Roald Dahl email task

Email Etiquette

In IT this week and last week we learnt about Email Etiquette and how to email a teacher this is what I learnt.I learnt to write an email using the rules on how to write a good email.We did a lot of tasks one of these tasks was to write an email to your class teacher, Mr Walker about camp.


The first rule is to be polite and get to the point in your email.

The second rule is proofread and check the email before sending it.

The third rule is to sign your name and surname so people know who you are.

The fourth rule is to have a subject line so the person who you are emailing knows what you are talking about.

The fifth rule is do not use slang words in an email.


I personally got reminded to remember to put my surname at the end of an email.

Superhero Task

We had to for a week work in pairs but since there were an odd number in the class I worked in a

group of three. My partners were Niah and Willow for this week we had to make our own unique superhero.

The first thing we did was talk to each other and share our  ideas.We agreed the colors must be black and blue for the outfit.My group and I agreed it had to be a girl who was twelve years old with disappearing powers her hair brown and the eyes brown to in her hair was a blue stripe to add to her character feature.

The next day we started to plan on paper of how our character looked like it was then when we decided the name must be Disappearing Demi. Willow drew  Disappearing Demi with the features we agreed from Monday which was yesterday when we were done with drawing the character we moved on to the comic strip for the stopmotion video that was really easy.

Then the next day my group and I started with building the character I did the legs and boots willow did the head and hair Niah did the body.
Than we started with the stopmotion when our character was finished the video took about a day we were laughing a lot because the video was so funny.

This what our superhero looked like:

Disappearing Demi

Poetry

Poetry is when you explain what you feel in a rhyme or it does not have to rhyme but it is poem.
Example of a poem that does not rhyme:

 A good Friend
There is nothing like a good friend
To tell your troubles to
Someone to open up with,
Someone to talk you through,
The highs;The lows,
The every day struggles,
Some one who knows,
Your every quirk and flaw,
Someone who understands your ways,
And loves you after all.

People write poetry to express there feelings and emotions in a nice way.
Our first activity we did was  Terminology when we had to find the meanings of words and record us saying the meaning of the words.Our second task was poetry writing where we had to make a poem of our choice I chose the Haiku poem to make it was so much fun.My third activity was Black out poetry where I had to make a poem using a page from a random book.Our third task was poetry slam where in a group we had to make a poem and perform it to two classes it was very fun.Our fourth activity was Analyzing poems.Where we had to analyzing a poem of our choice.The last task I did was Imagery it was fun to draw what we thought the poem would be like on paper in a drawing.

My favorite  activity was the poetry slam because we had to work in a team and perform.
My least favorite activity was the analyzing poetry because we had to answer questions of a poem of our choice.The most challenging was the analyzing poetry.I was nervous to perform but it was okay when we started.During the ILT I learnt i am very good at making Haiku poems.I did not learn any new words except words from the terminology task.
                                                                                                 

       

  

Choose kind

A Precept is a quote or a motto that you live by.
My motto or Quote this year is the way to have a friend is to be a friend.-Hugh Black
I chose this precept because it speaks to me.It speaks to me because the precept means basically if you are being a good friend you will have a friend and if not you will not have a friend because you are not being a friend. To be a good friend is to be kind and people will start seeing that kindness and will be your friend.If you are not having friends maybe you should look at yourself and change.
If you do not think your friend  is not being a friend you should talk to them it might have a fantastic impact on their life.If you know you have not been a good friend to your friends apologize and change for the better.






 


 

A day in the life and home of a child in an informal settlement

A day in the life and home of a child in an informal settlement.
By:Tatum van der Westhuysen

I woke up on a Monday morning with water dripping on my head it was another leak it felt icy cold on my head.I wish I could live in house without leaks.I got up walked across the room and I slipped because the floor was sopping wet.I was so saw I got up and went outside It was warmer than inside.So I waited in the warmth of the sun until my parents got up.My father started making a fire and my mother went to get water.I really would like clean water to drink.My father and I sat on the floor in silence until he said go get ready for school.I got up and went inside and put on my only clothes. The clothes were not so bad at least they were not wet ,but they were terrible to wear and if only I had proper shoes.when I got outside again.My father had already left for work and Mother was cooking pup.When the pup was ready she said eat up quickly and so I did.I was hungry.Then I had to start my long and tiring journey to school. I was walking on the road to my school when I saw my best friend she was smiling and I smiled back.For the rest of the far way to school Willow my friend and I talked all the way to school.When I got to school finally I felt happy and ready to learn and share my pencils with the other children in my class.So when I was done school me and Willow took the bus home I was glad it was there because I didn't want to have to walk to my house again.When I was in the bus I thought of many things and when it was my stop I got out of the bus and walk from the bus station to my home.I walked for a while till I got home.My parents were already cooking supper on the fire.I talked to my parents for a while until the food was ready.I ate my food in silence taking every bite slowly.When It was finished I went in to the house and fell on my messy bed.In seconds I was a sleep from my tiring day of life.

The Music Inspector visit

My name is Jesse.The singing inspector came to visit our class looking very important .He wore white socks  and a very smart Jacket. He's facial expression was definitely not happy he was more angry.His eyes looked a pretty blue and his hair was a beautiful gold but I did not like him from the start.


When he walked in the classroom for the first lesson on singing.Then the whole class who did singing had to sing la fa me do rah I did not like it.Then he called out two boys called Benny and Charles.He told both the boys to sing a song they knew.The boys said they did not know a song.The singing inspector was very cross. He shouted at Benny and Charles and told them to sing any song and they started to sing pretty Polly. It sounded terrible, then he called me and some weird girl and we had to sing I was shaking but I sang.Then he called Iris and a girl they were so scared they could not sing and then he called to girls to show them how to sing and after that the singing lesson was finally over.
