My cool Moari scratch.

 Hi guys today we are going to be looking at a cool starch that I made all about how to say  what is the weather in Maori and how to answer in Maori.If you don't know what it is saying it is saying "what is the weather " and then the other person says that it is MAKARIRI which means that is cold.

My amazing Isabel storyboard.

 For literacy we have been reading Refugee by Alan Gratz.   We looked at the main character, and picked 3 words to describe them.  I picked Isabel.

For our create task, we had to use Storyboard that, and pick one of our describing words to storyboard.  We needed to think about what happened just before that scene, and just after and how we could show emotion in our characters face.

I decided to show when she had just come back to the house and when she walked in she could see that he mum,dad and grandfather were fighting,about her father leaving Cuba and then she started to cry about what was happening . I showed this through how she walked in she looked at them because she didn't know what was happening and she could see them shouting and fighting about it.

Anzac Cove landing by the ANZACS

In literacy at the moment we are learning about WW1 and in particular, the role the ANZACS played in it.

We know that the ANZACS landed at ANZAC cove on April 25th, 1915.  They arrived by boat, and were greeted by a beach that was in chaos, steep, rugged cliffs and the Turks firing at them from the top of the cliffs.

Many men lost their lives that day, many never made it to the beach.  The ones that did were about to start a long journey filled with tears, despair and sadness.

This animation is to show the landing at ANZAC Cove.

Do you know much about the ANZACS or their landing?

Sorry if it is not good because i have not finished it but this is what i have gotten done so far.

My cool Minecraft camp.

Minecraft Education Refugee Camp

Over the past three weeks in literacy, we have been reading about refugees and looking at what refugee camps look like.  

Do you know that there are millions of refugees currently living in refugee camps all over the world.  These people have had to flee their home countries due to war, unrest, famine, riots, terrorist attacks and more.  Some have been living in these camps for years, with no sign of leaving.

The conditions are terrible.  There are lots of disease, crowded living areas, they are hot in summer and freezing in winter.

Our task was to recreate a refugee camp in Minecraft education, incorporating all the things we had learnt about them.

Have you ever read or watched anything about refugees before?
