100 words

WALT: Write 100 words in 10 minutes

 

This week for writing we had to write 100 words in ten minutes. Here is one of the stories I did (it is not real). 

What I like about my story is that it is about two friends being separated but then getting back together.

Maybe next time I can try and use more grammar.

 

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Olivia. She would go to school every day and play with her friend Cerveja.

They had been best friends since they were 3 years old, but one day Olivia left their school, leaving Cerveja sad and alone. Oliva felt sad and lonely as well because they were like sisters, they did everything together, they were always there for each other, and they loved each other very much.

A few years later Olivia went back to their school but left again which made Cerveja even sadder.

One night Cerveja texted Olivia and said " I don't think we can be friends anymore, bye" it made Olivia cry and cry and cry.

Each night Olivia would text Cerveja, saying how much she missed her, how she wanted to work things out, but Cerveja never replied. 

Two years later Olivia goes to college hoping she would see her old friend  Cerveja again.

During lunch Olivia set off to find her friend, she looked everywhere, the field, the court, the field, the library even the bathrooms, but she never found her.

"She never came.." said Olivia as she sat down on the side bench, with a sad face, and almost crying, "Olivia..?".

Counting to 10 000

IALT: count to 10 000 by joining the dots, in order.

This week for maths, we had to complete a Numeracy 123 page, mark date, and score it as well. While doing this Numeracy page I learned how to order big numbers. For example, I started at 1010 and the next biggest number was 1027 so I drew a line to connect the dots. It was challenging for me because the numbers were small and I couldn't see them very well. Next time I will try and not get confused by the dots and just focus on the numbers. Here is a picture of what I did.

Create 5.5

WALT: Create 5.5

This week for maths, our teacher gave us a math game to play called Create 5.5, and it is super fun! 

What you have to do is add the decimals that your counter goes on, and the first one to 5.5. wins.

Here are my results.

Our Home Planet - What Are Hurricanes?

WALT:  Increase our knowledge by reading a wide range of texts (Article a day - Book of Knowledge)

Today's task was to write sentences about what we learned from the article a day we were assigned to, here is mine. 

 I learned that hurricanes are storms that swirl around and can go at 119 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the fastest land animal, a cheetah.
I also learned that hurricanes are categorized,e.g Category 1: Winds 119-153 km/hr (74-95 mph) - faster than a cheetah which is the one I was talking bout before.

Our home planet - What Are Clouds?

WALT: Increase our knowledge by reading a wide range of texts (Article a day - Book of Knowledge)

 Our task today was to write 2-3 sentences about an article a day we did on Readworks. Maybe next time I can add more detail by explaining it more.

I learned that clouds form from water in the sky and that the water evaporates into the air from the ground and other places. 
I also learned that high clouds form several kilometers up in the sky, with the exact height depending on the temperatures where they form.

Caricature art

WALT: Create and make a Caricature. 

Here in room 5 we had to create a caricature and post it to our blog.  

I learned that a caricature is a drawing that shows what detail on your face shows the most, and I really enjoyed drawing this because I could see what detail on my face shows the most which are my eyes.

Maybe next time I can try to improve on drawing the vivid lines and the dye.  

Inquiry (Nano girls)

WALT: Explore Kiwis lives and their stories of overcoming challenges

This week we had to do inquiry activities, and I chose to do the Nano girls tiny houses activity and for this activity, we had to write whether or not we wanted to live in one of the tiny houses and why. Here's mine:

I would love to live in one of the Nano girls' tiny houses because they are safe, and even though they are small houses they have a lot of storage space.

I also like how they have plumbing as well, and things that can fold or come out or slide out because when they are not out it means that there is plenty of space.

Finally what I like about it the most is that there are some with a toe bar so you can take it anywhere.
