Olympics Artwork

This is me and my olympics art work. At the back of me is my tessellations, we had to use triangles, squares and hexagons, I measured up a triangle sides that were 3.8 cm to make a hexagon. But I used hexagons and triangles because those shapes (polygons) fit each other. (But if it has a gaps in it that means it’s not a tessellation).

When I had to choose a picture in google, I had nothing because everyone choose the good ones. So I choose this on because he had a medal on his neck. When I look at my medal, it felt like it’s was me, God choose me, I was the one.

Also their are speech bubbles and the thought bubbles, speech bubbles are the similes and the thought bubbles are the metaphors.

In the border are the 3 values Friendship, Respect and Excellence, also the medals, they are bronze, silver and gold.

Hong Kong S.T.E.M challenge 2

                            

Materials that we used: 6 x long sticks 1 x  wooden square 2 x pipe cleaners 2 x straws 1 x 1m ruler 11 x plastic cubes 1 x bunch of popsicle sticks 4 x wooden small flat pieces

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

This challenge I thought that it was difficult because we only got to use one single cube to hold everything on top! We were all shaky, but we made it.

Challenge  #2 -  Build a structure as high as you can on a base.

This challenge I found was easy because we didn’t need to use one block as the base. The only worries that we had was that it kept on breaking, then we made it, but because we had a time limit the last 5 seconds we had, it got knocked over by Musharraf on accident.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

Challenge 3  was really hard because we had to make something stick out on the side so we tried to make a mini machine gun but the last five seconds that we had, it broke down because we were all shaky.

Moment In Time Week 7

Today our teacher asked us to write a ‘Moment In Time’ piece using a picture of a boy in the water.  We planned as a class to make sure we had the 5 W’s and the 6 Senses.

Before we began our writing in small groups we discussed the importance of using descriptive writing, using similes and metaphors where appropriate, using dialogue and have done our best to make sure our punctuation is correct.  Some of us have even used ‘Show Don’t Tell’ in our writing to provide our reader with more of an experience.

Our teacher gave us 10 minutes for each paragraph and then 10 minutes for editing at the end.  We had so much fun working together!

If you have a moment, we would love you to comment on our writing.  

Boy Overboard!

In the Morning Jack was fishing with his father he went to see the beautiful view. He leaned over the side just in the wrong time as the wave hit the boat. He fell into the icy cold water, Jack was screaming for help “HELP” he saw some sharks teeth chattering under the water. He yelled at his dad for help but the dad was listening to some music. So Jack quickly swam to the boat, but the dad went to put the engine on and went of, so Jack screamed as load as a lion "HELP"

I can hear the sharks grinding their teeth together and the finn bobbing up and down.  Jack’s heart was pounding as fast as a bolt that is shrinking earth..  Jack  screamed for help “HELP” yelled Jack and then he saw  Sharks coming towards him.  Hi was terrified from the skanks that are gazing in front of them.

Jack along with other shark’s smelled the petrol which bring the sharks to the boat and gave Jack time to escape from the area of sharks.  He quickly swam away from the sharks and swam to the other side of the boat but will he be fast enough to save his life?...
