Little House On The Prairie

Today, Thursday, we just finished reading Little house on the prairie. The story itself was pretty interesting, but the Ingalls' family (The protagonists of the story) went through quite a lot of unlucky events. Examples; their dog nearly drowned at the start of the book, their property on the prairie almost caught on fire and burnt down, they were close to being killed by the Indians and much more. 

The ending though, it wasn't the best. Although the 179 paged book FINALLY ended, it left us on a boring cliffhanger. For example I thought that it would end off with a plot twist, like Mr. Scott and or Mr. Edwards would turn on the Ingalls'. Michael thought the Indians were following them, then would shoot them. Honestly, it could've been a decent ending.

BUT, we haven't seen the TV series yet..

Seeking Help

We were learning about seeking help when things go wrong online. Today I learnt how to be an up stander against cyber bullies
I found it easy to hear and watch the videos that were displayed
I found it hard to think of four ways to "Seek help" in my own words
I really enjoyed our competition to see who would send a screenshot to the teacher first
Next time I need to focus on my work other than discussing with friends

Mike Dawson @ our school

Today Mike Dawson, a canoeist from the Rio Olympics 2016, visited our school. He came to tell us about his trip(s) around the world to compete in different kayak races, values, and other stories of his experiences.
 He went from competition, to respect, and lastly the Q n' A's. He told us about representing New Zealand in Rio De Janeiro, and how much of a competition it was. After talking about himself in the Olympics, we then proceeded to perform a haka for him. 
Finally, we took a photo on the junior's playground altogether and went back to class.

Netiquette

We were learning about Netiquette. I learnt that arguments online are known as "Flame wars".
I found it easy to copy and paste my work into this blog post.
I found it hard to keep up with the timer. (And to finish the character.)
I really enjoyed thinking of sentences to use for the DO's and DON'Ts.
Next time I need to finish off something quicker. (The actual drawing.)
