Email Etiquette

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.

Poetry ILT

                                                            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.

Choose Kind

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 Draak

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.
