Thank you letter

Dear Ms Erick

Thank you for all the help you have done for us. We appreciate what fun and care you’ve provided us. Without you we wouldn’t have gone to the school picnic. I hope you had fun watching all the kids playing sports, swimming or doing all sorts of stuff.

Did you know that without the adults help, Class 2 wouldn't be at the picnic on Friday. Their help was important. They were needed for looking out for us, for safety, especially water safety. But they can also be fun company.

Once a year, we would have a school picnic down at Pt England Reserve. Parents or teachers are needed if this were to happen. Like every Friday, we would have assembly. But on a school picnic day, Mr Burt explains what's going to happen in the hall.

Most of the time at the picnic, I read my book a lot by the trees while feeling the breeze. It was relaxing. I really had fun playing with my friends

and jamming on my guitar.

Once again thanks for your help.

What is a netbook and how is it used

What is a netbook? it is a technical electronic learning tool or simply small computer which is called a netbook are complex and could be used for work or research in school. We go online to do blogging and planning.

What are the parts? The parts on a netbook are simple, similar to a normal laptop but has less. It has a screen, battery, USB slot, charger slot, a touch pad, headphone slot, built in speakers. And all the simple parts it would need.

How does it work? You can use the internet to go on math websites like Maths whizz, Xtra maths, Studdyladder, or write using google drive. Then when you have finished your writing you post it on your blog where you can post your writing.

Extra details and interesting topic: If your netbook malfunctions then you will need to reimage it. Reimaging means resetting your netbook files meaning all your stuff that you put on will be deleted. First you will need A reimaging stick. You can get one from a teacher.

Kids interview

Wednesday was the day Class 2 (Room 21) interviewed the Yr 2 kids. It was a sunny hot day in the village. We asked questions about what toy the Yr 2 kids wanted. Each of us were put into groups of 3 or 4 and had up to 2 to 4 kids in each group.

Our task was to create a suitable toy for children to play with using the 3D printer in the street. Which means we need an Imac for designing the right toy for use. We searched and found a downloaded file called Sketchup. We don't want to design a toy that could harm children, so we need to be the right size, not to small or children will swallow and choke on it.

Lukis, Jordan and I were chosen to be a group of 3. Every group had 3 to 4 kids in their group but we only got two for ours. A little boy named Qwanell : age 5 and a girl named Syriah: age 5, they are both year 2.

We ask them what kind of toy they wanted. Qwanell wanted a toy car, PS3 controller, a Ipad. Syriah wanted a toy doll, butterfly, painting brush, toy animal, Ipad 2, teddy bear, balloons, and Dora the Explora.

I can’t wait till I finish my design. I wonder what it will turn out to be

What is empathy?

What is empathy? Empathy would mean feelings and emotion. It means understanding someones emotions or feelings. For example, if someone died or if you lost something like a teddy bear, and someone understands what you’re going through, that means he has experienced your emotion. That is empathy.

Another way of explaining empathy is “happiness”. For example, if I got a puppy, I would be happy and so would someone like a friend which also means empathy because he has experienced your happiness. Empathy  means a lot of things like caring for one another.

Holiday Highlights 2014

A good way to start a holiday is to spend time with family and friends. My grandparents house was where I stayed. Another sun rises as a another morning for my Mum to go to work, but this time she took me.

Nothing really happened just pure quiet until we got home. Home was just up ahead waiting for us. We’ve just got inside when all the drama was happening in the kitchen. I walked in the kitchen feeling board to see what was going on. My family suddenly sang the birthday song and a cake was waiting to be eaten by me. Thats right, it was my birthday.  

I got some cool presents mostly from my Mum

My Mum took me to a restaurant for my birthday. The culture was Thailand food. The food was great but the best was Thai pancakes with ice cream and fruits. I had a great time there for a while until it ended when I was too full.
