Hey Bloggers! How are you? I hope you have been well and keeping safe in these tough times. Distance learning has been good, we are continuing with our regular timetable. Literacy has been fun, we are focusing on genre studies, and yesterday we started looking at my favorite genre which is fantasy. We were told to chose a film/novel and discuss how the different conventions are shown within that media. I chose one of my favorite book series, Into the Crooked Place. After that, we had to create a character that fit within that universe and discuss what roles they had to play in the storyline. This task was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it!
Kia ora, I am a student at Marshland School, Welcome - Haere Mai. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note my work may include spelling or other errors because some of it will be my first drafts. I would like to get your feedback - comments, thoughts, questions and ideas to help me Learn Create Share.

Fantastic Fantasy!

Spectacular Spooky Story!
Hi bloggers! Back into lockdown again, hopefully this one doesn't last as long. In literacy at the moment we're studying different movie genres, the first one that we are looking at is horror. I'm not a huge fan of horror films but it's very interesting to delve into the themes and conventions of the genre! Yesterday we were made to write a spooky story. I found this task extremely challenging to say the least.
In order for me to have any interest and motivation while writing this, I had to make it a fantasy story of sorts, and it sort of just went downhill from there. Turns out writing tension is extremely difficult and I have no idea how to make anything seem scary so it just came out as lighthearted. Plus my writing overall isn't great.
I tried. I can say that much. Anyway here's my "Spooky" story:

Perfect Production
Hey Bloggers! How are you? I know I haven't been active at all on here but I have a reason for that. As you might know, we have recently finished performing the Aladdin production! This was so much fun so I thought I might share some of the photos that we got of the show.
