Wondering about Wonder
Wonder is a fantastic book because we don't no what it is like to have a deformed face and this book helps us get the idea of what it is like for a child to have one.
The thing that stood out for me the most was that people were kind to him, you might think that it is really easy to be kind to someone like Auggi but it is really hard. What we need to do is to not look at their face but at their heart because that is what really counts.
This story has changed the way I feel about deformed faces, if you think about it we all have some 'imperfections' but the truth is that's what makes us who we are. I think that if we had a new kid in our school everyone would be super friendly but if he looked like Auggi then we'll give a little wave and be on our way. WHY?!
The character I would identify with the most with would be Summer. She sat down with Auggi and didn't even regret it, now that takes some strength. I wish we could all be like Summer and choose kind.
Be the kindest person you can be and you will never regret anything!

The Poetry ILT
Last week we did a Poetry ILT. Poetry is a way to express your thoughts and feelings with rhythm and sometimes it rhymes. People write poetry because they have lots to express or maybe they are making a rap to a song. Over the last 3 days we did Choral Verse, Terminology, Poetry Writing, Black out Poetry, Poetry Slam, Analyzing Poetry, Imagery and a self reflection.
My favorite thing was Terminology because we had to search up poetry words and the make a video with all the words in it. I enjoyed it because we got to think out of the box. The task that I did not enjoy that much was Imagery because I did not under stand what we had to do. I did not under stand the poems and the image in my mind did not link up to the poem at all! (I think). The most challenging task for me was the poetry slam, I had to learn all my words off by heart and my group wanted to preform in front of the grade! I wanted to preform it in front of the grade but I needed a little more time to learn the words. When we did it in front of the grade I was so nervous because I thought I would forget the words but I didn't so I was really glad that I didn't make a fool of my self in front of the grade. (Or did I?)
I learned some knew vocabulary to! I learned that "Nay" (what a horse says) is another word for "NO"! We had to say it in our poetry slam. I said that it would be weird because our poem is about emotions, NOT horses. We had to say it anyway. I learned that when I am nervous about something it will all be great in the end and that mistakes are just proof that I am trying.
My favorite poem is,
I love this poem because it is true and it tells me that if I do all of that, I'll be a great friend and that is what I want to be.

Mr Mischief
I'm in Grade 6 this year and I'm really excited for all the fun I'm going to have!
My favorite animal/pet is a dog. My dogs name is Diesel, the reason why he's called Diesel is because he NEVER stops going, like petrol, so we called him Diesel. We let him come on my bed and as soon as he's on my bed Daniel goes completely BALLISTIC! He would jump under he covers and Diesel would jump on top of Daniel! lets just say that I've NEVER gotten into a clean bed.....
Every day we take Diesel out on the golf course for a run. If we DON'T let him have a run he gets really energetic. Once he got so energetic that he ran into our garden with MY SHOE in HIS MOUTH!
Hes got this very weird craving for SOCKS! The very first time he ate a sock he had to have an OPERATION to get REMOVED from his GUT!!!! My Mom has this new thing to do when he gets hold of a sock, she'll stand behind the sock and Diesel will stand in front of it, then he will go CRAZY for the sock! He barks, grunts and once he tried to take the sock away from her, (it didn't work) Then he'll jump up and down and run in circles. Soon he calms down and lies down with his nose just a cm away from it. Then eventfully he walks away.

A day in your life as a poor child
Today was not one of those days, when I got up it was so cold it felt like I was in Antarctica! I didn't want to get up so my mom said I could stay home from school. When I finally managed to get up out of bed, walk all the way to the kitchen and walk some more to get to the cupboard, I was really hungry, I closed my eyes for a while thinking of a big fat stake and hoped I would appear in the cupboard, when I opened my eyes I wiped the cupboard door open and saw there was no food! I ran to my bedroom as fast as I could and when I got on to my bed I flopped down and started to cry, it was just not right, I have been living in a shack all my life. Houses that are made out of thin material, no food in the cupboard. It's not fair!
Latter I smelled something delicious coming from the kitchen, I went to go investigate. I saw my dad sitting at the table eating soup. Now I was not so fond of soup, but I was so hungry I didn't care. I wolfed down my food and went outside for fresh air. Though all the hunger and stuff I really had to go to the bathroom. I told my mom where I was going and raced down the street and when I finally got to the bathroom someone was already in there. So I waited and waited and waited some more, and as soon as she was out I had zipped in without even looking at who she was. When I got back I thought that the idea of one toilet in every street was messed up. At night the air was so frosty and cold I thought it was going to snow. I opened the cupboard while thinking why bother there will be no food anyway and I found one crum. A crum even to small for a mouse. AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!
