My book on google slides is almost finished!!

 Today I wanted to show you my progress on my E-book.      It has been going so well.

Two posts ago I showed you the start of my E-book. 

This is what I have been doing since the last E-book post. 

How do you rate my E-book? 

Could you make one yourself?

My typewriter!

 This is my typewriter. It is my Great Grandfathers Typewriter.

He gave it to me. It is quite old. My Grandfathers nickname is 

Chop Chop. I call him Chop Chop. I write a lot on it.

Chop chop used to write newspaper articles and wood chopping posters on his Typewriter. Chop Chop got his nickname because he was a famous Woodchopper. Shout out to Chop Chop!! Have you ever seen a typewriter in person? 

Making a book on Google slides.

 This week for writing we are making an ebook.  We are learning about "Show don't tell."  Show don't tell is about describing things so well that it paints a picture in the reader's head.  Examples are, Don't just say Patricia was angry, instead say,  "There was steam hissing out of her nose, horns started to immerge out of her head and she was wailing around like a little girl."

This week I also learned how to use google slides to make an eBook.

We did this by turning the slide into portrait mode.

Our eBooks will be a story that we have created ourselves. 

My story is called Kaboom and it is a plane story. 

These are my first two slides of my story.                                                                  

This is my story so far.....

I hope you will enjoy it when you see it.

Our fun reading task

 Today in reading we made Paper-copters which is based on this story.

Bart and Orville by Hilton Ayrey 

Orville was Bart's much-loved cat. From the very first day,

when Bart found him curled up in a basket beside his bed,

Orville made it very obvious that he was different from

other normal, everyday cats. When  Bart arrived home from

school, Orville would be lying in wait, in the tree overhanging the

driveway. He would pounce on Bart and they would tumble to the

ground in a wild play fight. When Bart collapsed into his favourite

bean bag to watch TV after a hard day at school, Orville always sat

on his head, purring loudly. They both seemed happy about that. 

Orville was also a very curious cat. Many, many times he had to be 

rescued from the strangest places. He was fearless and never thought 

for a moment about the consequences of his actions. There was the 

time Bart's mum went on a shopping trip to the supermarket. She got 

out of the car and found Orville clinging to the car roof with a wild 

look in his eyes. His fur was swished back against his body from the 

ride. Then there was the time he took a nap in the tumble dryer. 

Someone loaded it up and turned it on without noticing him.

He  seemed to be delighted by that. 

Unfortunately, Orville’s colourful life came to a sudden end one day 

when he was run over by a car. Bart decided to do something special 

to celebrate Orville’s adventures. After a few days of mourning, Bart 

began work on his project.

Many may think that there is something  seriously wrong about stuffing

a beloved cat and turning it into a

  remote controlled helicopter. But Bart was sure that Orville would 

have approved. 

This wasn't such a difficult project once he got started. Bart took his 

dead cat to the taxidermist and explained that he wanted Orville to be 

stuffed with his legs spread wide apart. Then he fixed Orville to a 

frame for stability and attached upwards-facing propellers on each of 

Orville's outstretched paws. After a number of trials the day came 

when Orville lifted off. With Bart manning the controls, Orville hovered 

above the ground and then rose into the sky. The legend of Orville

the cat would live on.

This is the photo of me and my friends dropping the helipapers. I liked doing it because it was really fun to make and they spun well.

Thanks for reading.

My School holiday

 

This is about my school holiday.

(Rhys)

On Friday night 8:30 at our house on the first night of the holidays I went to sleep in our bean bag in my bedroom. I don't know why I did it. I put two pillows down in front of me so my feet could go on top of the pillows for me to sleep. The pillows were a mattress. I got my snuggly blankies and in awhile I went to sleep. Mum and Dad did not know that I was sleeping in the bean bag. 

(Dad)

It was about 11 at night and I went in to check if Rhys was asleep…..

So I told him to get up and he got up. Welllll kind of. He was sleep walking.He slumped into bed and went to sleep. 

     

(Rhys)

I woke up the next morning and I wondered how I got into my bed last night. Then Dad told me.

It was Saturday. We didn't do much on Saturday. I'm pretty sure we just stayed home and watched some YouTube videos. I did some other stuff but it was raining on Saturday so I didn't do much. 

  

So on Sunday I went to the Hoki pool and I played with my little brother Luke and my Dad. Dad gave me some lessons.This was about at the end of the day most of the day we didn't do much kinda like Saturday.

Monday My grandparents looked after me for the day because my mum was at work.Tuesday my BFF stayed at the house but that's really all we did. Wednesday my BFF came to my house for a sleep over.....

This is the story so far.
