HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT

Mine craft is one of the most popular games in the world. Have you ever played mine craft? Oh that's alright because today I will talk to you about how to survive on your first night of survival on mine craft.

Firstly, Gather wood. Why Gather wood? You need to make a crafting table. You can also use your hands for most of the tasks in mine craft. Also it might take a bit long to get everything ready. 

Secondly, keep away from the mops. After that hold onto what you are doing and do as we say. Also remember to have light in darkness. 

Thirdly, Go and collect resources, food, cows or pigs. Also Mine cobblestone furnace later. Make your windows with sand. After that remind yourself to keep away from the mops.

 Finally, that is how you survive on your first night of survival. Also keep this so you can survive on your first night of survival. 

In Week 6 of Term 1 our class focussed on how to write great explanations. We wrote about how to survive your first night in Minecraft (the game a lot of us are obsessed with!). 
Here is my writing, after I have self-assessed and peer-assessed my work.

Signs of Success!	Self	Peer
Introduction - briefly tells the reader what the explanation is about
Present tense
Formal Language; Technical Language
Time connectives
Sequenced and paragraphed (paragraphs have 1 main idea!)
Ambitious vocabulary (adjectives; verbs)
Summary - may have an interesting fact or comment about playing the game

Writing Reflection

What: In reading I have to look for clues. Also It helps me find evidence in the book that I am reading. I think reading supported me in My learning and making connections with your prior knowledge.

So what: Helps us to understand the text. Thinking about what the story is telling us.Think about what kind of features are like. Evaluate the author’s thinking.

Now what: Always use this strategy to help us learn more about the text that we are reading. Also use this strategy to improve my learning.

How to be a positive learner in McCahon class

This is my first explanation text for the year and it was kind of tricky because I had not that much ideas so what I did, I was thinking of using my spelling words and that is what I used to make a good text about being a McCahon learner.

So next time I will know what to do.

In McCahon class is knowing each other and always focused on your work. You should always be open-minded and all those things are by following the hay park way. Also trying your best and being a positive learner.

In McCahon class everyone is a self directed learner. Self directed learner means to always be organised every morning. Also have everything done in the morning in all times. That's what everyone in McCahon class does. So when you know to be self directed in your learning.

We also have a Growth mind set. Growth mind set is all about saying what am I missing instead of I am not good at that. So there is lots of other things that you need to think about keeping balanced on your work.

There is one little thing you always don’t forget and that is the Hay Park way. The Hay Park way is being safe and positive. You also need to be respectful in the class and where you go.

We all have a learner profile. A learner profile is goals that you have been setting in the year. Also being a risk-taker in your own learning. It is about How I want to be as a whole person. That’s why you always have to be looking every day at your learner profile.

I think that being in McCahon class is a right stage for me for this year.

James I like how you intruded everything at the start but you were supposed to write about positive learning. And That is all about being a leaner in McCahon class.

2015 IS HERE!!

We are into week 2 of Term 1,
I really like McCahon class because I am here with my friends and also here with a very nice teacher
Mrs Kingston.
We are going to be setting some goals in the next few weeks and we will be sharing our amazing goals with our families.
The best thing about being back at school is meeting some new friends that had came from other schools.


Don't forget to check back on my blog during the year!
