My Writing Starters!

 Kia Ora Bloggers,

Sadly we are in Lockdown. But I still wan't to show what I am doing for online learning! Yesterday in my online lesson, we did a story starter. I liked my story enough to share it with you. It is a slide that I will keep on editing because I will keep adding different story starters. I hope that you enjoy reading my story starters. Maybe they will inspire you to write your own story!

Here are my story starters:


When I did the first story starter, I found it hard to come up with the plot. But it was fine once I got going. My Sources were a picture that my teacher showed us, and google slides. Would you use my story starters? What would you change about my starters? Thanks for reading!

Super Scooper

Kia Ora Bloggers!

Sadly we are in Lockdown, but I will still keep posting so you can learn about what I am doing for online learning. Yesterday, my teacher tasked me with the choice of three choices. I chose the second choice. The choice was to make a tool that you could use to scoop out potatoes. You weren't allowed to use tape, or glue or anything. You had to pretend that you were in older days where they didn't have all of that stuff.

Here are some photos of my invention:


What materials did I use?

I used a bamboo stick, a large shell, and some flax.

 


   When I did this I found it tricky finding everything that I needed to make my invention. The shell scoops out the ground to find the potato, and the shell also gets out the potato. Why did I wrap the flax round so much? Well, I cut the stick slightly at the top to wedge in the shell, so the flax is making sure that the stick doesn't break so easily.
