My Digital Footprint Over The Last Week

   
I found out that I mostly go on YouTube,Instagram,Xtramath,Google docs and Blogger.

Google docs comes up so much because when we work on the chrome books we mainly use google docs.

Companies can track my browser history by maybe putting a virus on your computer to spy on what you are going on.

I was a bit embarrassed  when Instagram and YouTube came up the  most and my teacher saw it.

Sadako and a Thousand Paper Cranes

I have chosen this piece of work to share because Im proud of it and I enjoyed learning about it. I also chose this work because it lets you know about what we were learning about. In this lesson miss alam read a book called sadako and a thousand paper cranes. I really liked that book because it was sad and there was heaps of action. Every time miss alam finished a new chapter we would draw what we heard onto our story board. I mostly enjoyed drawing about sadako and her story. When we finished the story we made paper cranes which  was very hard people were getting extremely frustrated. Then we made paper lanterns I liked that part because we got to write values that we have or that we want.  

The aim of the lesson was to learn about the Hiroshima bombing and what happened after it, another aim was to understand what the Hiroshima bomb did and how it affected the people living there. I learnt that radiation from the Hiroshima bomb caused birth defects like, extra limbs,r extra eyes.Thursday 30th March:  Sadako Reading 




Re-tell the Sadako story based on the storyboard pictures you have drawn.  


  1. Sadako is a normal girl her grandma died because of the hiroshima bomb
  2. She practices her running so she can get into the junior athletics.
  3. When she runs she runs faster than ever
  4. When she stops she feels really dizzy but she doesn't tell anyone
  5. Finally after she had finished running she collapsed and her parents took her to the hospital.
  6. She was diagnosed with leukemia it was passed down from her family
  7. She spent weeks in the hospital
  8. Her friend Chizuko went to visit her.
  9. She gave her paper to make paper cranes
  10. She was trying to make a thousand cranes because it gave good luck
  11. She was finally able to come home but she got sick again and had to return to hospital.
  12. She hated making her mum cry because of her
  13. She met her friend kenji at the hospital but days later he died
  14. Chizuko came to visit and she brought her more paper cranes
  15. Her mum made her a kimono and gave it to her
  16. Chizuko came to visit and brought her more paper
  17. Then finally she was getting weaker and weaker
  18. She didn't have the strength to make anymore, the doctor came in and told her to rest
  19. And that night sadako died
  20. Her best friend Chizuko told everyone in the school to make paper cranes for sadako to put in her grave
  21. Eventually they made 1000 paper cranes and they buried it with sadako
  22. Her best friend Chizuko went on to make a monument for sadako and other children that have been affected by the Hiroshima bomb
  23. There is now a statue of sadako
