Presentations on the Chromebooks

In Room 20 we have been learning about different topics and making fact presentations on them.  Some people decided to make their own presentations on topics of their own choosing.

Everybody has shared at least one with me that we can put on the blog to show you what our interests are, and also what we have been learning about.

Our criteria for a presentation include:

* title
* use colour to attract interest
* change fonts to add interest
* make sure you have spell checked
* add an image to each page (if appropriate)

Feel free to add a comment to each presentation to help us make improvements for next time, or for us to know what to keep on doing!

Hope you enjoy :-)

Assembly Part 2

This is the video of the dance that made up the other half of our assembly with Room 19!

Enjoy :-)

Room 19 and 20 Assembly

Today we were in charge of assembly and had to present in front of the whole school and all the parents that came along to watch.   We produced 2 items - a dance and a movie.  We got to choose which group we went into and worked with that group for all of the practice times.

Here is a video of the movie we made.  It is all about bullying and how you should tell your mates to not bully other people.  Everyone should play together nicely and fairly!

Tiana's description writing

Morris is a disgusting, ugly monster.

His hairy chest reminds me of Big Foot and Sasquatch.

The bugs on his teeth is like Shrek.

He has a big red skin next to his cheek

is a big red rotten apple.

His big eye is sort of like E.T

I haven't seen the movie but

I have seen the trailer.

His mouth the bottom that goes on top of the other

Is like Despicable me 2 the purple minions.

The smell coming from Morris is Horrible.

Morris smells like a swamp filled with

Ugly slime, germs, and toxic.

DISGUSTING!

He stinks like DUNG because he lives in a home

Of DUNG he smells like the DUMP.

He needs a shower because he smells

Like the SEWERS.

Morris feels like Squishy,Slimy,Sticky.

His skin feels like bubble gum that is stuck on his fur

And he can't get it out.

He always feels like gooey and yucky that

is unbelievably disgusting.

Morris is really sticky like unremovable glue,

And he is really really squishy like a slug

because he is full with slime and sewer water.

Morris the Mankiest Monster

Morris is a monster … a slimy, hairy monster.  He looks like a hairy orange with legs. Morris is really disgusting.  He lives in a house made of poo and when its damp he licks the wall to keep it cool.  If you feel Morris he is slimy and hairy.  His skin is as bumpy as the bumpy warts on his back. Morris even has custard armpit.  Don’t you think this is really disgusting?  The smell coming from Morris is really smelly,rotten and he smells like .B.O. Morris even bathes in a toilet bowl . The water that Morris has a bath in is not even water.  It is … mud . I don’t know why he enjoys it.  I know I would not enjoy it . When Morris opens his stinky armpit a lot of bugs come falling out of his armpit and they are all dead. Sometimes Morris uses the dead bugs in his armpit to floss his teeth.The thing is Morris has lots of fleas  in his hair . Sometimes  when he  gets out of bed he gives his scabs a good pick. It’s really weird because there is a lot of  potatoes growing out of his pants . You may think  he’s full of disgusting  things but what he loves more is making new friends.

MORRIS THE MONSTER

BY PARIS_ DAWN

Morris is a monster that is really disgusting.  The only thing he worries about is making friends!

His breath smells like rotten fish paste and he has dead bugs under his armpits that smell like poop.  He smells like wet dogs and like dirt.  He smells like pee, seafood and nail polish.

He’s got bright green snot that dribbles down his nose.  He also stinks like phys.ed and he like beetroot.

Meleana's description writing

Morris the Mankiest Monster

Morris is a monster...a scabby, hairy monster.

His skin has red scabs on his body and hair...it reminds me about when a old man had hair all over his body.

He uses slugs to clean his teeth with yacky slime of a slug.

Morris baths in a mud bath and uses a scrub from some place and  uses it to clean his body.  When he looks under his armpit you can see spider webs and bugs underneath.

The horrible smell coming from Morris is unbelievable.  The smell is

disgusting because he bathes in mud and worms around him.  His smell is toxic and it is the horrible disgusting smell I have ever smelled.  Morris feels like a big, squishy, humongous pillow.  He feels like a big orange pillow because his hair is the fluff and his skin is the cover but only if the hair was inside him.

Morris is the orangest, ugliest, fattest, most terrifying monster I have ever seen in my whole life.

He eats junk like a fat monster.

Morris the Mankiest Monster

Morris is a filthy Monster .  His skin is an ugly yellow that reminds me of a rotten banana .  He has scabs as black as a rotten old apple.  He has two holes where lives a bright green slimy ooze that is called snot .  He has boils that is as big as  a baseball that is about to explode like a volcano.

Morris has long black nails that needs a cut so badly, his nails are long that he is the next wolverine  movie.   His nails are very long it needs a good cut.  

The smell coming from Morris is very horrible that will make you die in just seconds.  Dead bug are living under his armpits .  He flosses his teeth with fresh slugs straight from under the rocks to make it more tasty.  He eats the poisonous mole from under his toes.  He has a bath in the sewer and washes his hair in the loo.  He might be ugly and gross but thats how he lives….
