Being a Human

By -
Today was another usual day. I could hear the chirps of birds in trees. I was sitting on my branch watching the sun rise. The sun shone on the row of houses in which the humans lived. I looked at the houses and wondered what humans were like. I decided to fly around and see. I passed a house with a rather chubby human sitting on the couch eating chips and sweet snacks. I watched him longer. He did nothing but lie around and eat. If that was all humans did, then it was better being a bird like me.

    I agree - it would be much better to be a bird flying through the air, looking down on the world from high up there, than a lazy human who does nothing all day. Imagine all the things you would see!

    Please check on the correct word for the past tense of 'shine' - 'shone' and the spelling of 'wandered' - it should be 'wondered'.

    Well done, Thato! I look forward to reading more of your writing!

Instant Messaging Guidlines

In IT we have been learning about instant messaging and how we should be careful of the messages we send.When someone sends a message we can not see their facial expression and we can not here their tone so we do not know how they are feeling. We were partnered with one of the Grade 4s from the Pheasants class. We spoke to them about instant messaging and how we can't see the facial expression or here the tone. We also explained what facial expression and tone meant and how we should use more words to explain how we are feeling or someone might take your message wrong. We have learnt a lot on instant messaging and I hope the Grade 4s did too.      Created in Google Drawings

A day in the life and home of a child in an informal settlement

By -
When I woke up this morning it was very cold in the house. The walls of the shack were wet and damp. I got up and took a towel to clean the the walls dry. We were fortunate that the metals walls of the house didn't collapse during the storm last night. My back felt sore. Very sore. It was probably because of my bed. It was hard and not comfortable at all. There was no sheet or pillow. There was just a bed with a small, thin blanket. All the beds looked the same. While I was getting dressed, I noticed that my sister's bed was empty. Dad had gone to the doctor with her this morning. She had a bad cold. Mom was up already. I said good morning. She made me some bread with butter for breakfast that morning. Before I left, I took one more look at the small shack and set off for school.     It was still raining when I was walking. I felt grateful that I had shoes on my feet when I walked past the kids that morning. Even though my shack wasn't the best shelter, I still am thanking
