Scratch Project

 Today in class we had cybersmart. If you don't know what cybersmart is it's a subject where we learn how to use our chromebooks and how to be safe online, but today we were learning on how to code using a site called scratch. Scratch is a site for people mostly children on how to code and make games. I really enjoyed this project. It was kind of difficult to adjust because I haven't used scratch for a while. I was really excited when my teacher said we had cybersmart because we haven't had cybersmart for a while. If you play my game all the stars will do different things   

My peaceful kingdom

 During week one of term 2 my whole entire class had to write an explanation writing about their room.  I have been working on this piece of writing for two weeks but forgot to publish. This writing was very fun to work on even though it took a long time. In writing our focus was to describe, that's why I had to explain every single detail about my room.  

My Peaceful Kingdom

My room is peaceful, clean, quiet and bright. Unlike my brother's room I like cleaning my room and keeping it clean.

My room is the best room in the house because I can see the sunrise and the sunset. In my room there is a queen bed and a single bed. I just hate seeing my room dirty because it just feels disgusting.

I like it when it is sunny and breezy because I can just lie down and get lost in a book until I fall asleep. Sometimes when I open my windows I can hear tons of birds chirping. It's a very peaceful and relaxing sound. In my room I always feel so free, because I can roam anywhere I want to. I love my room so much I would never trade it for my brother's room. My kingdom still bans the ugly troll known as my brother. 

Samoa Tatau

 During the Samoan language week, my reading group named Ruby Rhinos were learning about the Samoan tatau. Tatau is the Samoan word for tattoo. Both of my parent have the tatau they both of got their tattoos made the traditional way. There are two ways of making the Samoan tattoo. There's the traditional one, and the other that uses a modern tattoo machine. The traditional way of making the tattoo involves a shark tooth! ( I learnt this from the book named Man at sea. ) I enjoyed this activity a lot. Would you want a Samoan tattoo and if you do would you get it done in the traditional way using a shark's tooth?

Story of Abraham and & Sarah

In week 3-4  we had to watch a video about the story of Abraham and Sarah then write a roleplay about them. In my group was Unaise, Mikaela, Paula and myself. I enjoyed this activities a lot and I had absolutely no difficulties.

The story started in Canaan, where there was an old couple named Abraham & Sarah. The old couple wanted kids but Sarah wasn't able to have any children. On one evening, God appeared out of thin air and said "If you believe in me throughout your journey I will give you as many children as the dust particles". Abraham delivered the news to Sarah but she laughed. They started their journey in Ur before walking to Canaan. They waited and waited years passed but Abraham and Sarah we're getting inpatient but they stuck by God's word. Time flew so quickly, it pasted Abrahams 169 th birthday. A few years later Sarah found out she was pregnant. When Sarah got pregnant she named her son Isaac.

Fun fact Abraham & Sarah traveled 700 miles to the borders of present-day Iraq, another 700 miles into Syria, another 800 down to Egypt by the inland road, and then back into Canaan - what is now Israel. 

Have you ever heard the story about Abraham and Sarah?
