This week for writing, my class was learning about narratives. Narratives is like fiction and things that are maked up and not real.
We needed to watch a film called " Dragon Slayer ". Then we had to write about the Dragon Slayer in our writing books.
I enjoyed writing about Dragon slayer and watching the film.
I found it tricky to develop the problem in my writing.

This week our class for writing, we were presenting our speeches. We needed to do our brainstorm first. Once we finished brainstorming, we started writing our speeches. My speech topic was Why you should play a Musical instrument.
I enjoyed writing my speech topic and presenting my speech in front of the class.
I found it hard saying my speech. It took a lot of courage to get up in front of the whole class.
Here is a Screencastify of me saying my speech!
This week for writing we were learning how to structure a persuasive writing. My persuasive text topic was about why mr wolf is or is not guilty for 1st degree murder. I chose that he is guilty for 1st degree murder. I used the help of my brainstorm to list my 4 reasons why mr wolf is guilty.
I enjoyed listing my 4 reasons why mr wolf is guilty. I also enjoyed trying persuading my readers why he is guilty.
I found it difficult picking a topic because I wasn't sure which topic I should do. But I chose that he is guilty. My digital learning object shows that I can post my writing onto my blog.
Here is my writing!
Is Mr Wolf Guilty For 1st Degree Murder?
I firmly believe that Mr Wolf is Guilty of 1st degree murder. In this piece of writing I will explain 4 arguments on why Mr Wolf is guilty.
Firstly, I think it’s obvious that he is guilty because he broke and entered Grandma's house without her consent. I think he should be in prison for doing that.
Secondly, he held grandma against her will and locked up Grandma in a cupboard.
Thirdly, he impersonated Grandma by dressing up as her, so red could be tricked into believing Mr Wolf is the Grandma.
Lastly, attempted murder. The wolf tried to kill Red Riding Hood and her Grandma. But in the end the Woodchopper saved Red and Grandma.
Conclusion: I firmly believe that Mr Wolf is guilty
For the past two days, we were learning about persuasive text. Because the speeches are coming up, we are writing our speeches on if Mr Wolf is guilty of first-degree murder or not. Our teacher made us a brainstorm for our persuasive text, and listed four reasons why Mr Wolf is guilty or not.
I enjoyed planning and figuring out four reasons why Mr Wolf is guilty or not. I also enjoyed listening to the Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf story.
I found it a bit tricky finding some reasons why Mr Wolf is not guilty. I think that he is mostly guilty. My digital learning object shows that I can embed my slide and post it onto my blog.
Here is my brainstorm.
Today we were learning to apply knowledge. We were also learning how to write a persuasive text and our topic was cats or dogs. We watch one video about cats and another one about dogs. After that we made a plan about cats and dogs. Then we started writing by using the help of our plan we made earlier. I chose the cat side.
I enjoyed writing a persuasive text because I haven't wrote one for a while! I enjoyed expanding my knowledge of cats and persuading people to agree with me.
I found it difficult to write a persuasive text because sometimes I find it hard to convince people to make them believe what you think is right.
Here is my plan and my persuasive writing!
Today for writing I was learning to structure. Our teacher made us some slides that we can choose from to express our feelings or thoughts about lockdown. I chose the life in your bubble. So basically you're just telling what you did in lockdown in Alphabetical orders.
I enjoyed filling each one of the Alphabetical order box. But It took me quite a bit of time to fill the all in. I found it quite challenging writing in a Alphabetical order because sometimes I can't find a word that starts with the exact same letter.
Please look at my work bellow!
Today for writing I was learning to structure. I was also learning about composting. First I needed to watch a video and read 2 books about composting. After that we made a copy on a Google doc and we made a plan about composting. Then we started writing about composting by using our plans.

Composting
Do you want to save the planet? Well composting is an environmentally friendly way to do it.
What is it?
Compost is good for using it in your garden because it improves soil structures. You also put yard waste, worms, kitchen scraps, bugs and water into your compost bin.
How is it made?
Compost is made from leaves, dead flowers, grass clippings and more. There are two different composts, green and brown. Greens include fresh grass clippings, picked weeds and kitchen scraps. Browns include dried grass, fall leaves, and flowers. You can stack the browns and greens in layers then put bugs, fungi and water on top.
The benefits of composting
Using compost in your garden can improve the soil and increase the amount of oxygen to plants. Composting is also good for the environment.
Wow facts
Did you know that Compost has been around for 12,000 years?!
