Explanation...;HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT

In McCahon class we have been learning how to do quick write. The most recent one was about how to survive your first night in Minecraft. After we put it in a abcya wordcloud. Heres mine. Also here is the success criteria. 

If you want to find out how to survive your first night in MINECRAFT then you have come to the right place, because I am going to help you survive your first day in MINECRAFT.

First of all you need to collect all your resources .e.g. Wood to make sticks. Build a craft table to craft all of your equipment. Do not make things by hand because it takes up a lot of your time. Go mining for gobblestones they are really helpful in your stage.

Secondly, Find somewhere you can build a shelter. The shelter needs to have a good view. It is better to hide your equipment to mine later. If you can make it to where the ocean is collect as much sand as you can. Once you collect the sand smelt it and it will make glass. Also smelt wood to make coal or charcoal.

Thirdly, Take the glass you have made and make a glass house where a village is. If you make a glass house the creepers can't see you.  Also there is some animals like pig and cow. If you kill they will become your food/meat.

So that is the most important things that you'll need to know. This game is very intense. Hope you SURVIVE.

How to be a positive learner in McCahon class

Being Successful

Hi there I'm going to tell you how to be successful in McCahon Class. I am going to also tell you about learner profile, growth mindset and being self-directed In the morning I get myself organised for the day so I can start learning. To focus on my learning I need to be an independent learner.

To me the Learner Profile is mostly important. I think it is mostly important because you need to be everything that a Learner Profile is to be a positive learner in McCahon Class. All the things in the Learner profile helps you to be a whole person. If you were only Balanced and a Risk-Taker you are not a whole person. Now lets go on to the next step.

A growth mindset is one of the important things in McCahon Class. A growth mindset is like being resilient. Being resilient is one of the most important things in McCahon and so if it relates to a growth mindset it must be important. Have a growth mindset not a fixed mindset. That is why and what a growth mindset is important.

The third most important thing in McCahon Class to me is being self-directed. Being self-directed is like being an independent learner. In addition a Self-directed learner is focusing and being attracted to your learning. A self-directed learner is engaged with his or her learning.

So I hope that you have learnt the important things that you need to be or do in McCahon Class. It’s important to be a positive learner in McCahon Class. So

remember these tips if you join McCahon Class because it won’t be easy.
