 Question:

Lord, it

would be better to be born without an

arm than to go through life with no

guts.” What do you think this means?

Why?

I think it means it would be better to have no arm but have the guts to do things, so you can make  a difference to the world. It is better than being able to have an arm but, have no guts to do things. It is better because, you can be heard. Follow your instincts.

My Self Portrait

 

My Self Portrait. 

Today Whaea Donna came into our classroom to teach us how to do a self portrait on google drawing. I learnt how to use the curve line and how to draw it. I tried my best. The little scribbles are meant to be frickels. It was really hard using curve because if you mess up you have to start it all over again. Over all it was hard and challenging. Do you like doing digital art? Good bye.

This Monday and last Monday Whaea Donna came in to teach us how to look after our chrome books. We had to make a poster about how to look after our Chromebooks. We had to show some photos of it. This is the poster my buddy and I created.

The learning was very fun. We got to list some things on how to look after our Chromebooks. Then we make a google doc for our poster.

Do you look after your Chromebook like you are meant to?

Bridge to Terabithia Chapter 2.

 Bridge to Terabithia.

Jess's first impression of Lessie Burke , he didn't know if she was a boy or a girl. When she said"There is no one around for miles we might at least be friends". Some how he knew she was a girl. Jess was not really interested so he bluntly said "I have work to do". He returned with a milk pale to milk the cow but when he came back she was not there. Jess did not really like her much. So it didn't worry him.

He never saw her till the first day of school (which was the race day). I think Jess's opinion on her will change on the running race day, because Jess did not know how fast she is. Jess might accept and be friends with Lessie Burke.
