Come Down Golden Google Drawing

This week we have been reading a book named Come Down Golden. It is about a boy named Louis who is in a wheelchair. He finds a monkey and wants to keep it. It is part of a group of books called Nitty Gritty Novels. It is by a author called Diana Noonan. We had to make a google drawing of one of the problems. I did it when Louis finds a dog and does not know what to do.

I enjoyed reading the book because I have read a book called Rat Island by Stu Duval, which was also a Nitty Gritty Novel, and really liked it. Come down Golden is a great book and I recommend it. Same with Rat Island.

I found it tricky making the drawing because at first I did not know what problem to do. So I looked through the book and this was the first problem.

Next time I would add a image of a real dog instead of cartoon as well as the grass and clouds. I would also change the person to a real one as well.

St Francis

Today for R.E we were learning how to find facts and information. We wrote about our house saints. My house saint is St Francis. Whose is yours? If you do not have one, who is your favourite saint?

I learnt that  "Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible."  means start at the beginning and make your way to the top and don't stop until you have reached for the stars.

My favourite part was learning about my saint because I did not know much about him. The only thing I knew was that he loved nature and the environment. Now I know when his feast day is and it is October the 4th.

I found it tricky to make St Francis out of shapes because I did not know what he looked like. So I went to this site called Ducksters and it showed lots of information and images so I used that site.

Next time I would add more information because there is not much information on my google drawing. I would also change the background because it is kind of plain. I would change it to environment.

That Was Summer!

Today for the summer learning journey I had to make a poem about summer. Did you know not all poems rhyme? I learnt that there is more than just two types of nouns. I enjoyed making the poem because it was nice and easy and did not take that long. I found it tricky to find an image on tolaga bay because there was not many and most did not show the beach. So I looked a little longer and found a really good one. Next time I would change it so it had more writing on it rather than mostly picture.

Here is my poem:

Sorry I did not post this! Here are the slides!

Is Summer the same in every country?

Today for my summer learning journey I had to figure out if summer was the same in every country. Did you know, that in Japan they have to do work like the summer learning journey? I learnt that in India, one unique area is the Kashmir Valley in the north, where summer break is only ten days! I enjoyed writing the New Zealand summer google drawing because I had to just search up only some facts and then write some things I like doing. It was difficult to use Jamboard because I have never used it before. So I just looked around and then figured it out. If I had to do it again I would make the image different.
