 I read 21 pages of Tom Gates Biscuits Band and Very Big Ideas. The author of the book is Liz Pichon.

Tom Gates wanted to make a biscuit band and had very big ideas but his teacher Mr Fullerman had different ideas he moved all the tables around so Tom couldn't make the cookies.

Tom Gates had a fun idea making biscuits, like different kinds of biscuits and his idea went uphill.

To find out more of Tom Gates read it for yourself and have fun reading it. I love this character because he makes cookies and I love cookies.

Basic Fact Boxes

 I accomplished to beat a Demon challenge up to 100 on addition.

I got a total of 100/100. My time was 5 minutes and 43 seconds.

My mission is to beat 5 minutes and 43 seconds on the same level.

I need to do a harder level on addition.

L.I. To recall basic facts fluently and quickly. 

Teamwork

 Teamwork is a term to describe a group of people working together to achieve a goal.

Team consists of the three main mechanisms.

Commuication is talking to each other and sharing information. Commuication uses thinking and explaining an idea. An example of communication in dodgeball is when people talk about a plan to defeat the other team.

Cooperation is helping and protecting each other. Cooperation is telling someone about a person attacking them. An example of this in dodgeball is planning a technique to beat the other players and everyone follows the plan.

Collaboration is working together to achieve something. In dodgeball collaboration is working together to defeat the other opponents. In a game this could be shown by half of the team aiming for one person and the rest of the team are defending.

To be successful as a team all three mechanisms need to implemented throughout the activity.

Making connection

Making connections allows people to connect with themselves, other text, and the world. There are 3 different kinds of connections and they are: text to self, text to text, and text to world.

Text to self is when writing a text from the book and think of something the same as what the text is.

For example The duck had a party with her friends from the village. The duck’s friends had a party because the highway rat stole was gone. The self to text for it is I have parties when something important or exciting happens. These can connect because both celebrate something important.  

Text to text is when getting a text and find a book that is kind of the same. For example the duck tricks the rat saying she has a sister. The duck was trying to avoid the rat from being eaten. The text to the text of this is the mouse in the Gruffalo tells the snake, fox and owl that he has a friend called the Gruffalo. So he won’t be eaten by them. These can connect because they both used trickery.

Text to world is when taking a text and finding something bad that's happening in the world that is kind of

the same as the text. For example the duck went to retrieve the food to the villagers. The duck had to find a way to return the villagers food back. The text to the world is that people are making food for homeless people around the world. These can connect because they both give food out to people.

Making connections is a way to help understand the text, to other texts, to yourself and the world.

Minecraft Guide To Exploration

 I read the whole book of Minecraft Guide to Exploration. The illustrator of the book is Ryan Marsh.

This book talks about the landscape in Minecraft, naturally-generated structures and monster and animals.

They're different kinds of landscapes like (exteme hills, flower biomes,)

They're even different kinds of animals and monsters like ( illgers, pillagers, villagers,)

Naturally-generated structures like (jungle temple, dungoen)

I enjoyed this book because it talks about information about mobs and buildings. Others could read this book if they haven't played minecraft before.
