The storm

My 20 minute blog writing was a quick and short narrative about a young girl and her nightmare. Enjoy my quick little story :) 

The storm 

As the heavy storm got worse the quivering girl curled up tighter in her bed. The lightning and thunder were all banging and rolling constantly filling her ears with loud clashes and bangs like an unpleasant marching band. The old oak tree hung low over her window giving away a silhouette of what seemed to be… a monster! It was knocking loudly on the window. She shivered in fear, being only 7 years old and terrified of a storm seemed silly but to her it was a living nightmare. Then the monster growled and slowly snuck into her room. The young girl had her eyes closed shut and held her blankets very firm in her hands and over her face. The growl grew closer and closer. She waited for the monster to grab her but when she pulled the blanket down to reveal the monster it was her imagination. Trying to take advantage of her dreams. As her eyes opened the day was new and the horrible storm was only a dream. The birds chirped and flew happily in the crisp morning air. She awoke with a smile. “Uhh it was only a dream”

Room 5 & 6 Assembly

Since its been Halloween and our classes were on assembly we decided to have a Halloween themed one. I personally wasn't that thrilled and interested in the assembly but others enjoyed it. We performed a dance called  Un poco loco from one of my favourite movies, Coco. Another dance called rave in the grave, presented our te reo selfie videos and a song. Here is a photo of our classes after the assembly.

   

Geometry 2

One more geometry activity to share with you guys :) I picked an activity where you had to name all the properties of these geometrical shapes. Im not confident on working on geometry as I don't know most of it. Such as vertices and edges, i needed to ask for help and research on google what they are before it started to make sense. I checked if i was right on google as well (hope that doesn't count as 
cheating) but here my working is anyways. 

Geometry Activity 1

We are learning about geometry this week and I decided to do a position and orientation activity. I created my very own maze and made directions to help you get to the end of my maze. I found making it difficult. First I drew a draft on my book and then transferred it onto paper. I then made my directions using the compass way. (Never, Eat, Soggy, Weetbix is the way I remember it) You can pretend to play yourself and try even making your own maze. Enjoy!

What makes a quality blog post

Our reading activity for this week was to make a DLO (Digital Learning Object) about what makes a quality blog post. I used the site easel.ly and found it very easy to use. Finding certain things I wanted on my presentation was a bit difficult but I tried my best and gave good results. Here is my presentation from easel.ly I have made. Hopefully you guys can follow these tips too to help makes your blog posts better! Enjoy :)

Maths Eyes - Week 6

Another post about our weekly Maths Eyes. Here is a picture of these bricks and my Google Drawing I used to create my presentation. Hope you enjoy :)

Maths Eyes

Our weekly maths task is to use our 'Maths Eyes' We look at a picture of an object or anything maths related and write down what kind of things we see. Points, angles or parallel lines are all maths related things we have to look for in the pictures we are given. We also have to create questions for others to answer. Here is my maths eyes.
