A Brief History Of Time

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking about a book that I am reading called 'A Brief History Of Time'

It is a non-fiction book that is jam-packed with lot's of interesting facts about space, physics, and lot's of theroies.

Specifically today, I will be talking about what I like about the book and some of the things that they explain in it.

Stephen Hawking, the author of the book, was one of the greatest scientists (in my opinion), he made lot's of new theories as well as some amazing work, like this book.

Do you like science? Or space?

What does ASD mean?

Hey Bloggers!

I'm back with a new post today.

This post today is all about a shared story book we are currently reading called 'Anything But Typical' It is by Nora Raleigh Baskin.

This is a story about a twelve year old boy called Jason Blake, he has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). In this story he barely uses any speech and we hear most things through his thoughts and feelings about the people or things around him.

I found it interesting to read and listen, since it's something we are not used to.

Today I and going to be showing some of the work I have been working on for this.

Have you heard of the book before?

Maybe even read it?

And is there anything I can improve on for my work?

What SRL actually means is 'Self Regulated Learning'

I am going to teach what it means, and what I have been doing for 'SRL'

Peer inside, see the outside, the inside is the outside

Hi Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be talking to you about The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.

I will be talking about what Bruno and Gretel saw through the window and my response to that in the chapters 3 & 4.

This was an important part of the story because it was different and unexpected, also since they just moved, they wouldn't have any knowledge about it. This is what sparks of something interesting in Bruno's life.

I decided to create a picture, but not on google drawings, but on canva.

Enjoy!

The Boy in Striped Pajamas

It's 5 ft wide and 5ft deep, what is it? And where is it from? ;)

Hey Bloggers!

Welcome back to my blog!

It's 5 ft wide and 5 ft deep, it's a hole!

And, it's from the book Holes!

Today I will be showing you a post about the book which I have answered a few questions about it.

Holes is a book about a boy called Stanley Yelnats, who goes to a Camp Green Lake because of stealing something. In the story they author has made it a bit of a switch in between what's happening right now (from Stanley's view) and the past. The author seems to approach the problem very slowly and with just enough information to understand what's going on, but not enough to give you a full understanding, this makes me wonder what is going to happen next? And why it's happening?

Please give me some feedback about my answers and see whether I have given enough information for you to understand what's happening in the story, or to understand the question.

School journal are for people who are in school!

Hey Bloggers!

Today I will be talking about my school journal.

As part of our reading work we have to answer some questions or do some activities about the story.

Today I have done the story 'Close To The Edge' a story written by a very young person.

I would like you to give me some feedback on my work and what I could do to make it better.

I am always looking for more cool sites so comment down any ideas!

Persuasion Writing

Hello bloggers!

This week is book week so we have been getting a new book every single day.

Today we got the book Goldfish boy and we had to do a persuasive speech/writing about do you agree that parents need to get fined if they take their kids of school for a day?

I disagreed and this is why

Do you agree or disagree?

Could you feedback on my writing and how I could improve it?

This is my Persuasion speech

Enjoy!

Hi I am Mia and I think that parents shouldn’t get fined for taking their kids off school. I have three points to argue with. One, that they shouldn’t get fined that much money for it. Two, Why kids should be able take days off school. Three, about the education it could provide.

Parents shouldn’t need to get fined that amount of money. £60, $120 in NZ money is a huge amount of money! It’s only a day and why does it need to be so much money? It could be even worse like court or even larger amounts of money. According to BBC on average there is 12 penalties per 1,000 children.

Some kids in school have technical difficulties whether it is being bullied or feeling like they are behind everyone else, and sometimes taking a break can help with the stress and pain to calm the child down. Even after consulting a teacher or principle the child may have to suffer going through the steps. Having less stress can help with the child's education when they are calm and happy. Some kids at school and develop to have anxiety or depression when in an older age and can suffer from it. That’s why I think that having a break affects children's education.

Even taking one or two days off school can make a big difference, and when they come back from their trip or holiday they might’ve changed hugely in their education, they may be more calm about school and they may be more fresh and better focus could be developed.

Education. Different kids have different ways of seeing learning and other things. So taking a break of school can make a big difference in their learning. Education is everywhere, whether it is outside of school or other countries. For example taking a trip to another country a kid could learn all about it, it’s culture, traditions and much more things than learning at school. Taking a trip could put a child out of it’s comfort zone and face challenges that you could never do in school. Being outside of their comfort zone can release the child's passions and strengths, and to teachers, that kind of information can help with what they could work on next.

Some teachers say that going to Florida is much more educational then being at school for a sports lesson. They also say that less children in a classroom get more one on one conferences with the students, but that’s another story. Although they say that it doesn’t do any harm so it should be allowed. One teacher said that a child went on a trip for a little while for a ski trip and he finished all his work while he was there. When he returned he was happy and the teacher was happy too.

In conclusion I think that they should be allowed to take their kids of school without any fines. It’s a big learning pit for your children and they get the opportunities that you didn’t. So they should be allowed.

Thank you

The Scarlet ibis

Hello Bloggers!

The world's worst excuses...

This term we finished this amazing book called, there's a boy in the girls bathroom. This book is about a boy called Bradley that doesn't behave very good, so he is told to go to the counselor, Carla (the counselor) helps him to improve and asks him a lot of questions. How will Bradley turn out?

For our reading activity this term we had to complete a couple activities about the book. My favorite activity was the world's worst excuses. Please give me a nice positive comment! Here are two of my favorites.

Why did Bradley not do his homework?

Because my sister got mad at me because I went and smashed her homework books,
and so for payback she ripped up my book to write all the answers in.
Even if I wanted to write my homework on a piece of paper, the cat team
(that’s what they called themselves) went to the printer room and ripped up all the
paper, you could think that I would go to the shop and buy some more paper,
but it was 12 o'clock at night and the shops were not open.
You’re probably thinking that why was I awake at that time, it is because the cats,
the cat team, we're still mowling inside the house.
You would think that my Parents would wake up but actually I put earplugs in their ears.
Now you are wondering why that I did that, that is because I snore very loud.

Why did Bradley not go to the conference?

Because my mum had to go to a very important meeting with her work people.
Nope don’t change the time because my mum is at that meeting from 6 o’clock until
midnight. “What about your..”  Nope my dad is at work to he has to go to the mechanics
and is helping to fix a very important new car.
Who’s looking after me? Of course my sister, she is the best (worst) person to look
after me. Then why can’t my sister come?
Oh no my parents would hate her to drive a car, even though she’s 18 she’s crashed
the car already 10 times and my mum and dad don’t want her to do it again.
Why can’t we bike or by bus? Because we keep all our money in our safe and only
my parents know how to get into the safe.
Well bikes I am very bad at, I am even worse than my sister driving a car!
I could teach you? Now way!  Even my parents couldn’t teach me because,
they would get very frustrated and I’m sure you would do to. Luckily enough…
whoops I am late better get going! Bye!
