We will have a Spelling Bee contest in my English class

Today I want to tell everybody about that today my teacher in my English class gave us the word list that we are going to recite in Spelling Bee contest. This time, there is only two pages. Now I am in different class so the words are harder. I hope I can do it very well. I will recite all of the word lots of times. The word that I recited is like 'because'. The word that I am going to recite is like 'community' or 'woodpecker'. They are all really hard now. I want to be the winner this year.

I already ate that first place chocolate. It was great. I want to get it again. I love to eat things but I am easy to be full. I want to be like my Dad, who seldom feels full.

There are lots of hard words and only a few words are easy, but it is not harder than before because even though the words are being harder, my brain is smarter now. Now I will try to beat everybody in my class.

Now I will tell you what is Spelling Bee. There are two rounds. In the first round the teacher needs to see who are the top three in each class. Then it is going to be the final round, the top three students in each class needs to fight. The winner is the champion. Everybody will be happy if they got the first place.

My teacher teaches us lots of things about English. He works really hard. My classmate works really hard, too. I believe it will be a exciting competition. There will be lots of competitions this month.

I think today I felt happy because today I told everybody about that I am going to have Spelling Bee. It must be a good competition. I think I will be happy. If you want to know about the Spelling Bee in 2017 you can press it: Spelling Bee Final grade 1. Do you think it will be a good competition?

Minecraft: Escalator!

Today I want to tell everybody a good thing and that is I made an escalator. Now I am going to introduce the escalator to you. It is not the normal escalator. It needs Minecart so you can use it. That means that is not for free. You need to have five pieces of iron. That is really much because iron is hard to have. Minecarts are really good because there is only one thing can move really fast on the ground and it is Minecart. That means Boats are also really useful.

I used powered rail to let the Minecart move. I love the way when I am sitting on the Minecart. I put Activator rail to let the player go down the Minecart. I think it will be good when you go to the top of the escalator. If you put a Minecart on the powered rail, your Minecart will go really fast because I put Block of Redstone under some of the powered rail.

If you know Chinese you can watch the video. Maybe you will think that is really strange because when you go to the top of the escalator. Why there is no anything? I will build it. It will be beautiful on this escalator. I will write a blog. What thing do you think I will put on the escalator.

I think today I felt happy because today I introduced my escalator. I was really like it. Do you like it? You can tell me. I will make a lot of really good things on the top of the escalator. See you in next blog, goodbye!

Tynker!

Today I want to tell everybody about that there is an app called Tynker. It is like Scratch. You can do programming in this app. I think this is a good app. It says there is a place to make your own Minecraft item. I think it is really good, I will try it. I want my world have lots of special things and I want to draw my own skin then I can use it in my Minecraft, but I will not change my skin.

I passed some stages in the first part. They are like Scratch. There are some blocks that Scratch doesn't have like long jump, jump or super jump. There is a block called walk, but it doesn't have the block that says how many time do the character need to move. You need to use repeat to tell the computer to know how many steps do the character needs to move.

I learned some blocks, but I already know some, so I can do it faster. I passed three parts in the first big part. They were really fun. I recommend to everybody. I love this app. Minecraft + Scratch is really good. I 100% like it. I want to have more blocks to build lots of special things in Minecraft, so I will draw the blocks that I want. And I can make new weapon, so it will be really cool.

I think today I felt happy because today I introduced Tynker to you. Do you think you will like this app? I really think you will like it. You can download it and you can play it. See you next blog~

Minecraft: The room that will only open at night

Today I want to tell everybody about that today I played Minecraft that is on the computer and Minecraft that is on PS4. The room that will only open at night is in PS4. I used Sticky Pistons to be my door. I put some Daylight Sensor on the top of the Sticky Pistons. I think that is cool but it is a trap. Inside the room there is a bed. I said that the door will only open at night, so when you wake up. It is already closed. You need to wait for a long time.

When I was playing PS4 I made somethings else. They all need Sticky Pistons, so they are secret doors. It is under the ground. There is only a bed. It is not really good inside it, but I will add lots of things inside it. It might be pretty. I want everything that I make to be beautiful. This is the only thing that I want when I am making the things. I will watch video and learn more things about red stone, so I can write them to be my blog. I will be happy and everybody will be happy.

Tomorrow is Monday. That means tomorrow I can't play much Minecraft, but I will still have fun. I want to tell everybody a thing about quiz. November 11th, which is my birthday. I will have an exam. I am so sad, I don't want exam, but if I go to the exam maybe I can get certificate. I will be really happy. There will be lots of quiz this month. I will try to get many certificates.

I think today I felt happy because today I made a little trap. I think this trap is a really good thing because I love to trick other people, but you can choose not to go inside the room. Do you think my secret base under the ground is good?

《給中小學生的藝術史：繪畫篇》電子學習單 / Yu

1. 請跟你的學習伙伴（Jin / Yu / 媽媽），找個時間，一起「一頁一頁」翻過這本書，看看裡頭所有的畫作，說一說這個時期的特色是什麼，複習一次繪畫史的不同時期。然後，選出你最喜歡的時期，並說明原因，至少三行。

答：我最喜歡的時期是文藝復興時期，因為這時候的畫家都很會畫畫，尤其是米開朗基羅，他畫的作品我都很喜歡，就像是創世紀，這一幅畫裡面有畫一個腦，聽說當時的米開朗基羅很喜歡解剖。

他也有一個地方讓我覺得他很厲害，那就是他可以在 5 年內快速的畫完整棟西斯廷教堂的壁畫。


2. 選出你最喜歡的一幅畫，你可以用掃描的，或者上網找圖片，貼在下面。並說明你喜歡這張畫的原因，至少三行。

我喜歡「最後的晚餐」這一幅畫，因為我覺得他們的姿勢都歪七扭八，很好笑，而且如果坐在最左邊的人想要跟做在最右邊的人講話的話，不就要爬到那裡了，沒想到這一餐最後的晚餐吃完後，耶穌就被釘在十字架上了。


3. 以你最喜歡的時期的風格，使用 iPad 的繪圖軟體，畫一張圖，貼在下方。並說明你作品的特色，以及創作的概念。（例如：你喜歡印象派，你可以用印象派的方法，畫你早上起床第一眼看到傑尼龜或胖丁的印象。）

我畫這一幅午後的蘋果的想法是來自於午後的紅茶，我在畫蘋果的葉脈時覺得葉脈太粗了，於是描了黑邊，我想要學達文西，於是我在蘋果上修改了一下子。


4. 使用 Minecraft 或 Scratch 或 Scratch Jr，做出一個作品，並錄影說明。可以是繪畫史的小動畫，可以作關卡與闖關表達繪畫史的進步，都行。設計的過程中，可以跟大人互動討論，讓作品更完善喔！

I made it when I finished eating lunch, everybody is going to take a nap. I didn't take a nap, because I want to make something really cool. First I didn't know what should I make. Then I push my sister's chair to my seat. Then I think about train. I think train has many parts, so I think chairs can be the parts that is in the train. I didn't think about how to make them be together, so I think a few minute. Then I know that I can use something really long to let the chairs go together.

I looked around but I didn't find anything that can help me. I thought it will be better to take a nap, but I still want to finish it as fast as I can. I tried everything then I tried the best thing and it is the jacket. I used jacket and try lots of ways. I was a little bit tired, but finally I finished it! I was really happy, and always play with it. Then my Mom helped me to take a beautiful picture with my little car.

I think today I felt happy because today I made a little car. This is the best thing made by me. This is the biggest thing I make and it is also the most useful thing that I made. It is the coolest thing that I made. I said that if I finish something I will be happy. Do you think it is a good thing?
