On the 8th of September, it is the international Literacy Day where everyone around the world celebrates the day and takes their time to acknowledge literacy. Being able to read and write gives people a huge advantage. Literacy enriches lives, word knowledge and creates opportunities for people to develop skills that will help them provide for themselves and their family. I found this activity interesting because I discovered new facts such as reading for at least 20 minutes a day could help you learn at least 1,800,000 words per year

We also presents our DLO to our class. I really found this activity shocking when Queen Elizabeth pass away.

First Impression Comparison by Bella H

Our reading investigation is exploring the characterisation of fictional figures and looking at how author's can portray characters in such a way that influences the thoughts of the audience. For the purpose of this task, we looked at two different texts that paint wolves in bad light and good light as well as observed how they are depicted to be the protagonist and the antagonist. The two texts I did were a traditional fairy tale classic; 'The Three Little Pigs' and 'Three Little Pigs Advert' by The Guardian. I talked about what traits, features and aspects of the story the author used to paint the wolf as a good or bad character. I compared the two texts and reflected on how the characterisation of wolves as well as other characters can show the audience an entirely different perspective. I concluded that stereotypes impact the opinion of the reader to the point where their perspective on a character may be difficult to change when that figure is different to what they are used to. Do you agree?

A perspective is a person's point of view.After reading and summarising both texts we thought about and talked about the facts to help us make an informed opinion. Our group found this interesting because we got two sides of the story Something I found interesting was in both stories the other animal was the villain

Chromebook Slam by Deziah

LI: To share our Chromebook tips with LS2

A SLAM is a presentation where the presenters have one minute to talk and share a Chromebook tip. This was during our cybersmart lesson. We did a SLAM to teach other people more shortcuts and ways to see the shortcuts. For example I did a shortcut on how to reload a tab quickly. We also had to use the colours of the google icon.

I really enjoyed this activity because I had a chance to share a short that people can use a lot for mistakes.
