Atheletics

This week on Wednesday we had athletics day. I qualified for 100m Sprints and 400m Sprints. During athletics, wearing shoes were a requirement which was a huge disadvantage, because I couldn't go to my fullest limit. In 100m sprints I came 4th place, and for 400m sprints I either came 3rd of fourth.

William Shakespeare

On friday we were visited by the pop-up globe workers. They gave us information about william shakespeare which was interesting. William Shakespeare would always try to make his sentence rhyme. William Shakespeare also did something called fourth wall, fourth wall is when the narrator includes the audience. One of Williams shakespeare acts called macbeth was extremely cursed. In William Shakespeare's tragedy acts, there is always a death. 

Thanks Giving

The Mayflower sailed out of Plymouth Harbour in England on September 6, 1620. The small sailing ship carried 102 pilgrims across the Atlantic ocean for 65 days to plimouth in the New World . They had religious freedom now but life was hard, as they had to build or  make everything they needed for survival from scratch. The winter made life hard and many people lost their lives, crops failed to grow and spirits were low. Some of the wampanoag tribe helped by giving advice and by bringing food. That next year the pilgrims harvest was much better. To celebrate they hunted for meat and turned many of their crops into delicious food,  and invited the wampanoag tribe to join them in a feast of thanksgiving.

A Journey with a Shoe Life

My mouth was wide open, only to be filled by a huge stinky socks. I liked my hair messy, until tied my owner tied it tight. I didn’t really like him because he kept getting gum, dirt and lots of things on my bottom. Everytime he kicked a ball, it would hurt my face especially my nose. When I got exhausted, he just kept getting stinkier. My owner was annoying, he was so fast he always got my hair untangled. Getting back home was a relief, I could just sit down and sleep. As my owner grabs me, he throws me to the garbage, as I was falling I saw another pair of flash shoe.

 This week for Writing, we were giving Objects inhumane quality (Personification). As for the object, we chose a shoe. Te Pounamu and I were paired up. This was also a challenge because we had to face back to back, no communication was allowed either. 

Greek Mythology

This week for reading, we had to choose a Horrible Histories book. When chosen, we read the whole book, then we made a DLO sharing the information we gathered. Te Pounamu and I chose the Groovy Greeks. Talking about the greeks had a number choice to choose from, the spartans, athens, trojan and Greek God. We chose to talk about the greek gods because it shared some interesting facts.
