Why it's great to be me?

It great to be me because I get to play in any sport competitions during my time at school. I'm still young and active, I am competitive sometimes even if it's not a game. Lastly it great to be me because I get to learn different things about history, culture, Maths,Reading,Writing and different types of sports. I found this easy because I had to technically describe my qualities and things about me.

Two Day Woner

Two Day Wonder

There is a clever contrast between the way the poet describes yesterday and today.  List all the words that give you a feeling of being sick, sad, depressed or bored. Silent,drooped,dragged,sulked,yawned and grumbled

Now list all the words that describe feeling well, happy, bright and active from the second verse.  Better,Swish,Clatter,Hurry,Flying,Gallops,Shine and Dances

he lines from each verse matchup also.  List five of the opposite images.  This first one is done for you.

The street stretched silent, footpaths still - Cars swish, skateboards clatter.

1. Washing dropped on the line - Shirts, sheets, socks stream in the breeze .
2. My bike lay on the drive - My bike waits by the garage .
3. Clouds dragged, low and slow. - Clouds hurry, high and flying
4. The dog sulked in his basket - The dog gallops round the house.
5. The world yawned and grumbled -The world shine and dances.

This is called juxtaposition.  Look this word up in the dictionary and copy the definition here

the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect.

"the juxtaposition of these two images"

Today for reading we read a poem and answered questions involving the poem. I found this a little bit difficult because I was confused at the start but continued on and improved my answers. Next time when I do something similar to this I need to read the poem more then once slowly and carefully.

You've got 2 minutes

I see the rapid fire of handballs being missiled across the courts as if they were starting world war 4. Skillfully I dodge every ball zooming past my face like a ninja. I smell the strong cologne wafting through the senior playground almost like we’re all at the Oscars trying to impress each other. Sadly this is mixed with the odour  of sweat that seems to sting me every time I walk past the courts. I hear all the complaints and excuses as the handballs continue to bounce. The girls screeching annoyingly,  “Stop pushing in!” always hurts my ears as I walk by. I feel the squishy round handball fall into my palm as I skim it as quick as possible. My mission to aim at others and protect my territory. I’m King at last but as soon as I think I'm winning, I get skimmed out without noticing. I taste defeat at first but the stronger taste is that of victory, as I know I left the court as King.
Today we used the 5 senses to create a story of what happens during lunchtimes. In my story I talked about handball and the loud noises that goes on during that time. We all had 2 minutes write a sentence for each of the 5 senses, I found this hard because I couldn't think of any powerful words to put in my story, but at the end I still had fun and fixed up my mistakes.

Flexitangle

Yesterday we created a flexitangle with A3 paper. When we finished colouring we had to cross and score it with scissors and a ruler to make it straight. Lastly we glued the edges and had to fold it to make it look like this picture. After I was done it came out looking like this, even though it was very difficult I had lots of fun doing the process. I have learnt to draw designs bigger to make the colouring part easier and next time when we do a hexiflexigon I need to take my time and do not rush. 

Fosbury Flip

Today I have created a DLO about a famous quote and a famous person who made history. Dick Fosbury was famous for his inspiring quote and Fosbury flip that he created to win the gold medal in high jump.

A or An

In writing we learnt about A and an and how we use it in a story or sentences. These are my examples for a and an . I have learnt that we use an before words starting with vowels or with a silent h eg: It has been an hour since a slept.

Foot Loose

Today we managed to remember our dance from yesterday. In our dance we used rewindable learning. Rewindable learning is when we can go back and watch our video. We also rewinded our learning and practised again and again we collaborated and remembered all the moves we also performed in front the class and I think we were a bit nervous but very excited. Thank you to Zoe for showing us how to do the dance.
