Lions Maths

Lions Maths

For the past 3 weeks our maths has been focused on the Lions rugby team and we had to plan a 40 day trip to New Zealand from a chosen place from where the Lions came from. My favorite part was working the entertainment and where to go. 

100 Word Challenge

100 Word Challenge

This week for the 100WC we had to write about a small sentence that was ´The weather changed dramatically.' Our focus was using good vocab and adding semi colons. I had to work mostly on my vocab and I think that I used it very well in this story. 

We were all having an amazing time outside; the sun was shining and the birds were chirping and we have having the best time. But then out of nowhere the weather changed dramatically, the sun went away behind the clouds and the bright blue sky turned into a dark grey colour and it starting raining out of nowhere. We quickly sprinted outside and the thunder and lightning came fast! I was watching the flashes of lightning strike outside. I could hear the thunder banging and crashing on the roof; the trees were grumbling and growling and the dogs were barking.

Speechboard

Speech Board

Every year at Drummond School we have Speech board and we have to pick a subject based on the inquiry topic. Speech board helps us with our oral language skills (speaking and listening). We have to write a speech then get bullet points off it and put them on a google slide with lots of pictures, then we have to write a poem and learn it off by heart, we also have to get a blurb out of a book and it has to be 100 words, last we have to do an impromptu speech which could be a welcome or a thank you but the juniors had to answer a fake phone call.

The most challenging thing would be learning the poem and doing the impromptu speech because it was hard practising it when you didn’t know what it was going to be. If I was to do it again I would get more practise and try to get a higher mark. There is Fail which is the lowest then: Pass, Commended, Highly Commended and Distinction.

My topic was the Hector's Dolphin, my book was ‘Wonder’ by R.J. Palacio and I wrote a poem called ‘That was the Holidays’. Then I had to thank a Hector's Dolphin expert that came to share their knowledge with the school.

100 Word Challenge

This week I was working on my word choice. How do you think mine is this week?

Creme Egg Explosion

The Creamy sensation leaking from its milk chocolate shell. The workers surrounding it ankle deep in goo trying to keep it from escaping. They Lay out the red road cones to keep it from spreading, while panicking and moving as fast as they can. The chocolate substance melting all over the road from the burning sun. Worker one investigates the creamy yolky texture while worker two and three work on keeping it from spreading and melting. Bits of shredded core of chocolate burning in the sunlight. “This isn't working it just keeps on spreading in the sun.”

Here is the picture

100 Word Challenge

Every Monday we have a new creative writing challenge called the 100 world challenge. I enjoyed doing this because it was fun writing a story with only 100 words. I think that its a good writing challenge because it really helps if you have not enough words then when you edit you could make it better. The weeks Prompt was "The water just kept gushing out."  

“The water just kept gushing out.” Billy explained as he tried to clog up the pipe with an old rag he found on the ground. “Billy we have been trapped in this old janitor's closet for hours now and there is no way out and the pipe has broke, we’re ankle deep in water we’re gonna drown and there's nothing we can do.” Jimmy yelled. “We need to keep trying to get out of this water I’m not gonna die in here we have so much to live for, we are going to clog up this pipe and get out!”
