What I Understand About Fables

A fable is a short simple story with a familiar setting like a lake, park or a beach. And for characters, they could be an animal. Parts of a fable is a setting a main part and most importantly an ending with a moral lesson. This is and example of a fable: "The turtle and the hare" the turtle wanted to race the hare through the forest. The hare was winning then took a very long nap thinking that with his speed he can easily win the race! the turtle was winning with his slow pace and when the turtle just crossed the finished line then the hare woke up and ran to the finished line, and at the line he saw the turtle waiting for him. The hare said " Well you were right slow and steady can win the race."  In that fable there was a setting a main part, animals for characters and an ending with a moral lesson. I hope you now understand what a fable is if you haven't already. Bye!

Spring

A day in spring is sunny and rainy,

wind howling and sun shining.

Flowers sprouting and plants growing,

kids playing and students studying.

 Spring is always so fun,

some older kids going for a run.

Fresh air in our lungs.

bees buzzing and grass so green.

Spring is the best.

 Special Olympics

So you might be thinking the Olympics have already finished which is true. But the seniors started a special Olympics. We got into groups of 5, 4 and maybe 3, but that's not the point. When we got in groups we had a country name like other groups, so now we were in countries and made our flag  my group was Jamaica and a group of four the people in my group. There were 9 activities to go through they were called balloon badminton, human quilts, tin stacking, bean bag tossing, racing relays, heavy gumboot throwing, we stick together, human egg and costume relays. The first thing Jamaica did was balloon badminton and for last we did costume relays. It was fantastic we had a great time and also Jamaica got first place with a gold medal we were very surprised and super happy. But we did earn it, if you would like to see a couple pictures, look down below. See ya!

My Olympic Digital Learning Object

MY OLYMPIC DLO

So for reading everyone in each reading class were told to gather Ideas about the ancient Olympics or what's happening to NZ at the Tokyo Olympics. We watched some videos based on this and some stories, we used the information to create our DLO my focusing question was "What's happening for NZ at the Tokyo Olympics". I created a DLO about it and I will write it in this article.

At the Olympics NZ and other countries still need to social distance, wash hands clean Equipment and other stuff in Quarantine. And now there is a new Contagious virus called delta. And did I mention there are three very important called Excellence,Friendship and Respect.

The number of medals we achieved this year were "20" even if we still had to do the Olympics with the virus well, once again were are celebrating, Once again all countries meet together to get ready for the Paralympics. Once again the sun rises Tokyo is now handing the responsibility of hosting the Olympics to France (Paris). Click the link to go to my DLO.
