Creative Response


Hey Bloggers, I'm back!
Today I am going to be sharing my Novel Study work but I am going to be sharing the second part which is the creative part! Last term, the Novel Bunch, (MY GROUP) were doing Novel Study and the other groups were doing school Journal or what they would do and in that time was to answer the questions, and complete 3 activities based on a couple of chapters. There were 2 books, 'My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece' the book that I read and 'The Boy In The Striped Pajamas'. 

This Term the whole class apart from 1 group, is doing Novel Study. We all chose a book and we had to read it. We then had to write a summary for each one, answer 3 critical questions which have to be different for each chapter, find words that we don't understand from that chapter, write the meaning and then we have to also do the Even or Odd activity depending on what the chapter is. If it's an odd chapter, then we had to find 4 Verbs, 4 Nouns, 4 Adjectives and 4 Syllables that have 3 or more syllables. We have to complete these for each chapter.

Once we have done that, we then do the second part to it. We have to then make a story web, illustrate a main character and a character that was like a secondary character I guess or a Protagoras and an antagonist, write a problem and the solution to it, characters that have changed and a book review.

The book that I was reading is Called Parvana. 

Here is my creative work which I have done on Canva and then inserted into Slides because I could not embed it or upload it onto blogger! I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions, then please ask! Otherwise, until next time, goodbye!

Lets make some Pizza, or should I say facciamo della pizza?


Hello bloggers, I'm back!
Today I am going to be doing my Home Learning Blog Post for this week. If you don't know what I have to do for my homework each week then keep reading otherwise skip to the next paragraph. Each day, we have to read for at least 20 mins and we also have to do 10 mins or more of Maths Whizz too. Or 1 progression but to get reward time, we must have 40 mins or more or at least 4 progressions. We also have to do our Home Learning Activity which we find on our site and then we complete the activity and post it onto our blog!

Okay! So for this week, I have decided to this activity, 'Food Review Bake food and review it. Make sure you show the process!'. I have decided to do this activity because I felt like doing it and we were making PIZZA! Yay! And I didn't know when we were going to bake something else. 



I am going to be including some facts about Pizza and then actually showing my completed work! 



  • The first Pizza that was thought to be invented was in Naples, Italy in the early 1500's! That was ages away, to be precise, well if you count it from 1500 then that would be 519 years ago! 
  • The first Pizzeria was opened in 1800's! That was 300 years after it was made!
  • Although Pizza is a very popular choice in America, it wasn't popular until after WWII.
  • The most expensive Pizza in the world almost costs...  9000 Euros! Gee! I then went onto google and I put it into NZ Dollars! Which then came up with 15,454.54! If we had to round it up to the nearest ten then it would be 15,455. 
  • NASA funded and tested a 3-D printer that can make Pizza for astronauts! Well that is very impressive and helpful. But does it taste the same is the questions? What do you think?
Now I am going to be showing you the steps I guess! 

I just want to say that the Pizza that we make at home is a bit different from maybe what you would have or what so yeah!

First off, you make the Pizza Dough which is just normal and you wait and everything. You then spread or put the toppings on I guess. After that, you leave it in the Oven to bake! Yay! Making the Pizza's is pretty normal but the toppings that we put is a bit different because we put the sauce on, we also put the cheese as normal but sometimes, we put some chives, capsicums or bell peppers and we also put some meat on. Sometimes we just have like just cheese and sauce Pizza which I like the best but it has to have a lot of cheese though! I love cheese on Pizza!

That is it for today, I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions then please ask! Otherwise, until next time, goodbye!

Maths DLO!


Hey bloggers, I'm back!
Today I am going to be sharing a DLO that I made and it is about Maths. What I had to do was pick 2 things or more that I learnt for Maths for the past 5 weeks and I kind of had present it. I made this for something else but I just decided to blog about it too. I tried to make everything very bold and colourful. What do you think?

Something that I kind of found hard was maybe copying and pasting things and editing the size to make it right because I had to do that a lot of times. Before this, I was making a video but it took a long time so I just made this instead. I also made the presentation different at first too but then I changed it to this.

Here is my presentation, I hope you enjoy! If you have questions then please ask! Otherwise, until next time, goodbye!

Infogram!


Hey bloggers, I'm back!
Today is Monday and I am going to be completing my Home Learning Blog Post for this week. If you don't know what we have to do for out Homework then keep reading otherwise go to the next paragraph. We have to do 10 mins or more of Maths Whizz, 20 mins of Reading and complete a Home Learning Blog Post as well. We have to all of these each night apart from the Home Learning Blog Post because we have to do it once each week! There are some activities that we find on our website for our Home Learning and then complete that.

For this week, I have decided to do this activity: Find a new website, you can create/share your learning, make sure you blog about your experience. I have found a new website for me, you may have used it a couple of times or maybe you already knew about it but I don't think my class knows about the website that I chose. I have included some things about the website and I used Infogram because that was the website that I found. 

Here is my work, I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions then please ask! Otherwise, until next time, goodbye!

Bridge To Terabithia


Hey bloggers, I'm back!
Today I am going to be sharing with you a long write that I wrote yesterday, which was Tuesday. If you don't know, every Tuesday we have a long write and after a week or a couple of weeks, we have a different writing unit. For this week, we had a sheet with some pictures on it. There were 3 mythical creatures, a boy named Jess but we couldn't see the face and a girl named Leslie which we couldn't see the face of either. There were also a pair of shoes, a house and a bridge.


We had to to come up with a story and we didn't realize that it was the main things from Bridge To Terabithia until it almost came to an end. Some of the kids had realized it and were very eager and then when I thought about it more, I also realized it as well. 


We watched 10 minutes of the movie and I had seen the whole movie a couple of times so I already knew what was going to happen but we were asked to carry on and it had to be like a diary entry. 

Here is mine, I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions then please ask! Otherwise, until next time, goodbye! 

MY WRITING!

Dear diary, today might be the worst day ever! Nope, this is the worst day ever. It all started when I woke up as usual and did my morning chores as usual. Next I went for a long run, which was very nice, although I got very sweaty. Chirping from every side, the birds flew over me and ducked in the trees only to repair again but somewhere else. I could hear the water stream get louder and louder as I got closer. I ran a lot so I decided to have a sit down and admire the beautiful scenery. It never failed to make me feel calm. I could see colourful fish swimming about's with their shiny scales of armor gleaming in the sun. I jumped up, did some warm ups and made my way back to the house. I was so puffed and hungry when I got there that I just went straight to the table and had some breakfast. The juice was delicious but everyone was arguing and complaining about how I smelt. I quickly had my food and then I rushed upstairs and got cleaned up. 

After I had cleaned up, things went bad. My mother had thrown on shoes out! Although my shoes were worn out, I didn’t have other shoes but they told me to wear girl sneakers. Seriously! I got so mad but I didn’t say anything. That's when Dad came and then he also said that it was fine and that I should just wear those shoes. Out of all the colour PINK! You could tell they were girl shoes. I was not going to go to school like that, but an idea had struck me like a lightning bolt. I would just colour the pink parts with a black marker. Although I had to do more than half of it. Sometimes, I call myself a genius and although I felt good about this, I knew that someone would see my shoes and make fun of me. Especially the school bully. 

After that, I had to fix the pipes and all of the water squirted on me like watering hose, not only wetting my face but also wetting my clothes as well, wait a go! I didn’t think that things could get any worse but it was possible. I then heard the annoying honk of the school bus coming along with the sound of the bus driving and the kids shouting loudly. I quickly run and then the school bully, Janice kept calling me farm boy or something which made me heated but made everyone else laugh. I slumped in a seat and that was when my annoying little sister came and sat next to me asking what my teaches name was. Her name was Mrs Myer’s, but everyone calls her Monster Myer's, including myself. The reason why was because, well she wasn’t really one of those teachers who were nice. In fact, I don’t even think that the other teachers or principal liked her. 

After a long and boring bus drive, we had reached the school. I walked to my school taking my time because I was in no rush and didn’t care at all about being late. If I  had the choice, I wouldn’t even go to Miss Myer’s class at all. Maybe I could Fire her or something. Okay maybe not. The bell rings just as I walk through the class. Most of the kids were already sat down but the one’s who hadn’t ran and sat in their seats before Monster Myer’s came. Having to listen to her blabber on about things I didn’t care about wasn’t boring enough but having to deal with 2 knuckleheads, Lincoln and Aiden was even worse. Lincoln was sitting next to me and Aiden was behind. He had seen my shoes and was making fun of it. Who was he to make fun of my shoes like that? All he was, is a big bag of dirt. 
She was teaching history but honestly what is the point of learning about people who are already dead? 

That was when the principal came in with a new student, her name was Leslie and she had brought a lot of books. Which she probably didn’t even need. It was almost break time  and she told us that for our homework, we had to write a one page essay but something that we like. Isn’t that awesome! Then this girl named Zoe (AKA- the class nerd), asked if she meant 1 side of the page or 2 sides. Monster Myer’s said 1 side but then she was all like, ‘Ohh, I’m gonna do 2 sides.’ Show off. 

A lot of things had happened that day, but what happened next made me soooo mad! You see, we always have a race and it was just for boys, I always run in the race thinking that I might win this time. I stood in line and did some warm ups, that was when Aiden and Lincoln came and stood on either side of me. Leslie, the new girl, took her place on the end of the line that's when Aiden told her she wasn’t allowed to but she didn’t care one bit. On your marks, get set, go! That’s when Lincoln pushed me back making me start after everyone else which gave them a head start. I wasn’t going to give up and I felt like I could win the race. I kept running and running. Before I knew it, I was in front of everyone and I was winning, there were only a couple of more steps until the finish line. I could actually win this race. Or not. Leslie, the new girl just made it and bet me to it. Making me come second. That was the worst thing that happened to me today, seriously. I would have rather jumped in a tub full of ice instead of having to come second. I was so happy and I was so close, but no. Leslie had to come and ruin everything. Lets see, yelled at because I was STINKY, getting squirted with water in the face, getting picked on by the school bully, having to write a long essay about my hobbies and getting beaten by a girl. Can things get any worse than that? Okay diary, that was my day today. What an awesome day I had. (NOT!) See you later diary, I might draw a bit to make me feel better. BYE!

Should we have Homework?

Hey bloggers, I'm back!

Today I Tuesday and I am going to be blogging about my Home Learning Activity that I have done for this week. I usually do it on Mondays, and I did complete it but I just didn't post it though. What we have to do for our Homework for each week is that we have to complete a Home Learning Activity which we find from our class site and we also do 10 minutes or more of Maths Whizz.


For this week, I have decided to do this activity 'Small Persuasive Speech, on why we shouldn't have homework and film yourself saying it!' I did film it but the speech was too long and wouldn't upload to my drive or onto blogger which was annoying. I guess that I just have to share my speech that I wrote.

Something I found challenging was finding the facts and especially when I searched up who had made homework and it came up with everything so I search about his birth and death. It said the dates and the reason why it confused me was because one of the dates was 1 year after he was born which means when he was one. The other one was many years after his death. Doesn't make sense to me. 

Here is my speech I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions then please ask! Otherwise, until next time, goodbye! 

HERE IS MY SPEECH! HOPE YOU ENJOY! 

Are you sick and tired of doing Homework every day? Honestly, sometimes I don’t mind doing Homework and all but sometimes, I get a bit sick of doing it. Hello, my name is Parwin and I think that we should have Homework, but not too much. Now, first of all, who invented Homework? I mean, we have to go to school, every weekday and for 6 hours, then we have to come home and do some work! Well, according to google, Roberto Nevilis invented Homework and he was from Italy. He was born in 1904 and died in 1954. He also invented Homework in 1995 or 1905 which doesn’t make sense because if he had invented it in 1995, which he couldn't, unless, it was his soul or ghost. And if he did it in 1905, he would have been one, I don’t think he invented when he was 1 because, no that doesn’t make sense. Anyways, I have some reasons why we should have homework, but not too much!

Reason Number One-
As I had said before, we go to school for 6 hours a day but then teachers make us do homework. Now, sometimes, homework is fun and I agree with that but somethings aren’t fun though. For example, having to write a 1 page essay about a historical person that you haven’t even met. I mean, what if those things weren’t even true about that person in the first place. That compared to doing some fun things like the things that I get to do. What I do 10 mins or more of Maths Whizz and pick an activity which I find from my class site.

Reason Number Two-
Okay, now what does Homework actually do? Well, it encourages us to complete tasks independently and I think that it is good because what it does to us is good. We also learn new things, like I learnt this fact as well and I am writing this for my homework. I saw this thing and it said why do we need homework and it have some things like Music- YouTube,  Sport- WiFi, 
Spanish- Dora, English- Everything, Math- That’s why we have calculators, Geography- I’ll buy a globe, History- They’re all dead anyway. This sort of made me laugh.

Have you agreed with me? If I were honest, my speech was going to be about why we shouldn’t have Homework but not that I think about and searched some things up, I then changed my mind. What do you think? Do you agree with me? I think that we should have Homework, but just not too much. What do you think? Should we have no homework or should we have homework but not too much?

Aquaman is the best movie!


Hey bloggers, I'm back!
Today I am going to be sharing my Home Learning Blog Post for this week. I have decided to TRY and always do it on Monday so that I can get it out of the way. What we have to do each week is to post and complete one of the activities that we can find on the site along with some Maths Whizz and some reading too. 

I have decided to an activity where I have to make a Biteable or an Animation about a TV show or Movie that I really like. I have chosen to pick a Movie and I have explained why I like it, I have done an Animation. I was doing it on Biteable but it had updated and I couldn't really make it so I just did an Animation instead. Something that I sort of found tricky was controlling the things on Biteable. 

Here is my work, I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions then please ask! Otherwise, until next time, goodbye! 


What is your favourite Movie/Tv Show and why?

Very Descriptive writing!


Hey bloggers, I'm back!
Today I am going to be sharing my writing that I did Yesterday with you. For the last couple of weeks, we have been learning about how to write a moment in time. Which is basically when you write a descriptive story but it has to be in Present Tense which can sometimes be a bit hard. 


I found that part tricky at first but then I got better and better. Yesterday, we the topic that we were writing about was 'the Marketplace' and we had to write something in present tense which included our senses and it had to be able to create a picture in the reader's mind.

I have already shared something similar to do this but it was a different story that I wrote like last week maybe or something. But I am going to be sharing my writing that I did yesterday!

I would like some feedback on how to make my writing better!

Does it create a picture in your head? Do I have any errors? Can I improve on anything? What do you think?

Here is my writing, I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions then please ask! Until next time, goodbye!

MY STORY!

The sun is a great ball of fire, shining on the tents of the roofs. The shops were selling all sorts of things. There were bits and bobs, mis-matching things. Each shop is selling something different like some of them were selling pots and pans where as the other is selling vegetables and some big turnips. I walk around the market glancing around myself, trying to take everything in. Everything is just so colourful and beautiful here. 

Sweetness floods into my nose like a great tide, grasping to me. I can smell something very sweet like honey. If I were a cartoon character, then I would be floating and following the scent. Around the corner, I see tons of shops that are selling different types of foods like fries, to cotton candy, popcorn! Yum! My mouth starts watering but I keep going on. I look around and I see something big, blocking out the sun. It is a caste. A bouncy castle to be exact and the kids loved it because they climbed up the bouncy castle like little mice and jumped down screaming like headless chickens. This really makes me laugh.

Munching on some kettle corn, I walk around. The sky is crystal clear and there were no clouds in sight. The popcorn is sweet, salty and savory all at once. It’s like there are fireworks in my mouth, each exploding with a different and unique flavour. Thirst is now overcoming hunger and I am now craving for water. The popcorn tastes like so many different flavours that I had made me very thirsty. Like a simple, small, stale plant, I waited for the water to cool we down. I felt like a dehydrated plant in the middle of a barren wasteland.

Strolling around the shops, I stop because of a melodious voice. I suddenly forget about everything and listen the song, it felt like it is some type of magic, it is beautiful. The song finishes and the audience claps and cheers loudly. They all looked delighted by the slow and calm song. But they are craving for another song. The singer hesitates before the music starts again but only this type it is an upbeat song and everyone stood up and dances around. One of the people who are dancing, reminded me of a cat. They have an expression of a happy cat playing with Yarn. 

Flapping my hair, the warm breeze slaps into me, making me even warmer. The warm breeze automatically turned to a cool refreshing breeze like a light switching on. I can hear high pitched laughs and low pitched laughs. The laughter a cage, imprisoning me. The laughter all around me makes me laugh which then makes me laugh even more because I am laughing at the fact that others were laughing. It felt nice to be somewhere happy. Somewhere safe. And somewhere full of tranquil and wacky.

Debating whether I should stay longer or not, I see a small patch of grass and a small stand there too. Behind the stand, is a little boy who is selling some toys. Stitches were covering the toys and the toys looked worn out, ready to retire. I walked onwards but then a tide of guilt came crashing inside of me. I walk back and buy a toy. It is a Mr Potato which only had an eye, arm and legs. Jumping up in joy, the little boy puts the money in his pocket and I walk on. The sky is now turning into orange as the blue disappears, little by little. I thinks it’s time to go…
