Making a Fort
Eeek! On the weekend I made a fort in my room because I didn’t know what to do.
Excitedly, I decided to make a list of things that I needed to make a fort. First I needed a mattress, lots of blankets, pillows and chairs. I ran as fast as a cheetah to the cabinet to get all the sheets. I ran back to my room and chucked them on the ground and sprinted into the dining room to get three chairs.
Instantly I got started with the fort. I laid a mattress down on the ground and put chairs around it. Then I put blankets on my bed as well as pillows. Then I started to put the blankets on the chairs. The blankets stretched out their arms. I was as quiet as a mouse making the fort.
A few minutes later I had finished the fort so I decided to just chill and lay down and dream about riding Sandy on the beach. A few hours later I needed to go to bed so I got ready and slid under my warm cozy blankets and nodded of to sleep.
I had a great time making my fort and I can’t wait to do it again next time.
Today we coded robots Laylah Stella and I made a video about coding Beebot. Here is our video.

In Week Seven of Term 2, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The Day the Crayons Quit. It was about all the different crayons writing letters to Duncan and saying their feelings.
I chose to do the yellow crayon and you had to make a sun on your chromebook and turn it into an emoji. I also made a rainbow on my chromebook to show something unique about all the different coloured crayons.
Today we did Play, Make, Create. The story was called twig and he name was Heidi. She was a twig who was camoflaged everywhere and no one could see her. I did build and we had to make a house for a bug or insect we also needed to do a movie poster. Here is my bug house and movie poster.
Today I did another challenge about what we share. We had to choose what we should make private or public. Here is my work.
