Reflection Of A Day In November 1

What have I learned?: I learned about devices, being cyber-smart, space and early NZ settlers. What have I enjoyed?: All the special activities including making things for inquiry and doing the bridle path walk. What I will work on for next week?: Maybe getting better at writing. What was challenging?: Making models for the NZ settlers inquiry. Something I have done well: At spelling and reading I think I do well.

The War To End All Wars.

Part 1: I was digging my trench compartment in no mans land during world war 1. We were facing German forces for a new technique of war called Trench Warfare. Trench warfare was long and bloody. We were told the trench warfare here might go on for the entire war. After hours we had set up our trenches. Same as the Germans. I heard we had a few weapons to help us labelled "Water Tanks". We did not know what they looked like but they were claimed to be powerful. We opened fire at each other. In minutes both sides lost many men. The violence was horrible. Then all the sudden "Water Tanks" rolled onto the battlefield. I knew they were the "water tanks" because they were still labelled "Water Tanks". The Commander said "The Water Tanks are called tanks more commonly because they are labelled water tanks so usually officers call them tanks". The Commander shouted "USE YOUR PLANKS TO MAKE BRIDGES FOR THE VEHICLES". So we did, the "Tanks" almost broke the bridges. The sight of the "Tanks" made the Germans fear us. But after a while they were all stuck in mud but still they could fire. The commander said to charge. We did as we were told. Then what was that a flash then in a instant blackness. When i wok up i was from the looks of it being transported to a P.O.W camp. To be continued.

Drama Reflection

What we did: We got into pairs then Sharon paired up the pairs. After that we decided our jobs, since I had no job I was the leader. In my team there is Duke, Hezekiah, Jasper and me, George.

Sharon gave us the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. We decided what voices we would act out and I picked a sleepy person. We acted out voices for a nursery rhyme. Before the nursery rhyme we did a video on why we picked drama and our names.

What went well: Nothing better than ok.

What challenges did i face?: Nothing challenging.

What would I change for next time?: To make us work quicker on the videos. 2nd Time: On the 22nd day of the 11th month 2021 we did some more drama. First we did a book thingy to plan our thing. We did not get to the next step which was to film the show. The things we are going to do that we have planned is the pigs build the house then the wolf creeps up. We have not planned the last bit in the book thingy but we have thought of the end: The cauldron will melt the bricks so they fall in and water comes out putting the fire out and the wolf eats the pigs (We did 3 Little Pigs). Here is the video we did for three little pigs (im not inserting it yet):
