A Rock and a Hard Place

We are learning how to summarize  the text.

This story is about a boy who has to make a decision between two rugby teams the Springboks & the All Blacks.In the beginning his coach is having to help him, starting off with a small saying "You're stuck between a rock and a hard place" (Meaning:Having to choose between one thing and the other) The boy has recently moved from south-africa to New Zealand he also used to support the springboks but now that he has moved to a different country he has had something on his mind lately.


In his class his class mates ask him "Who's your favourite rugby player?" and for this boy it's hard to choose because he recently supported the Springboks but his class mates support the All Blacks so his response to that is "Richie McCaw".


In school,At home,On the field, Everywhere.
He has always had that thought on his mind 'Which Team do i support?' the boy and his father has ALWAYS supported the Springboks but now that he has moved to New Zealand he doesn't know if he should still support the Springboks anymore.


After dinner his mother tucked the boy in his bed, after reading another chapter of Harry Potter the boy asked his mother "Which Team should i support mum?" his mother looked at him with a small smile "I know you and your father supported the Springboks but now that we have moved, you should support some other team then the Springboks" she said her last goodbye's and left the boy clueless.


As the boy looked into his side he saw his cat ginger and white laying on his pillow slowly falling asleep.As he took a grip of his cat the cat purred and gave him a small look, "You don't have to choose to be Ginger or White, you can be both.I wish i was you so i could be both" the boy said slowly falling asleep, as the night went on the boy finally realised he himself could be both.

What helps me with my learning in literacy?

Chromebooks

Using a chromebook durning school time and after school helps me with my Learn,create & share. It also helps me finish off my work after school.This is also advance progress for our learning during school time.

Watching videos

My parents think watching videos isn't learning (Lol) but  watching videos is also another way of research training online,it also helps students understand more (Well if they are using their chromebook the right way).
Studying after schoolMost of the time when i am at home i  study and after free studies i have my free time on my chromebook~having fun on my chromebook means i can study better at school (tho my parents don't really think i do work😒).

Eating before and after school

EATING!As much as i love eating i also like to make my parents proud so i eat as much as i can to fill my brain up in the morning~ In the morning i don't eat junk food because i know that junk food is going to make my brain no tready to learn, that's why it's good to eat a proper breakfast like cereal.

Sleeping

Ah yes~sleeping~funny thing is  my dad pays  me for sleeping (lol) i love that  a lot but sleeping helps me rest my brain up for considerable events.

Talking with someone

Talking with people helps me better understand and communicate with others which helps me alot with school,having to understand others better also helps me.
