Week 7 Term 3 Post 7

Reading: This week we watched Bridge to Terabithia, a wonderful movie containing, lots of fantasy and a great story. Some of the examples in the movie, showed dragonflies as tiny warrior knights and squirrels became squogres, a cross between the school bully and a mischievous squirrel. Trees became trolls and an ancient, rotting tree-house became a fortified castle, where they could sit and relax, away from all the troubles of the normal world.

Writing: On Thursday we started a Quick-write on a fantasy story, letting our minds run wild, releasing them from the tight reins we had held them in since we had been at Rose hill. Now of course, if you don't use your muscles, they will turn to flab, therefore according to that logic our fantasy brains were rusted and old. I started off as a serious novel, got bored and started a new story about talking animals, and then along came Maya to ruin my day. By deleting all my work, and shutting down my chrome book, which made it impossible to recover the words. Yes, I did try to revise it but it didn't work, and starting from there my day got gradually worse

Math: Matific scores dropped and left us tired, angry and bored. (That's how I felt) I thought we would have a nice head-start. but instead we were taken back to the start and asked to race again. AHDSFGJWHFEJHJSHDJDHJ. That's how I felt. Anyway, right now we are coming 6th in the world and we WILL come first.

End of Term 2 Reflection

Image
Reading: This term we made our novel studies and we looked at Character Analysis which included Physical appearance, Personality traits, Growth, and relationships. After this, we used the information we had gathered to create an essay. The next task was main events and a summary, then mapping where we looked at the setting of the story. Connections were very important and there were three types of them; text to self, which means how we can connect to the book, text to text, which means have we read any books similar to the book and text to the world, which is about how the book has similarities to everyday life. Passage Picker was the author's purpose and the words they used to show emotions to the reader. I think that all my 'passages' were about the emotion of happiness, and one of them was about the first time Greg was racing in a rally. 'My fingers relax a bit. I stop trying to brace my feet. I breathe properly and my heart steadies. But that doesn't stop the b...

Learning Week 6 Term 2

Learning Week 6 Term 2 Reading:  I used visualisation and clues from the text to create a map based on the setting in 'Slide the Corner'. It was difficult because I couldn't get a feel of the place so I had to skim and scan for tid-bits of information that painted a very blurry picture. Writing: In writing, we practised quick writes, where we try to fit in one skill in a short story.We have used prepositions, practised descriptive writing using adjectives, adverbs, and figurative languages Maths: I learnt about the Mean, Median, Mode and Range and how to identify them using a poem. Hey diddle diddle, The median is in the middle. You add and divide for the mean. The mode is the one you see the most. The range is the difference between. Topic: I learned about the visual features of a Goliath Bird Eating spider and how it uses its hairs to inflict damage to the mucous membranes in the eyes. Its colour depends on which area it lives in. It's a varied sha...
