Figurative Language

 In class, we have been learning about figurative language and also the difference between figurative language and literal. I have found it ok with the figurative language by understanding things like show not tell etc.

Knowledge Of Text Features River knowledge

 In class, we have been learning about water and science. I have been learning to use the different text features to help us find the right place. The different text features we have been using are sub-heading, diagrams, etc.

Self assesment

In class, we have been learning how to do self-assessments.

 WALT use study the bible to gain an understanding that we all need  God's help, mercy, love and we are all called us to forgive others.

 

The Bible records many stories about "forgiving". The Lord Jesus also taught us like this: when we forgive men when they sin against us, our heavenly father will also forgive us. However, it's hard to forgive from our hearts. With God’s help you can forgive. 

 

Your assignment is to research "forgiving", in the bible and share what you learned. You will need to use reference material such as biblegateway.com or search engines to locate stories of forgiveness in the Bible.

 

Begin by brainstorming possible topics and bible references

 

Create your own framework to record bible references you will read, key events within it and your thoughts. In week 8 you will use this to write what you learned from the bible about forgiveness.

New Ending

 In class, we read Thirst, and our task was to make up our own ending to the story.

I think I have done the following well: Figurative language, show not tell, and interesting sentence types.

Something I still need to work on: Make my sentences more descriptive and accurate to make sense.

Ryder ran to the nearest tree deeper into the darkness, he didn’t want his father to find him because he knew what was coming for him. dad shouted once more. His voice rumbled through the trees with displeasure, scattering the birds that had been perched at the cans quenching their thirst. Greed, jealousy,disappointed-what is Ryder going to do?
 ‘‘Ryder come here NOW, I'm gonna find you know matter what, Ryder heard his dad’s voice terrified, he froze instantly and fear gripped his heart. ‘‘What should I do, where should I go?’’ The more Ryder sprinted like a jaguar, the more he ran out of breath. 
Ryder had finally decided to come out of the darkness all scuffed up, make a choice and go home. It was late at night Ryder went sneaking around the house it had been two and a half days now. Brooke was petrified cause it was late at night. ‘‘Do you think dad will forgive me? His tummy rumbled with starvation  Ryder swallowed deep as he approached the door fear seeped through his skin, Ryder cautiously slowly opened the door creeeaaaakkk he tried to sneak in without getting caught, he had made it in, his dad sat on the old crusty brown shredded couch asleep. Pffft I knew dad wouldn’t look for me for that long. I know him too well.

Early in the morning his mother had woken up and heard a noise coming from Ryder's room. She looked through the little gap in the door and she saw Ryder, SMACK! Mum fell through the door. “Ryder your home” mum said with excitement and joy. But Ryder's dad was on the other side of them. He got up as soon as he heard Ryder's name ‘‘ WHERE is that little thief Ryder get here now’’. Ryder came out of his room with his head down. ‘‘ WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? ‘‘ What gave you the idea to steal water that is not ours’’? ‘‘Ryder you know that were are not allowed to use the water. From now on you will not touch the water and you will need to go apologize to the Carters for stealing their water everyone had hugged it out and dad forgave Ryder.
