MineCraft Grand Class Design

Today I would like to tell you about Minecraft. Minecraft is a little world made from little bricks and you can build anything you want. The city council asked my class mates and I to designing and build 12 classrooms for 2014. We have had to make sure it had two or more exits, enough windows to let in light. We also had to include reading, writing and math centres. Our designs needed a good water supply, a good place to build, any shape and size class rooms, suitable storage, sufficient heating and the class needs to house at least 15 students and a teacher. 
First we had to draw a picture looking into the class from a birds eye view.Then we listed what we 
wanted in our class like a swimming pool and a computer room. Only then did we get to design our class on Minecraft. At first we couldn't have a two story class but when my teacher found that we wanted to design multi level classes she let us. When we were finished we got to build a house. 

In my opinion I think Minecraft is a good app for designing buildings and anything you want.

Our Hui

This term we have been talking a lot about sharing our ideas and it all starts with me then I can share my ideas with my friends, my school, my community then the world.

 When it was VSA day every person donated about 2$ each and that money will go to teachers to go to the pacific and teach and they don't get payed. We all dressed up on VSA day to show friend ship to are friends across the pacific. 

We also donated generously on Red Nose Day. Because we have shared our resources, our money, we are helping other children get the medical treatment they need to  get better. 

On Daffodil day we gave more money. The money we gave will help kids, teenagers and adults with cancer and we dressed up in yellow.
 
I think these days were fun and I liked donating for VSA day,  Red Nose Day and Daffodil day because my money has gone to people in need.
