Little Red Riding Hood Narrative By Jacob

Once upon a time there was a little girl called  Little Red Riding Hood. Her grandmother was very ill and her mother asked Little Red Riding Hood to take some tarts to grans cottage in the woods. Little Red Riding Hood got her things ready, she was walking along the path then the big bad wolf saw in her basket. Jam tarts yum jam tarts you must be going to grandma's oh no the tarts have made me hungry. As she got to grans cottage and the big bad wolf had ran around the back to get into the cottage so Little Red Riding Hood couldn’t see. The big bad wolf gobbled granny up and changed into her nightgown and jumped in to her bed. Little Red arrived and open the door and asked why do you have such big ears “ All the better to hear you with” what big eyes you have “ All the better to see you with” But grandma what big teeth you have “ All the better to at you with”. She screamed very loudly, her dad heard her scream and came running in and shot the big bad wolf her dad saved Little Red Riding Hood so they all had lunch and lived happily ever after. The end

My netbook reflection By Jacob

This year I have found using my netbook to be successful. I have enjoyed using my netbook because...........

I have an individual blog. I can publish work on to my blog and put pictures, presentations, graphs and drawings.  I have 2474  pageviews on my blog. Before we can put our work on the blog the teacher has to check it for any mistakes from the teacher dashboard.

Another thing that I have enjoyed is........

It allows me to be a critical thinker by commenting on other schools blogs, class blogs and peoples individual blogs. The teacher can give me on going feedback because it helps us with our writing, reading, numeracy.

The barriers in using my netbook are.........

Flash problems and connectivity issues. I always go on Maths whizz but sometimes their is flash problems where I can’t get in to it or if half of the class goes on Maths whizz before me it is slow and it takes 10 - 20 minutes to get on.

Another barrier is.........

That sometimes my netbook won’t turn on if the battery is low or somebody drops it. The screen might crack and we might forget your passwords so the teacher or someone has to reset the password or reimage the netbook with a USB stick and that gets annoying.

The interesting aspects / parts to using my netbook are.........

Using different research sites for topic like celebrations and festivals. We can do our homework online by the click of a button because we can go onto the class google site that the teacher updates. The teacher tells us what sites we can go on or if she doesn’t people just go onto the class google site and go on fun Maths sites or fun Reading sites.

Motat Reflection

3. Describe three things you enjoyed doing on the Motat trip? Say why you enjoyed them.

I enjoyed the mirror maze because it was challenging and I kept on bumping into the mirrors. I like the aeroplanes because they had all of the information next to it. I liked the olden day furniture because it was nice and soft.
