Limericks

This week we have been learning about limericks. We had to search what a limerick is and make a DLO about it with an example. I'm not very good at writing limericks because I think too much about the story.

Fortnite Disappeared into a blackhole and it should've stayed there for good

Well preparing for our eAsTTle  writing test we wrote a lot of  persuasive arguments. One of them we did was about fortnite. Here is my writing!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Last Thursday was Halloween. I went to ShantyTown with my drama group and dressed up as zombies. I didn't get to scare people, instead I helped out with selling candy, popcorn, popsicles, the donation box and the clicker. It was a lot of fun putting the makeup on and dressing up though! Oliver also had a halloween party on saturday. I dressed up the same, but I didn't have proper makeup and latex at home so had to ruin my face with food colouring, pva glue and tissues. I'm glad it didn't stain!

Mr Kumar told us to write a spooky story, so I chose the scariest thing ever to exist. Read it to find out!!

Team Time

Today Totora had team time. This means that we get to either bring our own device, or watch a movie with popcorn (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). It's a reward for the people who do their work and/or don't get on reflection. I'm a pretty average kid, so I got on. I chose own device. I TRIED to play minecraft with Oliver but it wouldn't let me join his world so i just played my own world where I'm making my own village. All the animals are called Greg and Greg's Girlfriend. I also messaged my friend in America.

Algebra

This week for numeracy, Mr Kumar has been teaching us about Algebra. It seems scary when you hear it, but it's actually super easy. We did a few work sheets around it, then we got this slide explaining it further.  I actually like this Algebra, and would like to try something harder.

Wearable Arts

Since term 2, we have been working on wearable arts. Liam, Rata and I are making a Fern Dress. We made our prototype, which ended up losing both arms and the stick helping it stand up... We have a few issues, but are brainstorming ideas to fix them. For example, how are we going to get the dress on and off? We thought we could make an opening in the metal hoop skirt and she could slip in and out of it, or more fabric instead of a hoop skirt, then add a zip.

We will start to make the proper dress tomorrow. Here is a picture of our prototype

Instructions

Yesterday we made paper planes using the set of instructions on a google doc. Some of them were really confusing, and I kept mucking up. Later on, we went outside and flew them. Mine did ok, but I was way far from a ralevent place.
In the afternoon, one of the Juniors came to our class and taught us how to make origami butterflies. It was a lot of fun and I made two. He also gave us the instruction sheet so we could try ourselfs. Thank you Jo for teaching us!!

Now that we've done that, we have to  create our own step by step instructions to make anything. I'm not sure what I'm going to do it on yet. I did do a little funny one while I was thinking, though it's not very good... Hopefully I will have an idea by tomorrow!
