The Last Days Of School...

Wow it is the last days of school and I am so exited. People are moving all of the furniture. My class has not moved yet but that is okay because we get to keep our stuff longer then the other classes. I can not wait for the holidays so I do not have to wake up early.

Well some classes are on free time and the others are playing some games with their class mates and their teachers. My class is having free time because we have neetbooks. I love watching people having fun.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

My reflection

How has having a netbook connected to the internet helped my learning this year?

• What special thing have you learnt from your teacher this year?

On my netbook I have been using math whizz, xtra maths and our class site this has tort me my - + x % and my decimals.  

• What significant thing have you learnt all by yourself - maybe online

               I have learnt who to speak proper english.

• What have you learnt from your friend this year

               My best friend Keis has helped me with my maths whizz. My friend sarah has helped me at literacy work.

• What have you learnt from someone outside of your classroom this year (ie not teacher or classmate)
• My Dad and my mom helped me with some of my work
• How have you helped other kids learn this year

               I have helped some of my classmates with some of my work.

• How have you grown your key competencies through using digital tools this year

               I do not have to go to the teacher for him to mark my work I can go on the class site and      share it with him.

So the lazy turkey woke up and all he was thinking about was his toast. So he went to his kitchen and pull out some bread from the freezer and got the knife, butter and the marmite from the  cupboard and started to make his toast.

Then the Toast Popped (POP) and it was black because it was burnt. He was so sad and he was crying he did not know what to do he panicked and panicked. He was devastated so he got a napkin and put it on a plate and took it to the backyard. After that he berrien it in a hole in the bushes.

A few minutes later his grandmother came and said “What are you doing?” He was crying and said “ My toast died it went black” “Well Make another one” Said his grandmother “you are right thank you” said Turkey. And he lived happily ever after with his new toast named Toast.

Facts About Sheep!!!

My edited version of plane crash

One morning at the airport there were 50 people going on a private  jet. They were very rich so they asked for the best pilot they have at that airport . The pilots name was Jess she was the best pilot.The boss of the whole airport was mark. The backup pilot was Kyle he was very jealous of Jess because he never got a trophy.

So Jess and the 50 people headed off to scotland in there fantastic jet. Sooner after they left they almost made it to scotland so the pilot pulled out the landing gear but it was stuck to the side the pilot was panicking so she hit the brakes. Shockingly the  jet started to drop and it crashed in the middle of nowhere.

Luckily the  50 people only has minor injuries and severe burns. Then they looked at the plane and it caught on fire. So they headed off to find some people for help. Then the 50 people all huddled up while the pilot went to find someone for help and one of them said “ I think that the pilot did it on purpose” “yeah” said the other person. After that the pilot came back and said “ sorry there is no one here we are going to have to find our own food and drinks. “And I heard you say  I crashed on purpose but I didn't” The people believed her and off they went.

The next day all of the people could smell pork because the pilot found a pig and killed it.

“Wakey- Wakey rise and shine” said the pilot here is some food for us. When they finished their food they went off to make there own clothes out of leaves and leopard skin and so forth.

The girls had  cheater skin as a top and flax as their skirts with flowers, on the other hand the the boys had pants made out of monkey fur and leopard skin as there tops.

The next morning when they woke up they heard a helicopter coming to rescue them so they climbed up  the ladder and went back to New Zealand to their family and Jess got fired.

solution They are ritch they get to eat the lion dies they lived happy	setting A big farm it is winter `night time farm og hey huge

Once upon a time when it was freezing cold and the tree’s where icey there lived a poor family that had no home at all they lived in a hut they made. The Old Man’s name was Michael his wife’s name was Angel and they had two twins named Jackson and Merry. The kids were 6 years old. They all lived in bazuma!...

... Once when the old man named Michael  went off to get something to eat because it was time for dinner. It was an hour sins the old man Michael went to get dinner and that is because he had to hide from a !big!  lion it was hungry as well as them. The old man Michael  had to hide in the nearest bushes so the lion could not see him. Then He said “Hi lion come to papa” so the lion rushed to the man Michael.

After that the man Michael went to His hut and said “sorry my good family but dinner may take a while” and grabbed the butcher knife and said “bye bye” He did not know that there was a man named Chris was making a documentary of poor people. The lion found the man Michael  and ran to him then the old man Michael got the butcher knife and cut it up and said “wow! that was easier than it looked. The old man Michael picked the lion up and took it home for dinner.

3 hours after they finished eating there food the man Chris who was making the documentary came over and said “ wow! that was amazing how you cut that lion up I was making a documentary about poor people (No offence”) “It’s alright” said the wife of Michel. How would you like to be rich in a fancy house with all of the food you can eat and all of the space you can have and I will take you shopping for things?. “yes!!!” said the Family and went into limo.
