Novel Study 100 Word Challenge #2

This week I was working on my second 100 Word challenge for the next 3 chapters on my novel study. Something I was working on was creating a picture in the readers mind and keeping it to only 100 words.

100 Word Challenge

Chapters 4-6

It was the second day at our new home and I was arranging my dolls on my shelves all around the room when Bruno rushed through the door yelling my name. ¨Do you ever knock? Bruno!¨ I yelled in frustration. ¨You have to come see this Gretel!¨ I followed him down the hallway where he was walking slowly down to the small narrow window inside his room. I took a look outside the window but all I saw was trees then in the distance where Bruno was pointing to was a little farm and there were lots of people were running around but they were all boys and there were no girls at all.

Chapters 1-3

The year was 1943 and I had just arrived back from school Maria was in my room snatching all my things from my wardrobe and shoving them into a huge suitcase. I was really confused, why was she packing up my room? Are we going somewhere? I didn't know what to do.  Mother said we're moving. Then the next day we loaded all of our things into a big truck and we followed it to our new place. It was smaller than our home back in Berlin and it was really boring it didn't have anything special about it, it was just concrete.

Holidays

Holidays 

This morning, we wrote 5 basic sentences about our holidays. We looked at a range of different connectives that will improve our writing. A connective is a word that joins simple sentences , e.g. such as, never the less, in spite of etc. next we spent time improving out 5 basic sentences by using connectives. Do you use connectives? If so, which ones? 

For the first week of the holidays I lazily lay on the couch most of the time watching netflix.

Nearly everyday we jumped in the car and traveled to Invercargill to see my Poppa because he was in hospital.

Despite the bad weather my mum, my brother and I still went to kidzone for the day.

For a couple days I stayed in a house that my aunty was renting in Invercargill and since it was cold my cousins and I tried to light the fire but nearly burnt the whole house down.

Near the end of the holidays we took a trip to town to watch the new spiderman movie with my cousins while eating lots of lollies and popcorn.

First Aid DLO

After our session with Felicia from St John's in Schools we realized we had learnt a lot. We thought...how can we share what we have learnt? So we brainstormed lots of ideas...from making movies to presentations to art projects. Eventually we split into groups and decided what we want to create.

My group was Emma,Carey,Khali and I and we decided to create a movie to share our learning.

The past couple weeks I have been working on my digi dig which is a slide that we have to complete and it teaches you some tips and small things like shortcuts you can use which using a Chromebook. I was working on getting it done in a short amount of time because I was away for a week at technology.

The Milky White Chocolate

The mother of all foods; the best thing I have tasted in my life is sitting right in front of me; just waiting to be dropped in my basket. Its screaming my name, it wants me I can hear it clearly. But Mum told me to just get some things for her, now what do I need? Yes that's right I need: bacon, eggs, milk, flour and that's right that amazing block of Milky White chocolate right in front of my eyes!  Snatching it from the shelf I chucked it in my basket and rushed to the checkout.

So easy.
