Cool children stories

 Kia ora bloggers! How are you on this fine day? We are looking at kids books, so we each get to create our own. This is my plot:

I: Carmel is a huge snoop who sticks her nose in everyone's business  

P: They overhear their parents talking about a present

A: Carmel assumes its for her she asks everyone if they know what her present is/ boasts about it

R: after asking everyone in town she sits down in despair 

C: In the end, her parents end up telling her that they are going to her cousin's bday and  they show her the present she thought was hers

I will post the entire story with images when I'm finished. Do you have any tips for me? Please give me feedback I really need it :3 Have a fantabulous day.

Perfect parachutes

 Hey Bloggers! How are you? Imma give you a real quick rundown on what we are doing at the moment.

We got to make parachutes out of some scrap fabric, string etc. we had to lower nuts down on the parachute and get the slowest time. Me and my group got 2.01s which was really good! We also had really great air control. Although we didn't win we did really well. I will post a photo later, my device is gonna die ;w;

What would you do if you were told to make a parachute?

See ya later! -Zoe-      

Interesting IPARC

Hey Bloggers! It feels like forever! At the moment in literacy, we are taking a look at children's stories by doing things such as researching authors and looking at differences and similarities between them or watching videos and breaking down conventions. I am really enjoying it and our end product will hopefully be a children's book of our own creation. We had to write an IPARC on a children's book of our choosing (An IPARC stands for intro, problem, action, resolution and conclusion. I wrote one about goldilocks then got a bit carried away by nitpicking. Anywho here it is! 

I: Goldilocks is going for a walk in the woods without parental supervision and no way to contact home.  

P: Goldilocks, gets hungry and walks into a random house in the middle of the woods because that's smart.

A: She eats porridge that may have been sitting on the bench for days, breaks a child's chair which means she must be very heavy as she is also a child and sleeps in a random strangers bed.

R: It turns out to be a bears house? and she gets woken abruptly from her nap in a random strangers bed.

C: The bears chase her out and make her run away into the forest with no way to get home or call for help because they ate her porridge even though they are bears and have no apparent way to cook or eat the porridge. 

As I said I started nitpicking. Can you give me a brief IPARC on a book you have read? See you next time.
