   For this blog I will show you some of my writing   And it's a play called Musem madness!!!. And it's 8 pages long so sorry about this.So I hope you can tell me what's good  what needs improving and what's good. So the story is about 2 boys and 2 girls

And when they go into the museum they bump into a golden statue. 

             Museum Madness !!!

Teacher : Ok can everyone please walk single file to the school bus. 

Ben : Oh boy. I hope this museum is better than the last one. It was so boring I fell asleep

Carlos: Ben did you hear that? This museum has a real gold statue in there. 

Narrator : But behind them were Stefany and Emily, eavesdropping.

Emily : Really Carlos? You think it’s a real gold statue, ha dream on.

Stephanie: Emily’s right. It’s a fake gold statue. Just look at the newspaper. It looks fake.

Ben: Ok let’s just stop fighting and listen to the Teacher to see what group we’re in ok?.

Emily: FINE!!.

Stephanie: FINE!!.

Carlos: FINE!!. 

Narrator: So after five minutes the last group was called out.

Teacher: Ok and the last group is Emily and Stephanie.

Emily and Stephanie: Ya we’re in the same group.

Teacher: And  Ben and Carlos.

Emily and Stephanie: Nooooo!!

Ben and Carlos: nooooo!!

Teacher: Ok please go on the school bus and fill up from back to the front of the bus. Thank you.

Narrator : So one minute later the school bus was full except for two seats. Ben, Carlos, Emily, and Stephanie were all looking  at each other.

Ben : I call window seat. 

Carlos : No I do. 

Emily : No I do .

Stephanie : No I do.

Narrator : So they all race to the last two seats but as they’re all fighting over the last two seats the Teacher is looking at them and tells them off.

Teacher : Hey!! you  four stop fighting Emily, Stephanie, Ben, Carlos just sit down on the two seats there’s plenty of room for all four of you.

Narrator : One hour later after that long bus ride they finally got the the Museum of natural history and got off the school bus and got into their groups.

Teacher : Ok, you can go and look at anything you want to look at.

Ben : I want to look at the the golden statue to see if it’s real or not.

Emily : Ok let’s see it then.

Stephanie : But it’s up at the top floor. Are we really going all that way just to see if it’s real or not?.

Emily and Ben : Yes.

Stephanie : Ok.

Narrator : Then Emily, Ben, and Stephanie left Carlos behind and went straight to the golden statue to see if it was fake or not and then a minute later they got to the room of the golden statue.

Ben : Wow it looks so real.

Emily : Well will see it to believe it then.

Narrator : Then Ben puts his hand out and touches the golden statue and an alarm goes off and two security guards came running as fast as they can.

Security guard one : What happened here? Did one of you touch the statue?

Ben : No.

Stephanie : No.

Emily : No.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

Security guard two: Ok then.

Ben : But we did see a man. And he touched it.

Security guard one : Well do you know where he went?

Ben : Yes he went running towards the exit.

Security guard two : Ok maybe we can still go catch him in time.

Emily : Well you better go and get him then.

Security guard one : Ok then but stay out of trouble Ok?

Ben : Ok.

Emily : Ok 

Stephanie : Ok

Ben : So let’s see.

Narrator : Then Ben tries to touches it for the second time.

Ben : It feels heavy and really hard.

Emily : Ok I’ve got an app that if you take a picture it will tell you what it is.

Stephanie : Well what are you waiting for just do it.

Emily : Well ok.

Narrator : 3 minutes later the app finally finishes .

Ben : So is it real or not Emily?

Emily: It’s real.

Ben : Yes I was right in your face.

Stephanie : Ok guys we should be going now before we get caught.

Ben : Ok let’s go. 

Narrator : Then  when Ben takes his hand off the statue, the statue starts and shakes and falls and snaps in half onto the ground.

Emily and stephanie : What have you done Ben!!!.

Ben : Hey it’s not my fault plus this would not have happened if you did not eavesdrop on us.

Emily : No don't you drop this on us it’s Carlos’s fault, he’s the one who said there was a real gold statue.

Stephanie : Anyway where is Carlos?

Ben : I think he’s at the history centre.

Carlos asleep/ : snore, snore, snore.

Emily : Anyway we have to fix this up. Right? 

Ben : Ok let’s look through our bags to see if there’s any glue.

Narrator : After 7 several minutes looking for glue but they find nothing until Ben finds something. 

Ben : Hey guy’s look at what I found.

Emily : What is it?

Ben : Tooth paste.

Stephanie : And what do you have tooth paste for? 

Ben : I don’t know?

Emily : Well, maybe use the toothpaste and glue it back. 

Ben : Ok.

Stephanie : Ok.              

 Narrator : 1 hour later they finally finished.

Ben : Come on let’s get out of here.

Emily : Ok, but don’t forget Carlos, Ok?

Ben : Ok.

Stephanie : Ok.

News man : Breaking news, the golden statue has been broken and who ever did it tried to fix it with toothpaste and this has been  seven news.

Visit to Maidstone

Yesterday RURU class went to Maidstone intermediate for a tour and had a turn at some of the activities we walked around the class and we saw same of the students working with their writing book but we work a lot on a Chromebook. I am looking forward to writing in a book because I prefer that. I am used to using a pencil, not a keyboard.
What devices do you use to write with?

Plateau school

In kea class we have been doing writing math reading and most of all we have used chrome books  to do our writing , research and presentations.

I normally have to edit  my writing because I don't normally don't pay much ate chin to spelling. Some words I find easier to spell than others!   

Have you been on a visit to Maidstone Intermediate?

Top Tips for Writing - Silverstream School

We really want to help you with your writing. Here are some ideas that we use all the time.

• Look at a check list to see what you need to do 
• If you don't know how to spell a word check it in a dictionary
• If you are working on-line and the word is underlined in red use the spell checker 
• Always re-read your work to make sure that it makes sense
• Work with a buddy because they can help you with ideas and spelling
• Plan your ideas so you can make sure they are in order
• Make sure as you are writing to check that it is following your plan
• Add descriptions to help make your writing more interesting

Look at us!

Here we are and we will be telling you about all the positive things about using devices in the classroom and at home. These are some of the apps and websites that we prefer to help with our learning:

Book Creator - helps share what we have learned. We think that before jumping onto the app planning your ideas using a story map will get ideas from your head in order and help it make better sense.

Oxford Owl - Is a great link that give access to over 200 books. The awesome thing about this is that it reads the story out loud to you for you to follow. You have a choice about what age and book type.

www.oxfordowl.co.uk

Sumdog - You get to play games that help you with your Basic Facts. We like Sumdog because it is really fun. There are animals that show you what level you are at. It is kid friendly; it doesn't have any bad language. 

Study Ladder - It is similar to Sumdog but it covers many more subjects. Tasks are set by your teacher and it can help you review your class learning. You can challenge people from all around the world. You also have a choice as to what stage you work in. Something to remember is that it sometimes needs Flashplayer to work.

That's us for today and thanks for reading through.

Great first meeting!

Well done everyone! 

What we will do!

We will look at posting or commenting weekly on the blog- adding questions, sharing learning and commenting on each others posts. A great first meeting!

Sharing our Learning

We are sharing our learning. We shared Google Docs, Mathetics, Using numeracy equipment, group sizes. 

Students also talked about how working with devices helps focus their learning. Book creator is an easy way to share research.  Google drive was also another way to present learning. The Peacock Spider was lots of fun. Word cue which has predictive text. It makes it easier to get your ideas down on paper. 

Welcome to our blog! This is where we will be able to share our learning.We will be using and posting on the blog at our meeting at Silverstream School on Friday.

Remember what you put on the internet will be there forever and your audience is not just our group but the whole world!
