Finding out about LS2

Juanita and I have created a DLO about the culture in LS2. This graph shows that there are more Tongan students in our class than other cultures. We asked our class mates what culture they are and made a telly chart then as you can see we put in a graph. The purpose of of making this graph was to find out more about our class mates and teachers. 

Day 5 - Summer learning journey

 

Day 5 Activity 1: Once you have read these phrases you will be ready to leave the airport and head to your hotel. Take a moment and imagine how you might feel if you were standing in an airport in a foreign country and you didn’t speak the language. Would you be scared? Would you feel confident? Write a short poem that describes how you might be feeling (i.e. excited, happy, scared, nervous, etc). Post your poem on your blog.

Feeling nervous I don't know what to do I look around and nothing looks familiar Unsure what I should do to I look around for help I'm asking people if they speak English they look away not knowing what else to do Anxious about the journey ahead of me but cant help but feeling excited I ignore the butterflies in my stomach and focus more on my trip I look to the left and see the clear blue water of the ocean I smile, happy that I didn't turn my back on this wonderful trip.

I looked around the room. Nothing seemed unusual, but then… I saw something moving in the corner of the room it was hidden under a old dusty blanket I slowly walked towards the moving object afraid of what it could be when I got close enough I took of the blanket and I lost my voice I couldn't scream I froze just looking at the object I slowly turned around and ran out of the room promising myself that i'll never go in that room again.

Day four Activity 2: Read the following reviews of these three books - Catching Fire, Matilda and Diary of a Wimpy Kid - The Ugly Truth. They are all books that are really popular in Canada. If you had to choose one of these three books for Curious Kiwi to read on the plane, which one would you choose? Post the name of the book on your blog. Underneath the title, explain why you would choose that book.

Catching fire

If I could choose a book for curious kiwi to read while on the plan I would choose

Catching fire because it sounds like a book that can hook the reader in at the beginning of the book and can keep the reader interested through out the book.

Tittle: Hobbit

The Hobbit is about Bilbo Baggins , a hobbit who is surprised when Gandalf the grey wizard turns up knocking on his hobbit door with thirteen other dwarves. Leaving his comfortable hobbit hole behind Bilbo Baggins set out on quest with the company of the thirteen dwarves and Gandalf who helps them along the way. They are leaded by Thorin Oakenshield the king under the moutain. The main purpose of the quest was to regain the lost dwarven kingdom of the lonely mountain from the dragon Smaug.
