Today is our last lesson with her and she would talk about things we learnt pass the few lesson with us. We did plays and I was in the first play. The play was about kids smoking and drinking while kids not walking pass them so they won't give eye contact or get involve with them.

For Literacy we had to search up a Dewey number about our favorite thing to do. I like dancing so I research up one of the popular dance crew in the world. Royal Family.

Play Based Learning

Play Based Learning

In this picture what I was doing was playing a card game named, “3 up, 3 down” or what others call it “Wipe out” or “Graveyard”. I played this game loads of times at home, school even at the school camp. After that I left the game to build and it was very hard to build until my friend Sarah-Jane asked to help. We built and built and it almost reached the roof. I had fun playing with my friends that block.

Anzac Diamond Poem

Surviv.io

After school I get home, get changed and jumped on my bed to chill out. I open my chromebook and jump on, Surviv.io. I play with teams from across the world and I remember this one time while my squad was looking for loot to help us win the game, I hid in the bush and load my gun then I start shooting. Behind them was a enemy team, I managed to kill 2 of their team mates. It's so fun playing it and to describe it in a few words, I would describe it as "Fake Fornite" 😂.

Why Do Groups Make Rules?

WALT: 
Why do groups make rules?
SC:
Paragraph one: Include the group and some of the rules
Paragraph two: Why the rules are important.
Paragraph three: What if … what would happen if there weren’t rules

The group that I will be talking about is any sports club. 

My favourite sport would be volleyball or rugby because you can hit the ball and in rugby I want to test my strength between people that has more strengths than me. The rules in volleyball include that you can only hit the ball in a flash and try not to let the ball hit the ground on your side of the court. In rugby you have to try to place the ball over the line, across their try line, while the other group try to stop you from placing the ball over the line. 

The reason why group needs rules is so that people know what to do and can understand it fairly for other players. It’s really important to have rules, rules are the main thing you need for a group, game, club and much more. 

Sometimes rules just go too far and it perhaps may be an accident. 

Cheat or Cheating. This word means act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage. For example almost placing the ball down but the ball doesn’t actually touch or go over the line. The ref asks you is that a try; if  you say yes, that is CHEATING. Without rules there is not a game or group. YOU HAVE TO HAVE RULES.  Without rules you could win EVERY TIME but it will always be unfair.

Quick Write #2

For Quick Write we had to describe a Title book we are learning for writing.
