Lit literacy.

Hi Bloggers, welcome back! How have you been? Here in NZ our quarantine level has now dropped down to level 3! Today in literacy we took a look at the theme home, after discussing it we had to answer a few questions, here are my answers.

Why did Oz never feel like home to the wizard? Why did it never feel like home to Dorothy?
I think oz never felt like home to the wizard and Dorothy because it wasn't where they came from, it felt new and uncertain, they never knew whether they were safe. The wizard felt like he had to become somebody else to fit in and Dorothy was super unsure of everything.

Dorothy travels a long way just to end up back where she started. Do you think she'd call her journey pointless? Why or why not?
 I don't think Dorothy's journey was pointless as she grew as a person, she discovered her likes and dislikes, she also helped others discover themselves. She discovered that she was a born leader, I don't think she had gotten that chance on the farm. She also made lots of friends and found a second family. 

Those are my answers! I quite enjoyed writing those out actually, it was really fun. What's your favourite thing to do at home?

Khan academy.

Today for maths we had a little refresher on adding and subtracting decimals, we used courses on Khan academy to do this, it was actually really enjoyable, there were videos to watch and then problems to solve. It's not just maths on their either its got all sorts of crash courses to complete my favourite is probably the Disney collection they have on there. Make sure you go check it out! Anyway, see you later.

Super circles.

Hey Bloggers, today for maths we had a look at circles, I never knew that they had so many different parts! we had to create a piece of art using circles, it was really fun. Here's the finished product.

Can you list all the different parts of a circle? I will put the answers in the next blog post, but I'll give you a hint, there are 8. Have a great day! -Zoe- 

Dazzling Dorothy .

Hey Bloggers, today I created a piece of collage artwork based on the wizard of oz, first I had to draw my outline image, then I had to find stuff to fill it with, this wasn't hard as I love scrapbooking. Heres the final outcome.

  Sorry its turned sideways. What do you think? Have a great day.

Surprising similarity.

Hi Bloggers, today for literacy I had to list some movies or books that are similar to The wizard of oz this is was I came up with.

Alice in wonderland - Both movies have young female protagonists who suddenly find themselves in curious magical worlds, both young heroines go on a magical quest to find their way home making dangerous enemies.

Chronicles of Narnia - In both books the main characters find themselves in a new magic land filled with curious talking creatures (Lions) and they find themselves the greatest enemy of an evil witch.

Peter pan - In both movies, we have young characters who find themselves in a new magic world, they make good friends who are both magical and normal (well not normal), in both stories they have a loyal and lovable dog, both movies also have a very angry antagonist.
 

 Can you think of any other books or movies that are similar to The wizard of oz? Have a great day.

Sorry, it's a bit hard to read! What does your daily schedule look like?
