph:


  • says what my report is about in a clear way


  • gives a general “classification” – and maybe a technical classification


  • outlines the main features of the subject


My main paragraphs:


  • have sub-headings where helpful


  • have clear topic sentences  (topic and main point)


  • are organised so that each paragraph is about a different aspect of the subject


  • give detailed information (factual descriptions)


  • include specific, technical vocabulary


  • are generally balanced (have a similar amount of detail about the different aspects I write about)


  • may have helpful: tables, pictures and/or diagrams to add information


My end paragraph:


  • draws the report together/sums up my main points


  • may give a personal opinion; ask the reader a question and/or tell the reader where further information may be found

Mine craft is a game that is popular around the world I’m going to tell you how to survive your first night in Mine craft.

First thing you need to do is gather wood so you need it for making sticks and planks. Also build a craft table making tools is a bit hard because doing things by hand but it takes a long time.

Next you find somewhere to build a shelter with a door and a roof. Also find a good view and lots of resources nearby for mining later.

Step number 3: Is to build a shelter with a wind a door and a roof make a bed so that it can make dawn come sooner also remember to have a light. WARNING! (The most colossal scariest and angriest also spooky zombies spawn at night in the dark). You can build it in the tree but make sure it is the highest tree in the jungle otherwise you can dig into a side of a mountain.
As soon as, collect resources like food cows pigs mine cobblestone to build a furnace later. Mine sand is something that will be smelting glass later.

Summary:
If you are skilled with from the most vast hard challenges this explanation will help start you off how to survive your first night in Mine craft.

What:
Identifying the authors purpose.








So what:It can help us understand the text. I evaluate the authors thinking and can make sure you understand the main text also that the author can give clues in the text and you can find connectives and you know that you are knowledgeable.

100 Word Challange



The 100 word challange is that when you write a story using the words Gateway, cold, running, black and friend also to see how many words can you write up to 100.




Gateway, cold, running, black and friend



I was late for school that it was cold in the morning and I was still running but I saw my black friend waiting for me as I ran through the gateway so I stopped and walked with my friend and had to burst to go for a drink and rest but then suddenly I told my friend that I felt sick and needed to go to the office to ring my parents to come and pick me up that I felt sick so but when I got home there was no one home because they went somewhere so I went back to school running and said no one was home so I had to wait after school until home time but when we got home there was still no one home so I had to ring my parents but no one answered the phone and all it said was from our parents was sorry kids we left to Australia but there are tickets to come with us on the table but it was eaten all or we thought it was ripped or taken or maybe it was chucked in the rubbish so we had to stay home and look after each other because we had to wait for our parents to come home and take care of us instead of trying to go away from us because.
