Quick Write story


Hi today I will be writing a short story for you also known as a quick write.
We are given the sentence starter and we have to carry it on.  

The waves crashed on the... 
sand sending bits of sand flying. The sand was hot and the sun beamed down on me as I swam deeper and deeper into the ocean. I was neck deep when the earth began to shake. I heard screaming but I couldn't swim in, the current was too strong. I got sucked out so far I couldn't see the people on the beach.  After a minute, the earth stop shaking. I tried to swim in again but the current was too strong. I kept getting sucked out deeper and deeper. I was exhausted.  I looked down into the water.  All the feeling of tiredness and pain disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with fear. There they were circling below me. SHARKS!!!



I hope you liked my quick write please feel free to leave me comments and feedback on how I could improve on my writing.

How I Plan My Week



Hello, I am going to be telling you how I plan my week. 
First our teacher emails us a Google form. The form contains different choices of workshops we can chose to attend. The workshops can be reading related, math related or writing related. Each week we need to attend a strategy workshop and a knowledge workshop for maths. We know what workshops to attend because you know your goals and what you need to learn or where we are up to in our learning. If we do not know where we are up to we attend the workshop that we think we might be up to and we see if it is right for us if the workshop is to hard the next week you attend one that is a bit easier. But if we still don't know what workshop to attend we ask our teacher where we are up to but most people know where they are up to in their learning.
                                                                                                                                                 
Once we have selected the workshops we want to attend we then fill in our time table. Our time table is a Google sheet which our puts on our learning hub. The time table marks out Lunch, Morning tea , Brain break, Typingclub and Assembly. Once we have put in where our workshops go, we then go onto a Moana learning hub and put in the other learning activities that we have to do in. We have to fill in Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We do not fill in Friday because Friday is home room Friday that means that we stay in our home room for the day. on home room Friday we do art and go to our music lessons.

I love using my timetable because when I do not know what i am doing I can check my timetable and then it tells me what I am meant to be doing. It also helps our teacher because if we all fill our timetable our teacher can look at what we are meant to be doing than check in on us to see if we are doing what we put our timetable.
