The Olympic Art

This term me and my class (Room 10) worked hard on this artwork..  First we had to draw a tessellation and I used triangles and measured up a triangle with sides that were 3.8 cm long to make a hexagons, we made the hexagon with the triangles, we made them by 3.8 with a ruler to make the triangle.  The easiest part in my tessellation was doing the vocabulary and the values.   My Olympic vocabulary is in the background, there is vocabulary like the 3 values they are FriendShip, Excellence and Respect.  When you play you get put in a place like 1st, 2nd or 3rd if you cheat then you won't get a medal just like Russia they take drugs.  I don’t know if there is other countries that take drugs. In the speech bubbles and the thought bubbles are metaphors and similes.   My similes were, I was as fast as lightning reaching for the finish line and the other one was I am a kangaroo leaping over the ramps trying not to fall.  My metaphors were my long hair was flowing a golden river as I leapt over the ramps. I did that metaphor because as you leap over the ramps your hair flows in the wind like a waves and my other metaphor was the world is my stage as I pulled another stunt.  I did these similes and metaphors.

Hong Kong STEM Challenge

Materials

6 x long sticks

1 x  wooden square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

1 x 1m ruler

11 x plastic cube

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

Challenge one was hard because we had to put one block as our base on the bottom. It always fell down but next time we will but light object.

Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

It was hard because the higher it goes it wobbles a little and because me, Darnell and Javahn we were all working on the same thing once and we didnt work on talking to each other.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

It was hard because the higher it goes it wobbles a little and because me, Darnell and Javahn we were all working on the same thing once and we didnt work on talking to each other

It was hard because we kept knocking it over with our fat hands and because we kept on bumping the table with our hands.  This happened because Darnell banged the table with his.

Moment In Time Week 7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.  

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

Jack and his Father went fishing, Jack looked down into the water to see if he could see some fish, his dad pushed him off the boat,  he splashed into the water and was gasping for breath, then suddenly he saw a shark swimming toward him.  His foot got caught into a net and all Jack could see was the sharks surrounding him “AHHH!”  screamed Jack.

As Jack was in the water he could see his Dad driving away in the boat.  “HELP!” Jack cried “HELP!” nobody could Jack’s lonely voice, his heart was pounding like the waves crashing against the rock in a storm.   It was like his Dad left in a blink of an eye one minute he was there, then 30 seconds later he was gone.

The sharks came back for more surrounding Jack in the deep blue sea, Jack tried to swim away but the sharks followed him from behind.  Jack tried to swim faster and faster as one shark from behind tried to take a chunk of meat out of Jack’s leg, Jack dodged the shark like a fish getting hooked by a fisher men.

Mya:  

I think that it was fun working with my buddy Kyara because we both had different ideas to share with each other and to gather all our knowledge and I also learn more vocabulary from her.   

Kyara:

I think working with my buddy (Mya) was great and fun because she has ideas, we both share our ideas before we put it on our writing. When we put our ideas on our piece of writing, we also put a some similes in.
