FAKE NEWS

Every Monday we learn about media with Mark Maddren just in case you don't know who he is

i added his last name.

He teaches cyber smart and computer stuff with us kids.

Today we learned about fake and real links and websites. if a link is spelt correctly and looks trust worthy 

then go onto the site and proof check it. If there are nothing that looks fake then its OK.

If the website is spelt incorrectly or has .co.com at the end then its fake. 

This is a fake news report that i made and the link at the bottom Is NOT real i made that up too.

 

The book club that I am doing

Hello I'm Adam and i'm going to tell you about what a book club is. 

What it is. A book club is a large or small group of readers who read the book they chose. Then talk about the figurative language and the vocabulary they found.

How to enter. people usually join book clubs by signing up for them or they just do it they ask people if they want to join and that's that they joined. 

Me and some of my friends are in a book club .We are reading a book called Dark stone eye. This book

is about the war and how these people fought to protect a brooch which means amulet. 

This book also talks about the war and a man called Billy bobby Burton .

In our book clubs we have to do some things that help with our book club.

The first one is translator. This job is to  collect all of the figurative language that you can find in the book.

Then you discuss the best one and add that to your booklet.

The second one is illustrator. This job is to discuss your favorite part of the story. 

The same as the translator you find the best one and add it to your booklet.
The third one is the editor. The editor's job is to find a word you don't understand 

then write it down in your ticket. if you find a word the same as your other member and you both agree about the word then you write it down in your booklet 

Now the last on is publicist. their job is to find the best paragraph you red if you all agree then you write the page and paragraph in your booklet.

What is a Polygon?

Our class has been learning about polygons. A polygon means many sides .

We have learnt polygons are 2 dimensional shape that have straight lines 

Polygon shapes are shapes that connect together and have no intersecting lines,curved lines and shapes That don't connect. 3D shapes are not polygon shapes either.

 This shows what the names for the different polygons are 

cultural festival

On Wednesday 28 October our Kapa Haka group performed in cultural festival 2020 at Horn castle arena.

First we got to school and applied black eye liner and sorted our uniforms. 

Once we got our uniforms on we had morning tea . We then put our lunch boxes away and lined up to go onto the bus. We then got on the bus and waited for the bus to go. the bus ride was normal so don't bother asking how it went. We then arrived at Horn castle and sat down on the grass. We sat on the grass to wait for other schools to arrive. after that we got in the building and sat down for longer to wait for our turn. soon a lady came and gave us instructions for what we need to do. we then walked into the hallway 

making our way to the backstage area. We waited for the group that was on to finish their performance.

the other group got off and we got on. it was very scary at first in front of a lot of people but we got used to it. about 13 minutes later we finished we went out the side and headed for the stair case the teachers told us to be quiet because other people were performing. we headed upstairs to watch other groups perform. We were still in our uniform watching the other groups and it was quite cold. We watched until about 2:15 then got into the bus to get back to school. It took about 30 minutes to get back but we were allgood. We arrived to school and got changed into our uniform and packed up our stuff to go home we left like it was a normal day.
