The Miracle Pug

In Room 6 we have been writing news paper reports about Pig the Pug, which is a book we read. What I found challenging was using first person language. What I enjoyed was writing

my own take on the Pig the Pug book. Next time I will make my writing more exciting. When I wrote this news paper article on Pig the Pug I took the perspective on what happened during the accident.

The Miracle Pug On Tuesday, March 26th, 2019 Pig the Pug fell off the 10th story of an apartment building in NYC. It’s a miracle he survived. Pig the Pug was just playing with his so-called friend Trevor's the sausage dog toys and he made a pile and he stood on top of it, the pile was unsteady and somehow the window was left open and Pig the Pug fell out of it. Trevor happens to be there when Pig fell out of the window while they were fighting. Did Pig the Pug fall or was he pushed? Trevor But not all the facts meet the eye. Allegedly at the scene of the tragic accident Pig, the Pug quotes “I was fighting with Trevor my ex-friend before I fell”. Trevor witnessed Pig the Pug so-called falling out of the window. Trevor says that “Pug was being nasty and he stole all my toys and made a pile and fell off it because he was too heavy”.

So we think that Pig the Pug was pushed out of the window by Trevor because of his behavior. When Pig the Pug was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance he said “Trevor pushed me out the window in a cruel nasty way” in a shriveled up voice. But Trevor said that “ Pig is a selfish Pug and it was just karma that he fell out of the window, I had nothing to do with it”.Also, Trevor was banned from visiting Pig the Pug at the hospital because he was angry screaming “I’m innocent I tell ya, I’m innocent” It is miracle Pig the Pug survived that impossible fall, for now, he is known as the miracle pug.

While in hospital Pig said that “ Trevor is a liar and that he deserves everything he gets”. Trevor and Pig the Pug had a toxic friendship for years now, could this have been Trevor's revenge? But the main question is will Trevor plead guilty or will he be innocent?. We will just have to wait, hope Trevor has a good lawyer.

Once Bitten

WALT - Identify complex themes and ideas in texts.

These are my activities for the week I have completed. My task was to complete three follow up activities from the text I read. I worked really hard on these but the thing I found most challenging was managing my time. Next time I will finish it on time and earlier.

In my group we read a story about how a boy learnt a life lesson. In the book a boy went to a cafe to spend his paper run money then he sees a biggie, he starts to feel uncomfortable. Then he gets his food and doesn't look where he is going and ends up sitting next to him. Then he puts his food on the table and thinks that the biggie is eating his food, he then gets angry and moody and starts to eat his food. The biggie carries on eating and the boy gets more and more aggressive. Next the boy leaves to the bus stop and finds his food in his pocket. He feels a bit embarrassed and then thinks about what just happened. So the lesson was don't judge a book by its cover.

Save Sherpas

In my reading group we read a story about Sir Edmund Hillary who was the first person to climb Mt Everest. The book was telling a story about all the hospitals and schools he build for the Sherpa's, he built over 37 shelters for Sherpa's. I had to design a poster for more volunteer to help build shelters, schools and hospitals for Sherpa's.

Where is the Love?

In Room 6 we have been researching about South Sudan and the conflict that is happening there. Also we have been learning about how Caritas has been helping them and how we can help. I made a graffiti art showing the conflict that is happening in South Sudan I think that my art brings a good message. The message I wanted to get through was stop the war and have peace because where is the love in South Sudan there is only war.  

Holy Spirit flow chart

WALT - Recognize that Te Atua acts as one in the world creating, redeeming and sanctifying.

In Room 6 I have learnt about God is a mystery. I made a flow chart representing the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit in action today. It shows how the three persons relate to the same thing which I choose the ocean which is part of creation which God made. 

Thrashing Thunder

Writing to describe 

WALT : Use a range of figurative language to describe a moment in time. 

Thrashing Thunder

It was very dark but the lightning kept the sky bright. The lightning in the sky was as bright as the sun. The lightning and thunder struck in the sky and it looked like an electrical hazard. Lightning  was dancing in the sky.  The thrilling twisted thunder thrashed in the sky.

In the sky the lightning and thunder was as loud as a Lions roar. The air smelt like damp rain, as well as cold air. The air was freezing, while the thunder and lightning struck. The lightning struck a million times.  The clouds in the sky were forming as one, as the lightning kept on appearing. 

The lightning was crashing and bucketing down in the midnight sky. The thunders thrashing threaded through the sky. The damp air felt like a cold winter's day on your face. The lightning was as fresh as a daisy when it came from the sky.

 As a result of all the thunder crashing down from the dark night sky it stopped like a flash. The thunder and lightning was going on forever, then it was over in less than a second. 

Student Agreement

This is my DLO of the contract we signed the Student Agreement.

Interesting Internet Research

WALT - Use appropriate skills and technologies to find and use a range of texts for specific purposes.

When I made this DLO I enjoyed adding in my own pictures and making a quiz.

What I found challenging was trying to finish my DLO on time.

I think that my next steps are to finish my work on time and at a higher standard.

Next time I will add more questions to my quiz, also make my work more exciting.
