Writing Extension 21:5:19

Today ( Tuesday 21st May ) I went to writing extension. For writing extension, we went down to the Gisborne wharf. We went to the wharf to take some photos and get some inspiration for a short story we have to write. At the wharf we had fun we went on the rail bridge and we walked past the Mindlab as well as seeing the workers working in the log yard. For our short story, it can be made up but still have some realistic factors in it. We have to write it in a google doc with the font no bigger than 12. Our stories have to be at least 2 pages long and no more than five pages. I really enjoyed the writing extension today.

Famous New Zealander

Today in cyber smart we had to find facts on a famous New Zealander and put who we chose, a picture of them, three facts about them and why we chose them. I chose Murray Ball. After we did the research and everything we had to use screencastify to film a video of us saying the information. Before today I had no idea how to use screencastify and how to film but I do now.

Writing Extension

On Monday 13th May I went to writiing extision and wrote two story's. For the first story we had a picture of a monkey sitting on a tree stump holding a leaf above his head sheltering him from the rain. For the second story we had to write a story but we were not allowed to use some words. Some of the words we were not allowed to use were Then, It, When... And so on. It was a fun challenge and I really enjoyed it.

Story One

It was another significantly humid day in the rainforest. The rain was a wonderfully refreshing break from everything. Dylan could hear loud and horror filled thunder claps off in the distance, a sign that there was a huge storm on the way. Grasping a leaf way bigger than himself he used it to shelter him from the rain while sitting comfortably on the edge of a tree stump. Raindrops that pounded on the leaf sounded like impatient fingertips, but Dylan didn't care as he knew his companions were on the way to him.

Story Two

Once upon a time, there was a colossal cottage which belonged to a despicable Giant called Kreature. One day Kreature stumbled upon an abnormally tiny house compared to his and the owner of the house was a tiny magical creature called Dobby. Kreature he thought it would be funny to stomp on Dobby's house and kill dobby but dobby felt giant Kreatures footsteps and got out of the way and used powerful magic to kill Kreature. Because Kreature was a giant the spell didn't work on him and dobby got squished by Kreature
