Hey everyone, this last week we have been working on our leaver slides. A leaver slide is a speech that the year sixes have to say because they are going to intermediate next year. We had to make a speech and a slide with some photos of us. This year we had to do a screen castify because of covid and the adults aren't allowed to come.
I am a student in the Uru Mānuka Cluster. I am a Year 5 and my teacher is Miss Scott. This is a place where I will share my learning. Please note that some of it will not be complete, it will be my first drafts. Remember to be positive, thoughtful and helpful in your comments.

Hi everyone, Every week we have to do a 100 word count my teacher has to pick a sentience or a few words to be in our 100 word count. This weeks 100 word count was a flash of light, then darkness, I really like doing 100 word count and writing. Here is my 100 word count hope you like it.
‘…A flash of light, then, darkness…’
It was pouring with rain outside. My family was stuck inside playing board games. A flash of light, then, darkness. “Oh no the power went out, what do we do?” said Mum. Everyone was scared out of their minds. ‘Boom’ suddenly lightning hit the roof . My dad ran as fast as he could up the stars to the roof. The lightning made a hole in the roof. He ran inside panicking and screaming. Everyone was confused. He walked up to the family with a depressed face. He explained what happened and called up the fire department, they took us away.
