My Favourite Game

Minecraft

Minecraft is a game made of just blocks.You can play it on Pc,Mac,I.O.S,Xbox,PS4 and Android. The resign why I like Minecraft is because you can build anything and there is unlimited space. In Minecraft there is three main modes. Creative is were you can fly and you have unlimited resources. Survival were you you have to mine and collect resources no flying and you have to craft thing and when you die you respawn. And finally Hardcore like survival but when you die you can not play it again and you are forced to delete the game. Also if you get board of playing by your self you can play multiplayer that is were another player joins your game and you can chat build and explore together.

Pythagoras Threom

How to do Pythagoras Threom

The Little Red Hed

A little red hen found a wheat seed. She decided to plant it. She asked a cat, a fox and a pig to help her.

“I can’t help,” said the cat.

“I’m too busy,” answered the fox.

“I've got too much to do,” replied the pig.

The little red hen dug a hole. She dropped the seed into it. She covered it. The seed grew in to a fine stalk of wheat. The little red hen reaped the wheat. She ground the wheat into flour. She mixed this with water in a bowl and made dough. She put this into a baking dish. She put the dish into the oven. When the loaf was baked she didn’t share the bread with the cat, fox and pig. She and her chick ate it. They asked her how it tasted. She told them that it was delicious.
