What saint would you choose?
I chose St Patrick as my Saint because he would not give up faith in God, he really wanted to be the bishop of Ireland. He wouldn't give up faith even in the hardest of times, he was treated badly and sold a slave and still had faith. He drove out the snakes out of Ireland, but Ireland never really had any snakes, it represents an image of evil.

The pokedex chronicles!
This graph shows that 50% of my class think that grass types are water type's weakness, more people think that grass types are water's weakness than rock and flying.
This graph shows that 100% of my class think that an Arceus are more legendary than the other pokemon.
.
The graph is telling me that 75% of my class think that a fighting type is a rock type's weakness which means more people think fighting types can beat a rock type.
In this graph, 75% of the people of my class think that a froufrou is a normal type, so it shows that a froufrou is a normal type.
WALHT:
Write a survey using google form and use feedback to create and display that data in a pie graph.

Have you seen a black widow?
Black widow
Black widows are one of the most poisonous spiders in the world. Along with the other poisonous spiders. Black widows are one of the most deadliest creatures.
It can be found in Australia and New Zealand. However, it is rare to find it in New Zealand. We don't know if it could be in our roof.
It can be spotted by the red mark on it's back. It has a swollen body like a fruit about to explode. Plus it has fangs which inject it's harmful venom.
Its habitat can be under branches of oak, spruce, birch or whatever kind of tree or under your outside table. It might be found leaves and pots. Sometimes it can be in the floor.
Conclusion:
I recommend not having these kind of spiders like the Black widow in your living area, or outside. This type of spider is a danger to your children, pets and yourself. So, DO NOT APPROACH!WALHT: Identify keynotes and use them to write an information report.

Introducing the best day of gaming ever!
What: Roblox
Where:Home
When: In the holidays on Tuesday
In the holidays, on Tuesday, I was at home doing my usual things until I got very very bored and thought to myself, 'What's a fun thing to do today?',I had an idea, I hooked up my laptop to the wall to charge it and started playing Roblox.
As the menu of Roblox came up there were thousands of games to choose from, there was Hide and Seek Extreme, Rocitizens, Lumber Tycoon, Murder Mystery, Murder Mystery 2, Stop it Slender, MLG Slide, Escape Mcdonald's, Escape the Hospital, Escape the Dentist, The Normal Elevator, Work at a Pizza Place, Miner Paradise, War Tycoon and Robloxia Waterpark.
I didn't know what to choose ( seriously I didn't know what to choose), but something caught my eye, and looked very fun, the name of the game was, Roblox High School, I couldn't wait to check the game out. So I opened up the game tab. Soon it started it said I could be a teacher/staff, Principal, freshman, senior, junior and student, wow imagine being Principal, but I have to do a lot of work, so instead I'll be a freshman.
The game started, the first period was English which was in 2 minutes, so I hurried in class(I actually teleported there tehe), so in English class we were learning about nothing because everyone was jumping and flying and resetting themselves, which was fine by me because it was funny to watch.
After 16 minutes of jumping and flying and people losing their arms and legs and heads, class was dismissed, so I went outside and skated in the skatepark for a few hours. After that I was bored of the game so I exited into the menu.
When I was in menu I just wanted to play Work at a Pizza Place, so I went ahead and played. As I started playing, the music was peaceful and soft, then I pressed the button on the game and it zoomed in where the cashiers were, I pressed the button and I spawned in uniform and it said to take orders, then I knew I was a cashier, so I went to the desk where I had to take orders. I had a choice what to say to a customer, one of them was ' Our pizza is sure to kill you', I definitely wasn't saying that, instead I picked saying 'Hi, how may I help you', the customer ordered mountain dew and a cheese pizza.
I pressed the buttons on the console, and it sent the order straight to the kitchen, like, 'zoom', I didn't have to go to the kitchen myself, it did it for me, then the customer went to a table and waited patiently.
I went into the kitchen to check things out, and just like that I died, my sunglasses, my shirt, my arms, my legs and head all over the floor, "WHY", I exclaimed, then I saw that someone dropped an anvil on my poor flat head.
After a long day of gaming, it was time turn off my laptop because it was going overheat soon, so I packed it up and went to the living room.

The portal of destruction!
WAHLT write a narrative using the structure of a narrative.
On February 6th on Monday, It was just a normal day in Minecraftia. People building whatever they want like houses, castles, mansions and cruise ships, but on this day was very different. In a tree house in the middle of the woods lived Jesse, Axel, Olivia.
The expression on their faces were like being excited and sad at the same time because today was the building competition, but they always lose to a team called the Ravens, they win every year, Jesse, Axel and Olivia believed in themselves that they will win this time so they went anyway.
When they arrived something was awfully strange about the place instead of a building competition there was a pit of dirt. "Wasn't there supposed to be a competition here?" said Olivia.
"Yes there was supposed to be a competition here, but there's nothing here" replied Jesse
They looked and looked, but they didn't find the competition. "Maybe it's tomorrow, just maybe" suggested Axel
"It was supposed to be today!" exclaimed Jesse
then suddenly the wind became very violent wind blew so hard, so hard that trees started flying up in the air.
"What is happening!" said Olivia
"I don't know!"said Jesse
He looked back and there was a horrifying portal, sucking the whole world into it's disastrous dimension.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHAHHAHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Screamed Jesse as he was sucked to the portal along with his friends. They grabbed a part of the tree and went to the other side of the portal.

George the hero!
WALHT I have been learning to continue to combine close reading and inference skills to analyse text to learn more about the qualities of the hero.
Once there was a dog named George, he was a Jack Russell terrier, who died from injuries he received when attacked by two Pit Bulls. George had accompanied some children to the local shops and the Pit Bulls went to attack them and our hero barked and distracted the dogs to protect the children from danger.
When George barked to get the attention of the dogs away from the children he was being brave and courageous. He did not think about himself. As a friendly dog, he believed in protecting and caring about others.
George was fearless and confident that he could keep the children safe shown in his perseverance right to the end.
His owner received three medals for George’s actions and a statue still stands today as a symbol of his bravery.
