In room 9 and 10 we read a book called Hatchet. The book was good, had some ups and downs. In the end I think it was around a 4 stars out of 5. Once we finished reading the story we watched the movie. The movie was so much more different than the book and honestly not much better. It got boring and wasn’t interesting at all. It was a 3 out of 5.
Have you read the book? What did you think of it if you have read it?
Have you watched the movie? What do you think about it if you have watched it?
Today, on the last day of the term we got 2 Duffy books. I chose the book ‘Beyond the Isle of the Lost’ by Melissa De La Cruz and ‘Dawn and the impossible three’ by Ann M. Martin. We got to have 15 minutes of silent reading to try read our books.
Have you read either of these?
For the past week room 9 and 10 have been working on painting a fish to put up near Couplands. We painted some fish with our choice of design then we gave them back to our teacher and she gave them to the person who asked up to paint them. She put them on the wall and is having a grand opening on Sunday and Monday.
Her is the fish I painted:
What do you think of it?
Would you go to the opening?
At NBC we are starting the winter learning journey. Our class started it a week early. We got to choose one activity and we were also allowed to work in pairs so I decided to work with my friend, Violet. We chose the activity in minecraft were we made a winter house.
Is your school doing the winter learning journey?
If you’re school isn’t, which one would you pick?
Today in class we wrote a story then we got to put it in Chat GPT. I told Chat GPT to make it more Karen like and it turned out amazing.
Here is my original:
| I woke up at 9 am feeling mad at my neighbour because their dog was barking at 96 DECIBELS AT 9AM!! Anyway, I went on a walk towards the forest. I yelled at a few people who were walking on the same footpath as me who got in my way. While I was walking on the footpath there was a beautiful flower. I picked it and took it back to my house. My kids Karenly and Karenvive were at home practising their piano in the living room while I took the flower to my diamond vase with gold accents. I put the flower in the vase and left it there so I could go get some dog food for my dog. The cashier charged me more than I was supposed to so I yelled at her for her manager. I went home and saw the most horrifying sight. 2 BUGS IN MY VERY PERFECT HOME!! I screamed before running and hiding. |
And here is my Chat GPT one:
A Day in the Life of a Woman Who Knows Her Worth (And Isn’t Afraid to Yell About It)
Woke up at 9 A.M., already mad because Waffles—the neighbor’s barky rat-dog—was auditioning for a horror movie at 96 decibels. Excuse me? I paid $1.3 million for peace, not canine chaos. Called the HOA so loud I’m pretty sure they heard me from the clubhouse. Posted in the neighborhood group: #WafflesMustGo. Boom.
Tried to zen out on the “forest trail” — aka bug Central. Seriously, I got eaten alive like it was a free buffet. Then some peasants blocked my path, so I said, “Honey, are you lost or just rude?” They laughed. I would’ve called security, but I left my VIP Karen Hotline Card in my other designer purse. Priorities.
We also got to make ai photo. (The dog in the background is Waffles by the way)
Have you wrote a story like this?
Whats your favourite part about each story?
This week at NBC our virtue is risk taking. We got to make a poster to show some ideas of respectful risk taking and what it looks like.
What do you think is responsible risks are?
What risks have you taken?
Today at NBC we all dressed up in pink for anti bullying day. We also got to make a poster or flag or shirt to help spread that message. I made a poster with 5 quotes on it about kindness and anti bullying. (If you cant read them I’ll put the quotes at the bottom)
(1: Kindness is a choice that costs nothing but means everything-choose it. Don’t let anyone be made small so you can feel big.
2: Bullying doesn’t make you stronger. It proves your afraid of someones light. Be kind, let everyone shine with you.
3: Everyone has hidden battles. Kindness heals, bullying breaks. Choose to lift not to break.
4: Kindness is strength, bullying is weakness.
5: Be kind. You don’t know how far people will take it.)
Did your school dress up for anti bullying?
For the past year my class has been learning about legacy’s and how they effect us. We have also recently been learning about Pope Francis and the impact he had on the world. We had to make a fact file about the Pope Francis.

For the whole of last term and the start of this term all the year 8s have been working on algebra in our class. We have learned about patterns, finding x,y,z ect and much more. We had to create a poster or a video and I chose a poster about how to find x,y,z ect.
For the past week Room 10 and Room 9 have been working around mythical creatures. We first did some explaining writing about the Loch Ness monster then we got to create our own monster. My mythical creature is called a Water Otter.
