Narrative Writing Week 4

This week for writing our class did narrative writing. Narrative writing is a fictional writing where you can write a story based on anything and using your imagination to build a story and make it fictional. In my own time I spent time watching funny, amazing and even emotional X factor auditions. I then decided to write a story as if I was the judge and what happened then. Here is my writing.

Beginning:

It was a beautiful day in Australia. It was the first day of X factor auditions, I was one of the judges and I felt very excited to see what kind of talents were out there. The first person to audition was a lady, all dressed up and eyes with highlighted purple eye shadow. she said she was going to sing a very complicated song. She shakily sang like this, “hooheehoooheehooheehoheehoooheehuuuheee! ” Me and the other judges started laughing and she stopped. Her singing was funnier than a cow trying to sing. We all said no and she exited the auditioning room. Next was a tall blonde haired man, he sang and sang and sang and sang, It didn’t stop and even one of the judges next to me were sleeping.

Middle:

Next was a 17 year old girl. She wore black ripped jeans with an ombre top, red bandana and was ready, holding her microphone. She sang ‘ who’s loving you ‘  She was absolutely unbelievably amazing, her voice was as low-key and powerful at the same time. The crowd was on their feet and absolutely amazed. She cried proud tears and we all praised her, and we all said yes. Next up was a group of filipino girls, they were named 4th impact. They sang ‘ Bang Bang ’ and they performed along with a sassy dance. I was absolutely blown away, even the crowd were on their feet clapping and cheering. I loved them and the judges and I said yes and they started crying, because it was their dream.

End:

The last was a 24 year old guy named James Arthur. He sang an acoustic version of a judge's song. His singing was perfect and he probably became a celebrity already. All of us judges said yes and he was so thankful.The crowd cheered and clapped for him as he left the stage.

At the end I actually liked writing fictional stories and so I enjoyed this task very much. I think maybe next time I should work on, writing about something totally out of the blue and from my imagination and not just re-write about something that has happened in real life. 

Learning Week 3

So this week I learned on how to write a narrative writing. I learned that in a narrative writing, you should plan out first, ten use paragraphs, have correct punctuation and have a beginning, middle and end. I think for me, I should work on being more creative and turn my imagination into a cool narrative writing. In my opinion, narrative writing really does express your imagination and makes up an awesome piece of writing.

Beginning - One silent night I was sitting on the ancient couch, watching some boring old channel on the tv. All of a sudden I heard a knock on the door, I opened it, there was a big red envelope. I grabbed it quickly and the wind slammed it shut. I mysteriously opened the letter, it was an invitation to the night of lights forest party that happens every year before the day of halloween. Everyone going had to bring a night light, I rushed into my room and put on a fancy gown and gapped it with my glass night light. When I arrived there, there was a lot of night lights hung around the tree but no one in sight, I thought everyone was either moved to a different location or was hiding. I was wrong! There were clowns dressed in beautiful gowns and clowns dressed in suits, they came towards me crouched and walking creepily towards me. I tried to escape but there was no way out.

“ heeeeeeeeeeelllllllllppppppppp ! ’’ I desperately screamed.

Middle - “ Bahahahahahhaha ! ’’ everyone laughed. I was confused as to why they were laughing when they shouted “ happy halloween ! ’’ I started laughing to myself and everyone took their masks off, I can’t believe I forgot about halloween. All in all it was a beautiful, magical, wonderful night of laughter and fun activities. As I was walking home it was very very silent the whole time, suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around, no one was there so I nervously rushed home trying not to trip over my dress.

This here, is my narrative writing, that I didn't complete but tried to make up something using my imagination.

Reading Learning for this week

This week for reading I learnt to infer about a book. I had to identify a specific character, then facts about the character. After that, I provided how the character felt throughout the book. I then finally had to write quotes (speeches ), they say. I think overall it was pretty good task I did this week. For next week, I think I should work on working on a task, more complicated, so that it can challenge me a little more and I can learn something new.



 

This is a task I did this week about a book from the school journal, called - Eye Witness

Learning for this week

This week I learnt how to write an informational writing. Informational writing is when you write about a certain subject, you have to inform people about what you're writing about and be specific. For example if you are writing about a sport, you can write about the history of sports and then carry on to a certain sport. When you write about the one sport you can talk about the rules and histories of it. So that is what I learnt in writing this week.

Culture - Tonga

The first king of  Tonga was George Tupou I, he became the king on the 4th of  November 1875. He  died on the 18th of  February 1893. The next king was George Tupou II , he was the double great grandson of George Tupou I. George Tupou II  became king on the 18th of February 1893. He died on the  5th of  April 1918. Then was the first queen , Salote Tupou III, the daughter of George Tupou II. She became the Queen on the 5th of April  1918, she then died on the 16th of December 1918. The next king was Taufa’ahau Tupou IV, he was the son of Salote Tupou III. He became king on the 16th of December 1965. He then died on the 10th of september 2006. Another king in the old days was George Tupou V, he was the son of Taufa’ahau Tupou IV. He became the king on the 11th of September 2006. He then died on the 18th of March 2012. The king of Tonga now is king Tupou VI, he is also the son of Taufa’ahau Tupou IV. He became king on the 18th of March 2012, and he is still the king until now. The Queen of Tonga now is Queen Nanasipau’u, she is the wife of King Tupou IV. She had also became queen on the 18th of March 2012, up until now she is still the queen. The princess of Tonga now is Princess Latufuipeka Tuku’aho, and she is the daughter of the king and queen. She had also became the princess on the 18th of March 2012. Now, I wrote this about all the history of the royals of Tonga.

Tonga, Tonga is a polynesian kingdom made up of 176 south pacific islands and only 40 are inhabited, there are 4 main island groups, Tongatapu, Ha’apai, Vava’u and ‘Eua. Tongatapu island is the ‘’sacred south’’ . It is north across Nuku’alofa ( the capital of Tonga ). 70,000 people live in Tongatapu and Nuku’alofa. On sundays the churches in Tongatapu glow with beautiful harmonies and welcoming people. Ha’apai island, it has 62 islands, atolls, reefs and shoals of the central island of Ha’apai. Vava’u island ( best island ) , has 61 different islands that have coral gardens, deserted beaches and glowing clear lagoons. Underwater, Vava’u has the visibility of up to 30 meters of sea caves and history laden shipwrecks, and they also have plenty of snorkelling places. Some other extra things to be done there would be  jet kayaking, sea kayaking and kiteboarding. ‘Eua is actually the best place for travellers to go and have an amazing adventure. ‘Eua is actually the oldest island in the kingdom, a tongan legend is said the polynesian god, Maui stood when he fished up the islands of Tongatapu, Vava’u and Ha’apai from the deep pacific ocean. There is a place named ‘Eua national park where you can explore with locals and learn about the tongan history and culture. You can even explore the cliffs, caves and sinkholes in  the north of ‘Eua. ‘Eua also has the biggest underwater caves out of the pacific that is nearly as deep as 30 meters. Now this was all about the islands of Tonga.

Now this is my informational writing about Tonga.

Reflection for reading this week

For learning this week I learnt about finding out the main ideas in a story. I think I should work on maybe working on something more challenging tasks so I can learn from it. I also think I should work on staying on task in class so I can complete my tasks on time.
 I think overall reading this week was really good for me.





This is a screenshot of me selecting what the main ideas were in the text.

Begin here: I am at the starting line of the race track and i’m feeling ecstatic to drive. Before I speed off, I see people taking videos and photographs of me getting ready to go. The engine starts and I speed off as swiftly as flash. I reach the first turn and I maneuver, I hear a screeching sound coming from the tyres.

I suddenly perceive that i’m starting to taste my outrageous sweat dripping down. During my ongoing driving, I can smell the foul, polluted air and smoke coming from the exhaustion pipe on the car. I’m now feeling relieved because I finally reach the end, and I can now watch the footage of me driving critically. I can now smell a good fresh air. I hear people clapping and praising me for a fantastic drive.         

Video

Today our class had to watch 360 videos and I picked the car racing one. So basically what we had to do was, write a descriptive writing about this video using first person tense. I felt excited about doing this because I wanted to act as if I was the driver.Well that is it I hope you guys learn something from my blog post for today.

My Goals for Term 2

READING WRITING MATHS GOALS   2017 TERM 2

  

Reading Goal

My next learning goal for Reading is skimming and scanning. I know this because it is in my ‘to be achieved box’ in my E-Asttle results console. I am going to achieve this by not reading the whole text and looking for key information. To look at the title and pictures to get an idea of the text.

Writing Goal

My next learning goal for writing is organisation. I know this because it is in my ‘to be achieved box’ in my E-Asttle results console. I am going to achieve this by gathering my ideas and putting them into paragraphs. To organise the amount of sentence in a paragraph.

Maths Goal

My next learning goal for maths is explaining the meaning of digits in any whole number. I know this because it is in my ‘to be achieved box’ in my E-Asttle results console. I am going to achieve this by knowing ones , tenths and hundredths. To know where ones, tenths and hundredths go. To know what ones , tenths and hundredths mean.

These are my reading, writing and maths goals for this term. I am very proud of how I have written down my goals and I think I can learn more sooner, as I have set my goals, I can now focus on what needs to be done. If you have any feedback for me please comment down below.

Digital Footprint

Today our class have been searching for different students in our class and the digital footprint they have left. Here is all the students I have found in my class. Most of the student's pictures, I have screenshoted from our class photo individually. This is our digital footprint, I hope you can get something from this. So this helps me learn that I should be careful what I post. Hope you can learn from this and also tell others.

Market Day Advertisement

This is me and my group's advertisement for market day. We are selling Burger and Chips and on the side, gold coin fizzy drinks. We are hoping people around the community come. We hope that some people can come and play some of the students games, buy student's products and also eat student's food. 

Our Design

What you need:

• Shredded Plastic
• Oven (for melting plastic)
• Baking paper (to put the plastic on)
• Oven tray (To hold shredded plastic and baking paper)

Step 1:

• First you have to get a metal tin and put some baking paper in it so when you heat the plastic it won’t stick to the pan.lili

Step 2:

• After you have done step 1 you have to get the plastic bits and put in in the metal tin, make sure you don’t over flow it with the plastic or when you put it in the oven it might overflow.

Step 3:

• When you have put the right amount of plastic bits in the tin you can finally put it in the oven and wait for it to melt.

Step 4:

• Make sure to watch the plastic while it's in the oven because if you don’t it might overflow because you might have put too much in the tray.

Step 5:

• When you think it is ready you get one member from your group to put gloves on to get the plastic tray out.When you take it out  put some more plastic bits with it again and put it back into the oven.

Step 6:

• You can choose how much plastic to add in the plastic plaits and when you're  finished with the whole thing.

Here is me and my group's steps to creating plastics sheets. We typed down how we made it and how it should be made. Here is also some pictures to show what we did it.

Music

This is the remix of the latest song, Despacito. This is what I like to listen to sometimes.

My market day idea

Here is me and my friends Market day Idea. In our school every year  we have a special day which is market day. Basically the students in our school have to think of ideas of what they would want to sell. Families, friends or neighbours can come and buy our food or products. We made a survey which we asked what kind of food students think them or their families would like to eat on market day. The majority was Homemade Burger and  Chips. So we made a slide splitting jobs around our group of who would buy what and who would make the burger or chips. Thank you for reading this. Please leave a comment for some feedback.

My persuasive Writing

1. We should listen to Music in class, during work time.

  Because it helps us quiet down and do our work.

  Danielle Flannigan from St. Viator High school says Music helps kids with ADD/ADHD to concentrate better on the work that is in front of them and keeping their minds off distractions.

2. We should keep listening to music and doing work at the same time.Because it keeps our class on track while doing their work. Debate.org says listening to music calms the mind, and it helps when you are stressed.It also says 84% on debate.org say yes to listening to music while working in class.

3. We should always listen to music while doing work in class. Because it keeps our class going and makes them finish their work. Blog.online.colostate.edu says its good for memory and concentration.
