Grit and Perseverance

 Kia Ora Bloggers and welcome back to my blog, this week for reading we were learning about Grit and Perseverance. I created a google drawing about Grit and Perseverance. On my google drawing I have what I already knew about Grit and Perseverance and what I now know. My google drawing also has a little story on when I used Grit and Perseverance. There are a lot of famous athletes out there who use Grit and Perseverance like Sophie Pasco and Usain Bolt. Grit and Perseverance is about not giving up and keep on going.

Why Schools Should Not Ban Junk Food

 Kia Ora Bloggers and welcome back to my blog, this week we were in lock down so we had to distance learning. For writing we had to make a speech on why schools should or should not ban junk food. I chose to write about why school should not ban junk food. I wrote my speech bit by bit. 

First I started with a title 

Then I did a introduction stating my opinion and rhetorical question

Next I did 2-3 sentences with 3 different ideas

After that I did a summary/ending 

And lastly I did a complex, compound and simple sentence.

Here is my Speech

Why Schools Should Not Ban Junk Food

                   

Schools should not ban junk food. Well I know what most parents will be thinking,

most parents will be against me cause junk food is not good for you.

Don’t waste your time peeling mandarins or cutting apple slices.

You can just put some junk food in their lunch box and it's good to go.

You can just have a piece or two of fruit after school to balance out all that bad sugar.

If you have junk food for lunch it will help you get through the rest of the day.

And because of the reasons above I believe that junk food should be allowed at school.

If schools ban junk food the kids will be unhappy. I don’t think that schools should ban junk

food, it’s true all kids love it! We all love junk food.

Are you against me and thinking that schools should ban junk food or are you with me and schools should not ban junk food?

House of Bricks

 Kia Ora Bloggers and welcome back to my blog, this term for PBL ( Project Based Learning ) we have been learning about being kind and happy. One Friday someone from House Of Bricks came to our school and let us play with there Lego bricks. We got to do 3 activity one before morning tea, one after morning tea and one after lunchtime. 

My favourite Lego activity was passing the brick activity because I was making a mysterious 

garden and it turned out kind of what I wanted but it turned out a little bit scarier than I imagined. 

 

My least favorite Lego activity was the car building because it was a little bit hard but I had a buddy to help me.

My buddy's car broke at the end of the ramp. My buddy and I learned that putting more weight at the

back makes your car go further.

The activity that tested my perseverance the most was the mosaic because it was challenging

to think of what design I was going to do and it was also challenging to make your design

look the same as what you were imagining 

The most challenging activity was passing the brick activity because it

was really hard to get your creation back and it was not like I had imagined. 

I enjoyed  working collaboratively with others because I liked working with

someone because if I needed help I could talk to someone and they could help me.

What is your favorite thing to build out of lego?

Umbrella Writing

 Kia Ora Bloggers and welcome back to my blog, this week for writing we wrote a story based on a video we watched. The video was trying to teach people to use Empathy. Empathy is about putting you in someone else's shoes. 

Here is the video we watched

We only wrote up to when the girl could not find her umbrella. In the story that we wrote we used lots of adjectives and similes. Here is my story

-Umbrella -

One damp Evening, the door to Miss Elem’s Home for Children opened wide. The girl with the Vibrant glossy yellow umbrella, reverently entered the orphanage before finding a home for her umbrella. Not wanting to be seen. Boris quickly slowly peered his head around the door frame so that he was hidden from view. Standing off to the side the girl observed the happy scene while the children searched in the box hidden treasures. The girl smiled while she watched the young boy flying around the room like a racing car. Her smile dissolved immediately as she saw were puddles of water. Her beloved umbrella had vanished in thin air.

Can you spot any Similes in my story?
