Minecraft Education Edition Animal Habitats

Today we were learning about where animals live in the wild. We got to make Habitats for animals in minecraft education edition. I chose to eight animals and humans. I made sure I took a photo of everything I did. I used a minecraft portfolio to store the photos. I enjoyed building them because the animals I had lived in very cool places that the animals lived. I found it tricky to put in what the animals ate because some of them would eat them straight away like Wolves and Foxes they ate the bunnies as soon as I put them in the cage. So I put in bunny spawners. The spawners worked like a charm! The Portfolio won't let me put it in my blog so I will put a slide. Here it is:

Hiding in Plain Sight

Today we did a taskmaster task. It was called Hiding in Plain Sight. I was thinking of what to hide as and I saw the ball pit we own. I thought I should hide in it and emerge right out of it. It worked out perfectly. In the background was the TV playing Breaking News about Covid 19 so that is what you could hear. I enjoyed hiding because I could not see anything and it was really exciting. I found it tricky to fit because it was a small box. So I curled up into a ball and I fit a bit better. Here is a video:

Matt Stanton

This week for writing we have been learning how to make links between our paragraphs. We wrote about our favourite author. I chose Matt Stanton. Matt Stanton wrote the Funny kid series. Not much is known about him so I put what I could find. I enjoyed learning about him because there were lots of cool facts. I found it tricky to find his adulthood because my search results just came up with clothes. So I searched up life and it showed up more information. 

Here is my Writing:

Mary's Assumption

Today we were learning about Mary's assumption into Heaven. It was where Jesus took Marys Body AND soul into heaven. We had to listen to the story and then we had to find some words about it and use word cloud to put the words on. I did a gradient of blue and green for the background so the words stand out a bit better. I enjoyed that it was simple and not very complicated because it did not take as long as I expected it to. Here it is:

Robots

There are big forest fires in California so this Felix will be needed there! I enjoyed reading because it was new learning for me. I found it tricky to make my Robot because I didn't know what to make it out of. I made it out of duplo. Here are my slides:
