BFG

The big, friendly, giant. Or in otherwords, the BFG. Unlike other giants, he´s not willing to hurt children, and he´s a lot more friendly than other. He smells... a bit stinky, I would presume, and looks like a giant elf, with ears pointing high. His noes is sticks out a tiny bit, and wears the same ol´ clothes everyday, and looks a bit dirty. He´s small and tiny compared to the other giants, and he sounds funny, he has like a funny, deep, and weird British accent, and it´s kinda droopy and wacky. 

He acts much more friendlier than the other giants, like I said before, and he is a kind and a hard working, patient giant. He is willing to wait for things to get done, and I guess is shy, a bit. I would presume at times, he´s brave, and strong, and he does things different to human.

I think he looks like this:

Also, he catches dreams or whatever. 

Create Task | Reading - Term 4

Heya.

Welcome back to another blog post. Today, I'm going to be sharing with you what I did for my, "Reading Create Task" basically, we had to read this article about sitting down or something, and basically telling us to always be healthy. Here's what I did, enjoy!

As I was saying, we had to do four predictions, we did it on a google drawing with four bubbles and each one had a purpose. The first one was what we think would happen in the article by reading  the title. As in, we had to read the title, and write down what we'll think will happen in the article. So this title was called, "Don't sit if you want to keep fit" and also, once we put our prediction down, we had to put a comment highlighting and explaining if our prediction was right or true, so yeah, here's what I put:

- First Bubble, I wrote: The title gives me the idea that this book is probably gonna be facts about why you should be doing some exercise rather than sitting down.

- My comment: My prediction for the title was correct. My evidence is there right there in the first page. It clearly says: "The first major study into the effects of sitting for long periods of time was completed in the 1950s. The researchers compared London Transport bus drivers (who sat most of the time in their jobs) with the bus conductors (who stood and moved around collecting tickets from passenger).

The evidence showed that drivers were 1.5 times more likely to develop a heart disease than conductors were." It clearly says in the last bit of the paragraph that there's evidence that, "Drivers were 1.5 times more likely to develop a heart disease than conductors were."

For the second bubble, we had to do a quick flip through the book and write our second prediction, here's what I put:
- Second Bubble: I did a quick flick through the book, my guess that it’s mainly giving us a warning not to sit all day and actually do something. Exercise, etc.

- My comment: My prediction was I guess a little wrong and a little right. It's mainly focusing on the benefits of standing up, why we should, and why standing makes us more healthy and energetic. But saying all this is actually is possibly warning about us sitting down. It is saying all these things about standing up. But it's basically warning us about the issues of sitting down for a large period of time. So therefore, I believe I'm a bit right and wrong.

For my third bubble, I actually don't know what we had to do, I believe we just read the article or something, Idk. Anyways, enjoy:

- Third Bubble: It may talk about the effects when sitting down for too long. It may include evidence on why we should exercise, by showing us the benefits of exercising. Everyday.

- Comment: Basically true. Technically talked about it in my other predictions. So yeah I think it's true.

I know what your thinking, well I actually I don't, but I do. You're thinking about how I didn't put a fourth bubble, don't worry, it's coming soon. Anyways, yeah, that's about it.

Have you ever predicted something in a book and it's happened?

So yeah, as I was saying, I really hoped you enjoyed this blog post, it's great to share with you my learning and what I've been up too. So anyways, I'll be seeing you next, hope you enjoyed again, and uh.. yeah thank you!

PEACE!

Create Task | Writing - Term 4

Heya.

Welcome back to another blog post. Today, I'll be sharing with you my Create Task. Basically, for our create task, our goal was: "Use questions to challenge the text, question the author, establish the authenticity of the text and state opinions." and yeah, more info will be down below.. enjoy!

So basically, our task was we had to read through two articles to try identify the real one, and the fake. By reading through we learnt how to tell if it's fake or not. (Spoiler, the first one was fake) Here's why:

It was about, "The News that outlaws homework in all Honduran Schools" as in, they wanted to make homework shorter I think. Anyways, the reason why I know it's fake, in the texts there's spelling mistakes, pictures could be fake, you never know. Also, it's on a site that's called, "Fake News" or something.

The reason the first one was real was because:

1. Sentences, grammar, and punctuation was all correct and spelt correctly

2. The pictures looked real and was from what is was talking about.

3. Te website was actually on a real and official website. (National Geographic Kids)

4. And the information on it was real and true.

Also, the article was about, "What's it like to go to school St. Lucia"

So once we identified the real and faked text, there was a padlet on the site that we had to fill out and complete. I am going to show you what I have put for these questions.

- Which article was authentic? How did you come to work this out? Give 2 examples from both texts to back up your reasoning as to why it was fake or authentic.

I believe the second article is real, and the first one is fake. 

Evidence for first book: The second article contains pictures, and a lot more writing. The website is even on National Geographic, Kids.. It's a lot  more believable.

Evidence for the first book: The first book is on a website called, "Fake News' during one of the first sentence, the text contains these words: "Juan Orlando Hernandez, former Honduras president" but down below in the first sentence, it addresses him as president, not former president. Why not address him as the former president?

- Write two questions that you would like to ask the author if ever given the chance to do so.

If I have ever got the chance to ask the author two or more questions, I would like to ask these:

"What motivated you to write this article?"

"Why did you decide to write this article about your topic?"

- State your thoughts and opinions about both pieces of text - was there a particular part of the text that changed your opinion from the beginning?

I have realised something. In different places, school may not be the same as ours, in different places, it can be hot, or cold, whatever it is, it's something different. It's amazing too see how different other schools our to ours, it truly amazes me to see all the different activities that the other students do.

- Extra: Add your infographic showing ways in which we can be aware of fake news articles online.
There're a lot of ways you can tell if websites, or Articles are fake. When browsing through a website, check for:

- Spelling/Grammar, check for any mistakes in sentences, make sure all the punctuation and words are correct.
- Check if any of the information is reliable or true.
- Using words that don't really need to be there.
- If there's any quotes on there make sure there're actually true.
- Make sure some of the language is formal.
- Check if any pictures on there are actually related to the text.
- Make sure to check if the website you are reading on is an actual reliable source.

Anyways, that was it, really hoped you liked all the responses.

Have you ever figured out if a Article/website online is fake or true.

I hoped you all enjoyed what I did for my writing creat task. I love making really long blogs and expressing myself to you guys. So yeah. Thanks again for reading my blog, and I'll see you boys later...

PEACE!

Attitude - Term 4

Heya.

Welcome back to another blog post. Today, I'll be sharing with you my Attitude experience. Basically... well we talked about puberty. The changes we go through puberty, and such. Anyways, I hope you enjoy, and I'll be seeing you next time...

So anyways, this presentation about puberty was a week ago, a man named, 'Rory' came to explain s about it. There was also another dude there, about like 18, 16, 15. Something, you needed some research I believe as well. He wanted to know the stuff about puberty as well. Also, this presentation consisted of 2 parts. One presentation would be today, and tomorrow. So yeah. Alright, now let's begin. Rory told us the different changes of Puberty. How are body will grow, we will have pimples, start sweating like heaps, and um... other... stuff. He said the best way to avoid pimples, was to just drink and eat healthy, he told us make sure to change are pillow sheets probably every week to avoid dirt being on it and bacteria, etc.

The first thing body part that grows is you, feet and hands. Then your... um... yeah I forgot. But yeah. Anyways, sorry for the short blog, hoped you enjoyed.

Have you ever encountered an Attitude presentation?

Anyways, that was it. Rory was a funny guys, this was funny. Anyways...

PEACE! 

Where I've been... - Term 4

Heya.

So it's been sometime aye? I know, I know, I haven't been here for like the past 3 weeks or something like that. So I'm just here to tell you I'm alright. Basically I'mma be writing on what I've been doing for these past weeks. So yeah. Once again, I'm sorry, but at least I'm back. Enjoy!

So, I got caught of an infection. Basically messing up my hand real bad. These little pouches of blood on my finger, these bumps with like gooey stuff in them, stuff like that. But the reason I haven't been able to go to school is a risk of spreading it. Now, it wasn't that contagious, but the lumps could possibly pop spreading goo to one another. So yeah. I also got an ear infection, which to this day is still pretty irritating. I am taking anti-biotics though. Anyways, what I've been up to...

On Sunday I went swimming in a river, forgot what the river was called though. I mostly did nothing, besides from cleaning up all the time. We also spent $200 dollars worth of washing. Because of scabies. We also flea bombed everything, which I thought was cool. And that was about it.  

I also watched some movies. Nothing a little special, just movies off Netflix. Kids ones and stuff... I do need to do a massive catch up on work though, but hopefully that shouldn't be too bad. Anyways, that that.

PEACE!

How can I celebrate who I am? - Term 4

Heya.

Welcome back, well, hi! I had a great holiday of doing nothing. It was quite amazing. I also got a bit of news. Next year I am leaving this school, and moving to another. It's because I'm moving houses all the way to burnham, and my new school is quite close to the house we're living at. Meaning... I gotta walk. Well, the school is quite some distance away from it. So, I gotta walk a while. Anyways, enough explaining. Welcome to term 4. If you check the title, that's our new driving question. The driving question is all about, you guessed, how we gonna celebrate our race. So enjoy the blog.

So, what we're doing for this, we had to grab a piece of paper from a hat, and on those papers there were different countries. What ever country we had, we had to -
1. Find a food from the country and bring it next week (I believe) these foods can be foods that they made, or maybe what they eat there. You know, like a tradition.
and 2. You were to find a game that they play in that country. Or a drama, song, dance. Anything they do. There.

For my country, I got mexico, and I instantly knew what food I was doing. Tacos. And the game I am doing is Jump Rope. Yes, yes, I know, Jump Rope may not sound like a festival game. But after some research, I find out that jump rope is a popular one. And that's actually about it... I know it isn't much, but it's the first week back, so we haven't done the other parts yet.

How do you celebrate?

Anyways, that's about it. Sorry there isn't that much, as I said before, it is the first blog from my holiday, I'll be sure to inform you and create more blogs in the future. Thank you for listening, and...

PEACE!
