Quick Writes Narrative


Once.not twice, but once upon a time.In the land where East meets West,and North meets South,which is nowhere , everywhere and here , there lived a gentleman who was rich. He had everything he could imagine. He had cars, servants, mansion, and a deep as swimming pool. The reason why he was rich was because of his family business. But there was one thing, he had no friends.Every single day he would walk at of his house alone with nobody to talk to.



About two weeks ago in writing we did a quick writes activity.We did this with a partner my partner was Charlize. So we would rotate around the classroom, it would have a piece of paper on that piece of paper it would have a story starter.With your partner you would have 1 minute to plan and talk it out with your partner about the story starter and have 5 minutes to write 6 sentences. Our learning intention was to understand how our choice of words create the mood of the story.

Today in Maths time I was working really hard on my timetables. I was testing myself on this site called Magic Magician.I was working on my 3 and 8 times tables I think I done really good considering I am really bad at my 8x timetables. My goal is to get more confident  in all my timetables 1-12.

Narrative Plan Mind Map


Today my writing group's main focus was to plan a narrative story. We practiced it by making a narrative plan with a picture prompt.The planning structure we used was "TOPES" ( Title,Orientation,Explain and Solution. For this task I worked with Charlize. I picked one of the picture prompt story plan and made it into a mind map.I think mind map made it easier because it put each topic into different parts.

PBS Flag Vote


This week I have been working on this DLO about our PBS flag vote I made a graph on google sheets and put the results on the bar graph.  When I looked at the results I was really shocked because most of the junior school voted for the new flag and the majority senior school voted for the current flag. I think the juniors picked the new flag because of the layout of the new flag because from their view it looks colorful.
