How does netiquette affect our relationships ?

In my option netiquette affects our relationships by how we act for example if we say rude things to other people they get angry at you and they will get upset with you. If you be nice to someone they will be nice to you and then you can become friends.

Red Colour Poem

                             Red,

Red is the strawberries that make my tastebuds fly,

Red is the cherries that make lovely pie.

Red is the fire that burns houses down,

Red is the lava that spreads through the town.

Red is the ruby’s which Birthstone is July,

Red is the blood that makes us cry.

I love red because

it’s the colour of the delicious strawberries.

Amazing Family

WALT: To write an interesting poem about our own Family.

Amazing Family

My family is amazing and they are all unique in their own special way.

My artistic elder brother John is usually playing basketball or drawing great pictures.

My hardworking brother Jordan is always lying down tired coming home from a hard day of work.

My sporty brother Zinzan is always at the rugby fields training, or playing a game.

My exhausted Mum is always working hard cleaning the kitchen, or rushing home from work to see me before school.

My tired Dad is usually at work fixing cars, or biking up mountains and hills.

Everybody in my family are all amazing because we are kind to each other, we can rely on each other and most importantly we love each other very much.

Water, Water, Everywhere

WALT: create a poem or piece of writing about downpour of rain.

Water, Water, Everywhere

When it rains it’s cold outside and you have to wear rain coats and warm clothes. When you go outside you get wet hair and you end up soaking wet, you can smell fresh rain and you can see people holding umbrellas, raindrops falling everywhere , kids jumping in puddles and people running towards shelter. When you look down you can see disgusting worms slithering across the concrete and the muddy grass making your shoes dirty. When you look up at the sky you can see the white clouds turning dark grey, and you can hear people complaining about how cold it is and raindrops crashing hard on the roof. You can feel cold wet rain smashing against your face, the strong wind pushing you, and your wet clothes making you feel cold. When you go inside your house you can see the condensation on the windows, you can feel water on your back leaking from the roof and you can feel the hot air coming from the heat pump making you feel warm. Also you get stressed if there is going to be a storm, because of how bad the rain is. At least you get to watch t.v inside and drink hot chocolate.

Winter Poem

WALT: Write a poem about winter using strong verbs.

Winter is the Best

Winter is the time of the year, when the weather turns frosty.

I put the covers over the top of my head. Me and my family buy warm woolly jackets. Heaters are on all the time. Underneath my shoes I look and see frozen grass on the way to school. Walking in the frosty mornings with my brother. Sitting underneath the heat pump with my family creating memories. Winter is cold but it doesn't matter, because the hot chocolate is worth the matter.

This week we are learning how to keep ourselves safe online and what to share and what not. Here in this thinglink are some tips and tricks to keep you safe.

Reflection 

Marvellous Mikaela - All about me

kiora,
My name is Mikaela, I am a year 6 female student my teacher is called Miss Bergin and Miss Hamilton as my student teacher I’m in Room 8. In my free time I like to play minecraft, watch movies and draw.

My favourite food is pizza, I love the movie Moana because it has lots of songs also they are all really catchy. For 2017 my learning goal is to learn my decision off by heart, as well as know how to add fraction with a different denominator my favourite sport is netball because I get to be in a team with my friends along with trying to stop the ball from getting in the hoop. When I am bored I like to listen to my favourite singer Selena Gomez.

I am from Zimbabwe but I was born in New Zealand. I like living in New Zealand because its mostly cold along with the beautiful plants but in Zimbabwe it’s burning hot even in winter.
