Olympic Artwork

The border is the olympic vocabulary, bronze, silver, gold, olympics, Rio, friendship and respect, and we used the year, 2016.  With the words I coloured them in the olympic rings, red, yellow, black, blue and green.  It also has a nice shaded bright green.  

The main thing is the tessellation.  A tessellation is a repeating pattern that can’t overlap.  We measured up a triangle with sides that were 3.8cm long.  I was also able to make a hexagon and diamond out of the shape.  The colours are bright blue, hot red and dark green.  This was the thing that I liked doing for this artwork.

And my face.  My teacher (Ms Hills) took a photo of my beautiful face.  After that I had to go on the internet and find any athlete who was participating in the Olympics.  My best friend (Javahn) had like the same person, and when we saw each others we started to laugh together.  I had to stick on my head onto the body and we stick the body on the tessellation.  

Oh, and the similes and metaphors.  Can you guess which ones are the smiles and what ones are the metaphors?  Just so you remember a smile is describe something using like or as and a metaphor is a person, place, animal or thing something else (not just like it!).

Competed Course 2

I have competed course 2 so now I'm on course 3.

Hong Kong STEM Challenge

Materials we had access to:

6 x long sticks

1 x wooden square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

1 x 1m ruler

11 x plastic cubes

1 x bunch of popsicle sticks

4 x wooden small flat pieces

 

Challenge #1

Build a structure with a cube as the base:

In challenge 1 was quite hard because we had to have steady hands or we would knock it over and we would have to rebuild it.

Challenge #2

Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

Challenge #2 was two was easier than challenge 1 because we got to use any bottom base and make the tallest building.  But the building would always fall over so I will get angry at it.

Challenge #3

Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

Challenge 3 was really easy because we were building it a little safe.  It didn’t turn out that impressive but it still to us was the best thing we have ever sore.

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!

As Jack was fishing he caught a fish but it was to powerful for him so the fish pulled him into the sea.  The person that was driving the boat didn’t see Jack so he took of.  SPLASH!  Jack could smell diesel coming from the boat getting further and further.  Jack was panicking because he could see sharks crowding him, he was screaming for help “HELP HELP!

Jack was becoming one with the water.  As he was drowning he saw all kind of different fish looking at him.  He was even more terrified when he saw a whole group of piranhas.  The sharks was coming closer and closer to Jack.  So Jack tried to to swim but he couldn’t swim because he doesn’t like the water, so he passed out. He was thinking that he was going to die.   

Out of nowhere a megalodon had rushed to Jack and taken a bite out of his arm.  “AHHHHHHHH”! Shouted Jack.  Jack could see the blood coming out from his arm.  “PLEASE LORD PLEASE HELP ME”! Jack screamed while drowning.  There was a light coming from the sky.  going towards the boy.

What we done well was working as a team and talking as a team

Darnell

What I think I did well was help Kaleb and Patrick make some sentences.

Kaleb:  

The thing that I did well was when I was talking to my buddy when we were writing.
