Stuck in a Digi World



A long long time ago in a digi world there was a guy. His name was Steve. He was building his house when some zombies, creepers and slime started chasing him. SMACK! He hits one on the head. The sun starts coming up and the zombies, creepers and slime start to run away.
“Rhys, Seth, Josh, Stefan, get your swords and come help fight the  zombies, creepers and slime. They are chasing me. Help me. Fight them off!” said Steve. SMACK! BANG! CRASH! All of the zombies and other things die and catch on fire. “Now I can finish our house,” said Steve.

Rhys, Seth, Josh, Stefan run off to find some gold and diamonds to make some pickaxes and axes for getting iron and cobble stone to build their sheds for weapons. “Look over here! It’s gold! We're rich, we're rich!” exclaimed Stefan.

Oh,  my name’s Steve. Sorry not to introduce myself earlier on. I have some dumb mates called Rhys, Seth, Josh and Stefan. They are my slaves for the rest of their lives.  This is how it all started. Well, one day I started a challenge. Then they came along and challenged me and lost. Then they became my slaves. That day on I punished them and said go get me some gold and make me rich.  That was how it all started.








This is my Stuck in a Digi world writing. It is based on Minecraft. Minecraft is a game on the Xbox and computer. It is a game where you can build houses and other things like pools and big book or TV characters if you wanted.

Letter to V.M Jones

Dear V.M Jones,

Hi my name is Rhys, I thought your book was amazing. It is the best books I’ve read. One of my favorite subjects at school is writing as well as art.

Room 20 have just finished your book and we were reading the notes and your authors note. In your note it said you have been to many schools in New Zealand and we hope you can come to our school some time.
Your book was AWESOME!! I like the part when Josh went back to get his brother in the triathlon in the chapter, The end of the race.  I really enjoyed the part where we got to meet Buddy.


My favourite character was Josh because he was determined to keep on going in the 
triathlon 

Hopefully you can write more books for us to read.

Thanks Rhys

This is my letter to V.M Jones it is to the author of buddy. Buddy is the book room 20 has been reading for the last few weeks and we have just finished reading it.

Maths

This is my favourite maths: learning fractions with my group.

I am proud of learning my five times and most of my five division facts.

I have learnt new strategies that I didn’t know of.

  • New fractions that I couldn’t read before.


Something I find challenging is halving big numbers.

My next step is to get up to Stage six rocket and get in to the marios
Art
This is my favourite art (http://priderhys.blogspot.co.nz) Because it is made from one shape and I didn’t know how to do art like that.

Topic
Something I have liked in our topic learning is learning about rubbish and the pacific trash vortex

P.E. / Fitness
What I like about this is playing and learning new games and skills (link)
I like playing these games:
  • corner ball
  • netball
I learn and develop the skills of Dodging and by playing these games.
Fitness helps me learn more skills
Something I liked about my interview was that I got to read my reflection to my mum.

My fraction reflection

Reflection for Fractions·
Something I was pleased with was learning new fractions and getting to say them properly
because some of the fractions I knew I couldn’t say properly

· I really enjoyed learning fractions on our washing line
   because it was all new to me

· Something I found hard was saying 1/6 and 1/10

 
Something I want to get better at is other fractions I can’t say
          (What can I do about it?practice saying them at home )


This is my reflection for maths
