Instafood

For our instafood we had to draw an image of what we would like to eat. Then we had to describe it with our senses.
This is my writing

Looks like.

“MMMM looks like delicious donuts and ice cream with chocolate sauce.”  “A burger with cheese and a juicy patty lettuce and kiwi classic sauce.” “A breakfast bagel.” “looks to be McDonald's.” “A special home made bun.” “Hey there's an egg.” “It’s a kiwi burger. “Delic!”

Smells like

This smells the best what's that is.MMM smells like a cinnamon and sugar donut. Egg a patty  kiwi classic sauce smells as good as lynx. Ice cream chocolate sauce. Perfect salted chips. Devine. bagel fresh lettuce smells healthy. Sort of. Cheese must be melted must of been in on the patty on the oven. pineapple that's been on the grill. All smells delicious.perfect time to dig in.

Tastes like

Yum this taste like something I have never tasted before. The egg and the patty is the most divine way to have a burger it’s like burger heaven and then the lettuce perfect it is so crunchy and fresh. The bagel pineapple egg lettuce wow juicy and the cooked perfectly not sloppy but not chewy. The chips are salty but perfect and they taste like chips should. The donut and ice cream is the way to end the meal yum. Cinnamon sugar the perfect amount of both on that not douay donut  and the ice cream well the is just the best ice cream I have had in my life. This is so scrumptious.

Dragon slayor

We have been writing a piece of writing in class called the dragon slayer. We watched a video in class And had to describe the dragon slayer man. This is my one

In a time when dragons threatened mankind, there was only one man who fought against them all.  His name is Tarragon. He and his brave battle horse Black Bull, roamed the desert in search of these terrifying monsters. But things don't always turn out as they should…

Well of course tarragon was a dragon slayer. He had one of the toughest jobs in the world. So He had to be strong. That he was but . If you look carefully you can see that he tallies his kills on his shield. He also loves to jingle the money after the fight. That shows that he doesn't like his job he just wants the money. He Is a knight That fights off  all the dragons and keeps all of the world safe.

You can tell he is a real hero. But he doesn't come across happy you don’t want to get in his way. If you know what I mean he thinks he is pretty cool and he might not care about thing but deep down he is a kind and caring guy and he is very likable. He is not a dude that is scared of anything nothing stand in his way. If he gets knocked down he gets back up stronger than before.

Since he is dragon slayer he needs amor so he wears a chest plate a helmet with horns and shoulder spikes to keep him safe. And wow he is scary the size of his muscles is amazing. His chin sticks out as far as the interstate. And his nose has a peak as high as mt everest. he had a biggish build and his eyes and legs looked out of place they are so small His leg are like sticks. His jaw is very wide to.

ANZAC Dulce et decorum est

For writing we have bee reconstructing a poem following the structure of Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilford Owen.
Miss Hooper read us instructions and we constructed our poem about ANZAC and the war

Here is my poem:

The Soldier's tale

We have been here for months now, getting quite sick, all coughing, our legs in pain.

There is mud everywhere, men wounded by gunshots,     

Right at the frontline trying to get back to safety boom boom guns fire.

I get behind to the civilized side of the war, I can now rest, I leave all the flares and cannons,

Men too exhausted to think so many men have no boots with cuts on their feet.

It is agony to walk men moving like they are drunk,

They are all too weakened  and have torn clothes

Most men are unfortunate and don’t hear the gas shells dropping behind them.

Gas gas! Hurry up and put your masks on.

It's a shambles I don’t know if I have enough time to get this awkward thing on

A man is shouting he has been too slow, the gas gets into his lungs.

He is stumbling around like a made man

The gas is thick now.  It is a greenish color.

I look around all I can see is a big green gastly cloud of gas.

My comrade comes running up to me. He has no mask. Gas is getting into his lungs

He is coughing horribly I am helpless I want to help. I know he is going to die.

His face is going really gray. We carry him to the wagon, I put him on

We walk behind the wagon as he twists and turns in pain.

It is awful he is going white, his head is rolling freely

His eyes are rolling, he is slowly dying in agonizing pain

Every bump it gets worse,

The blood is gurgling in his lungs,

All the mucus is coming up from his inside,

The sound is the worst in the world. One You Never want to here

If you experienced this first hand like me,

You could never say that it is glorious to die for you contory.

These things that I have described to you,

I have to live with for the rest of my life.

Scratch Maze Game

We have been learning how to code so that we can present our learning in a new way.  I have created a maze game using coding.

Powtoon

In class we have been learning about the author's purpose. We had to make powtoons about it. This is mine

MY questions about the flag.

 In our inquiry sessions we had to come up with 3 questions around the flags. We also had to come up with some google search tips here are mine

	Question 1 Why did John Key and the national party decided to have a flag referendum in the first place	Question 2 What do the new and the old NZ flag stand for.	Question 3 Who designed the new NZ flag
Source 1	https://www.national.org.nz/news/news/media-releases/detail/2014/10/28/first-steps-taken-towards-flag-referendum He and national party think it is time for nz to think about changing the flag And he think that it is time to change	https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/new-zealands-flag-you-decide/ The black on the ne flag stands for the color that we have become The blue on the new flag stand for the blue sky and the seas The southern cross on both of the flags stand for our place on the land and the ocean It is a symbol of the land of NZ The blue on the old flag comes from the Blue Ensign and represents the land and the sea The union jack stands for our relation to England	https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/the-five-alternatives Kyle lockwood
Source 2	http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/calls-new-flag Some people don’t think that the Union Jack Should be a symbol on our flag People say it is too similar to the Aus flag		https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/gallery/ Kyle Lockwood
Source 3
Own words	John Key and the national party decided to have a flag referendum because many people think that the Union Jack should not be representative of NZ and it is too similar to the Australian flag. John Key and the national party think it is time that we think of changing the flag.	The black on the new flag stands for the color that we have become. The blue on the new flag stand for the blue sky and the seas. The southern cross on both of the flags stand for our place on the land and the ocean It is a symbol of the land of NZ. The blue on the old flag comes from the Blue Ensign and represents the land and the sea. The union jack stands for our relation to England	Kyle lockwood

ANZAC LOGO

For our reading workspace we had Create an anzac logo This was the success criteria:

• Your design must be unique
• Explain why you have chosen the colours you have used.
• Explain why you have chosen the words and vocab you have used.
• Explain why you have chosen the images you have used.

This was mine

I have put the word anzac at the top in really big writing because it is the main part of what the logo is about. Then on both sides of it I have put a poppy because that is how we remember the people that died in war and also the first flower to grow in the flounder fields. Under them is the New Zealand and Australian flag. I have put those two flags there because New Zealand and Australia fought together in the war. Then I put the words Australia New  Zealand Army Corps because that is what anzac means. I used the color red for the main color in the words because It is the color of the poppy and blood. And I also used the color black because in the war it was smoggy and the sky was mostly dark.

ANZAC ART

For our anzac art we have had to do in class we made an anzac soldier silhouette art. This is how we did it.
-First we found an image on the internet
-Then we cut it out
- Glued it onto a black piece of paper
-Then cut the picture out again
-Then glue black piece onto a white piece of paper
-Then glue black outline onto a white piece

This is my one
