C.I.P

This week for C.I.P we are on a mufti day. Our mufti is for kids can. The theme for this is rainbow. Radical Rainbow.The mufti day is on August the 8th.

Our idea was radical rainbow. Luckily we won and this was the theme. We came up with this name because it sounded cool.

Kids can donate to kids without the basic. They have donated over 27 million food items, 170 thousand pairs of shoes, over 175 thousand rain coats, over 700 thousand health products and over 341 thousand pairs of socks. They also donated to 741 schools

This is my poster to promote the mufti day.

Art Narrative

Today for art we had to finish our art narrative. Our narrative is for our stop motion. Our stop motion is our main project and this is basically the script. Here it is:

It was a cloudy night in the forest. Timmy was driving along and he saw lights. He got scared but it was a ranger. He waved at her. But then he saw a set of lights. But it was on his side of the road. It was coming right for him. BANG! They crashed. Then he rolled back and hit a tree. 

Timmy got out of the car and noticed it was a wanted criminal named Johnny. 

He jumped back into the car and drove and the car was spewing out black smoke. “This can’t be good” Said Timmy. Then Johnny started chasing him. “He has been chasing me for half an hour” Said Timmy. Then he saw lights on the other side of the road. It was the ranger. They drove past her and Timmy was beeping. 

She turned around and chased them. The Ranger drove as fast as she could. She got to them and smashed into the side of the truck. Then the truck crashed into a tree. The Ranger helped him out and fixed his car. Then he drove off into the distance.

Reading Week 1 Term 3

Today we got given a novel for the whole of term 3. The book is called Night vision. Before I read the book I have to answer some question here they are.

• Looking at the cover, what do you predict this book might be about? 

Someone who has night vision

• After reading the back, what additional information do you have about the story? 

The character is a girl. Her family owns a farm and they can't afford it. She has night vision goggles. She might steal money from a criminal. She can't be in the sunlight

• What genre (type) of story do you think this is? ex) romance, thriller etc. Why do you think that? What clues can you see? 

I think it is a thriller because she is only awake at night

because she has a condition. She also has found a criminal.

• Personal comment: does this book sound interesting to you? 
  Yes because she has a pair of night vision goggles

• What are your thoughts on completing a novel study?
  I think this will be a great book.
