Pobble 365: King of Winter

 Today for writing we did Pobble 365 (again) and pobble was being weird and it won't let me get in unless I sign in so I just restarted one that I had on a google doc from a while ago Here it is:

The King of Winter

Story Starter:

The Winter King strolled confidently through the river of ice. This was HIS domain. Here, it was always winter.

This used to be a place of happiness; beams of sunlight would streak down through the trees, pouring warmth onto the forest floor. Birds would sing happily from their nests, fish would swim in the warm waters of the stream and beautiful flowers would burst out of the soft earth. Now, all of that had disappeared, having retreated from this new age of cold.

Wherever he went, the cold followed him. Frost flowed from his fingertips, snow formed around his feet and his cold stare turned all life into statues of solid ice.

Summer was trapped under his spell. Would the world ever experience warmth again?

As the King strolled through the glistening forest of ice, snow drifted across the dark sky onto the ground, and not so far away, there was a village that suffered from reign. The people were cold and hungry, all vegetation are dead or dying and it’s too cold to grow anymore and it’s too dangerous to go hunting, water wasn’t a problem until recently, they could just melt ice, but the fire wouldn’t start, it was too cold,  and even if the fire did start, they could not keep it burning for very long. It has been weeks since this misery began, people died, from cold, from starvation and from the predators of winter. Many adults sacrificed themselves for their children, but as time went by, the conditions only grew worse, all they can hope for is that the King of Winter will take his stroll somewhere else, somewhere far away and never come back.

Show Not Tell

Today we did a partnered up show not tell instead of writing, my partner was Ryleigh and we did a

"what am I" show not tell on a google slide, here it is!

Pobble 365: Ice

For writing Today after we finished our activity sheet we have to either do a surf to turf blog post or a cooking challenge blog post, but, I did neither of those things so I did a Pobble 365 instead, here it is and I hope you like it!

Ice 22th of June  

Story starter: "Winter is coming", people across the world had been saying it for years. Now, winter had arrived, and it's icy clutches were spreading. A wall of ice had been creeping over the face of the world, enveloping everything in its path, inch by frosty inch. Cities and villages, forests and rivers; all had been devoured by the ever-hungry cold. When would it all end? Would the sun ever shine again?

Writing: Just another day in the long and ever lasting winter, as people bundle in their houses with the last of their supplies. It was too cold to go outside and who know what else could be out there aside from the life threatening weather in our town. The winter had came so suddenly and so many people were unprepared. I don't know how others still keep  on believing that it well on day get better as they take odds with hope to see the sun again. The dark clouds had cover the sky and the sun with it. a dark, cruel and cold world for us to live in. Majority of us are on the last of their supplies and on the brink of despair. Some people packed their stuff and are ready to face whatever is out there if it meant getting to some other place, somewhere else, hopefully somewhere better. But, my thoughts are that they will never survive, even if you do manage to survive the cold and whatever else is out there you would run out of supplies half way out of the city and who knows if the rest of the world are any safer then we are here. All we can do is watch as the snow drift across our front door and windows, there is no hope, we are all going to die, from the cold, from starvation or from Suicide. But not Today. something changed, something miraculous happened... a small ray of sunlight beamed in the middle of the city, I watched through my window as  more beams of sunlight emerge from the dark clouds, and as the ice started to melt.

Living on Ice Vocabulary

Shadow art

Yesterday (as you probably know if you live in Christchurch)  was not exactly a sunny day and when there was sunlight it only last for a little while so this was all I could do. I was originally going to post this Yesterday but my device went flat and then I forgot, so here it is!

Olympic Animation

This is a animation I made on google slide, I made it based off the Olympic logo figure and you can watch the video on the second slide to watch what it's actually suppose to look like. press and hold the right arrow to see the animation, I'm meant to do 10 logo figures but I didn't have time so I only did 4 so far, but I like the archery one best so far.  I hope you like it because it took a lot of slides and time.
