Exploration Lite

So, Minecraft is a favourite to everyone. Minecraft gets everyone hooked.

The simple game that is the same as Minecarft but has different features is Exploration Lite. 

You can build many things and you even get water and lava blocks. You place that block somewhere and then you hit a button on the right.

There are many ponds, rivers and lakes in the game and also, huge pieces of Earth where you can climb. 

Now, real Minecraft is better but for me, I like starting easy so I play Exploration Lite but, if I want to fight zombies and that, I would play real Minecraft.

In Exploration Lite, there are three settings. Earth, Flat and Flying Blocks.

In Earth, you can explore the whole area and there are lakes and ponds. And with the ponds, you can build a pool!

With Flat, you can build your own world. House and many many more that you imagine.

And lastly, Fly Blocks. It's a bit cray-cray there. There are blocks all around you no if you fall off the edge, you come to the same place over and over again. All of the blocks are floating and you can even jump on them!!

So, remember, if you want to play Minecraft but you don't want to spend $9 on real Minecraft yet, get Exploration Lite. It's for free. (Ps, yes, real Minecraft is for $9)

Thank you for reading my Minecraft blog post this week!

Here is one of my Exploration Lite creations that I made:

My 3 Book Review

Hi everyone! Today I'll be doing a book review on the series of Choose Your Own Ever After. 

This series gets you to decide for one of the characters in the book.

Now, by the title of Choose Your Own Ever After, they mean that. You get to answer the question. For example, Would you let Frankie get her ears pierced? Yes or No? You choose. Just turn to the page that they said and read.

So, the book has more than one story in it.

My favourite book from the series is A Hot & Cold Summer.

Thank you for reading my Book Review this week! :)

My 2 Book Review

Hi everyone, today I will be doing a Book Review of the book called DorkDairies TV Star.

This is going to be my second book review.

It all starts when Nikki Maxwell gets a offer to be a TV star but it isn't going to be easy.

The camera crew keeps following her around home, school and going into her private space.

Nikki Maxwell also gets to go skiing. She has a lot of fun until. . . Someone pushs her down the cliff. She falls and falls until she starts doing really weird gymnastics moves.

At the end she wins the award and one of her meanest friends gets really angry.

Now, do I suggeste you reading it? Well, yes. It is a #oresome book to read.

Thank you for coming in and reading my blog post for Week 9.

Speech for Jahnavi

Speech for Jahnavi

So, on the 7th of September 2015, a lucky student from our school went to Papatoetoe North School.

It took about 15 mins to get there and also 15 mins to come back to school.

Jahnavi was so scared. I saw her legs wobble because she was that scared.

She had to go head to head with 11 other schools and many teachers and parents looking at her.

Mr McNeil, Anjli, Taanvi and I were sitting on the chairs waiting for Jahnavi to have her turn.

At the end of everything, we got to know all of the people that came in places.

The first place went to a speech about Teaching your parents how to use a Smart Phone.

The second place went to a speech about laughter and the third speech went to a speech about robots.

I'm really proud of Jahnavi for at least coming to the speech finals!!

Well Done!!!

Jasmine, Neha & Jahnavi - Author's Purpose Learning Story

Learners: Jahnavi, Neha & Jasmine    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 3.9.15

Learning Area: Literacy - Author’s Purpose

Learning Observed

Jahnavi, Neha and Jasmine attended a literacy workshop which was aimed at one of the Learning Progressions that each learner has on their Learning Pathway. We were looking specifically at how an author might use features on the cover and spine, in the blurb and in the text. The learners had to work together to analyse a text and identify why the author included these features and what they told the viewer about the text. Jahnavi, Neha and Jasmine worked as a group on a variety of novels, connecting how the author may have used features that were the same or different on each text. They showed an increased capability in this when talking together about how the cover image, title, blurb and first page gave an idea of the theme and the author’s purpose. As they collaborated, each of the girls were able to extend their own knowledge by building on it with the ideas of the other group members.

Next Learning Steps

Finish a Best Fit Novel and analyse the Author’s Purpose after reading the entire book. Record this analysis either in writing, video or audio. Upload this as evidence in their Literacy Learning Pathways.
