2 days ago, we had our E-AsTTle writing tests, and had 40 minutes to complete them. I wrote 10 paragraphs in that time, and used these tools in the document below to help me. I heavily recommend you try them.

A few days ago, Mr Gray took photos of his farm animals, and we had to caption them for a specific audience, and I chose my classmates. I found this quite tricky, because I decided to change fonts, and it was hard finding them all. There were 3 options of photos that we could choose, and I decided to do this because it looked like it gave me a lot of options of text I could put it. Let me know what you think and how I could change it!

Today, Johnnie Timu came over from South Auckland to us here at New Brighton Catholic School to teach us about reading, gratitude, and more. Johnnie Timu is the Director of Brown Pride. We also received Duffy Books. I typically choose big books now, so I received One Wrong Step by Jennifer A Nielson, and Refugee by Alan Gratz. Here are a few photos of those books.

Yesterday, I finished a comparison about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and Influenza virus (Spanish Flu). I put a lot of research and tried to get as much evidence as I physically and possibly could within the deadline. I think I did pretty well, but we can all find ways to do better with help, so here is what I did.

A few days ago, I began a little project for our CyberSmart task. We had to make a poster that encouraged you to not break or damage your chromebook. Pairing up with Makua, we took a photo with Mrs Gordon’s phone, and then I edited it to look like there was a figure, always making sure you stayed on task. I think it looks cool, but I’m always open to feedback. Here it is:

Since around the start of this week, we have been learning a lot about religions. We had to do an activity that basically made us describe that religion, and I chose Catholicism. I learned a lot, like there are more than one types of angels, such as the Seraphim, Cherubim, and many more. Below is what I made.
What else could I add?

For the past 2 weeks, we have been doing an activity for my reading group about the environment and how to help it. I decided to do it on Canva. We had to answer four questions in our opinion, the first one being “Why you think it is important to look after the environment you live in?” I found this task quite hard to answer, trying to get at least 2 small paragraphs in. Here is the slide:
