Hello grade 4s! Welcome to the senior primary! The past three years that I have been here was really fun and there were lots of amazing activities! A few of my favorite activities that I did in the past three years were books by night which was a night were you would get hot chocolate and go to different classes and read books. Another fun activity was sports day which was loads of fun with my friends. I loves  singing with all my Emerald friends. Last year (2019) Elkanah had a production called bugsy Malone  which was very fun and i got to make loads of friends. You should be exited for grade 6 because in art we make masks which were so much fun to make and design.A few tips that you should keep with you are in drama always give 100% and never talk when somebody is preforming and get on the good side of your teacher it will help throughout the year!I hope you have an amazing time at the Senior Primary!

During IT we are learning about digital footprints and how to have a good one and I would like to share some tips with you. First I will tell you how to have a good digital footprint. To keep a good digital footprint don't post or say anything inappropriate and don't talk to people you don't know on the Internet even if they say they are the same age as you and never share any personal information. Now about why it is good to keep a good digital footprint because lets say that when you were 12 you posted an inappropriate photo  but then you deleted it but now when you are 25 and you are in a job interview the person who you want to work for they will google you and even though you deleted it they will find that inappropriate photo you poster when you were 12. 

This is my email to David's parents. I tried to make them feel better about David going away with a turtle.

Today during IT the Kestrels class did an a task on email etiquette. WE have a hyper doc that the whole class was on. Our first task was to watch videos and they write one rule that we learned. It was a bit crazy because the whole class was typing at the same time. Our second task was that we had to answer questions about email etiquette. Then we had to email our teacher about what we were exited about camp but using email etiquette. I learned that you must proofread before you send your email and that you must stick to the point. I thought that this was a fun task because we didn't have to work by ourselves through out the task.

                                                            Last week the Grade 6's did a poetry ILT . Poetry is a form of English writing , that sometimes rhymes. There are lots of different styles of poetry, my favourite style is a Haiku. People write poetry to express how people are feeling.  The activities we did over the ILT was we had to do a terminology task were we had to look up words and find out what they mean. Another thing we did  was  a poetry slam  were we had to come up with a poem and preform in front of two classes.We also had to write different styles of poetry  and then put it into a slide show. Another activity we did was a black out poem were we had to make a poem with words we had on a page. We also had to do an imaginary task which Mr Walker gave us a three poems to choose from ...

In class we are reading a book called Wonder and Mr Brown is talking about precepts, let me tell you about my precept that I chose.   I think a  precept is something that is a rule or something to stand by and something you want to keep for a long time. My precept that i found and liked is , ''Shoot for the moon but if you don't make it you'll land among the stars'' which means go for your goals but if you don't make it you will get somewhere else.'' You could use it for a lot of different purposes. Now I am going to tell you about this precept that I made ''They just want to be like you.'' which means if people hurt your feelings , don't care , they are just jealous of what you have and they don't. I hope that you learned something about precepts. Try to make you own precep ts.

My drake se name is Fluffy en Puffy en Huffy. Hulle is ‘n pragtige twee-koppige draak. Puffy is die oudste en hy het die grootste oor en wenkbroue.Daar is lang spykers op hul groot,vet tone. Wanneer hulle kwaad word,blaas albei die warmste blou en pers vlam by hulle neusgate uit.Almal loog weg van hulle,maar hulle wil net vir mense ‘n groot drukkie gee met hulle dik maag.Al hulle. vriende sê dat hulle vlerke baie majestueus is,en soos ‘n sterrestelsel lyk.Fluffy is die kleinste en sy ore , oë en neusgate het nie so baie gegroei soos Puffys ‘n nie.Hulle het ‘n vreeslike vyand,Ember,want Ember is ‘n vuur draak en hulle is ‘n water draak,so dit beteken hulle baklei altyd met Ember. My drake hou daarvan om deur die wolke te vlieg en wanneer die water in hille kleuvolle oë gaan. Hulle is mal daaroor om suur-blaar bosse te eet. Dis hoe hulle hulle kleur kry.Hulle niggies is Flaminke, omdat hulle ook hulle kleur van voedsel kry.Hulle het ‘n baie sterk stert wat enigiemand kan tref.

We did an ILT at school is was very frustrating because my partner and I did not get along well.We chose a hedgehog for our soil creatures.We had a bit of a problem because we where going to use clay to make a hedgehog but it was too stickey.I think our poster look amazing. For our presentation we did a safari scene and Luke was the hedgehog and I was a researcher.When Reuban and David did their oral they asked questions and I won a prize from one of them,It was a paper airplane.I was also also in Mamo and Amy’s oral it was fun.My favorite oral was Amy’s and Mamo’s.Here is a fact about a hedgehog they have 5,000 to 6,000 spicks on their back and each get replaced each year how amazing.I wore safari theamed clothes and I had binoculars that I looked through. For camp I hope Matthew is in my cabin.I am very excited and happy because then my brother will not annoy me. But I might miss my Mom and Dad.We are going to go to High Africa on the Breede River,I am excited to swim in it.I hop...

I am so excited because my family and I are going to the beach. I took sunblock,a beach ball and a small boat. When we got to the beach it was perfect and very sunny.My brother and I played volly ball,I won. But then the weather changed dramatically. It started to rain. Mom said "we have to go home". That made me feel very  sad. Then my brother came up with an idea, "we can play volly ball inside"I shouted yay! Then my mom made us a big rainbow cake.

My mom and I went to the hamburger museum. We saw lots of hamburgers. I saw two hands holding a hamburger,the hands were made out of newspaper,the hamburger was made out of stone.It made me hungry. On the sign it said it's meaning is give. Only robots can eat it,it made me think because it means give. So I went to go buy lots of hamburgers to give to the homless.I love giving to homeless,giveing  feels very heart-warming because they all said thank you very much. I felt joy in my heart.

There was a little boy named James. He wanted to go to Rainbowland to see the wide orange crocodile. James loved crocodiles,all kinds. So whenhe got there he saw the Orange Crocodile running,he could not belive it, and within a moment the crocodile collapsed. James wanted the Orange Crocodile,so he went into the cage and the Orange crocodile ran after him. then James fell in the water,but the crocodile just wanted to help James get back up. James turned around and thanked the crocodile. And just like that James woke up.Wow, what a nice crocodile he thought to himself!

"Mom please can I have slime?" "No you can't,the slime will mess everywhere says mom." "My favorite color is the blue one and it doesn't smell". "Fine you can have it!" So they went to the shops and bought slime. He took it out and the slime dripped through his hands on to the floor. Mom says " you can't get the slime any more!" So they went home and he tried to make slime. He could not make slime because he did not know what to do. Then his mom finally got him blue,non smelling slime.
