Week 6 Term 2

This week we have been busy. For maths, I have learnt how to write ratios in their simplest form, to understand proportions, to use ratio to divide quantities, and to use scale and ratio with problems. For reading, we are starting a novel analysis and we get to choose a book we have recently read to do an analysis on. For writing, we have started on persuasive writing and we have learnt about rule of three, repetition, exaggeration, description and imagery, alliteration, facts, rhetorical questions, personal pronouns, emotive language, and flattery.

In tech arts, we played the drums, and we also played london bridge is falling down and twinkle twinkle little star on the keyboard. Ms Motes was away on Friday, so we had Mrs Germann, the vice principal. I have nearly finished my science fair, I just have to write my data and results and then my conclusion. The science fair boards come next week and then I just need to print of my paragraphs, and hand it in by next Friday.

This Wednesday we had winter games. We had the choice out of volleyball, corner ball, football, rugby, netball, indoor bowls, and basketball. Since I play netball on Saturdays I thought that doing netball would be fun. I played goal shoot (GS), and goal attach (GA) because they are my favorite positions, and we won one game, but lost the two others.

In french, we have learnt how to ask and how to say the weather. Quel temps fait-il? (Whats the weather like?). Il fait beau (it's good weather), il fait mauvais (it's bad weather), il fait chaud (it's hot), il y a du soleil (it's sunny), il y a du vent (it's windy), il y a du brouillard (it's foggy), il pleut (it's raining), il neige (it's snowing), and il y a du nuggeux (it's cloudy). I can't remember them without looking at my oui book, but hopefully I will get them. In Japanese we didn't learn any new characters, but we learnt Japanese calligraphy. There was only three people out of eight because five of them were at junior tough guy and girl. Junior tough guy and girl is when people run through a muddy course with lots of other schools, but it's no just a race it is also about teamwork.
