Inspired writing

The past few weeks we have been working on poetry and we had to start with a
simple sentence then add more detail to make it better. We had categories to choose from
such as space, fantasy and animals.



  1. The girl swam in the water.
  2. The girl swam in the deep blue water.
  3. The girl glided like a gold fish through the deep blue water .
  4. The girl glided like a gold fish through the deep blue water actively trying to escape the sharks.
  5. Fearfully, the girl glided like a gold  fish through the deep blue shark infested waters
  6. actively trying to escape them.
  7. Fearfully, the girl glided like a gold  fish through the deep blue shark infested waters actively trying to escape them. Her only help being the faint light she held to keep track of the sharks whereabouts.

Picture
Fearfully, the girl glided like a gold  fish through the deep blue shark infested waters actively trying to escape them. Her only help being the faint light she held to keep track of the sharks whereabouts.

This is supposed to be my best sentence/s but I don't like its too detailed it sounds strange.

The meaning of the colours:

Vocab: R4 because I added similes and adjectives.

Climate Change Issues - Science

Aim: To learn about the different emissions of climate change.

Factories: By making clothes, cars, electronics and processed foods creates alot of pollution. When materials such as plastic, cardboard,metal and cement are made harm full gases are released into the air and water.

Cows:
Cows create a greenhouse gas called methane when they burp. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.

Electricity: Can come from renewable sources and a non renewable sources like fossil fuels and they release CO2 into the atmosphere.

Food: We need food to survive but in order for us to get some of it it has to be shipped and when it is shipped over gases from transportation such and planes trains and trucks release carbon dioxide into the air.

Land fill: Our landfills are growing and using up more healthy land. When waste breaks down in landfills, greenhouse gases are created including methane and carbon dioxide.

Transportation: Most cars need gas or diesel to work these come from oil which is a fossil fuel the carbon dioxide from the oil goes into the atmosphere goes into the air when the car is running.

100 Word Challenge

This is my 100 word challenge for this we had to have 100 words no more no less. Mine is about something kind of naughty my best friend and I did. We had to include the phrase Looking back I remember. Then we had to make sure we definitely had 100 words if not we had to add or remove some words.


Looking back I remember,
On my first year of primary school, during interval, I remember going to the bathroom with my best friend Erika and pouring soap all over the floor and taking off our shoes. We skated up and down in our socks for ages even through to class time. As time went on, obviously it was slippery we fell over a lot so  when we finally came back to class our teacher wondered what happened so we told her, but we weren't in trouble, we didn’t even have to clean it. We did, however, make our teacher laugh.

Reading DLO



This week we have been working on a book which is not too bad. I like it so far but its not too easy or hard to read which is good. I think its the kind of book that will get better as we read more but so far I think its good.

DMIC Maths

This week in DMIC math we have been doing problems that involve using a graph so we learned how to use one.

 We had a problem about 2 peoples medicine so when and how much they need of it. On one side of the graph we put the time on one side and on the other we put the amounts so in this case it was milliliters (ml).
Then we had to put down either on every line a 10ml difference or more so we started off with a 10 ml difference then we learnt that the numbers didn't have enough space to go high enough so we made it 20 mls and in the hours it went every 3 hours so 3,6,9 etc. 
But if your hours don't need to be that short like you only needed it for every 12 hours you could just do it every 12 or 10 hours on the graph its one of those things you can customize to what you need.

DMIC math is fun but depending on the problem it can be really easy or really hard it doesn't really vary in the middle. But all in all I do like doing it.

In the dark spaces- Reading Tasks- Rating

Rating

Out of 10 I would give this book a 6 out of 10.  Made a number line as part of this task so I could show were on the scale it was. 

Reason 

The reason for this rating is because i'm still struggling to understand what is really happening in the book or what its about. Another reason for this is the stuff that I do understand just doesn't appeal to me I wouldn't choose to read this again but I don't hate the book. 

Comparing
Compared to other texts I've read I like this more than some less than others. I do however like reading this more than reading school journals because they are just too easy.


Conclusion

In conclusion I don't really mind this book but I don't love it either. I would how ever recommend it to someone who loves mystery I haven't read the whole thing yet so i'm still hopeful it will get better.
