Thank you Letter to Ms Parkes

Dear Ms Parkes,

Thank you so much for helping me with my writing. Since I have been working with you, I have   improved a little bit in my writing.  

A couple of the things that I have enjoyed working on with you was how I had to describe the video clips that you sent to Mrs Ramkolowan. The video clip that I enjoyed describing was the furious black piranha because we got to write a diamante poem on it and we got to do some art on it. I found that area really fun to work on.

One more thing that I enjoyed doing with you was writing 4x4 poems. Doing that really helped me learn about adjectives, adverbs, verbs and nouns. That really helped me improve more in my writing. I really like doing 4x4 poems because I could use all that I learned from that in my writing.

So, thank you very much Ms Parkes. Your suggestions have been very usefull for me to use. Since I have been working with you I have understood many things that have to do with writing like making good sentences, editing my work to make sure that it makes sense and using a variety of interesting and expensive words to make my work even better.

Yours sincerely,

Petuana

Serving Breakfast

Last week monday, we went to sports camp. At sports camp we got to serve breakfast to all the schools that came. It was cool serving breakfast but it was a little bit tempting for me to give children more yogurt because they would always ask for some but I got use to giving them just enough because I got to serve a couple of times. I really enjoyed sports camp because not only did I get a chance to serve but I also made some new friends from different schools.

Diamante Poem

Converting Fractions to Decimals

WALT: Convert fractions to decimals.

In this game, I was learning how to convert fractions to decimals. I found that I could convert fractions with 10,100 and 1000 as the denominator because if I had to convert 25/10 it would just be 0.25 because you just add a zero then a decimal then the numerator. I still need a lot more practice on this though and next time, I want to get 20 out of 20 correct.

The Black Piranha

The Black Piranha

WALT: Write a descriptive paragraph

It was a lovely summers day and a man (George) decided to go out and have an adventure out in the South American rivers. Why did he decide to go there though? Well, george loved the outback and he also loved sea species. One day, a friend told him about the South American rivers and how there were Black Piranhas that lived there. He was fascinated to know that there were Black Piranha’s living there so he decided to go out there and find some.

“ Hmmm, I wonder if the piranhas are here?” questioned George. Then in about 15 minutes after he said that, he saw a creature lurking around his boat. George felt like he was being stalked by someone but then out of no where a black piranha shooted out of no where and George was so fascinated that he called his friends ( Mike and Sarah) and they started to ask him what it looked like, so he started to describe it in a deep voice because he was still so shocked!

“With it’s superb set of strong, sharp and fearsome teeth they are one of the sharpest in the world. It has a very distinctive dark body colour and has rare fire burning red eyes. This fearsome sea creature can bite you in half a second and is cannibalistic, so that means that this creature can and definitely will eat it’s own kind. The Black Piranha hunt’s on it’s own instead of hunting in a pack and they are not afraid to. It is so maneuverable that when it swims, it’s like it’s sprinting in the ocean, as it swurves it’s body side to side. It swims at a very great pace and has a very stocky body like a bulldog. “

After he finished describing it, he then released the piranha and safely went back home with a story to tell his family back at home.

Textiles

On Monday, we have tech, and I am in sewing class. In sewing class I practicing sewing on a piece of paper and I basicly just sewing squiggles. I did this with a guide line but next time, I think I should just use a guideline because I'm not very good at sewing without a guide line.
