Letter to Ken Catran

Today room 16 have been writing letters to the author of Dead Harry. Dead Harry is a pretty cool and awesome story that could inspire you, your teacher or even family to read more of the book. There's a site that has all the books that Ken Catran (author of Dead Harry) wrote and designed. I hope you like the video and my writing.

Dear Ken Catran,

I love your book about how Harry died and Sam being in a lot of trouble. Sam being in trouble reminded me of my brother and I being in trouble because we fight a lot. Your story is really, really interesting and I felt really amazed and it got me thinking, what would happen next? Can we read it more?

My favourite characters in Dead Harry were Harry and Elias Milton. I like them because Mr Milton (Elias Milton), could do tricks that were freaky and cool. I chose Harry as one of my favourite characters because he’s hilarious, funny and has got heaps of humour. Harry’s like my cousin Nate (short for Nathaniel), he’s really funny like him.

My favourite parts was when Harry showed up at the graveyard of his funeral, it was pretty cool and how Elias Milton transformed into a skeleton and did some other stuff to freak out the security  guard. My third favourite part was when Harry told Sam that his password was “Stinky Sam 2“, so hilarious!

Thank you for making the book, it was so cool and amazing you know.  I liked it very much. I can connect to that because I like Mr Moriarty reading us Paul Jennings books.

Sincerely,

Tyrone Harmer

Hennah Hands art

Today, room 16 and I have been working on our hennah hands. We have done some great work. I hope you like my hennah hands art.

I have done some patterns, and I don't really know what they mean so I made what they mean up. Have a great day!

The Minuscule Dragon

Here is my dragon story about a dragon and I put compound sentences, complex and simple sentences. This story has WALT or WALA sentences in it and they are compound, complex and simple sentences. I hope you have a great time reading my story of The Minuscule Dragon.

         The Minuscule Dragon

The minuscule dragon flew into the room from the window and layed on my fingers.He small dragon set flight from the tips of my fingers. He bursts out lava like fire that goes right through a tree! The dragon lights up with fire, I think his name must be Torch. All of a sudden Torch turned red and stayed that way. I looked up “what do tiny dragons eat” and the computer had some links to look at. I clicked onto ‘WIKIPEDIA’ (or Wiki) and it came up with heaps of things. It came up with meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and people!! I gave Torch some of my uncles hand that died last year. Torch didn’t like the hand, I was lucky that he didn't like the hand. I asked mum if I could have some meat, she asked me why.I told her it was for a project for my blog. Mum left and I gave Torch the 50 centimeter meat. Torch ate it in 10 seconds, he must have been hungry. I walked down to stairs to get more food. When I got back upstairs Torch was 2x bigger!! I gave him some more meat and he grew 4x bigger. Then he changed color again but is wasn’t his body it was his wings! The red wings turned Dark but he wasn’t turning evil or something.He flew out of the room leaving a hole in the wall and a 1 metre plop of poo on the road. Torch blue green toxic fire going through buildings and making hole through the concrete wall. The city was in a gigantic mess, Torch flew back to the house. When Torch got closer I saw a huge angry mom of people who had their town destroyed. I jumped on Torches back and he flew into the past to his family. There were different kinds of dragons, blue and orange dragons too. There was another dragon and he was all black. He looked kinda evil but he was just Torch’s dad making copies of himself. The weirdest dragon I ever saw was a Cockatrice. I also saw an army of people on horses.

The army had a catapult with a burning rock aiming at one of the dragons. The dragon quickly covered his scaly body with his wing that made the rock rebound back to the catapult. The soldiers retreated and I left for home. I said goodbye to Torch and he gave me a slight burn on the palm of my hand. “Ouch” I said. There was a picture of a dragon skull on it. “Woah” I said as Torch was flying away.
The End!

Geo Guess

Yesterday in class, we all went onto a site called GeoGuessr. So at the start it would show you a picture, any kind of picture of a place somewhere in the world and you click somewhere were you guessed it might be. When I started I got 1,983 points and the lowest pints I got was 13, the highest points was 7,427. To get the highest points you have to be close to the location or right on it, but sometimes you would get low points if your further away. Here are some pictures of GeoGuess.
